In this chapter, we learn that the three snotty-nosed dudes have been working hard to protect the little guy. He's a "sentient-being" , which means he's super-smart and super-human-like. The dude's got a lot of physical strength, but he doesn't have a ton of "spirit energy," which is basically the same thing as "physical strength." The dude is super-confident that he'll beat the heck out of the three of them. He tells them to "cut the crap" and "come here and die" .
