Ah, yes. I am a highly-trained U.S. officer under direct command of a U.S. General, but let me divert my entire attention to a worm the main character with a bunch of magical weapons threw at me so he can just use any of his magical weapons to do magical things to me! All this training is finally paying off!
Why would a battle-hardened veteran officer even divert his attention to a bottle the target is throwing? They even knew he was dangerous, and had a U.S. General with a god-level relic as a hostage, but sent ONLY TWO GUYS? WHAT THE HELL?
