He was so busy trying to locate Tendou knowing that the redhead was dangerous if he caught anyone off guard that he almost missed Asahi's strained shout of:

"Nishinoya! Look out!"

———

⚠️this one is painful lmao⚠️

Noya spun around, barely missing a blade that was thrown at him and holding his breath as it missed his jawline by mere centimeters.
It felt as though time slowed down as he watched it soar into the nearby wall, exhaling and furrowing his brows as he continued running for the stairs. "Thanks, Asahi-san!"

Asahi nodded brusquely and watched him disappear safely from view before turning back to Daichi, who was still trying to get past Oikawa, and then looked around for Suga.
He spotted him before long, blood trickling down his lower lip and a part of his arm cut, though he didn't quit in fighting to keep Kuroo away from Yachi - who was trying to find a safe way out for everyone.

Hinata struggled to get away again, hellbent on getting to Kageyama, but the blow he'd taken to the head was slowing him down with each agonizing throb at a time.
He tried wriggling one of his legs up to push against Kyoutani, letting out an irritated sigh and looking around for some sort of advantage.

Mattsun and Iwaizumi had regrouped by the locked door while Makki taunted Tsukki, who stood still but kept a hand by his gun, brows furrowed.
"Kill him, we don't have a use for him." Iwaizumi murmured while keeping a careful eye on Oikawa, nodding to Kyoutani while gesturing to Hinata.

"Yes, sir." Kyoutani sighed, pulling a syringe from somewhere in his pocket and smirking to himself.

Hinata's eyes widened, trying harder to push away now and stuttering for a few moments. "W-Wait, no!"

He barely had time to finish before a fist flew into the opposing cadet's shoulder, hard enough for him to stumble back and release Hinata with a surprised yelp.
The orange haired boy took a huge breath and practically fell forward, only to be caught by the familiar figure and gently held up.

"You okay? Did they beat you up too bad?"

It was Noya.

Hinata let a relieved smile onto his face, brows raising as he shook his head and recovered his posture. "I'm okay."
"Good," Noya returned the grin before pointing to the staircase, giving the younger boy a soft push towards it. "Lets get moving, come on!"

Hinata stopped, not sure what to do and giving the door another helpless glance. "But Ka-"

"We'll get him out, I promise." Noya whispered, shooting Iwaizumi a glare as the deputy apparently noticed the situation, pushing Hinata again. "But right now we have to go!"

Hinata broke into a sprint with that being said, skidding down the stairs and looking around for anyone who needed help.
His brows arched, watching as Noya barely even waited a beat before running off to defend a wounded Asahi towards the side of the building.

Suga was breathing hard, squinting as he wiped blood away from his nose. "You think you're all that, huh?" He muttered, widening his stance defensively and waiting for Kuroo to strike at him again.
