After seeing one of them being not only sent flying away by Nina, someone who unlike them, has taken the energy path as her main, not to mention that her flames despite being the non-improved, light orange-colored ones, easily burned the flesh of their teammate which had been tempered with fire attributed resources for so many years, the other two guys froze for a second before they fiercely turned to see Nina.
They two of them took out their spirit weapons, which were swords, they both used one handed long swords since they are the "easiest" to wield and the easiest to train in order to obtain intent.
Or at least that's the general consensus publicly reached, the truth is that a weapon's strength and efficiency is determined by the user and the resulting intent's power and quality also depends on the user, after all no one would dare to call Iris or Nerissa's intent "common" after being slashed by their swords, which are one handed long type ones as well.
