Hizashi Hyuga's formulaic reprimand was like a gentle breeze.
It wasn't what Hizashi Hyuga truly meant, and Hyuga Sho didn't care.
The view shifted to Hyuga Mami.
Hyuga Mami's expression remained unchanged.
It was as though their previous spar had never existed, as though nothing had happened.
But Hyuga Sho, who had grown up with Hyuga Mami since childhood, knew very well that this was Hyuga Mami pretending to be strong.
In truth.
She was fragile by nature.
Like a glass doll.
It wouldn't take much to break her.
A moment later.
Hyuga Sho looked toward Hizashi Hyuga. "Give me a hand, Hizashi Hyuga."
The sudden interruption.
And the way he addressed him directly by name...
Even Hizashi Hyuga couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
Then came the whispers that swept through the scene.
Calling Hizashi Hyuga by his name was far too disrespectful, no matter how one looked at it.
Below.
When Hyuga Suetsuchi heard Hyuga Sho's words, he immediately stood up.
Several other branch family members who respected Hizashi Hyuga also rose from the dojo floor.
A trace of anger flashed across their faces.
They seemed ready to say something to Hyuga Sho.
These past few days.
It wasn't as though they hadn't heard about Hyuga Sho.
Including the many things Hyuga Sho had done that they themselves hadn't dared to do.
Everyone had secretly felt thrilled and fantasized about resisting the Main Family just like Hyuga Sho.
But...
Today.
This Hyuga Sho was actually being so rude even to Lord Hizashi!
"Hyuga Sho, you—"
"..."
When Suetsuchi opened his mouth, Hyuga Sho didn't say anything. He merely pointed casually.
A stream of water shot out from his fingertip.
It was a change in the nature of the Water Attribute.
This was a new trick Hyuga Sho
