"Flame Finger!"
Hyuga Sho casually fired a Flame Finger toward the spot where Mei Terumi's voice had come from.
The sound that echoed back was that of the attack striking the wall.
When Hyuga Sho used this technique,
a whooshing sound came from behind him.
Hiss, hiss!!

Hyuga Sho seized an opportunity and struck out with one palm.
