But as I'd just said, people's minds didn't change that easily.
Everyone lived in a world shaped by their own perceptions.
As soon as Shiraishi Yoshijo finished speaking, Takemoto Anna charged at him, grabbed him by the collar, and threw him over her shoulder.
As Shiraishi Yoshijo sailed through the air, he blinked and recalled some painful memories from his childhood.
Was she trying to bring back his dark past?
Shiraishi Yoshijo absolutely couldn't let that happen.
The moment he hit the ground, his body turned into a swarm of butterflies that gathered behind Takemoto Anna.
Takemoto Anna grew wary and swung a whipping kick behind her.
Shiraishi Yoshijo scattered into butterflies again.
This time, he didn't approach Takemoto Anna. Instead, he appeared far away from her.
"Don't tell me you think you can still ride on my back and beat me up like when we were kids?"
"Why not? Just because you've gotten stronger doesn't mean everyone else stood still."
Shiraishi Yoshijo laughed in anger. "You can't win with words, so you resort to violence. You really are that old geezer's granddaughter."
Takemoto Anna snorted. "I've never used my full strength against you. How about I let you see what I can do today?"
She began forming Hand Seals, and Shiraishi Yoshijo furrowed his brow.
This was the hospital rooftop. Using Ninjutsu here would cause far too much damage.
"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet!"
Before Shiraishi Yoshijo could think it through, Takemoto Anna had already unleashed her Fire Release.
And she wasn't finished. She continued forming Hand Seals.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
A combination of wind and fire techniques—
Shiraishi Yoshijo's expression darkened. If he dodged, at least half the hospital would collapse.
He had no choice. Shiraishi Yoshijo quickly formed three Hand Seals.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
