Air resistance proved somewhat inadequate against the attacks of large-caliber firearms.

Fortunately, Joey was fast enough. After the air resistance briefly impeded the bullets, he charged into the corridor.
With Gyo focused in his eyes, he immediately made out the precise situation of the enemies in the distance.
Although he could also see what was happening outside through surveillance, looking through a screen ultimately revealed fewer details and issues than looking directly at his opponent.
