The usually calm Maggie couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety.
"Phoenix Academy, Hojo, where are you?"
Familiar English words passed through layer upon layer of Heavenly Locks into the interior. Hojo Shouko's mind was distracted, instinctively wanting to pull Inuyasha over.
This distraction gave the Nekomata an opportunity.
"Old man!"
It let out a roar, and Sanjushi Seiji, who had been chasing Phoenix Academy Maggie, also reacted.
Now, with a disadvantage in numbers, continuing to face each enemy individually was clearly impossible.
It quickly turned its dragon head, gathering a silver-white wave in its mouth.
The Nekomata's fierce glow was even more evident, as every strand of its fur stood erect, and its sharp claws emitted a chilling light.
In less than a second, the atmosphere of the battlefield suddenly changed, and Phoenix Academy Maggie also sensed the unmistakable oddity.
She saw them prioritizing an attack on Hojo Shouko.
Pupils dilated.
