The air trembled with Taro's killing intent, a force that communicated his readiness to strike if provoked. His muscles tensed, ready for action, as he silently dared the Fire Wolves to make the first move.
Despite the tension in the atmosphere, Taro hesitated to engage in combat. Yves' instructions etched in his mind, urging caution and emphasizing the importance of regrouping quickly.

If they were to encounter a monster on par with Taro's own capabilities, Fizz's inexperience could prove to be a significant liability.
