"If you keep holding back, I won't give you any more openings." Percival said without any hesitation.
None of the other heroes said anything, but the looks that they gave Ikki said everything.
It was clear that all of them had seen that he had held back at the very last second.
His hesitation was something that they understood since they had seen him trying to save the kid all these years, but that didn't mean that they accepted his hesitation.
They all thought that he was a fool for hanging onto this hope for so long.
After all, it was clear that this kid had changed into something completely different at this point. He would have to be delusional to even have hope that he would be able to save him.
Ikki didn't say anything at first, but then he said with a sigh, "It was a moment of weakness, but it won't happen again."
