"This is a life or death battle. And in a life or death battle, there's no time to think about the safety of someone else who's your enemy. There's only time to think about yourself." Noah pressed his foot on the ground hard as he spoke, stopping in his tracks once again as he leapt up into the air and up the trees, hiding on top of one of the tree branches as he continued his words. "You're going to have a lot of fights like that, Noah. That's the path you have in front of you. And sooner or later, that 'no killing' mentality of yours is going to end up killing the both of us."
The original Noah didn't reply immediately. And he didn't have to, because right then, Noah's eyes widened, and he leapt up right before the bright blue strand of light hit the tree trunk that was right behind him, causing the entire tree to smash into pieces.
BOOM!
