Ryu had spent what felt like the whole of his first life fighting against this woman with nothing more than his words. But, honestly, he had never taken her too seriously.
He was naïve.
No one was much of a threat to him when he had the behemoth of the Tatsuya Clan to his back. He could joke around as he pleased, poking his finger at the noses of World Sea Realm experts like they weren't worth much as a mere mortal.
It didn't help Ryu take Mistress Holy Wing seriously when the tandem of his parents, even while not being in the World Sea Realm themselves, could take her on with ease, let alone what his grandfathers could do to her.
