[@Zelosse] I wasn't being serious lol. Take ya time. 

EDIT: Sometimes I forget the light jokes can be lost in translation. 

[@vancexentan] Well ranking has nothing to do with what the Hero is [i]doing[/i]. The pain from the petals wasn't enough to distract him from his enemy. He fully expected Heroes to be outside and if anything his guard was supercharged due to not knowing what kind of Hero to expect (cue the hostage). Though the petals stabbing into the ground was a great hint. After the attempted attack on his legs he would have tightened his grip on her though. 

On a separate note, his lack of experience doesn't mean his superhuman strength and caution is slipping from him lol. I honestly, with about 80% of my being, believe he wouldn't have lost the girl. Especially considering the (soon-to-be-dead) criminal inside had warned him about the number 7 Hero.

Also I'm not trying to be difficult. Just defending my actions.

EDIT: Now if you're ordering me to not try my best to take these heroes down for the sake of the story let me know. Cause if not, I fully intend on busting their shit while holding blondy as a hostage. Yoichi is a lot more ruthless than most would expect.
