Sakura pushed herself up from the floor.
Her arms throbbed with pain, a sharp pulse running through the cracked bones.
Dust clung to her clothes.
Her hair fell loosely around her face.
But her gaze—
Turned colder.
Much colder.
She slowly raised her head and locked eyes with Julia.
"You fucking bitch," Sakura hissed.
Her voice dripped with venom.
Before the pain could spread further, the red-haired woman beside her stepped forward.
Vamina's expression hardened.
She raised her wand without hesitation, murmuring under her breath.
A soft, pale light flared at the tip of her wand—
Then split into several streaks of glowing energy that wrapped around Sakura's arms and torso.
The light seeped into Sakura's body.
Bones realigned.
Cracks closed.
Bruises faded in seconds.
In an instant—
Her injuries were almost completely healed.
Sakura flexed her fingers once, feeling her strength return.
Then—
In the very next second—
A bow materialized in her hand.
