Chapter 107: Proselyte
n. a person who has changed from one opinion or the like to another.
Disclaimer: I do not own that which belongs to another.
Baki was a Ninja, and he habitually laid his emotions aside in order to efficiently assess all situations. Morals and feelings weren't a productive part of decision making and hindered the acquisition of the best solutions.
Despite his time honed mindset, Baki couldn't entirely rule out the fondness he held for the girl before him. Perhaps if he was a better Ninja he might have been able to overlook the widening of her eyes in sincerity or the slump of her shoulders in defeat; but he wasn't the better Ninja and so he allowed himself to be swayed, this time.
