ankle shot

A number of gunshots rang through the air towards him.
Even though these gunshots were from blanks, the blasts of air were effective at
suppressing the rioters. With one blast, the car’s windows shattered and the metal door
bent in.

As he rolled along the ground, the powered suit quietly aimed its anti-barrier shotgun at
him while it was still surrounded by flames.
The area he was in simply had a line of cliff-like buildings on either side of the narrow
street. Tsuchimikado tried to get behind a building at a street corner, but the powered
suit was faster. The blast of air that came with the gunshot hit Tsuchimikado’s feet.
He fell as if he had been tripped.
Crawling, he somehow managed to get around the corner.
(Gh...Ahhhh!?)
When he looked at his ankle, it was badly bruised. Somehow the bone hadn’t been
broken, but his movements were restricted nonetheless.
