The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! Chapter 87: Try to beat gravity

During the first few minutes of holding up the gravity weights that kept getting heavier by the second, Alice almost lost her form.

That is... She wasn’t focused enough and her strength almost failed her, which would’ve caused her to collapse with the weight, but the. Leo said,

*Stay focused, Alice. You have to keep your head straight and focus on your arms.*

’Is this really the ti to be yapping at ?’

*Don’t start. Just do as I say or it’ll be a disaster.*

She decided to listen, focusing her mind on her arm, and as the weight increased, she increased her strength output.

’I honestly don’t know how this is helping control my strength.’ Alice thought to Leo after a few minutes passed.

*What do you think, dummy? You’re learning the output of your strength. If you’re conscious of how heavy and how fragile the material in your hand is, you’ll be able to minimize or maximize the output. Don’t you get that much? Or do you really have chicken for brains?*

’Hey, I like chicken but it doesn’t an I have it for brains.’

*Well, I’ll just be here to guide you.*

Alice would’ve rolled her eyes but they were closed. So, she just did as he told her to.

She focused her mind on her arms, the amount of output she let out gradually, and waited patiently. It got heavier, and she could feel pressure, but she was able to sweep it off just by adding a bit more strength to her arms and her feet.

It was going great and was even better compared to when she had been attacked by the demon.

That gravity spell was incredible and though she could not compare this to that, she was taking this like a breeze.

*The gravity is intensifying, Alice.*

’Yeah, I can see that. How long has it been? An hour? Two hours?’

*I don’t think it’s been that long.* Leo said. *Anyway, this blind play is very beneficial. But can you try to release more strength than this? You need to match the gravity or it will pull you down.*

’How else do you want to do that? I’m already giving out just enough to manage my stance and not fall over. What else do you want from ?’

*Try to beat gravity.*

’Huh? And how am I supposed to do that? Wait, wasn’t this about strength control? Why do you want to beat gravity?’ she asked. ’I think I got this under control so thank you very much. Let’s get this over with so I can catch so sleep.’

*You’re sleeping too much these days. Stop sleeping.*

’And why do you think I’ll listen to you on that? It’s my sleep, not yours. You log off anyti you feel like it, so why can’t I?’

*They’re not the sa thing. Instead of thinking of how to catch so more sleep, why don’t you start investigating the demon blood Big Stach ingested?*

’Ugh, for the love of... shit, there was still that going on? I totally forgot.’

*Well, it’s inevitable when the only two things you think about are food and sleep.*

’Ugh, why do we have to look into that anyway?’

*There’s an event later that will happen. I can’t tell you what it is, but I think it has sothing to do with this. I was never able to get the details but the symptoms of Big Stach reminded of it. If you can find out more about the circulating demon blood, you can avoid a major catastrophe.*

Alice gave it a thought. Once again, he was sending her on another errand. Ugh, she thought she would have enough ti to rest before the next calamity.

So, there were side plots after all.

*Well, the world didn’t end up destroyed just by the monsters. The humans had a hand in that.* Leo said.

’Uh, should you really be telling that?’ she asked him.

*It’s fine. Now, focus on your strength levels.*

’I’m already doing that, aren’t I?’

*Try to increase the output. I’m telling you this for your own good. You’ll thank later.*

’How am I supposed to thank you when I don’t know what you’re trying to achieve?’

*You’ll know once you do.* Leo said, still quite vague that it was ticking her off.

And at that ti, Mark asked,

"Alice, how are you doing?"

"Pretty tight but I’m alright." She answered.

*You’re doing great and haven’t even broken a sweat. How are you tight?* Alice furrowed her eyebrows.

"Will you shut it already?" She suddenly yelled, taking Mark aback. Was she referring to him?

*If you’re feeling tight then it should be your strength weakening. Strengthen your legs and arms, just like I’ve been telling you to.* This ticked Alice and she yelled once more.

"I said I know so shut it. You’re going to make look like I’m crazy."

And that was how we landed at the point where Mark concluded Alice was arguing with the voice in her head.

But what exactly were they arguing about? He wondered.

She looked very angry and he looked at the ground she was standing on. It looked like she would lose control.

"What are you trying to achieve, dammit!" Alice yelled and Mark said,

"Alice, please calm down."

He did not know why she was so annoyed or what her conversation with the voice in her head was, but he knew that if she lost control, coupled with the intense gravity, the ground underneath her would definitely break, and she would fall.

And worse... She could destroy the entire floor with them in it.

"Leo, you’re hiding sothing. What are you trying to make do?" Alice asked and Leo raged at her.

*Your gravity skill, idiot! I’m trying to help you acquire it, you stubborn, crazy, and overbearing brat. This is the only way to acquire that skill, so quit complaining and do as I say!*
