Chapter 138 Gravity Training!
138 Gravity Training!
"Yes, in this training, I am going to use a spell of mine called 'Gravity'."
As soon as she heard the spell's name, Alicia's face had a look of realization. "Will we train under a higher gravitational pressure?"
When he heard her guess correctly, Luis nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed, I am going to increase the gravitational pressure in which we will live and train every day from now on."
Although Alicia was amazed that Luis still had such a wonderful spell with him. This also made her concerned. So, she asked worriedly, "But Luis, what about your mana consumption? Will you be okay leaving that spell activated the entire time?"
"Don't worry, it's fine. Gravity spell's mana consumption is proportional to the pressure. In the beginning, I will increase the gravitational pressure by only a few times. Moreover, the affected area will be limited to our bodies, so the consumption isn't much. With my current mana, I can keep that spell active at 5 times the gravity for at least 3 days. Given my mana recovery speed. This much is nothing." Luis said with a shrug.
Alicia nodded in understanding, and with his words of assurance, she wasn't worried anymore.

"Gravity!"
When Luis used his spell on her. Alicia felt her body becoming heavier and her movements became a little sluggish. Maybe because Alicia was an E-rank, the 1.5 times gravity wasn't much pressure for her.
"It's amazing…" Alicia mumbled in amazement, then she requested. "Luis, could you please increase the pressure to 3 times?"
"You sure?" Luis asked, not surprised by her request.
"I want to experience it," Alicia said firmly.
"Sure, if that's what you want." Saying that, he increased the gravitational pressure around her from 1.5 to 3 times.
"Uhm." Alicia immediately felt the difference. It's not that the pressure was unbearable for her, but being under this level of pressure constantly would undeniably be quite uncomfortable for her.
She tried lifting the 30 kg weights and was surprised to find that they were much heavier than usual.
Seeing her actions, Luis on the side reminded her. "You are now living in 3 times the normal gravity of this planet, so for you, the weight of the items that you will carry will also be thrice their usual weight."
"Ah!" Alicia exclaimed in realization. Then uttered with an excited smile, "If that's the case, then it's even better."
Thinking of something, Alicia turned to look at Luis and asked curiously. "What level of pressure will you train under, Luis?"
"Me?" Luis pointed at himself, then answered casually, "5 times."
Alicia was silent for a few seconds, then she said, "… I'll break through to D rank soon, then I will practice under 5 times gravity too."
"Good!" Luis said with a smile, then suggested, "Now, shall we start?"
"Um." Alicia nodded.
Then, for the next few hours, Luis at 5 times gravity and Alicia at 3 times gravity trained in Luis' private gym until they were exhausted to the limit. Now the two of them lay on the floor with almost no strength to move anymore.
"*Hah*… *Hah*… even if the growth is fast… *Hah*… The difficulty of training… *Hah*… has also increased a lot," Alicia said while breathing heavily.
Luis just answered with a 'hmm' as he rested with closed eyes. Two minutes later, under Alicia's surprised eyes, Luis stood up on his feet.
"… Aren't you tired?" Alicia asked because she didn't see him taking a recovery potion.
"Well, I still am," Luis said with a tired sigh, then continued. "But don't forget, I have a 'Recovery Skill' as well."
"Oh, right," Alicia mumbled, then closed her eyes to rest.
Luis looked at her for a bit and asked, "Need me to bring you a Recovery Potion?"
With her eyes still closed, Alicia replied, "No need. I have them with me. I just want to try and see if I could increase my natural recovery speed under the 3 times gravity training."
"Oh, natural recovery, huh?" Luis said with a faint smile as he thought inwardly, 'Once your bloodline awakens, your natural recovery speed will be one of your most terrifying aspects.'
But even if that were the case, since she was trying, he wouldn't stop her actions. After all, there may be some unexpected gains. 'Like her triggering her bloodline awakening?' As soon as he thought of this, Luis shook his head in dismissal. 'If only it were that easy.'
Giving another glance at her figure, Luis smirked and said, "Whether it's sleeping or classes, from this day on, we will be living under this pressure 24/7. So, get used to it fast, then I'll increase the pressure."
Alicia opened her eyes and said with slight annoyance. "Yeah, I know. Now just let me rest, okay?"
Luis continued looking at her without speaking, and after a moment he crouched down and picked her up in a bridal carry.
"Wha-wha?!" Alicia opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise. A blush appeared on her face, and before she could say anything, she heard his question.
"Shall I carry you to the bed, so you can rest there?"
Alicia's lips twitched as she complained, "That is something you should ask before picking me up!"
Luis showed an innocent expression and said with a shrug, "I am just being efficient."
Alicia was speechless by Luis' acting, but she was too tired to continue arguing. So, she just uttered with a sigh. "Whatever… Just don't try to take advantage of this situation. Or else I'll freeze you once I am recovered." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Don't worry, I only wanted to carry you to bed so that you could have a proper rest. As an upright gentleman, those shameless acts of taking advantage are beneath me." Luis said very sincerely and his hand, which was about to rub her thigh, paused immediately.
Alicia scoffed at his words and didn't say anything about it.
After gently placing her on the bed, Luis went to take a shower.
When he came out, he saw that Alicia had already fallen asleep, so he tapped on his mana bracelet and said, "Lily, if Alicia wakes up before I come back. Tell her that I went out for a bit."
{Yes, Master~}

As he left his flat, Luis thought with a smile, 'Now it's time to make use of those Merit Points.'
