Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht felt his energy surge inside his body like a tidal wave that was ferocious yet calm. For some reason, even though it was way stronger and more intense than before since he had made a huge leap in strength in a very short period of time, he could still fully control it. In fact, he felt as if his mastery over his own element made a huge leap too.

Now, he could feel his inner soul force even better and he could move it around efficiently with less effort and more speed.

So, after resolving himself, he started channeling the soul force while imitating the shadow in his head. Even though he could see the way the energy moved through the shadow figure's body, he couldn't do that first try since it was very complicated.

So, when three seconds passed, he felt pressure accumulating in his leg so he immediately stopped in his tracks.

It was extremely dangerous. The most dangerous thing Acht did in a sense. But, he had no plans to stop, in fact, he was now more resolved than ever to do it.

So, he took another deep breath and tried again. This time, the energy moved with a little more swiftness and fluidity, he didn't feel any pressure accumulating in any area of his body.

But, that didn't last that long as only 7 seconds later, the same mistake he did before came back and he had to immediately stop again.

'What did I do wrong? It somehow stops being swift abruptly without any reason.' He fell into deep thought.

It was apparent that he had some kind of flaw that he didn't see properly. So, he sat down and closed his eyes to have a better look at the shadow figure as it moved in a very particular manner.

Then, he tried to compare that to the way he did it to find where he made the mistake.

But, he couldn't find it immediately, so he kept watching it again and again and again. Each time, he could see himself having a better understanding of the way he should move.

'Wait…' he thought.

He saw something for a split second that made him stop the footage in his head and replay it like a tv recorder.

Then, when the moment he saw came, he stopped the image and watched the shadow figure carefully.

'He wasn't just making his body lose its gravity…but more of making his surroundings gravityless.'

He couldn't see it at first but now it made total sense. Making himself lose his gravity was way too hard to be done efficiently so the shadow wasn't actually controlling his own body but the area around it.

But it had one glaring flaw. It would consume a lot of soul force.

'I could deal with that if I get a ring like the one Scarlett gave me since this one is no longer useful anymore.'

He then stood up again to try. This time, he channeled his soul force with a little more power and then applied it on a very small area around him.

The gravity started disappearing slowly and Acht was starting to feel his legs lose their footing and hover in the air for a moment before touching the ground again.

'It's working!' he rejoiced in his head as he increased the energy consumption so that he could fully float.

'This is really draining me like a vampire. I won't be able to float for much so let's try something else.'

Then, he immediately bent forward and tried to move forward. This required him to keep on changing the gravityless area that he was in constantly to keep himself in the air.

Luckily, his body did indeed move forward for a meter or two.

Then, the energy he had been generating was almost emptied out so Acht had to stop. His body landed back on the ground safely.

'I can't do much with it like this. My level is too low.'

So, he put the matter of flying in the back of his head and looked at the other things he could do now.

There were so many ideas and such endless potential to his gift that he couldn't even know where to start.

'Let's take it one step at a time.' He thought to himself as he went back to experimenting and practicing his mastery over the gravity element.

There was not much time left before the expedition and he needed to get as strong as possible until that time.

****************************

A week passed quietly, Acht didn't leave his room much and kept practicing non-stop like a maniac. That may sound harmful rather than good but for him, it was a necessity. There was simply no time to waste dwindling around.

So, in the past 7 days, he saw an unimaginable growth that could make the best geniuses of that world look like a bunch of mediocre idiots.

He wasn't able to level up, however, he was able to reach a new height in his mastery over gravity.

Now, he could control objects with ease and make them move however he wanted without having to think much of the trajectory and the speed.

He also was able to learn new techniques that he was eager to try against monsters and see their lethality in combat.

In a nutshell, Acht just made another leap of strength that couldn't be possible in just one week.

But, that doesn't mean that he's now capable of facing A-Rank or even B-Rank monsters head to head without sustaining some heavy injuries let alone facing an S-Rank monster.

In normal circumstances, that makes him unqualified to go on the expedition since he was still not up to that level. But, he still would go just for the sake of gains he could get and also to see for himself what kind of things he would have to face in the future when he becomes strong enough.
