Chapter 246: High-Level Tool Person Discovered!
"Eh? You mean, if I really intended for something to happen between us, you would accept it!?"
Luke's answer actually made Nene freeze for a moment.
She had always pretended to be 'battle-hardened,' and even leaked gossip about her promiscuous private life to the public; partly because she wasn't that confident in her own figure.
Although she didn't particularly care, watching her close friend from the same generation, Shinguuji Kurono, get married and have children, it was impossible to say she hadn't thought about it at all.
So his words made her feel slightly surprised.
However...
After not hearing her reply, Luke looked her up and down, then shook his head with a trace of apology and said:
"Sorry... I probably wouldn't be able to bring myself to do it..."
Anger!
Nene's face instantly darkened, and at the same time, a tremendous force pressed down on Luke's body in an instant.
"I don't need your apology... Hmm? Oya? This is quite a surprise..."
Feeling like she had been 'teased,' Nene angrily intended to use her ability to slightly scare the boy.
But upon seeing his reaction, she astonishingly tossed her anger to the back of her mind.
Feeling the sudden increase of gravity on his body, Luke stretched his body and adapted to the environmental change in less than a few seconds.
At the same time, he also recalled Saikyo Nene's ability.
A Nature Interference-type that manipulates 'gravity'.
Luke had once experienced the feeling of increased gravity in the Main God Space.
After his Agent rank was promoted to B, the environmental simulation function of the training grounds in the Main God Space had been unlocked.
Although it could only simulate a maximum of 2 times the gravity effect, it was enough for him to adapt to an environment with increased gravity.
Although Nene was angry, she wouldn't go so far as to attack without a sense of proportion.
Considering that he still had a match to fight next, the gravity she set was only about 1.2 times, and her goal was simply to make the boy make a fool of himself to soothe her hurt maidenly heart.
However, Luke had already experienced this level of gravity, so naturally, it failed to have any effect.
"As expected of a genius from a major power, have you experienced a similar ability before?"
Nene asked him with some curiosity.
While asking, she continued to increase the magnitude of the gravity.
"You could say that. I have exercised for a period of time in an environment with up to 2 times gravity."
Unlike Nene's surprised expression, Luke's expression at this moment could be said to be very exciting, because he suddenly realized her usefulness.
With his eyes shining, he stared at the loli teacher and asked, "Nene-sensei, how many times can you raise your gravity to at most?"
Luke's suddenly changed attitude and excited tone made Nene feel somewhat creeped out.
She unconsciously took a half-step back, and answered with a trace of imperceptible timidity.
"I-I'm not too sure either..."
"Because my ability's effect is too strong, and I'm not very good at magic control, so I don't really know the exact numbers myself."
"Well... ten times or a hundred times should be doable... right?"
Towards the end, even Nene herself became unsure.
But compared to this matter, she was more concerned about Luke's change.
The reason she had been harassing him these past few days was, on one hand, because she was interested in this little monster invited by her master.
On the other hand, it was because she was very surprised by his consistently calm expression and mentality.
This state didn't look like something a teenager could achieve no matter what.
That was why Nene tried every possible means to tease the boy, just to see under what circumstances he would show a large emotional fluctuation.
And now Luke's emotions were showing a violent fluctuation.
Although this was what she wanted to see, combined with the current situation, Nene couldn't bring herself to be happy no matter what.
'Why does being crushed by gravity make him so happy?!'
'Wah, his gaze suddenly became passionate...'
'Could he be...?!?!'
At this moment, Luke had absolutely no mind to care about what the loli teacher was thinking. The instant he heard the other party say 'ten times or a hundred times', only one thought remained in his heart.
'Higher-level gravity training!'
There were quite a lot of examples of anime characters getting rapidly stronger through high gravity training, and Luke had also considered this issue.
But the Main God Space could currently only provide a maximum of a two times gravity environment.
For Luke, who possessed Falna, two times gravity was truly just better than nothing.
But now it was different.
In front of him was a perfect tool person who could provide 'ten times or a hundred times' gravity conditions!
'I absolutely cannot let her run away!'
Luke made up his mind, looked at Nene with a resolute gaze, and then fiercely strode over, saying at the same time:
"Nene-sensei, I have a request. Please, you must agree to it no matter what!"
However, the boy's actions startled Nene into a shiver.
Nene watched as Luke, resisting the gravity she had gradually increased to 2 times, advanced with unwavering steps, and was 'excitedly' looking at her with a 'scorching' gaze.
Panicking, she immediately took a large step back, shouting at the boy at the same time:
"Y-Y-You, don't come over here!"
Boom—!
A tremendous force instantly pinned Luke dead in his tracks.
Feeling the gravity pressing on his body, Luke smiled.
He knew that he wouldn't need to worry about how to get stronger for a short period of time.
Just at this moment, Kurono, who had rushed over at top speed after sensing Nene's suddenly erupting magic power, ran out from around the corner.
"Nene! What happen... ed...?"
"..."
What appeared in front of Kurono was a bizarre scene.
A smiling young man was happily and slowly approaching a timid little loli, step by step.
Next to them was a staff member, caught in the crossfire of their auras, shrinking into a corner acting as a 'melon-eating bystander'.
Completely unable to understand the current situation, Kurono, her face full of conflicted emotions, first looked at Luke, and then at her friend.
Finally, she turned around and walked back behind the corner.
"...I wish you two happiness."
"Waaah, Kuro-chan, don't go! A-A pervert is attacking me! This is your student, right? Hurry up and help me deal with him! It's not convenient for me to fight inside a building!"
"I refuse. What's wrong with a pervert being attacked by a pervert? Either way, it will reduce the number of perverts by one. No matter how you look at it, it's something beneficial to the whole world."
Although she said that verbally, Kurono still walked back.
No matter what, she couldn't let the two of them start 'fighting' here.
Setting aside the matter of victory or defeat, if Nene really got serious, Hagun Academy could be erased from the records after today.
"So, why did you two start fighting?"
"Luke still has a match next. If his condition is affected... Nene, you will have to take full responsibility."
"Wah, so mean! Kuro-chan, you actually took his side right from the start! I'm obviously your best friend, right!"
Hearing Nene's complaints, Kurono shot her a disdainful glance and then said:
"There are no perverts on my friend list."
"Anyway, I can guess without even being told. This whole thing definitely started with you seducing Luke first, didn't it?"
Shock!
Nene, having the truth hit right on the nail by Kurono, instantly settled down.
"Good grief, I knew it was your doing, perverted loli."
