Sighs.... i really do hate my life...:3



Chuuya reflexively turned to the driver.

Almost simultaneously, the mailman smiles thinly, ramming the accel. The car shoots forward like a bullet.

The force pushes Chuuya against the seat.

“You bastard……”

“Put your seatbelt on. You’re going to bite your tongue.”

The man, still driving, speaks in a casual voice.

“Stop the car!”

Chuuya yells, and releases his right fist to grab at the handle. Chuuya’s fists are at the speed of a diving sparrow. Normal human beings wouldn’t even be able to follow them with their eyes. However—- this man was different. Faster than Chuuya’s fist could land, a countering hit slammed into Chuuya’s jaw.

“Gh-”

Chuuya’s torso flew backwards, and his head crashes against the back window. Countless white cracks run across the glass panels.

“Whoa, sorry.” The man is still driving with one hand on the wheel. “You’re lighter than I thought. Are you eating properly? I worry, as your older brother.”

“You bastard……!”

Chuuya’s figure burns in anger.

In less than one second he wakes his posture; and like a deflected ball, his fist flies to attack. A right hook, with every ounce of power in his upper body. An attack weighted with the gravity of immense steel and the murderous aura of a guillotine, surges toward the man. The speed from before, doesn’t even compare.

The man grasps the fist with a single hand. As if he was catching a baseball.

“What……”

“This is light, too.” The man’s sight never wavers from the road. “At this rate, you’re going to be murdered easily.”

The man had stopped his strongest hit, one that would wreck a concrete pillar—– but, Chuuya smiles.

“Is that so. Then you must be pretty heavy, aren’t you?”

The next moment.

The man sinks into his seat.

“Wha-”

His body keeps sinking. As if swallowed by a swamp. The seat of steel and leather fail to withstand the intense gravity. The metal screams as it deforms and flattens. Parts fly out.

From the hand that stopped Chuuya’s fist, waves of gravity spread, swallowing the man,

Drawn by the high gravity, the man’s sunglasses fall off and crash onto the floor. Instead of bouncing off the bottom of the car, the glasses stick into the floor and crumble.

The car groans in response to the man’s weight, which had increased tenfold.

“Who the fuck would get killed by you. Stay there and get crushed.”

Chuuya doesn’t loosen his ability. He increases the gravity even more. Double, then double, then double.

But—- in one moment, Chuuya’s eyes narrow in confusion.

“What……?”

He doesn’t get heavier.

His weight stays the same.

From Chuuya’s fist, more waves of gravity are released. But the seat stays quiet. It doesn’t deform any further.

“Is that it?”
