Does gravity make me stronger?

'Hachiman, you've really been getting tired of this!'

Chihaya Aine looked at him happily, then held his hand tightly.

----Cut line----

After looking closely, Aine's breasts are indeed not big enough, but you're not allowed to say that about my Aine-chan, Angry Meow!

Sunlight streamed through the half-drawn curtains, casting its glow on the pale yellow walls. The bedroom, filled with the fragrance of flowers, was piled high with various plush toys.

On the pale pink bed, Chihaya Aine slowly sat up and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Last night, she had a very special dream, so special that she probably will never forget it for the rest of her life.

The story in the dream was very simple: she returned to her high school where she studied abroad, met two girls she wasn't very familiar with, played a game, and the dream ended with the two girls having a big argument.

It was a magical dream.

However, in the dream, a boy who shouldn't have appeared appeared.

Hikigaya Hachiman.

In my dream, he was just as awkward and aloof as in reality, but he was much more handsome.

Just like Prince Charming.

Chihaya Aine hopes that she can become the princess who is awakened by a kiss.

The other party really did it.

At least in his dreams, he saved his cowardly self.

When she woke up, the dream was a little blurry, but she remembered every word the boy said clearly, as if it were engraved in her mind.

The dream began inexplicably.

But the ending of the dream was somewhat romantic.

If only I could never wake up from this dream.

But a dream is just a dream, and a fairy tale is just a fairy tale.

Chihaya Aine understood that the man in her dream was merely a projection of her inner weakness, a beautiful wish to redeem herself from the stain on her student life.

but.

In reality, can't I try my best too?

Chihaya Aine changed into her Haneoka Academy uniform, stood in front of the full-length mirror, and struck a few vain poses.

"Hmm, actually I'm quite good-looking too?"

Then, with great enthusiasm, he picked up his schoolbag and embarked on the road he had walked countless times before, but which had become fresh because of a dream.

...

Across the ocean, a young girl suddenly woke up from her desk.

She looked around in a daze, and after a while, she ran out of the classroom in a panic and rushed back to her dormitory.

Her roommate also left the classroom at the same time.

The two met at the dormitory entrance. Because of the dream they had just had, the trust between them had been completely eroded. But it was also a dream that led them to still fantasize about the subtle possibility of misunderstanding each other.

So the two walked into the room side by side.

then.

One person found a pair of clean sneakers in the washing machine, while another found signs of ransacking in their closet.

And so.

From this small dormitory room came screams comparable to the Big Bang.

...

At the entrance of Class 1-C at Haneoka Academy, Hachiman felt unusually heavy-headed because he had stayed up all night the night before.

Upon entering.

[Congratulations, host, for significantly reducing your gravity level.]

[Reward: Random Ability Roulette *1]

The simple and unpretentious reward was like a clear spring, nourishing Hachiman's parched soul.

Without hesitation, he started the roulette wheel.

Congratulations on acquiring the ability: Synchronization

[Ability Description: Binds to a specified object. When the specified object acquires an ability (including skills, knowledge, etc.), there is a chance to simultaneously acquire the corresponding ability. The success rate of synchronization automatically adapts to the other party's gravity value. Usage: 1 time/1 week]

This has never been such a wonderful start. Cheers to me! Celebrate me!

Hachiman's eyes widened instantly, the drowsiness from staying up all night vanished, replaced by appreciation and admiration for the new ability.

Good system, you've finally shown some conscience for once.

As you can see, Hachiman has long possessed great abilities.

That damn memory reading and mind reading technology, while convenient, isn't powerful enough. A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?!

Seeing this ability today is like seeing the sun after the clouds have parted, and it has enlightened me!

After all, which boy hasn't dreamed of traveling the world with a sword?

However, after carefully reading the introduction to the synchronization ability, Hachiman had a few doubts.

First, this synchronization can only be used once a week, which means that you can only bind to the same object within a week, and you have to wait until the following week to unbind it.

This naturally leads to a problem: if the bound person slacks off and does nothing all week, wouldn't the synchronization ability be completely useless?

【Yes】

walk slowly.

It seems that Jiu should carefully select her partner before binding herself to someone. She shouldn't be a well-rounded, all-around warrior who excels in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, because an all-around warrior means there's little room for improvement.

We need to find people who have great potential for improvement in all aspects and who have a strong desire to learn.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, we still need to find someone to review the papers.

In addition, the synchronization effect also depends on the gravity value.

In other words, the lower the other party's gravity value, the higher the probability of synchronization?

[Incorrect, gravity value and success probability are positively correlated.]

All right...

Hachiman has a big head.

It is well known that people with high gravity values ​​are almost always emotionally unstable or in a depressed state.

In this situation, would it be too inhumane to expect the other party to still be in the mood to get involved?

The only possibility that Hachiman could imagine was that a boy was dumped by his crush with the promise of "I'll marry you if you get into Tokyo University," and then studied hard to redeem himself.

But people like that are so hard to find...

Given the two factors mentioned above, Hachiman needs to carefully decide on the person he'll be paired with.

By the way, what are the conditions for binding? Does it require direct contact?

This is an important matter. Last night, it was because we neglected the conditions for activating the ability that the two unlucky guys fell into the illusion of a mirage.

We can't afford to make a fool of ourselves this time.

Yes, you need to have physical contact with the other person, but not close contact; touching their clothes or something is fine.

That would be convenient.

The conditions are limited, but not harsh at all, and there's still a lot of fun to be had.

For example, although Hachiman can't bind to those big shots, he can synchronize with a certain person in his circle and then sit back and wait for his abilities to be synchronized, easily enjoying a Sigma life.

and so.

Urgent! Where can I find futuristic warriors?!

Upon entering the classroom, he activated his senses to the fullest and began frantically observing his surroundings.

33-> 7

Chihaya Aine.

42-> 44

Takamatsu lamp.

Chihaya Aine's gravity has returned to normal. Although it's uncertain whether she has overcome the psychological trauma from her time studying abroad, at least her emotions are relatively stable for now.

As for the Takamatsu lamp, this level of gravity is already the norm; you'll get used to it.

Before Hachiman could even sit down, Chihaya Aine came over and casually slammed a glass of strawberry milk on the table.

"?"

Meeting Hachiman's puzzled gaze, Chihaya Aine explained, "Didn't Hachiman introduce Pochi-chan to me before? This is my return gift."

You'd better talk about this.

Don't say anything!

Hachiman isn't completely clueless; after what happened last night, he's actually a little worried that Aine's friendship with him might be compromised.

It seems alright now.

"Ah, oh."

Hachiman accepted the gift without any qualms.

"...Um, is there anything else?"

Seeing that Chihaya Aine was still not leaving, Hachiman asked again.

"No, I just wanted to see Hachiman... Hmm, he's not as handsome as I dreamed of him."

[Fine, fine, you were just showing off your little pearls a moment ago, and now you're turning around and belittling your brother Hachiman. Woman, huh.]

Ignoring the system's sarcastic remarks, Hachiman tilted his head and calmly asked, "A dream?"

"It's nothing, I just had a dream last night that Hachiman appeared in it!"

"So what is my role? Like the roadside weeds and wildflowers?"

"No, if I had to say, maybe it's a hero?"

At this point, Chihaya Aine's face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "Hachigaya-kun, I have a request, I wonder if you could help me..."

"If it's not too much trouble."

"Hoo." Chihaya Aine took a deep breath, her gray eyes filled with unease and tension.

"Can we be friends?"

Now it was Hachiman's turn to be shy. He stammered, "...Well, weren't we already friends?"

"Ugh?"

Unexpectedly, Aine was momentarily stunned to gain her friend's approval so easily from Hachiman's mouth, but quickly came to her senses.

"Great! I'm friends with Hachiman now!"

Gently!

She paid no attention to the volume of her voice, and her happy words spread throughout the classroom, attracting the attention of the other students.

Several girls walked over curiously.

"Hey, Aine-chan, what's wrong? What's making you happy?"

"Hmph, I'm friends with Hachiman now." Aine puffed out her chest, looking rather smug.

“Hachiman…” One of the girls pondered for a moment, then looked at Hachiman, who promptly avoided her gaze.
