Today really wasn't my lucky day, first I met Rei with whom I challenged, and although she lost, she put a collar on me which was also very dangerous for me, but I'll look for a way to remove it from my neck.
Kamisora Reo { Sakura, do you know if there's a way to remove the collar Rei put on me? Can you find a way to loosen or lessen the effect of the 500 ton increase? }
[Reo I can't help you take off the collar but I can reduce the effect of gaining weight from 500 to 50, would you like to?]
Kamisora Reo {although I can't take it off it's better than nothing, thanks Sakura}
He felt the black collar, made of an unknown material, changing and the energy inside stopped and was suppressed by another unknown energy which I think is due to Sakura.
Having fixed this situation, I finished most of the exercises that had been assigned by Rei, for about an hour, if it weren't for this collar I would have been able to finish them in a few minutes, too bad.
Subaru Konoe "Reo are you okay? Can you hold all that weight of tons?" she said as she finished the exercise too
Kamisora Reo "I somehow managed to complete almost all the tasks given by Rei, but as I thought it was much more difficult compared to when I wasn't limited by this gravity collar" I said with a sigh
The companions, seeing that I had finished before them despite a colossal difference, were all surprised, but even so there were children who admired me for my feat and others who were envious, but in the end I didn't care that much.
Since I had finished stretching I went to Izumi to wait for everyone to finish doing their part so that I could finish the swim which I had left for last.
Kamisora Reo "Izumi-sensei I finished almost all the exercises Rei gave me" I said as she was surprised and on the other side was Rei who also stared at me in surprise without letting anyone notice
Rei "ok, since you finished early, you'll go directly to the pool to do a few laps to consume the time before everyone finishes doing the remaining bending and stretching" she said
I didn't say anything to Rei because I was still angry about what she had done to me, although it won't change anything even if I remain resentful in front of her, in fact she might do something else to me that will make me more uncomfortable.
Kamisora Reo "ok Rei-Sensei, I still don't know why you did this to me" I said pointing to the collar and looking straight into her light blue eyes
Rei "Didn't I already say it was your compensation for beating me? And then this gravity collar could help you to become stronger and be able to increase your power in no time at all, don't worry because I know how to limit myself in these things and if you really can't do it, then I will free you from your collar, even if this will prove that you are notthen too loud and you're a weakling," he said as he chuckled as always
It was evident that he aimed at me not being able to stay with this collar for a while so as to admit that he is a weakling who cannot cope with his own difficulties
But even so, in my opinion, one must also be able to accept that one is unable to do something, that one does not exaggerate in an attempt to do that thing only to demonstrate that one is a man or something else, for me it is enough to be able to feel good and nothing moreover.
Maybe I'm not like those warriors of the way of the sword but that's not why I'm inferior to them, I'll try to overcome them and reach the peak of my limit to be able to affirm that I've committed myself as best I could.
Kamisora Reo " there is no need for me to show if I am capable of doing something or not and this goes for everyone, but I will do it because I don't want to consider myself one who gives up before trying " I said with conviction and determination looking into her eyes
She was surprised but even so her mood didn't change, so me Konoe, Hikari and Hayami went directly to the school swimming pool to finish our exercises.
We all changed quickly and were all in line waiting for Izumi-sensei and Rei.
Izumi "ok now that everyone is ready first we'll do two vas- "
Rei "we'll do twenty laps of freestyle and then fifty of free choice" she said looking at me triumphantly
Hikari " I can't accept that Rei-Sensei does these repetition things, he has already given Reo difficulties and then from these tasks that are difficult even for us geniuses, at least show moderation towards Reo " he said trying to defend me and also helping the other companions classy
Subaru Konoe " true Hikari-San, I can't accept that someone is treated like this especially my friends!" he said supporting Hikari's words
What they said moved me a lot, but even so I knew that Rei would never agree to let go of the hard workouts and especially on me.
Rei " ohoho! So there is also someone who wants to suffer the same fate as your friend Reo? " she said looking into their eyes and in a deep voice to put them under pressure
I wanted to act but Izumi blocked my way and looked at me with a serious look to indicate that Rei shouldn't be provoked, but even so I couldn't stand by and watch my friends who tried to defend me, be wronged because of me.
Subaru Konoe "even if you say so I won't back down!" he said moving me deeply
Rei "uhm ok then let's have a swimming race and whoever wins can make a request, what do you think?" she said looking in my direction
Kamisora Reo "ok I'm in, I'll compete against you and then beat you" I said while diving into the pool
Not waiting for anything else I got into starting position, after a few seconds Rei got into position too and then Izumi started.
I immediately went full power but even so it was clear that I wasn't as good at swimming as Rei because I never tried to learn to swim even though I lived on an island.
After a few dives on the back I managed to catch up with Rei but when I was about to turn to push myself off and start again, I felt my foot hurt.
Subaru Konoe "Reo!!!" she cried in amazement and concern for me
Hayami "even if I don't like Reo I have to admit that I don't like Rei even more, especially for what she has done now" she said disappointed by Rei's childish behavior and Izumi-sensei who was next to Hayami was embarrassed by her behavior
What had happened was that Rei pounded my right leg hard with a spell that created a flow of freezing current that froze my leg and stopped my movement.
Kamisora Reo " you! " with difficulty I understood that if I wanted to win against her I had to do everything, even if that meant using my power
So I used the power of my magic that I had acquired in the Mutant world, [Magia Della Porta] which allows me to move to the space where I have been or which is in my field of vision.
So using it in the water, a black door appeared and sucked me in and then I appeared directly at the finish line, thus winning, everyone saw my actions and was surprised but also happy.
Rei "t-you baron!! You can't cheat!" she said shamelessly and without restraint
Hearing what Rei said, everyone including me was shocked we didn't know how to react or how to deal with the embarrassing situation.
Hikari "you lost Rei-Sensei, now you will have to grant our wish!" he said breaking the ice
Hearing what Hikari had said, Rei sighed and surprisingly admitted her defeat, in fact, she laughed with happiness and walked out of the pool.
Rei "ok ok you won, tell me what would you like as a wish for your victory Reo?" he said looking at me
I didn't know what to decide, I could have my collar removed but then my companions would still have suffered the hard training from him, but in the same way if I helped my companions I would stay with this collar on my neck.
Thinking about it, even if I asked to take off my collar, it would probably make my school life worse and worse, while if I help my classmates at least they will be safe from Rei.
Kamisora Reo "Rei I want you to not give too difficult exercises to my classmates anymore, this is what I ask you" I said while Hayami was surprised
Rei "Are you sure Reo? If you want I can take off your collar" she said tempting me
Kamisora Reo "I know that if you take it away from me you will do worse things to me, I might as well help my comrades and save them from your hands and actions" I said
Rei "That's true too....then ok I'll grant your wish. You're the first person that made me so curious, hahaha" she said disappearing into thin air and leaving Izumi-sensei shocked for some reason while us students made us surprised that he could use the power of space
Kamisora Reo { Sakura when Rei disappeared she used the power of space, can you tell me how much control she has over the power of space? }
[Okay Reo]
********
[Rei]
[Spatial Control: 100%]
********
Kamisora Reo { w-what!! How can he have 100% control?!!! Sakura can you tell me how she has 100% control?, didn't you say that a human could control 5% and that was her best!? }
[True Reo, but I remind you that she is much stronger than anyone on earth and her body has reached a monstrous level, I can't say more for special reasons but rest assured that you too will reach or even surpass her]
I was shocked many times today but this is the thing that struck me the most, I don't know what will be in the future but one thing is for sure that I will not be less than her in the future.
