"We have no other choice but to become monsters ourselves!"
Such a high and mighty phrase. Mere step away from the cringe.
But cringe was a concept developed in the modern world when the use of bombastic phases saturated.
In this world, speeches like the one I just gave were still treated seriously.
'At least I got through the worst part,' I thought, putting my focus back on the situation.
I couldn't be drowning down in my thoughts while in the middle of everyone's attention, could I?
"As much as you guys might hate it, right now, we need to all step up our game."
I spread out my arms open before giving the crowd a small, troubled smile.
"I know that all of you would like nothing more than to recover your powers. But that will have to wait. Right now, I need all of you to do what you are best at." I took a step forward only to stand down right away.
Ols is back, boys! For longer or shorter, we will see.
I guess I needed a whip above my ass to get back to it. Maybe I'm an M?
Anyway, four more chapters to come today, I hope at least 1/day from tomorrow on!
