Chapter 721 Growing Fatigue
Chapter 721 Growing Fatigue
Mark hummed with a small smile as Louise spoke and he raised his hand together with Louise. Mark activated the innate skill of his Full Body Constitution.
[Storm Chaser] had been activated!
The sky above Mark darkened as streaks of blue lightning began to congregate over the Seine River! Louise laughed in excitement as he also activated his blessing and created hundreds of liquid spikes that floated in the air above him!
But when Louise looked up at Mark, it was impossible for Louise to not notice the lack of any real excitement in Mark's eyes. Mark was smiling and if you hadn't been around him a lot, you would never notice, but there was a silent detachment in Mark's gaze, and as someone who was very in touch with his emotions, Louise could easily identify exactly what it was that Mark was feeling at that moment.
Mark was bored.
BZZZTTT!!
Rumble~! Rumble~! Rumble~!
The sky above the boat rumbled as the lightning was finally charged up for an attack and Louise got his head back in the game as he realized he was spacing out, and at the next moment, they unleashed hell upon the anima!
...
[The Superhuman Alliance Building.]
Henry spoke up from the head of the long table.
"Miss Luna, it's been a while since we last met. It's always a pleasure. I take it you came here along with Mr. Vanitas?"
Luna ignored Henry and went to take a seat at the edge of the table on the right side of where Mark would be sitting before she spoke.
"Mark isn't here yet. Get me a coffee, please. I haven't slept in days."
Henry frowned and turned to look at George, who was standing at the door when Luna said that Mark was not yet there. George felt a bead of sweat rolling down his shirt as he nervously shook his head. Henry took in a deep breath and released it calmly to reduce his anger before he spoke.
"And did Mr. Vanitas tell you when he would be arriving?"
"No, he didn't, Henry. I am not in the best mood right now. Please stop asking me questions."
Luna turned to give Henry a hard look, and Henry felt some pressure from Luna's stare that felt heavier than ever before. Henry had once been far stronger than Luna was. With a high potential and a good training regime, Henry was able to become the strongest superhuman in America faster than almost anyone else and worked his way up to the director position in the Superhuman Alliance, but all that changed when Luna actually started to put effort into her training and her desire to get stronger was awakened.
The only reason why Luna was holding herself back before was because she didn't want to be isolated like she had once been before, but now, Luna had a new resolution. Luna did not want to be left behind by Mark, so she was training hard every day to try and keep up with Mark's insane growth rate. It wasn't working as well as Luna hoped it would since Mark just grew far too fast, but she was able to get far stronger than anyone else around her in the process.
Now, Luna was so much stronger than Henry that just a regular stare from her was enough to subdue his anger.
Henry sat back with a sigh before he turned to George and told him to order some coffee for Luna. Luna thanked George softly as she folded her hands and crossed her legs while bowing her head. It almost seemed like she was sleeping, but Luna was just trying to get some of her energy back after the long plane ride.
