First Encounter

"Are you okay?" I asked Shao Mi.

She was struggling to stand up, but the pressure weighed heavily on her

Particles of light began to form around her body, revealing the tremendous effort she was exerting to prevent herself from face-planting onto the floor. 

I could understand her frustration. 

This place felt as if we had just stepped into a gravity chamber used for training 

The gravity had magnified our weight by 2000 times. 

While I remained relatively unaffected, Shao Mi, accustomed to relying on her powers, found it particularly challenging due to her lesser physical strength. 

"Here" I offered her my hand.

"Don't... just focus on finding the culprit. They might attack us if you give them an opening," she answered, her voice strained with effort. 

Why was she so stubborn? 

I was just planning to apply some anti-gravity aura to her body to make it lighter. It wouldn't even be a bother at all.
