Chapter 71 "IT" Descends Again
"Plot a course; my first move should be increasing my Rank Potential, followed by my Resistances, then I need to figure out how long I was unconscious; if it wasn't too long, I don't need to worry about Glacia right now, and can instead work on my situation first." Working his way through several calisthenic exercises to keep his blood flowing in a weak attempt to warm up, Aoni made a small checklist while keeping an eye on his Traveler's Display.
"Last time, foo, my Rank was too high to upgrade, yet my Attribute Potential cost me 25 points with a 5-point bonus," in the middle of jumping jacks, the Lad analyzed his situation while trying to figure out the cost of his next upgrade.
'Based on how things are turning out with my other statistics, I can only assume that the upgrade will cost me 50 points with a 10-point return. Care to chime in?' Swapping back to his internal monologue, Aoni asked for his Attribute Notice's input, and sure enough...
| Potential: Rank: F-:? F:? F+:? |
'This piece of shit still won't give me answers...well, if it didn't get replaced, that means it won't be 50 points.' Huffing out a cold blast of air, the Lad, left with no other option for gathering information, spoke out the mental command for an upgrade.
'Increase my Rank Potential.' The moment he did so, Aoni's attention shifted away from his TD and instantly to the heavy and dense pressure falling from the sky above down onto him.

"O..kay, that's weird. Did I just need some time to acclimate to my Elementalized Energia, or did that pressure somehow integrate it better..." Noting that he had lost 35 points but gained 10 back, Aoni stared down at his hands in confusion before coming up with a reckless idea.
Spinning around on his heel and nearly slipping on a puddle of melted snow, Aoni sprinted over toward his cooled dinner and began chowing down.
However, unlike before, where he stopped after six bites, this time, he persisted until everything was gone, and frankly, he believed he was about to die.
Not because he was so full his stomach was in danger, but because he felt so bloated with Energia that he was on the edge of a messy death.
"Oh God, ahhhh, this was dumb," Straining to move even an inch and experiencing the worst case of heartburn in his life, Aoni's eyes drifted toward the notification he had seen earlier, which had appeared after his 5th bite of food.
'Ima die....ooof, at this...ugh...rate! Do it, damn it, convert my Overabundance of Energia into Elementalized Energia!' Practically screaming the command in his head and seeing his vision tunnel out, Aoni could only pray that his idiotic idea was gonna work because if not...well when Glacia woke up...she was gonna be VERY confused as to why there was a massive red blotch where her food was cooked.

Like a cartoon character, upon reading the last two lines of text, Aoni's eyes nearly burst out of his head as if made with rubber, and just like that, the first part of his reckless plan worked out stunningly well.
