The Extra who regained his past life memories

I concentrated on the space surrounding my sword and thought about gravity—

The invisible weight that had existed around me for my entire life.

Back then, it had simply been something ordinary.

Something I had never paid attention to.

But now...

Everything was different.

Through my Dimensional Awareness, I could sense the surrounding space far more clearly than before.

I couldn’t actually see gravity.

Yet...

I could feel its presence.

The weight pressing down on everything around me.

The more I focused on space itself, the clearer that invisible weight became.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly reached toward the gravity surrounding Eclipse.

Manipulating space itself was incredibly difficult.

It was vast.

Mysterious.

Almost impossible to control directly.

But gravity...

Gravity felt different.

It was only one aspect of space.

Much simpler to grasp.

I didn’t rush.

Instead, I carefully guided my mana, little by little, attempting to reduce the gravity acting upon my sword.

Not remove it completely...

Just lessen it.

Slowly...

Very slowly...

The invisible weight surrounding Eclipse began to weaken.

It felt as though the pressure pressing down on the sword was gradually lifting away.

After several careful attempts—

It worked.

"..."

For a moment, I simply stared at Eclipse in disbelief.

Honestly...

I had expected this to take the entire day.

Maybe even several days.

Yet somehow...

It had actually succeeded.

It wasn’t perfect.

But...

Gravity had responded to my will.

At that exact moment, a familiar notification appeared before my eyes.

[Congratulations! You have obtained a new skill: Gravity Control (F)]

A bright smile immediately spread across my face.

"I really did it..."

I gently lifted Eclipse.

The familiar heaviness...

Was gone.

Not because the sword itself had changed.

But because the gravity acting upon it had become much lighter.

Curious, I gave it a simple swing.

Whoosh!

The blade carved effortlessly through the air.

It felt...

Weightless.

As if I were swinging nothing at all.

My eyes widened.

"The speed..."

"It’s incredible..."

The result amazed me.

Still, I quickly calmed myself.

There was no need to become greedy.

I’d already made incredible progress today.

Besides...

It was almost lunchtime.

I looked toward Astrid with an excited smile.

"I’ve finished testing my new application."

"Can I try it against you?"

Astrid looked at me with amusement before nodding.

"Of course."

"Come at me, little Gray."

I tightened my grip around Eclipse and sprinted toward her.

This time, my sword moved noticeably faster.

While attacking, I continuously experimented with Gravity Control.

Just before my blade reached Astrid, I increased the gravity acting on Eclipse for only an instant before returning it to normal.

The change lasted only a brief moment.

But it was enough.

The strike became noticeably heavier without slowing down the entire swing.

Thanks to my perception skill, controlling the timing became much easier.

Honestly...

That skill felt like cheating.

My attacks were now both faster and stronger than before.

After several more exchanges, I gradually stopped.

Today’s harvest was already enormous.

Being too greedy was never a good thing.

One step at a time.

That had always been my approach.

Besides...

Who knew what would happen if I suddenly reduced the gravity acting on my own body?

I still remembered what happened the last time I overdid my experiments.

I couldn’t afford to pass out again.

Mom...

Amy...

Even Astrid...

They would all worry unnecessarily.

There was no need for that.

I wasn’t fighting some Demon King today.

I could continue experimenting another time.

As those thoughts crossed my mind, I suddenly felt the drain on my mana.

Almost empty.

I immediately stepped backward, raised my hand in surrender, and laughed awkwardly.

"Ah..."

"My mana’s almost gone."

"Can we stop here?"

I let out a long breath before sitting down on the ground.

I was completely exhausted.

Astrid nodded before walking over and handing me a bottle of ice-cold water.

"You did well today."

She smiled proudly.

"I noticed you manipulating the gravity around your sword during our spar."

"That was impressive."

"And increasing its weight only at the moment of impact..."

"That was a clever application."

"You’ve improved a lot today."

She paused before continuing.

"And your Darkness idea isn’t bad either."

"But don’t rely on it too much."

"Not every opponent reads your movements."

"Some fighters rely entirely on instinct."

"Others simply overwhelm their enemies with relentless attacks."

"Against those kinds of opponents, your little trick won’t be nearly as effective."

She smiled.

"But..."

"If you use it against the right person..."

"You’ll catch plenty of fighters off guard."

Then she gently ruffled my hair.

I smiled.

"Hm..."

Then I suddenly remembered something.

"Oh right."

I reached into my Space Storage and pulled out a bracelet before handing it to her.

Astrid tilted her head curiously.

"Hm?"

"A gift for me?"

She smiled warmly.

"My, how thoughtful of you, little Gray."

I scratched my cheek awkwardly.

"Ah..."

"Remember the first time Amy and I went shopping together?"

Astrid nodded.

"I saw these bracelets."

"I really liked them."

"There were four of them..."

"So I bought all four."

I rubbed the back of my head and laughed sheepishly.

"Well..."

"I bought them with Amy’s money."

Astrid couldn’t help but laugh.

I continued.

"I gave one to Mom."

"One to Amy."

"And kept one for myself."

"The last one was supposed to be yours."

"But..."

"You were away from the mansion at the time."

"So I kept it."

"Then I completely forgot about it."

"Sorry it took me so long to give it to you."

Astrid quietly looked down at the bracelet in her hand.

For several moments...

She said nothing.

Her fingers gently traced its surface.

Then she slowly looked back at me.

A warm smile appeared on her face.

She understood immediately.

This wasn’t just a bracelet.

Gray had bought four.

One for Mom.

One for Amy.

One for himself.

And one...

For her.

He had included her among the people closest to his heart from the very beginning.

That realization filled her heart with indescribable warmth.

She had always known Gray cared about her.

After all, she had practically helped raise him alongside Seraphina.

He treated her like family.

Like a second mother.

But hearing it and truly seeing it...

Were two completely different things.

Without saying another word, she suddenly pulled me into a hug.

"Ah..."

"My little Gray..."

"You’re far too thoughtful."

"I really love it."

"Thank you."

I smiled and returned the hug.

"I’m glad."

After a while, we let go and simply sat there chatting while waiting for Amy to finish her training.
