At the mention of that, Pietro gave an awkward little laugh. He hadn't forgotten what had just happened.
If Leo hadn't been there, falling from such a height would probably have left him either dead or seriously injured. He would have been finished.
But Pietro, of course, wasn't discouraged in the slightest. Even he had realized how astonishing his speed was, especially since it had nearly doubled this time.
Pietro's physical condition had now completely recovered. Looking at the empty mountain road around him, he grew excited again, seeming eager to try out his abilities once more.
"Pietro, try to see if you can run down along the cliff face!"
Leo looked at Pietro again and asked him this.
"Along the cliff face? Downward?"
Wanda was rather frightened. She had seen Pietro rush up along the rock face before, but that had been upward, so it hadn't been too bad.
But if he rushed downward along the cliff face, his already terrifying speed would be combined with Earth's gravity. It would be a disaster.
That powerful acceleration, combined with the solid ground, could smash Pietro into mincemeat.
"No, how could that possibly work?!"
Wanda was the first to object. Jenny also voiced her concern. Although they were all stunned by Pietro's abilities, by their own judgment, this was simply impossible.
No one would accelerate while falling, and no one would want to slam into the ground at such speed.
But Pietro, standing nearby, remained silent.
"No, perhaps I can try. I think I should be able to do it!"
After a few seconds, Pietro spoke with determination. Recalling his state while running at top speed, he realized that he wasn't greatly affected by external forces like gravity. Their effects were drastically weakened, and he could even control them to some
