Chapter 58: Ch-58 Adventurers Test-2

"I tried to warn her to choose a level she could manage." The receptionist said as she tried to get up to stop the tiger before it was too late.But before she could, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Sir? " She asked in confusion as she stared at the bespactled man holding her back.

"Don't interfere," he said in a casual tone.

"If I don't interfere, the girl will lose her life," she pleaded, hoping to convince the man.

"If she loses her life, that would be her own fault," the man said emotionlessly.

The girl was stunned by the words of the man.

"Haha!! Just kidding, but you should see the expression on your face; it's priceless." The man snickered, finding the situation funny.

The receptionist wasn't sure what to say as she observed her superior.

"But don't worry, I don't think of human life as so insignificant."

"I can see it in her eyes; she hasn't given up yet; in fact, I believe she's just about to get started, so it wouldn't be fair for us to steal her opportunity."

"So just trust me and watch; if anything goes wrong, I'll personally intervene," the man said.

Hearing his words, the receptionist also found her heart relaxing, so she just took her seat and chose to continue observing the fight, hoping to understand what gave the man so much confidence in the girl.

'Phew, calm yourself, Jasmine, she mentally told herself.

Calming herself in the stressful situation helped weaken the paralysis.

Just when the tiger was mere inches away from devouring her, she activated her aspect for the first time in the fight.

As she signalled her body to do a jumping motion, which it unfortunately wasn't able to do due to the paralysis, at least until her legs swoled and their mass increased dramatically.

Turning the previously 5'4 girl to a whopping 7'0 feet, all thanks to the increase in the size of her legs, which forcefully broke the paralysis and sent her flying backward. In the process, she also managed to hit the tiger, sending it flying away from her.

As Jasmine flew, she quickly undid the transformation as she did a backflip, landing back on her feet.

The tiger unfortunately didn't manage to get such a graceful landing as it slowly stood back up on its four limbs. It's anger reached a brand new apex as it charged back at the girl responsible for her current poor state.

Seeing the beast charging at it this time, even Jasmine didn't hesitate as she brandished her sword and rushed at the beast.

As the beast and the girl met in the centre, claws collided with metal as they generated a sharp noise.

~Cling~

Sparks flew in the air, but neither of the two responsible backed down, determined to devour or kill their enemy.

Until finally, the beast started overpowering the girl.

However, before it could fully overpower her, the girl activated her aspect, instantly turning her previously 10-inch katana into practically a greatsword.

Catching the beast off guard by the sudden shift in the weight and mass of her weapon in just one plain swinging motion, she was able to send it flying.

But the beast managed to restabilize itself back in the air and landed gracefully, managing to avoid crashing into the barrier again.

This was bad, and from an outside perspective, it looked like she was winning, but she knew the truth.

For each use of her aspect, she was wasting an absurd amount of mana. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This, combined with her earlier consumption of mana, left her with just a little over 10% of her total mana.

She needed to end this fight with her next move, or she'd lose, and losing was simply not an option for her.

And it seemed the tiger shared her sentiment; it seems it had already taken a bit too much damage, so it also needed to end the fight soon.

With mutual understanding between the girl and beast, the fight was about to reach its climax.

As the beast rushed towards Jasmine, she threw her sword at it, but it was futile as the beast grabbed the blade in between its teeth and threw it aside.

As the beast was about to plunge its fangs into the girl, it seemed hopeless.

The girl in panic had thrown her sword and lost her weapon, and she was now about to pay the price.

Or so it would seem to an ordinary person, but the girl smiled.

After all, since she was about to go all out, she couldn't use the weapon, whose main purpose was to restrict her strength.

Jasmine bent her knees as she readied her fist in a punching motion.

It looked absurd after all; it was a little girl attempting to punch a beast nearly three times her size.

Until it wasn't, Jasmine activated her aspect for the last time and used [Strong Fist].

Her fist grew in size to an absurd degree, even dwarfing the previously enormous beast. It looked almost comical attached to the little girl, and with the effect of her skill, her hand turned red as it emitted steam.

And once the fist made contact with the tiger, there was no more tiger.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!

An extremely forceful explosion erupted as the whole ground was destroyed; even the barrier shook greatly from the aftereffects.

And as for the tiger, there was no more trace of it except for all the blood dying the whole area inside the barrier and Jasmine red.

There was no more trace of the once terrifying foul beast.

Just like the girl had said, she managed to win.

And as for her audience, the only reaction they could muster was pure shock at the horrifying amount of power hidden inside her small body.

Even the bespectacled man appeared shocked; it seems even he didn't anticipate the girl hiding such power.

As the dome-like barrier dematerialized, Jasmine was showered in praise by the adventurers who were observing the whole thing, and they even went as far as offering her to join their party.

And even the receptionist was feeling glad that she listened to her superior's words, or else they would've lost a really talented adventurer.

But before they could complete Jasmine's registration, everyone was distracted by the noise of a loud commotion upstairs.
