Chapter 212: Aftercare Is Certain (3)

Chapter 212: Aftercare Is Certain (3)

Ability users were akin to rampaging beings.

Even a minor mental disturbance could trigger a rampage, transforming the ability user into a demon.

But did an ability users rampage always lead in a negative direction?

Not necessarily.

Humans could also rampage in productive and constructive ways.

A prime example of this was awakening.

It involves surpassing ones limits to reach a higher level.

In extreme terms, its akin to watching my magic power rating increase in the status window through which I view myself.

This was one of those moments.

Yoon Iseon began to knock on the door of her limits right from the first day of training.

Its not because of the date invitation, is it?

If so, her fandom was truly remarkable.

Personally, Id like to think its because I gave a good demonstration and explained well.

Thats my personal hope as Yoon Iseons trainer, but if the results were positive and there were no issues with the process, then all was well.

[.]

I observed Yoon Iseons changes from the sidelines.

Awakening didnt necessarily mean a massive change.

Changes like hair color turning blonde, lightning crackling around someone, or hair growing down to the toes were all forms of awakening.

What about Yoon Iseon?

I taught her the technique of the will-o-the-wisp and indirectly explained the principle behind the transformations of Nana and Yumir.

The real example being me.

The black flames surrounding me as the suit.

I didnt directly teach her because I wanted her to realize it on her own

I didnt expect her to change like this.

Fwoosh.

As the pink flames subsided, Yoon Iseon slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me.

From a slightly lower angle than before.

Huh?

[Are you back with us?]

What happened to

[Magic power reveals the earnest desires of ability users. Thats your true desire, your longing.]

Uh, uhh.

Yoon Iseons face turned red.

Her academy training outfit, which previously fit her perfectly, had shrunk to resemble three-quarter sleeve shirts and pants.

The workout clothes remained unchanged.

It was just that Yoon Iseons limbs had elongated.

[Youve suddenly become a lady.]

Ah, ah This, this is, I mean!Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

[Calm down. Youll return to your original form once the transformation is undone.]

!!

Realizing she would return to her original form seemed to snap Yoon Iseon back to her senses, and she gulped down her saliva, nodding.

Her limbs, which had momentarily seemed to pop out of her workout clothes, almost wavered like mist, but she took a deep breath and firmly maintained her physical form.

Her body had been transformed by magical power.

How did this happen?

[Its the result of your desires, ambitions, and cravings all coming together.]

Could you explain that in simpler terms?

[It means youve achieved the S-class form you desired. Take a good look.]

I pointed at the mirror on the gym wall.

[You wished to become a glamorous beauty of a lady whos 170 cm tall, didnt you?]

.

Yoon Iseon was surprised by her reflection in the mirror, then covered her face with her hands as she realized her current reality.

Is this really what I wanted to look like when I became S-class?

Becoming the bombshell Yoon Iseon was one thing, but turning into foxgirl Yoon Iseon was as easy as switching on and off.

[Want to try bringing it out?]

Just a moment. Then

Fwoosh.

Wow.

A pink tail spread out behind her like a blooming lotus.

The tail, wide enough to cover her entire body, made her look like a full-fledged nine-tailed fox-

[Is this a side effect?]

Ah?!

Fox ears sprouted on top of her head.

With fairly long fox ears, even fur popping out from the inside, Yoon Iseon trembled all over.

This, this isnt something I did on purpose!

[Bringing out nine tails and becoming more fox-like is just instinct. It cant be helped. Theres no changing it.]

A nine-tailed fox lady with fox ears and tails, each larger than her head.

The protagonist was originally a woman, so it wasnt a big deal, but there was a reason all the men in the original work fell for her.

Originally, she was supposed to awaken as an S-class during a crisis after a conversation with the original protagonist, but now her transformation was triggered by a more earnest desire.

[Since youve awakened in this form, shall we continue our date?]

Continue?

[Yes.]

I stepped back from Yoon Iseon, then brought my hands together as if in prayer.

Flutter.

[Does this look a bit similar?]

I created a form made of magic power behind me.

Not as beautiful as Yoon Iseons form, the black, angular branches resembled mechanical arms.

The four black branches, angular yet wiggling like octopus legs.

[If youve transformed with your ability, youll have to learn a new fighting style suited to it. But before that, youll go through the process of adapting to that body.]

[What? Why? What.]

A date with the trainer being training was only natural.

My expectations-

[Just kidding.]

Clap.

I clapped my hands and extended the branches from my back to turn off the gym lights.

It was quite a distance, but the branches stretched out, exerting physical influence.

[Im not planning to make you run before youve even learned to walk.]

Really?

[For now, just focus on maintaining that form as long as possible without letting the transformation undo.]

I pointed outside the gym.

[Lets go for a light drive.]

Beep.

Outside, my car was waiting, and I opened the passenger door, gesturing inside.

[Get in.]

Excuse me.

Yoon Iseon sat in the passenger seat, and I immediately took the drivers seat and grabbed the steering wheel.

Where are we going?

[A 24-hour outlet.]

Why?

[Well.]

I lightly scanned Yoon Iseon from top to bottom with my eyes.

[You need to get clothes that fit first. It must be a bit tight, right?]

.

Yoon Iseon blushed and turned her head toward the window as she tried to fasten her seatbelt.
