After I finally returned my stats to normal, I felt finally calm. My body was back to normal too, and this exhaustion I was feeling finally dissipated too. I felt like taking a nap right now, the burden and exhaustion that comes after using the [System Modification] Spell to its fullest is really big, just like Alice said… but the power it has is frightening, even changing stats for a bit creates a huge change despite being such little stats. This is most likely caused due to an effect Alice calls "Unlimited Limited Growth Effect".

"Theoretically speaking, you shouldn't be able to grow stronger at all from your initial strength after your Status was frozen, Sylphy, but there were several factors that allowed it. One of them was your parent's intervention, as they bathed you in dragon blood and feed you dragon meat through Cooking Magic, they forced a strengthening in your body, which opened the path for you to continue developing your strengthen further, despite your stats being low." Said Alice.

"Didn't you said at the beginning that I could still grow outside the System?" I wondered.

"Yes, but your parents increased the speed in which you can grow stronger several thousands of times over… Making your growth abnormal and greater than those without glitched systems." Said Alice. "Aside from that, the status system was supposed to hold your growth back but it was ignored by the incredible power flowing through your body, which was further enhanced by the limitless amount of Mana you got. Of course, you're still developing so you can't simply become the strongest… yet."

"Huh… But what about this weird Effect you talked about?"

"Oh yeah, the "Unlimited Limited Growth Effect" has direct relevance with both your unchangeable stats and your body and soul's growth. As your body and soul gains power, your stats, which don't change, gain power as well! Each number becomes stronger by itself, even a single digit can make a difference in your strength." She said. "This way, it is as if you were still growing but not at the same time."

"I see… It is weird and I barely understood it, but I guess my numbers are just stronger than others? That's it? Is it because they carry more of my total power." I said while scratching my head.

"Precisely!"

"Aha, I get it then… Ugh, what I did with Aquarina was a bit… I think I overdid it though."

"C-Certainly, I didn't expected [Charm] to be such a strong Stat, especially when you also changed your Class to [Charmer]! Why did you even do that?!"

"Haha… I was just playing around! I didn't do it due to bad intentions, I am innocent! I only want the best for Aquarina… Nothing else!"

"Huh… Well, let's leave it at that. Charm has its powers as well, perhaps you could use it to throw off guard foes, or even convince them. It seems to have brainwashing powers…"

"Hmm… I have yet to try the other stats, I am quite curious about Luck though… What's with the minus 10? Is my luck that bad? What happens if I move that -10 elsewhere?"

"Then you'll receive -10 in that stat, and grow weaker."

"Hm… What if I put it on HP? Will I die instantly or something? I mean, -10 HP feel weird."

"I don't know… But I recommend you to never try it out, MP is quite obvious that you will lose it all if you do that, so don't try to make your HP and MP lower than 1 if possible. You've already experienced the burden and exhaustion both physically and mentally of dropping those stats, so I will trust you that you won't do anything reckless."

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Of course, leave it to me!" I said quite pridefully.

After that, I went back to reality while Aquarina was acting awkward over what she had just done. It was honestly very surprising and it scared me a bit… but it was also quite cute, I never thought Aquarina thought of myself in such a way. Maybe Charm also made her get out some of her deepest feelings?ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"S-Sylphy, please forget what I said! I-I wasn't right in my mind… S-Something must have happened to me… Ugh, maybe I am sick?" She wondered. I caressed her silky silvery white hair and smiled.

"Don't worry about it, those words were very sweet, they captivated my heart." I said with a smile.

"H-Huh?!" Aquarina reacted exaggeratedly. "I-It was not creepy?"

"I-It was surprising but don't sweat it." I said while trying to calm her down.

"Hahaha… O-Okay then…" She said while fidgeting her fingers nervously.

I couldn't help but pet her head, she was way too adorable.

However, at the distance I could sense the stares of Celeste, Mist, and Zack, and the three were talking with one another as well…

"Hm, those two girls…" Said Celeste. "Boy, are those two… by any chance?"

"I-I am not so sure." Said Zack. "But I can tell you that they're indeed… rather close."

"Wow, they must be really good friendsh!" Said Mist, as she quickly moved near Zack. "Zacku, are you carrying three boxes too?!" She asked.

"Yes… It is a bit tiring but not so much… Using enhancement magic, it is possible." Said Zack.

"Woooow!" Mist began to admire Zack again. "You're strong! Strong!"

"Hahaha… I think you've exaggerating… Well, let me carry your boxes as well, you're too little." Said Zack, as he finished carrying the boxes and then carried the two that were assigned to Mist.

"Oh, y-you don't have to…" She said shyly.

"Don't worry, you're so small and cute that I can't let you carry them, it would hurt my heart." Laughed Zack.

"Uwah… Thank shu! You're weally nice with me…" Mist began following Zack around while blushing all the time. Did she… just developed a crush on him? I think it might had been love at first sight. I have no idea what Zack might have to say about it, but he seems completely oblivious.

Celeste was glaring at the two rather menacingly as well… I suppose she didn't liked how Mist got attached to him.
