As soon as the gem entered her mouth, she began to feel its power course through her body. Lisa did not know what to do as her body began to ache from the overwhelming amount of power that entered it. Her bones creaked, her muscles broke apart, and her mind was just short of exploding—or at least it felt like it was about to.
"Uuhhaaa!" she screamed out, falling to her knees and trying to hold on to something.
The intense pain came in waves as it pulsed throughout her body, making her shudder with each one. The particles of light surrounded her and at times alleviated the pain.
It wasn't long before she began to feel the change in her body. She was stronger, faster, and harder to damage.
She only grew a few centimeters, to her joy, she was still shorter than Logan.
The girl's clothes had ripped in some parts due to the process, especially her bosom, which had grown decently, at least a size or two. She did not have time to check as she quickly placed one of her cloaks over herself in case someone rushed in to check up on her.
Her shoes were at least auto-adjusting, so they grew a little to accommodate her new size.
Lisa's hair, which was a little longer and reached a bit under her shoulder, now reached her thighs. It was a blond almost platinum, and her skin had become a lighter tone.
Her nails grew a few millimeters, and some of the marks Lisa remembered having on her arms disappeared as if she were reborn.
What changed the most was the amount of mana she could use, which was now twice as much as before.

Lisa looked at the stats she now had and noticed they were strong enough to surpass most of the heroes in the class, especially her intelligence state that was so high up it left even Silvia who specialized in magic behind.
She also noticed the new ability she now had: her angelic wings would let her fly in the sky like her bird. However, unlike the two creatures in front of her, the wings would not be able to be used for long periods of time, as they would cost her mana to use.
"Well then… I will have to get used to flying, won't I?" Lisa said before thinking about a concern she had.
[Zephyr… how is Logan doing? Is he doing well in his new town?] Lisa asked, wondering how her friend was doing as he did not speak much to her these days. She did not ask why though; she just knew he was busy.
[Fighting demons. They attacked home, more are coming. Logan wants to be stronger,] Zephyr replied.
"Wait, what! Demons attacked his town? How many, Zephyr? Did anyone die?" Lisa was caught off guard, hoping for good news but not expecting the large eagle's response.
[Many… like ants, they attacked. They were defeated… but more coming next time.] She heard Zephyr's reply and also knew the bird did not know how to count, something she expected. But if they were attacking like ants, that meant there were many, and if so, when they attacked again, there would be even more.
Lisa's heart thumped at the news. She was really not needed here, right?
She paced back and forth a few times.
The news had gotten her even more worried.
"What if he faces thousands… even the few that attacked us before were enough to cause us problems… but thousands…" Lisa muttered.
"I need to go… I need to help Logan, I have a way to do so…" she finally said out loud. Both creatures in front of her nodded at her answer and called out as if cheering.
[Will help master, he is worried about next battle,] Zephyr said.
[I will help also. Master will need my help, I am powerful now!] Orus said with excitement about meeting Logan once again.
"Alright, I will be back soon. Let me tell the others…" Lisa said as she headed back to the inn where most of the class was.
She went to Ms. Claire, who was still shocked at finding that someone within the class had completed the quest.
"Hey Lisa, did you hear the news? Someone finished the class change quest," Ms. Claire said, smiling while wondering who it was.
"Yes… well that was me, I had it easy," Lisa said while trying to think of how she was going to explain the next part to their ever-worrying teacher.
