Chapter 150: Tousou (The Battle) 14
Up in the instructor’s booth, Carlisle Freed squinted at the cracked battlefield where Kaizer stood victorious and Tessa lay in a crater, snoring peacefully.
He tilted his head.
"...Okay, real talk," He said, waving a jerky stick like a pointer.
"What in the seven hells did I just watch? She hulked up mid-fight like three times. What are those ’Super Tessa’ things?"
Madam Sylvia coughed lightly and looked away, clearly uncomfortable. "It’s... a bit of a long story."
Carlisle leaned in, interested. "Oh no, don’t you dare! Spill it! Right now! I demand answers!!"
Madam Sylvia sighed, rubbing her temples. "Her ability, Perfect Body, allows her to permanently increase her physical stats through sustained training, which means strength, speed, durability... everything. The more she works out, the stronger she gets and there’s no upper limit, just how much her body can handle."
"Okay, that makes sense, but what’s with the... transformation stuff?" Carlisle gestured vaguely to the battlefield.
Sylvia grimaced. "She, uh... gamified it mentally and said it helps her focus. So every time she hits a new physical plateau, she assigns it a name. First big breakthrough? Super Tessa. Second one? Super Tessa 2. You get the pattern."
Carlisle blinked. "She anime-trained herself into unlocking forms?"
"Technically speaking she’s doubling her muscular output with each stage by engaging specific layered tension systems through neural conditioning and biomechanical stress thresholds. It’s a kind of self-hypnosis fused with aura ignition." Sylvia muttered.
