Two weeks had passed since Hina's confrontation with the demonlord, and the whispers of her power echoed through the halls of Tryni Elite Academy. Fully recovered, Hina found herself reflecting on the conversation she had with the system. The revelation that she had been operating at only half her magical capacity in human form left her dumbfounded.
Hina slapped her forehead in disbelief. "That's absurd! All this time, I could have been utilizing my full potential if I had just transformed into my magic wand form."
The system chimed in, its voice calm and measured. "Indeed, Princess. But rest assured, I intervened when the demonlord carried your body. I channeled the power of the wand to deliver a decisive blow that incapacitated the demonlord."
Hina's expression softened as she absorbed the explanation. "Thank you, System. I can't believe I overlooked such a simple solution."
With renewed determination, Hina bounded out of her room and into the bustling hallway. Her maid and guards called out to her, but she was already sprinting towards her next destination.
As she burst through the doors and into the open air, Hina's heart raced with excitement. She called upon her levitation and telekinesis, propelling herself skyward with unparalleled speed.
The system's voice echoed in her mind as she soared towards the distant mountain peak. "Where are we going, Princess?"
Hina's response was swift and resolute. "To the faraway mountain, where I can train without prying eyes."
Upon reaching the summit, Hina wasted no time. With a fierce cry, she summoned her magic burst, her hands raised to the heavens. The divine energy crackled around her as she unleashed her power with unbridled intensity.
"Magic burst!" she shouted, the energy pulsating with raw force. "Tenfold!"
The mountain trembled beneath her, the ground shaking with the sheer magnitude of her power. But Hina pressed on, her determination unwavering.
The system's warning went unheeded as Hina pushed herself to the brink. The sky above blazed with divine light, casting a brilliant glow across the land below.
As the shockwaves rippled outward, Hina felt a surge of power unlike anything she had ever experienced. It was as if she had tapped into an infinite wellspring of energy, transcending the limitations of her mortal form.
Hiku, back at the academy, watched with a mixture of awe and apprehension. "What is Princess Hina doing? Is she unleashing some divine punishment upon the world?"
But Hina paid no heed to the chaos she had unleashed. With every ounce of her being, she pushed herself further, reaching for the pinnacle of her power.
And then, in a flash of blinding light, it happened. A wave of energy swept across the land, heralding the culmination of Hina's efforts.
The system's voice rang out, filled with pride and admiration. "Congratulations, Princess. You have unlocked magic shift."
Hina's heart swelled with joy as she realized the magnitude of her achievement. "Did I really do it?"
The system's response was firm and unwavering. "Yes, Princess. You have achieved 100% mastery over your magic, without any consequences to your body."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Hina surveyed the devastation she had wrought upon the mountain below. The realization of her own power left her reeling, but she knew that with this newfound ability, she could change the course of destiny itself.
As she descended from the mountain peak, Hina's heart was filled with a sense of purpose. She had ascended to the next level of her journey, embracing her true potential with open arms.
And as she returned to the academy, her spirit ablaze with newfound determination, Hina knew that her adventures had only just begun. With the power of magic shift at her command, she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead on her path to greatness.
As the students huddled inside the school, whispers of fear and uncertainty filled the air. They speculated about the cause of the dazzling display of power they had witnessed, wondering if they had somehow incurred the wrath of the gods.
Meanwhile, Hina found herself grappling with the aftermath of her actions. "Oops, my bad," she muttered under her breath, her expression a mixture of embarrassment and regret.
The system's voice echoed in her mind, its tone somber. "You've instilled fear in the hearts of those who witnessed your power. They saw the raw might you wielded and were left shaken."
Hina's shoulders slumped as she acknowledged the consequences of her actions. "I know," she replied, her voice tinged with remorse.
It was then that she encountered Hiku, the concern evident in his eyes. "Miss Hina, were you the one responsible for that spectacular display of magic in the sky?" he asked, his tone tinged with apprehension.
Hina forced a smile, though inwardly she cringed at the memory of the destruction she had caused. "No, it wasn't me," she replied, her voice strained as she tapped her finger nervously against her thigh.
The weight of her actions hung heavy in the air as she and Hiku exchanged uneasy glances. The repercussions of her display of power were far-reaching, and Hina knew that she would need to tread carefully in the days to come.
