"Ouch that hurts !" The invisible rend user stood up. Alice could hear that it was a male voice. His rend started to wear off and as he realized that he started running away. "Ah I don't wanna be seen !!" His body and voice looked like those of a small boy. But Alice didn't have time to think of that. She ran to check on Tania.
"Are you fine ?" She asked.
Tania looked up "Yes I'm totaly fine. It doesn't seem like he wanted to hurt me" Alice helped her get up.
The judges walked out to the empty place in the middle of the zone and called everyone left there. The main judge took a step and spoke loudly.
"Congratulations to all of you that passed. Because of this years way of evaluating, the scores will be given out by the end of the day to your area of residence in a package. It will also contain your school uniforms and everything about the classes you will atend. That is all"
Loud cheer erupted as all the people who passed started celebrating. Fireworks lit up the sky.
"I was so scared for a moment. Let's go home. I want to sleep" Alice said.
"Ofcourse" Tania answered.
The walk home was uneventful. but the moment they got home Alice hit the bed. Leaving Monika and Tania one on one.
"So did you get in ?" Guildmaster asked.
"Yes but barely. If it wasn't for Alice I would have lost" The dryad answered.
Monika looked very proud that her student was being praised.
"By the way. What is your relationship with Alice miss Monika ?" The dryad turned red and her sound was barely a whisper as she asked this.
"And why would you want to know that ~" A grin appeard on her face.
"I'm just curious !" She pouted at her teasing.
Monika giggled then said "She is my student. I help her get stronger and she does my chores around the guild" She explaiend the reason.
"Oh, i thought she is your daughter" Tania was very honest about her thoughts.
"Pffft" She almost spat her drink "No she is not. I actually never asked her about her family. But I do know that she lived with a woman and her son in a village not far from here" She pondered if there was anything else to add. "But thats about it"
Their conversation continued about other topics.
...
"Are you sure you aren't a dryad miss Monika ?" Tania asked.
"Because of my eternal youth and beauty ?" She winked and pushed her assets to show them even better.
"No! Because you also like walking around with barely anything covering your body" She looked very serious "You might be my grandma for all we know!"
"My fashion has nothing to do with being a dryad dear ~" She smiled.
Their chat was cut short as Alice got down the stairs
"Good evening Tania and master. I feel so much better now" She was scratching her belly as she was walking downstairs.
"Alice is that really you ?"
"Are you sure you are okay ?"
Both the women asked as she was coming to them.
"Why ? Something happend ?" Alice was very confused. She just woke up and was already being interogated.
"You really don't know ? Look in the mirror" Monika pushed her in front of one.
She was shocked to see that her hair have grown way longer. resting on her shoulders now, the buds of her horns that appear when she uses the dryad rend were present on her forehead and the small amounts of moss and leafs were growing around her body.
"But how ? I for sure didn't activate it right now" She was changing her poses to have a better view of her body.
"How does your core feel. Is it any different ?" Guildmaster asked.
"Now that you mention it the tears feel like they are enveloping each other. What do you think is the meaning of this ?" Alice asked. Still confused.
"Maybe its finally finishing its assimilation with your body ? That's my best guess" She shrugged.
Alice wanted to continue checking her body noticing it getting more mature but her focus was switched as a bell rang on their mansion door. Alice quickly ran to change her clothes to something other than her pajamas and Tania went to open the door. There was a wizard with his familiar.
"Tania the dryad and Alice the human. We welcome you in the ranks of the first semester B class." He gave Tania two packages and instantly went away. It seems 300 different people in one evening was a lot to go around.
"Alice we got into the B class" Tania cheered excited, Alice was so happy that she fell on her face while running to her.
"Ouch" She stood up "Yay we did it !!" They jumped happy.
They each opened their summaries from the exam.

Alice and Tania looked confused. Monika also checked.
"How do you have zero in rend ?" Tania asked.
"Why is your decision making so low ?" Alice asked
"You are 190 years old ?" Monika asked.
It seems that each one was shocked about a different fact. They all laughed and decided not to pay attention to that right now. The two girls just wanted to enjoy their big celebration. They tried their school uniform. Tania was the first one to wear it and she went to show it off. It was a black and dark green uniform with a white shirt and name embroidered on the chest. She also had white sport shoes with green laces. Because of her curves the embroidered name was facing to the ground. She didn't care too much about it.
"Alice its your turn. Come out !" Tania called out for her.
"I might have a small problem. Literaly small problem" Alice answered.
Tania went to check on her to see that the uniform that was brought for her was two sizes too small.
"I don't understand. I gave them my measurments yesterday" Alice was really confused. The shirt was tight around the chest. The skirt couldn't go past her thighs and her shoes felt smaller than before.
