Chapter 24: ...Interesting

"I am your test"

Lex could not help but gulp nervously as she looked at Diana. So this was what she meant when she said she was checking on him personally?

"Sausage System, eh?", Diana continued to stretch her body, her breasts almost popping out from her jacket as she twisted her arm, "What's that, you get stronger when eating sausages or something?", Diana chuckled.

"Ms. Diana, I think it is inappropriate, not to mention unfair for you to set up a test like this", Janice fixed her glasses as she reprimanded Diana.

"Relax, newbie. If you weren't aware of it yet, the school isn't exactly the model for fairness", Diana then proceeded to take off her jacket, only leaving the sports bra she was wearing. Her huge breasts now moving more freely as she rotated her shoulders. "And besides, with everything that happened today, I need to let off some steam", she said as she cracked her knuckles.

"M-Ms. Diana!", Janice could not help but comment, "Cover yourself up!"

Janice quickly looked at Lex. She wasn't jealous or anything, but looking at Diana's voluptuous figure up close, she thought that Lex might develop certain… feelings for her- and that would be inappropriate!

But seeing as the only thing that could be seen from Lex's face was confusion, Janice released a sigh of relief. Again, she wasn't jealous or anything. And so, with a sigh, she just walked to the side. She would be lying if she said she wasn't curious to see what Lex was capable of.

"This will be easy, just try hitting me as hard as you can", Diana said as she tried to loosen her ankles by hopping a couple of times, her huge breasts bouncing along with her body, "Just waiting for you, boy", Diana beckoned Lex to hit her in the stomach.

If it was any other day or a different person, then Lex would have definitely been more than happy with the view that was being offered to him right now.

But alas, once any of his sweat hits the instructor, then his skill [Walking Aphrodisiac] would surely activate. Wasn't there any way to turn Passive Skills off!?

Lex gulped, "But… won't I hurt you?"

Hearing Lex's words, Diana immediately stopped moving. And after a few seconds,

"BWAHAHAHA", her laugh filled the entire gym, "Boy, you really think a Holder that just unlocked his System can hurt me? That's not something a level 1 like you should be worrying about. Now, come on. Hit me as hard as you can, we are both Enhancer types!"

System Holders always start at level 1. The only way they could level up was to absorb the crystals that were being dropped by the creatures of the portals.

But Lex… Lex was already level 13.

This is the main reason he chose to check Enhancer as his System type. Any added strength or durability will just be chucked up to him having an Enhancer type System. And if anybody asks something complex, he'll just say it was from a Passive Skill.

He already researched it. Some Enhancer type System Holders could even lift buildings if they wanted to.

...So, there shouldn't be any problem if he didn't hold back his punch, right? Seeing as Diana is an instructor of the Academy, she should be of a much higher level than level 13. Even Janice was able to pin him down, and she wasn't even an Enhancer type.

And so, after wiping his hand clean and making sure it was dry from any form of liquid that might be coming from him, he put up his stance.

His stance was, in a word, flimsy.

But Diana did not seem to mind as she also tapped her stomach, "Right in the stomach, boy!"

'You can do it, Lex!', Janice silently cheered on the side, her fists rolled up,

"O-okay!", Lex nodded his head, "Here I come!"

As soon as Lex said that, his shoe dug into the gym floor as he rushed towards Diana.

There was a weird smile on Lex's face. Although there was still a bit of hesitation inside him. But to be able to see how strong he was against a high-level System Holder?

This was a chance to see how stronger he has become, and how much power he needed more in order to truly face them.

And so, he gritted his teeth as he placed all his attention on Diana's stomach. And while holding his breath, he put all of his strength on his fists as he slammed it towards Diana's open stomach.

*BOOM*

A loud flogging sound echoed through the gym as soon as Lex's fist made contact with Diana's stomach.

But after the echo stopped, Lex could only sigh as he retracted his fist in defeat.

Lex was expecting this outcome, but for Instructor Diana to not even move from her spot? Reality once again washed over him. He had a long way to go.

"S-sorr-"

He was about to apologize to Instructor Diana, but his vision suddenly shifted as he felt a slight pain on his cheek.

"Ms. Diana!", seeing Lex being punched in the face strong enough to be thrown in the air, Janice could not help but shout as she ran towards Lex to check on him. But before she could reach him, Diana blocked her path.

"Interesting…", Diana whispered,

"...Very interesting"
