40 I'm Stuck Miss Secretary

The room Clay had entered was relatively bland contrary to his expectations, he thought that the room would be designed similarly to the hall, with candles and the like. But no, there was nothing in the room except tables with various devices on top of them.

Clay's eyes wandered around until they landed on the back of the secretary that was bending over to reach for some items at the back.

The moment he looked at the secretary he immediately looked away.

'Damn, she looks really beautiful from behind' a hint of red slowly crept up to his face as his thoughts ran wild.

'Uhh, the reward! Yeah!' Clay tried distracting himself by claiming the system reward.

'System, claim quest reward'

'Now this, this is a good distraction' Clay thought as he closed his eyes to better feel the various changes happening throughout his body.

"Here, this is a new device so it won't have any malfunctions" the secretary threw a new device at Clay who was abruptly snapped out of his thoughts.

"We're doing the test again, to confirm if you really are qualified or just 'lucky'" the secretary crossed her arms which highlighted her chest distracting Clay, if not for the system notification resounding in his ears then he might've gotten caught staring.

'Please don't tell me it's another quest' sure Clay wanted to get strong, but this is just too fast even for him, he hadn't even gotten used to his enhanced body before the system enhanced it further.

*Ding!*

'So it was another quest' Clay closed his eyes as he sighed, which did nothing since he could still see the system prompt even with his eyes closed, it was a weird experience as people are not supposed to see anything with their eyes closed but then the system thought otherwise.

'Open quest' Clay thought with another sigh.

|Quest name: SQUEEZE!(3)|

\Beat your previous record, again/

{Isn't it infuriating that people think you're cheating? Well, you are kind of cheating, with the type of system you have I mean, so, instead of explaining yourself, just shock them some more cause why not?}

|Quest rewards: 2000 SC, 5000 EXP, and 500 Stat Points|

|Quest Failure Penalty: -1000 Exp|

|Quest Time Limit: 10 minutes|

[Yes/No]

Clay rubbed his temples. the rewards were even more exaggerated than the previous ones, and the quest time limit was a little bit scary for Clay who was used to seeing long due dates, with some hesitation, Clay finally chose.

'Alright, you win, accept quest'

*Ding!*

"What are you standing there for? Get on with it already" the secretary said with an impatient tone.

Clay swallowed some saliva as he got ready to squeeze.

Clay exerted his full force on the poor device.

*Boom*

His muscles exploding with power caused a shockwave to spread out from Clay as the starting point.

Being slightly pushed back by the shockwave, the secretary adjusted her glasses and looked at the holographic result in shock.

"F-four hundred and twenty?!" the woman exclaimed as she finally lost her composure.

It turns out that even years of training couldn't stop her from being shocked at this moment.

Meanwhile, the perpetrator of this was scratching his head in embarrassment.

[Yes/No]

'Surely she won't test me the fourth time, right?' Clay broke out in cold sweat as he thought of how he could get unlimited power from this.

"O-ok, I think we should opt for a more credible testing formula-"

'Please don't make me do another test' Clay hoped.

"-but for now, welcome to the elite Adurep school Clay, until we can find a better alternative for getting the results, you are officially invited to attend the school" the secretary told Clay as soon as she got a hold of herself because even she realized that things were just going in a roundabout path if they kept on trying to test Clay.

And Clay's prayers were answered.

'Phew'

'Claim reward' Clay had almost forgotten about the reward due to the relief of finally not needing to continue the burdensome tests, at least to Clay it was burdensome.

Clay was happy with the rewards until he saw the randomly allocated stat points.

'Oh no, I haven't even gotten used to my power ye-' his thoughts were cut off by the addicting feeling of the cooling sensation and the weirdly satisfying itchiness that was showing up everywhere in his body.

"Stay here as I do not want to deal with an angry mob again" the woman told Clay as she walked out of the room.

"Okay" Clay replied as he checked his status window.

'I'm nearing the 4th digits, I should be considerably powerful compared to my peers' Clay thought as he studied the changes in his body.

His perception of the world is becoming clearer the stronger he gets, it's like a fog is getting cleared from his vision every time he gets stronger.

'Still, that mapping stat looks quite pitiful compared to my other stats' Clay thought as he glanced toward the mapping stat which was only in the one digits.

Clay tried jumping but then regretted it immediately after.

*Boom!*

An explosion resounded throughout the whole village as Clay jumped with outrageous strength causing him to almost shoot through the ceiling.

Luckily for Clay, the ceiling was reinforced in order to resist attacks from the sky, so Clay had only gotten his head through the building before the rest of his body got stopped by the reinforced wooden planks.

Nevertheless, Clay was disoriented from the jump, although there was no damage done to him, getting dust in your eyes wasn't a pleasant experience. Clay tried rubbing his eyes but his hands were stuck at his sides.

'Uh oh'
