It had been a few weeks since the incident. Maki had almost made a full recovery already, and just in time for her birthday too.
She stretched in bed before standing up, feeling slightly off balance as she did so. Heading over the the bathroom she began to grab her stuff to brush her teeth and get started for the new day.
The house felt weird ever since it was just her living there. She didn't like it but, she could never move out right? She would never dare let anyone else live in Guildarts home.
Turning around to face the mirror, she almost jumped out of her own skin.
She stared at herself for a while before-
"What the actual hell!?"
~~
Maki marched her way right over to Porlyusica's place and knocked on the door rapidly. Her eye appeared in the peep hole before Maki spoke up.
"Please open up, I'm having a crisis."
The pink haired lady contemplated her decision before opening up.
Maki stormed in and sat down.
"We have a problem." Maki stated.
"And what may that be?" Porlyusica asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Maki said standing up. "I grew!!" She exclaimed.
"So?"
"So, I haven't even grown 3 inches between the ages eleven and fifteen, and now I miraculously grew two and a half inches over the course of a few days!" Maki said clearly freaked out.
"Hmm." Porlyusica said staring at the girl.
"I think I understand now." She said nodding her head, "This is most likely related to your incident."
"But... how?" Maki said with a painfully confused look.
"I believe that your magic seal stayed the way it was for so long due to the fact that your body directed all of its energy and focus on keep that seal closed." The healer inhaled before continuing, "Since you're body was so focused on that, I don't think it really payed attention to the rest of yourself, such as growth and illness. Did you ever notice as a child you got sick for longer than others?" Porlyusica asked.
"Yeah."
"Mhm. So what I believe is happening to you, is that your body is extremely behind on growth physically, due to its energy being used toward the seal. Now that it's gone, it can finally focus on making sure you grow properly. I guess your body is growing at a more rapid rate to catch up with how you would be, if you hadn't had that hidden seal." The woman concluded.
"So... that means..." Maki mumbled shocked.
"Yes. The reason you're so short, or petite, is because of that damn seal. Now that it's gone, you're magic and body will grow at a rapid rate to catch up. So be cautious, it may be an incredibly painful and uncomfortable situation." Porlyusica warned.
"Thank you so much, I will." Maki said as she began to walk out the house.
"And one more thing, child."
"Yes?"
"You have no idea what the extent of your full power is, so please be careful around others and while practicing magic in general."
"Understood. Thank you so much again." Maki said waving back at the old lady.

Maki made her way though the guild doors and immediately went over the Romeo's table.
"Hey. Hey Romeo look alive." Maki poked the boy. He slowly looked up at the girl and looked into her eyes.
"Wanna see something cool?" She asked.
The boy nodded. Maki stood up next to the table and said, "Ok stand up Romeo."
He obeyed and stood up. It took him a few seconds until it hit him.
"Woah wait! You- you grew!" He exclaimed.
"Mhm. Now sit down and let me explain."
For the first time in years it seemed the two of them were both excited about something.
Maybe, something good would come out of all this. ______________________________ hey again
