"Hm... Have I always looked like this?" I question to myself, noticing a pretty drastic change in muscle mass. I'm taller than I was before, and seem more masculine. Perhaps the system triggered a weirdly sudden growth spurt even though I'm 17.

"Something wrong, (Y/N)?" Ruby asks, poking her head into the bathroom since the door was wide open.

"It's nothing."

Ruby stares at me as the realization hits her. "You've grown so much since getting to beacon, haven't you?"

"Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. It feels like my semblance has some weird side effect. That or it took me until now to finally have a huge growth spurt. Not sure why it happened now, though."

Ruby giggles. "I think it makes you look great." She says, eyeing me up and down from behind my back. "Not that you weren't good looking before!" She adds on.

"You flatter me too much, Ruby." I say, patting her head a bit. "Now c'mon, we have some training to do before that lunch you wanted to take me to."
