EDIT: Realized i made a mistake with the amount of MP she had with her title as the goddesses apprentice active.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The trolls roared and charged me still covered in the blood of the fae elite. The leader and who i assumed was the alpha of their little group, came running at me frothing at the mouth in anticipation of its next meal when another smaller but faster troll leaps forward to steal the kill.
"Fuck off" i say.
I swing my left hand in a fierce uppercut that collides with the trolls face causing a shock wave to roll throughout the arena and send the troll flying through the air . The 2nd and 3rd troll come at me gnashing their teeth and baring their fangs. I swiftly dispose of the 2nd with a roundhouse kick sending it flying into the side of the arena and cracking the stone wall. I bring my hand up aiming for the 3rd and activate Ice cannon Mk.2 LV1(Active) and a piece of ice the size of a bowling ball comes out of my palm at supersonic speeds. The frozen projectile hits the troll in the upper shoulder nearly taking the entire arm off but largely misses. Unfortunately it narrowly missed the dwarven adviser asshole who i definitely wasn't aiming for. Although to damage a troll at this level...as expected of the work of a goddess.
The first three trolls are all on the ground incapacitated and i'm not even breaking a sweat. The alpha and the last one, who has a nasty scar stretching from its eye all the way down to its chest, are now wary and don't see me as easy prey anymore. Scarface seeing what i did to it's friends bellows in anger and bounds towards me determined to devour me.
"They never learn" i sigh.
I grab the crystal sword i packed on my back when i was in the ready room and slash downward at the incoming troll. The sword passes clean through and bisects the troll in two pieces that go flying past me, unfortunately now i am covered in green troll blood and the crystal sword is full of cracks and fractures. It’s hot, sticky and now i want a shower so let's finish this up quick. The alpha troll is glaring at me and the other 3 are getting back up. The one that got its shoulder nearly blasted off is growling and starts circling me too which the other trolls join in.
The arena is full of cheers and shouts as the trolls and i face off against each other. The first to break the showdown is the alpha who roars and all of them rush me at the same time. I activate Ice Slick LV1(Active) and jump high into the air. The arena becomes covered in a layer of ice reducing the traction of the attacking trolls. Unprepared for the change in terrain the trolls and fumble and slip on the ice and collide in a pile right underneath me.
I cast ice bomb and a swirl of pale blue light forms in front of me, wait didn’t she say don’t be near it.The light blue swirl solidifies into a spiky ball of ice the size of a basketball with a little green light coming out of it and the green light turns red and starts flashing.
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck!” I say to myself panicked. Why did i choose this spell again?
I toss the ball at the pileup of trolls, close my eyes and brace for the worst. After a second there was a huge BOOM and a wave of bitter cold and the desolate, hopeless feeling of an unending barren winter assaulted my senses just for a moment. I squeeze my eyes shut and curl into a ball in mid air and go into a free fall back towards the frozen arena. I hit the floor and go sliding across the slick floor until i hit something that feels a lot like a wall. I try to open my eyes but find them frozen shut from the blast and resort to rubbing them with my palms until i can open them and what i found was...astonishing.
The entire coliseum including all the audience and the private boxes are frozen not to mention the trolls. There is a huge ice crystal in the middle of the coliseum that has many densely packed crystal ice formations coming out of everywhere. I look around to find my cloak is gone and for some reason i see it’s impaled on one of the...very sharp ice crystals...very close to where i fell…
I know the gods are probably pissed and want to send a message but seriously! Message received. I quickly scramble up the ice tower and grab my cloak and put it back on to hide my glowing right arm and leg. The arena of deathly quiet which can probably be attributed to the ice freezing the audience as well. I head over to the the trolls and knock on the ice while waiting for the audience to thaw themselves out. The trolls are of course all frozen and the remains of the bisected one and stuck to the ground. Even though the ice spells were meant to peacefully settle this i’m ok with killing a few trolls.
Eventually i start hearing the crackle of fires and heat radiates off the crowd as a team of fae elites manages to break in through the public entrance with some flaming swords. There's five of them, all armed with swords wreathed in flames, and all looking around in shock and awe at their surroundings.
“By the gods...what happened?!” said a bearded looking around jaw open and eyes wide.
They were all looking at the center of the stadium where the trolls are just frozen. For them a Forest trolls are a formidable enemy but for me their as harmless as internet trolls. The referee is freed by one of the elites and looks around incredulously and then looks and stares at me.
“Um...so i guess the next round is postponed?”
_________________________________
Six hours later everyone was freed from the ice and nobody was hurt well...except for the troll who had to be carted off by some officials to be thawed in a safe environment. I was sent back to my quarters and found the maid girl just as she was about to go and sell the boar bone. I told her to go to the shop that i went to earlier to talk to the old man about where to sell the bone and then i just had to wait. I sent the pixie clone to go do some recon and found out that everyone present in the arena had been given the gag order and made to swear an oath of silence. Apparently the princess really didn’t want any of her sibling getting wind of what happened. I’m fairly sure that the dwarf and the other adviser, Garion i think, both have now had a healthy bowl of my favorite cereal, ‘Don’t. Fuck. With. Me. Additionally the princess seems convinced of my ability so thats a plus. The only reason i want to get closer to her if because she has access to the material i need and as long as i’m in her good graces i can work in the capital without fear.
“Well mostly” i thought thinking back to the the newly demolished statue.
The official story is that some a couple of drunk nobles trying to see how many times they could buff a war horse before it exploded when it broke out of its stable and took off through the capital you know just your average cover story. The real report was nobody could tell what the speeding object was whether it be fae, beast or machine and the fae whose neck i snapped earlier reported nothing more than suspicions of a rebel plot.
The combination of a disturbance not far from the palace and me blowing up the arena are way too conspicuous. There's no way that well anyone would not connect the two together and i can only guess what the princess is thinking. On top of that the whole capital felt the explosion i’m just glad that the coliseum was underground and not outside in plain view so everyone could witness the creation of their brand new ice skating rink. The arena will be fixed and my match resumed after wards but still it was kind of embarrassing to tell the a half frozen princess sorry for blowing up your coliseum. That aside the ice goddess has been talking in my ear about how i could have used the spells better and just in general berating again.
“You just had to go and drop the Ice bomb, you couldn’t have just used a fireball or something. Thanks to you the whole Pantheon probably knows i’m your pet by now.” she berated me in my head.
“Hey, i wanted to play and your ice spells seemed like fun so i’m sorry but it is true you are my pet.” I replied.
“Stupid mortal, Do you insist on embarrassing me every chance you get.”
After a while i just tuned her out as best as anyone who has a vice in their head can. Now that i think about that though doesn’t that mean i’m going crazy? Oh well, wouldn’t be the most surprising thing to happen this week. I am now just sitting in the room waiting for a summons or something while doing more meditation. After a while it gets boring so assign my stat points i got from my level up and was going to inspect my new skill tree, something happened.

I rounded off most of my stats at 300 but when i tried to add more into INT to increase my mana pool size the menu wouldn’t respond. I tried putting the points into WIS but it wouldn't go higher either, same with STR and AGI. I thought it might have been a bug so when i closed the menu to see if i could restart it a new notification popped up.
Racial potential maxed
Due to racial limitations of [Beastmen] stats cannot be increased further.
Evolution is now possible(See Menu).
Holy Shit! Does that mean i'm more powerful than humanly--well beastmanly possible. I have more stat points than i can possibly spend. Evolution though...what does that mean? I reopen my menu and find a blinking option that says evolution. I open it and another notification pops up.
Evolution
Due to racial constraints being reached evolution will be granted.
Once evolved stat limit will be increased.
WARNING: All levels will be consumed upon evolution.
Y/N
“…”
It doesn’t even say what i’ll evolve into although having the stat limit raised would be nice. But Consuming all my levels! I worked for 10 years to get those levels and to just give them up in one go! My heart isn’t prepared for that, but i also want to find out more about evolution. The Kyanu didn’t say anything about evolution nor did i learn anything about it during the 10 years i've studied under her. I mostly learned how to speak various languages, magic systems, national traditions and current political viewpoints. Strictly speaking i thought i was getting a pretty good education with it being focused on knowledge i might need instead of things like evolution. I was especially happy though when i found out i didn’t have a math class though.
The goddess hasn’t contacted me ever since i killed torrents boar pet thingy. Most likely case she took her own advice and is laying low until this whole thing blows over. Although now that i think about it blowing up an arena was also possibly the worst thing i could have done, you know on top of plowing through the capital.
The notification is still hovering in my face when i come to a decision.
“You know what, Fuck it. Let's see what happens.” i say to no one in particular.
I painstakingly press the Y option and the notification flashes away replaced by another.

There was a flash of light and my body felt like it was melting. I felt like i was in the center of the sun turning to charcoal and then regenerating back to normal over and over and over again. I fell to the floor in pain clenching my hands and gnashing my teeth. They didn't mention it was going to fucking this much hurt! The whole world seemed to spin for a moment and then spiral out of control before i passed out.

I’m being shaken awake by someone.
“Mistress! Mistress! Are you OK. I next time you fall asleep please allow me to personally make arrangements for your bed! No, i should have done that yesterday! Mistress please punish this worthless servant for her thoughtlessness.”
I open my eyes and am greeted by the sight of Silva kowtowing to me. I’m in my bed naked...again...I've lost track of how many times I've woken up and found myself missing all clothing. After i sit up and get her up off the ground i tell her to explain what happened.
“Well mistress you sent me to go to the blacksmith shop to talk to the owner about selling the artifact. So i went at once and when i reached the shop there was no one there. I looked around and couldn’t find anyone so i took the liberty of leaving a message on the counter and brought your artifact back. Upon my return i found you lying on the ground covered in sweat so immediately took you to the bath house, washed you and brought you here to rest. Mistress i sincerely apologize about your sleeping arrangements. I request that you punish this useless servant.” she said while going back to kowtowing.
Why did i get such a weird servant? Why am i talking like enslaving a maid girl is something normal!? Wait why is Geralds shop empty? He lives in the shop with his granddaughter. Where did they go?
I’m pondering all these things in my head when i realize...something didn’t feel right. I feel around my body for a moment going wide eye in the process.
“Silva! I need a mirror. I need a mirror. Gimme something shiny right now!”
