It was a calm morning in the village. The birds singing, the flowers were blooming, (guess the reference). At the clearing near the fields, children were playing with each other. They were playing tag-infect-run game. The chaser would try to touch the other players. The players that got touched will be the sub-chaser, so the amount of the chaser would increase within time. If the last player couldn't be touched within 30 minutes, the last player won. And if the last player touched, the one who touched her/him would be the winner.
With these rules, the last player would be troubled by all the chaser.
....Or so it would have been.
Within the group of children. There was a girl who.... a bit different from the others. How much different? Well, she ran around the field, shrugged off the swarm of chaser around her, and even got them to crashed each other. The biggest problem is, she was smiling cheerfully, she didn't even drop a sweat.
And... she didn't open her eyes either.
....
....
Thirty-minutes have passed. They were not even close to touch her, not even once. The girl, Raina, smiled smugly at them and said,
"Eeehhhh, that's all you've got? I don't even have to try," she said while puffed her chest. She was nine years old now. Every years passed, she became more of a tomboy, even one couldn't easily figure that 'he' was a girl. She wore a brown fabric pants, a white t-shirt, and a brown leather vest. They were the ones that sold cheaply at some carriage that stopped by to do some brief trade. Her hair was cut short, the same messy model like her father. Her hair was easy to model after all. With all of that, plus her beautiful-pretty looking face and the mischievous smile that even make out her aura, she looked exactly like some rebellious, pretty looking boy.
"Raina, you know you're not normal, right?" one of the boys said wryly. He had a... quite handsome-cute looking face, dark-brown hair, and a body that was a bit tall for his age, about 135 centimeters? With his features, one could see the future where this young boy becomes an eye-catching figure.
"Bah! Cayn, It's me who's abnormaly strong or it's just you are too weak?" she said with a stern expression, but one could hear the teasing in her tone.
"Tch, Of course the first one, you training maniac," he muttered the last sentence lowly, but not enough as a certain someone had trained her senses over the limit.
*SMACK
"Say that again and I'll hit your sorry guts," she said with a gentle smile, the smile not reaching her eyes though. Dark aura started to emitting from her. Like mother, like daughter. The gentle voice carried a ton of oppressiveness that could make even a grown-up man stuttered.
"Don't... say.... that after... you... literally hit me..... on the guts," Cayn said, still laid on the ground while holding his stomach. The other boys laughed at their conversation. Clearly, they had been used to all the weirdness around her.
....
....
The first time they met her was a year ago. Back then, they were very irritated of her and clearly hostile to her. Every time they met her, they always challenged her into fights. They were always like dogs and cat. Of course, every time they challenged her, they always went out black and blue.
And after a very much kick to their sorry a*ses, maybe out of fear, brotherhood, or whatever mental problems caused by the punches, they started to get close to her, and even befriended her. Well, maybe that was not the right way to see it. She could clearly see the admiration and the respect in their gaze, which made her a bit uncomfortable. Maa, I don't mind it though, less annoying brats for me. She thought.
And after that, once or twice a week, they always asked her for training. Well, it was only a fun game for her though.
....
....
The sun had reached the top, it was almost midday. Raina prepared to go home, to do some of tor-housechores her mother assigned her for. She waved at the boys, She just started to run when Cayn called out to her.
"Hey, tomorrow, are you in?" he asked.
"Nah~, I have my own training to attend," at the mention of this, he seemed a little down. She chuckled, "If you're that willing to go trainig with me, why don't join me instead?" she asked.
Hearing her offer, Cayn and the boys faces went pale as paper sheet. Of course, they had attended to ther trainjng once, ONCE!!! And at every part of the training, they always left their mouths agape and thought, Human? No, don't trick us. She's a monster!!
"N-no! Thanks for the offer though," Cain replied, his smile twitching. "A-anyways, you must go home right now, aren't you? Bye! See you next time!!" he talked, hurriedly, while pushing her out of the clearing.
"Hey! Why don't we g-mmfffhh," one of the boy asked, but smothered by the boy beside him, the boy dragged to the back of the group.
Raina didn't notice this, because she was thinkinng about how to absent from her mother tort-*cough wife training.
While running home, Raina checked her status. The absurd number for a child started appearing in front of her.

Title: {The Reincarnated One} {The One Who Break Limits} {Tomboy Bastard} {Friend of Mana}
....
In these past few years, she had a bit research about her status. She already grasped some conclusion from it.
Health or Hp, This was the same everywhere. When you got it to zero, you're dead.
Stamina, if you got it below ten percent, you gonna feel very tired, if you got it to zero, you would collapse immediately.
Mana, if you got it below gen percent, you would feel veery dizzy, if you got it to zero, same like stamina you would collapse immediately. The original amount of Mana Reserve were determined by talent, or something you called family genes. She assumed that the noble family would be naturally talended in magic, because they always kept the talent by marrying with other nobles. Maybe that was also why commoners were below the nobles.
Anyways, unlike the others, Mana reserve only increase by hard work, after using mana to below ten percent, the reserve would increase. If you used it until zero, it would increase exponentially. The risk while collapsing would be greater, though.
VIT or Vitality, it symbolized the defense capability of a person. By timing it with ten, you got the number of your Hp. If it increases, Hp's amount also increased, the speed of Hp recovery also increases with this status.
Next, Endurance. Well, pretty much the same as Vitality..... Mom and dad must have very much vitality.... hours and almost every day, and still can work until night again. If mother teach me till her stamina out.... she shuddered at the thought.
Agility or AGI, this basically applied to all the things that needed speed. Reaction speed, moving speed, etcetera. It also helped with thinking speed, because if you're faster than your enemies, you can get a headstart in your mind and actions.
Dexterity. Well, this was common one, it made you better and more efficient at your moves and skills. It made her muscle-shaping easier. It also helped her to focus her sense and vision better.
Magic Power or MPO, it made her magic more effective. It helped her to make her muscles denser. As for now, she only made her muscle denser only when the growth started to made them bulging. She only wanted a six-packs after all, not a whole body of bulging muscle.
Intelligence or INT, as the name described, it connected to the thinking speed, brain multitasking, memory skills, and of course, cleverness. This part of her status was so high because every time she trained her vision and every time she used her Muscle Control, she would focus very much that her Intelligence shot up. She practiced multitasking too, which made the growth even more absurd.
Charm or CHA, this was the one that would bring lots of trouble if goes up.
Luck or LUK, this was the only one that couldn't go up. Well, maybe there is a way, but she didn't have enough information.
Skills, everyone knew it, some sort of abilities of a person. It could be obtained by doing something repeatdly that made the same principal as muscle memory, or maybe some body adaptation to the environment. For example, the super cheat skill that she got.
Passive skill《Ageless (S)》
Your body is very full of mana. Heck, even your body started to produce mana itself. Your mana will never run out, hence your body will not age after you 20 years old.
Effects: - Mana recovery + +
- More Mana reserve the more
time you live
- Harder for your body to get
any disease.
Resistances, one of the result of body adaptation to things that dangerous for it.
Title, some reward for doing something that completes its requirement. Title gave some bonuses to those who got it. Some bonuses were great and some bonuses were.... well...... rubbish. For example, this title she got because she was a tomboy and a bit naughty.
{Tomboy Bastard (E)}
You always used trousers and t-shirts. Moreover, that mischievous attitude of yours are not female-like at all. Do you know how to be a proper female?!!
Effect: When using men clothes,
CHA +10
Well, some title did give some good stuff though, for example....
{Friend of Mana (SS)}
Your body constitution made you very close with mana. Your ability in magic are greatly benefited, even your mana can replace your stamina.
Effects: - Mana Control lv 10(Max)
- Reduct the amount mana used
For spells and skills by 50%

....
Well, that was it for the report!! I had already arrived at the front of my house!
I opened the door, put off my shoes, and ran to the kitchen. Mom was cooking as usual. Delicious smell lingering around the room as the sound of food sizzling could be heard. Seems like I arrived on time. I put the largest smile on my face and walked to mom.
"Mom, I'm home!!" I shouted while dive-hugging to her back, snuggling into her.
"Welcome home, sweety. Lunch's almost ready, call up your dad in the field, please," she smiled gently, combined with her beautiful face, her smile was blinding. I wondered, how did dad get himself such beautiful wife?
Maa... maybe that's for later to find out, I thought.
I went to the field and came back with dad right after. We had lunch like every day goes. Still the heart-warming atmosphere like usual too.
....
....
"There will be a subjugation tomorrow," Dad suddenly said. His tone sounded serious. I tilted my head, obvious confusion showing on my face. Mother stoppped eating, her expression was grim. I grew even more confused at this.
"How was it? Should the others know about this?" She asked, worriness folled her voice.
"No, I think no. Only a small group of goblins could be seen. Seems that they have no leader. We will gather a few men tomorrow," he said.
My ears perked up hearing the familiar word. Goblins? I mean, it's that goblin right?!! Goblin! Goblin! (A/N: Goblin Slayer Syndrome :v) I can't miss thjs chance!! I thought. Recently, my muscle training had made less and less progress. Maybe, I could get something like exp out of them!!! It's decided!! No one could stop me!!
"I want to-"
""No,""
"At least hear me out!"
""No."" I puffed my cheeks at their harmonious answer. Fine!! I'll go myself!! I can move freely without people anyways, I grinned at the thought. Unfortunately for me, mom read the expression on my face and said,
"My, my, if you ever think about going out alone, less food for a month, no morning training, more wife training," mom's gentle voice reached my ears, making me shuddered uconsiously. I turned my head to mom. She was smiling gently and calmly, but I could feel the rooms temperature had been dropped several degrees. I didn't dare to look at mom's eyes.
"Bu-bu-but, I-I will be f-fine, I-I'm stronger than other kids..... after all!" I managed to squezee that sentence out of my mouth. And maybe because of that, the tenperature rised a bit. Gaining a bit my courage, I spoke smugly, "And, I'm confident that most of people in this village can't beat me!" I puffed up my chest, clearly took pride of my achievements.
"Oh? Let's see then, you fight with your father. If you lose, no training again until you turn adult," mom seemed enjoying this, the room's temperature warmed a litttle.
"Then, if I win, I will paricipate in the hunting!!" I said. I would not take my words back after all. It was good for testing my power and prowess!!
"Then, I will remind you that your dad is one of the strongest men in the village. So if you back out, no one will laugh at you~," yup, mom enjoyed this at the fulliest. Maybe it was rare for duel in the village.....
"Of course no~t, let's see who will win, and who will lose," I said playfully, with defiant smile across my face. Well then, father, don't disappoint me, okay? I smirked again at the thought.
.....
.....
Thirty minutes till the duel began. Raina was preparing herself for the fight. She changed her training clothes to the one that she bought only for fights. A white T-shirt that she had the bottom-part cut, revealing her hardened, six-packed stomach. Paired with black short pants, which made her move more freely. And with her handsome-pretty face, she looked even more like stunning, young-man with a sturdy but slender body. The sight that could make young girl cried in excitement.
Pleased with the preparation, she went out her room. She ran, full of anticipation. She felt excited, how her first decent duel would go on.
