"¡Kyaaaa!" (Olivia)
Her back cracked quite loudly, though I wasn't sure if the scream was from pain or surprise.
"Oops, that sounded worse than I thought. I see—just because she's a mage doesn't mean her body is completely neglected. It looks like she has physical stats equivalent to a rank two, at least."
I noticed that her body was tougher and stronger than I'd originally thought. That led me to realize something about mages.
When I naturally leveled up as Astan, my physical stats increased slightly—by one or two points.
At first, I thought it was because I had a mixed profession and that had some influence, but now that I see Livvy, who is purely a mage, I think I know the real reason.
Even if the body isn't trained, following the path of a mage requires accumulating a large amount of mana, and—though it isn't a priority—the body improves enough to withstand that energy.
It's a passive stat boost.
"W-wait, what was that? Hyaa!" (Olivia)
Crack, crack!
