Seems to me that the 'spell' was more to boost his confidence that he could do something so that she could teach him rather than actually doing anything to him.
Time is a huge factor in the resilience of the human body.

i think a re-read is in order for you here, Hayate did comment on how his body felt a lot lighter right after Athena cast the spell. Also dont even start trying to question her magic at this stage of the story because it has already been stated by Isumi as well about how Midas was able to get great strength by drawing Athena's ability to unlock potentials.
As well as controlling Shirosakura's power to strengthen Machina. So yes, she did cast a spell on Hayate that time, he felt the change himself and there were immediately obvious improvements on his skills as a butler since then.
