《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 27 - Sensory Skills
Advertisement
I think back to previous fights, how I always won by the skin of my teeth and luck. If I did not go to the Dragon Slayer section back in the beginning up against the Blue Mist Dragon I may have died, I looked through the Blue Mist section and it is mainly history, I would have died. in the Dragon Slayer section I picked the only book that told you how to use the techniques and managed to win by 1 HP. and because I picked the Dragon Slayer section I also was able to train with Verod, and get this strong, I was able to meet Eron and Meeting Kate to begin with was amazing, however It is mainly just luck, I cant yet prevent things from going wrong, I feel like there have been things that went horribly wrong but I cant remember them well, if I had better sensory skills I assume I could avoid them or at least prevent most things before they happen, maybe even become better at fighting. with that in mind when I wake up I will develop as many sensory skills as possible.
I feel that pull again, the pull or regaining consciousness, it feels like there is more to it however I still don't understand, when I wake up I am still on the sofa, however curled up against me are two beautiful females that I fought in a duel yesterday. they using me as a pillow. they both look cute when they are like this.
"Master... love you..." Eron said. still sleeping. I got up and so as not to disturb them I entered Hidden, Kate woke up instantly and looked around for me. but then noticed I was gone sat on the sofa.
"John, you idiot, you had two girls sleeping on you, and you do nothing" Kate said in a disappointed voice and turned to Eron. "Wake up, it didn't work" Kate said and Eron got up and looked around, I give up on guessing what they were expecting me to do and use Blink Step to visit the top of the building. I then enter a meditation and project my Mana throughout the entire Academy, I could see everything clearly however ran out of Mana very quickly. however it was not all for nothing, I am summoning someone with great sensory abilities.
"What was that burst of energy about?" Michael said. when it comes to sensory skills he is the man to go to. I looked at him with pleading eyes. note, yes eyes, I can use Eyes Of A Barrier passively now so both eyes are open.
[Eyes Of A Barrier Advanced: you can activate this skill to prevent damage to the eyes at the cost of your eyes also being unable to hurt others. costs 50 Mana]
"you need sensory skills" he said and I nodded, "the library only had theory books and not skill books" he added and I nodded. "and you want me to give you skill books or teach you the basics" he said finally and I nodded, he summoned a few books from his inventory and gave them to me before leaving. while I wait for my Mana to come back I absorb the books.
[Senses Mastery: your senses become stronger by 5%, percentage increases with skill Level and Wisdom]

[Sight Advanced: you can now see through objects, see in Heat vision, see in Night vision and see with x-ray vision. costs 50 Mana per second]
[Elemental Eye: you can now place an eye on any object and see through it like a normal eye. costs 100 Mana Per second]
[Greater Hearing: You can now hear even a whisper clearly as long as it is within 20 metres]
[Echo Location: based on sound and vibrations and can grasp a 3d model of the world even with your eyes shut]
[Psychokinesis: the ability to move objects with Mental power alone, costs Mana and stamina to use. gets stronger based on wisdom, Stamina and skill level]
with these skills I can do so much, wait, when was Psychokinesis used for sensing? oh well, maybe he has it already or cant use it so he gave it to me. either way. with this I am happy with my senses. as I look around me I can see so much more clearly, ha, I can even see Michael getting lectured by Lin Ren. ha. he is a true masochist. I can see so much, feel so much. this is epic.
I Blink Step back into the academy and realise I can hear so much, people that are not even near me are talking so clearly, I can sort through all the voices and listen in to all of them at the same time. Kate and Eron and talking with each other about the meaning of my sword? Michael being lectured, Conner humming away to himself in his office. wait anyone can hear that, the school Inter Com is on, he is humming to everyone, the prince Lavlus the third was talking with his personal priest Paul. I feel like I fought them before but I cant remember where or why. I heard so much and it felt so natural.
I am happy with my new sensory abilities, I was about to move when I felt Detect Bloodlust activate. someone was right behind me about to kill me, I Blink Step 3 meters forward and turn around. nothing? my senses show nothing... I felt someone there with enough Bloodlust the scare me a bit, someone was about to kill me. that or my ability broke, because both options are bad I go see Conner about it, however. again, I felt it however instead of evading I counter, I use Psychokinesis to hold them still. I turn around to see.
[Ninja]
[Level 13,000]
[Nina Shell]
It was a girl. she was dressed in dark blue Cloth with some light chainmail that was designed not to make a sound and a metal headband. she was small, however her stat screen said she was older then me, 19 years old. I then life her higher into the air and ask the obvious questions.
"Nina Shell, why are you trying to kill me?" After that she stops moving ans looks at me like I was a monster from under the bed. what happened? I keep a serious expression while using psychokinesis to disarm her from all 13 daggers 1 sword and a bow with 12 arrows. I put all of it in my inventory she looks scared but wont talk.
"If you don't talk I will ask Conner what you are doing" I say and she looks confused before she realises I mean the Headmaster. she then goes pale.

"Please no" She said while crying, "I only wanted to kill you, I promise" She said crying. oh you ONLY want to kill me... no big deal then.... yea I think I heard right she did just say that. I remove her face mask and see a human face behind it, she was still crying. black hair tied into twin tails, yellow eyes, around 4 foot 7 inches. flat chest, skinny in general. yep I know people who have killed for less. that is a loli. no doubt. and my charm is already taking affect, my senses are telling me this much.
"and why do you want to kill me?" I asked and she went red. god damn it charm stat. it just jumped from 315 to 386. I feel like it is about to happen.
"Because those two girls stole you from me" she said with an embarrassed expression. and DO I HEAR FOUR? another added to the collection, I already hear Conner laughing as he watches this unfold using a crystal, however the Academy Intercom being on everyone hears him laughing.
"they stole me from you? I don't remember seeing you before" I said and she blushed... a secret admirer? and a Ninja loli? this cant be happening... nope all my senses are pointing to this happening right now. a cute loli who is somehow older them me, I am now 17. having to deal with this is just to much on a teenage boy, I put her down and let her go after placing a marker on her.
[Mana Marker: you can mark a target and be able to find them as long as they are within one of your senses. costs 500 Mana initially and 10 Mana per second]
sure enough she tries to hide however it does nothing about the marker. she then runs off so slowly and then returns with... a butter knife, she then stabs me with it... poor butter knife... after 5 minuets of blunting the butter knife she then gives up and falls to her knees, I feel sorry for her, she is so small and cute and hopeless. I crouch down in front of her and smile. "I have not been stolen by anyone, I am something of a exception, but you should ask Kate and Eron how they sorted it." With that I get up and leave, she then vanishes again, this time I remove the marker as to give her privacy to do what she wants, and she does. she appears out of nowhere and leaves...
[Charm has reached 400, a new skill has been added]
[Loving Aura: as normal people can be scared of your aura however anyone with an attraction to you will only have there attraction strengthened]
... you know, it is slightly embarrassing to have my strongest stat be charm. however if people are not scared of me that is good right? oh god I am becoming a Harem King. and I cant stop it as removing stats is impossible. I then decide to go to the cafeteria and I walk there normally. then I see a certain Loli Ninja named Nina fighting Kate and Eron. she looks to be wining but it is a close match, I use Hidden and leave before I am noticed. however Michael who spots me subtly grabs me by the arm and teleports us. "HOW? you have three already. how do you do it?" Michael asked me almost complaining.
"Charm Stat" I said and he dropped to his knees. his hopes crushed, then a manly tear roles down his face. "I cant control it so I cant help you there, however I still need to be careful or else I would be signing my own death warrant." I added and he nodded. still jealous however he can now see the cons that go with the pros. he then teleported us back and I walked into the room and made lunch for three and I use Healing Magic on it to regenerate HP and MP. surely enough after around 5 minuets all three enter the room, Nina looking happy. they all sit down and eat.
"John, I won, I won, I am apart of your Harem now" Nina said causing Eron and Kate to choke a bit, embarrassed for it to be said aloud. I my self felt the same however I was thinking to much to show it. after eating they sat me down and then ranted at me for about an hour, it took me some time to explain my Charm stat however once they understood it they calmed down. until Eron asked the question that should not be asked.
"Does that mean your Harem will be growing?" Eron said innocently, I shrugged my shoulders. I hope not? it would be a pain to have to many girls, however with how it is going I assume I will only get a generic Harem set out from the Charm ability. maybe this will be it?
After that the girls proceeded in talking for a bit. mainly about me being an idiot. after that they went to sleep, Nina noticed something. "Don't we sleep with him?" she said while pointing at me, Kate went red thinking about this morning. Eron just flew over to me and slept on me. "No fair it was my idea" Nina said while diving at me. and Kate joined shortly after. I just gave up on complaining, charm stat is going to charm and I had to deal with it.
[saving... the game has been saved]
I wake up and my senses expand, Eron is still sleeping on me. Kate is in the gaming area. Nina is... somewhere? I gently place Eron sleep on the sofa and not me. Kate spots me but remembered what happened last time we played a game together and soon ignored me. I went to the door and leave however Nina came out of nowhere and took a goodbye kiss before vanishing again, Eron woke up and did the same before sleeping on the sofa again. Kate looked like she wanted one so using Blink Step I gave her one and then exited with Blink Step... and with this. I head on to the library to read some books I have not read yet.
