Percy put the DVD in and turned the TV on. The DVD was a total of 6 hours, Percy obviously didn't have the time for that, so he just fast forwarded this one as well. He payed attention to everything performed, not one skill was left out of his sight, he saw and understood everything that was being done. Often times it was a slow process as the instructors would constantly repeat what they were doing, but Percy didn't let it bother him too much.
One and a half hours passed by and Percy say down on his bed, the documentary was finally over. He had seen all of it, all 6 hours worth of videos he crammed into a short time frame and......he was disappointed to say the least.
This form of karate as.....well, it was basically shit. It may have been about combat before but now it is watered down to simple showboating. It featured 20% combat, 40% shouting and 40% dancing. No, wait, not dancing, kata's yeah, that's what it's called, a Kata. Please note the sarcasm.
It seems Wado-ryu karate was basically just for self defence/showing off at competitions. These things called katas were basically a combo move that people could use in a fight, but they were just so boring! It was basically dancing!
Ping!
You have learnt a new skill through watching someone via your photographic reflexes!
Martial arts, LV-X
A series of movements that can cause harm or protect the user.
Attack — Number of combo moves + STR + VIT + DEX
Combo moves available:
52 (Wado-ryu)
Style: Wado-ryu, Rank— Black belt 1
+2 Dex while performing these moves
Percy raised an eyebrow. The most notable bonus of this skill is the +2 Dex, but the combo's are also nice......though they don't really seem to make any sense. Percy knew them all, but they were all so ridge and complex, it didn't make any sense on how they could be used for practical combat.
'Maybe I should test this out,' Percy groaned as he channeled mana into his jewel and summoned Zed.
The sword's man bowed, "master."
"Hey Zed. I need you to help me out with my training" Percy told him. The servant lifted his blade ready to attack Percy, "no, this time we don't' use our weapons, just our hands."
Zed nodded as he laid his sword next to the wall as he and Percy faced off each other. Percy waved his hands and pushed all the furniture to the side giving them more space to move. Percy lifted his arms up, and widened his legs to his shoulders' length. He put his left hand up vertically and drew his right back, this was the basic stance for Wado-ryu.
"Begin," Percy spoke. Zed charged forward and swung at Percy's head. The demigod blocked with his left hand and punched with his right. Since his still had his seals on it didn't do much damage, but Zed was still sent backwards.
Zed made to move again but Percy was on him. He moved his feet two steps at a time, they spun around and Percy sent a back kick knocking Zed back which he followed with a one two punch combo rattling Zed's helmet.
Zed then kicked back, trying to push Percy off, but Percy's reflexes were so fast he caught it before it landed. Zed sent a punch that almost caught Percy in the chest, but in the last moment Percy blocked it with one arm and twisted the one around Zed's leg.
"Shit!" Zed cried out as he mule kicked Percy backwards.
Percy moved back and rubbed his sore abdomen, Zed still had his super strength and Percy was right now not using his own. Zed got up on his feet and began wailing on Percy.
Gamer's mind activated and Percy began to calmly block and counter Zed's hits. Percy moved faster and faster letting his body take over as he reacted before thinking. Percy then went on the offencive.
He punched Zed in the head and knocked him backward. He punched his abdomen and then putted his shin. Zed fell on his back;
Body Form Activated: Right and Left Arms
Percy jumped up and activated Body Form as he brought both fists down crushing Zed into smoke once more.
Martial Arts combo's used: 8!
Attack— 8 X 1.5 X 100 X 50 = 62,500!
Percy grinned, he finally understood why this was so awesome. Just because the combos were in a particular order when he learnt them didn't mean Percy was stuck with that. It was like a piece of code, or an application. Percy could pick and choose which one he want to use, in no particular order.
That meant the more styles and techniques he learnt the more combos he knew and the more unpredictable the became. This could be the it, the difference between just fighting and winning. Most Godly beings used brute force to fight, that was why Percy could even think about taking them on. But now....now Percy had an advantage, he had a card up his sleeve.
Percy giggled, he actually giggled. He could wait to learn more. He really wanted to spam his Photographic reflexes skill to the max so he quickly took out the karate instruction disk and searched for something else to learn.
Percy eventually selected a DVD about how to sow, it wasn't much, but hey it could hurt to have an extra skill on stand by right? After all it's better to have something and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
He put the DVD in and just as Percy was about to curl up in his bed when his cabin door was thrown open as the majority of Percy's male friends, Michael, the Stoll brothers, Lee, Charles, Peter and Malcolm walked in.
Percy raised an eyebrow, "can I help you guys?"
"Holy shit she was right," Michael said looking at Percy's newly installed TV, "you do have one!"
Percy looked surprised, "what do you mean?" The boys ignored his question as the all walked in as the started jumping on the bed.
"Okay what is going on here?" Percy asked as he looked around, "why the Hades is everyone here?!"
Michael looked through all the DVD's Percy had while he spoke up, "well you see Travis and Conner overhead Thalia mention you bought a TV and a DVD player, so we all thought we should come over and watch a movie. By the way all the movies you have here suck."
Percy raised an eyebrow, " well I happen to think they are very educational Michale."
"You mean boring," Michael looked through them all reading their titles, "Carpentry. Karate. How to Garden? Holy shit man! All of these are so fuckign boreing!"
Percy sighed, "I happen to like them. They are very educational."
Travis and Conner grinned, "well Percy, we have something that is equally educational.," Travis exclaimed.
"Yup, very educational, and very fun," Conner commented in an excited tone.
"Really? Is this going to be like the last time we watched a movie?" Percy asked recalling the time they watched American Pie together.
Lee grinned, "maybe."
The guys in the cabin looked at Percy who sighed, "fine, but if anyone of you mention a word of this to anyone, and I especially mean Thalia, you are all dead. Got it?"
Travis waved Percy's question away, "yeah yeah, got it. We won't tell you girlfriend about how you are secretly a closet pervert that likes to watch pronos."
Percy grumbled, "at least I have a girlfriend, and no Travis, your right hand doesn't count."
The other boys recognized the insult immediately as even Conner startled to heckle his brother.
"There there Travis, I'm sure you'll get a girlfriend soon," Michael assured him, "now, let's watch some movies!"
Percy sighed, "fine, do you at least have a movie to watch?"
Connor nodded as he took out a DVD case from somewhere, Percy could never figure out where Conner hides his stuff.
The DVD was titled 'Backdoor Sluts 9' and it featured very sexy petite black haired porn star by the name Sasha Grey on the cover wearing next to nothing.
Conner grinned, "you are going to love this one."
Percy's eyes widened, "dude! That's an actually porno!"
Michael nodded eagerly, "yup. We could never play it on the projector in the Hermes cabin, to many little kids there, not to mention the girls. So when we heard that you not only had your own TV and an empty cabin...."
"No way! Thalia is going to kill man!" Percy yelled out in horror as a mental image of Thalia frying him with multiple lighting bolts.
"Relax Percy," Lee told him, "we promise not to tell her anything."
Charles nodded, "this is our secret."
Percy gulped, "guys..."
"Look at this Percy," Travis shoved the DVD into Percy's hands, "look at her. I swear she must be related to Aphrodite somehow!"
Percy gulped as he looked at the pron star on the cover. She didn't have any big 'assets' per say, but from all the images seen on the DVD of the video inside she more than made up for that with enthusiasm.
Percy gulped, he had never seen so much spit outside of a person's mouth. And to think all of that came from something so small.
'Please forgive me Thalia,' Percy gulped, "o-okay. Put it on."
"YES!" they cheered.
"Keep it down!" Percy snapped, "somebody close the damn blinds! I don't' want people peeping inside!"
"Sir yes sir!" Michael yelled out as he did just that. Conner quickly put the DVD inside Percy's new player and they all sat back and watched as Sasha Grey entertained them for the next hour.
One Hour Later;
All the boys had their legs crossed as they sat a feet away from each other.
"That was......" Percy started.
"Yeah...." Michael nodded.
"Do you think all girls like being treated like that?" Travis asked.
"You mean like a literal rag doll?" Lee asked.
Travis nodded and Charles replied, "no, I don't' think so. I think Miss Grey is....special in this case."
"I didn't know the human body could bend like that," Conner said as looked at the black TV screen, "and I didn't realise that dicks could be that......big."
The boys nodded silently. Michael spoke up first, "I need to go."
"Me too," Travis said as they all started to leave one by one heading towards the bathroom or a private place.
Percy used his telekinetic powers to close the door without even getting up, he probably had it the worst of them all. He kept imagining him and doing what he saw in the prono. Needless to say Percy wasn't going to get up any time soon.
'I really hope this doesn't awaken anything in me,' Percy thought to himself as he looked at the two new skills he gained from watching the porno via his Photographic reflexes.

Percy closed the box before his eyes laid eyes on the last skill. When he watched that video he learnt everything, and yes, everything. Percy didn't want to think about, didn't want to even acknowledge that he is in possession of said skill. As far as he was concerned it is something that he will never speak of. No one will know of this skill, no one, ever.
Percy was glad Thalia knew about his Photographic reflexes or else he would have to explain why he was so good at sex considering he has never done it before.
In the end Percy was grateful for the new skills, it would make life so much more easier. And hopeful Thalia won't kill him when she finds out.
Next day;
The next morning Percy had received an Iris message from the Collector. He told Percy that he had a plot ready for him, one which he believed Percy would love.
He told Percy took meet up at Sag Harbor, which was just a few short miles away from camp. Percy was nervous, the way the man spoke almost seems like he knew where camp was, but then again he was an immortal and the camp's locations wasn't really a great secret or anything.
So Percy meet up with the man as requested, meeting him at the docks at 12.
Percy walked up to the Collector who waited for him on a very comfortable looking motor boat.
"Are we going anywhere?" Percy asked the man.
"You'll see," he said as he sat down in the passenger seat.
Percy raised an eyebrow, "you want me to drive?"
"You're a son of Poseidon aren't you?"
Percy shrugged as he got into the boat, if this was a trap or something like that, Percy would atleast have homefield advantage. Percy started the boat with a snap of his fingers as he seamlessly connected with the spirit of the sea and all that was on and in it.
Percy carefully took the boat out onto open waters, "where are we going?"
"You'll see," The Collector simply replied, "just head Eastwards, and don't stop."
Percy sighed and did just that. With Percy boosting up their speed, the small motor boat had reached Gardiner's bay in a few minutes. Soon they could even see Gardiner's island in the distance when suddenly the Collector spoke up,
"There," he said pointing to the island, "that is where we need to go."
Percy was surprised by said nothing as he simply streamed the boat towards said island. Percy found a small port near the coast of the island where he carefully guided and anchored the motor boat.
"Tell me Percy," the Collector began, "what do you know about this island?"
Percy shrugged, "nothing really."
The Collector nodded, "it is to be expected. Well then let me tell you about this island. The island has been owned by the Gardiner family and their descendants for nearly 400 years, and it is the only American real estate still intact as part of an original royal grant from the English Crown."
The Collector climbed out of the boat and Percy followed suit. They walked out of the port and saw a car waiting for them with a female chauffeur greeting them with a wave;
Carol Dadeda, Caretaker of the Island
Lv-8
The woman was young, she should be around her late 20's or so. She greeted them both as the Collector and Percy got on sitting in the back. She got behind the wheel and began to drive them away.
"It is 3 miles wide and has a 27 miles long coast line," the Collector spoke as he looked out at the passing countryside, "it was given to the Gardiner family to possess forever, but due to a series of unfortunate events the last direct living member of the Gardiner family died a few years ago."
Percy shot the Collector a look for which the man laughed, "I had nothing to do with that, I assure you. But, the case remains, this land was passed onto the man's closest relative, who cannot afford to maintain this place. And so I bought it from her."
