Percy wasn't a slouch thoug. He grinded that skill away as much as he could, it was difficult at first, almost impossible even. The fishes had a very low attention span, didn't really take to the more complicated of Percy's orders. But soon it became easy, the trick was to focus on simple commands. Soon Percy became skilled at it, it was just like his ability to talk to horses and dogs.
Percy had also trained up his ice control;
Ice control, Lv— 19 (10%)
Allows the user free control over the element of ice.
Cost— 10MP per foot of ice created
Max size— 230 foot
Special skill;
Snow creation/control— Lv— 13 create snow. Cost— 20 MP per inch
Heat absorption— Lv— 9, absorb the heat from your surroundings. Cost— 200 MP per second of heat absorption.
The snow creation skill wasn't really a surprise, it was the next logical step for his ice control skills. But the heat absorption thing....well now that was unique.
Percy had gotten that particular skill when his ice control went past level 10. It kind of just showed up, maybe it was a type of reward or something. Either way it was usefull.
The next skill allowed him to absorb heat, causing the area around him to turn frigid, arctic even. He used it once when he was sparring against Zed, it surprised the servant long enough for Percy to knock him out with ease.
Plus it was super usefull to beat the summer heat. When Thalia realised he could do this she basically made him reduce the temperature in any room they were in to 21 degrees celsius. Soon other people realised what he could do and Percy basically became the walking air conditioning unit of camp half-blood.
Percy had also made some minor improvement to his shadow control, not much, just a few level ups;
Shadow control, Lv-16 (+10= Lv-26)(20%)
Where the user can control shadows and manipulate them.
Cost— 35 MP (— 50 MP= 0 MP)
Shadow explosion— 1,500 Damage (+500 Damage=2,000 damage ) cost 500 MP250 MP250 MP)
Shadow Grapple launcher — Launches a tendril of shadows that acts as a grapple to pull user. Cost — 50 MP (-80 MP = 0 MP)
Shadow lockpicking, Lv— 5/5 (0%)
Creates a tendril of shadows that can be used to open any mechanical lock.
Limits— complicated locks with delicates systems.
The best thing about this was that the armband of cerberus made Percy basically amazingly
awesome at shadow control. Thanks to that this was one of the most useful skills he had.
And apart from those main three elemental controls Percy also increased his strength;
STR-115(+20 + 75 )=200
And also his Vit;
VIT-109(+11+20)=140
He didn't improve much for his Dex and Wis;
DEX-56(+11+20)=87
WIS-62
But he didn't improve his Int by a solid 20 points;
INT-120
This was mostly because Annabeth forced Percy and Thalia to learn for the coming school year. She had been relentless, Thalia at one point got so irritated by Annabeth's constant tutoring she started to fly away any time Annabeth approached them.
So Annabeth stopped focusing on Thalia and aimed for Percy instead. Hence it became normal for anyone who meet him for Percy to have a book in hand.
When he was out training the other demigods he would have a book to read. While he was training his other skills, he would have a book to read. He even spent a lot of time in his ID in order to get more study time.
Well...he didn't want to, but Annabeth kind of forced him to. And in order to make sure he studied she tagged along, Percy would have thought it was a selfless act, if Annabeth wasn't also using the time dilation ID to squeeze in more study time.
But Percy couldn't complain, mostly because even if he did no one would care. So he read. He read, and he kept reading.
At first he decided to read up all he would learn in high school. He learnt physics, math, chemistry, history, english. And his skill in the theoretical subject skills rose;

This of course also resulted in him improving his reading skills;
Language: Modern English, Lv-34 (64%)
Due to you being a demigod you have Dyslexia, but with hard work you have overcome your disabilities and you're reading is now near grade level-College ++
+102% reading speed
And since Percy kept using his ID's so much that also leveled up;
ID Create, Lv-25 (12%)
Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the dungeon.
Current list—
Empty Dungeon— no monsters.
Monster Dungeon— Zombies
Monster Dungeon— Goblin Camp
Arena Dungeon — Mountain/ Island/ Swamp/ Forest/ Plains
Empty Dungeon — Time dilation (1/5)
Monster Dungeon— Parademon invasion
ID Escape, Lv-25 (12%)
Used to escape from Instant Dungeons.
This didn't do much, just improved the amount of time Percy could spend in his ID. He liked that bit, he also checked out the new dungeon he unlocked. It basically recreated the Darkseid invasion, putting up a fake Metropolis that was sharing with Parademons for Percy to destroy. Darkseid was the main boss, and Percy didn't have any help, unlike the real battle.
So far he didn't have time to check it out fully, he was very very busy, what with the reading and the training and all that. But he swore he would check out latter, well...whenever later was anyway.
Percy also improved other skills;
Telekinetic flight, Lv— 12 (0%)
By pushing on the ground and the air via your telekinetic field you have obtained the ability to fly!
Speed — 100 Kms/ Hr
Molecule manipulation, Lv— 31 (08%)
You can manipulate the molecules of objects within your range. Your control over this ability is at practitioner's level, you can scan the object and manipulate it paying great attention to the fine details.
Ability;
Scan— Allows you to have a scanned mental image of the object you wish to manipulate. Also allows for a very detailed manipulation of said object. Rage— 40 feet
Rush— You can program the molecules to act in a certain way without your attention.
Cost— 500 MP per 15,000 pounds of mass
He was now faster when flying, but never really used this skill in the real world, he so did not want to get on Zeus's bad side. He could now travel pretty fast, but Thalia was still faster, something she loved mentioning over and over again.
And the molecular manipulation ability was really coming along well nicely, especially since Percy kept using it to build more and more buildings in his Haven. He especially like the new sub-skill he got, Rush. It basically allowed him to program something and forget about it. It was the ultimate multitasking tool.
Telekinesis, Lv-23 (80%)
The physic ability to move objects with your mind.
Range— 75 feet (Exception— Any object present on the surface you stand on or interact with can be manipulated by your mind.)
Max weight— 1,000 Pounds
Cost -30MP
Carrying Multiple item, Lv-8 — Carry multiple items, Max— 12 (Exception— 'X' number of objects can be manipulates and carried as long as they are present on the surface you stand on or interact with can be manipulated by your mind.)
This was something that just automatically leveled itself up as Percy kept using his tactile telekinetic skills. It wasn't much, but it was usefull. Percy had gotten much better at it, hell he could now lift a Legion zombie up fully with his mind.
He also improved his super strength;
Super strength— You can exert extra force through a combination of your mind and body simulating super strength.
STR— + 75
And his Second skin force field;
Second skin force field— An invisible force field around your body that simulates invulnerability. This force field covers your whole body and cannot be felt by others unless you wish them to.
Defence — 500
And surprisingly thanks to all these improved skill Tactile telekinesis also leveled up. It seems that Tactile Telekinesis only levels up once all the abilities under it goes above level 10. It was a brutal skill to level up, but thankfully the reward for the level up was well worth the effort;
Force field— create a force field around you. Size— based on user. Limit— Concentration of user.
Percy had flipped when he got this skill, literally. He was flying and when he saw this skill he literally back flipped and nearly broke his head on the ground due to his lack of focus.
This skill was basically the ultimate defence tool. It followed the basis on his material enforcement skill, as long as Percy could handle it his force field wouldn't break.
And obviously Percy had to test out his theory.
So first he had Zed punch it with his full strength. It didn't budge an inch. He then had Marcia blast it with the strongest demon curse she knew. It shifted a bit, but that was mostly because Percy didn't want to risk getting hit by magic, he didn't know if his force field could block that. But apparently it could.
After that came Cerberus who basically picked up the force field, with Percy inside it, and started using the spherical ball as a chew toy. Needless to say that was not an experience Percy wanted to repeat, but at least now he knew that his force field could also stand being the chew toy of the guardian of Hades.
Then came the ultimate test, Haki. Percy had Alcyoneus punch the force field with all the Giant had. The defense skill lasted 5 seconds.
It wasn't because of the Haki alone though, it was that plus Alcyoneus' insane strength. It seemed Haki was a sort of equalizer, it brought it down to a battle of wills, and that was a battle between Percy's mind over Alcyoneus fist. Needless to say the Giant won.
So yes, he had to work on it a bit, but at least it provided some form of defence from Haki attacks. In the end Percy was happy, he had gotten a pretty cool skill, maybe with some more training it could actually serve as a trump card of sorts.
Percy sighed, he slowly lowered himself down to the destroyed city and floated down towards his mom's apartment. He slipped into a nearby alley way and put one hand up, 'ID Escape.'
The red sky shattered as Percy slipped back into the real world. All the damage he caused vanished before his eyes, Percy smirked, he loved that part.
The son of Poseidon looked down, luckily his little work out didn't ruin any of his clothes, unlike the first time he tried destroying a building. He wore a white button up t-shirt with black slacks and shiny black leather shoes. And of course his ever present leather jacket that Thalia gave for his birthday.
His mother had contacted him the day before, she told him that she and Kate were throwing a little get together at Kate's place for something and she wanted him to come. She specified again and again that he must wear formal clothes and look proper. It was a pain, but Percy didn't want to disappoint his mother.
Percy checked his watch, he was on time. He had actually come a little early, so he spent the extra time working out in his ID, no need to waste going early to a party that he already didn't want to go to.
After checking his clothes one more time Percy made his way inside. He quickly reached the third floor and knocked on Kate's door. He waited for a few seconds before it opened up revealing Alexis standing on the other side.
"Percy!" Alexis exclaimed as she stepped forward wrapping Percy in a hug, "it's so nice to see you again."
"Hey Alexis," Percy hugged her back before stepping back to admire her dress, "you look amazing."
"Oh, thanks," the pretty red head smiled. She wore a red blouse and skirt with just a touch of makeup on. Her red hair flowed freely down her shoulders, it honestly reminded Percy of Artemis.
"You clean up nice Percy," Alexis said as she stepped aside allowing Percy inside the apartment.
"Thanks, I try," Percy smiled as he took off his jacket and hung it up on the coat rack.
"And you look a lot different," the redhead commented looking Percy up and down, "like a lot different."
"Puberty has it's advantages," Percy chuckled, "though the side effect can be kind of...well, you know."
"Yeah, I know," Alexis chuckled, "but hey look at it this way, only three more years to go."
"Yay," Percy cheered enthusiastically. Alexis took him to the living room where Percy realised how small of a gathering this really was. And by small he meant like a hand full of people.
"Percy," Sally called out as she quickly approached the demigod hugging her son, "right on time."
"Oh please, you would have killed me if I wasn't," Percy chuckled as they broke the hug. Percy then turned to Kate and smiled, "hey detective."
"Nice to see you again Percy," Kate smiled.
"Hello Percy," Castle spoke up besides Kate with a sly smile on his face, "or should I say, junior detective."
"Stop it Castle," Kate swatted him playfully, "he's not a detective."
"Why not?"
"Because he's a kid."
"Who solved a case quicker than you."
"He got lucky."
"Weren't you the one who said in this line of work there was no such thing as luck?" Kate grumbled but said nothing back.
Percy smiled, "guess those two didn't change."
"No, they didn't," a new voice called out. Percy turned and noticed Chad and Diana Rebowl, the parents of the two kidnapped people Percy had found.
