Slowly he raised his hands up until he broke the water surface, he concentrated on the water under his arms and willed it to come up with him.
Slowly as Percy raised his arms above the water, two balls of water clung to his hands not letting go. Percy grinned and brought the water balls upwards and near his face. It was moving, like a big ball of jello and suddenly the balls busted all over Percy's face, drenching the boy.
'Goddamn,' Percy cursed, 'lost my concentration.' Percy dipped his hands into the water again. He felt it around his hands and again he pulled it out out of the fountain, this time holding it together as one huge ball of water. Percy brought it up and then held it there for nearly a minute.
Percy then threw the water like a real ball and it hit the fountain and splashed back down into the water pool below.
Ping!
New Skill discovered! You have discovered your skill as a demigod!
Water Controlling Lv-1 (43%)
Allows you to control any form of water from any source of water. You can reconstruct it in anyway you wish and it will obey your every command.
Cost-20 MP per minute
Percy panted as he swiped the screen away, looks like he unlocked one of his powers. This is the first skill he has that required for MP. Percy brought out his status page and clicked on MP;
Mana-80/100
Regeneration-10 per minute
Percy frowned, his regeneration rate was pathetic, but it was to be expected, his Wis was only 4.
Percy learned a few things more about his powers. Each improved somethin or the other about him.
Str— his physical strength, duh.
Vit— his endurance and defence (+25 hp per level for 10 Vits)
Dex— his athleticism and precision (+10% hp regen per level for 10 dex)
Int— Mana storage rate and memory (+25 mp per level for 10 Int)
Wis— Mana recovery and mana scene (+10% mp regen level for 10 wis)
Luc— Luck
And so far he only had;
STR-2
VIT-1(+2)=3
DEX-3(+2)=5
INT-5
WIS-4
LUC-3
Which was next to nothing. This is why Percy needed to grind big time, he did have 10 points that he could spend, but like Han Jack said, he needed to save those.
So Percy turned to the fountain again after dismissing the screens. He gathered mana into his arms and the spoke, "water control."
I called to the water to form a ball in his hand and it did, Percy could feel his MP drain out and into the water but Percy held on for a long as he could. After four minutes the ball of water fell down and Percy collapsed exhausted of all his mana.
Mana-0/100
The recovery time for him would a total of 8 minutes since his recovery rate was 10%, meaning 10 MP is restored per minute.
After 10 minutes Percy got up again and focused on manipulating water again. After another 5 minutes of water manipulation Percy crashed down again exhausted of all his mana.
Ping!
Due to constant usage skill has evolved!
Water Controlling Lv-2 (3%)
Allows you to control any form of water from any source of water. You can reconstruct it in anyway you wish and it will obey your every command.
Cost-19 MP per minute
The cost of usage went down by just one point! Percy cursed but he knew this was how he will get strong, one step at a time.
Percy got again after 10 minutes and began the process of controlling water once again, this time he made it into a long tube of water. Then after his man ran out and recharged he tried it again, this time he made the tube thinner and denser. So dense that he could touch it now and use it like a normal tube.
Percy trained into the night and at around 12, midnight he collapsed again into the ground what felt like the hundredth time.
Ping!
Due to constant usage skill has evolved!
Water Controlling Lv-4 (30%)
Allows you to control any form of water from any source of water. You can reconstruct it in anyway you wish and it will obey your every command.
Cost-17 MP per minute
Percy smiled at this, finally he was getting somewhere.
Ping!
Due to constant usage of Mana and constant Mana regeneration, +1 to Int and Wis.
Well this was getting better already. Percy smiled at the bonus points, it seems studying and making wise choices aren't the only ways to train Int and Wis.
Just then Percy heard somebody walking towards him, it definitely sounded like a human, not he crutches using Grover or the wheelchair bound Mr. Brunner.
Quickly Percy splashed some water onto himself and ran, the water increased his Str, Dex and Vit by 20 points allowing him to easily escape whoever was coming towards him. Reaching his dorm building Percy managed to jump onto the railing on the first floor and pulled himself up.
Reaching the door to his room Percy activated his skill, Sneaking, and slowly entered his room. There he saw Grover's hand by the side of the top bunk, the goat was snoring, badly.
Percy quietly walked in, closed the door and went into his bed. He put his shoes away and took off his jeans. He laid back and slowly let sleep take over him.
Ping!
You have slept in you own bed; HP and MP have been restored 100% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Percy woke up with the same blue box over his head. He swiped it away and looked around. The time was 7 in the morning. Quickly Percy took a shower and got ready. He changed his clothes into his uniform and grabbed his bag.
Percy turned to Grover, who was still asleep, sighing Percy shook Grover up, "hey, G-man, wake up."
"Ah?" Grover said through the drool, yuck, "what time is it?"
"Around 7 man," Percy replied, it took him twenty minutes to get ready, "now get up, you're going to be late."
Grover waved Percy away and turned in his bed, "I'll be fine Percy. Just go to class."
Percy shook his head at his friends antics and quickly left his dorm. He went to the cafeteria and looked at the people waiting to get their food, there weren't many here right now, due to it being so early in the morning.
Percy's breakfast was already paid for, they took it from his fee's so he was allowed to take as much as he wanted. Only thing was he is expected to finish it all.
Seeing an opportunity, due to the few people here, and all of them being distracted by something or the other, Percy quickly got an idea.
Percy opened up his inventory and put the box over his empty plate. He reached for a stack of pancakes and placed them over the box. The food then disappeared into the inventory and Percy could see it in there.
Grinning Percy quickly loaded in as many pancakes as he could. And as he has he back blocking everyone's view of what he was doing it just looked like Percy was really hungry, that is is anyone was even looking.
Percy then closed his inventory after storing 20 pancakes in it. He then grabbed several packets of syrup which he also discreetly put into his inventory box. Finally he grabbed two pancakes and put them on his plate to eat.
He then went to a bench in the corner of the room and sat down to enjoy breakfast.
"Morning twerp," came an ugly voice. Percy turned and there was Nancy Bobofit. The annoying red haired girl sneered at Percy, "I thought you and your boyfriend were up all night bumping bones, where is all goat brains?"
Percy controlled his anger, or tried at least, "he is with your mom Nancy, it seems she has a thing for goats."
Nancy screamed, "what did you say?!"
"I said your mom is a goat fucker Nancy! Are you deaf or something?!"
"Don't talk about my mom Jackson!"
"Don't talk about my friend Nancy," Percy replied as the girl looked as red as her hair. Percy looked at her ready to fight if she started something.
"At least I have a dad Jackson," Nancy said and walked away.
It shouldn't have hurt him, Percy was used to it. He was used to people telling him he was a bastard, that was the first thing anyone would use to insult him. He should have been used to it by now, but he wasn't.
Percy looked at the girl as she sat down a few seats in front of him. He then noticed she had a bottled water sitting next to her and Percy's mind started to spin. It would be a challenge of his powers, but isn't that what life is? Finding your limits, and then breaking them?
Percy drew on his magic and focused on Nancy's water bottle, "water control," Percy whispered and he felt his magic reach out and touch the water in Nancy's bottle. Suddenly water started to moved, it pushed the bottle left and right until it fell down.
'Shit,' thought Percy, 'I meant for it to jump out of the bottle, there was not enough force.'
This drew Nancy's attention as she looked out the fallen bottle. She then picked it up and put it up right. Percy sighed at the lucky second chance. He then tried again and this time he push the water upwards with all his will and the water burst out of the cap spraying all over Nancy's clothes.
"YA!" Nancy shrieked as Percy laughed, the girl quickly went back to her room to change leaving Percy in the cafeteria.
Percy looked at his mean and quickly began to eat, he pulled up his health and mana bar;
Health-200/200
Mana-66/100
Percy swiped the boxes away, the water manipulation was good and very easy to do. Maybe it had something to do with his powers. Maybe after he discovered the skills he can always use the skill no matter the difference in it.
Like maybe if he learned something the old fashioned way, without his powers, he would have had trouble with new things. But with his powers, water control means water control, only limited by his level.
Percy then used observe on his pancakes;
Pancakes: food,
restores 30 HP, 10 MP.
Percy's eyes widened at that. He quickly ate a full pancake and pulled up his mana bar;
Mana-77/100
It was amazing, so food effected mana too. This meant there should technically be food out there which resorted 100% of his mana/health.
Percy noted that for his future and then quickly spent the rest of his breakfast using Observe on anyone and everyone hoping to level it up quickly. The information block he had when he tried to observe the Iris message needed to be fixed. And the more information he got from Observing his enemies the better.
Ping!
Through constant use a skill has level up!
Observe Lv-2 (40%)
By Observing a target one will get information about said object
-Max HP,MP, stats and info.
'Sweet',thought Percy 'now I can observe the status of the people I Observe.'
Percy then quickly left the cafeteria for the library. Along the way Percy used Observes on everything he saw. It seemed the average student was Lv-3 with their stats at 3 or 4 each. Percy was already better than them, but then again that's not saying much.
At the library Percy used Observed On every book there, or at least tried to, the result of which his Observes evolved two more levels. Percy then quickly left to go for his classes and made it just in time so as to not be late.
There he saw Grover in his usual seat and Percy quickly gave a mental command, 'Observe.'

Percy blinked once, then twice. This was new. Well at least Grover is strong enough to be his protector, until Percy is strong enough to protect himself that is. Percy smiled at Grover and sat down.
Suddenly the class became quiet as not a word was spoken. A woman walked into the class with glass on and a tight hair bun on her head. She looked like someone with the fashion scene of someone from the 80's and looked like she was from then to.
The woman turned to the class and nodded, "good morning class, I am your new substitute teacher Mrs. Dodds. I will be teaching you pre-algebra and will stay with you for the rest of the year."
The woman then began taking attendance and when she came to Percy's name she stopped for a second and then growled his name out, "Percy Jackson."
Percy felt his spine tingle as he spoke through a dry throat, "h-here ma'am." What was that feeling?
Ping!

That 'thing' is after me?! Fuck!
Percy spent the rest of the class worrying over how he was going to survive, in the end it all came back to the same answer, get stronger, fast.
Percy payed attention in class and with the help of Gamer's mind looked as calm as a cucumber, but inside he was scared and he needed to do something to get rid of all the anxiety.
After classes that day Percy quickly went to the library and began reading again, this time with the promise of death making him read faster, quickly he leveled up three more times.

Detention with Mrs. Dodds.
YES/NO?
Percy gulped and quickly pressed yes, he really needed to do this, and fast. Later that night at around 10, when Grover finally slept off Percy quietly sneaked out of his room and jumped to the ground floor.
He then quickly ran to the library, which was across the courtyard. But as he was running he heard two voice in the courtyard ahead of him. Percy's quickly ducked into the bushes and quickly crawled on his stomach forward until he saw Mrs. Dodds there talking with Mr. Brunner.
