บท 2: First move.
The Average Stat for a Human ranged between 10 to 15 points, while anything above 15 could be considered above average. 30 Stat Points was the peak for a normal human, but according to the system, even that had been surpassed eventually.
Issei was in the Park while the rest of the students were attending school at the time. He had excused himself from home with the lie of wanting some fresh air.
'What are the other functions that you talked about?' Issei asked.
It was System's suggestion that he go outside.
[Look around you and focus on someone.]
While strolling casually, Issei spotted an couple bunking school in the park. They were not the students of Kuoh Academy, according to their uniforms.
'Now what?' Issei pressed on.
[Focus on a single person and think about wanting to know them. Intent is how most of the skills and functions of the System works.]
Issei focused on the girl because he was not interested in staring at the boy.
[Name: Himiko Sato
Level: 4
Age: 18
Race: Human
Title: Tennis Prodigy
Strength: 15
Endurance: 16
Agility: 20
Intelligence: 14
Wisdom: 12
Luck: 15
Relation: 0 (Unknown)]
The Screen that appeared before him was similar to his own Status. Issei was amused as he looked at the Stats of the stranger girl, but then he got a little dejected when he realised that she easily outclassed him in all the physical Stats.
'I guess the reason why my strength and Endurance is so low is because I can't function half of my body properly.' Issei concluded, 'How am I supposed to defeat someone so stronger than me?'
[Normally, it wouldn't be possible, but with the help of the System you have the potential to complete this Quest.]
[You have unlocked the System Skill "Observe".]
'So that thing I did was called Observe.' Issei nodded and walked away from the place. He didn't wanted to look like a creep spying on others.
He entered into an deeper section of the Park which was empty at the moment. He looked at the soothing water flowing out of the fountain and sat on the chair next to it.
[The other Functions that System provides you with is "Inventory", "Quest", and "System Store".]
"So that's where the System Points comes in." Issei comprehended, 'What are the Inventory and Quests then?'
[Inventory is an subspace where you can store any soulless object of any size and weight. You need to be in contact with the object to store it inside your Inventory.]
Issei understood without a doubt, 'And Quest?'
[Quest is the place where you can keep a Log of your active Quests. Currently, you have two active Quests:
1. Major: Defeat the Gamer Yuuki Kageyama.
2. Major: Observe Yuuki Kageyama to know the Gap between you two.]
'Does defeat means kill?' Issei had this doubt from the start and it was a good time to raise it.
[Yes.]
The answer he received was simple, precise and short.
The thought of killing a person was not good, but Issei was ready to do whatever was necessary. Not to mention, he wouldn't be killing an innocent man.
[You have received two Minor Quests.
1. Minor: Learn about the Supernatural side of the World.
2. Minor: Recover your body to an fully functional state.]
Issei tapped on the second Quest to get more details.
[Quest: Recover your body to an fully functional state.
Class: Minor
Objective: Achieve 20 Stat points in all your Physical Attributes, without using any Attribute points.
Timespan: 30 days
Failure: Remain Handicapped forever.
Rewards: Unknown.]
Issei understood that there was a Supernatural side when Odin's existence was confirmed by the System. But, how would he discover the rest?
'And this second Quest.' Issei sighed, 'This is going to be a tough one.'
[The System has planned out an workout schedule to assist you.]
The information was naturally transferred to Issei's mind and now he knew what to do and where to start.
First, he would have to balance his shitty diet with proper nutrition.
Second, get proper sleep..
Third, Workout.
[System has transferred 100k Yen in your Inventory for your needs.]
Issei was delighted, with a smile appearing on his face.
'Wait, wasn't Observing Yuuki classified as an Major Quest?' Issei stood up from his bench and proceeded towards the exit of the Park, 'Let's assume that he can Observe me too if I can Observe him, then wouldn't he be doubtful if I suddenly started gaining a bunch of Stat points?'
[Your Wisdom has increased by 2 Points.]
That was an welcoming reward.
'This signifies that my theory is correct, which also means that I'll have to stay away from Kageyama if I want to grow.' Issei thought with an resolute scowl, 'He knows things that I am not even aware about. Of course, he would take action against me if he can go as far as to steal a part of my soul.'
If he wanted to Observe Yuuki Kageyama this was the perfect time, when his Stats were still low.
'I hope he does not notices my increase in Wisdom, even if its slightly above average.' Issei thought anxiously as he moved towards the school, 'Now should be lunch time, and I know exactly where I would find that Bastard.'
