4 The Way

'Self-studying on manga 'Code Geass'. Art of Manipulating +1.'

Smiling to himself James kept reading till he no longer heard the soft buzz of the Prodigy System telling him that his proficiency was rising.

He brought his proficiency panel up and discovered a very important thing.

English Proficiency: 20%

Chinese Proficiency: 65%

Spanish Proficiency: 5%

Mathematics Proficiency: 70%

Physics Proficiency: 10%

Biology Proficiency: 15%

Art of Manipulating: 80%

'Why is the Art of Manipulating capped at 80%?' Thought James to himself, he knew that in the manga Lelouch's main power wasn't the Geass, the thing that saved him from countless bad situations was his silver tongue and his intelligence so it couldn't have capped at 80% as this wasn't even a basic skill.

'Let me try this for myself' Thought James as he went to the store's clerk while preparing himself to use for the first time a skill given by the Prodigy System on others.

Putting his most charming smile James told the store's clerk "Good afternoon, I'll take this manga called 'Code Geass'. I heard that today the store has a discounted price for all mangas as they don't sell as much as the other things in the store, such a shame really."

"Really? Nobody told me about a discount today, we have discounts in comics just on Wednesdays as it's a slow day for us. Code Geass is one of the favorites in the store, it's one of my favorites too" The store clerk responded with a polite smile.

'Shit, I think I tried to be 'suave' on my own and I didn't let the skill do its job, let me try this again' Thought James as he felt a little embarrassed but didn't show it in his face.

"My apologies, I may have heard the wrong information. This is really a loss of face for me, how about I treat you with some pastries as soon as you finish your work here and you tell me a little about the next volumes of Code Geass, who knows I may even buy them all" Said James as the words flowed through his mouth.

"It has been some time since someone tried to flirt with me. You know what? I'm in, the name's Stephanie, a pleasure to meet you." The store's clerk that now I know is called Stephanie told me while she had a warm smile on her face.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful lady. I assume you finish working at 7 so I'll be waiting for you at the manga section, we'll go to a nearby cafeteria that I know its opened all night" James told Stephanie as he smiled, picked up his Code Geass manga and went to the manga section again.

'That didn't go as well as I wanted, I need to start trusting the Prodigy System more. I want to know everything this life has to offer and I will not let my doubts hold me down' Thought James as he knew that a part of himself still thinks that he's in a dream.

Shaking his head he brought back the Code Geass manga and put it in its place, picking up another manga called 'One Punch-Man' and started reading it.

What he didn't notice is that a new skill appeared with the other two skills he already had.
