Every Beauty Awakens My Power

Chapter 1: Awakening the Power

Zhang Kai, a high school senior, sat in the classroom, his eyes glued to his math book, though his attention wasn't entirely on the numbers. Instead, he kept glancing sideways, his gaze lingering a little too long on the body of a female classmate.

"Do you really love me...?" Zhang Kai softly hummed a random English tune, a mischievous grin on his face.

Only Zhang Kai could balance flipping through a math book while casually singing. But what no one around him could know was that the clothes of the beautiful girl sitting in front of him were gradually becoming transparent in his eyes. From the smallest details to the more... prominent ones, everything was laid bare before him, causing his heart to race and his pulse to quicken.

Power! Perspective!

That was right—Zhang Kai had just unlocked a new ability. His power was not just any random skill, but one that could literally see through anything.

However, the perspective effect didn't last long, fading after a few seconds, and Zhang Kai reluctantly shifted his gaze back to the math book in his hands.

With newfound excitement, Zhang Kai flipped through the pages of the book faster and faster, his eyes scanning the text at an incredible speed. His expression slowly shifted from casual curiosity to sheer exhilaration.

I did it!

He had understood it—every last bit of it!

The complex math problems that had once seemed insurmountable were now completely clear to him. Zhang Kai closed the book with a sense of triumph, then closed his eyes, the entire content of the book flashing through his mind.

He had memorized everything in an instant—and more importantly, he had understood it!

This was an ability unlike anything he had ever experienced. Zhang Kai was thrilled beyond belief.

Just that morning, on his way to school, Zhang Kai had found an odd silver watch lying on the sidewalk. Intrigued, he'd picked it up and slipped it onto his wrist. To his surprise, the watch melted into his skin, and a flood of information filled his mind. It turned out the watch was created by a genius scientist from the future—three thousand years ahead of his time—and it was designed to give its wearer abilities... through helping beautiful women.

Upon wearing the watch, Zhang Kai had unknowingly activated the system, and his body began to absorb its powers. The system could assign him tasks, and after completing them, he earned "power points," which could be spent on various abilities like stealth, flying, or even space travel.

When the system first activated, it presented him with two initial powers: a photographic memory and the ability to see through objects. Zhang Kai had been skeptical at first, but after using the perspective ability on his classmate, he was convinced.

This is real!

He couldn't believe it. Just a few minutes ago, he had struggled with these math problems—now, they were all so easy. He had never been good at school, and the formulas had always seemed like a foreign language to him. But now, after just a single glance at the book, it was as if the knowledge had been implanted directly into his mind.

"Unbelievable..." Zhang Kai muttered under his breath, unable to contain his excitement.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Gang, his deskmate, asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Kai snapped out of his thoughts and quickly regained his composure. "Nothing, just got a bit distracted," he replied, trying to hide his excitement.

Wang Gang shrugged, not thinking much of it, and turned his attention back to the teacher.

Zhang Kai's gaze drifted back to the books stacked high on his desk—math, physics, and even the older textbooks from earlier years. These books had once intimidated him, but now...

He could feel the surge of excitement rise within him. He wanted to devour them all, absorb all their knowledge.

He reached for the first book, flipping through the pages with a speed that would make any other student dizzy. He had no trouble absorbing the content, his mind working faster than he could process.

The class was nearly halfway through, but Zhang Kai was too immersed in his newfound abilities to notice. The math teacher, Li Min, had been watching him closely. From the beginning of the class, Zhang Kai had been bent over, flicking through his book. Li Min had assumed he was reading a novel, as he often did.

She didn't care much for the "problem students" in her class, but today, for some reason, she was in the mood to manage him.

"Zhang Kai!" she called sharply, frowning.

Zhang Kai didn't respond, still lost in his world of books.

"Zhang Kai!" Li Min raised her voice, clearly annoyed. This time, the entire class turned their attention to him.

Wang Gang, sitting beside Zhang Kai, noticed what was happening and quickly nudged his friend's arm.

"Huh?" Zhang Kai blinked and looked around, suddenly realizing that everyone was staring at him.

The teacher was looking at him, too, her face tight with irritation.

"Can you tell me how to solve that problem from earlier?" Li Min demanded.

The question? Zhang Kai was startled, momentarily confused, as he had been too engrossed in his books to hear the problem.

He turned to Wang Gang for help, hoping his deskmate would clue him in.

But Wang Gang had no idea what Zhang Kai was trying to communicate. When Li Min noticed the exchange, her patience wore thin.

"If you don't understand, maybe you should study harder!" she snapped. "Stop reading those novels! What good does that do you? You're wasting your time!"

Zhang Kai's eyes flashed with anger. Wasting time? He had just unlocked an entire new world of abilities, and she was calling him a waste?

"Who's the waste here?" Zhang Kai shot back, his voice calm but his words sharp. "You call me trash because I don't understand? Maybe it's time you realized you don't know everything either!"
