Water and Perverts

"Someone is up early today."

Kento laughed at his mother's comment. 

"I wanted to go on a run before class." He said. "Don't worry, I will eat after coming back."

"Remember the promise. Don't skip breakfast."

"I won't!"

Quickly putting on his running shoes, Kento rushed out.

But instead of going on a run, he had something else planned.

Going through the empty morning road, he made his way to the park.

What he had planned was not running, but testing out his new skills.

"I can't test them in such an open area."

And thankfully for him, there was a pathway to a mountain just next to the park.

Jumping over the fence, he walked inside the forest.

As Elijah, he had quite the experience in mountaineering so he wasn't much worried.

All that was in his mind were his skills.

Maybe it was being seventeen again, but the adrenaline made him quite excited about the skills.

"I already tried out 'Inspect.' So, let's try out 'Water Manipulation' now."

{Water Manipulation (F)}

He pretty much figured that F was either the lowest grade or close to lowest. Which meant that the skills were not going to be super strong.

"I will have to figure out a way to increase the level someday."

But for now, he was just testing it out.

He immediately tried creating a vortex of water or a massive water blast, but sadly it did not work.

"Not high level enough, huh?"

That wasn't too good. But he knew that there had to be a way around it.

As he kept on imagining the size of the water stream to be smaller, it finally worked. After a while, the stream of water was the size of a pen in his mind and that was when it manifested.

"Finally!"

But it was not strong enough to blast anything. So, instead of blasting, he decided to go with a piercing action.

Making the stream swirl with an extreme speed, he made it shoot towards a tree –making it leave a hole on the trunk.

"Bullseye!"

The attack was a little stronger than he expected. But it was still better than he thought.

There were a lot of tricks he had in mind. Like making an opponent trip on a puddle or by drenching their clothes to make them heavier to move in.

But those were inconvenience type skills.

His major attack was that penetrating shot. 

But he knew that this wasn't enough.

Considering all these complex skills that he saw on people, there will be people that will be able to handle his attack with ease.

That is when he had a thought.

"I have the skill {Kama's Path} and while it is mostly a sexual skill, it does have the ability to enhance sensations. What if I enhance the sensation of pain instead of pleasure?"

This made him grin.

"It will be a very good combination skill."

But what he did not know was the he will have to create a lot of such combinations if he wanted to have an actual fight.

…

…

"Water Manipulation is far more handy than I expected," Kento mumbled as he walked towards his class. 

This morning while taking a bath, he realized that if there is an existing source of water around him, controlling it is far easier than summoning the water and then manipulating it.

Best of all, he learnt that he can even control the temperature of the water. 

'Let's focus on my skills when I am alone.'

As he entered the campus, he saw the perverted trio peeping through the window of a faraway room.

'Should I?' Wondering if he should bother with the three main perverts or not, he looked around. 

And as it was quite early, there were not a lot of people nearby.

'Eh, why not? I am early anyways.'

Walking close to the three boys, he decided to take a look at the scene they were enjoying.

And when he did, first his eyes went wide followed by a frown and a sigh of disappointment. This immediately alerted the boys who were seemingly too engrossed in the scenery to keep track of their surroundings.

"This is what you are interested in?" Kento sounded disappointed. "Peeping at women changing?"

"H-Hey! We did not call for you!"

"How did you get here!"

Motohama and Matsuda yelled.

"Y-You are that new kid!" Issei gasped in shock.

"Firstly, the name's Kento and secondly, I am here to judge you." 

The statement mixed with his straight face made the boys bewildered. 

"What do you mean!" Issei barked. "There is nothing greater than relishing the glory of boobs!"

Kento rolled his eyes. "I can see why you three get beaten up so often."

"Shut up!" The three shouted simultaneously.

Kento sighed. "You know what is better than gawking at boobs?"

"What?" Issei asked in a bit of anger. He knew for certain that there was nothing greater than a pair of beautiful tits and Kento bothering him in his watchtime made him pretty annoyed.

"Feeling them in the palm of your hands." Kento smirked. "Which I know that you have never experienced."

Motohama was furious at Kento's statement. "Don't act as if you know how it fee–" 

He stopped abruptly when he saw the proud smirk on Kento's face.

"Oh you darn lucky bastard!" Matsuda said in both anger and envy.

It took Issei a while to realize what the boy meant but when he did, his entire opinion about Kento changed.

The boy he previously considered a smug pretty bastard was now a smug lucky pretty bastard in his books.

"And from my experience, I can tell you that acting like this will never get you to grasp their glory." 

This statement devastated them.

"W-What do you mean?!"

Kento chuckled. "Whatever you are thinking."

"Then teach us how to get them to allow us to touch!" Issei asked with a face that Kento hoped was sarcastic. 

The boy was determined to learn and this had Kento taken aback.

"Honestly… I don't see much hope in you all." Kento said truthfully. "But who knows what the future holds. One of you might even end up as the harem king."

"How do you know about my dream!" Issei gasped in shock and wonder.

"I hope you are kidding…" Kento was beyond amused at their act. But he decided it was best not to interact with them, at least in public.

"Well, I don't know. I would love to continue this convo but I have somewhere to be." He smiled. "So, if you will excuse me."

Saying this, he turned and started walking towards his class.

"Curse him and his pretty face." Matsuda yelled. 

"May he trip and ruin that pretty face of his."

"How dare he say that we will never be able to touch a woman." Issei gritted his teach.

But as Kento walked towards his class, he said. 

"And if I wanted to have even a slight chance of achieving that ridiculous dream, I would run if I were you."

"Huh? What–"

As Issei was about to ask about the meaning, he heard a loud bang on the window.

*Bang!* 

Before it shot open to reveal multiple angry girls with wooden sticks in their hands.

"Shit!" The trio was cursed at the same time.

"*Eek!*"

"It's the perverted trio!" One of the girls yelled. "They were peeping on us!"

"Get them!"

"Break their legs!"

"Pop their eyes!"

This was cue for the trio to run, and as they did, the girls followed behind with sticks in their hands.

Looking at this from afar, Kento shook his head. 

"What a bunch of idiots."

After all, they should have been smart enough to know not to shout right under the window of a girls dressing room.

"Can't even peek at girls properly."

But as he said the statement, he immediately regretted.

"I know right?"
