3 Pool

"Good morning, Yamauchi!"

"Good morning, Ike!"

Ike came early in the morning with his usual grin and greeted Yamauchi. But they happen to arrive at the classroom really early.

It's been a week now since the Entrance Ceremony. I also started joining a club. Namely the Volleyball club.

I came to practice every afternoon, and with my "Sports VIII" skill, I was seen as a prodigy. I told them that I only watched Volleyball on videos in the Internet or T.V. after all, I was a complete beginner.

Well I watched some Volleyball anime in my previous life like Haikyuu for example. Since I'm quite tall myself standing at 182 centimeters, I'm a Wing Spiker.

I thought a Setter would be better for me with my skills, but we have a third year setter so I possibly can't ask to take his position. Japan has a culture for seniority. In the end I chose Wing Spiker.

"Whew, man! I was looking forward to today so much that I barely slept last night!"

"Ah ha ha! This school is just the best! I can't believe that it's almost time for swimming! And when I say swimming, I mean girls. And when I say girls, I mean girls in school swimsuits!"

Of course as boys with active sexual hormones, I know the reason for them being in high spirits. Even I with a body of a teenager undergoing puberty felt excited.

"Hey, you guys really are pumped up with the swimming classes huh." I came to them saying.

"Ah, Seishirou. Of course we are! After all it's a rare chance you know?" an excited Ike said.

After befriending the three Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi, I started hanging out with them often.

Though I still continue with my studying and training routine to make sure my stats won't fall down. After all the stats in the system aren't consistent. Though I worked hard to grind my skills to a high level to make sure it won't drop drastically. But gaining a single stat points also is very hard.

"Hey, Professor! Come here for a sec!"

"Uh, you called?"

A chubby boy, apparently nicknamed "The Professor," approached them slowly. If I remembered correctly, his name was Sotomura.

"Professor, to can you record the girls wearing their swimsuits for us?" Ike asked.

"Leave it to me. I'll pretend to be sick so that I can skip class and observe."

"Record? What are you planning?" I asked feeling something ominous.

"The Professor is going to rank the girls' breast sizes for us. If we're lucky, he'll get some pictures with his phone."

"Hey, hey." Sudou visibly drew back in response to Ike's plan.

If the girls found out about it, the consequences would be severe. Is making friends with these guys actually be good? I felt like I regretted this decision a little bit now.

If I hanged out with guys like them, will I actually get a girlfriend? I sighed thinking that my skill "Luck X" had bugged somehow. Wait does the system even get bugged in the first place?

And besides I remember that there was a pool episode, but didn't that only happened in episode 2 after our teacher announced we can't get Private Points?

"Hey Seishirou."

"Huh? What's up?"

"To tell you the truth, we're taking bets on the girls' chest sizes." Ike said as if he hadn't say something bad.

"We've come up with some probabilities." The professor said.

The Professor took out a tablet and opened a spreadsheet. The names of all the girls in our class were displayed.

"Woah, this is amazing."

If the girls knows of this, they would definitely say "gross" or "disgusting" with an unpleasant face.

It's over.... I can't get a girlfriend now.....

"So, what's your wager? It's 1000 points to join."

"Hmm... Let me see..."

"Come on, play with us. It's no fun if there're only a few people betting, you know?"

"I'll do it!"

"Me too, me too!"

"I have experience scouting girls and checking out their tits!"

I recalculated the data in the spreadsheet and observed the girls in class with quick succession. I arrive to a conclusion that the numbers in the spreadsheet are more than 80% accurate. Honestly even I'm a little bit creeped out how highly accurate it is.

"I'll join, too. By the way, my money's on Sakura." Yamauchi chimed in.

Sakura huh... One of the reoccurring characters in the anime. Also seeing her in reality, her boobs really are big huh.

"I'm only telling you guys about this. The truth is, I actually confessed to Sakura." started Yamauchi with an obvious lie.

"What?! S-seriously?!" Ike was the most surprised and flustered by this.

"Yeah, seriously. But keep this on the down low. It's just between us, okay? I mean, I thought she was really plain at first, but then I saw her wearing regular clothes. She was huge, man."

"You doofus. If she's not cute, you shouldn't ask her out, even if she's got huge tits. I wouldn't date anyone unless they were in the same league as Kushida or Hasebe. I'm not interested in such a Plain Jane."

No you're quite wrong there Ike. Out of everyone in the class, Sakura might be the most popular. She was an idol who published some gravure magazines when she's still a Middle Schooler you know? She was just disguising herself with a fake glasses and plain hairstyle to make sure no one recognizes her.

Of course I can't possibly say that to them, and how I even manage to know such a thing.

'

"All right, it's the pool!"

After that we wear our swimsuits in the locker rooms.

"Woah dude! You're packing with great muscles there!" Ike shouted in surprise.

"H-hey, be quiet will you? And don't stare at me like that, It's creepy!"

The guys inside the changing rooms began looking at me after Ike draw their attention to me.

My muscles on my body were developed perfectly by the System. After all I have the "Physique X" skill which gave me the perfectly balanced and optimized body structure. Or so according to what the system tells me.

The guys inside stopped looking at me after I told them and quickly changed.

Soon we get out from the room and a 50 meter wide pool greets us. The facility really is architecturally amazing. It even has a roof like a municipal pool in my hometown, just much bigger and better.

"What about the girls? Aren't they here yet?"

Ike looked around, sniffing the air like a dog.

"You know girls being girls, they took a really long time with everything you know?"

"Hey, I wonder would what happen if I just suddenly jumped into the girls' locker room?" Ike said.

"They'd gang up on you, beat the crap out of you until they make sure your family jewels are stomped flat, and then file charges at you for sexual harassment, probably."

"Don't give me such a realistic, deadpan answer and ruin my fun!" Ike began to tremble with fright as he played that scenario in his head.

"Ha ha ha!" I laughed at his retort.

We waited for the girls to arrive.

"Wow! It's so spacious! It's so much bigger than the pool at my junior high school."

After a few minutes we could hear a voice of a girl amazed by the pool.

Though Ike's expectations(including mine) were met with disappointment with the unexpected turn of events.

"Hasebe isn't here! Wh-what's going on, Professor?!" Ike cried.

Ike asked the professor who was in the observation deck, only for us to turn grim as he was busted.

The situation had become clear. Hasebe stood behind the Professor on the observation deck. One by one, the rest of the girls appeared, until they'd all emerged onto the second floor. Sakura was among them.

"The situation had become clear. Hasebe stood behind the Professor on the observation deck. One by one, the rest of the girls appeared, until they'd all emerged onto the second floor. Sakura was among them."

I understand your frustrations Ike. Even I felt the opportunity to see girls on skin tight swimsuits was disheartening.

We fooled around like immature teenagers we are. A few minutes later our teacher came to us.

First he let us do our stretches and then a warm up. He let us swim for a lap of 50 meters.

"I'll have you start competing against each other. We'll separate groups by gender. Fifty-meter freestyle."

"C-compete?! Are you serious?" Ike cried.

"I'll give out a special bonus to the first-place winner: 5000 points. The student who comes in last place, however, will have to take supplementary lessons. Get ready."

The skilled swimmers cheered with joy, while the less confident students groaned.

"Because we don't have very many girls, I'll split you into two groups of five people, and the student with the fastest overall time will be the winner. As for the boys, I'll look at the top five finishing times and then move on to a final round."

Because of the prize, it lit a fire of competition on the students.

"Everyone, burn these images into your mind! Remember the fap material you see here today!" Ike cried.

"Yeah!" everyone shouted(including me).

Somehow, swimming had strengthened the boys bond. The only exception was Hirata, who seemed to avoid looking at the girls.

The whistle blew and 5 girls dived into the water. One of them was a person I had my eye on, Horikita. As expected her looks was top tier. She ended up on second place, just before a swimming club member Onodera.

To the boys, results were of secondary importance. Their eyes were glued to the girls' jiggling butts and tits. I stared(ogled) at Horikita, too. I'm still a healthy young boy too you know?

And then the second race began. In the end Onodera who was a swimming club member was first with a time of 26 seconds. Horikita came second place. As for Kushida she had a 31 seconds time making her at 4th place.

Next is the competition between the boys. The first batch had Sudou and Ayanokouji in it.

Sudou won the first place with 25 seconds. And as expected Ayanokouji hiding his true strength finished only at tenth place.

"Wow, you're amazing, Sudou. You finished the race in twenty-five seconds!" the boys and girls cried in admiration.

"Sudou, won't you consider joining the swim team? If you practice, you could probably win at competitions!"

"Basketball is my only sport. Swimming's just for fun." Sudou, who hadn't even broken a sweat, calmly got out of the pool.

"Oh, wow, he has absolutely outstanding motor skills."

Ike, feeling envious, elbowed Sudou.

"Kya!" A girl let out a joyful scream as Hirata took his starting position.

Whereas Sudou's body had attracted the boys admiration, Hirata's body attracted the girls. He was slender, but also well built. You could say he was a macho pretty boy. After hearing the girls delighted squeals for Hirata, Ike spat in response. Sudou didn't seem very amused either, and shot Hirata a glare.

"I'm gonna give it a go this time. Wish me luck guys." I gave them a thumbs up as I went on to my starting lane.

"Don't you dare lose to Hirata, Seishirou. Or I'll beat your ass when you come back."

"Don't say some scary things!"

Jeez, what does he think of me? A swimming professional?

"Let's do our best, Seishirou-kun."

"Ah, yeah. You too."

When I was in my starting position I could sense multiple gazes drawn into me. It made me chill down coming from my spine. Seriously what was it?

~~~~~

Skill Level Up!

Charm VII –> Charm VIII

~~~~~

What? Right now? Really? Is it because I'm showing my bare upper body?

Somehow I could feel the gazes multiply when I received the notifications of my Charm skill Leveling Up, especially with the girls.

When the whistle was blown the world around me moved in slow motion. I was under an immense concentration as I used my "Sports VIII" skill. My blood pumped faster and adrenaline filled my bloodstream.

My body cut through the waters as I moved my body with practiced motions and won the race by a mile.

"22.98 seconds!"

Cheers erupted from the audience. The star of the show shifted from Hirata to me.

Dammit... This is gonna be a lot of trouble. I guess I'll just act like I normally do.

I climbed up back up from the pool.

"There, that should be enough right?" I said with a brightened smile feeling proud of myself.

"You bastard! Who would have think you were that good huh?" Sudou came to me and put his arms around my shoulders feeling frustrated, but I could tell he wasn't really mad at me.

"So cool Seishirou, you mercilessly slaughtered Hirata!" Ike cried in admiration.

"I-I can swim faster than that." I can hear Yamauchi lied as natural as he breathed.

Kushida also came to me with a brightened and surprised face, "That was so amazing Seishirou-kun! You were so fast!"

"Ah ha ha ha..." Honestly I don't really mind the praises. But it's kinda embarrassing getting so much attention.

The next race there was Kouenji who almost beat my record, but in the end he only got 23.22 seconds.

And in the final race it was against me, Kouenji, Sudou, Hirata, and another guy. And I got the first place as expected.

I happily recieved the reward of 5,000 points after that.

A swimming competition. Seriously this would have been an interesting part if the anime showed this.
