(skill dump incoming)

[Soru: Lvl 1

Allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power.

The amount of kicks needed to use the technique will reduce by 1 step when the skill levels up.]

[Geppo: Lvl 1

Allows users to push themselves off the air itself with superhumanly strong kicks, allowing them to travel through and remain in midair for an extended period of time.

When the skill is maxed out, you only need to think so you can use Geppo. There's also no time limit to remain in midair when the skill is maxed out.]

[Tekkai: Lvl 1

The technique hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, allowing them to withstand and effectively nullify any damage they might have taken from attacks. Tekkai can also be used to enhance the user's attacks by the increased density one gets from using it. You also cannot move when you activate Tekkai.

Increase durability by 5%

Increase attack strength by 5%

When skill is maxed out, the user can move while using Tekkai.]

[ Rankyaku: Lvl 1

A powerful projectile technique, in which the users start by kicking at very high speeds and strength, which results in a sharp compressed blade of wind or 'Sickle Wind' that can slice through objects and greatly damage a human body.]

[ Shigan: Lvl 1

It is a close-quarter combat technique, in which the user pushes whichever finger into a certain target at a very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound.

When the skill is maxed out, the user can deflect projectiles as strong as iron without the risk of their fingers breaking.]

[Kami-e: Lvl 1

Allows users to relax their body and make it take on the characteristics of a piece of paper; this grants the user extraordinary flexibility that allows them to avoid any attacks.

The body being in this paper-like state also allows the user to float on the wind, as well as the ability to bend and contort their body.]

[Aesthetic Bodybuilding: 23%]

[Sprinting: Lvl Max

Increase sprinting speed by 100%

Decrease stamina used by 100% while running.]

Issei was currently running towards Kuoh Academy. He woke up late once again but this time he arrived in front of the school gates after a few minutes of sprinting.

He zoomed past an unsuspecting Sona who squealed as her skirt was blown up by the gust of wind that followed Issei's sprint.

"Serves you right, Souna. That's for all the teasing and mocking." Issei whispered.

.

Issei was sketching an elf girl when suddenly he was interrupted by Matsuda and Motohama. Matsuda slammed his hands onto Issei's desk.

"What has gotten into you these days?! You're acting so weird!" Matsuda demanded.

"First you completely stopped peeping on the kendo club girls! Now you don't even eat lunch with us anymore! Did the devil possess you or something?! " Motohama asked with an angered face.

" No, he didn't. The devil can't possess me, I'll kick his ass before he even tries. " Issei stood up and looked down at them. His height had increased during his training with Gyatsu. Now he's 5'9(175.26 cm). It's not as tall as Issei would like to be but Gyatsu assured him that he'll get there one day.

"The reason why I'm acting like this is because I've found friends, actual friends who I can count on." Issei smiled at Murayama and Katase to which they smiled back at him.

"I'm done being a pervert. I'm done being the leader of the Perverted Trio. I'm done being a low life. I found something better to do other than being a pervert. Like working out and sketching shit. You guys can go piss off somewhere else." Issei declared.

" This isn't you Issei! What happened to wanting to become the Harem King?! " Matsuda ask stubbornly. Issei smirked.

" Oh that? That's still my number one dream. I'm just doing it from the other way." Issei was about to sit back down on his seat but he looked at them again.

" Oh and if you two try to jump me, which you can't, I'll kill you before you even realize what's happening. " Issei glared at them menacingly. Matsuda and Motohama gulped, feeling pure fear.

They slowly backed away and exited the classroom. Issei sighed and sat back down. He looked at the girls in his class whp were staring at him with admiration in their eyes. He smiled at them.

"Do you guys want a sketch of yourself? It's $3 per sketch."

.

" So. I heard about what happened in your class. " Sona commented as they were playing a game of chess.

" Yeah, I feel like a big weight has been lifted off me again. It's refreshing. Now I can fully focus on the self improvement journey without looking back— Ah fuck. " Issei cursed as his rook has been captured by Sona's bishop.

Sona giggled happily. " But you're still careless as always. You've improved that's for sure, but I've only started thinking." Sona replied.

[Chess: Lvl 40]

'What is her level bro?! Must be level 150 or something!' Issei thought while he moved a bishop to check her king, but cursed again as Sona captured that same bishop with her queen.

Sona grinned evilly at him. Issei pouted a little and kept playing.

Eventually, Issei lost yet again. "I've won 1708 rounds against you now, Issei. You will never defeat me no matter how much you think you can. Never in my life has someone come close to defeating me." Sona ranted on and on about how good she was at the game of chess. Issei clenched.

"And that is why I will never be your girlfriend—Mmh!! " Sona widened her eyes as Issei cupped her face with his hands and pulled her in.

Issei leaned in too and kissed her tenderly.

" Chu!~"

The kiss lasted for a few seconds before Issei released it. Sona sat back down on her seat. She was blushing heavily, her head had steam steaming upwards to the ceiling. She was very flustered.

"Wh-what the heck, Issei! Why did you do that!" Sona cupped her face and looked down shyly.

"Hehehe. You were talking too much. Your mouth enticed me and I couldn't resist. I also wanna say your lips are very soft, Souna. I like it. " Issei kept complimenting her with a grin on his face, making Sona embarrassed even more.

"That's v-very rude of you, Issei. Never do that again without my permission!" Sona replied, but then she realized what she said and blushed even more. Her face was beet red.

"Oh, so you wanna do that again? Why didn't you say so?" Issei grin got wider. Sona waved her hands repeatedly.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Sona replied hastily. Issei sighed.

" Well at least I got that stick out of your ass for a while." Issei grumbled. There was a very uncomfortable silence that followed after. Issei felt like he did something wrong.

"I'll take my leave now. Let's just pretend that never happened okay? I'm sorry. " Issei whispered and started walking towards the door.

Suddenly, he felt something tugging on his uniform. He looked back to see a shy Sona tugging on his blazer with her right hand.

" Please.... don't go, Issei.... stay with me.....
