2 Figuring it out

As the bell rang to signal the end of the day, Michael closed the History textbook he was reading even though it was English class. After pocketing the several numbers he received, then squeezing through the several girls surrounding his table after that.

Micheal finally managed to make his way out of the school as quickly as he could. He was trying to get home quickly, not planning to waste anytime when he be spending it learning new skills. Thinking back to today, he realized that he didn't even try to strike up any conversations with the main characters and decided to just leave it all to the future

Digging through the stuff in his bag, he took out the map after putting back the other things before he started to look for his way home since he had no idea where the hell he was at all after realizing he didn't get any memories when he got this body

(Map reading +1)

Raising his eyebrow in surprise as he honestly wasn't expecting that, ' so does it register every action then counts it as a skill or only specific actions? I'll have to test it to find out' turning his attention back to the map, he found his path home even easier now with the new skill

He found that is was actually close to the school so he decided to travel by foot. Breaking into a light jog, he missed a step and nearly fell before he found himself slightly adjusting his posture the longer he jogged, making him wonder if he got a new skill, only for his assumption to be proven right in the next second

(Jogging +1)

As he jogged he thought about what he noticed from the system so far after deciding against running to see if he would get the skill. He decided to classify the skills he could learn into active and passive skills.

Passive skills instantly give you the relevant information about whatever topic caused him to gain the skill while active skills only perfect and guide you to performing the skill, providing only the most basic of information.

Throughout the jog he found that if you don't have the physical capability ,even if you have the skill you won't be able to use it properly.

One such example would be the jogging skill he just got, the higher his Proficiency, the more information it provided and the better it corrected his form, which made him save more energy even though he was covering more distance between each step but because of how crappy the body was he was still beginning to feel drained after a few minutes of jogging

So that means he still had to train his body properly so he could make full use of his skills and not turn into a glass cannon. After taking a break by the bus top on the side of the road, he started trying to catch a breath as the sweat ran down his face and his body drenching his clothes

( Breathing +1)

( Resting +1)

As he sat back on the seat, he found that 2 sets of information filled his mind, one teaching him a particular way to breath and the other teaching him the optimal way to rest to speed up his recovery.

Deciding to follow the instructions, he started the strange way of breathing and the way to rest, after he found that there was no issue using both at the same time and instantly felt his tense muscles start to relax, while the headache from the information filling his mind started to subside and his disordered breath calmed, causing him to smile

"not bad, not bad at all" exclaimed Michael after resting for a few minutes, he continued on his way, instantly feeling a difference in his breathing as he jogged.

Moving through the streets, he held the map and made his way specific area leading him to a medium sized 2 story house, with an unkempt garden and over grown yard.

According to the back story he was given by the system when he entered this world, his mother was British and his father was Japanese, they died late last year in an car accident , leaving only this house and a few thousand yen to get by causing to shake his head wryly

' I need to find a source of income ' thought Michael as several ideas flashed through his mind

Honestly he felt nothing for these 'parents' of his but he still found himself feeling somewhat grateful for he help they provided even if it wasn't intended for him

Walking to the front door, he took the keys from his pocket after he found them in his bag earlier and opened the door before walking in, the house was relatively normal and it was somewhat clean, he had to give props to the attention to detail, seeing how closely it went back with his back story as the house just screamed depression

After exploring the house and finding the room he'd call his own, he took off his uniform jacket throwing it in the laundry room before he looked for cleaning supplies so he could start cleaning the entire house, his cleaning skill had the highest Proficiency by the time he was finished

Falling on the couch in exhaustion, he turned on the TV and started to watch, he slightly zoned out when a powerade add came on. He watched as 2 boxers fought, on of the dudes was huge and he was beating the shit out of his smaller competitor.

When the bell rung to signal the end of that round, the smaller competitor lied in his corner half dead only for the coach to open his mouth and gave him the powerade, only to see his injuries recover at a speed visible to the naked eyes and he got buffed up. The now super Saiyan boxer instantly k.o the now smaller competitor, easily winning the fight

Michael couldn't help but wonder if that was the super soldier serum instead of powerade, shaking his head at the ridiculousness of the add he got up to got take a shower then cook only to freeze as a message flashed before his eyes

(Boxing +1)

" what the fuck is this? that shit worked? " Michael couldn't help but curse but also be glad at the chances
