2nd Period: Gym

Athletics have never been your strong suit, but you're still determined to make the most of gym class. Today's activity is volleyball, something you're not particularly excited about. You've never had the physical prowess to be much good at it, but you're willing to give it your best shot.

As you start playing, you activate your Ability Osmosis power, focusing on the more skilled players around you. You can feel their techniques and strategies seeping into you, and suddenly volleyball doesn't feel quite as daunting. You find yourself anticipating the ball's trajectory better, and even managing to return it a few times.

You feel a sense of accomplishment with each successful hit, fueled by the knowledge you've borrowed from your peers. You start to enjoy the game, feeling the rush of adrenaline as you make a clever play. By the end of class, you're sweaty and tired, but also proud of yourself.

Now that you think of it…you’re not actually that tired. You can feel a pleasant warmth in your muscles, but you don’t feel winded or sluggish. A quick Appraisal on yourself as you get a drink of water at the fountain reveals the dozen or so skills you’re currently borrowing, including one that catches your eye:

Stamina: The ability to sustain physical activity with the maximum or near-maximum **** for extended periods without fatigue.

Normally it would cost 80 LP to buy, but since you’re currently borrowing it, you can buy it cheap for only 10 LP!

-10 LP
LP: 390

You buy it immediately, loving the fact that you’ll get to be this energized even after something like this, then take a look at it with Editor to see if you can enhance it a bit. You finally settle on:

Enhanced Stamina: The ability to sustain physical activity with the maximum or near-maximum **** for extended periods without fatigue. Your stamina is significantly increased, allowing you to engage in strenuous activities or prolonged battles without tiring easily.
Cost: 60

So cheap! It definitely helps to get it a piece at a time like this.

Skill Upgraded: Enhanced Stamina
-60 LP
LP: 330

You feel the telltale wave of exhaustion hit you, as you’re starting to get low on LP, then start to fade as Regeneration helps take care of the worst of it. ‘I guess that limit doesn’t go away, even with Enhanced Stamina,’ you think as you head into the locker room, ‘but at least it doesn’t last as long. Still, better get some more LP…’

You make your way past sweaty guys in every shape to your locker, unsurprised that you get no LP from it. You haven’t ruled out the possibility that you might be attracted to the right guy, but you definitely haven’t met that guy yet. ‘Oh no,’ you think with a grin as you grab your towel and slip into a shower stall for a quick rinse, ‘Whatever will I do? …should be just on the other side of that wall…’

Activating your Clairvoyance ability as you rinse, you push your perception through the wall and into the girl’s locker room.

+50 LP
+75 LP
+75 LP
+50 LP
+150 LP
+100 LP
+200 LP
+250 LP
+200 LP
+375 LP
+350 LP
+425 LP
…

The Life Points just keep pouring in, but you ignore them as you drink in the sight of so many beauties. You stroke your shaft a few times, but decide to leave it at that. ‘Don’t want to get caught doing that in here…’ You wash yourself thoroughly, settling in to enjoy the show, thankful you have a free period after this.

The LP finally slows down as the last of the girls pulls her clothes on and heads heads toward the door.

LP: 3250

You pause as you towel off, a bit stunned at the total you’ve accumulated. ‘Most only gave me a few hundred,’ you consider, ‘but there’s definitely something to be said for quantity.’ You grin and continue drying off as the last of the other guys leaves the locker room. ‘With this many LP, I could buy something pretty big…’
