What to do?

Get

Lily is incredible, she really is, but with Tutor making her act weird, I don't know if I feel comfortable with using her to take my virginity. Using her. Crazy how quickly my mindset can change after getting power. Speaking of, the one thing I always told myself before getting my Class is that when I did, I'd get ****. So, not to disappoint my younger self, that's what I'd better do. Plus, this is a good chance to see how people react to Holy Authority. Firstly however, I have to go home. My parents are definitely worried now that the sun's gone down and I still haven't come home. I've lived 18 years without getting ****, I can wait another night.

Walking down from Lily's room, I of course have to go back through the tavern area of the inn. So I walk down the stairs, wondering how Holy Authority might end up affecting my parents. What I don't expect, is what happens when I enter the tavern. The entire room goes silent. The dull drone of several conversations and the loud shouts and laughs from those who are much too drunk just stop. Perfect silence, even the drunks seem not to want to open their mouths. This might mess with my life more than I thought. Well, now's a good a time as any to try something.

"You may continue." I project my voice as much as I can and end up sounding a little silly to my own ears, but apparently nobody else noticed, because they all return to their conversations and food and drink as if nothing happened. I don't know if my brain has any more dopamine to give, but I certainly feel giddier. All this power, with no real limits or repercussions? It's like I'm living in a fantasy. I can get even stronger too! It's a lot to handle, but as I think about all of the possibilities, I get the feeling that everything is going to be way better than okay. I shake myself from my reverie, I walk up to the counter, eager to test my limits. I know I still have to go home, but that can wait right?

"Hi there." I say to the bartender. He looks at me with an expression I can't quite read.

"How much for a room?" He blinks, and hands me a key from off the key rings behind him. He still hasn't spoken a word, but suddenly I'm standing there with keys to a room in my hand.

"I didn't actually want a room, I just wanted to know how much one cost." I explain it to him, only partially registering that he just gave me a room for free.

"1 silver a night, free for you sir." he finally speaks up, and his voice is much less powerful than his build suggested, though maybe that's just how I feel now that I'm in such an overwhelmingly superior position. He called me sir as well, though I still don't know if that's because of Holy Authority or if it's just how he refers to customers.

"Interesting. Say, I have something to ask you. I quite like that server girl, who is she?" I gesture in the vague direction of the waitress. I haven't really looked at her all that much, I just want to see how he reacts.

"She's my daughter sir, if you like her you can have her." he offers his own daughter so readily to a complete stranger! This feeling is the best. I turn around and search for the girl who is now apparently mine. I see her serving a table, and she bends over to set down a mug of ale. It gives me a decent view of her ass. She's definitely cute, but with the superhumanly attractive women I've seen recently, she's nothing special. I have no intentions to actually take her, I have nothing against this inn and it would most likely suffer if I took away its poster girl. Even if I may be a bit on the selfish side I'm not entirely immoral. That doesn't mean I can't use her to test my Skill. I walk up to her, and with absolutely no warning, sidle up behind her and grab her shoulders. She jumps a little bit, and her body tenses. She's clearly upset, and starts to turn around to give whoever it is a piece of her mind. When her eyes flit to me, all fight drains from her body. Then, I'm surprised again. I thought she would go meek, casting her eyes down to the floor in **** acceptance, but that isn't what happened at all. She turns to me, the fight goes out of her eyes, and then a broad smile blooms on her face. She doesn't say anything, doesn't move, just smiles. The guys at the table are ignoring us completely. Fuck it, let's go all in. I grab her crotch. Right in the middle of a crowded tavern. She's turned all the way around, smiling brightly at me, and I grab her vagina. She's wearing a dress, so the fabric folds up as I grab, folding under my hand. It's not really direct contact, but definitely still something that shouldn't be done. I look her in the eyes as I do it, hand curling around her pubic mound. Her smile doesn't fade. A stranger is clutching her pubic mound in public and she's just smiling about it. I might do something I'll regret if I let this go any further. I let go, walk back to the bartender, quickly tell him that I actually don't want her, and leave as fast as I can.

I have a raging boner, but after what happened in the tavern I don't care if anybody sees. I briskly walk home, the familiar streets feeling foreign with the wide berth other pedestrians are giving me. It's like a protective bubble that nobody enters. As I rush past, I can see women who notice my boner smiling, and men who see it averting their eyes. This is weird, really weird. Exciting, definitely, but weird. I really hope my mom doesn't act any different. She's not exactly ugly, but she's definitely not MILF material and plus I don't really have any incestuous fantasies. Except for my cousin. Anyways, I really don't want my mom smiling at my boner. That might be one of the most uncomfortable things that could happen. I make it onto my street, walk over to my house, and quickly slip in. I stand inside the door, breathing heavily. I mean, I'm not really tired because of my high constitution, but it just feels like the right thing to do. My excitement and anxiety swirl around in the pit of my stomach, making it hard to step out of the foyer. I collect myself, centering myself on the confidence that no matter how weird it is, I can fix it. I control my power, it doesn't control me. I walk into my living room, ready for the worst. Then, my newfound powers surprise me yet again. My family greets me entirely as normal. I don't know if its some manifest of my will or if something else is going on, but they act the same as always.

"So? What did you get?" my sister bounds over to me and barrels into my chest. Normally this would knock me off balance a little, but with my higher strength stat, I'm completely unfazed. My sister notices this difference and looks up at me with a mischievous grin on her face. Relaxed by the casual environment, I pull my Class card out of my pocket and hand it to her.

"Tutor? That sounds lame." she says, ecstatic expression replaced with frank disappointment.

"It's way cooler than it sounds." I don't really feel like explaining the details, a bit irrationally afraid that if I tell them about Holy Authority it'll suddenly start affecting them. Upon hearing my words, my sister looks back up at me hopefully, waiting for me to elaborate. Instead of that, I decide to show by example. I scoop her up with one hand, something I never could've done before, and set her on my shoulder. She giggles on the way up and lets out a "woah!" as she's hoisted by her side. Being 16 (so don't get any funny ideas), she's not exactly small, but with my elevated strength stat, she's as light as a feather. I gently set her down, take the card from her hand, and turn to my mom.

"Where have you been?" she asks, mock upset.

"I'm an adult, I can go wherever I want" I reply, mimicking her demeanor. "Nah, let me tell you, my Class is amazing. I won't go into too much detail, but I'm already level 30." Her eyes widen, and a smile starts to form on her face.

"That's great! Is it some kind of super growth or a head start or something?"

"Something like that." I smile back. "I'm gonna head up to my room if that's okay with you, I want to turn in early tonight."

"Of course honey, just make sure to say good night to your father first." she angles her head in his direction.

"Night, dad"

"Night, son" and just like that my interaction with my dad was over. I go up the stairs and disappear into my bedroom, only to find my sister sitting on the bed.

"Tell me moore" she whines playfully, clearly excited for her own Class reveal in 2 years.

"Maybe tomorrow," I respond, hoping to get to tomorrow as quickly as possible. Laura isn't really nocturnal, despite her bitchiness she's still relatively studious so there's no real chance of catching her out at night. It'll be much easier to find her at the Academy tomorrow. My sister pouts, but heads off to her own room anyways. I collapse onto my bed, letting all the emotions of the day spill out of me. While I'm here I might as well choose another skill. Penultimate one this time. Though I'm sure I'll get more soon enough.

Skill Choice:

(Passive) Knowledge is Power: The total number of Skills owned by the user and their tutees is added to every attribute.

Or

Painful Thoughts (Cost: ? HP): The user may consult the Akashic Records. Amount of HP drained is proportionate to the value of the knowledge gained.

Knowledge is power is clearly another incredibly powerful skill. I get more tutees, I get exponentially stronger. Painful Thoughts though, it doesn't seem like that good of a skill, but its mysterious nature makes me curious. My HP is already pretty high, and its something that isn't too difficult to increase I could even do it temporarily with potions, so I could probably ask pretty meaningful questions. Its definitely tempting, but since I don't have a good way of telling how much a single question could cost, it might not be the best idea.

Which one should I choose?
