Wearing this new uniform felt strange. The fabric felt high-quality, way better than the cheap polyester suits I used to wear in my past life. But what was weirder was how the uniform fit my new teenage body perfectly. No gut pressing against the belt. My shoulders felt broader. I felt... lighter.
[Don't get too excited, Host. This body might be younger, but its specs are trash. Your strength and stamina stats are even lower than the average female student here. You are basically garbage.]
'Thanks for the confidence boost, you asshole text box,' I retorted internally while fixing my tie in the mirror. 'At least I won't die from a heart attack just climbing the stairs.'
[That can be arranged.]
I decided to ignore it. I took a deep breath, gathering the last shreds of my courage. This was it. My first mission. A mission that would determine whether I'd start my first day in this world with a new power or with diarrhea-soaked pants.
I carefully opened my door, peeking into the dorm corridor. Empty. Looks like most students were already out for breakfast or enjoying the morning. Good. Fewer witnesses.
This male dorm was an old but well-maintained stone building. A red carpet ran along the hallway, and magical torches glowing with a calm blue flame hung on the walls, providing gentle light. This was a hundred times better than my cramped apartment.
I crept along the corridor, every creak of the wooden floor under my feet sounding like an explosion to my tense ears. My goal was the main courtyard, the best place to "observe" a target.
As I stepped out of the dorm building, my eyes were immediately hit by an amazing sight.
Before me stretched a wide, green lawn, perfectly manicured. Marble paths snaked through flower gardens blooming with impossible colors. In the distance, the main academy building stood grandly like a fairytale castle, its sharp towers seemingly piercing the bright blue sky.
And most importantly... the female students.
Shit. The beauty standards in this world were seriously off the charts.
Girls with colored hair, red, blue, silver, pink, and more... strolled around in small groups, their melodious laughter sounding like music.
And their bodies... oh my god, their bodies. Every girl I saw was the embodiment of the wildest hentai fantasies. Big tits jiggling under their uniforms, slim waists, and perfectly round asses clearly outlined beneath their skirts.
This isn't an academy. This is heaven. A heaven full of landmines in the form of my system's perverted missions.
[Stop spacing out and start hunting, virgin. You only have 50 minutes left. You can feel your stomach starting to churn, right?]
I immediately grabbed my stomach. Damn, he was right. There was a weird, slight cramping feeling. Was this a placebo effect or could this system really trigger a disaster in my bowels? I wasn't going to risk it.
I started scanning the crowd, looking for the ideal target. A girl alone? Too suspicious if I approached. A group of girls? Too many eyes watching. I needed a perfect situation. A golden opportunity.
My eyes finally landed on a girl crouching near one of the flower gardens, a bit far from the main path. Her back was to me. Her hair was blonde, tied in pigtails with green ribbons. From my position, I could see the silhouette of her round, firm butt, her gray skirt slightly pulled up, showing a small part of her smooth thigh.
Bingo.
[Target identified. Situation analysis: Low risk, high reward potential. Target's position is extremely favorable. Host, this is your chance. Don't be a loser.]
'Shut up, I'm thinking,' I replied.
I couldn't just walk straight up behind her and peek. That's too obvious. I needed an excuse. A distraction.
I looked around. A few meters from where I was standing, there was a small water spigot used for watering the garden. And next to it, lay a ball... or rather, a ball of magic yarn that someone seemed to have left. It was about the size of my fist.
A sneaky plan started forming in my perverted brain.
I casually walked towards the spigot, pretending I wanted a drink. I made sure no one was watching me. Then, with a quick move, I grabbed the ball of yarn.
'Okay, this is it. One shot,' I thought, measuring the distance and angle.
I twisted my body slightly, then with a motion made to look like I slipped, I "accidentally" threw the yarn ball.
Wush!
The yarn ball rolled perfectly on the grass, following my calculated path, and stopped right next to the girl's right foot.
"Ah!" I exclaimed with a deliberately startled voice, loud enough to catch her attention.
The girl turned her head. Her face was sweet, with a few freckles on her nose. Her green eyes looked at me with confusion.
"I-I'm sorry!" I said, walking closer, putting on the most awkward and apologetic expression I could muster. "My hand slipped, I dropped it by accident."
"Oh, it's okay," she said in a gentle voice, a small smile playing on her lips.
She then turned to pick up the yarn ball. Since she was already half-crouched, she just needed to lean forward a bit more. And at that exact moment... heaven opened before my eyes.
Her skirt lifted a couple more centimeters. Just enough.
Underneath, I saw a small piece of clean white fabric. The design was simple, but it had thin lace trim on the edges. A plain white cotton panty. Classic. Pure. Perfect.
[Target Identified: Lace-Trimmed Cotton Panties.]
[Color: White.]
[Tutorial Mission Complete!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have taken your first step on the path of perversion! Rewards are being processed.]
[You receive: 50 Hentai Points (HP)!]
[You receive: Passive Skill [Eagle Eye (Lv. 1)]!]
The confirmation panel appeared so fast, I almost cheered out loud. I did it! No diarrhea!
The girl picked up the yarn ball and stood, handing it to me. "Here," she said.
"Th-thank you so much!" I replied, trying to hide my smile.
She just nodded, then went back to tending the flowers. I turned and walked away with a triumphant strut.
[Not bad for a beginner. Your acting was surprisingly convincing. Maybe you have a hidden talent for being a scammer.]
'I prefer to call it... tactical improvisation,' I shot back proudly.
As I walked back to the dorm, I couldn't stop the smile on my face. This world might be dangerous and my system might be insane. But for the first time in a long time, I felt... alive. I felt like the protagonist of my own story.
I slammed my room door shut and leaned my back against the solid wood, my breathing slightly ragged. My heart was still pounding, not from fear, but from pure adrenaline. The feeling of successfully completing a mission, even a perverted one, felt... incredible. It was a sensation I never felt in my old life.
I smiled widely, the satisfied grin of a bastard.
"I did it," I whispered to myself.
[Don't get cocky, Host. That was just a tutorial designed so even a monkey like you could complete it. The real challenge hasn't even begun.]
The blue panel reappeared, its sharp words instantly ruining my moment of bliss.
'Fuck you,' I countered mentally, though I couldn't entirely hide my excitement. 'Now, about my reward. Explain this [Eagle Eye] skill. What's the point?'
[As explained, it is a passive skill that sharpens your vision. At Level 1, you can see through up to two layers of thin clothing if you focus mana into your eyes. The higher the level, the fewer clothes can block your view. At maximum level, even walls won't be a problem.]
My brain stopped working for a second as I processed that last sentence. Walls. X-ray vision. The potential of this skill... was truly limitless. This was a god-tier power for a peeping tom.
"How do I activate it? Mana?" I asked, walking toward my room window which overlooked another courtyard where a few female students were chatting under a tree.
[So impatient. This body possesses a mana circuit, although it is very weak. You have never used it, so treat it like an untrained muscle. Close your eyes. Sense the faint, warm energy around your solar plexus. That is your mana core.]
I was a bit skeptical, but I tried it anyway. I closed my eyes and concentrated. At first, nothing happened. Just darkness. But after a while, I started to feel something. A very faint warmth, like a small, barely glowing ember, pulsing softly inside my body.
[Good. Now, pull that energy upward, toward your eyes. Imagine the energy flowing like water through blood vessels. And most importantly, you must have "intent." A strong, pure intention to "see." Imagine you want to strip your target naked with your gaze. Literally.]
Incredibly perverted instructions, but very easy to understand. I opened my eyes and focused my gaze on a group of three girls laughing together in the distance. I chose one target: a girl with short blue hair and the most voluptuous body among the three.
I took a deep breath, recalling the warm sensation. I pulled it up, imagining the flow of energy moving toward my eyes. Then, I stared at the girl with all the lewd intent I could muster.
'Naked... naked... show me...'
At first, nothing happened. I just felt my eyes get a little hot.
[Stronger, you impotent idiot! Your intent is weak! Do you really want it?!]
The System seemed to be yelling inside my head. I growled in frustration. I wanted it, of course I wanted it! I focused all the sexual frustration bottled up from my 30 miserable years of life into one single gaze.
And then, something magical happened.
The world around me seemed to lose its color for a moment, and my vision sharpened on the girl. Her black blazer and white shirt began to look transparent; I could see the faint outlines of the clothing underneath.
I pushed harder, channeling more of that warm sensation into my eyes. The transparency became clearer. The blazer and shirt were now like thin layers of glass. And underneath... I saw it.
A sexy black lace bra, barely managing to contain her two large, round tits. Below that, I could see the upper edge of matching panties.
"Shit... this... this is amazing!" I whispered, my voice trembling. My cock instantly stiffened, saluting this heavenly sight.
[See? I give you power, not just empty talk. Keep practicing, and you will be able to do this as easily as breathing.]
I continued to stare, mesmerized, until the girls finally dispersed and walked away. I blinked a few times, and the x-ray effect disappeared. My eyes felt a little tired, and the warm energy in my body felt depleted. Turns out using this skill is draining.
The System panel reappeared.
[Now that you're done messing around, it's time to check your status. Say or think 'Open Status'.]
'Open Status.'
The blue panel changed, displaying a new window similar to an RPG status screen.
[STATUS - Leon Richter]
Level: 1
HP (Health Points): 50/50
MP (Mana Points): 30/30 (Reduced after skill use)
[Basic Attributes]
Strength: 4 (Weaker than a goblin)

I read the descriptions next to my attributes. This System really had no mercy.
"Weaker than a goblin?" "Can outrun a snail?" The comments made me want to punch something. My stats were pure trash.
[You see now, right? You are the most pathetic specimen in this academy. The 50 Hentai Points you have are your only hope. You can use them in the [Shop] to buy items or temporary status boosting potions. But I suggest you save them.]
'Why?'
[Because your first Main Mission is about to arrive. And believe me, you will need every advantage you can get. That tutorial mission was just a warm-up. The next one... will involve a real target.]
The panel flashed with a new notification.
[Notification: The New Student Welcome Ceremony will begin tomorrow morning in the Main Hall. Attendance is mandatory. This will be your stage.]
The Welcome Ceremony. In the game, this was the event where the main hero met all the heroines for the first time. And now, it was going to be my stage. I had a bad feeling that my next mission wouldn't be as simple as peeking at some panties.
