Charm Training

4 days had passed and Astrid was sitting in the city park, a place full of beauties to seduce.

"I don't like it when I meet Vault, he just beats me up!" Astrid said as he recald himself and his dented divine sword infront of the thundering might of Vault of the 10 Great Families.

"Ok, since I got some free time, time to seduce some girls eh!" Astrid said as he opened his cum covered book and suddenly, the book started to talk!

"Hel-"

"AHAGAHAHHAHG!" Astrid yelled as he threw the book on the floor and started to yell like a chicken, everyone around him looked at him with disgust.

"SHUT UP!" the book yelled, suddenly, time stopped and the book looked deep into Astrid's eyes.

"Beautiful red eyes, cute cat ears, medium build, 5'11, decent pick if I was a girl. The only thing that would confirm would be your personality, we gonna have to build on that." the book said while flying around looking at Astrid in a 360 degree angle.

"I'm the spirit of the Hentai Diary, call me the Pervy Sage, cause I am, in fact the person who made the Pervy god who he is today, you have the basics, just have to refine them, now who are you?"

"I-I a-"

"No stuttering, who are you?"

"I'm Astrid!" Astrid replied with confidence.

"Good, no stuttering, unless you meet a girl who wants a weak, puny guy." the book said before time resumed.

'I am speaking in your mind now, you can think of what you want to say to me and I will hear it as well, also I have given your diary rewards for the past few days that you were missing so that is the reason for the huge boost in your stats and SP." the book said in Astrid's head.

Suddenly, a man with a Hawaiian shirt and cheap pants appeared next to Astrid, he had white hair and circular sunglasses, he also have shimmering grey eyes and a well built body with chiseled muscles. He also had a very weird hat that gave him a slither of a sexy vibe

Astrid observed the book's unique style. 'Is he Barney the dinosaur? Why does he only wear purple?'

[Oh my god, its the Pervy Sage himself, its a huge honor to meet you!] the system said as he bowed on the floor in his cat form.

"Ok, ok, no need for flattery." the sage said as he blushed.

"Hey. I've been meaning to ask you. I've noticed your clothes are a bit…unorthodox. What's with that?" Astrid asked.

Pervy Sage turned to Ben. With his mouth hanging open, he slid his fingers along the brim of his hat and tipped it. "This righteous gear?"

'Don't feed the troll,' Astrid reminded himself as he stayed silent.

"This is feathering" Pervy Sage said.

"Feathering?"

"Yea, you've heard of the bird peacock? With the beautiful feathers? Those birds attract mates with their fancy feathers. The ones with the flashiest feathers get the most females. In pick up, we have a similar concept. Flashy clothes can attract attention from females. Many people will look at you which is good for your image. Females may even open you. At the very least, you'll have an extra conversation topic when they ask you about the clothes."

Astrid thought about it. 'That's interesting, but hell no, I will not humiliate myself, plus, the only girls I will attract are crazy weirdos. I better stick with classic styles. You can't go wrong with those…'

Pervy Sage looked at his outfit and nodded. People all around the park stared at them as Pervy Sage showed looks of pride. This was the attention they were after.

"Now listen well Astrid." Pervy Sage said to gather our attention.

Pervy Sage continued. "The biggest factor in opening isn't what you say, but how you say it, also known as tone and body language. You have to be calm, confident, and obey certain rules. Once you're good enough, you can use almost any opener as long as it isn't offensive. A simple 'How are you' can work as well as anything fancy."

Astrid listened in rapt attention.

"We'll get to the specifics later. For now, let's start with a simple example. I'll go open a 2-set to show you how its done." Pervy Sage said.

"2-set?" Astrid questioned.

"Set refers to a group. The number is how many people there are in it," Pervy Sage replied. His eyes burned with anticipation. He looked around and spotted two girls sitting on a towel on the grass. Without hesitation, he approached them. Astrid watched as Pervy Sage opened these two complete strangers. He used some opener Astrid couldn't hear but it seemed to go very well.

At first, the girls' faces showed surprise. Then after a few exchanges, they loosened up and even asked the sage questions. A minute later, he was sitting down on their towel laughing with them.

[You see that? Thats how a real professional does it.]

Astrid's jaw hung down. This man was always a nerd like him before. He didn't know Pervy Sage had this in him! That was amazing! He walked up to two girls, total strangers, and now it's like he's part of their group! The girls were now patting his shoulder feathers, giggling about how soft they were. Things were going great!

[That's how you do it, watch and learn] the system said with a smile full of confidence in Pervy Sage.

Astrid nodded. It seemed he could learn a lot from this book

*Roar!*

A loud roar erupted through the park. Astrid, along with everyone nearby glanced in the direction of the noise.

Astrid saw Pervy Sage getting on all fours like a lion,*Roar!* he cried as he made some kind of joke or impression. The two girls backed away with looks of terror. They picked up their things and ran away as fast as they could.

Astrid looked over to the system whose confident smile was frozen on his face. Astrid couldn't view his eyes but he imagined they gave off an aura of wanting to die…

After a long silence, the system said, [He's still got a lot to work on after the opening part, maybe he is not used to this world yet..."

Pervy Sage sighed but shook it off and went back to the system and Astrid. When he reached them he showed a proud face to Astrid and asked, "You see that?"

Astrid stared at him. 'I don't know what I saw…'
