I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 8: Eccentric

It was now morning, and Fein was on his way back to the base after breakfast with his family... He must say that having a family is very nice, though he can’t really love his new mother as much as his previous one at present... He still deeply respects her for the concern she gave him... despite the fact that He was aware that it was not for him... but for his predecessor. He doesn’t feel a speck of guilt because whether he took his body or not, the predecessor will still be dead in the end.

Fein will exact his vengeance for him for the cost of using his body... That was really the only thing he could do at this point. Plus, He’d already planned to deal with the perpetrator when he got stronger in some way...

It had already been a week since that encounter, and Fein must admit that it surprised him when he learned that she was not only from a noble family, but also from a prestigious one. Sofia provided him with a way to contact her... because they decided to give him access to their library for one week as a compensation for saving them... This library contains many techniques recording advanced Degu applications. It also contains numerous books that are not available to the public. This was not your typical library. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

-Ranger’s Eye Base-

Fein was in the office with Kidd, and they were listening to their captain’s daily blabbering about the progress of the investigation... Apparently, the perpetrator of his incident is a tough nut to crack; he was an expert at covering his tracks.

“Fein...” Gregory called him out as he smoked his usual cigar...

.....

Fein asked him a question, trying not to sound bored in his tone of voice. “Captain, what now?”

“Are you not listening to what I’m saying?” Gregory’s brows crumpled, indicating his annoyance.

Fein pretended to think of something while staring at the ceiling. “Captain... I believe I forgot.”

*Tch*

Kidd, who was on his side, was trying hard not to laugh. “Man, you got me right there...” while holding Fein’s shoulders for support.

Fein can confidently say that after knowing them for about a year and a half, their relationship was steadily improving. During this time, they have been a very genuine and good company to him. Captain Gregory always has a serious expression on his face, but on the inside, he always expresses his concern and guides them when they make a mistake. He reminded him of an older brother... Kidd, on the other hand, was the goofy one, despite his appearance... He was a narcissist who liked to show off, and he had a habit of looking in the mirror while shirtless and doing some poses to show off his muscles...

Crystal was in charge of logistics, and she was gentle, dependable, and like a good old sister on the team. Finally, there’s the rising star in the Ranger’s Eye... Michael, he was only three years older than him, but he was a true genius... Having a C rank strength at the age of 25 is very impressive when compared to Captain Gregory, who was already 43 years old and still C Rank. Not to mention that they widely regarded his talent as extremely versatile.

He can already blend into the shadows of non-sentinients in Class F... At E rank, he can blend into the shadows of living beings, and at D rank, he can travel to the shadow world to perform teleportation-like feats... Now he had a new ability application in C rank that was extremely lethal. He can cut the shadows of targets of the same rank as him and below, causing the target to lose that part of their body regardless of defense. If he severed the shadow’s head, the target will perish instantly. Despite the fact that he can only use it once because it drains his degu reserves instantly, it was a terrifying ability.

Consider when he reaches A rank... At that point, he has the ability to kill anyone in the same realm as him multiple times. That’s why, no matter how talented Fein becomes, He resolved never to underestimate anyone... After all, there is a plethora of strange and unpredictable abilities out there... Humans only have one life, and whether or not he has the potential, in the end, it was only potential, which does not equate to strength. It only limits how far you can travel. The only thing that is certain is one’s own strength. Because countless geniuses die before reaching their full potential.

“So... are you ready to put your skills to the test?” Captain Gregory asked, his usual expression on his face.

His question abruptly interrupted his useless philosophical thoughts.

Fein just walked up to the door, looked at the two of them solemnly, and answered. “Yes” and then left quickly...

Kidd and gregory looked taken aback from his dramatic yet anticlimactic response...

Kidd, still speechless, looked at Fein’s back and quietly said to the captain, “What a strange quirk...”

“Well, we just need to follow him...” Gregory said helplessly.

Weapon’s Basement

Various types of weapons were either lying on a table or hanging above the wall in a dark basement.

Fain was now quietly listening to his captain as he explained the various characteristics of weapons, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Gregory himself was a veteran fighter. That’s why he knows a thing or two about weapons. Not really skilled, but enough to know the way around them.

Fain was now wondering if he could really master all the weapons here in such a short period of time...

After all, there were knives, daggers, swords, bayonets, clubs, axes, spears, slings, bows, crossbows, and other strange weapons he had never seen before.

To boost his confidence, he looked at his interface.

Name: Fein Bonifacio

Race: Human

Talent: B (88/8100EXP)

Ratio: 1 in 100,000 Genius

Degu Amount: Lvl 4 [C] (0/2700 EXP)

Total EXP: 0

Str: D (14/900)

Agi: C (13/2700)

End: D (23/900)

Yes, he was now a C-Rank Degu User without their knowledge, and he can already compete with the Captain... There was also a noticeable increase in talent... He once decided to look at a clown juggling in the street; Fein just looked at it and with his B rank talent, he instantly learned it... Now, he can also do some juggling, which isn’t a particularly difficult skill. Nonetheless, one in a hundred thousand genius... Fein was now terrified of his own talent.
