I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

"I see," Roger smiled. "Well, I knew you're confused about why I came here, right?" he said while pulling a couch and sat on it.

'Because you've sensed my degu energy fluctuations, is not it?' Fein could guess this thing base on how the employees in the store treated him.

But he didn't say a thing and there's a chance that Roger might have come here with a different reason that the one on his mind. "Why?" Fein manipulated his facial expression appropriately.

"Because I like making friends with a powerful person. Who one of these days one of us would need a hand?" Roger explained his reasoning.

'So it's the same as what I've guessed.'

"I've guessed as much. I even you're here to scold me for causing commotion earlier." Fein chuckled lightly.

Roger gave him a meaningful smile and says, "If it's not you, I won't even bother to come." He looked at him for a second. "How about we spar for a bit? It's been a long time since I've stretched my body."

'Damn really? Since you propose it yourself, then there's no problem,' Fein thought excitedly.

He didn't expect that Roger would propose a sparring. He really wants to fight him, but he didn't want to cause trouble. After all, he already troubled Aira earlier when he almost scared her to death.

"No problem," Fein replied calmly, but he could sense his blood flowed much faster as his fighting intent grew stronger.

Fein stored the set of clothes he ordered at the shop in his storage space. "Well, let me pay for these items first."

"How about this... If you win, you can get them for free?" Roger proposed.

Fein raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about if I lose? What's the catch?"

Although he didn't really think he would lose with the large disparity of strength between them.

"Nothing... Just treat it as a game."

Okay then, since you say so." Fein nodded, "So where do we fight now?"

"Well, there's a large underground base here," Roger replied.

Roger walked out of the room and went down to the staircase. Fein just walked behind him quietly.

'There's still an underground base here? How unexpected.'

Fein was shocked inside. After all, who would have thought of building an underground base in a clothing shop?

...

In the underground, there's a vast space that stretched like an enormous stadium. Suddenly, a dark rift appeared in the cloudy sky and two guys came out of it and descend to the ground like a meteor.

'Damn this, it's too exhilarating.' Fein felt a sudden adrenaline rush.

The powerful air current in the sky has pushed his hair upwards like a Super Saiyan. Fein looked at the realistic cloud that they passed one after another. He could feel a cold sensation when his skin passed through them. He knew that the clouds here are all artificial, just like that one in their Ranger's Eye underground base...

"Surprised?" Roger shouted while he made various acrobatic postures in the air like a professional skydiver.

*Thud!* *Thud!*

Both of them landed on the sand which produced a shockwave. The two leaped on the human-shaped pit they created.

"Why did you make it look like a desert?"

Fein looked at the familiar environment. It's just like that one in the Secret Realm. Except for the temperature, it's already milder than the latter. After all, one can even use the temperature of the Desert in the Monster World to cook eggs.

Roger took out his clothes, revealing his refined muscles. "Because the Desert is an excellent terrain for fighting and training."

"That's reasonable," Fein nodded in approval. "Let's start?"

Just like that, the two of them made a fighting stance and faced each other.

*Ding!*

[Berserk's Grieve is Activitated]

Fein heard the beeping sound of the system. Berserk's Grieve is the first ability he got that boosts his body stats to ten percent every one minute of the battle, and it doesn't have a cap.

Fein used his assassination footwork 'Flashing Dash' and instantly appeared beside Roger with a smile on his face. He used his level sixteen boxing skills to execute a one-two combination.

'So fast!' Roger squinted his eyes and raised his hands to block Fein's combo.

Roger felt like a hammer hits him with every punch he received. He looked at Fein, that relentlessly threw punches left and right.

'No, I can't let this go on, or it would be too embarrassing,' Roger thought inwardly. He could feel that in terms of strength, they were the same. But he could see that Fein was faster than him.

Roger blocked the punches. Although he felt his arms numb, he didn't shy away as he tried to look for an opportunity.

But he couldn't find one, as Fein threw his punches with a perfect rhythm. Roger doesn't have a choice but to distance himself.

He took two steps back to break away from Fein's barrage of punches.

'Do you think you can get away?' Fein mocked inwardly.

Although they have the same strength, Fein has far superior speed and endurance. Just as Roger thought that he pulled quite a distance., Fein appeared in his back like an after-image.

"Hehe," Fein stared at Roger's wide-open back and threw a hook.

Roger smiled. "I knew you would appear there." Suddenly, his whole body became covered with a black metallic surface. He turned around and ducked his head, as he countered with an uppercut, intending to hit Fein's chin and knock him out.

'What a cheater!' Fein, who has level sixteen boxing skills, just looked at this with a playful smile. 'Is that the Dark Steel Physique? It looks like a Haki'

Fein dodged the uppercut with the virtue of his agile body and superior fighting skills.

"Shit, you're quick on your feet," Roger said helplessly.

​ His uppercut just landed on empty air. But he didn't give up. Instead, he took the initiative and channeled his degu energy in both of his hands. Then he launched himself at Fein, intending to pummel him in a fistfight.

'This is what I want,' Fein smiled. 'Probe!'
