I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

'Hmmm... Yeah. Indeed...' Fein came to a realization. He forgot that Voli forced himself awake just to guard Melissa and Fey. Thinking of this, he felt a bit bad. 'Fortunately, the captain stopped me.'

"He is the Legendary Beast, right?" Gregory examined Voli up and down. "He indeed looks harmless, But I can feel the danger he possessed up close."

"Yes, and Voli wasn't only a Legendary Beast, he's also a mutated one at that with a domain that controls two elements," Fein said with a hint of pride in his voice.

"What elements are those?" Anthony leaned on the wall. He lifted his glass, which gave a glint on its reflection.

'Wow... Did I just witness the iconic glass pose?' Fein watched a lot of cultured stuff and knew that characters that do that were mostly smart ass. 'No matter how you pretend, you won't escape my cultured eyes!'

"It's lightning and wind element. Do you want to spar with him?" Fein smirked.

Gregory and Anthony took a deep breath, then they looked at each other for a while.

"What do you think?" Anthony smiled at Gregory.

Gregory paused, hesitation appeared on his face like he was struggling to decide, but after a few moments, he gritted his teeth and said. "Yes, let's do it. I also want to see what Elemental Domain looks like, not to mention the dual type."

"Okay, when do we do it?" Anthony scratched his head. "I will only act as a support. After all, I'm only E-rank."

"That's okay, but you're the one who will come up with our strategy," Gregory responded.

"How strong is your tamed beast again?" Anthony turned his head at Fein and asked abruptly.

"A-rank." Fein grinned and answered timely as if he was just waiting for this moment to say this.

"..."

Silence prevailed in the place. One could even hear a pin drop of water next door.

"Dude, seriously?" Anthony broke the silence and scratched his chin awkwardly. "What a drag, this is a pain in the ass." he sighed and walked to the door. "Forget it, I'm out. I don't want to take a beating for nothing."

BANG! Anthony left, and the door closed with a loud sound. Gregory just stood in his place and said. "The disparity of strength is difficult to overcome. If he's a B-rank, we could still manage it. But in the face of Absolute Strength, all tricks and strategies are useless. So, I'm also fucking out! My old bones can't afford it."

"What a good strategical retreat..." Fein stared speechlessly at the door where Anthony left.

"You can't do anything about it. That guy is too lazy, and he doesn't want anything troublesome."

"Well, you guys made a wise decision. Because, even if Voli is sleeping, you might not even have a chance to leave a scratch for him. His defense had already reached S-rank." Fein chuckled.

Gregory's jaw dropped. He looked at Fein incredulously. "Damn it! Where did you pick him up!? You already know we can't do a thing about his defense. Are you that eager to see us embarrass ourselves??"

"Yes. This is one of the joys in my life." A wide grin appeared on his face.

"Y-you..." Gregory gulped when he saw the evil smile on his face. 'Fuck! he almost looks like a villain!'

"Just kidding..." Fein's expression returned to his usual smile. 'Someone give me an Oscar!'

Gregory suddenly felt a headache just talking with the man in front of him. "What a shameless bastard. Seriously, you almost gave me a heart attack." Gregory raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said. "I fucking swear! I thought you've just changed into a completely different person just now!"

'Of course, I have an S-rank acting talent! Even the S-lister celebrities would have to give way when I'm here. I, Fein Bonifacio, would become the god of acting!' Fein scratched his head. 'Damn, that sounds kinda sus. Am I slowly becoming an edge lord? Fuck this! I need to get rid of this shitty habit!'

"Don't worry, when I first fought with Voli, I also got embarrassed. I won in the end, but I wasn't unscathed and I passed out with severe injuries." Fein shrugged.

Thinking of the first time he met Voli, a smile appeared on his face. 'Luckily, our carriage happened to pass in that area. Or else we wouldn't have met.'

"How did you even defeat a legendary monster with dual-type elemental domain!?" Gregory swallowed. Then he looked at Fein and said with wonder. "The last time we fought, it was a tie. Now, I don't know how much you've improved."

"Are you suggesting a sparring?" Fein covered his mouth using his hands.

"How about it?" Gregory smiled.

"I'm A-rank."

"I know, so... How about suppressing you're realm into my level and fighting with our main weapons instead?" Gregory smirked.

'Hmmm, if suppressed my degu amount to C-rank and use my level 18 swordsmanship. I could still one hit a B-rank with that!' Fein thinks that his captain was basically courting death.

After all, even with C-rank degu amount and C-rank attributes, he could still split a mountain apart. All his combat power literally comes from his swordsmanship. So, even if someone deprived him of his degu energy, he just needs a powerful body and his swordsmanship, and it won't make him powerless at all. At least, he was confident that he could still beat B-rank degu users!

"Well, you can use your ability," Fein suggested.

Gregory stared at Fein deeply, but Fein didn't show anything on his face. "Are you sure about that? That's a little unfair to you, ain't it?"

'Let's see if you can still say those exact same words later.' Fein walked to the door. "See you at the Underground Base."

"Fine, it seems I need to humble this kid a little." Gregory walked to the table and started to sort out the papers and documents on his table.

Seeing the mountain of paper works, Gregory felt distressed. "Shitty work with a never-ending paper that I needed to sign!"

In a minute, Gregory finally organized all the papers, walked out of the door with a smile, then looked at the sleeping Voli one last time, and muttered under his breath. "It's time to beat up someone..."
