I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

"Well, we just have to say that I've let myself get a prosthetic. After all, she was trying to convince me how many times from the past few days." Fein sighed.

Although he didn't want to lie to his mother, he knew that he had to do it for her safety. It's not safe for her to get involved with matters regarding the mysterious side.

"She would be surely happy." Fey smiled.

Just like that, the two of them called out to her mother, who was apparently washing their clothes on the Balcony. Fein explained to her mother that he commissioned Monica for the prosthetic and that she is not his girlfriend. And as his sister guessed. Melissa became happy when she saw the 'prosthetic' on his son's arm.

After helping his mom with the chores in the house, Fein returned to his room.

Now all the matters in the house and the safety of his family have been finally settled.

'Let's see what those friends of mine are doing.' A grin appeared on his face.

...

Fein looked at the building. He felt nostalgic with the memories he has here. This is where it all started. It's the place where a genius like him rise, and where he got his overpowered system.

'It didn't change at all during this year, it still looks like a syndicates place.' He felt funny that such a rich official organization would have a base like this.

If he didn't know that the purpose is for concealment, he had already thought that it was a place where drug users gathered.

Fein walked to the door and went straight to Captain Gregory's office. At the reception, he didn't see the blacksmith that usually stayed there.

Just like that, he reached the door that lead to Captain's office. Fein took a deep breath. With his strong perception, he could feel two familiar presences in the room. He could even hear them talking.

"It seems that the demons didn't really plan to attack after the first wave."

"I really just want to enjoy my vacation. I've had enough with cults and demons."

An unconscious smile appeared on his face when he heard Michael complain. Without wasting time, he opened the door and went in.

Michael and Gregory turned their head at him at the same time. When they saw who he was, the two stopped moving for a moment.

Gregory blinked and straightened his back before smiling. "You're finally back."

Fein nodded at them with a greeting. Michael, on the other hand, went beside him.

"Since when did you come back?"

Fein and Michael bumped their fist with each other and smiled.

"I just arrived last week. I didn't notify you since I'm busy accompanying my family." Fein shrugged.

"Tsk tsk, we already knew that your adventure in the secret realm ended long ago. You are now famous in the circle. I just thought that you stayed at Viscount's mansion to keep a low profile." Michael looked at Fein, who had changed significantly.

'He looks steadier now than before,' Michael thought.

Gregory also looks at Fein and sighed. "You had already surpassed us now in strength, and you even have a Legendary Beast with you. And it seems it won't be long before the higher-ups would offer you a prominent position."

"Speaking of which, where is your beast companion?" Michael asked when he heard his captain...

"It's in my house. I can't just leave my family unguarded anymore." Fein sat down on one of the desks. "What position are you talking about, captain?" He stared at Gregory and asked.

"I'm not sure, but it should be at least higher than mine. And you can build your own team at that time." A wisp of smoke came out of Gregory's mouth as he took a sip of his cigar.

"That would be a good thing for you." Michael patted his shoulders and continued. "You know, you are the fastest member that had been promoted in the organization if that happens."

Fein smiled warily. "That's just more responsibility."

"And more power," Gregory added.

The three looked at each other for two seconds before they laughed in unison.

"But it's good that you're back. Michael always talks about you."Gregory said with the corner of his mouth raised...

Fein just smiled.

Michael shrugged. "How could I not? Two of our members are on their own."

"Two?" Fein raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah, Kidd was missing." Gregory rubbed his temples and frowned. "He went missing after you went to the Secret Realm. And even now we can't find any clue regarding his whereabouts."

Fein couldn't help but clenched his fist, worried about his friend.

"Didn't he just ask for leave to recover his hand?"

"Yes, and after that, he vanished. It's been a year already." Michael gritted his teeth, his breaths slowly turned heavy. He felt his heart tighten.

Michael and Kidd had been friends for a long time, that's he was the most worried among them.

Fein fell silent, and at that moment, his throat dried up. No matter what word came up in his mind, his lips couldn't bring it to say it.

Seeing them become silent, Gregory turned around.

'If something happened to him... I won't forgive myself.' he clenched his fist and his jaw locked.

As the Captain of the team, it was his responsibility to watch out for their well-being. Kidd always treated him with respect because he can feel it.

"Then our next mission would be to find him." The side of Fein's eyes became blurry, and his lips quivered with heavier breaths.

Michael looked into his eyes. He clenched his fists and nodded.

"We are all like family here." Gregory turned his head to face them.

"When do we start?" Michael smiled as he tried to lift the mood.

"A month from now?" Fein took a deep breath as he tried to stabilize his emotions.

He had to train for a month, when he ascended to S-rank, no matter what or where he would find Kidd at that time.

"This is the third... No, the fourth time that he had vanished. He always returned just fine at those times. But this time it seems something happened to him. If he still didn't return this month we would find him." Gregory said.
