I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

-Sofia's POV-

"Well, you still have the last pick; make the most of it." "So, what do you want to learn next?"

I gave him a gentle look, knowing that, while he liked to crack a joke now and then, he was quite serious in the way he went about his business. According to the books he requested, he appears to have a grudge against the Puppeteer. He's a dangerous and shrewd character. Mostly because of his ability to affect the mind and his strong control of telekinesis, which allows him to be somewhat versatile.

Although I want to help him, I am only an E Rank at the moment, and my abilities are primarily for support rather than combat.

He finally looked at me with his usual smile after a moment of thought and says. "I'd like to learn how to use the Advanced Degu Application."

Well, that was what I expected, I then used my hands to write something in the book. Letters began to appear on the pages after I began typing with my fingers. This text could only be seen by someone with Vladimir's blood. When the Vladimir Family was at its peak, our S Class Ancestor invented this function. Unfortunately, despite his strength, he was unable to avoid the inevitable doom of aging.

-Five minutes later-

Finally, another book drifted in our direction. The cover is white and has some runes designed on it. I moved it closer to my face and handed it to him.

"All of the currently known Advance Degu Applications are listed there, but be warned that you can only start learning when you step into the B Rank, or else you will lose control of your energy; however, there is still an exception; if you are talented enough, you might be able to do it even in C Rank, but not lower than that," I cautioned him.

After all, he may be brave enough to attempt something like this. Despite the fact that she hasn't known him for a long time, she has some idea of his personality.

Fain smirked and placed his hands on his back like a sage as he looked at me. and says with a smug smirk. "If we're talking about talent, and if I claim to be the second, no one will claim to be the first!"

I just stood there staring at him, speechless...

"How come I can't refute when he's the one saying it?" A strange expression appeared on my face.

I only realized now that every word he said, even when bragging, had a sense of certainty to it. His words had the power to make those who heard them subconsciously believe.

He studied the book intently for an hour just like that.

...

-Fain's Point of View-

We've returned to the Guest Room. His father apparently wanted to meet me and lavishly reward me for saving his daughter.

'If it's from the Marquis himself, what I get should be very valuable.' After all, a prestigious family like theirs cares more about their image than anyone else,' I reached a conclusion as a grin formed on my face.

I had no idea my unintended consequence would be so beneficial to me. Not only did I obtain the information I required, but I also gained the favor of a Marquis and received a reward.

A man with white hair and a beard was standing upright on the stairwell. He was just standing there, but an unconscious pressure was exerting itself on him. It was the aura of a man that was sitting from power for a long time.

'Probe'

Name: Lucius Vladimir

Degu Amount: A

Str: S

Agi: A

End: S

My eyes narrowed slightly as I read the ridiculous stats; he had done an excellent job of concealing his strength. However, it remained within my expectations. Ultimately, as the head of the Vladimir Family, it was unavoidable that all resources would be directed toward him. His body is very strong, which could be due to bathing with medicinal herbs, using a rare treasure that increases strength, or even undergoing some extremely expensive enhancements.

'It's really convenient to be wealthy,' I thought bitterly.

Without my ability, it would take a long time to even reach Rank D...

He simply looked at me and smiled, as if he was aware of my thoughts.

'He might be hinting at me to keep it to myself; he's a real old fox.' It's best to be cautious around him,' I reasoned inwardly.

"So, you're the one who saved my daughter, and I'm really grateful for that," he said, smiling.

I looked him in the eyes without batting an eyelid and responded cautiously. "I only did what I believe to be right."

He nodded and walked over to a large box. He took his time opening it... There was an old bracelet in the shape of a shield inside. He motioned for me to approach him and said. "This is the reward I carefully selected for you; it is called "Bracelet of Mimir." It will make you resistant to mind-related abilities; it was a top-tier work of the best Craftsman in the entire neighboring countries; its material was from the heart of a mind dragon; its preciousness was very obvious, and it can also make you calm subtlety when you wear it."

I looked at the bracelet and took it casually. After all, this will improve my chances of defeating Jonathan Jackson, who possesses a sinister mind-control ability. I was afraid of confronting him because I was afraid of being controlled, and the worst-case scenario was for him to learn my secrets by reading my mind... As a result, this equipment will become extremely valuable to me.

"It was exactly what I needed at the time," I said gratefully.

"Well, that's not the end of it. If that's all we can offer, we'll lose face and be laughed at by other powerful families," he replied with a wary smile.

He fiddles with something in his suit pocket and pulls out an envelope.

He handed it to me and said, "This is an invitation to a Secret Realm, where only the best of the best young geniuses can go to find all kinds of inheritance, treasures, and other types of rare materials.

Our family only got three tickets after some intense bargaining, including the one in your hand, and for the last one, you can state any request you have that is within our capabilities, and we will fulfill it to the best of our abilities."

"Well, I would like to have..."
