I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything
952 Unexpected Recruitment
Fein's eyes narrowed as another realization dawned on him. "And it's not just my growth that's been affected," he continued, his voice laced with concern. "The level up function in my system has vanished. I can no longer gain experience points, even if I were to defeat powerful SS-rank creatures."
Michael's brows furrowed, his jovial expression giving way to a more serious demeanor. "That's certainly unexpected," he mused, his mind working to grasp the implications of Fein's predicament. "It seems the path to further advancement has been blocked for you and is for me. I want to step down as the captain of Ranger's Eye."
As the words hung in the air, Fein's surprise was evident. Michael, the steadfast captain of the renowned Ranger's Eye, had just revealed his intention to step down from his revered position. Fein's eyebrows furrowed as he leaned forward, a mixture of curiosity and concern etched on his face.
"Why now, Michael? Why do you want to step down?" Fein inquired, his voice laced with genuine curiosity. The revelation caught him off guard, stirring a whirlwind of questions within him.
Michael took a moment to compose himself, his eyes meeting Fein's with a blend of determination and wisdom. "There are a few reasons," he began, his tone steady. "Firstly, I'm not getting any younger. The years have caught up with me, and I can feel the weight of my age on my shoulders. It's time for me to pass the torch to the next generation. I can't be Captain Gregory, I don't want to die for the Ranger's Eye..."
Fein nodded, understanding the toll that time could take on even the strongest of individuals. He had witnessed Michael's dedication and sacrifice throughout their years together, and the realization that age could be a limiting factor resonated within him.
Michael continued, his gaze fixed on a distant point beyond their table. "Secondly, I'm satisfied with the heights we've reached under my leadership. The Ranger's Eye has flourished, and I'm proud of what we've accomplished. It's time to let others step up and bring new perspectives and ideas to the forefront."
Fein's eyes widened slightly, he felt admiration and respect welling up within him. He had been a witness to Michael's dedication to the Ranger's Eye, seeing firsthand the impact he had made on their organization and the lives of its members. The thought of Michael's satisfaction with their achievements filled him with a sense of relief for his friend.
Lastly, Michael's voice softened as he spoke his third reason. "And perhaps most importantly, I have complete trust in Fey, your sister, to take my place. She's proven herself time and time again, displaying remarkable leadership skills and unwavering loyalty. I have no doubt that she will continue to guide the Ranger's Eye with the same dedication and passion."
Fein's gaze shifted, his thoughts drifting to his sister Fey. A surge of pride swelled within him, mingled with a twinge of worry. He knew the weight that would now rest upon Fey's shoulders, but he also recognized her capabilities and the unyielding determination that burned within her.
Silence settled between them, the weight of Michael's decision permeating the air. The bustling restaurant seemed to fade into the background, their conversation holding their undivided attention. Fein's mind raced, processing the significance of Michael's choice and the implications it held for their future.
With a steady breath, Fein looked into Michael's eyes, gratitude shining in his own. "Michael, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for the Ranger's Eye and for me, I'm sure that our captain in heaven would be proud of you..." he spoke sincerely. "Your guidance and unwavering support have been invaluable. I trust your judgment, and I believe Fey will carry on the legacy you've built."
A warm smile spread across Michael's face, a reflection of the bond they had forged over the years. "It's been an honor serving as the captain of the Ranger's Eye. But now it's time for me to step aside and embrace a new chapter," he replied, his voice filled with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation.
"Michael, what are your plans after stepping down as captain?" Fein asked, his voice tinged with genuine curiosity. He leaned in closer, eager to understand the path that lay ahead for his long-time friend and comrade.
"I want to join you Dark Knights Organization." A small smile played at the corners of Michael's lips as he met Fein's gaze. "Well, my plan is to take it easy," he replied with a hint of lightheartedness. "I want to experience what it's like to be a regular member again, without the weight of leadership on my shoulders. It's time for me to step back and just chill."
Fein chuckled, a sense of relief washing over him. He understood the burden that leadership carried and the toll it could take on a person. The notion of Michael seeking respite from his duties resonated deeply within him.
"Did Fey know about your intentions?" Fein queried, his curiosity piqued. Fey, his sister and the vice-captain of the Ranger's Eye, held a close bond with Michael. Fein wondered if she had been aware of his decision to step down.
A flicker of hesitation crossed Michael's face before he shook his head. "No, Fein. I haven't had the chance to discuss it with her yet. I'd appreciate it if you could keep it a secret for now," he replied, his voice tinged with a hint of concern. He knew the weight that such news could carry, and he wanted to handle the matter delicately.
Fein nodded understandingly, a sense of solidarity settling between them. He recognized the importance of keeping Michael's intentions under wraps until the time was right.
"Why do you want to join my organization?" Fein inquired with his eyebrow raised, he leaned back in his chair, giving Michael his undivided attention.
Michael's eyes held a gentle warmth as he spoke, his words tinged with sincerity. "Firstly, Fein, I want to experience what it's like to be a regular member again. As the captain, I was responsible for overseeing every affair of the Ranger's Eye. It became exhausting, and I long for the simplicity of being just another member, free to focus on my own growth and development."
Fein nodded, understanding the weariness that could come from shouldering the weight of responsibility. He had witnessed firsthand the immense dedication Michael had poured into his role as captain, and the desire for a change of pace made perfect sense.
"Secondly, I want to help you, Fein," Michael continued, his voice filled with conviction. "You've shouldered the burden of leading the Eyes of the Dark Knight while leading our world, and I believe it's time for me to lend my support."
Fein's heart swelled with gratitude, the depth of Michael's loyalty and friendship resonating within him. He had always admired Michael's reliable character and the bond they had forged over the years. The thought of having him by his side in the Eyes of the Dark Knight brought a sense of excitement and made him look forward to it.
