I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

-Fain\'s POV-

I am currently on the carriage with Michael and Captain Gregory. We are assigned to hunt a group of demons not far from the outskirts of the city.

I knew that there will gonna be intense fighting because even Captain was forced to come. Captain mentioned that there are at least fifteen Rank C and Twenty Rank D on the group of demons that were invading.

"Fain, you will belong to the group that will fight those Rank D demons considering you had the lowest rank in this team," Captain Gregory says.

I nodded at him as a response...

Considering that I was hiding my strength, no one knew that I am already Rank B now including Kidd. After all, I didn\'t have an ability like them and I only rely on techniques and my strong physique which was the only thing I revealed so far.

The ability I have now is not suitable for combat. My abilities so far only focus on utility and they are Storage Space, Stats Improvement, Probe, Map, Skill Lottery... The thing is I can get 1 skill every month using the skill lottery function, which was not that bad. Because in my first draw I luckily got an A rank passive kill.

-Berserk\'s Grieve-

Rank: A

Type: Passive

Description: The longer the battle the stronger am I! Every one minute in combat, the user\'s strength, agility, and endurance will increase by 10% with no cap.

This skill is OP... My eyeball almost pops out of their sockets when I read the ridiculous effect of the skill. Though, I need to buy time and drag the fight. The good thing is the stronger am I the stronger the boost it gave. The most outrageous of all is that it has no caps or upper limit. Considering that one hour has sixty minutes, it means that in every one hour of fight I will have a 600% boost in my all stats. And that\'s a 6x boost in strength, speed, and my body\'s toughness that will only continue to increase as the fight drags out.

Now that I had this skill, I finally had a decent edge against an opponent of the same level... The only thing that I lack now is that I don\'t have strong long-range skills. If I encounter a skilled enemy in long-range I will be kited to death. That\'s why I am looking forward to the skill that I will get next month.

"Don\'t worry he can already handle them alone... In our last mission, he did a good job." Michael says with a casual smile on his face.

Captain Gregory looked at me meaningfully. After all, being complimented by Michael is not a small thing. It means that I was already a qualified spy...

"Well, I also trust his skills after all he was very talented that he even manage to beat me in a fight of pure skills in the weapon I specialize in." Captain Gregory says with helplessness contained in his voice.

It was Michael\'s turn to look at me with surprise. "Well, that means that if he became Rank C he will already become a formidable warrior considering that he has already mastered all weapons in our basement."

"Don\'t feed my ego please!" I said with a wary smile.

Michael laughed at my comment and says. "Hey, we are just saying are assessment in accordance with our observation... After all, your talent in weapons is so unbelievable even though we know that it has something to do with your ability. You had mastered all the weapons in just three months, if that\'s not ridiculous then I don\'t know what is..."

I was about to respond when...

Ding* Malicious Intent Detected.

the new function of my map suddenly activated itself. A map that shows the forest, one blue dot, three green dots, and one red dot were shown. My guess was... the blue dot is me, while the green dots are my team and the who was driving the carriage and the red dot must the enemy.

"Guys, I think someone was following us," I told them solemnly.

"What how many of them? Why didn\'t I even notice them?" Gregory said with unprecedented seriousness.

"There\'s only one but he should be strong because I only manage to know his presence because of my special ability." I pulled my sword out of the scabbard and jump out of the carriage.

The two also prepared their weapons and followed Fain.

...

After jumping on the carriage, I looked at the surroundings and shouted. "Come out, stop hiding whoever you are I know that you were following us for some quite time now!"

After waiting for a few minutes, I thought that the enemy will not show himself but in a certain tree, a man walks out with unhurried footsteps. My eyes widened in fear because the one in front of me was familiar. His body is muscular and fit, He has an X shape scar on his well-defined face and a clean-shaven beard. He just looks at me coldly and raised his hand slowly.

Suddenly a felt a strong force preventing my movement.

\'Shit, why this time!\' I am now panicking about the suddenness of the situation.

I thought that he will not be coming but now he was here in front of us...

"Jackson!?" Captain exclaimed loudly in my back.

Michael suddenly appeared beside me in the form of a shadow.

"He is using his telekinesis to confine you... I will attack him when that time comes you run as fast as you can and request reinforcements in the nearby city." Michael told me while looking at the enemy in front of us warily.

"No, if I run the two of you will die! I knew that with Captain we can hold him off." I said with uncertainty.

Captain Gregory walks beside us and looked at me with a determined face. "No Fain, you have to go now... This time the enemy is Rank A, we don\'t know if we can survive this. I want you to escape as far as you can while we were holding him off."

I looked at the enemy who has five daggers floating beside him, I gritted my teeth...

\'If I\'m only strong enough." I thought inwardly blaming myself for my weakness.

Because I was the target, Captain and Michael knows it but they still decided to buy time for me to escape. I can\'t help but be moved by them... You can only determine the true face of a person in a life and death situation. Even though they knew that they will die they still choose to let me escape. Now, I decided to fight with all I got even if this reveals my strength... After all, even if I escape now I won\'t be able to get that far and I knew that Michael and Captain would not be able to buy enough time because the enemy far outclassed them. From the three of us, I was aware that the enemy\'s abilities perfectly restrained us because I know his abilities based on the book I read from the Library of Vladimir\'s Family...
