I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

"This is horrible... A beast killed hundreds of people? How come the investigators in the City didn\'t respond early? Hmm... Suspicious." Fey\'s eyebrows furrowed, and she bit her lips unconsciously. She felt pity for the people that died.

\'Is the beast a C or B rank to kill the people that fast that the investigators were too late? The innocents didn\'t have to die if the investigators just patrolled the area.\'

Fey clenched her fist as she felt upset at the loss of lives of hundreds of people. She knew that there were children that also died in the incident.

Fein noticed his sister\'s behavior and whispered to her. "This news is just a cover by the government of the country. This is our mission last night."

Fey was startled by his brother\'s words. She suddenly remembered Fein\'s exhausted face when he came back last night. Now she finally knew why. "Then what really happened? What beast did you fight?"

"Shhh... Lower your voice, or mother might hear us. It\'s a long story, but I will summarize it for you if you\'re really that curious." Fein said. "But I will tell it you later. Our mom is here, you know?"

"What are you two talking about?" Melissa took the newspaper from Fein\'s hand and glanced at it. Her eyes widened, and she unconsciously covered her mouth with her right hand. "This is tragic... MIU City? isn\'t that only three cities away from here?" Melissa took a deep breath. Then turned her eyes to her son and daughter and muttered. "What kind of beast killed hundreds of people? What do the two of you think? That\'s why you should avoid going anywhere. It\'s so dangerous nowadays."

"Well, I think it\'s from some zoo or forest?" Fein responded innocently. "It\'s really terrible. I think the beast came out from their habitat at night and it\'s probably not one beast, but a group! After all, even if it\'s a bear or a lion, how is it possible to kill hundreds of people? It\'s not as if everyone can\'t pick up a weapon. Even a pack of wolves won\'t be enough to massacre people in the city."

Hearing her son\'s reasoning, Melissa suddenly nodded her head unconsciously. \'That must be it.\'

Fey rolled her eyes at her brother\'s made-up story. It was so believable that anyone would take it as the truth.

"What are the beasts so hungry now that they would attack a city? The police aren\'t doing their job properly." Melissa put the newspaper on the table. "I felt sorry for the people who died. I hope that the government would do something about this. What if those beasts attack another city?"

\'He can\'t do that anymore... As the monster responsible for it was already sleeping soundly,\' Fein thought cheekily.

Fey glared at her brother. \'Stupid brother!\'

"Mom, don\'t worry. The government was probably facing the pressure of public opinion currently. And the police should be the one bearing the brunt of the dissatisfaction." Fey paused for a little. "It\'s inevitable that they would increase the security in the neighboring cities for a while."

"Wow, my sister could actually think critically?" Fein said with a sarcastic tone in his voice. "But you\'re right. They might even put a curfew at night... Well, enough of this. Let\'s go to the market. I still have a lot of things to do. And remember mom\'s request?"

Fey\'s eyes widened. But after a second, a cheeky smile appeared on her face. "That thing?"

"What are you two talking about?" Melissa couldn\'t help but ask as she saw the cheeky smile on her son\'s and daughter\'s faces.

"It\'s a secret." Fein smiled mysteriously. "Let\'s go, Fey!"

Just like that, Fein went to the market with his sister. He also told her about the details of the mission he did with the Ranger\'s team. Mostly about the number of deaths, details about his fights with the monster, and the true identity of the monster.

His sister was utterly shocked when she saw that the monster was Brick Norty. After all, Fey had already encountered Brick once when Brick first came to their home to find him.

Then he also told his sister how Brick Norty became a monster, and how it was his fault.

"It\'s not your fault. You already warned him to not inject himself and wait for you. Yet he didn\'t heed your warning. It\'s due to the arrogance that turned him into that. He probably thought that he could do it with his intelligence and that nothing would go wrong." Fey stared at her brother directly in the eyes with seriousness. She doesn\'t want her brother to carry such a pang of guilt into a thing that already happened. And as she analyzed her brother\'s story, she noticed that it wasn\'t really entirely his fault. "And as you said, you already had a way to save him, right? Then all\'s well."

"Well, I didn\'t expect that you would speak up to me like this someday." Fein chuckled. "But thanks for that. I appreciate it." He said with sincerity. He really needed a word of encouragement from someone.

Fein felt really guilty even after he tried not to think about it and rationalize it. But just like others. He\'s just a human, but with powerful strength. His interface might not agree with him being a human, but deep inside, he\'s still a human, as his soul was...

"I\'m your sister after all... That\'s why you look tired last night! I\'m not used to seeing you act depressed." Fey sighed.

"Huh? Do I really look one? I thought I acted normally perfectly." Fein looked at his sister.

Seeing this, Fey smiled smugly. "Don\'t underestimate females\' instinct."

"That again?" Fein sighed. Then he looked in front of them.

Various stalls that had vegetables, milk, and different food products appeared in his sight. There are also trays of eggs, fish, and raw meats.

"Who\'s responsible for making a bargain this time?" Fein turned to his sister.

"Well, I guess it\'s me this time. Don\'t worry, I\'ll make sure that would save a lot of money."

"Be quick then. I\'ll still have to get Sofia and visit my laboratory and see its current state."
