380 Too much talent
A man stood at a large gate, which has barbed wires on top of it. The wall was made of high-quality bricks. On the wall, a yellow sign warned people of trespassing due to high voltage.
Fein was exactly the man waiting at the gate. After he destroyed the rain sky, he immediately proceeded to Vladimir’s mansion to get her.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at the blue sky, which sometimes made him think of the sea and the white clouds that act as a cover from the heat of the sun.
“It’s much better this way,” Fein smirked.
What he didn’t know was that his action had made a great disturbance in a certain city and that it would become a myth in the future.
“Who are you? This is off the limit! Hmm... Are you sir Fein Bonifacio?”
A sudden voice interrupted his train of thought. When Fein saw turned his head at the source of the voice... He saw a man with average facial features, brown hair, and a large physique. The man wore a standard suit of Vladimir’s mansion’s guard that Fein recognized.
Fein projected a polite smile and answered. “I am indeed Fein. May I know how you recognized me that fast?”
He looked at the guard curiously. Because he really wants to know how the fuck he was recognized that fast. ‘Is it because of my handsome face that was super rare? No. no. no... That’s not the case, right?”
.....
The guard scratched his head, then hesitated for a moment... He only answered after five seconds of silence. “Mhmm... Well... Our lord Vladimir made all the guards memorize your face. Actually, the entire household.”
Seeing the awkward expression on the guard’s face, Fein almost burst out laughing. He finally understood why the guard couldn’t say it directly. After all, the reason was just ridiculous. Though, he could understand Lucius’ intention.
‘He’s really a meticulous guy.’ Fein couldn’t help but sigh.
“Well, he did this so you can easily come to the mansion without too much hassle.” The guard tried to justify.
“Don’t worry... I know that. So, what’s your name again?”
“I’m Recca.”
Fein almost choke as he heard the guard’s name. “Nice to meet you Recca. Do you control nine flame dragons? So where’s Nadare?”
“Huh?” Recca tilted his head in confusion.
“Well, just kidding. Your name was just similar to the friend I know. Let’s go... I want to see if Sofia had improved even a bit.” Fein smirked.
“Okay, I’ll lead the way.” Recca saluted and walk forward as a guide. He knew that Fein was already familiar with the way toward the mansion after his two previous visits, but he has to do his job.
Fein, on the other hand, had his attention on his system’s map. Since he already came two times to this place... He had downloaded the complete map of it already. Now, he could even see the green dots scattered on the map, which represent people.
‘Should I just teleport directly to the mansion? Hmm... Well, that might be rude. I’ll just walk.’ This thought appeared in his mind but also quickly went away.
As they walk, Fein couldn’t help but appreciate the view. The beauty of the surrounding, and the meticulous care that the workers from the mansion gave to the garden.
He turned his head to the side as he continued to follow Recca. They didn’t talk or anything but just continue their pace. In the garden, he saw different colors of roses, there’s white, black, and the famous red. White roses are used for the dead in some countries, while red was used to denote love and romance. Though he didn’t know what the black rose was for. After all, it’s the first time he saw one.
Black roses did exist in his previous world, but they are artificial, made by sprays or other coloring things. Yet in this world, they are natural. There are a lot of differences between this world and the Earth that he still didn’t know about.
“The Vladimir family loves flowers, huh? There are tulips, sunflowers, daffodils, marigolds, daisies, orchids, carnations, gerberas, and jasmines. Such a beautiful collection of flowers.” Fein has a smile on his face.
Recca looked at Fein behind him with surprise. “You know all their names? It seems you’re familiar with a lot of flowers... Do you also like them?”
“Not really, I just read them once in a library,” Fein responded.
‘Huh? Who would even bother to memorize the names of the flower and their appearances? What a lying bastard.’ Recca knew that it would take a lot of time just to even recognize the specific flowers from the garden of the mansion.
Along the way, Fein kept calling the names
of the flowers in the garden from common to rare, and even describe their characteristics, which made Recca speechless. And he became certain that Fein didn’t just read to once in the library, but really loves flowers.
‘I think he’s just embarrassed to admit that he loves them, right?’ Recca nod his head as he understood that it was indeed uncommon for boys to like flowers. But for him, it’s just a prejudice if nothing.
If Fein knew Recca’s thoughts, he would surely punch the guy in the face. After all, he just really glanced at one book from page to page and memorize them within seconds. His memory talent wasn’t for nothing.
With his S-rank talent, he could even recall how many breaths he took from his infancy until his adult life. He could recall how many times he took a bath from when he was born to now. That’s just how cheating his memory is... Though, he chose to let the system reduce its effect since he would go crazy if he kept it that way.
Having a good memory comes with negative effects. For example, he comes to hate sounds. Because every key of sound from the bashing of the door, to the splash of water, to the creak of the floor, and the sounds of utensils kept echoing in his head, and he could even determine what notes they were. So he doesn’t have a choice but to make the system downgrade his memory from S to B.
Well... He can ask the system to return it back to S rank any time he wants, anyway.
B rank memory talent is the most comfortable level he was. At this level, he’s similar to those who have a photographic and eidetic memory.
He doesn’t really need too much of a powerful memory in his current circumstances.
‘Damn it... I have too much talent!’
“We’re here.”
