'Even if I said there are people with more than 4 talents. I have never heard of anyone, even in the game with 6 talents. Furthermore, 5 of them are S-grade.' Luis rubbed his eyes, again and again, to confirm whether he was seeing wrong.
But no matter how many times he did that, the result was the same, and [Hidden : Space]
'Dual attribute? Is that even possible? I know that attributes can mutate, but having two attributes is unprecedented. Moreover, one is Lightning, which is already considered a rarity, and the other is Space, which can be considered a legend.'
A laugh escaped his mouth. 'It seems I can push through with the plan to become the strongest.'
He paused for a moment and thought.
'Is it because of this Space attribute talent that I somehow managed to return to the apartment from the river?' While this question was on his mind, his eyes stopped at a certain information and another question came to his mind.
'Hm? I have an S-Grade Martial arts talent. Then shouldn't it have been easy for Luis to learn Martial art forms that his parents taught in his childhood? Why was his learning talent average for martial arts?'
Luis was thinking then, as if realization struck him and an answer came to his mind.
'Is it because my soul merged with Luis' body?'
This was the only conclusion he came to. This also explains why he has 6 talents and two attributes. Maybe the original Luis had a Lightning affinity and three talents. While Ethan had Space Affinity and three talents.
In Ethan's previous world, magic was only fictional, so that may be the reason why he couldn't access his Space attribute and even if he had talents for Illusionist and Sorceror, he couldn't learn them. As for Martial arts, he never tried it.
'So if my guess is true, I could have become a martial artist in my previous life. Maybe even the best in the world. Well, it doesn't matter anymore.'
'Sharpshooter explains why I'm good with guns. Technician, I need to figure it out slowly. Performer, hmm, so that talent was in effect while I was eating. Illusionist and Sorcerer both of them will be important to me in the future. As I have Martial arts talent, I won't be weak in close combat. I don't have any special Physique nor my Bloodline is awakened. My Mana core is rank E-, awesome. As for my overall rank, is Rookie one star, which is normal as I am newly awakened.' While Luis was still thinking inwardly and imagining the things he would do in the future with a gleam on his face.
Luis' parents were petrified in shock at the information revealed in front of them.
Ronald looked at his son as if he was looking at some unknown entity. While Lumine was overjoyed. Though she was surprised, she was happy for her son. 'That means his words weren't all talk. My son can really become the strongest.'
Lumine closed her mouth, and a small tear escaped her eyes. She felt proud of her son.
"Luis," Ronald called in a small whisper, but audible enough for them to hear.
"Hm?" Luis turns to his father, snapping out of his thoughts.
"Is-Is that correct?" Ronald's voice cracked as he pointed his finger where the information was shown.
Only now did Luis remember how much commotion this information could cause. He smiled wryly while letting out a sigh, thinking, 'So troublesome.'
"Yeah, I guess."
Hearing his flat tone, Ronald's lips twitched. But then he shook his head and smiled happily.
"Hahaha, as expected of my son, you have fully inherited my genes. You are born to do great things."
Lumine was a little annoyed with Ronald's narcissism. But she was too happy to rebuke him.
She moved forward and hugged Luis happily. She continued praising him and telling him how proud she was. With all the praises, Luis was a little embarrassed, but with his Performer talent, he hid it perfectly under a confident and cool expression.
Coming out of the mana training room, Ronald said. "But really, I am so proud of you. My son." Then his expression turned serious as he said.
"Also, Luis, I think you should hide one of your attributes."
Ronald had updated Luis's information with his Mana bracelet after it scanned Luis' DNA. So now all its functions are available to Luis. Ronald wasn't worried about his data being leaked because Mana Bracelet can't be hacked. It can only be accessed by the person's DNA, so without the individual's permission, no one can access his data.
Though still, people can make their speculations about his talents and attribute by just witnessing it.
Luis nodded his head and said, "That's what I plan to do, Dad." He also understands where his father is coming from. Although their family has a lot of power in this country. They also have many enemies and people with ill intentions toward them. So revealing Luis as a dual attribute user or a person with 6 talents will only arouse jealousy and may create unnecessary problems. Though Luis was confident, they would be jealous regardless. But the troubles will be less.
He knew Ronald was probably investigating his enemies on suspicion of Luis' assassination attempt. But Luis knew his search would be meaningless because that organization is under 'that' person and they are hidden very deep. Though Luis has an idea of how to find clues about them from the game. But for now, he will let his father handle it to some extent and involve himself later.
'It's better if he thoroughly investigates our enemies because of this incident. That will be useful in the future.'
Thinking of this with his parents, he returned to the Mansion. A butler was standing near the entrance. But Luis didn't find him familiar. "It's not someone who works for us." He murmured.
Lumine seemed to have heard him as she generously answered his doubt.
"Of course, he is a butler from your fiancee's family."
