I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 212 Fey Vs Michael!

'Where did he go!?' Fey just phased out from the ground and she had already intended to attack, but she didn't expect the other party to disappear.

"Where are you looking at?"

Fey heard a familiar voice beside him as a shadowy figure suddenly appeared in her shadows.

HISS!

Michael smirked and exerted the strength in his feet to kick Fey in the stomach. Fey instinctively entered her phasing state in her entire body.

"You have to be faster than that to successfully hit my sister," Fein muttered on the sideline and shook his head.

Gregory nodded when he heard Fein and said, "Your sister's ability is really irksome to face."

The feet instantly sank to the ground without resistance, as if she fell on the cliff. Michael's kick arrived, which created a depression in the ground.

"Damn it." Michael cursed. He spread his consciousness and warily look at the ground where Fey might suddenly pop out.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him, but Michael had already expected this, so before the fist of the figure could touch his face, he manage to fend it off with his right hand. "Gotcha." A smirk appeared on his face and gripped the arms in his other available hand.

'Shadow Bind.'

Fey felt her shadow move abnormally. When she turned her head to the ground, she saw her shadow transform into chains that bound her in place.

Michael appeared in front of her and grinned. "How about it? Can you escape with that?"

"Of course, I can?" Fey became blurred and the chains that bound her suddenly loosened and fell to the ground. She looked at Michael with a strange expression and asked, "Why did you think that I can't?"

Michael looked at this with amazement. "It seems your ability not only allows you to phase through physical matter but also things made of energy. Fuck! that means you don't have a weakness at all! Because you're literally untouchable to everything if you want." he couldn't help but swallow and he looked at Fey with horror.

"I don't know about that." Fey shook her head as she remembers how her brother's 'Flame Advent' affected her even when she was in her phasing state.

"Is that true?" Gregory turned his head at Fein beside him.

"It's just that Fey's ability made her immune to physical attack and energy attacks. But I don't know if she's immune to soul attacks and mind attacks. Plus, there's always an ability out there that could restrain another. My sister still has to be wary of causal abilities." Fein answered.

Gregory nodded. Then the two of them began to focus on Fey and Michael's battle again.

Michael stood there without moving. 'I need to be caught her off guard before she could enter that state.'

He doesn't really know how to counter Fey's ability. After all, he can't use his 'Shadow Slash' right? He would only use that ability for instant killing and he's only testing Fey's qualification, which he thinks she already passed with flying colors. Because even an A rank like him finds it troublesome to counter Fey's phasing ability.

"This battle really speaks that degu amount isn't only the deciding factor in battle," Michael muttered quietly and sighed.

Although he can kill Fey with a shadow slash in reality if he caught her off-guard, but if Fey doesn't want to come out of her phasing state, even an A-rank like him could only stand there stupidly.

"Well, you had already passed the examination. But I still want to try." Michael stared at Fey with a smile.

Hearing this, a smile finally bloomed on Fey's neutral face. She clenched her fist with excitement. She's finally one of them!

"Congratulations." Gregory patted Fein on his shoulder with a smile.

"Umm, I knew that it would be a piece of cake for her." Fein felt happy inside for his sister.

...

"Be careful." Michael suddenly appeared beside Fey with his A-rank ability. But just like what he expected, his fist only passed through Fey's body like she was just a projection.

Fey immediately deactivated her ability to counter-attack. Seeing this, Michael's eyes lit up as he knew that he can take this an opportunity. So, he didn't dodge the fist but let it hit him. This made Fey confused because she can't understand why Michael wasn't moving.

'Shadow Physique!'

p Before the fist could touch him, Michael activated his ability and morphed into a shadow. Fey looked gobsmacked as her fist passed through Michael's ink-like body.

"If can't touch you, then you can't touch me too." Michael chuckled.

The slight annoyance in his heart from the frustrating battle faded. Now, the two of them won't be able to hit each other, which made it a less shameful for him as a senior.

"It seems Fey's ability managed to frustrate Michael, who was usually calm," Gregory commented on the sideline.

"Anyone would feel annoyed when they can't hit the opponent," Fein added.

Fey became speechless at this. 'I can just use my causal ability, see if I can't hit you.' she knew that with her 'Phasing Punch,' and 'Phasing Arrow' hitting Michael in his 'Shadow Physique' isn't a problem.

But she doesn't want to embarrass Michael, so she just decided to shut up. The important thing is she passed the examination justly.

"I can't you, you can't hit me. Should we stop?" Fey turned her head at Michael with doubt.

"Honestly, I can just let you hit me and use my armor's 'Cloud Counter' to reflect the damage and took that opportunity to land a hit. But I don't want to use an external means in this sparring." Michael said. "And yeah, let's stop here. You had already exceeded our expectations with your performance."

"What Cloud Counter?" Fey muttered.

Fein and Gregory came beside them when they saw that the battle finally ended. Fein heard his sister's whisper just as he appeared.

"His armor has an ability called Cloud Counter that could reflect the damage that they received back to the enemy by a hundred percent. So if your punch managed to hit him, the damage of your punch would go to you instead." Fein answered. "And he's right, he could use that opportunity to follow an attack."
