"Well, I would like to have my personal laboratory," I stated with certainty.
He looked at me for a second, making sure he hadn't misheard. "Wait, did you say laboratory?"
"Well, the truth is that I have a hobby of conducting research and experiments, and I'd like to have my own laboratory for my convenience," I replied, confirming his doubt.
"That's quite simple... Your laboratory will be ready in a week; I'll contact a professional using my connection, and you can discuss your specific preferences with him." His eyes flickered as he heard my request.

I'm no longer in their secret library. However, this information pales in comparison to the previous one. Even so, it was a hundred times better than those in the cities. For one thing, all of the disciplines are present. Science, Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Astronomy are all available.
Although not that advanced yet, the gap is not surprisingly large; if computers can be built in advance, the world will usher in the Information Age, making a significant leap forward, and globalization will be accelerated.
I decided to read the books here to see if there were any differences between the laws of this world and the ones I had known in the past. Because of the existence of Degu, there is a possibility that the laws of physics in this world will differ from my previous ones.
As a result,... It was unique but in a good way. The reason for this is that the laws here are laxer than my previous ones. Not only is it theoretically possible to build a spaceship with the passage of time, but it is also possible in practice.
I stayed in the mansion for seven days, and The Vladimir Family warmly entertained me; they are even pleased with my decision because it was beneficial to them. I devoured all of the books in the library like a madman, not skipping a single one. Learning was as difficult for me as breathing and drinking because of my enhanced talent. I soaked up all the information I could get my hands on like a sponge.

-General POV-
The sun shone brightly through the window, and the sound of chicken could be heard from time to time. The morning breeze blew in all directions. Fain awoke in his medium-sized bed, stood up, and stretched his body to relieve soreness caused by his uncomfortable sleeping posture.
His nose was filled with the aroma of poached eggs and hot bacon. He dashes into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. After that, he hurriedly changed into his sleepwear and went to his mother's room, where the odor was coming from.
A young girl with shoulder-length hair was waiting for Fain at the door as he walked. Her face had a cheerful smile on it, and her green eyes were looking at him impatiently.
"Brother, breakfast is ready... you're always sleeping like an oil," she grumbled at me.
With a sly grin, I looked at her. "You just miss me, don't you, and I'm sorry our work is so hectic these days."
"Hmmph, you have to accompany me to the park next week," she said quickly, giving me puppy eyes.
"All right, I'll... Stop doing that, it's cringe," I said helplessly.
My sister was perplexed as she looked at me. "Ahm... What's that?"
I hid my face behind my hands.
'Fuck, I forgot I'm not in the Modern Age,' I cursed my folly.
"Never mind, let's eat; Mom is waiting," I said, shrugging.
She followed me, her chubby cheeks pouting.

-Ranger's Eye Base-
I'm now in the office, and the captain is sitting in his usual spot, with a dark circle under his eyes.
"So, how was your vacation? Did you gain anything?" he yawned.
"Well, I did... Now it's just a matter of time, I'm confident I'll be able to compete with Jackson in a few years," I said, making an enthusiastic face.
Because of my talent, I can subconsciously manipulate my body language and expression to express whatever I want. This could be the result of LVL 5 acting talent.
Captain looked at me, perplexed. "What did Marquis Lucius give you to give you such confidence?"
I was about to respond...
A sudden burst of running interrupted our conversation, and the door was quickly opened. Kidd was panting heavily and his face was drenched in sweat inside. "Captain, captain..."
"Calm down, speak slowly, what happened?" Captain inquired solemnly.
Kidd took a deep breath to calm himself down, then looked at me and nodded, then looked at Captain again with a serious face and says. "Captain, a large group of demons with an average strength of D Rank and a leader estimated to be C Rank Invaded the neighboring country."
"The mentioned country has requested assistance from various official organizations, which is why the Headquarters personally issued a mission because we are the closest country; we need to kill them and prevent them from causing further casualties."
"Call Michael, He will lead the team in this mission," the exhausted Captain said as he looked out the window.
"Fain, this will be your mission fighting alongside the team, you have to be careful and don't overestimate yourself," he says as he looks at me.
"Yes, Captain," I said, nodding obediently.
I don't want to draw too much attention to myself by revealing my strength so early. I only intended to reveal myself when necessary or to have the confidence to confidently protect myself.
"Follow me; we'll prepare what we need, and then we'll leave in an hour."

-A few hours later-
After gathering the necessary items, Michael quickly assumed command and devised a strategy for dispatching the demons in the most efficient manner possible.
We boarded a personal carriage that had been specially prepared for such emergencies.
Michael gave me and Kidd a determined look. "We have to take down this demon quickly to prevent the Innocents from being implicated; the lives of countless people now depend on us; we must do our best not to let them down!"
"Yes, Vice Captain!" both of us said solemnly.
"This is a specially prepared poison to quickly kill the demons," he explained as he handed us a bottle containing crimson liquid.
