Chapter 86 - Innate Abilities
As the sun started to dip below the horizon, Arthur and Alicia remained at the shooting range, both in
awe of Alicia's progress. Her face was still glowing with enthusiasm and excitement.
"I can't believe how far I've come," She exclaimed, looking at Arthur with a proud smile.
"You should be proud," Arthur replied, giving her an affectionate smile. "You've done an amazing job."
She then took the gun back, rotating the weapon in her fingers with the familiarity of a long-time
shooter, and fired at the target with extreme accuracy.
Bang!
"Whoa, I actually hit the target," Alicia exclaimed in surprise.
She quickly put the gun back on the plate and, with an agility born from practice, pulled it back out and
fired three quick shots.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Each and every shot struck the target without a single miss.
"Is it really possible that I'm already a pro after just one day of practice?"
Alicia said softly in amazement, shaking her head.
She finally felt satisfied that she had done her best that day and smiled in relief. Turning to Arthur, she
thanked him for taking the time to help her.
“Arthur Oppa, thank you for taking your precious time for me today. I think it's time we went back
home.”
“Ah, sure.” Arthur answered, nodding. "I think today's practice was more than enough, perhaps even
after this you can practice this shooting skill in your own way."
They then began to get ready to go home. As they were about to leave, Arthur began to think about
how much better it would be for him if he had all the complete facilities that he might need to train all
the bodyguards and everyone who would work for him in the future.
“Hm… I was thinking of building a place like this.” he said to Alicia.
"Woah...does that mean I can practice shooting whenever I want?" Alicia was clearly excited by the
prospect.
"I think so," he responded.
The employees who had been in the control room since morning were still captivated by Alicia's
training sessions, unable to take their eyes off her remarkable growth over the course of the day.
"Are they just pretending they can't shoot earlier?" one of them asked.
"No," another replied, "I'm sure that the girl this morning was still very inexperienced with a gun. I was
watching her the whole time and there's a big difference between someone who is a complete beginner
and someone who is already proficient."
"And besides, she's still very young," someone else added. “It takes years to get really good at
something like that. I'm sure she's not an ordinary person?”
"And what about the man who was with her? He's not ordinary either, is he?"
As Arthur and Alicia prepared to depart, the employees in the control room rushed out to greet them.
Standing silently in a row, they gazed in awe at Arthur, each of them too astonished to say anything.
"Oh my god, why am I suddenly unable to say anything?" one of them thought to himself.
Finally, one of them worked up the courage to speak but only managed a meek "Eh.. uh… hee."
Arthur, watching the people, pondered to himself, "Have I gone beyond the hours I've paid for this
venue? I'm sure I haven't surpassed that hour mark yet."
"Am I past the time limit?" Arthur asked aloud. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Ah… no…” one of them replied.
Smiling, Arthur said his farewell, "Okay, then see you..." and proceeded to walk out.
"Bye everyone, thank you for your cooperation." Alicia waved and walked away.
As Arthur and Alicia disappeared from view, the employees regained their voices and began to chatter
among themselves.
The employees finally got an up-close look at Alicia's beauty, and each of them shook their heads in
awe.
"This is the first time I've seen two people who are so perfect in front of me." one of them exclaimed.
“It's true,” another replied. “That man is incredibly wealthy and incredibly kind, plus the girl he's with is
incredibly beautiful. Plus, it looks like she has some Asian heritage, I'm a fan of Asian girls.”
"Hey, can you lower your voice a bit," warned the third. "What if they hear us?"
Arthur strolled towards his vehicle, which was parked in the exclusive VIP parking lot, and Benno was
waiting there with a smile on his face, holding the door open for him.
"Boss, how was your day?" Benno asked cheerfully.
“Ah Benno, have you been here since this morning? Why don't you come in with us?” Arthur
suggested.
“Ah no, boss. I must maintain your privacy and ensure you have a pleasant time hehe….”
With that, Arthur and Alicia climbed into the car.
"Arthur Oppa, tell me, is it possible that I can learn this quickly because I learn from you?"
Alicia asked, her eyes full of hope. She had noticed how she had seemingly mastered the ability of
firearm shooting quickly, and it seemed to her that his influence played a part. For some reason, she
felt there was something special and magical about him.
[You can utilize an Observer to observe Alicia's profile, Host.]
"What is an observer?" Arthur muttered under his breath in response to the system's statement.
[You just stare at her and say, "Observe"]
Glancing at Alicia as instructed by the system, he said, "Observe." Immediately, a system screen
appeared in front of him, this time something completely different from before.
[Name: Alicia Morel]
[Body: 59 (Very Good)
[Mind: 31 (Good)
[Skills - 6]
[Taekwondo Martial Art - 24 (Expert)]
[Firearms Shooting - 11 (Advanced)]
[Charisma - 15 (Advanced)]
[Acting - 9 (Beginner)]
[Video Gaming - 7 (Beginner)]
[Driving - 5 (Beginner)]
He stared at Alicia blankly, his mind spinning as he considered, "If it turns out that other people have
stats like mine, then that's not so strange. The only thing that's different is that they don't have any VIP
points."
He paused, looking at her intently as he finally realized that the system stat he was so familiar with
wasn't exclusive to him.
"Can I see everyone's stats, system?" He asked.
[I'm sorry, Host, this only applies to your partners.]
[It would make it easier for you to increase the special skills of all your partners.]
"Why are you just telling me this now?"
[The system is designed so that information cannot be displayed all at once. It would be better if it was
shown as needed.]
"Why can't I just see all of it at once?"
[We understand your concerns, Host.]
[But it is necessary to avoid information overload. That way, when you need to, you can focus on the
most important information.]
Alicia tilted her head, a confused expression on her face, as Arthur looked at her silently.
"Is there something wrong with my face?" she thought.
“Oppa… why are you looking at me like that? Is there something strange about me?”
"Ah. Haha, sorry," Arthur replied. "I just saw something interesting."
Alicia only smiled in response, still not sure what to make of Arthur's words.
“Do you want to learn to drive, Alicia?”
"Hah…." she nodded, her eyes lighting up. "I want to be able to drive and race like you Oppa, I would
be very happy."
"Have you ever driven before?"
Alicia shook her head, a hint of excitement in her voice as she spoke.
"She's never driven before," Arthur thought, "but she has driving skills."
[Accept that fact, Host; some people are born with natural talent that exists within them, even without
training.]
He nodded and thought it seemed he should take the time to observe Edna and Claudina's talent as
well.
