SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Upgrading The Spectre X Nano Bracelet [2.]

Kael leaned back slightly, his fingers tapping lightly against the armrest as he considered the question.

Additional modifications...

Nothing immediately came to mind.

The Spectre Nano Bracelet was already one of the finest pieces of equipment money could buy. There wasn’t much he wanted to change.

After nearly half a minute of thought, he finally shook his head.

"Nothing that I can think of."

He paused before continuing.

"But if your engineers have developed any new functions that would improve its overall performance, feel free to add them."

The man gave a small nod.

"We’ll have our engineers recommend the latest improvements available for your selected grade."

"Good."

Kael suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, right."

"There is one thing."

The man looked up.

"I’d like to modify its appearance."

"The armor is completely black, which I like, but it feels a little too gloomy."

"I want another color incorporated into the design. Something as an outline to make it look less dull."

The man’s eyes lit up slightly.

"A cosmetic modification."

"An excellent choice."

He smiled politely before asking,

"Do you have a particular color in mind?"

Kael fell silent.

Color...

That was never something he had paid much attention to.

The reason he had originally chosen black was simple.

It looked clean.

It looked practical.

And above all, it looked cool.

Beyond that, he had absolutely no sense for matching colors.

Seeing the hesitation on Kael’s face, the man chuckled softly.

"If I may make a suggestion..."

"How about blue?"

"A dark sapphire blue outlining the armor’s edges would complement the black rather well."

"It would preserve the armor’s intimidating appearance while making it considerably more refined."

Kael imagined it for a brief second before nodding.

"That sounds good."

"We’ll go with that."

"Very well."

The man stood up.

"I’ll discuss everything with our engineering department and calculate the final pricing."

"I won’t be long."

Kael nodded.

"I’ll wait."

The man excused himself before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.

Silence immediately settled over the luxurious office.

...

At almost the same time...

Back at the Hunter Association Branch.

Inside the director’s office.

A woman lounged carelessly in Director Ferris Newman’s chair as though it belonged to her.

One long leg rested atop the director’s desk while the other swung lazily in the air.

Her crimson hair flowed over the back of the chair like a waterfall of scarlet silk.

She looked completely relaxed.

Yet the pressure radiating from her existence alone was enough to suffocate an ordinary hunter.

One of humanity’s strongest.

The Scarlet Fist.

Her eyes slowly drifted toward the file lying on the desk.

On its cover was a photograph.

Kael Voss.

She lightly tapped the folder with one finger before raising an eyebrow.

"So..."

"You’re telling me he already left?"

Standing opposite her, Ferris forced himself to remain calm despite the turmoil inside his heart.

’Am I cooked...?’

The headquarters had sent an S-rank examiner.

Not only that, they had sent her.

Out of everyone they could have chosen, they had dispatched the most troublesome battle maniac among the S-ranks.

Suppressing the urge to sigh, Ferris answered honestly.

"Not exactly."

"He said he’d return before the examiner arrived."

The Scarlet Fist stared at him for a second before gesturing toward herself.

"Well..."

"I’m already here."

"So where is he?"

Ferris felt another headache coming.

According to headquarters, the examiner wasn’t supposed to arrive for another hour.

That was exactly what he had told Kael.

Who could have predicted the Scarlet Fist would arrive this quickly?

And more importantly, why had headquarters chosen her?

Among veteran S-rank hunters, the Scarlet Fist was infamous.

Questioning headquarters was one thing. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
