Development of Gift 1

"Development of our Gift?!"

They were surprised, but the most surprised one was Jin and Kuro Usagi, who had never thought about this possibility.

"Galdo is just a small fry. Our target has always been a Demon Lord. You have already seen how strong the Demon Lord is with the condition of this community, which is why we need to get stronger." Haru looked at them and asked calmly, "With your power, do you have the confidence to defeat the Demon Lord?"

"......" Everyone.

"Now, do you understand why you have to develop our Gift?" Haru asked.

"But... my Gift is useless..." Jin said bitterly. If he was as powerful and capable as Haru, then would the "no-name" community be in this unfortunate situation?

If Jin was as powerful as Haru, then he would challenge Gift Games one after another, making everyone's life better.

"Jin-bocchama..." Kuro Usagi also looked at Jin bitterly since she knew that Jin's Gift was useless.

Asagi, Shirayuki, Asuka, Yuu, and Izayoi didn't say anything since there was something inevitable in this life.

"There are no useless Gifts, only someone who hasn't found the right use of their Gifts," Haru said calmly.

".........." Everyone was in a daze, hearing Haru's words.

Asagi and Shiroyuki were full of smiles and hugged Haru's arms at the same time, thinking that their man (master) was the best.

".........." Asuka, Yuu, and Kuro Usagi looked at Asagi and Shiroyuki bitterly.

However, Jin looked at Haru hopefully and asked, "Is - Is my Gift isn't useless?"

"No." Haru shook his head and said, "Gift is a mysterious power and the reason why you see your Gift is useless is that you haven't found the right way to use it. Tell me about your Gift later, and I'll try to explain how to use it later."

"Ye - Yes!" Jin was full of smiles, thinking that he might do something for this community and he wouldn't become a burden anymore.

"Well, let's start with Yuu first since after I have copied your Gift I have learned a lot of things from your Gift and how to make you more powerful," Haru said.

"Is there a way to make me powerful?" Yuu asked curiously.

"Of course." Haru nodded and asked, "Do you want to know?"

"Yes!" Yuu nodded without hesitation.

"First, let me explain about your Gift first, Yuu," Haru said.

"Yes."

"The name of your Gift is "Genome Tree" and with this Gift, you're able to absorb the genetic data of the animals that come into contact with the possessor and make a copy of it to be used later. The abilities or characteristics can then be recalled by the possessor, to be utilized later. I have checked that you have absorbed some of the genetic data ---"

"It's proof that we have become friends!" Yuu protested, but her expression was still blank.

"Yes, yes, but let me finish my explanation first," Haru said.

"Um." Yuu nodded.

"In your Genome Tree, I have seen that you have absorbed the genetic data of elephant, cat, dog, bat, and any other animals. Lastly, there's also Griffin's genetic data too. With the generic data of those animals, you will be able to copy the traits and abilities of those animals such as the weight of an elephant, the sonar echoes of bats, the flexibility of cats, and there was a lot more. You might not have tasted it, but you can also use the ability of Griffin that you have gotten yesterday such as flying, creating a whirlwind, powerful strength, etc. I have to admit that your Gift is powerful," Haru said.

"..........."

Everyone was in a daze since hearing Haru's explanation, they had to admit that Yuu's Gift was amazing.

"I see..." Yuu nodded and didn't feel surprised since her Gift was amazing.

"However, the way you use your Gift is wasteful," Haru said without mercy.

"Wasteful?" Yuu showed a stunned expression.

"Yuu, you should know that in this world, there are a lot of amazing animals. For example, have you ever thought of copying genetic data of an insect such as an ant or rhinoceros beetles?" Haru asked.

"......." Yuu blinked her eyes, showing confusion.

"Yuu, you should know that an ant can lift and carry something 50 times their own body weight and rhinoceros beetles can also lift something 850 times their own weight. If you copy those two insects, how powerful will you become?" Haru asked.

"..........."

Everyone was in a daze, hearing Haru's explanation and they imagined if Yuu copied the genetic data of ant or rhinoceros beetle, they could see that Yuu would become so strong!

"Also, have you heard about axolotl?" Haru asked.

"Axolotl?" Yuu was confused, but she nodded.

"Do you know that axolotl can regenerate any other body parts of their bodies except their heads? If, for example, you're hurt, then you can use the ability of the axolotl to heal yourself, you know?" Haru said.

"............." Everyone.

Yuu was also in a daze since it was her first time hearing it.

"From now on, you should read a lot of books to understand the abilities of animals in this world. Some small and cute animals that you don't think are powerful might have an unexpected power that can help you in critical moments," Haru said.

"I understand." Yuu nodded since she realized that she had missed a lot of unexpected friends.

"It might be impossible to communicate with insects since their brains are all too small, but you can't underestimate their power. You should understand that if an insect is as big as we are, they might be able to dominate the world," Haru said with a serious expression.

The guys were alright, but the girls shuddered when they thought that an insect to have a similar size to them. However, they also had to admit that the power of an insect was amazing.

"Also, you should also realize that you can combine the power of each animal. I have tested it before and we can combine the power of those animals together," Haru said.

"Combine the power of animals?" Yuu looked at Haru curiously.

"Yes." Haru nodded with a smile and said excitedly, "Try to imagine. You have the strength of an ant, the speed of a falcon, the flexibility of a snake, regeneration of axolotl, and a lot more. Try to imagine how strong you were at that time."

".........." Everyone

Yuu also became excited when she heard Haru's words.

"But of course, since you're in the Little Garden, you might be able to copy the ability of legendary animals such as Garuda, Dragon, Kraken, Manticore, World Turtle, World Elephant, and a lot more, then you combine it together," Haru said.

"Wow!"

Everyone's mind exploded directly when they thought that Yuu's small body would contain such a scary power!

"Does it really work that way? Isn't there a limit?" Izayoi asked with a frown since if Yuu didn't have a limit, then her power was simply frightening!

"Of course there's a limit, but I'm still testing that limit and whether there's a way to break that limit so be patient, Yuu," Haru said.

"Thank you, Haru," Yuu said with a smile.

"You don't need to worry. I'm happy to help you. But keep your thanks later since there's more," Haru said.

"There's more!?" Everyone's mind was almost numb at that moment, but they didn't expect that Yuu's power would be more than that!

"You can copy animal's ability, but you can't copy animal's traits such as bird's wings, elephant's trunk, cat's fangs, right?" Haru said.

"Yes." Yuu nodded.

"Well, it is just my hypothesis, but even if you can't copy their traits, you might be able to make an equipment of them," Haru said.

"Equipment?!" Everyone.

"Equipment?" Yuu was confused by Haru's words.

Haru nodded and said, "Yes, before that, if you copy turtle's genetic data, you can't create a shell on your body, right?"

"Yes." Yuu nodded. "I can't create it. I can only copy the defense ability of the turtle."

Haru nodded then explained, "It's just my hypothesis, but after you have mastered your Gift, you should be creating something like a shield of turtle shell, wings of birds, a bludgeon of elephant's trunk, the armor of porcupines, and a lot more. Everything should depend on your imagination at how you're going to interpret your friends' ability."

"..........." Everyone.

Haru then also explained how Yuu would be able to talk with animals, and became stronger as long as she copied an animal's ability, which made everyone become speechless.

"........." Everyone's mind was numb already.

"Yuu, your Gift is powerful, but you haven't used all of its potential. I know that you might be satisfied with your power already, but you should remember that as long as you have become more powerful, you can find more friends and you can also protect your friends too, remember?" Haru said while looking at Yuu.

"Yes, Haru." Yuu nodded with a gentle smile. The power to protect her friends, hearing Haru's words, she knew that she needed to get stronger.

Haru then drank water since he felt that his throat was a bit dry since he had talked for a while but he knew that he couldn't stop now since everyone was waiting for him. He looked at everyone who was looking at him and asked, "So who is next?"

Hearing Haru's words, everyone raised their hands at the same time.
