"First, you tell me everything you know about your power? What can you do with it? What is your current limit, and what do you think you will be able to do after the mastery of your power? Azalea, you go first," I said.
"Me? I think I can move things with my thoughts. I don't really how I do it but I just need to focus on the target," Azalea answered and unlike before, she appeared to be more cooperative.
"From now, we will refer to your power as psychokinesis. You are probably aware of the fact that gifts give the holders the ability to alter reality to a certain level," I added. "In your case, your gift gives you the ability to materialize your thoughts. However, the question is, which part of your thought is materialized? Have you ever thought about this?"
"…I tried to find more information about our gift but I couldn't find anything," Azalea said, looking a little bit frustrated.
"Well, you would never find such a thing in a book. Anyway, do you know what an aura is?"
"Aura? Some kind of… No, I don't how to explain it," Azalea said, trying to show me with some gestures what she thought aura was.
"Think about it like this," I said and used Cristal to project a 3D hologram of G*ku. "Can you see these, the energy that surrounds him? This is more or less what aura is. Now, let's find the connection between this and your gift. What if you could use this aura to create a big hand?"
This time, the aura turned into a big hand that stretched and moved around him, grabbing things.
"Do you understand now?" I asked.
"Are you saying that I can use my aura to do something like this?"
"More precisely, you can control your aura with your thoughts. However, not every type of aura can be used as such, otherwise, every high-level gift holder would be able to use psychokinesis," I explained. "So your true gift is your aura and your unusual psychic facilities. Now, tell me, what are the limits of your power?"
Azalea looked like she began to realize what exactly her gift was and it was a good thing to see that she was smart.
"I can only lift three things at once, for now, and I can't lift something too heavy, or can I control it when they are too far from me," Azalea said.
"What about people? Can you use your power in them?"
"I can, but most of the time it was not that effective," Azalea said.
"Well, that's pretty logical considering your level."
Gift holders had a fairly considerable amount of physics strength after all, and even though their gift, it would be hard for Azalea to inflict any damage on them.
So, what do you think you could do with your power in the future?" I added. "After all, I want you to have a goal that you can set your eyes on."
"If I could lift more things at once, it would be good. Also, heavy things, if I could lift heavy things, I would be unstoppable," Azalea said with a determined tone.
She was more simple-minded than I thought, but she wasn't also wrong to think that way.
"For reference, what kind of heavy thing do you want to be able to lift with your ability in the future?"
"Mmm, a spaceship? No, three big spaceships. No one would dare to bother me and my sister anymore after that," Azalea said.
Well, in a way, what she said was truly intimidating, at least if she talked to the old me.
However, now that I knew about the scale of power in this world, her thoughts sounded na?ve but it was fine even if she stayed that way for the time being.
"I see, well, you can do that but it depends on your efforts," I said, thinking about what exactly Azalea could do in the future.
As expected of a simple-minded person, Azalea thought that the bigger the things she could lift and throw at her opponent, the stronger she would become.
In a way, she wasn't wrong, but I was more focused on things at the atomic scale these days.
Like what I did with the iron atoms, Azalea would become an incredibly powerful gift holder if she could exploit this realm. Well, unlike me, it would be hard for her to achieve a level of concentration in which she would be able to control every atom in her surrounding.
Nonetheless, if she could do that, she would become more useful for the crisis that had yet to come.
Well, she would need to be able to lift, not only three but twenty spaceships if she wanted to be able to do such a thing.
Consequently, I didn't include her in the important part of the plan.
"Now, let's about Rose's gift. What can you do with your gift?"
"M-me? I- I can send my thoughts to other people's minds. But It doesn't have any effect most of the time," Rose said and she still appeared like an innocent child.
"As I thought, your ability is called telepathy," I affirmed. "Again, this is because of the nature of your aura. Emotions and thoughts are all signals that are produced inside our brain, and use your aura to control othet people's thoughts and emotions."
"I-I see," Rose nodded vigorously at my words.
"Then again, this type of gift is the most mysterious of all, and, mastering it requires a lot of patience and knowledge," I said.
Looking at Rose, I knew that she had a hidden side and her thoughts were not as simple as Azalea's.
Thus, I decided to not give her too much information about her gift for the time being and just train her.
If my theory was true, she had the ability to manipulate people's emotions was a very dangerous weapon.
To put it simply, she could create a certain wavelength that affects people's emotions, and if she learned to control the power, I would be surprised if she would be able to read people's minds and emotions.
Again, this would need a lot of concentration and she must polish her skills but if she could do that, she would become a pretty scary person.
Of course, they wouldn't stand a chance against me even if they reached that level, but it was always better to be careful when it came to things like this.
"Now-"
"Tok! Tok! Tok!"
Before I could continue, I heard someone knocking at the door. I already knew that it was Blanca but she had also other people along with her.
"Master, Lord Redmond wishes to talk with you," Blanca said. I could still feel some awkwardness in her voice, but instead of having a negative impact, it gave a more interesting touch to her character.
She appeared to be some kind of beast who was wearing human skin. Well, normal people wouldn't notice that but someone like my uncle had surely seen through her acting.
However, I had already taken this into account. Someone who had a beast like that under them would be no joke, or so I wanted them to think.
I didn't say this Blanca, of course, because I wanted her to focus on getting better at playing her character and in the end, acquire the skill itself. Cristal was helping her when she needed to say something but it was not enough.
Anyway, Blanca and her acting was one thing but seeing Redmond and the bossy woman from earlier gave me another idea.
"What brought you here this time, uncle?" I said, gesturing for my uncle and the woman politely to sit.
"Well, I need to discuss various things with you," my uncle said, and I could see that his eyes were focused on the twins.
Well, considering that the woman was with her, I already knew that it was related to what happened earlier. I didn't intend to apologize though, and instead, I would take advantage of this opportunity to establish the groundwork for the first step of my plan.
"I see, well, as you can see, I am still in the middle of a discussion with these ladies, but if the topic that you want to discuss is of the highest importance, then I will postpone it for later," I said, looking at the woman next to my uncle with a smile on my face.
"You…" The woman looked like she wanted to say something but decided to shut her mouth after the smile on my face disappeared.
"No, it's fine, I want to hear their opinions about this matter too," my uncle said.
"Are you referring to the reason why I bought them here? Well, I am glad that you came here. I want to discuss something with you, uncle," I said and a smile appeared on my face again.
