The Eternal Family



"I don't know if you can win against the Brat in a fight this way, but I think I have a way to increase your chances." Emma's voice lingered inside the room for a moment.

Valeria raised an eyebrow, curious, even she herself believed there was no chance after all.

And as for Mad Hooligan, they had all put him to the back of their minds silently.

"Harry, You absorbed Mom's Jade transformation earlier, right?" Emma asked.

Valeria blinked, Ah! The kid came with a jade machete into her room earlier and she didn't notice that he got a gift… she frowned, unlike other people, she had noticed that noticing Harry's peculiarities was quite hard without him revealing it himself, as if some veil covered him.

A veil of secrets.

She was curious but she didn't ask. And even if she did, Harry only knew that he was hidden from senses due to having the system, if someone asked anything else, it would just be adding more questions to his already long list.

In the end, he could only think it was part of being hidden from Fate.

Harry nodded, "I absorbed Mom's Gift earlier."

"But the way you are using it is different from my way, what you did earlier was in a way, using my Gift to control the outside world. Whereas what I do is control my insides and transform them to jade, actually… my body transforms into a jade-like structure when I turn on my Gift," Emma pondered for a second before saying, "And in my opinion, if you can make your body into jade, even though full body jade-like mine is impossible in Stage 1, if you jadeify at least your skin, it should negate most of the problem against his speed, he can't damage you much after all…"

Valeria from the side shook her head, "I also thought of that, and that's why I said it is impossible to win…" She smiled, "But I never told you it's impossible not to be defeated."

"Ah, I see, so I can learn to make my skin and defeat will almost be out of the picture?"

"Yes."

"So how do I do that?"

Emma chuckled, "Two days left for the battle, so if you trained enough, maybe you might end up being able to do it?"

Harry squeezed her ass, "How much time did it take you to learn to do that?"

"2 days."

"So it's quite easy," Harry said.

Lilly muttered in between chewing his neck still, "It is mother's gift unlike yours, so what do you expect? It will be easy for her of course, but it might be hard for you, so don't underestimate the effort." Even though she said all that, she was just irritated that the hand playing around with her butt left it to play around with her mother's.

Harry then asked, "But not being defeated alone is nothing, I have to win if I want that Gu…" he just couldn't come up with a flashing idea. He knew there must be some weird possibility, after all, the world had thousands of shifts it could take, why can't one be him pulling a small miracle?

Sigh…

Nothing was coming to his mind.

Lilly then said, this time, not a murmur but words spoken with seriousness, "Big brother, you also have to mind the fact that the Gift you show to the world doesn't bring out questions, there has never been a time where two people with the same Gift existed, so…" she left the remaining part unsaid, it was obvious.

And Harry could understand that.

What? Harry and Emma both have jade transformation?

He could feel and understand the possible issues thoroughly.

Lilly looked at his focused face and then said, "You also have to decide what Gift to showcase since that will be what the Null Prince will then be known to have. You have to be careful to let the world only know what you want it to know."

Harry nodded, and said, "I want them to think of me as talented, truly talented, like one of those rare people from the academy who can fight the three Great Gifted on equal terms."

An Eternal Talent level.

Or at least someone with the potential to be an Eternal Talent.

Lilly pondered on it deeply, it wouldn't take much time for Harry to stand on equal or even higher footing to people on her level, as long as he consistently tries to improve, he should become stronger. But for now, if she had to be honest, she could easily mop the floor with him.

He was just a greenhorn for now after all, and not even an especially strong greenhorn, if he were to fight even average Stage 1's he should find it a hard battle if it was not some sneak attack or something.

Whereas people like Hugh Vincias were not someone average, if there was a tier for people at the Great Gifted's level, then he should be just below it.

So, the question was, how can Harry take himself from average to Hugh's level for the fight two days later and still keep gifts like DreamWalker hidden.

If he were to use it, there was a chance he could be considered above average, but even if he used it without caring for the consequence, he wouldn't stand a winning chance.

So to win the Gu thing, what does her brother have to do…

The more she pondered, the more she found it impossible.

There was too much on the line and too little breathing space.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm But no, she didn't want her brother to lose… even if it was a draw, she didn't want him to lose. That might make him be looked down upon.

A long silence settled in the room and seconds kept ticking, they each knew it was almost a lost cause. Experience was not something you build within a day and the Monkey Kid, whatever the case may be… had experience fighting and was well-trained.

Harry clenched his teeth, what option is there?

He now knew the guy's gift.

Speed… what can beat speed?
