VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

"What do you think when you hear the word 'grass'?

Green blades of thin green Leaves growing out of the ground directly?

A green grassland present in a plain flatland?

What about the green floors present in the forest areas? What about the lawns, or grass that one grows in their backyard? Or in small pots?"

He was asking her an abstract question, but Sera knew he wasn't simply asking about grass.

[{ I think about the grass in the flowerpot present in the room where you summoned me for the first time, master. }]

There were various things one could think when they heard any word. And much of the thought process is a lifelong conditioning.

One adapts to certain things, they learn, and they acquire various knowledge.

That acquired knowledge, skills and experience are retained through a periodic recall and without it, the skills and the knowledge that one has acquired slowly gets forgotten.

If they do recall it after a long time, some parts of it might come back, however, not all of it. There is always something that is left out, and that is simple because how the mind functions.

"You're too kind to say that, Sera."

[{ Haha, not at all, master~. }]

She was cheerful, but there was still a lot that she wasn't thinking about at the moment.

It had not been long since she was summoned by her master so the memories that she has are limited.

Though, the knowledge about this world that she had from her past was surely something beyond simple common sense.

"Well, anyway…"

He was simply asking her what it is that she thought about their current situation.

They were in a forest that also had many open areas filled with diverse kinds of plants and mainly, various kinds of grass.

There was wild grass and there were medicinal herbs that looked just like simple blades of grass.

However, in this closed off environment where most of the plant life was pretty independent and free from a great lot of outside interference, most of the herbs and plants and even the most common of the grass here was a little different from their ancestral species.

It was quite big, it had adapted to this environment with less predators, and since there were certain distinctions within the areas, some of them were scattered throughout the forest and were focused in places that had comparatively less natural predators.

Still, that one blade of grass was a lot more different from the other things that he had seen here.

"While some of the plants here have developed many protective features, the one that we saw was simply a plain grass blade."

He did not yet know why it was glowing, but he knew there was some kind of phenomenon, or at least some kind of specialness of it that made it glow.

There were various possibilities that they were considering about this particular grass.

It also grew alone in a certain area and was taken by a unique creature from right before their eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And, since Elio did not feel any Mana, or any element for that matter, he wasn't really certain what was so special about it that that creature felt his presence about it threatening.

"Did it want the grass blade, or was it protecting us from it? Or was it simply hungry?"

He did not know.

But he wanted to know what the reason could have been so… he was searching for that grass along with the gang of his new friends.

He had showed them what they were looking for since he fortunately had a picture of that grass, so now, all the dozens of them and the two of them were searching through the forest, going to various places and looking at not just the ground but the trees as well.

It was a single blade of grass, but the things that they were focusing on right now was its luminosity, it's comparatively smaller size, and it's rather simple features compared to the other things that the creatures might have seen around here.

He wasn't expecting much from them, but at the very least, with their help, they might stumble upon another one of those grass blades.

[{ I'm moving to the next area, master. }]

"Alright, Sera. Come back here in ten minutes if you don't find anything."

[{ Alright~. }]

Apparently, he thought he could get a map or something of this entire forest if he used his eye skill's analysis feature on this entire forest.

However, he found out something new about his unique skill.

"I'll continue looking around here."

[{ Yes, master. }]

The eye skill that he had, {Three Eyes} was not simply a skill that can show him the uses, and traits of something, or someone.

Aside from analysis, his eyes had more abilities as well, and he could certainly get an entire map of something with that skill however… there were limitations of this unique skill.

And one of those limitations, as he had just found out, was how he needed to actually see someone or something to use his analysis ability on it.

"Be careful."

[{ Yes… master. }]

Be it a creature, a tree, a small blade of grass, an item, or an entire forest. If he wanted to analyze it, if he wanted his eyes to analyze it all for him, he would have to see all of it directly.

Plus, as he had learned from his experience last time, he couldn't use his eye skill on all the things equally.

There were some things that he needed to stare at for longer if he wanted to get any information from it, and there were some things that took a shorter time.

If he knew anything about something, he didn't need much time at all, while on the other hand, like that grass, he would need a lot more than just a little staring to get any information on it.

But, then again, that was not the only limitation that this skill had. Read the latest on empire

And… he will take a long time to understand that Simple fact.
