I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 62 - New Lands (4)



As Billy had expected… Learning magic is easier when you have that parameter at a high level. It was supposed to be obvious, considering that he only learned light spear when he became fast and strong enough. In any case, even though he could use Fire Manipulation, he couldn't train anywhere, even if he were careful. At the very least, the fire will consume the oxygen in a closed space. That was more than enough reason not to use it at home.

"Using this at the training grounds is no good as well…" Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I suppose I will keep practicing the other elements first."

Billy decided to combine water and wind and see what happens. While he could control each element with each hand, he only ended up creating a water sphere that had air inside even with the power of the rings… he had a long way ahead.

In the end, the week off passed in the blink of an eye, even though Billy didn't interact with the troublemakers that usually take most of his time. He spent most of his time playing with his siblings since they were a well of energy. They were almost five, so it was time for them to start learning how to fight. Billy could see Samuel training vividly, but Samara was a bit too quiet for that. Her mana was starting to develop faster than Samuel, but her physical strength was getting behind due to it.

"Perhaps I should help her with that… but maybe she will dislike even using magic to fight," Billy thought. "She is pretty close to Anna, so perhaps she will follow her footsteps."

It didn't matter which path his siblings were going to take in the end. Billy was determined to watch and help them whenever possible. After saying goodbye to his family again, Billy, his father, and those who came with them a week ago began to move toward the bridge site. Three days later, they arrived, and while three more pillars had been put in the river, the people there looked troubled for some reason.

"What is wrong? what did I miss?" Billy asked.

"Hey, you are back, Billy…" Alexander said. "Well… we noticed some weird motivation on the other side of the river. It looks like people truly live on the other side, but they seemed rather cautious of us."

"Isn't that normal?" Billy frowned. "They don't know what we are building and what our intentions are… any one with half a brain would be cautious."

"That is right, we are doing this for one day to explore more these lands… it was bound to happen that we would find other tribes," Natalie said.

"Still, I am worried if we can strike a conversation first without having to fight them," Lily said.

There was a possibility that it might take place, but only in six months… there was no need to worry about that. Nevertheless, those three quickly returned to normal and then began to show the fruits of their training. Lily already could use Water Manipulation, and Natalie had gotten a bit stronger as well. As for Alexander, he was improving fast with his spear skills, but his other arts still were at a so-so level. That was a bit childish, but he decided to show them Fire Manipulation as well, to make them eager to train.

In the end, since those three had some big mouths, the world that Billy had mastered the elemental tour Manipulations spread in the group. Thanks to that, someone unexpected approached. It was Sarah.

"... I heard that you mastered Fire Manipulation, is that true?" Sarah asked while showing an expression calmer than usual.

"What if I had?" Billy asked.

"For a very long time, we heard from our elders that we can only obtain power when we are skilled and with the constant practice," Sarah said. "They also said that only a few us are chosen to be able to use the four elements… if you can use it, then that means that what they said is a lie."

It wasn't a lie… it was just their assumption of something they couldn't understand. Billy had realized that the elementalists didn't teach things to the others. They only practiced. If one wanted to learn something aside from earth Manipulation, they needed to have a wave of inspiration or succeed it by luck.

"So, I would like to see you using it," Sarah said.

Billy didn't have to show her anything since her attitude was annoying, and the elementalists were more than a little bit troublesome. Still, things will never improve if both sides keep acting like that, so Billy created a Fireball of the size of his fist.

"You just learned it less than a week… and you already can do that," Sarah furrowed her eyebrows. "... I heard that you taught some of your friends our magic. Can you do the same and teach those who don't know of our tribe fire Manipulation?"

"It depends, what will I gain from that?" Billy asked.

"I can teach you Zen and that will grant you the chance to control your magic powers more easily," Sarah said. "That arte will also increase your mana."

Billy already knew what the skill could do, and perhaps he could have some idea to learn it by himself. Still, it was only a possibility… Besides, the more mana he has, the better, and the sooner he learns it, the faster it will level up.

"Okay, I will help… but you will have to teach me that first," Billy said.

"Understood," Sarah nodded.

Billy wondered why Sarah was so quiet and calm. Was she trying to fool him? That sudden behavior change was too weird… there was also the possibility that Billy made her change her mindset. Considering what she said, she apparently thought that she was special since she could use Fire Manipulation.. Still, since Billy learned much faster than anyone else, she realized that it wasn't true.
