Billy blinked several tis when he heard that… It seed a bit too soon for a kid of his age to learn how to fight. While he could run, his short body didn't let him move the way he truly wanted to beco faster… still, it made sense for Camilla since Billy never interacted with other kids and just spent his day watching them while he ditated.
Putting aside the fact that he didn't have any interest in playing with other children, the fact that they were also training hard due to the situation of the tribe didn't help.
"Okay, Mom," Billy said.
It will probably take more than a few years for Billy to have to fight for his life and or protect his tribe, but maybe that was a good chance. While he could beco stronger by using his skills and system, that probably wouldn't be enough without proper training. Besides, Billy wanted a weapon to power up to its very limits. The more he creates several of them, the better things will be for him. In any case, maybe he should spend his status and skill points to help with the training.
"It might be a bit scary, but you will get used to it," Camilla said.
"Okay," Billy nodded.
"Sotis it will be painful, but that will only help you in the future," Camilla added.
"Yes," Billy nodded again.
"You are smarter than the other kids, so I am sure you will learn fast," Camilla said.
"... Yes," Billy said while frowning slightly.
"But that doesn't an that you can let yourself beco arrogant," Camilla said. "Strength needs pure purposes, otherwise your strength will stagnate. Steel your resolve and then you will gain strength like no other and reach heights never seen before. Here."
Camilla passed to Billy, a staff that was as tall as him. While it wasn't that long for an adult, it sure would be difficult for him to use it. Not to ntion, it wasn't made of wood. It was made of stone, so it is pretty heavy.
"The kids around here train from the very beginning with weapons made of stone and that builds up their strenght over ti," Camilla said. "While we don't have the habit of training with heavy weapons, we are adopting the sa habit."
Billy wondered why it was a staff with no tips. It seed pretty silly not to have one since it was basically a weapon due to its weight and hardness. Another weird thing was the fact that everyone in the villages had spears… Billy didn't feel like using them. A sword or even a bow would be a better option…
"The trick to beco a master in the use of any weapon is to use them like they are an extension of your body," Camilla said. "So, to reach that level, you will have to do everything without letting go of that staff."
It made sense, and it also seed simple enough. Billy could do that while he ditates, but then his mother told him to move around the area to get so exercise and get used to his staff. It didn't take long for Billy to realize that things wouldn't be easy… since he didn't increase his strength in over two years, and he wasn't the type to play with other kids. His body was pretty weak.
"Well, I guess it is for monts like this I have this system," Billy said and fixed the weight of the staff by increasing his strength by two points. "Now I must have the strength of a three years old boy…"
Despite that, it didn't take long for Billy to think of increasing his strength again. Since he didn't have any place to light the staff and carrying it with a single arm was too hard, he was using both… and both arms were getting tired at the sa ti.
"Oh, well… Let's start playing with this," Billy thought and then began to pass his mana to the weapon.
After so point in the last two years, Billy wondered if he should level up and strengthen items. Wouldn't it be better if he focused on himself in the end? Weapons can be stolen and broken, but his own strength couldn't be stolen… that being said, he reached a point where with the mana of a single of his level-ups, he could make a weapon level up seven to eight tis. He couldn't ignore that…
Stone Staff
Strength 02, Endurance 02
Durability: 15/15
After analyzing the staff, Billy confird that the bonus status of the weapon couldn't affect his HP, MP, and SP. They could only affect those when they had the special effects granted by using skill points. Still, those bonuses probably increased his strength and endurance, but it looked like the bonus was weak since he couldn't feel that much power coming from it.
"I can't increase the strength, otherwise the training will be essentially useless," Billy thought.. "Since I won't fight anyti soon, I will save the points for later and slowly strengthen the staff."
