While Billy didn't have much experience in sparring, he managed to block Alexander's attacks pretty easily. The reason for that was that he was going easy on him… Camilla probably asked him to do that and make Billy get used to sparring.
Alexander looked at Billy's left shoulder and then tried to strike there, but Billy saw that and blocked the swing. The sa thing happened with his left leg… while Billy decided to keep his guard up in case he changed his target at the last mont. That never happened. As if that wasn't enough, Billy didn't gain the skill Spearmanship either… not even Staffmanship.
That wasn't the only problem, though. The fact that Billy didn't increase his strength began to cause trouble. Since even though they were obvious, Alexander's attacks were a bit heavy. Still, Billy decided to endure that until the end of the training session that only lasted for half an hour. After that, Camilla began to spar with Alexander, and Billy went running around the area with his staff.
"It is ti to increase my strength again… and perhaps my speed, that should help obtain Spearmanship faster," Billy said while looking at the bruises and the fact that his fingers had turned purple.

Since this ti Billy used nine status points, he clearly felt his body getting stronger and lighter. Not to ntion, the pain in his hands decreased considerably.
"Mmm… maybe I should pay more attention to the other kid's training and then learn so offensive moves," Billy thought.
Billy was in a hurry since he probably already died once, and in his new life, he had to see his parents abandoning their ho because they didn't have a choice and they were being attacked by more powerful foes. He didn't want to experience that again. Still, trying to train on his own always made him feel guilty since he wasn't learning everything from his mother. In the end, Billy decided to just show his growth and then wait for his mother to take the next step in training.
That only happened after a week… Alexander's attacks weren't so obvious anymore. Still, Billy could react and block them on ti with his current strength and speed. The only remaining problem was the fact that he had yet to learn Spearmanship…
"All right, Billy," Camilla said. "Today I am going to teach you the right posture to deliver a thrust attack… you will need to practice the posture and the attack one hundred tis every day. You can't skip the other parts of your training, so this will be an extra."
"Okay," Billy nodded.
Billy thought that thrust attacks would be easy since he used sothing similar to hit the balls of the beardo. However, he soon ca to learn that it wouldn't be easy… in the right Posture, he couldn't relax even for a mont, so he was getting extra tired after each strike… to make matters more complicated, he could only practice after doing his daily training routine.
"Mind the distance between your legs, relax your shoulders, don't strain too much your wrists…" Camilla said.
You have learned the skill Spearmanship.
It increases the power of your attacks by one point per level.
When Billy finally did everything correctly, he saw that notification. Due to the surprise, he stopped for a mont, but then Camilla pinched his cheeks. He couldn't begin to slack off now.
"I have yet to increase my strenght and my other status without relying on the system, but it should be possible since I obtained this skill," Billy thought while he resud his training.
Another thing that confird that was the strength of everyone around Billy, who had more status points allocated than they were supposed to have according to their levels. In any case, now that he had the skill, Billy felt eager to train in earnest even the tedious repetitions.
Just when things were starting to get interesting, sothing troubleso happened. Billy's grandmother returned ho alone. That was weird since she always cos with Drew…
"Did sothing happen?" Camilla asked while they were working together to make dinner.
"I don't know… he always shows up when the dicine shop is closing," Anna replied. "Did he warn you about a sudden change in work?"
"No… it seems the other warriors didn't return either," Camilla said after she looked outside their ho. "His whole squad has yet to return…"
Billy didn't like that… he didn't stop leveling up his father and his weapon when he had the chance. Still, he made sure to keep at a level where the power-up would be barely noticeable. Considering that his father didn't have problems at work in the last three years, sothing suddenly happened to make that change.
"Maybe I should call Alexander to have dinner with us since his father is also out there," Camilla said.
Camilla's motherly instincts were too strong, considering that she wanted to look after another kid. As for Billy, he couldn't help but feel troubled since kids were complicated, and interacting with them when they thought that he was a kid as well only made things even more troubleso.
In the end, Alexander had dinner with them, but the mood didn't improve since he was a quiet kid as well. Nevertheless, Drew and his squad eventually appeared around midnight. Billy only heard what happened the next day at sunrise when he saw the wounds around his father's body.. After three years, the elentalists appeared again.
