By using Steel Spear at the sa ti, Drew and four other guards destroyed the walls, but that gave the enemies enough ti to attack again. Instead of so single-target spell, they pointed their hands toward the sa place and poured the mana into the creation of a tornado. In just a few monts, the powerful phenona beca twenty ters tall and forced Drew and the others to retreat since the powerful winds were starting to pull them. Fortunately, the elentalists needed all their focus to maintaining that, so they didn't have the chance to attack the guards that were running away.

Wind Manipulation: 100 Skill points.
That wasn't sothing Billy was expecting to see… he knew that humans in that world could do so amazing feats, but that was beyond his expectations. Slowly but surely, the elentalists began to walk toward the walls, and the guards couldn't do anything. They fired arrows, but the tornado engulfed those. Billy didn't know for how long they would be able to keep that thing up, but they certainly had the confidence to keep it alive until the walls were destroyed.
Billy looked around and confird that everyone was looking in amazent toward the tornado. He had a chance there… but he had to wait for a while longer. Thanks to the tornado, his attack will lose a lot of power the more it flies. Besides, he couldn't just attack the spell… he had to take down so of the Elentalists to break their control over it.
When Drew was about to give the order to retreat from the walls, Billy ran to the right side and a found a position where the tornado wouldn't get on his path. Once again, he checked if soone was watching him, but he didn't find anyone. So, he bent the knee and touched the floor after activating Earth Manipulation while looking toward the enemies. There was no need to exaggerate. There was no need to make a scene. He just had to stop the tornado by killing so of the elentalists… and so he did it.
When they were just thirty ters away from the wall, and so cracks began to appear thanks to the tornado, Billy fired one after the other so finger-size toward the casters. He fired seven, but five hit the enemies. Two of them got their chests pierced by the bullets, while another one got hit on the left arm, and the remaining two got hit on their legs. Those who got hit in their limbs imdiately lost them. As for the other two… they died instantly…
The tornado began to tremble since fewer people were controlling it, and the others tried to control it. However, in the end, they failed, and the energy exploded in all directions. The elentalists were sent flying for dozens of ters, and the wall suffered even more damage than before. Still, when the guards went to check it, they confird that the battle was over.
While heavily wounded, the elentalists got up and left their fallen allies behind. It was unavoidable since they were having a hard ti walking without limping. As for the guards, they couldn't tell what happened… too many things happened in the last few days, after all.
"...Let's go check the situation on the other posts… "Drew said.
All the seven recruits were left behind this ti since it was clear that the enemies wouldn't attack. Billy clicked his tongue when he heard those orders… but then he realized that the tornadoes couldn't be seen in the distance. Why aren't they using the sa strategy on the other posts?
After thinking for a while, Billy assud that they had just faced a squad of mages that were exceptionally good at coordinating and using Wind Manipulation. A magic of that level could only be used by soone with a massive mana pool, after all… or at least by a group exceptionally good at that type of magic. Still, if there were another group that could do sothing similar, they would have shown it to this point. With that in mind, Billy relaxed a little bit.
"I succeeded again, but this definitely won't do," Billy thought. "Hiding my skills is a pain… what is the use of these powers if I have to worry about the repercussions that they might bring?"
Maybe Billy should beco what his mother thinks he is… using the mask of a genius, achieve the very best he can to prevent harm from falling on his family. The last thing they needed was to endure a siege or lose another ho.
After a few hours, the recruits received the report that the other guards protected the walls despite so losses. For so reason, the elentalists weren't as violent as before… probably because the incident of the other day might happen again. They still didn't know what had happened, so focusing on attacking without so caution would be dangerous. Nevertheless, the next day, the elentalists didn't co, but the scouts of the lord had co. They proved how useful they were… Regardless, after two days, Billy and his father had the chance to return ho. Apparently, the scouts confird that the elentalists returned to their territory.
"Dad, why can't we use the magic that they used against them?" Billy suddenly asked when they were returning ho.
"... We weren't born with that kind of ability," Drew replied after a few monts of silence. "Besides, it wouldn't fit our fighting style."
It made sense; still, it didn't give Billy the opening that he wanted to show that he could use their magic, and that was sothing that could be learned… by him, at least.. Without any other choice, Billy decided to keep quiet about it.
