Billy tried to find so similarities between the lifestyle of the elentalists and the points they obtained the power to control mana, but he didn't find any. After that, he dueled with so of them and asked at the sa ti. One learned when he was playing with food, the other while she was playing with other kids, when they were sleeping they suddenly woke up in a bed made of earth…
In the end, after a full day of duels and lessons, he didn't learn anything new. However, he still had a hypothesis, what if the elentalists get used to controlling mana after seeing other people do so for many years? While he was just an average dude in his previous life, he beca quite adept at that after leaving with a tribe of spearn for ten years. It seed too simplistic, but it was the only thing that Billy concluded.
In any case, after going ho, nothing changed, even though his parents had heard that Billy spent the day with the elentalists. They connected the dots after the eting with the lord, after all. Also, Billy told his father to hold the spear for as long as possible, and he obeyed, even though he couldn't see the point. On the next day, though, Drew felt a lot better.
"This spear is… a magic spear?" Drew said. "Did you know that, Billy?"
"I assud that was the case since I felt pretty good while carrying that around," Billy replied. "It was a gift from the lord."
"Yeah… I had seen it in his office a few tis," Drew said. "I didn't think you had impressed him so much to the point where he would give you this so readily. I am sure he knew the effects that this spear had."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter, just stick with it to get better as soon as possible," Billy said.
Billy had checked on the skill shop for the ability recovery, but he didn't find anything… even though he had 145 skill points. Considering its effects, it wouldn't be weird if that cost five hundred skill points, after all. Still, it would be worth it since Billy would be able to improve its effectiveness several tis on a single day.
After breakfast, Billy found his friends on the way to their guard duty, and aside from Alexander, who looked troubled, Lily and Natalie looked displeased.
"What is your goal in hanging out with those people?" Lily asked.
"They almost creeped your father, Billy," Natalie said.
Billy wondered if they would keep their mouths shut if he told them the truth. If they manage that, it will be fine, but his whole mission will be destroyed if they don't. Still, after thinking for a while, he ca up with a solution to that problem. He told them what Edward ntioned about the past…
"I want to avoid that kind of thing from repeating itself," Billy said. "Besides, they could beco good allies."
Billy didn't say that he wanted to help on the bridge plan or the fact that he wanted to learn their magic because if that spreads, things will indeed get complicated, and nothing else that Bille does will be able to solve the problem.
"Hmm… if lord Edward says that, then it is probably true," Alexander said. "What would he gain by lying about that?"
"I guess so…" Lily said.
"I still don't like this," Natalie said. "They can't receive special treatnt just because they can do sothing that no one else does!"
After saying that, Natalie hurried to leave the others behind. She still was a kid, so she couldn't separate her emotions from her logical side. She was smart enough to know that they would benefit a lot from turning their elentalists into allies, but not enough to realize that they should move on and forget the past.
"Oh, well, I suppose it can't be helped," Lily shrugged, and then she went to her post with Alexander.
Billy wanted to know what couldn't be helped, but he had more important business to deal with in the end. For so odd reason, the elentalists looked less haggard that day. Even the ones who used a lot of mana to duel with Billy. Maybe Edward decided to give them enough food since Billy was already putting his plan into motion. In any case, he had a few different plans today, but even though she lost yesterday, the black-haired girl still was ready for another round.
"You sure are stubborn… What was your na again?" Billy asked. "Co to think of it, I never gave mine. I am Billy."
"My na doesn't matter… I am the one who will kill you," The girl said.
"Wow, so edgy…" Billy frowned. "Oh, well, I guess it is fine."
They dueled again, and this ti, the girl had so counterasures for Billy. When she tried to impale him with four spears, and he made one not show up, she fired so wind projectile. Billy didn't feel the changes in the air when that happened, so that confird his previous suspicions…
However, Billy still dodged the projectile that was aid at his head by moving his neck to the side because he never moved his eyes away from the girl.
"It seems you can't combine the elents, that is a bit disappointing…" Billy said.
Being looked down enraged the girl, to the point where she created a Fireball with all her mana. Not only that, the massive sphere was so big and hot that it began to make everyone around sweat bullets. That was sothing Billy couldn't defend or dodge…
"Do you want to kill your friends?" Billy asked.
The girl finally cald down a little and noticed dozens of arrows being pointed at her tribe, not to ntion, she also noticed that her fireball was wounding the people around her.. In the end, she quickly made the fireball disappear… even though she didn't recover any of the mana.
