I Can Make Everything Level UP

"Since I didn\'t use that much mana, it means that to learn this, some requirements are necessary… they are probably related to skill and parameters levels," Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Who could have thought that all the work building walls would help him that way… Regardless, Billy tried to obtain control over the sphere, and while he succeeded, he used a lot more mana than he needed to fire a sphere of the same size made of earth… four times more mana, to be precise. That means that Billy couldn\'t make a cart made of iron and be the one who will make it move with magic… at least not yet.

Billy wondered if he made a weapon using that skill only, it would be affected by the level of his blacksmithing. He tried that, making a dagger completely made of iron, and while he did it insanely faster than he would with the tools of a blacksmith, it was a bit inferior, probably because he skipped the steps to improve the quality and hardness of the material… no, he didn\'t skip it, he just couldn\'t make those steps with Earth Transformation alone.

"I suppose it is fine for now… I can test combining fire manipulation with this later," Billy thought. "Still, leaving all of this behind would be a waste, so I am bringing it with me."

Billy was quite curious to see what kind of weapon he could create if he used all his mana. Over time, he would be able to create better ones while the skills level up, but still, he was curious. While he was playing with his new skill, the next few days passed in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, he didn\'t get sidetracked, and all his things were already ready to be transported.

"When things are ready, I am going to send a carriage to bring everyone to see it," Billy said while he and his family were heading to the eastern gate. "Finding a home there for all of us shouldn\'t be difficult."

"You are about to start your own life and family, Billy," Drew said. "We don\'t need us to stay with you all the time. Naturally, we will visit as much as possible."

"If he does something that you don\'t like, you come to talk with me, then I will correct him, okay?" Camilla said while he was patting Kate and Natalie\'s heads, which was really weird since they were taller than her.

"Already taking sides, mom?" Billy asked. "We are not going to live together yet, this is work."

"Just to be safe, and you have been warned, young man," Camilla said.

Billy sighed and then hugged everyone. Samuel and Samara hugged him for a while longer since they knew that Billy would show up even less than usual. They could feel that. He messed with their hair to make them recover some of their usual energy.

"Don\'t worry, I can visit you and you can visit us whenever you feel like it," Billy said. "We are free in this world and I will sure that no one will steal our freedom."

His two siblings nodded with tears in their eyes, they were raised in a family of warriors, and they never saw anyone crying, so they held back the tears. Anna was expressionless as usual, but this time, she started the hug and didn\'t let Billy go for a while.

"Take care out there," Anna said.

"Yes, Grandma," Billy said.

The others pretty much had the same difficult farewells. Even Natalie and Lucy shared a silent and awkward hug for a while. Once that was done, they began to move. While looking toward the town that they spent the last fifteen or so years. Now that he thought about it, Billy wondered why Sarah had come… her goal was to lead her people to reach new weights, after all.

"Before you ask, I am setting another example to my people," Sarah said. "Half of us are working in the fields and the next generation thinks that is their only path. I am going to build a base out there and help them find other options."

For several hours, the group traveled in silence while wondering how their life would change from now on. They were quite the adaptable group of people. Still, it was one of the first steps they were taking toward a life where they had to make their own decisions every single moment. They had to become more responsible than usual… a lot more. That was especially worrying for Kate and Natalie that until now left many things in Billy\'s hands. They had to learn how to be relied on, not only to rely upon.

After a few days of a very quiet and a bit of depressing trip, the party reached the central region of Hiloh state and then eventually the capital of the state where Jean lived. He wrote a few weeks ago that he had found some houses pretty close to one another that they could use.. As if someone could find free houses like that… he probably made the old inhabitants leave for whatever reason in order to give Billy and his friends as much convenience as possible.
