I Can Make Everything Level UP-Chapter 11: Conflict (1)
In the end, Camilla didn't teach Billy a single thing in a full month. The only thing he had to do was to get used to the weapon and its weight. During that time, he made the staff reach level ten, and he checked the effects that it could have.
HP Lv 01 - 10 skill points.
MP Lv 01 - 10 skill points.
SP Lv 01 - 10 skill points.
Solid Attack Lv 01 - 50 skill points
The options didn't increase all that much, but Billy liked the power of the new effect. It grants a point in strength for as long as the user can fight without getting hit. While it didn't seem much, the effect increased up to ten times, so if the effect reaches level ten, the weapon will give a bonus of one hundred points in strength after the user stays ten seconds without getting hit. Naturally, the weapon will have to reach level one hundred to have that many skill points…
"Something feels off… the effects seemed too small in number, the options are far too few," Billy thought.
Billy didn't have that much time to meditate as before, so he had to use his time wisely and think of the best options. So, he couldn't help but feel troubled due to the lack of options. Another day passed while Billy was thinking about that, and his father and grandmother appeared. In the end, Anna decided to stay with them since it was more convenient. Besides, as much as she tried to look cold, she always liked to sit down and mess with Billy's head to relax. Nevertheless, the mood of those two seemed a bit difficult that day while they were having dinner.
"Did something happen today?" Camilla asked.
"The lord finally decided to give us some extra rights for our hard work, we now can move across the whole town without asking for permission beforehand," Drew replied. "He also wanted us to form a special squad with the people of our tribe and guard one of the sides of the walls when necessary. I was appointed to lead that group."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Camilla frowned.
"Yes, it is… but I feel like I obtained a new level of strength without deserving it, my weapon also looks more powerful than the others," Drew said.
Billy gulped since he was the cause of that… he was trying to help, but perhaps he caused more problems instead of solving them. That world was a dangerous one, but the strength to survive isn't the only thing one needs… strength can also bring jealousy and extra responsibilities.
"When some other tribes heard that, they didn't like it since they have been here for longer than us," Drew said. "In the end, a fight broke out and the guards of the lord of the town had to break some bones. Even some of ours got wounded… while it looked like the issue was solved, many other things related to this will probably happen in the future."
Billy was worried since now he didn't know what he should do anymore. The strength of his father was moving away from the others of his tribe and quickly reaching the level of the guards of the town… it will be troublesome if even those get jealous of him. Billy couldn't imagine his father getting killed due to his strength. That would be a loss to the town. However, his spear might be stolen, and people will realize that it is far stronger than others. It was hard to imagine them finding the answer as to why that was the case, though.
"Just talk to your subordinates not to fall for any taunts and things will be fine," Anna said. "We can't let our ego inflate anymore since we had to abandon out territory."
"I know worried about their actions, I am worried about what might happen to them if something unexpected happens to annoy them…" Drew said. "Anyway, it has been a while since you began to train Billy, is there anything related to it that I need to hear?"
"No, Billy is very diligent and never complains," Camilla said while smiling.
"Totally unlike us, I see…" Drew said and then patted his son's head. "We hated training when we were young since we didn't understand how dangerous things were outside the village."
Instead, Billy was more interested in what his father mentioned earlier… the possibility of happening to annoy the other warriors of the tribe… was his family safe from that? Billy couldn't deny that humans are a species stupid enough to turn to one another when they are bored or when they just want to keep or gain something stupid.
Billy waited for something to happen for quite a while, but nothing happened even after a full year. However, when the kids of the village began to play around town after their training, a certain seven years old boy one day returned while being pulled roughly by the arm by a redhead beardo and several other grown-up men. Another kid was behind them, but it seemed that the body belonged to their tribe.
"What is going on here?" Camilla asked when she recognized the boy who was being dragged down. He was a kid who lost his mother on the day he was born, and his father was working as a guard.
That boy was being trained by the mother of another kid, but she wasn't around at the moment, so Camilla felt that she had to step forward for him.
"This brat attacked my kid and then disrespected me when I scolded him!" The redhead beardo said in a loud tone.
"That is why you felt the need to grab him like this and come with other adults?" Camilla frowned. "I am sure you need their help to solve this small matter."
"Kids like this need to be treated roughly, otherwise they will cause even more problems later on!" The redhead man raised his voice even more.
"Let him go," Camilla said.
