Even though they had some meals together and slept in the same rooms, the group didn't talk too much, probably because they feared that they would be heard by the people around. Weirdly enough, Edward would stay behind as a guest of Jean. Drew felt troubled over leaving their leader behind, but again, he couldn't protest. When night came, they left the city toward the enemy's location and as soon as he had the chance, Leo let out a long sigh. He could understand the necessity of starting a relationship…

"... You just came to realize about our existence and you already want to get involved in our wars?" Jean frowned. "While it sounds weird, I believe that we both can benefit from this and it is also a good chance to show you that we truly want to get along with your state," Edward explained. "Our tribes have many specialties, so I am sure we can be useful even with our small numbers. In exchange for that, I only want some good rewards for my men." "That can be done, but while I heard that you have…

In the beginning, pretty much everyone loved the idea of moving without having to use their legs. The carriages were that useful. However, they couldn't wait to leave the damn place after a couple of days. It shook too much, and it was too for their butts, even with cushions. Fortunately, during those four days, they stopped at two other villages and used the military posts that had enough beds for them. On the morning of the fifth day, they finally reached their destination. It wasn't a town… it was…

Horses, ravens… Billy knew that they existed in that world, but it was rare to find normal animals since they were also targeted by monsters. Most likely, the people beyond the river were raising and protecting them from making good use of those. Still, he wondered if the others had understood what that guy meant... they didn't know that messages could be written down... yet. In any case, from the army of six hundred, only fifty left the area and guided Billy and the others toward the East. After…

Putting the demands aside, Billy was more worried about the name of that Captain. Pierre… that was definitely a french name. Until now, he only found English-like names. So, that made him frown. "Very well, we will explain the situation to our leader," Drew said. "It will take a few days, though." While the leaders of the tribes understood those demands, the other members frowned. It looked like they were being looked down… a mere captain demanding the presence of Edward. Still, they only thought…

"This isn't so bad…" Natalie said while swinging the new sword. "Make another one because it will mess up with my stance if I wield two weapons with different weights." "Instead of saying thank you for a favor… you ask for another one?" Billy frowned. "Seriously, kids these days are something else…" When they dueled again, Natalie was even slower than before. Still, at least the weapon was absorbing the damage properly, and she no longer looked cornered. She was actually using their weight to…

Aside from messengers, all soldiers were forced to stay on the bridge site from now on. So, Billy will have to forget about his week off for a while. Again, it was a pain, but it was inevitable... "Hopefully, Samuel and Samara will continue on with their training without me," Billy thought. "You are looking absent-minded again… you are losing your edge, Billy," Natalie said. "Come to think of it, it has been a while since you had a spar and fought using only your spear." "I suppose so, what is…

Just helping Natalie with her training wouldn't do him any good, so Billy decided to alternate his firing elements. That way, if a situation required him to fire a certain element, he would be able to respond as fast as possible. Natalie complained at first, but once she heard the explanation, she decided to ignore it. She wasn't the only one who could benefit from the training… "Why do your earth bullets make that weird sound?" Natalie asked. "I make them rotate to gain some extra piercing power…

While Billy was returning to the bridge site, he imagined all kinds of applications he could do with magic. The most obvious one was to fly… but while he indeed could propel his body upward while firing a gust of wind from his feet after jumping, it wasn't that perfect. Firing two gusts of wind from his feet at the same time was hard. "There are so many things I want to try…" Billy thought. "But it will take a while before I am skilled enough to do so. Considering the power that the rings will give…

In the end, making his siblings level up or improve their spears could solve the problem, but that wouldn't teach Billy's siblings that they could overcome almost everything with hard work. Still, it wasn't like Billy had done any special training that made him improve, so when the next morning came, he only asked them to spar in order to see their good and bad points. After just five minutes, Billy discovered the problem. Samara was top defensive, and she hesitated in attacking when she found an…
