Chapter 281 Reasons (9)
Pierre decided to follow Billy\'s advice, and things worked well when the barbarians saw that he wasn\'t looking at them like they were wild animals. In the first place, calling them barbarians was quite presumptuous since it was only based on their appearance. Still, Svan, his people, and those that came before them liked it because it sounded strong. It was a title much stronger than beast tamers... and most people of other states didn\'t have that.
Once again, Billy had to take a break from the missions because his magic cart didn\'t have enough fuel. Thanks to that, he had some time to train, work on the tunnels and train his skills in the dungeon. It almost felt like he was working less doing what he came to do… Nevertheless, Pierre felt thankful for the break because things would get messy if Billy kept bringing people at that pace.
"Hmm… maybe I should send a letter home to put them at ease," Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Are you afraid that they will whip you if you don\'t do that?" Pierre asked.
"I was thinking out loud… but they probably will," Billy said. "Putting that aside, how are things going with the reallocation of the immigrants?"
"Are you sure you want to be bothered by that?" Pierre asked. "You already have too much work in your hands now."
"That bad, huh," Billy said.
"... Yes, some people… those who have relatives who died in the last two wars are being… rather unwelcoming with the immigrants," Pierre said. "Still, nothing too serious has happened since I am pretty famous and I only work with things that are vital for lord Jean. So, causing problems with things related to this matter will result in severe punishments."
Pierre was right. Billy couldn\'t be bothered by that kind of thing. He already had too much on his plate. He was also hoping to finish that work in the next two weeks because he didn\'t want to leave his pregnant wives for longer.
You have learned Stamina Manipulation.
In any case, after two days of rest from work, Billy finally got the hang of that breathing technique. He wondered why he never learned when he had some skills that used his stamina. The issue was the fact that he didn\'t use them consciously… skills like Light Spear used his stamina, but only because he learned them after constant practice. Still, now with that skill, he probably could make those skills even more powerful by using more stamina. His body would suffer some pain since it would be a power beyond his strength, but he was okay with that.
"Finally… Now you just have to keep practicing it, after a few weeks, you should be able to use Palm Cannon," Gilles said.
Billy couldn\'t wait that long, so he just made the skill reach level ten. He could control one extra point of stamina with each level, and at level ten, he finally could do that. After raising a target of dirt, Billy prepared to use that skill, and just by thinking and focusing, he felt his stamina being focused on the palm of his right hand. Once that was done, he attacked the space in front of him.
You have learned Palm Cannon.
Billy saw the shockwave hitting and making a perfectly circular hole in the target. It also had the same concentrated power as Light Spear version two. In any case, Billy also saw a green aura on the shockwave… Maybe it was because he used stamina consciously.
"... Are you a good or a bad learner?" Gilles asked, visibly in shock.
It was only natural since he didn\'t know about Billy\'s skills. Nevertheless, Billy wanted to learn Chi as well. Still, Gilles explained that it was like an improved version of the breathing technique. After it reaches a certain level, he will be able to get energy from the air in order to heal and recover faster.
Chi: It makes you recover one point extra of health, mana, and stamina per level.
Billy used to analyze on the skill and saw that it was even better than expected. Although it was a skill, it worked like a passive one… Billy didn\'t have to do anything to enjoy its awesome effects. Thanks to that, he decided to make that skill level up as soon as possible… He will probably learn it once Stamina Manipulation reaches level fifty.
"It is your turn now," Billy said while looking at Svan.
"You are rather hungry for power… You would make a good barbarian," Svan said.
"I am sure your daughter will find a good man, one almost as good as me," Billy said.
Svan started explaining, and Billy couldn\'t help but frown. While that skill was certainly something that most barbarians could use, it required more mental training than anything. Essentially, Billy had to think of things that make him angry and then suddenly think of things that make him happy and things like that. The faster he learns that, the more able he will be to control his switch. Also, he would become almost immune to taunts.
"It is quite the weird method of training…" Billy said.
"Once you master that, you will be able to do many other things like fall asleep immediately and even sleep while you maintain your awareness," Svan said. "The only issue is that it puts a burden on your body. On the beginning, you won\'t feel much exhaustion and pain, but overtime, you might damage your body if you keep that state for too long. There are people among us that had to sleep for three days straight after using that skill for half an hour."
Billy decided to do some tests once he learned the skill. Still, he assumed that for every minute with that skill active after a certain level, his body would stay in a tired state at least for one hour. Or maybe it wouldn\'t be that troublesome since he had Vigor…
