Chapter 298 Tears (2)
After the boring talk, even more, boring talk came. Splitting up the territories wouldn\'t be enough since many states had issues to solve with the Toles, Neles, and Kriesal state after their recent actions. As such, Jean proposed an alliance between them. Commercial and military, they would be able to freely trade between them, and if something happens, they will raise arms and help each other.
Once everything was announced to the population, most people thought that it was just a bunch of lies. When shits hit the fan, the weaker ones paid the price for it. That was true even in that world. However, the leaders of the states didn\'t have time to worry about convincing the population of their sincerity. Time will do that for them.
"We are going to walk around a bit with Aura and Rosalie. What are you going to do, Billy?" Kate asked.
"I am going to rest," Billy replied.
"Even though there is a dungeon here? How weird…" Kate said.
"I have been working nonstop for a while. I will take a few days off," Billy said.
"I think you deserve a few weeks off, anyway. See you later," Kate said.
Billy didn\'t have much to test his new powers since he focused on sleeping as much as possible to recover, but he finally had the chance to do so. He immediately tried to levitate, and he managed to do that with ease. After some experiments, he learned that he needed one point of mana to levitate for fifteen seconds. It was probably because of his rings that he could do that for so long. Without them, he could only levitate for five seconds with the same amount. As for Mind Control…
"I suppose I can test it on monsters, but it will be suspicious if I use them openly," Billy thought.
In the last few days, Billy learned that instead of using magic or magic tools, the people of Neles state had a story of taming monsters. However, they used their own old techniques, but Jeannette decided to improve that since the success rate was low and it took too much time. In any case, it might not be a bad idea to use them to guard his tunnels or move them to attack his enemies if something happens… He had no idea if they could live without the mana of the dungeon cores, though. They probably could, but then he would have to feed them.
Aside from the ways Jeannette used her powers in battle, Billy wondered how else he could apply the Telekinesis. However, not many ideas came to mind. At least not the simple ones. The craziest thing that appeared in Billy\'s head was blocking sunlight and then suddenly letting all the energy of a single spot fall on his target… That would be a pretty nasty way for them to die.
While Billy didn\'t have to level up the skill, he noticed his magic also determined the power of Telekinesis. The same thing probably also applied to Mind control.

"I thought that I had gotten quite stronger while fighting in the dungeon, but while my level increased, it was a small progress," Billy thought. "Jeannette caused me so much trouble, even though she was twenty levels below me… And she thought that her magic wasn\'t suited for combat. While mine can help, they don\'t help directly in a battle."
Billy hoped that he wouldn\'t find other people like him, but in the end, it would be stupid for those who received a second chance and powers for them not to use them. So, they would stand out and eventually recognize Billy\'s progress as one of them. His earth magic helped a little in the last fight, but it seemed that just making the tunnels couldn\'t work as good magic training. Billy would have to try something else while he improves his skills…
In the end, over the next few days, the leaders of the states moved around and greeted the important folks of the capital. At some point, they would visit other cities and towns to make sure that no problems would arise while the people get used to how things will be from now on. Once that was done, Billy drove his magic cart back home. He had promised that he would visit Svan\'s state at some point in the future, so it seemed that things wouldn\'t be as calm as before with all the traveling.
Regardless, On the way back, they stopped at the capital of the Toles state, and then Rosalie and Gilles left the vehicle. Billy wasn\'t much close to Rosalie, but Kate was pretty close to her, to the point where they shed some tears when they were saying goodbye. As for Gilles, he left while bowing quite a bit toward Billy.
It was quite weird to cross three states in a single night, so the others wondered if they weren\'t dreaming when they were back at the capital of Hiloh state. Once Billy began to relax on his bed, he finally felt that he had accomplished his mission…
