I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

"That was hard to do… not to mention, I can't make the same blocks that you guys can. Controlling them for fighting is impossible as well," Marie said while she was having breakfast at Billy's party.

"You will become better the more you practice, and you will be able to do it more," Kate said.

"I see… by the way, I thought that you hated me. I don't feel that animosity anymore coming from you," Marie said.

"I don't have any reason to hate you anymore," Kate said.

"Is that so…" Marie frowned.

"I wonder why…" Alexander said while grinning.

That meek and annoying kid was becoming more and more annoying lately… Billy couldn't judge since he became an asshole for a while after getting laid for the first time. That famous boost of confidence… In any case, Billy ignored him and made everyone work as soon as the breakfast was over.

After the end of the first week, Billy and the others managed to cover half of the dungeon town, so it seemed that things would be finished on time. However, at that point, it was impossible to keep hiding the fact that the walls weren't that reliable yet. That being said, Pierre gave the order that one could leave the town for the next week, and he also put his most trustworthy guards to keep an eye on the ravens' master.

During that time, he didn't notice any movements of the enemies. So, Billy couldn't help but frown. Something smelled weird there. Billy wondered if the beastmasters still were mining the resources of their new dungeons and couldn't care less about some walls… speaking of resources, the monsters in the dungeon of that town were some bear-like creatures, and some of their hides could be used to craft clothes and some tools. They weren't that strong, so Billy never got curious about the dungeon.

After the end of the second week, Billy and his friends seemed what seemed impossible. The wall was far from impenetrable, but it was a wall and looked sturdy from a distance. Now, they just had to make it larger…

"I don't know how to thank you… to be honest, I never thought that this could be possible," Pierre said.

"Skip the sentimentalism. Things aren't over here," Marie said.

"Do you have any other goals for the time being?" Billy asked. "Any new orders from Jean?"

"Not yet, but I already sent the order for some workers to come and keep working on the walls," Pierre replied. "I suppose we can ask for the help of your friends to give us a hand for a while, can we?"

"Yes, you can," Sarah replied. "The walls are pretty basic, and since the enemies let us do this for so long, I can't imagine that they are coming to stop us any time soon. In the meanwhile, we should help as well."

Billy just said two weeks ago that he didn't want to use his powers like that, but in such conditions, he couldn't just stop and wait. At least he would be paid for it, he was eating Edish fruits for free, and his Earth Manipulation was leveling up like crazy. In any case, creating the inner layer of the walls would be faster since everyone's skills had increased and the area was smaller.

At that point in time, Billy realized that keeping the knowledge of their skills as a secret was counterproductive. The enemies might learn them and use those against them someday, but his people didn't have enough numbers to make use of those and help their allies. The knowledge had to be spread faster.

"All right, I think that we should work on the way to spread the knowledge of magic among our allies. What do you guys think?" Billy asked.

"Isn't that dangerous?" Kate asked. "What if that knowledge falls on the hands of our enemies?"

"It will take a while for them to learn the ins and outs. To avoid that, we can also count on Pierre's help," Billy said.

"You want me to select those that won't betray us and have a high chance that they aren't spies?" Pierre asked. "It will be relatively easy since the beast tamers are limiting the contact of the inhabitants of the former Toles state with us. They are afraid that they might learn about Rosalie's survival. Let's see, we can count on the new recruits for that, adventurers that rarely leave the area of their guilds and old members of the army."

"All right, can I leave that with you guys?" Billy asked while looking at Kate and Sarah. "I will keep working on the walls."

"All right," Kate said.

"Understood," Sarah nodded.

Billy had already spent some time teaching Pierre and Marie how to use magic and even Fierce Aura, so they could help those two spread the knowledge as well.

"What about us?" Natalie asked.

"You muscle heads will keep helping me," Billy replied.

"Hey…" Natalie protested.

Lily and Alexander were already used to hearing that, so they just nodded. For the next two weeks, Billy worked on reinforcing the walls, and over time a lot more people came to help him. Those were the students who learned faster Earth Manipulation. Thanks to that, he managed to start and finish half of the third layer of the walls. Once their job was done, the elementalists called by Sarah appeared, and they weren't alone. Jean came to check things by himself.

"It is a lot more impressive than I have heard," Jean said. "Pierre also told me you guys decided to teach my people magic, and a lot of them have learned. This isn't a favor that only money can pay."

"Any payment aside from arranged marriages will do," Billy said. "By the way, how are things in the former silverbreakers dungeon town?"

"I have heard that your father became the guild master there, but he soon passed the job to another. He said that he is too young to keep working behind a table," Jean replied.
