I Can Make Everything Level UP
chapter-559-30041322

When Billy got home, he was pretty worn out and wanted to sleep, but since he missed the lessons that he was supposed to give Christina and Hector that day, he found them sulking and a bit sad. That was right... it isn't the first time that he has disappointed them. At that rate, their respect for him will only keep falling... Just giving them gifts wouldn't solve anything. So, he decided to spend the next few days making up for it.

"What did you learn this time?" Kate asked.

"... I found three factions and their camps in the continent and they are building their strength now to conquer the whole continent," Billy replied. "I am guessing that they fought each other many times, but never had the chance to finish the other sides for good."

"I see, so you found the necromancer as well," Kate said. "What did you make of him?"

"I didn't see them per se, I only know that they exterminated all the monsters in their territory and put all of the tribes of the region under their leadership. The people there don't seen to be living difficult lives, but..."

"They only stole some relics without killing anyone, but they still are a criminal," Natalie said. "I don't know if the people of those states would go as far as to cross the ocean to look for them, but I wouldn't sell their pride short."

"What are you planning to do, Billy?" Sarah asked.

"I just want to observe for the time being before deciding the best course of action," Billy replied.

Billy didn't mention that a super cannon of energy got him by surprise, but it couldn't be helped since he didn't want to alert his wives or give them the idea to go to that continent with him.

"I need to come up with a way to keep my eyes on them even when I am not here in order to use a chance the very moment it shows up, any ideas?" Billy asked.

"You want to see a place without even being there?" Kate asked. "You are starting to sound ridiculous."

"You lack creativity, my dear," Billy said. "Mana and magic can do pretty much everything, we just need to think of the right way to control them."

"Magic isn't my forte to begin with, so I have no ideas," Natalie said.

"Lily can see pretty far away with one of her skills, can't you learn that one?" Sarah asked.

"Eagle Eyes are useful, but I need something even more potent than that," Billy replied.

"Is that what she calls the skill?" Sarah asked while frowning.

Although that was the case and it didn't solve the problem, at least it gave Billy one idea. In some cultures, it is said that people can communicate and sometimes even take the place of animals. They are called shamans or warts... If Billy could summon a familiar that could Teleport to his side when he calls them, he could make one that could have that kind of skill. That being said, he was the one who was supposed to have that kind of skill.

In any case, after spending the day with his family, Billy headed to his training arena at night to experiment with that. Naturally, he tried to summon some eagles that would have the power to take over the minds of other creatures, but that didn't work. He also tried numerous combinations with other monsters and animals, but nothing worked. Billy checked the skill list again, but he didn't find Clairvoyance.

"What now... Do I have to make a satellite? Really?" Billy thought after a long sigh.

Billy thought of summoning a monster that had Clairvoyance, but such a high-level skill wasn't possible for a creature that Billy could summon with his current mana level. He used all his reserves, after all. In any case, considering that one of the enemies could sense the approach of things that had mana, perhaps Billy truly had to make a satellite or at least a drone.

Billy had attempted before to make things using literally the technology from Earth, but they only worked when all of their functions and parts were completely in sync. Billy couldn't even make a simple old clock without relying on magic, in the end...

"It has been a while since I tried to learn something new, maybe it is about time for me to push my limits again," Billy thought.

Billy checked his skills and then confirmed that only Magic Eyes came close to what he needed, but that skill only worked to help him see the flow of mana when it was being used. It couldn't even show him the mana on the ambient in normal circumstances.

Once again, Billy tried to change that skill a little, but he didn't get any results. After thinking for a while, Billy wondered if he could add a recording function to his helmet. That way, he should be able to create a miniature of his armor and use it like a drone. His final goal was to make the images being sent over long distances, but he had to take baby steps.

As expected, Billy started to mess with the record box that he made for Icarus and Lucyna to use. He tried to make two of them, and make them connect and work from a distance, but it didn't work... The method that he used with his first communication device wouldn't do it either.

As usual, Billy's initial attempts ended in failure, but he made some progress when he had the idea of creating a pair of magic mirrors connected by magic. For some reason, it had been easy to connect them... Probably because they were originally one. In any case, Billy made them with the idea of making them show what the other was showing when they were infused with mana. That eventually worked when Billy used Mana Constructs to make them. It was a pity since even though it worked, it had a time limit of use. Fortunately, it was made using that skill, Billy also could change one of the mirrors... And he eventually turned one side into a lens.
