I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 345 Unknown (4)

After tending his wounds, Billy went to grab some pills from the hideout of his magic cart and then give it to Svan. While his health will get full almost instantly, his broken bones would need a night to heal completely. Things got a bit awkward since Ilfa answered the door, and Svan was resting on his bed, with his sides bandaged… just like before. Marie was there with him, and just like before, they were drinking.

"Excuse me… I brought some medicine to your father," Billy said.

"Wounding someone and then offering medicine?" Ilfa said. "If you do that to anyone else in these lands, you will be picking a fight."

"Lucky me that your family is a bit more understanding than that," Billy said and then entered. "I suppose alcohol is good to decrease the pain, but if you decrease it too much, your body will think that you don't need to heal."

"We are getting old, Svan… the kid defeated us and is treating us like mummies already," Marie said.

"Well, to be honest… Since my ribcage is killing me, I accept the feelings," Svan said.

Svan was sweating quite a bit when he breathed, and he had a high tolerance against alcohol, so it was a sign that he needed help with the pain. Billy also added some painkiller effects to his pills, so he knew that Svan would be completely fine the next day. In any case, staying for too long there would be weird, so Billy tried to leave as soon as he gave the medicine.

"Hey, Billy," Svan said. "Since you defeated me, you have to win the tournament, no matter what, alright?"

"Let's forget about the no matter what part," Billy said.

"I am not going to say something motivating to someone who defeated me," Marie said. "However, if you show something lame the next few days, then I will definitely kick your ass the next time."

"I will keep that in mind," Billy said and then left.

Things back at the inn were quite silent since everyone wasn't aware of how they should act, knowing that Billy and Alexander were going to fight the next day. Unlike them, Billy and Alexander knew what to do.

"Let's have a good fight tomorrow, Billy," Alexander said.

"Hell no, I will kick your ass," Billy said.

"Come on, no need to be like that," Alexander said while forcing a smile.

"Yes, you are right… I will make sure that you won't lose too quickly," Billy said. "Jokes aside, let's not think too much about the results of a stupid tournament. The one standing, in the end, will be only a stupid guy who is good at throwing punches… a stupid and rich guy. I will take the place to conserve your dignity."

"Hah… you never take almost anything seriously," Alexander said and then sighed.

Alexander just decided to accept the joke since he had known Billy for over fifteen years. He knew when his best friend was just saying stupid things in order to make things relaxed for the next day of the fight. Billy also knew that Alexander wouldn't do his best if he got nervous, so something like that was necessary. Fortunately, the next rounds won't have a time limit, so both of them will have the chance to fight at their best without worrying about anything…

In any case, the group went to sleep early since the fights would start just one hour after breakfast. To make sure that his kids and Lara would be fine, Billy even made some umbrellas that emitted a cold wild now and then to make them feel comfortable. He wasn't using his mana much in the last few weeks aside from getting experience, so that was nothing.

Billy and Alexander would be the first fight of the day, so they headed to the ring when their numbers were called. Both of them looked relaxed, so their friends were waiting for a good fight… Unfortunately, it also means that they will end up getting a lot of hits.

"Who do you think it has better chances of winning?" Lily asked.

"While Billy doesn't slack off with his physical training, it is obvious that Alexander is stronger physically," Kate replied.

"He is slower, though," Lily said. "Billy also knows him well to use his mind games and get the upper hand in the fight."

"I suppose… Still, Alexander also has the advantage when it comes to stamina and endurance," Kate said. "If he decides to be patient, things might end up going in his favor."

"Patience, huh… Who could have thought that something that Billy was good at could be used against him?" Lily asked.

"There is also another factor here…" Lucy said. "Can they punch each other seriously? The one who manages to do that first will have the upper hand."

Everyone knew that those two were close, like brothers. So, it was hard to say how things would play out with that in mind.

As soon as he entered the ring, Billy's relaxed expression disappeared. He was in complete battle mode. He wasn't the type who fools around when it comes to fighting… Alexander raised his guard as well, but he didn't know how he should proceed… Billy used that chance to charge while using all the skills available on his hand, Fierce Aura, Stamina Manipulation, Rage… He charged so fast that few people in the Coliseum failed to see him moving. Alexander was one of those because he used the same skills when his senses alerted him. He blocked the punch just before it hit his stomach, but he still was pushed backward for several meters and the pressure made him feel some pain. He opened his eyes widely since he didn't expect that much weight and damage. He expected that Billy would hold back a little since he wasn't that cold, but it seemed that truly wasn't going to underestimate his best friend.
