After some time, Natalie began to spar with Alexander, a new member joined the group of misfits. It was Lily. That happened when Billy and Alexander started to experiment fighting with the stone sword, and Natalie also tried their stone staff. Until now, she avoided using any mind or weapon. The redhead people were as much tradition as Billy ’s tribe, after all. Still, in the end, her curiosity got the better of her.

”Let me try that too, ” Lily suddenly appeared and said.

Billy wondered what he should do. Lily probably wanted to spar with Natalie and then eventually become friends with her. He could see that in her eyes. However, letting those two use weapons that they were not used to might cause an accident.

”All right, just don ’t aim at each other ’s heads, ” Billy said while passing his staff to Lily.

Billy had already learned Swordsmanship when he imitated some of Natalie ’s moves, and he wanted to learn how to use a bow as well. Still, he would have to ask for some tips from Lily later. In any case, the girls started slowly since they didn ’t have any experience with those weapons. Still, once they got used to it, they began to attack each other relatively fast. When Billy used Appraisal, he confirmed that Lily also had a high strength… It was only natural after pulling the strings of bows hundreds of times every day.

Like they were copying each other, those two tried to hit their legs, but the staff collided and blocked each other. A low strike like that was easy to land, after all. They also tried to hit each other ’s ribs. Still, once again, the weapons collided against each other… the same thing happened so many times. Eventually, it became a contest about who was the strongest and who would land an attack first. While it was silly, they went and did that for quite a while… until their arms were hurting so much that they couldn ’t move.
