Chapter 42: The challenge

The group kept walking and entered the academy for the first time. They had been outside conducting their two exams, but now they had to go inside for the third one. They said it would be an intellectual exam so Ed thought it would be a paper test.

Soon enough, they had entered a big classroom that resembled college classes. The group was asked to take their seats and the people in charge started passing them paper. It was indeed a paper test.

After a while, Ed finally got his paper and sighed in relief. 'I can read it!' Ed was afraid he wouldn't be able to read the language. He had been using the prince's memories so far to be able to speak it but he never encountered a situation where he would have to read.

The test was divided into three parts. A simple elementary school problem solving, a history and a theory test. Ed could easily answer the first two parts. He didn't have to hold up on his knowledge since being sick wouldn't stop a person from studying.

In fact, the reason he's able to answer the history part was because the prince was very interested to learn history. As for the theory test, it was about magic theory, how it should be improved, its functioning and how to create new magic.

Ed unleashed all of his anime knowledge on this test and kept writing whatever he could remember, from KI manipulation for creating constructs like in DB, to NEN abilities and how everyone is different due to their imagination.

Ed felt satisfied answering the exam. He had to hold back his true power on the first two exams but this one allowed him total freedom. He was finished when not even half the time had passed so he kept looking around checking other people.

Emilia looked calm but he could see that her hands were shaking. Hayato on the hand seemed to be full of smiles but when he checked his paper he had only answered his history part and some theories on magic while he looked like the math problems broke his brain.

'I guess he didn't come from a different world after all…' Ed had suspected Hayato was a teleporter same as Ed after he had a Japanese name and Japanese features. But it could probably be an ancestor of his instead of him since he couldn't answer simple questions as these.

Time passed slowly for Ed as he was just waiting, so he kept checking the people that left an impression on him. He looked at the beast woman that had the highest score in the physical test and noticed she wrote some stuff about history but was clutching her head thanks to the math part. Ed chuckled a bit and she noticed him so he turned his face away immediately.

The Oni seemed like they didn't have any issues with it either, same with Norris who seemed to be doing okay. He answered almost everything and didn't look like he was struggling.

Time passed by for Ed and soon the test came to an end. It only lasted for one hour yet it seemed a lot more for him. After the papers were collected, an announcement came from the general.

"There will be a pause for correcting the papers, out staff will be done in about two hours. You are free to do whatever you want before the results are released" After speaking, the general left and the group of nobles went out of the academy. Most of them decided to go looking around the academy and Ed was one of them.

"Shall we go and check the academy?" Ed asked Emilia and Hayato. They could be considered his new friends in this academy so he decided to spend more time with them.

"Okay" "I would like that" Both of their answers were favorable and the three of them started their exploration.

"By the way, Ed I wanted to ask you something" Emilia looked at Ed and he could see curiosity in her eyes. "Where is Suika?"

After hearing her Ed's eyes showed a bit of warmth, it seemed like Emilia really like Suika so he wouldn't worry about her being hurt if he were to leave them to play someday.

"I didn't summon her since it would be too boring for her now. I'll get her to come out now" Ed summoned Suika in front of Hayato since it was normal for some people to contract monsters in this world.

"Suu~~!" Suika was as energetic as usual. She looked around and saw that Emilia was around so she jumped to her. She had become acquainted with her last and they both hit it off very well. Hayato on the side looked startled when he saw Suika, it seemed like he felt that shouldn't be messed around with.

"Did your color change, Suika?" Emilia seemed to notice the difference in Suika after her evolution and asked about it.

"Suu!" It seemed like Suika was telling her that she got stronger, Emilia felt this and smiled. Ed smiled too and chuckled in his mind since it was very rare to see Emilia smiling. 'A smile suits her better after all'.

Hayato soon snapped out of his daze and introduced himself to Suika who greeted him back. She seemed like she didn't mind him being there after all.

The four of them kept strolling around the academy grounds, now their group was attracting attention because of Suika. Soon enough someone approached them.

"You there! Fight me!" It was the beast woman from earlier and she was pointing at Ed while speaking.

Ed looked at her for one second and averted his gaze and started moving.

"Don't ignore me when I just challenged you!" The woman seemed pissed and got even more persistent. She was now right in front of Ed.

"Eh? You were talking to me?!" Ed acted as if he didn't know she was targeting him and feigned ignorance.

"Of course I'm talking to you! Who else is there in front of me?" Ed could see the veins on her head showing up.

"Oh I'm sorry but I can't fight you" Ed waved his hand and tried to move past her but she didn't let him.

"Why not? Don't you have your pride, you'll just walk away from a challenge." The woman didn't seem like she will let him go.

"I don't want to fight a war I can't win" Ed wasn't implying like he will lose against her, but there wasn't anything to gain by fighting her.

"Well, I'm not letting you leave until we fight" She took a stance and started her assault on Ed.

Chapter 43: The results

Ed looked back towards Emilia and Hayato in an attempt to get their help in escaping his predicament; however, he was greeted with Emilia standing on the side while holding Suika and Hayato who gave him a thumb up.

"Fight!" Hayato said while smiling. 'I'm going to have to give him a punch for that one' Ed secretly held a grudge against Hayato for encouraging the fight.

Ed turned his attention back to the beast woman who was about to hit him. Thankfully his Seikūken kicked in a fraction of a second before her attack hit him. He was able to react in time and guarded with his arm, however, he remembered that she had the greatest power in all of the new nobles, at least in case no one was hiding their true power like him.

Ed acted as if he was blown away by her punch and flipped back getting on his feet while clutching his arm that was hit.

"Can't we settle this peacefully? What did I ever do to you?" Ed was acting as if he was injured while asking for the reason why she was attacking him. It was never really clear what he did that made him suffer from her assault.

"You're acting as if you don't know!" She rushed again at him and started attacking. Ed didn't want to get hit too much so he started using his hand to deflect her attacks. He was only using one hand since his other arm was 'injured'.

"I really don't know what I did wrong!" Ed was confused on the real reason by this assault so he wanted to know. It wouldn't do to get an enemy without knowing the reason.

"You were laughing at me during the test earlier. And you even ranked better than me in the magic test even though you were dead last in the physical one!" It seemed like she held a grudge because of the chuckling Ed had done in the test earlier. 'You can't blame me for getting a zero during your exam, however' Ed could only shrug his head at what was happening.

"I only smiled earlier because I found your thinking face to be cute. I didn't try to offend you" Ed told her the truth, she had a pretty face and when she was holding her head and thinking made her very serious and cute.

"What do you mean cute?!" The girl was now red from embarrassment and glared at Ed while increasing her attacking rate. Instead of saving the situation, Ed only made things worst.

Ed was getting tired of being attacked one-sidedly so he activated his Ryūsui Seikūken this time and read her thoughts. He could predict where she would be attacking to a certain degree and baited her into making a punch at his face. He braced himself and took it head on, which caused him to fly to the back.

The girl looked like she didn't mean to attack him so badly and only stared at him for a while with her mouth closed. She extended her arm as if trying to reach him but as if remembering something, she got red and ran away.

"Looks like I can get up now" After noticing her leaving, Ed got up and was patting his clothes to get the dust off of him.

"Are you alright" Emilia and Hayato came forward now that the battle was over. "I'm okay, she wasn't being serious after all" Ed only had a tinge of red on his nose even after taking that hit.

"You looked like you were hit hard though" Emilia questioned Ed but he simply acted as if he heard nothing. It would be troublesome to explain everything.

"Let's continue exploring for a bit" The four of them continued their trip and checked the academy. The academy was a lot bigger than they had imagined. The classes were in a building and were divided into five classes; another building had the library which was also immense. The restaurant was in a different building as well and seemed to be around the size of a football stadium. It seemed like they had put a lot of thought into this academy's planning.

Another thing that they had checked was the dorms. They would be staying in this academy for an unknown period of time so they wanted to know where they would be staying. They made their way around until they got to the dorm. Every room was as big as a house and everyone had their own room, this pleased Ed since he wouldn't have to stop training in case he had a roommate. The rooms were divided into a bath, a kitchen, and the sleeping room. However, the most astonishing room was the training room which seemed like it stopped both sound and QI from being sensed from outside.

After checking the rooms Ed was satisfied overall, this academy wouldn't stop him from training his abilities and skills. The four of them were heading back to the entrance when Ed asked them.

"Are you guys hungry? I have some sandwiches on me" He offered some chicken lettuce and sandwiches, as he took them out of his Inventory. He didn't bother hiding it since it wasn't impossible to find.

"I'll humbly accept. Thank you" "Thanks" "Suu~~" All three of them accepted and started eating, about 15 minutes later they finished and made their way again to the field where they were at in the beginning.

After waiting there for a while, the general came back and announced for everyone to come to the field. Not even five minutes later, all 99 people were present. Only the king's daughter was missing.

"Now that everyone is here let me announce that the results have been decided. Follow me to know what you got" He turned back and they started following him. Soon enough they went inside a classroom and noticed that the king was there.

No one bothered to bow this time since they had already done all the formalities before and the king didn't seem to mind.

Everyone was now focused on the king waiting for him to make his speech or something. Ed also noticed that his daughter was now next to him.

"Everyone the results have come out. Check them out and we'll discuss things after" The king manipulated a large piece of paper with his QI and placed it on the blackboard. There were five classes each with 20 names under it. Everyone was checking their class now.
