" System use five Gacha tickets on weapons and 5 on Function gacha " Ed had decided on what to draw and instructed the system.
[Drawing…Please wait]
*Ding*
Acquired Swordx2, Kunai, Shusui, Ame-No-Murakumo, Upgrade cardx5.
When Ed read the results, he was ecstatic. He now had all of the cards he had wanted to increase his strength even further. Ed inspected the two Katana he got and found out they were both of Legendary quality. Ed had never gotten any weapon worth mentioning from the Gacha but now he got two of them. And they were both Katana which he uses.
Shusui was a black katana with a white hardening line while its hilt was black with no accessories, Shusui didn't have any elemental attributes but it could amplify the power of any skills used by many folds.
Ame-No-Murakumo, on the other hand, was a greenish Katana which had the wind element infused in it. It had a forked tip which Ed thought he should change to make it into a more traditional Katana. It was plucked from the tails of a great dragon and its hilt forged from its bones.
Ed now had four Katana and only needed two of them or three after he was done today.
"System how many cards needed to upgrade Two-sword style?!" Ed planned his next steps accordingly to his Gacha rewards.
[The Two-sword style is an Epic skill so it needs two Upgrade cards to be upgraded even further] The system quickly gave its answer and Ed decided to use the two cards.
*Ding*
Two-sword style upgraded to Three-sword style.
Ed was now immersed in the new knowledge he had gotten from his upgraded sword skill. His understanding of the sword way improved even further and it could be said that he now had a newfound communication with the sword. It could be said that he can feel the life of the sword he had now.
"Suika, Raikou, I'm sorry but I will be requiring your help. We'll delay out sleep for a while" Ed asked his companions to follow him to the training room. When he got there he asked Suika to stay outside for a bit.
"Suika I'll be locking this room and charging my KI to the max, tell me if you can feel anything from the outside" Ed was still worried that other people might feel his KI as he didn't have full trust in this room yet.
"Suu~~!" Suika complied and waited outside.
Ed went in the room with Raikou and powered up to the max. He also asked Raikou to do the same since he was stronger than him and he wanted to test the limits of this room. Ed had trained enough with KI that now he had an aura around him when he powers up, this also allowed him to break the common sense of this world as he had an amount of QI that far surpasses his cultivation level.
After a dozen or so of seconds Ed opened the room and asked Suika for her report.
"Suu~~!" Suika had given her approval of the room so now Ed could go ahead with his plans with no worries.
Ed took out his blacksmithing materials and ignited his Fire magic. He also took out his Murata-Tou and Murasame. He was planning to re-forge these two Katana into an even stronger one.
Ed used the two blades and a base for the new one and heated them to the melting point. After that he also used some Firestones and crushed them into a powder, mixing it with the katana base while he was using fire magic on it as well. He had planned to use his space magic, but as it was too under leveled he decided against it.
To complete the Katana process, Ed kept folding and refolding the Katana many times to get rid of the impurities and resize it accordingly. He also kept infusing the blade with KI making it stronger and a lot sharper than before.
It took Ed five hours to finish his process and when he was done he heard a notification sound.
*Ding*
Crafted legendary weapon.
Acquired Limited summoning card.
"What is this about system?" Ed was over the clouds now. All three of his Katana were legendary. But he still needed to know about the reward.
[The reward is given as a result of your achievement. The Limited summoning card allows you to summon something of your choosing for an hour. It is limited to monster, weapon and armor Gacha only] Ed was now even happier. 'Doesn't that mean I can save my life when the time comes?!' The card held so many possibilities that Ed was overjoyed.
"This new Katana, I'll name it Muramasa!" The new Katana Ed had crafted was red in color and would attract the attention of anyone who saw it. Before Ed finished and gathered his materials, he reforged the tip of the Ame-No-Murakumo and stored it.
He also looked into his items Inventory and noticed his unused monster cards.
"System I never asked you but how many monsters can I summon" Ed wondered if there any limit on the monster summoning.
[Due to host's current strength the maximum number you can summon is three. However, this does not include Raikou as he is a contracted monster and not a Gacha monster] the system explained even more of its functions to Ed.
"Suika, I'll be recalling you for now. You can get some rest, you too Raikou." Suika and Raikou had accompanied Ed through the night and it was now time for them to get some rest.
"Suuuu" Suika let out a yawn and was recalled while Raikou headed to the tent to sleep. Ed crushed two Goblin cards and the Kobold card. The two goblins were identical and they were both very short, only reaching up to Ed's waist. The Kobold, on the other hand, was about as tall as Ed and looked like a human with a wolf's head, plus all the fur on its body.
"Now then, I'll be naming you Gobuta, Goburou, and Garu" Ed remembered some strong goblins of some novels he had read before and used them accordingly. As for the Kobold, he used a certain ice wolf's name as a base for it.
The three kept looking at Ed in awe as if they had met their parent for the first time. And suddenly, they broke into a smile.
"System use an upgrade card on each one of them" Ed planned to end his night by evolving his new monsters.
Seventh! Enjoy!
[Using Upgrade cardx3 please wait]
*Ding*
Goblin Upgraded into Hobgoblin.
Goblin Upgraded into Hobgoblin.
Kobold Upgraded into High kobold.
The three monsters each had a sphere of light surround them. After emerging from it all of them changed drastically. The two goblins both had grown double their size. They were about a head shorter than Ed and their green color was now darker. The Kobold was now larger than standing at about 2 meters; his previous brown was now a shade of silver.
"System if I were to give them weapons, would they always have it when I summon them?" Ed had some things to confirm with the system.
[Yes they would count as being a part of the monster and stay with them even in their card form]
'Great!' Ed crushed some of the sword cards that he never used and gave one to each of the monsters.
"I'll be going to rest for now; I'll also recall you guys. Tomorrow we'll be training for a while so be ready" Ed recalled the three after they nodded confirming their understanding. He then summoned Suika and the two went to sleep.
Ed had formulated his plans for tomorrow but he would first have to pass a day in the academy. There were too many distractions but he had to stay here for a while at least before leaving.
Ed didn't sleep much as it was already late by the time he went to bed. However, he was used to a disturbed sleep schedule so it didn't affect him a lot.
In the morning, Ed woke up and washed his face. He also got Raikou and Suika to wake up and asked them what they wanted to do. Suika wanted to come with him while Raikou preferred to stay and sleep. It was understandable since he had nothing to do in the academy anyway and it would be too boring for him.
"I'll leave you some food over here" Ed got some food out and left it for Raikou since he wouldn't have anything to eat anyway.
Afterward, Ed left and headed to the academy. He met up with Hayato and Emilia on the way and they all started walking to the class. Suika and Emilia played on the road and passed the time walking that way while Ed and Hayato simply watched over them.
In a couple of minutes, they got to their class and entered, they sat in seats close to each other and Ed got the seat next to the window. 'It's like I'm the main character' Ed remembered the usual Cliché of anime and how the MCS always sit next to the window.
After speaking for a while the teacher came and entered the room, immediately he noticed Suika and stared for a while before turning his attention back to the students. He had black hair and looked like lacked sleep as he had black circles under his eyes. He also seemed to be young at around 28 years old.
"Welcome class. I'll be teaching you for this whole year but I don't care if we get along or not. I hope you won't bother me and I won't bother you either. If you have any questions don't ask them since it'll be troublesome" The teacher kept speaking and every time he finished a sentence people's faces turned sour even more. Only Ed found this teacher to be amusing and had a smile on his face.
"By the way my name is Harry. You can call me teacher, professor or anything as I don't care" Harry just told them he wouldn't want them asking any questions but gave them his name and titles in case they wanted to ask him something. This sent people's head into a swirl of confusion.
Harry started the first lesson and was talking about the theory of QI and its origin. This lasted for about an hour before they moved to their next lesson. The next lesson was about the use of QI and how its conversion to magic is done, everyone was confused by what was happening in the class since the teacher never repeated what he said and he kept talking about high-level concepts. Even Ed had a bit of difficulty keeping up with him.
After the second lesson was done, it was lunchtime so they exited the class and headed to the restaurant to eat. They got there in no time and ordered some food. Emilia ordered some sandwiches while Hayato ordered a noodle based dish that seemed like Ramen. Ed was surprised to see such a dish in this world and ordered it as well. He was a fan of instant noodles and got to enjoy real ramen from time to time, his first authentic ramen experience happened during his trip to Japan.
After getting their food, they headed to an empty table and sat there. Ed didn't forget about Suika and got her the same sandwiches that Emilia got. Those seemed to be one of her favorites so she enjoyed eating them. Suika was now eating by extending her body and shaping it like an arm and then eating it. The actions were very cute and attracted a lot of the females attention, they seemed to like cute round things and Suika who could move just added more charm to herself. Ed even caught the beast woman who attacked him staring at her and smiled. When she saw him she became red and turned her head away.
While they were enjoying they suddenly heard an annoying voice calling out to them which made the food instantly taste bad.
"It seems like the group of failures like to hang out together" It was Norris who seemed to be free. Ed thought that if he didn't exist his life in the academy would be much simpler, but as things were progressing the two would clash at one point.
"Leave us alone" It was Emilia would speak this time as she seemed to be annoyed by his constant harassment.
"Oh it seems like leeches now know how to talk back" Norris didn't waste time and insulted her once more.
"It would be great if you could just move on" Hayato spoke to him but Norris just ignored him and switched his attention to Ed.
"As for you, failure of the Avalon kingdom. I don't know how you got stronger in this last period of time but it would do you better to watch yourself" Norris seemed to know about Ed's condition as it was not exactly a secret of Avalon, and threatened him. However, what he said next enraged Ed in a way he didn't expect before.
"It would do you better to watch out for your little pet's life as well" Norris spoke and reached with his hand towards Suika. Ed immediately reacted and caught his hand while shouting.
"I'd like to see you TRY!" Ed's shout made everyone stop in their tracks.
Eighth! Enjoy!
