Chapter 50: The battle begins

Ed's opponent was a man with blond hair as well. He held a sword in his hand and looked ready to fight. Ed remembered him since it looked to him that he wasn't taking the tests seriously either.

"You're Edward, right? I saw that you got into a fight with that Norris, man I'm glad someone showed him his place, he's so stuck up that he annoys people with his presence hahaha" The man started laughing and looked like an amusing guy, starting a conversation with someone he was about to fight.

"Since you know my name it would be rude of me not to ask for yours" Ed didn't seem to mind his opponent's laughing and simply asked his name.

"My name is Leon I'm from Avalez kingdom" The man introduced himself and assumed a stance with his sword.

"Nice to meet you, Leon, I hope you take it easy on me" Ed showed a smile that he didn't mean and used a normal sword instead of his legendary ones.

"I would like to ask of you not to take it 'easy' on me Ed. I saw that you overpowered that Norris with a single strike; everyone in the academy could easily guess you were hiding your powers in the test. It's meaningless to try and fool me with cheap sword skills" Leon had given Ed some news that he didn't want to hear, his act of laying low had been found out in 2 days in the academy.

'Then I wouldn't have needed to lay low either' Ed was now regretting his choices since it was harder to hold his powers back more than he thought.

He wanted to hide his sudden power up in the last month since he left his home since it was too fast by this world's standard; he had achieved King Establishment in that period of time which most people needed years to accomplish. Now it would harder to explain himself since he was found out.

"By the by, how did you hide your cultivation?" Leon had asked the question Ed didn't want to hear about right away.

"I used a relic that I got from my father" Ed lied without wasting a second and even involved his father in his lie.

"I see…Let us fight anyway" Leon didn't seem to believe him and simply asked for the fight to start. Ed followed suit and withdrew his Ame-No-Murakumo and Muramasa and took a stance with them. He didn't use Susui since there was no need. Leon could feel that Ed got serious and was feeling pressure from his two swords so he got serious.

In another location, near Ed's flag, a person was climbing up from a hole in the ground. It was a man from Leon's team and he was covered in dirt.

"This is just awful, who would put these in this place?!" The man looked around as if searching for other traps. Seeing nothing he just gathered some power in his palm and striked the ground."Seismic strike!" The power he showed was beyond everyone's expectations since he sent shockwaves around the area, causing even the earth walls to shake.

Hayato who was standing from far away could see that this man was too much for Stephanie alone so he decided to come out of his hiding and fight alongside her. When the man saw him he seemed mad and started speaking fast.

"Were you the one who did this? Why would you do it? Now all my clothes are dirty, how can I wash them now?!" If Ed was here he would have remembered his mother's rapid questions.

"I wasn't the one who made them, but it was my teammate so it might as well count as me" Hayato gave him an answer and assumed a fighting position.

He was fighting barehanded since his opponent was as well. "Stephanie in case you get a chance try to trap him inside your earth traps and we'll keep him there until this finishes." Hayato gave her some secret direction since it would be faster that way. The man didn't seem to hear them since he was focused on the stains on his clothes.

Hayato and the man started fighting and immediately injured one another. They had both taken a hit to the face and staggered backward. Hayato recovered first and hit the man to the face with a kick; however, he withstood it and countered with a punch to the face. Hayato reacted fast enough and dodged with a jump to the back. The man had a wide missed punch and lost his balance which caused Hayato to rush in at him, jabbing him twice in the face.

Hayato seemed to be using a martial art from this world which was concise and without any wasted movements, different from the man's who needed to hit to do heavy damage without any regard to the opponent's style or movement speed. The fight continued this way for a while until it seemed like the man was falling forward.

Seeing this Hayato thought that he was fainting so he stopped but it was a mistake since the man jumped forward and caught Hayato's collar with his left hand.

"You can't run this time!" The man flexed his arm and withdrew it to his side with his fingers pointing downwards. "Seismic palm!" Suddenly he rotated his hand and struck Hayato stomach causing him to spew out blood. He was feeling a lot of pain and was about to fall down when Stephanie caused the earth under the man to open up and both of them fell down.

"G-Good job Stephanie!" Although Hayato was in a lot of pain he still bore with it and complimented her. She then caused some of the earth to surround the man and bind him allowing Hayato to escape.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you since I thought he was falling down!" Stephanie looked like she was feeling regret not being able to help Hayato and causing him to be injured, however, it wasn't her fault at all so Hayato didn't mind and thanked for her timely assistance instead. The two had to create some new pitfalls while having to listen to the man's objections.

"Let me out of here! My clothes are getting dirty, it's hard to breathe! Hey!" He didn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

At another location, Ellie was currently being bombarded with magic from far away.

In case of any mistakes please point them out.

Chapter 51: The battles

'Tch this is turning out exactly as Edward said…' Ellie was under heavy attacks from her enemy. It was a girl with orange hair who seemed to be proficient at using fire magic. Ellie was able to dodge her attacks thanks to her physical abilities and kinetic vision, allowing her to read the attacks that are coming her way. However, this turned out to be a battle of attritions and whoever gets tired first would lose.

The girl from C class noticed the same thing and switched her strategy. She was using fire arrows mainly but now decided to switch to the fireball that explodes and create an AOE effect. This caused Ellie's dodging to lose some of its effects and was now getting caught by some of the fire blasts, if not for her strong physique she would have been burned heavily by now.

'This can't go on like this' Ellie knew she would be the one to get tired first if this continues. The opponent seemed to have a decent amount of QI and could use different fire abilities. Ellie decided to follow some of Ed's pointers and started running towards the trees and using them as a cover. This gave her some leeway while dodging the fireballs while executing her next step.

Ellie was secretly charging QI in her fists while moving fast around her opponent. It didn't take her long to reach the amount she needed and suddenly stopped as if she was tired. Her opponent noticed this but still didn't move close to her; rather she just charged an extra big fireball and sent it flying at Ellie. The latter used this chance to jump to the side and sprint at full power while the fireball detonated behind her.

"So you were acting after all!" The girl's caution saved her, but not for long. "You can run back but it won't help you. You're not my target after all; I just need to be close enough!" Ellie was about five meters away from her opponent and smashed the ground with her QI infused fists. A cracking line kept forming ahead of Ellie and almost got her opponent to fall, but the latter seemed to use her entire strength to jump up and dodge it.

"That's right, only the sky is left now!" Ellie jumped after her as she predicted her actions. She hit her stomach with another QI infused fist causing her opponent to faint immediately. She made sure to hold back enough just to make her lose consciousness and not fatally injure her.

"Phew, I'm done here! I wonder how the rest are doing" Ellie wiped the sweat off her face and moved forward to continue her search of the flag. Her opponent wouldn't be waking up any time soon.

In another location, Ed and Leon were now in a heated fight inside the forest. "Hahahhaha! I knew you were not a pushover" Leon seemed excited while fighting Ed. The same could be said for Ed as it's been a while since his last good spar with someone.

"The same could be said for you!" Ed and Leon were exchanging sword blows at a stunning speed. Although Ed was not using all his strength, Leon could still hold his own even while using one sword. Many trees surrounding them have already been cut down which made them move while fighting to secure stable footing.

Ed was only swinging his sword without using any of his abilities; however, he noticed that the fight would take too long in this case and activated his Seikūken. This gave him a boost in his fighting power, so much that Leon started feeling the pressure coming out of Ed.

"Seems like you're getting serious…Allow me to do the same!" Leon seemed as if he grew in size after he spoke and Ed could feel his QI getting larger. 'Is this a cultivation technique' Ed backed away for a bit and checked out Leon's situation.

"This is out Herculean strength technique from our sect, it allows me to raise my QI and physical abilities for a limited amount of time" Leon started explaining his technique out of nowhere.

"Why are you telling me this?" Ed couldn't help but ask him.

"I just felt like it!" Leon's character was way too easygoing. "If you survive long enough for this technique to end you might beat me"

"Too bad, I plan on beating you now!" The two suddenly engaged in a heated battle once more. Every time their blades crossed a shockwave would spread for a few hundreds of meters. If Ed had not practiced his KI control for so long he probably would have been thrown away many times already.

"Hahahahha! Let's fight some more Ed!" Leon seemed excited beyond belief and even forgot that this was a mock-battle, and focused solely on beating Ed.

Ed was also extremely focused and even activated his Ryūsui Seikūken. This allowed to completely read Leon's movements as long as they had eye contact. Leon didn't know how Ed could read him so well that he got flustered at one point and slashed blindly. Ed capitalized on this chance and used Space magic's short teleport.

"Sorry, I'm being a little cheap right now!" Ed teleported behind Leon and before the other one could react; Ed had already executed his move.

"Fire blade cyclone!" Ed's two swords were covered with their respective magic type and pointed his swords up while rotating at a high speed. A huge cyclone was created and enveloped Leon's body. This cyclone had a combination of fire and wind magic which caused it to cut and burn at the same time.

Ed didn't want to badly injure Leon so he held back enough. After the attack was done Leon's body simply hit the ground and he laid there.

"What a powerful technique…Teach me some other time alright" Leon didn't seem to be annoyed at his lost and even seemed to respect Ed enough to ask for his teachings.

"By the way, my country is known for its delicious food. Make sure to visit someday and I'll have some people show you around if I'm not available" Leon invited Ed to visit his country after fighting him. Ed could only smile wryly at his free spirit.

"Sure you can choose the time" Ed accepted and sat down as well, he had used a couple of his skills and got a little tired.
