Chapter 52: The winner

After recovering some of his KI, Ed made his way to the flag. Along the way, he met up with Ellie who looked a bit injured albeit nothing too serious.

"It looks like you won your fight as well" Ellie didn't look surprised at all. It seems like she could guess how strong Ed really is after his fight with Norris.

"It looks like it was the same for you. I guess it was an easy fight" Ed wanted to humor Ellie a little and praised her.

"Of course it was!" Ed couldn't help but smile at her response. The both of them continued their way to reach the flag. A little while later they spotted it with a man standing next to it.

"There might be someone else standing watch near the flag so one of us should attack while the other waits. In case no one appears we can both advance" Ed laid out another plan that seemed logical.

Although Emilia not being here could mean she was fighting someone, Ed didn't dismiss the fact that she just couldn't find the flag. Another theory was that no one made their way to their flag.

"I'll be going first and you could follow me afterward" Ed decided that he would move first since he was not injured at all and could use some ranged attacks.

"Alright, but I'll be going for the flag even if you were losing" Ellie accepted while smashing her fists together indicating her fighting spirit.

Ed moved first and rushed at his opponent from his blind spot. He wasn't increasing his speed by his movement skill but only using the stealth effect. However before he could reach the flag, his opponent reacted and drew his sword while turning towards Ed. The two of them engaged in a close ranged battle since the man seemed to lose the advantage he had after being ambushed

On Ed's team' side, Hayato was now engaged in a ranged fight with a girl from C class. It was the last missing person from their team. Although Hayato was injured, he had Stephanie's support which acted as his shield and thanks to his overall abilities, he was more than enough to stall the opponent. However, that was all he could do, stall. If this was to continue for a while he would definitely lose.

His fight lasted for a while before he started losing his QI and breath. Stephanie was about to eat through her QI reserve after using magic for so long.

"It seems it's time to end this" The girl seemed to sense them weakening and decided move closer and finish them off. Hayato saw this and braced himself; he would protect the flag at all costs. He believed Ed would win in case he reached the flag so he would buy as much time as possible.

However before the girl could get to them, someone rushed in from the forest and attacked her. It was Emilia who was missing up till now.

"It seems like it was the right decision to get back!" Emilia brought out a rapier and started fighting the girl. The latter also used her sword and the two of them started fighting. Emilia seemed highly skilled in swordsmanship as her thrusts were sharp and fast. The girl used her all in order to follow the attack patterns.

After fighting for a while, Emilia started using magic as well and burned the right hand of her opponent. This caused her to lose her grip on the sword and eventually give up. At first, she wanted to engage in a ranged magic fight, but she had used a lot of magic while fighting Hayato and Stephanie while her opponent seemed unharmed. This meant that Emilia did not fight at all and was in top shape.

"You okay Hayato? Stephanie?" Emilia turned back to check up on her teammates.

"I'm good"

"I'm alright thanks!" Hayato replied naturally while Stephanie seemed as nervous as always.

Back at Ed's place, he was now overwhelming his opponent with his sword skills alone. His opponent could use earth as well as wind magic but that meant nothing for Ed. He was now proficient enough to dodge and slash with no time in between. His eyesight had also improved enough to have an overview of the battlefield. The reason Ed didn't finish his opponent off was to draw out his enemy in case one was hiding.

However, after not appearing for so long, Ed simply decided to end the fight now. "Ellie!" He called out to his teammate while using fire magic to surround his enemy. There was no reason to finish him off since getting the flag means the game's end.

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Ellie rushed out and grabbed the flag in less than 2 seconds after Ed's shout. As soon as they got the flag a siren sounded off to mark the end of the mack-battle.

Ed stopped his magic and his opponent got out with a wry smile on his face. "If you're this strong why bother hide your strength and go to E class" He couldn't help but ask Ed this question.

"It's simply more fun this way, don't you think?" Ed only told him this before making his way back to the rest of his team. Along the way, he met up with Leon and gave him some of the pills he had concocted. He didn't give him the potions but this was still enough to heal most of his minor injuries. They also met up with the girl that fought Ellie and Leon put her on his back. Soon enough they were at Ed's team's area and Leon took back his two teammates while heading off back to C class.

"Are you okay Hayato?" Ed noticed that Hayato had been injured while Emilia and Stephanie looked fine.

"I'm alright. I just let my guard down. Good job making us win." Hayato was scratching his face while smiling.

"It was a team effort! Take these" Ed also gave Hayato some pills which were a bit stronger than the ones he gave Leon. Hayato instantly felt better and thanked Ed.

The team returned back to the monitor room and the rest of the class was overjoyed.

"Great job out there!" "Good job winning" "Not everyone from our class lost!" Most of the class was glad that Ed's team won. However, some proud nobles didn't admit that Ed's team was better than them.

"Yes yes, good job. Now let us talk about your rewards" Harry intervened in time to stop the class's noise and started talking about the rewards he had mentioned before.

Hello everyone! Ed's team won! I guess it wasn't a surprise hehehehe! I hope you enjoy the chapter and leave a comment if you notice a mistake.

Chapter 53: The library

"Each one of you will be given 500 gold by the academy. And since you defeated a C class team, you'll have access that C class students have in the library that will open up tomorrow." Harry gave them a simple overview of the rewards they had gotten from their win. They also understood that the library would have levels that each class can have access to. Ed decided this would be a good chance to increase his knowledge of the world.

"That'll be all for today. We'll meet tomorrow." Harry told them as he was leaving the room. Ed and his friends also exited and headed to the infirmary. Although Ed's pills did most of the work, they still wanted for Hayato and Ellie to check in and have their injuries examined. It took them about an hour and all five headed to the restaurant.

"Over here, Ed!" Ed turned his head around to check who was calling for him. Although it was obvious since no one was acquainted with him except for a few people and most of them were next to him.

"Let's eat together" Leon was sitting next to one of his teammates while waiting for his food.

"Sure" Ed had no reason to refuse. The same was for his teammates. Everyone introduced themselves while waiting for the food. "My name is Liza, nice to meet you" Leon's teammate introduced herself and they started having some small talk.

"Are your injuries alright Leon?" Ed had to ask about Leon's condition since he was the one who did the damage.

"Of course! That's nothing" Leon seemed healthy as if nothing had happened to him. "By the way, won't you train with me sometime? I feel like I'll improve a lot by fighting you regularly" Leon's eyes looked as if they were shining. Ed had a bad feeling as if accepting would result in a long time of hardships.

"Maybe someday hahaha" Ed could only shrug him off while promising him.

"Don't forget you'll still have to fight me" Ellie interjected at that moment and reminded Ed that she wanted to fight him at his best.

"Ahahahaha" Ed couldn't help but let out a weird laugh. Everyone wanted to fight him after this morning.

The lunch finished and everyone headed out to their rooms since they had no classes today. Ed immediately ate again with Raikou and headed inside his training room. He summoned his three monsters and trained them again for a while with swords. They lasted a lot longer and were stronger as well. It seemed like their ability to improve was great since they had evolved.

Ed was fighting while using his Sharingan this time. He hadn't used this skill in while since it put quite a burden on his body and the enemies weren't strong enough to need it. He wanted to see how long he can last while using his skills without holding back. The three monsters couldn't handle him in that state so he recalled them and summoned Suika. Raikou and Suika both started fighting Ed at his request. In his state, Ed could handle both of them for about one hour fighting at his best before he lost all his KI.

'Seems like I'm going to have to make some hunting trips soon' Ed hadn't hunted since coming to the academy. Unlike other students, he didn't cultivate so unless he killed monsters, he wasn't going to get stronger.

Ed had spent a couple of hours training with his monsters and recovering his KI. Afterward, he headed out to get something to eat after taking a bath. He left Raikou behind and headed out with Suika.

The dinner had no issues as he ate with the same people that he had lunch with this morning.

"By the way Ed, why did you hide your powers in the tests?" Hayato asked Ed as if wanting to confirm something.

"Eh, how did you know? Did Leon tell you?" Ed was a bit surprised since Hayato never asked such questions.

"No, I saw your fight earlier in the monitor room. You can check it out later if you want" Hayato told Ed some information he didn't know about.

"No need. Well, there isn't a reason, besides almost everyone didn't use their full power. Including you guys. I just used less than most people" Ed shot some questioning eyes at Hayato, Emilia, and Leon. They turned their heads away as if avoiding his questions. Ellie was busy playing with Suika so she didn't care about them. At first, Suika didn't want to play with her since she remembered that she attacked Ed. However, Ed told her it was just a misunderstanding and she warmed up to her after a while.

After eating; Ed returned to his room and got some food for Raikou. After eating and doing some maintenance on his swords, Ed went to sleep.

In the morning, Ed headed out to class with Suika and hoped there would be no mock-battle today. Fortunately, he found out that mock-battles happen once a week with random classes. Ed finished his classes and headed to the library that he was told about.

There he found out that most of the books that were there were about monsters and their abilities. However C class could only check up to Earth Establishment monsters. To be able to read about stronger monsters, Ed would have to get B or A class's rights to the library.

'I guess this is what I get for laying low' Ed smiled wryly since now he had no choice but to challenge and beat A class with his teammates.

After studying for a couple of hours, Ed left the library and ate at the restaurant again. He returned to his room and trained with his monsters again. He repeated this process until it was the last two days of the week. He now had no classes and could get go hunt freely. Ed decided to get back to the capital to check up on some stuff, and then he would hunt monsters for the remaining time before the week starts again.
