"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.
Hello everyone! Hope you enjoy the chapter, in case of any mistakes mention them in the comments and i'll fix them asap.
Ed made his way to the teleport area where he came from last time. In there, he found out a dozen other students who were thinking about heading to the capital as well. Ed had asked his acquaintances if they would be heading to the capital today, however, most of them decided to stay at school. Some would head the next day.
After waiting for a couple of minutes, Ed finally had his turn and used the teleport circle. Suddenly the scenery in front of him changed and he was in front of the royal castle. The guard reminded Ed that they wouldn't be working after sunset. He didn't know that Ed didn't plan on heading back for the day.
Ed activated his Map while exiting the castle grounds and checked up on the capital. He saw some red dots on the map which caused him to worry. However, he remembered that Norris considers him as an enemy now so it should be him and his followers since he was heading to the capital today as well. Ed forgot about him and checked the map for his friends. Soon enough, he found that a couple of green dots were together near the slums and Ed knew that was his destination.
It didn't take Ed a long time to reach his destination. When he got there someone noticed him and turned their heads in worry. However, after confirming his person, their face showed a bright smile.
"Mister Ed!!" It was Eri and the other orphans that Ed had met up with when he came to the capital. He had given them quite the generous sum of money last time but still decided to check up on them once more.
"How have you been doing?" Ed was also smiling as the children all surrounded him. Suika also got down and started jumping up and down.
"We've been doing well! All thanks to you Mister Ed!" All the children seemed like they had enough to eat since last time they saw him.
"Did anybody try to steal your money?" Ed was concerned about their well being since most people would consider 100 gold coins a good sum of money in the slums.
"There were some people who noticed we had money and tried to hurt us. However, the old ladies and old men of the slums helped us out and chased them away. They didn't accept money from us when we tried to give them" Eri seemed to know that helping people was a good thing so she tried to give back to the old people who saved her, yet they didn't accept. Ed made a mental note to check up on them afterward.
"Why don't we play for a bit and get lunch after? Suika you can transform to play with them if you want" Ed asked Suika to transform into her human form since playing would be much better that way. Suika also seemed to think about that and transformed. She and the other children spent time playing catch with each other. Suika knew that she needed to hold back since the children were a lot weaker, so she slowed down quite a bit.
"You know Mister Ed, ever since we were young we never knew our families. However, after meeting you we can feel how it's like to have a caring brother!" Eri who wasn't playing with the children sat next to Ed and told him these words as she was smiling. They seemed to be what she was truly feeling.
"I see. Well since we're like family, don't call me Mister. You can call me Ed or just big brother if you want" Ed felt warm inside his heart. Other than his family and acquaintances, he didn't have a good relationship with anyone in this world. His time with the children was quite valuable for him too since he didn't have to worry about anything.
"Well let's go and meet the people who helped you. I want to thank them as your big brother" Ed didn't have a lot of time in the capital so he decided to finish some stuff today. Eri showed him the way and he visited all the people she took him to.
Ed thanked them sincerely and gave them some gold coins to help them. Every one of them didn't want to accept and said that the children reminded them of themselves when they were young. They all knew the struggle of living in the slums.
Ed still persisted and made them accept. They were all very thankful and promised him they would protect the children whenever they could. Afterward, Ed took Eri and registered her at the guild in the capital. This allowed her to have an identity.
He then took the children to an inn and booked them a room for 10 days. He didn't want them to get hurt while he was absent this time. The children were all happy except Eri who told him it was too much. However, Ed told her it was his duty as a big brother.
"Next time I go back to Avalon kingdom I'll take you guys with me to join the sect there. So I want you to train until then so you could join" Ed had planned to make them join Glory sect. That way they would at least have a stable future and not stay in the slums forever.
When the children heard him, they were all ecstatic. They knew the importance of sects even though they were just children.
After finishing with the inn, Ed took the children to eat lunch and they all went shopping for clothes. Ed had left them 200 gold coins this time and told them to spend it however they want. He could easily make money now so it wasn't a big deal.
After he left, the children kept waving goodbye to him until they could no longer see him.
Ed left the capital and opened his Map to check on monsters that he needed to hunt. He noticed a great number of red dots that seemed to be colony monsters and decided to attack them. He needed to do a lot of hunting and he needed to do it fast.
Hello everyone! Eri is as old as Bella in case you were wondering. The rest of the children are 4-6 years old.
