Chapter 57: The return

In the morning, Ed continued his hunt once more. He searched for monster nests since they provide the best amount of exp. He found another nest of ants similar to the one from yesterday and decimated it in no time at all. His experience was getting better and his strategy skill helps him come up with creative ways to kill the monsters.

Ed also searched for some strong monsters and hunted them. Although killing monster nest was better, he couldn't afford to keep fighting weak monsters. If someday he fought a monster that was a lot stronger than him, he would stand no chance.

He chose an Earth Establishment level 2 monster. This monster was like a leopard and had an unbelievable speed. Ed struggled just to keep up with it.

Feeling that he was in danger, Ed activated his Sharingan as well as his defensive skills. This allowed him to react better to the leopard. However, he still needed Raikou's help to kill it. Cross ranking kills were still quite difficult for him at this instant.

*Ding*

Obtained 5000 exp.

Acquired Gacha ticket.

This exp was what Ed had needed to level up. He was now at King Establishment level 2. He also had five Gacha tickets and was thinking how to get the other five. It became a habit for him to use the Gacha every time with ten tickets.

Since Ed leveled up and it was already in the afternoon, he decided to stop for the day and prepare to get back. But first, he cooked something for him and his companions and then headed back to the capital. He was quite the distance away from it but only needed one hour to get back thanks to Raikou.

When he was close enough, he got Raikou to go in his shadow and he continued on foot. In the capital, Ed went to buy some stuff from the market. He got some meat and vegetables to cook with and also asked when the auction would happen. He did not forget about the cockatrice meat that he ate before. The auction was going to happen in two weeks which Ed considered lucky since he wasn't going to have to wait for some year or something.

Ed also bought some medicinal herbs and blacksmithing materials. He was thinking about making some high leveled weapons for the three monsters since their performance would improve a lot if that happened.

It was getting late and Ed needed to head back to the academy, but before doing so he dropped by Eri and the children. They were happy to see him but quickly had a sad face since he needed to leave. He promised to spend more time with them next time and finally made his way to the castle.

"Master Ed, welcome back" The guard in the gates greeted Ed which shocked him. He didn't expect that guard would know his name let alone greet him like they were his personal retinues.

"Thank you. May I ask how you know my name?" Ed couldn't help but ask him with a wry smile on his face.

"We've been asked to memorize the faces of all students to make it easier to identify if an outsider wanted to sneak in" The guard gave Ed some explanation which he found logical. But he then continued "You are also famous among guards" Ed was surprised and asked him again.

"Famous? How?"

"Everyone knows how you were not a cultivator and now you defeated the famous Leon from Avalez kingdom. You may not know it but he is considered a genius. Plus you showed that Norris his place. No one likes him because of his attitude" The guard seemed very excited while speaking with Ed.

"I see. Well, thanks for continuing the good work" Ed didn't know what to tell the guard so he just left. He was becoming famous which was something he wanted to avoid. But it seems like fame follows the powerful no matter what they do.

Ed got on the magic circle and teleported back to the academy. He went straight to his room and took a bath. He had hunted a lot of monsters and the smell of blood was stuck on him. His monsters also took a bath and all of them ate once more.

Ed went outside and met up with Hayato and then Emilia. Both of them told him that they went to the capital but only for a brief time. They spend most of their time cultivating. He didn't see Ellie or Stephanie anywhere so he just decided to get back to his room and train.

He checked his Inventory and noticed he had quite a bit of useless items laying there. Suddenly he remembered that the Inventory had another function that he forgot about.

"System exchange all the items in the Inventory except the Function cards!" Ed had long since forgotten about the Exchange function since it was only mentioned to him once.

[Exchanging please wait]

*Ding*

Acquired Gacha ticketx5.

Ed didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky. He had gotten exactly 5 Gacha tickets which he wanted to complete ten. However, he had more items in his Inventory. 'Next time I'll ask for twenty cards' He thought.

"Use 5 gacha tickets on Skills and 5 on Function" Ed distributed his draws.

[Drawing please wait]

*Ding*

Obtained Fire magic, Driving, Shunpo, Nen, Haggling, Upgrade cardx3, Transformation card, Healing card.

Looking at the skills he had gotten, Ed was more than surprised. Nen was a very known power which was useful in so many ways. Ed was also thinking about practicing another movement skill, but now he didn't need it. Shunpo would be more than enough.

Ed crushed the two cards and checked his status this time.

Hello everyone! Ed is getting some more awesome skills. Everyone knows about Nen i assume, but Shunpo is a movement skill that shinigami use in Bleach in case you didn't know. There also some variations of it but i went with Shunpo.

If you see any mistakes point them out. Enjoy.

Chapter 58: The Water Divination

"System, scan the two new skills" Ed gave the system some orders.

[Scanning…]

Nen: Change your life force into a special energy.

Shunpo: movement skill.

'Isn't the description really vague…? Well, whatever' Ed focused on the important question to ask. "Why don't the skills have a grade?" Ed noticed that his new skills didn't belong to any grade. He knew they were very useful and powerful skills to have but still felt uncomfortable at this.

[These skills would keep growing with the user as he keeps getting stronger. This means that they would never be at a certain rarity forever. The Shunpo skill, for example, would become better than supreme grade skills if the user is strong enough]. The system's explanation gave Ed a great deal of relief as well as confidence. Skills that grow strong with you were more than he could ever ask for.

Ed went into the training room and locked the door. Immediately, he mimicked what he had seen before and used Ren. His aura exploded out of his body and the air shook inside the room. Both Ed and Raikou were surprised at this, and Ed quickly used Ten making his aura smooth around his body. The only reason Ed had this much control over his aura was thanks to him practicing KI control every day, making this a child's play for him.

Ed finally used Zetsu and looked back at Raikou. "Raikou, I'm going to help you open up the pores that are closing your aura" He made his way to Raikou and was going to use the Initiation ceremony. He wasn't afraid of injuring him due to his inexperience because firstly Raikou was strong. Secondly, Ed had enough control over his aura not to make fatal mistakes.

Ed made an influx of his aura enter Raikou. The latter's aura was released and again, the air in the room shook. Raikou's aura looked much fiercer than Ed's. Soon enough, he used Zetsu as if it was natural to him.

Ed similarly did the Initiation ceremony with each one of his other monsters. Every one of them quickly controlled their aura and used Zetsu to keep it in check.

"System use one upgrade card on each one of Gobuta, Goburou and Garu" Ed was satisfied with his monsters' performance and decided to use his cards to upgrade them. He wanted to evolve his Sharingan at first but decided against it. He wasn't an Uchiha and using Mangekyo Sharingan in his current state would drain him completely. Even the system decided against it, saying he should wait until he breaks into Earth Establishment real at least.

[Upgrading please wait…]

Congratulations Gobuta evolved into Ogre.

Congratulations Goburou evolved into Dhampyr.

Congratulations Garu evolved into Werewolf.

'Huh that doesn't make sense' Ed was while looking at the evolution notifications. One of them didn't make sense.

"System, how come Goburou transformed into a half-vampire when he is a goblin. Shouldn't he be an Ogre as well?"

[Host is mistaken. A monster's evolution is related to the blood they have. Goblins have the most polluted blood among monsters because of their excessive mating. The system simply picks up on the strongest one of the types of blood and evolves them accordingly] The system's explanations never failed to enlighten Ed. He also decided not to dwell on it as it would not matter as long as his monsters do get stronger.

Gobuta's transformation made him a bit of a giant. He was now more than two meters tall and he had dark green skin. His hair was black and he had the face of a human with fangs coming out.

Goburou was now a bit taller than Ed. His skin was pale while his eyes were blood red. Garu didn't change much as he had gotten even bigger and had even more fur around his body. However, all three of them had an aura stronger than any monster Ed had killed before.

"It's time to do a bit of testing wait here for a little while" Ed went outside and got a couple of leaves needed for his tests. Soon enough, he was back in the training room. He also got a cup and filled it with water.

"I'll go first, watch me and do the same afterward" Ed activated his Nen and injected the water cup. Suddenly the water started overflowing. Ed stopped and had a big smile on his face.

'I'm an Enhancer. This is just what I needed' Ed had wanted to be an enhancer more than anything. He had movement skills as well as an ocular skill. What he needed was a body strengthening skill and now Nen would be more than efficient.

"Now you guys do the same"

Raikou was first. Ed wanted to see how he would be able to do the Water Divination test without hands, but Raikou simply extended his aura and made it surround the water cup. However, nothing happened. Raikou looked concerned but soon saw Ed moving towards the cup and taste the water.

"The water is sweet. You're a Transmuter, I'll explain everything later" Ed soon asked everyone to do the test after changing the water in the cup.

Gobuta's water increased in volume making him an Enhancer. Goburou made his water leaf move on the surface so he was a Manipulator. Garu had the same result as Goburou making him a Manipulator.

Ed recalled the three of them to let Suika take her test. She made 'hands' by changing the shape of the parts she extended. After taking the test, the leaf in the water seemed as if it was alive and started growing bigger. This didn't follow the usual results making Suika a Specialist.

Ed explained to her what this means and told her some examples that he knew from before. Suika was smart so she could easily understand what she was told. Ed recalled her and summoned the other three and started explaining things to them and Raikou.

After their evolution, all three of them were much smarter than before and understood what Ed was telling them, even though they had no reference.

After finishing the tests, Ed was planning to train some more with everyone so he cleared the water cup and everything else and got ready.
