Chapter 68: The small party

Ed woke up late. He left quickly to get to his class. Thankfully his teacher was even later.

"Everyone, there will be no classes this week due to the tournament." Immediately, the mood was better in class. No one liked going to class, except a select few, so it was good news. "You will have this time for training. A training hall will be open to each class so you don't have to worry about time schedules. Or, you can just choose to train in your rooms." Harry was about to walk out of the classroom but stopped. Apparently, he remembered something.

"The academy wants us, teachers, to provide you all with support, so if you need something you can come to the teachers' office. But please don't, I want to be free this week." As usual, Harry's laziness surpassed his shamelessness. He left them the key to the training hall and left. Ed went to speak with his friends before they all leave.

"Hey, I got some rare meat yesterday and I'm planning to cook it. Would you guys like to join?" Ed was straightforward in asking them.

Hayato and Stephanie answered positively while Emilia seemed as if she wanted to refuse, but Ed didn't allow her. "I want all of us to come and enjoy it, don't try to refuse. I plan to invite Leon as well so the more the better." Emilia was convinced and agreed to join. Only Ellie who was quiet for a while now didn't agree. However, they all knew the reason, so Emilia and Stephanie as fellow girls convinced her to join.

"Well then, I'll be leaving to look for Leon. Just come to my room at around sunset." Ed left after telling them. 'How wonderful it would be if I had a phone now' Ed had to look for Leon until finding him, he couldn't help but reminiscence about the greatness of technology. However, Ed had something else, although not better, still rather useful. He activated his Map and searched for green points. He quickly found two green points and went ahead. He was near a training hall so Leon was probably training. He waited outside for a little while before they got their break.

C class was different from E class. Mainly their teacher, who was rather enthusiastic about training them. Ed asked for his permission to talk to Leon.

"I'll be cooking some nice stuff today at around sunset, make sure you're present," Ed told Leon what was going to happen and wanted to leave quickly so he wouldn't get in the way of their training.

"Ah Oh! Can I bring Liza with me?" Leon quickly stopped Ed and asked him.

'Liza should be his classmate from the other day…' After realizing this, Ed had a devious smile on his face, which scared Leon.

"What's with that smile?! It's not what you think!" He quickly defended himself.

"Sure, sure you can invite her! I'll make sure to reserve you two seats next to each other!" Ed teased his friend a little before leaving.

Ed returned to his room and started preparing. He was going to use half of the body to host for his friends, while the other half was reserved for Raikou and the rest. Ed withdrew the items he needed from his Inventory and started cooking. He even made special utensils he didn't find in the market with his blacksmithing skill.

He used the breast meat as a dish on its own, as he cooked it in oil and baked it. He also made some fried chicken, which he missed for so long. All his dishes were made with the best spices he could find in the capital's market. Every dish he made was instantly stored in his Inventory, keeping it warm and ready for the use. Ed spent almost four hours to prepare the whole cockatrice. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry. The ingredient he wanted for so long was gone in a single day, but it would definitely be worth it.

There was still some time before sunset, so Ed trained his Ren alone this time. He practiced Shunpo most of the time yesterday and didn't get to do much Ren training. He could now hold this state for about one hour, which was an impressive improvement considering he doesn't train as much as he wants.

Time passed by and Ed was waiting in his room after taking a shower. Soon enough, someone knocked on his door. It was Hayato, who brought with him some drinks. 'Thankfully it's not alcohol' Ed doesn't drink any alcoholic beverages. It was simply a dislike.

People started coming one after the other. The final one to come was Ellie. Ed brought them all together and they sat in the kitchen. It was big enough for them to sit down with room to spare.

"Well then let's begin!" Ed put the dishes on a table he had gotten. He was acting like a magician on purpose. Every time he would move his hands on top of the table, and a dish would come out. After all the dishes were out, everyone got a drink and started eating happily.

Ed really did make Leon and Liza sit together on purpose. He got a look of both hate and appreciation from Leon, but he just shrugged it off. Everyone was having a good time, even Ellie who was down lately seemed to be getting better as she ate more and more food.

"Ed, could this be cockatrice meat?" Apparently, Emilia knew what the meat was from.

"Yes, it is. An acquaintance of mine joined the auction, and I was able to secure some of it for myself." Ed didn't want to tell them he joined the auction himself. They didn't need to know anyway. When the others heard that it was cockatrice meat, they nodded their head as if understanding how it was this good.

Soon enough, almost all the dishes were cleared out, and everyone simply chatted together.

"I won't go easy on you in the tournament if we are paired together!" Leon was in a good mood and simply challenged almost everyone present.

"I won't go easy either," Ed responded to his challenge with a challenge and they all laughed together.

"Ed I have something to ask of you!" It was Ellie who spoke. She seemed to be hesitating about this and used all her courage. Ed was caught off guard and couldn't respond.

"I want you to train me!"

Hello everyone! Where could Ellie be going with this i wonder?!

Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 69: The group training

"Eh? What do you mean?!" Ed's imagination ran wild for a while, before forcefully calming himself down.

"I want you to teach me your technique." It seemed like Ed's power left a deep impression on her.

"I can't teach you that."

"I know that it might be a secret technique, and I know I'm out of line. But I need to get stronger!" Ellie had some tears in her eyes as she spoke. It seemed like getting stronger was a very important thing for her.

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, I can't. If I teach you this technique you'll probably end up discarding your cultivation. You shouldn't be training both things at once. At least not until you reach Heavenly Establishment." When reaching Heavenly Establishment, people are able to absorb QI from their surroundings, without having to go into a meditation state. Their bodies would be cleansed making them a perfect vessel for QI.

"However, I don't mind training you with QI only." QI and Nen were almost the same. Only with Nen, you can create special techniques specific to you only. But with QI you can practice all sorts of techniques easily. Ed could simulate Nen training with QI even though the results would probably be lacking.

"As long as I can get stronger!" Ellie seemed to agree with his proposal.

"Good. Then we'll meet in the training hall. You guys can come as well if you want." Ed also invited the rest of his friends. It was better than being alone with Ellie.

After everything was over, Ed's friends went to their rooms. Ed summoned his companions and got Raikou to come out of his shadow, they headed to the training room, and he brought out the rest of the cockatrice. All of them greatly enjoyed the feast and looked as if they could go on training for days without stopping. However, Ed would only train for three hours today. He would be undergoing a very intense schedule of training starting tomorrow.

Ed got his companions to train their Ren, and then some advanced techniques while he continued his training of Shunpo. This time he was only using Ten to protect himself in case of falling or going off course. He finished with some Ren training and took a bath. Before going to bed, Ed was thinking about the tournament. 'Since it lasts only for one day, it will probably be a team fight. Perhaps we'll have teams from each class face off against each other, even other classmates.' Ed finally decided to stop with his speculations and drifted off to sleep.

In the morning, Ed made breakfast for everyone. Raikou wanted to train alone, so Ed let him use the training room as much as he wanted. Ed left the room with Suika and headed to the training hall. On the way, he met up with Leon and chatted until they went in separate ways. Ed had also invited Leon to join him in training, but Leon preferred to train alone, so he could fight Ed without having to hold anything back.

Inside the training hall, Ed found Hayato, Emilia, Stephanie, and Ellie. There were also some of the classmates that joined them before, but they didn't plan to rely on Ed's training this time, they wanted to get stronger on their own.

"Hey everyone. Before we begin, can you show me what techniques you can use that involve QI? I want to know the extent of your abilities." Ed already had a general idea about their prowess, but the more he knew the better.

Hayato seemed to be able to use all elements. He could also fuse them like Ed; which was very rare. Emilia used many types of magic, but her swordplay was enhanced with QI. The speed and strength of her rapier reached impressive levels. Stephanie was very proficient at using Earth magic. She can also enhance herself with QI similar to Ellie, but a lot weaker. She's also able to use wind magic. Ellie's only use of QI was body strengthening. Although she was good at it, it was only at a basic level.

'If she's a princess, she should have been using a cultivation technique that enhanced her QI. But it seems to be only able to do that. It doesn't look like she trained in skills that used that abundance of QI.' Ed was able to quickly guess Ellie's situation. Although she had a lot of QI, she couldn't correctly use it. It was just there. 'Nen would suit her a lot if she becomes a Heavenly Establishment cultivator in the future' Ellie's QI would make quite the good use of Nen training.

"I'll be showing you guys how I use QI. It won't be the same as the technique, but it should be better than nothing." Ed began by entering a state of Ren using only his KI. It felt very awkward for him, but he could still do it. He also showed them Ten and Zetsu. Emilia and Hayato could easily use a technique similar to Hatsu, but Stephanie and Ellie had trouble with it. As for Ren and Ten, they all struggled with it for a while.

After a while, they could mostly use the techniques. Ed decided to do some sparring since it would be useless if they couldn't do it while fighting.

"I'll be training with Emilia and Ellie. Suika you take on Hayato and Stephanie." Ed separated everyone according to what he thought was proper.

"But Ed, what if we hurt Suika?" Stephanie seemed worried about Suika, unlike Hayato who could generally guess how strong she was.

"Don't worry she'll be fine. In case this helps you, Suika you can transform to make it easier for you." Ed wasn't worried about Suika at all. He asked to transform into her human form to fight. This surprised everyone, but they remembered that she could transform parts of her body already; doing it on a larger scale seemed only natural.

"Now then, don't hold anything back because we won't be doing so either." Suddenly, Ed and Suika used Ren to intimidate their opponents. This time it was real Ren, not a simulated one. Their companions could feel the pressure.
