"Well then, I'll just make you know how much similar to a frog in a well, you guys are." Ed deactivated his En. He no longer needed it now since he activated the Sharingan, and his sight was back. He rushed at Norris and started a sword fight with him. Each slash of Norris was met by two from Ed. But, as time went by, Ed looked as if he was on the losing side. Norris shocked him with lightning. Making Ed stunned, and then he slashed at his abdomen, blowing him away.
"Hahaha did you get weaker or something?!" Norris was too full of himself right now. However, some laughter on the sideline brought him back to reality. Ed's teammates, along with Leon and Charlie were laughing for some reason. Soon, the body of Ed that was blown away seemed to be melting into nothing. Some sword clashes could be heard on the right of Norris. "Oh, it seems like it wore off rather quickly. As expected from Earth Establishment!" Ed was fighting Alicia and pressuring her.
Norris didn't notice that he was put under Genjutsu. He didn't even know when it happened. All he could feel now was the shame. A shame of fighting air. "Now then I'll increase my tempo a little!" Ed used Shunpo and Ken at the same time. He also used Ryu to enhance his feet. Both of his feet had 30% of his total aura, while the rest of his body had the remaining 40%. Ed used this combination before and was able to handle it. As long as he doesn't put another layer of speed, he should be fine. He also used the silencing effect of the Shadow Steps and started moving.
He was now fighting both Alicia and Norris at the same time. Ed was using a special skill of Shunpo called speed clones. His super fast movement allowed him to create clones, making him capable of 'splitting' himself. But, in this state, he could only put pressure on them, and not beat them. After playing around for a while, Ed stopped and stored Muramasa. His Ame-No-Murakumo started condensing wind around it. "You better dodge this. Compressed Wind is very dangerous." After finishing his preparations, Ed swung his sword from an overhead position. He made sure no one was in the direction of the slash outside of the ring. After finishing, it looked as if the ring had split into two parts.
"You bastard! You're just showing off!" Norris was now fuming with anger. No one had played with his this way in his life. "You're right I should finish this. You guys, get far away" Ed spoke to his friends. He was going to use an AOE skill. He withdrew Muramasa again and stabbed it into the ground. He used Fire magic and injected it into the ground using his sword. Suddenly cracks formed all over the ring and surrounded Alicia and Norris. "Be careful, the floor is lava" Ed couldn't help himself from saying this. The fire that was injected got out from the cracks. Norris wasn't fast enough to dodge and was burned. Alicia jumped up to avoid the flames, but Ed was already waiting for her.
"Nitoryu Nigiri" Ed's two Katanas were now parallel to each in a horizontal way. "Otoro!" His sword slashed downwards with both Fire and Wind magic. The attack was so powerful that it sent Alicia flying right out of the ring. A web-like crack formed on the area where she fell. She coughed up some blood while looking at Ed before losing consciousness.
Norris was finally out of the fire. He was burned, but he was healing at an incredible speed. "You won't be able to kill me!" He charged aiming to beat Ed anyway possible. "I don't need to. I just need to drop you off the ring." Ed dodged one of Norris' slashes and stored his swords. He hit Norris' legs making him stumble, and caught his head. Ed was still angry at how Norris had threatened Suika. He smashed his head with the ring's grounds. Norris was now all bloodied from the smash. Ed increased the amount of aura he had in his hands and threw Norris out.
"Would you like to fight, Leon?" He turned his head to look at Leon and Charlie who were still on the ring.
"I'd rather keep my dignity…" Even Leon, who loved to fight, chose to avoid Ed right now.
"The fight is over! Class E wins!" The general was the one who announced this time. Before anyone knew it, the king had approached Ed. Even Ed couldn't feel him moving towards him. 'Looks like I'm still a frog inside a well too' Ed thought.
"How dare you beat my daughter?! Now she'll be sad she couldn't win!" Everyone present couldn't hide their shock. 'He's an overprotective father…' a wry smile formed in Ed's mouth as he thought about this father in front of him.
"Stop it, dad, you're embarrassing me!" It seemed like Alicia woke up right in time to hear her doting father. Compared to him, she was taking the loss in a much more simple way.
"Let's fight some other time. I hope you take it easy on me then." Alicia came to Ed and shook his hands, then went to get healed. Ed's slash broke some of her ribs, but thankfully it wasn't dangerous.
"Guess I can't help it" The king spoke in a low voice, then continued it. "E class won the tournament. All members will be given 1000 gold coins and have total access to the library!" Hearing the rewards, E class felt happy. They had won against all odds. Everyone one of them thanked Ed and his team, if not for them, they wouldn't even dream about such a thing.
All the students were now off the ring, including Ed. He was chatting with his friends about his new nickname. 'The Destroyer' He wasn't very fond of it. His happy time was interrupted by someone.
"I refuse to accept it! I can't lose, not to you! If I don't win, there is no winner!" Norris was very annoying at this moment. But, Ed decided to ignore him.
'This isn't the result we wanted, but it's better than nothing.' A figure moving in the back went unnoticed by everyone. It seemed that Norris' words were a trigger for something. But, no one knew, what would be triggered would cause a nightmare for this academy.
Hello everyone! Hope you enjoy the chapter. Ed won the tournament, but what could be happening I wonder? Stay tuned for the next chapter!
"What will you be doing Ed? Will you go train again?" Ellie was curious about what Ed was going to do. They had just won the tournament, making them the strongest of the academy. But there was always room to improve.
"No, I'm going to be meeting with my family in the capital." Ed had other plans. He was going to spend this time with Eri and the children, before taking them back to his kingdom.
"Your family will be visiting you?" His friends were rather curious about this. Usually, no one would cross such a distance just to meet with someone. It hasn't been that long either.
"Not exactly" Ed didn't explain himself, nor did he need to do that. Everyone had their privacy, and the ones present knew exactly what that meant.
Before Ed could leave, he was surrounded by other students. They all wanted to have a chat with him, especially some girls, while some of them wanted to fight him, or train with him. It took Ed a while to get away from them, mainly thanks to the help of Hayato, and the others who made it seems like he already had plans to be with them.
As Ed was making his way to the teleportation circle to get back to the castle, he was stopped by an ear piercing scream. Everyone present was surprised by the sudden scream. Even the king and general, who still had not left, turned around to check the situation. Ed looked to the back to see a girl clutching her head while screaming. She looked as if she was losing her mind as the seconds' pass. Not a minute later, another scream sounded that freaked out the students.
This time it was another student, an Oni to be precise. 'Two of them?! Could it be a sickness? No that's too much of a coincidence…'. Ed who was surprised by the sudden change of events activated his Sharingan to check the two students that were in a weird situation. After checking out the QI of the two students, his worst fear had come true. Both of them were in the same situation as Eric from before. In fact, they were much worse, their QI seemed as if it was exploding inside their body.
Before Ed could inform someone about the situation, someone spoke. "Well then, I won't be needing this anymore" Ed looked at the source of the voice to find that it is Class C's teacher. His face looked as if it was melting, anyone who looked at his felt nauseous. "T-Teacher?" Leon and Charlie, who were rather familiar with their teacher, looked surprised at what was happening to him.
"I had to avoid you two since you were much stronger than the rest. But now, everyone will be dying!" The teacher released his QI and immediately, the students felt fear. 'This isn't Earth Establishment! This is even further… It can't be an Immortal Establishment.!' The QI released by the fake teacher made Ed lose some hope. If the enemy was truly this strong, they had no hopes of leaving.
"What have you done to my teacher?" A voice broke Ed out of his whirlpool of despair. The king and general seemed to have gotten an idea about what was happening. Both of them seemed ready to fight, no to kill the man in front of them.
"Oh, I haven't done anything. I took the teaching test and you people accepted me." The man was speaking with a smile stuck on his face at all times. Instead of making people feel that he was friendly, they wanted nothing but to get away from him.
"What do you want here?" The king remained calm even while everything was going south. More and more students were falling on their knees screaming. There were now more than 20 students in such a state.
"I'm here to announce the return of my sect." The man stopped for a while, adding a dramatic feeling to his words. "The blood sect!" The king and general's eyes both opened up wide. It seemed that they couldn't believe what they heard.
"That can't be true! That abomination of a sect was destroyed a long time ago!" The general who was silent until now couldn't stop himself from speaking.
"That's why I said, we have returned! And we prepared a festival to celebrate!" The disgusting smile never parted with the man. "What did you do to the students?!" The king seemed to be losing his patience as he screamed. Ed who was listening to them all this time finally had the courage to speak. "They are being controlled!"
"How did you know?" Hayato who was next to him thought that the students were poisoned. No one thought about the possibility of them being controlled.
"I encountered this situation before." Ed didn't tell them about the incident with Eric, but they believed him. Even the king and general had no doubts about it.
"Oh yes, the illusionist was sent to Avalon. I guess you were the reason why he failed to do his job." The man switched his attention to Ed. His look alone made him shiver uncontrollably. The killing intent being released was too much for anyone to handle. His friends who were next to him weren't the target, yet they could feel helpless.
"You can die now." Before Ed could register what he was told, a palm was descending, aiming for him. 'I can't block it. Should I dodge?' In a split second, Ed studied all the possible situations that were presented to him. He knew he was doomed if nothing was done. Suddenly a sword slash made the palm dissipate.
"Don't think you can push my students around." Harry had appeared to help Ed and the others. They were all relieved to see him. Then, another person stood next to him. IT was class A's teacher. "All bets are off Harry. The students were being controlled, which means that they weren't at their best!" He seemed to be trying to make Harry forget about their bet. "No way" Harry didn't seem to back away either.
"You two get the other teachers and try to save the students. You can't handle this man anyway" The king was preparing to fight himself, while the general was going to support him.
Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay on the release. I had to take a three hour trip on the train. Alson if you notice a lack of quality in this chapter, then please excuse me, I didn't get much sleep and I had to take a make-up exam this morning. Enjoy^^
