Chapter 8: The preparation (1/2)

”So you're basically telling me to start leveling up as soon as possible huh...” Ed thought deeply about what the system said and decided on his next course of action.

”System is it possible to have a description of all my skills?”

[Yes it is within the possibilities of the Scan function]

”Then show me”

[Starting scan... please wait]

”System how come I have full mastery of Nitoryu, but not of other skills?” Ed was wondering why there was such a difference.

[Your skills that were learned would obviously start at level 1. As for skills from the Gacha their mastery level will be different most of the times.]

'So it's all up to luck huh... Well, I can be considered lucky for getting a sword skill of full mastery' Ed was grateful for his luck in the Gacha.

After sorting out his skills he immediately left his room and headed to where his father was at. Becky accompanied him all the way and announced his arrival to his father and he then went in to talk to him.

”Ed, you're feeling better I assume?” Arthur kept checking out his son's body.

”Yes father sorry for the trouble”

”Well your mother wanted to eat me alive after finding out you passed out, but she should calm down now” Arthur looked like he remembered some bad memories.

'I should make sure not to piss off my mom' Ed made sure to take note of that.

”Father I want to ask for your permission to leave the city to hunt!” Ed told his father what he wanted. According to the system he needed to level-up for better results. And Ed himself didn't want to stay as a weak human.

”Why would you want to do that? You should have everything you want here” Arthur asked with concern as well as anticipation.

”I want to get stronger.” Ed exposed his true feelings with confidence and determination.

”...HAHAHAHA! Very well you can do whatever you want. Just make sure to take Becky with you she should be able to handle anything that happens!” Arthur seemed very satisfied with Ed's answer.

”Thank you, father...” Ed was glad that his father agreed but didn't know why he asked him to take Becky with him. She was a maid, not a knight.

[Host is mistaken; the young maid is at King's establishment so she should be considered quite powerful]

'What the hell?!! Doesn't that mean she's the 2nd most powerful person after my father?!' Ed was very surprised that his maid was this powerful.

”Becky make sure he doesn't die at least,” Arthur told Becky and got back to his work.

”Understood your majesty”
