Chapter 12: The talk and The practice (2/2)

Ed then performed some sword techniques with only one sword. Bella mimicked them while Ed kept correcting her moves.

About an hour passed and Bella was already tired, Ed then got Becky to take her away to his mother's place and he started sparring with Raikou.

Raikou was now stronger than Ed. This only served to motivate Ed to spar with him; he knew his opponents wouldn't always be weaker than him.

Ed activated his Sharingan and went full power from the start. He was using two wooden swords instead of Murasame and Murata-tou.

Raikou's increased speed proved more troublesome than Ed thought. He could only see a blur when Raikou moved at full speed even with his Sharingan. However, after being in so many battles, Ed's instincts started blossoming and his body could react a bit faster.

About 2 hours passed as they were sparring. Ed could now use Sharingan for an hour before his eyes start to hurt him. After the 1st hour passed his performance dropped and he barely held on in the 2nd hour.

As Ed was heading back to his room he saw his mother coming towards him.

”Ed! Who told you to teach your sister sword techniques? What if she got hurt? What if she becomes a sword maniac? Who would want to marry her?!” It was his mother's signature machine-gun questions.

Ed saw Becky behind his mother and asked her what was wrong with his eyes.

”Young mistress got fatigued from the training, so she fell in a deep asleep” The answer was short and simple. 'As you would expect from Becky' Ed was thankful for Becky's character at this moment.

”Mother you don't have to worry, Bella is just tired she will be fine. Besides I only taught her some techniques, I didn't spar with her and I didn't teach her how to fight either” Ed was trying to explain himself to his mother. ”You know I would never do anything to hurt my little sister.”

As soon as his mother heard his last sentence she calmed down and knew he was right.

”Just let me know if you want to do something like this again” His mother left after telling him that.

”Becky I'm planning to leave to hunt, but I want to leave alone” Ed wanted to try and have more liberty when hunting.

”I'll inform his majesty and we'll see” Becky didn't seem like she would back down so he couldn't do anything.

After Becky spoke with Arthur, she came back and told Ed ”His Highness agreed but he told you to be responsible and not bite more than you can chew”. Ed could hear a bit of disappointment in Becky's voice but dismissed it because it seemed ridiculous.

Ed knew this was how his father told him to be careful. He then wore his usual outfit and got on a carriage, this time Becky only drove him there and went back after she told him to be back here by sunset for getting back.

Ed nodded and made his way inside the familiar forest.
