Chapter 52: The winner (2/2)
”I'm good”
”I'm alright thanks!” Hayato replied naturally while Stephanie seemed as nervous as always.
Back at Ed's place, he was now overwhelming his opponent with his sword skills alone. His opponent could use earth as well as wind magic but that meant nothing for Ed. He was now proficient enough to dodge and slash with no time in between. His eyesight had also improved enough to have an overview of the battlefield. The reason Ed didn't finish his opponent off was to draw out his enemy in case one was hiding.
However, after not appearing for so long, Ed simply decided to end the fight now. ”Ellie!” He called out to his teammate while using fire magic to surround his enemy. There was no reason to finish him off since getting the flag means the game's end.
”You don't have to tell me twice!” Ellie rushed out and grabbed the flag in less than 2 seconds after Ed's shout. As soon as they got the flag a siren sounded off to mark the end of the mack-battle.
Ed stopped his magic and his opponent got out with a wry smile on his face. ”If you're this strong why bother hide your strength and go to E class” He couldn't help but ask Ed this question.
”It's simply more fun this way, don't you think?” Ed only told him this before making his way back to the rest of his team. Along the way, he met up with Leon and gave him some of the pills he had concocted. He didn't give him the potions but this was still enough to heal most of his minor injuries. They also met up with the girl that fought Ellie and Leon put her on his back. Soon enough they were at Ed's team's area and Leon took back his two teammates while heading off back to C class.
”Are you okay Hayato?” Ed noticed that Hayato had been injured while Emilia and Stephanie looked fine.
”I'm alright. I just let my guard down. Good job making us win.” Hayato was scratching his face while smiling.
”It was a team effort! Take these” Ed also gave Hayato some pills which were a bit stronger than the ones he gave Leon. Hayato instantly felt better and thanked Ed.
The team returned back to the monitor room and the rest of the class was overjoyed.
”Great job out there!” ”Good job winning” ”Not everyone from our class lost!” Most of the class was glad that Ed's team won. However, some proud nobles didn't admit that Ed's team was better than them.
”Yes yes, good job. Now let us talk about your rewards” Harry intervened in time to stop the class's noise and started talking about the rewards he had mentioned before.
