Chapter 53: The library (1/2)
”Each one of you will be given 500 gold by the academy. And since you defeated a C class team, you'll have access that C class students have in the library that will open up tomorrow.” Harry gave them a simple overview of the rewards they had gotten from their win. They also understood that the library would have levels that each class can have access to. Ed decided this would be a good chance to increase his knowledge of the world.
”That'll be all for today. We'll meet tomorrow.” Harry told them as he was leaving the room. Ed and his friends also exited and headed to the infirmary. Although Ed's pills did most of the work, they still wanted for Hayato and Ellie to check in and have their injuries examined. It took them about an hour and all five headed to the restaurant.
”Over here, Ed!” Ed turned his head around to check who was calling for him. Although it was obvious since no one was acquainted with him except for a few people and most of them were next to him.
”Let's eat together” Leon was sitting next to one of his teammates while waiting for his food.
”Sure” Ed had no reason to refuse. The same was for his teammates. Everyone introduced themselves while waiting for the food. ”My name is Liza, nice to meet you” Leon's teammate introduced herself and they started having some small talk.
”Are your injuries alright Leon?” Ed had to ask about Leon's condition since he was the one who did the damage.
”Of course! That's nothing” Leon seemed healthy as if nothing had happened to him. ”By the way, won't you train with me sometime? I feel like I'll improve a lot by fighting you regularly” Leon's eyes looked as if they were shining. Ed had a bad feeling as if accepting would result in a long time of hardships.
”Maybe someday hahaha” Ed could only shrug him off while promising him.
”Don't forget you'll still have to fight me” Ellie interjected at that moment and reminded Ed that she wanted to fight him at his best.
”Ahahahaha” Ed couldn't help but let out a weird laugh. Everyone wanted to fight him after this morning.
The lunch finished and everyone headed out to their rooms since they had no classes today. Ed immediately ate again with Raikou and headed inside his training room. He summoned his three monsters and trained them again for a while with swords. They lasted a lot longer and were stronger as well. It seemed like their ability to improve was great since they had evolved.
Ed was fighting while using his Sharingan this time. He hadn't used this skill in while since it put quite a burden on his body and the enemies weren't strong enough to need it. He wanted to see how long he can last while using his skills without holding back. The three monsters couldn't handle him in that state so he recalled them and summoned Suika. Raikou and Suika both started fighting Ed at his request. In his state, Ed could handle both of them for about one hour fighting at his best before he lost all his KI.
'Seems like I'm going to have to make some hunting trips soon' Ed hadn't hunted since coming to the academy. Unlike other students, he didn't cultivate so unless he killed monsters, he wasn't going to get stronger.
Ed had spent a couple of hours training with his monsters and recovering his KI. Afterward, he headed out to get something to eat after taking a bath. He left Raikou behind and headed out with Suika.
