38 Cooking (1/2)

After the mock battle ended sensei called most of the grey class students and failed them. The ones he failed are those who fled from the battle. So now our class of thirty-seven had become a class of twenty-nine.

”Now that is over with, I now know the way all of you fight. The real class will be starting next week. In the meanwhile, you guys can think of ways to get stronger. Oh, and as for the broken weapons, the school will provide you with new ones. Class dismissed.” He left as abruptly as he came.

As Tsukiyomi and I were about to leave for the next class, Len appeared in front of us. ”THAT WAS INCREDIBLE EDGE-KUN! You finished the mock battle in less than seven minutes and against thirty-four people. There was even a red-clad mixed in and you guys still won without a single scratch.”

”Is that so?” I answered with a weak voice. This guy's energy seems to have doubled after the mock battle. I sighed in resignation to his boundless energy.

”Umm. Len sorry we got to go we still have another class to attend.”

”Really what is it? Sword fighting class? Survival class? Magic enhancement class? So what is it?”

”It's a cooking class.” With that one line, Len looked at me and Tsukiyomi and started laughing. ”That's a joke right Edge-kun.” I shook my head in response, which of course surprised Len.

”Why do you need to take cooking classes?”

”I'm sorry can't answer that question without dying.” With that last line, Tsukiyomi and I retreated.

While we were walking towards our next class, I could hear some interesting conversations.

”Have you heard about the true humanity?”

”What is that a name of a race, like true vampires?”

”No, it's a cult proclaiming humans should dominate every other race.”

”So just a bunch of crazies, wanting to rule the world. Why do they even think humans should dominate, it's already hard enough to keep up with the other races?”

'True Humanity?' That sounded a bit interesting to me. Back in my old world, there were only humans and demons so both sides thought of wanting to become the dominant race. On the other hand, in this world, there seem to be multiple races. Well, this world does seem to be bigger, it also has stronger monsters, actually, everything in this world is above the things in my old world.

While I was thinking about various things, I suddenly heard Tsukiyomi's voice.

”Hey Edge, what did you mean back then? When you said to that boy Len, that if you answer his question you will die?” I started sweating it seems like even if I don't say it I'll die. I smiled at Tsukiyomi and answered.
