Chapter 57: The return
In the morning, Ed continued his hunt once more. He searched for monster nests since they provide the best amount of exp. He found another nest of ants similar to the one from yesterday and decimated it in no time at all. His experience was getting better and his strategy skill helps him come up with creative ways to kill the monsters.
Ed also searched for some strong monsters and hunted them. Although killing monster nest was better, he couldn\'t afford to keep fighting weak monsters. If someday he fought a monster that was a lot stronger than him, he would stand no chance.
He chose an Earth Establishment level 2 monster. This monster was like a leopard and had an unbelievable speed. Ed struggled just to keep up with it.
Feeling that he was in danger, Ed activated his Sharingan as well as his defensive skills. This allowed him to react better to the leopard. However, he still needed Raikou\'s help to kill it. Cross ranking kills were still quite difficult for him at this instant.

Obtained 5000 exp.
Acquired Gacha ticket.
This exp was what Ed had needed to level up. He was now at King Establishment level 2. He also had five Gacha tickets and was thinking how to get the other five. It became a habit for him to use the Gacha every time with ten tickets.
Since Ed leveled up and it was already in the afternoon, he decided to stop for the day and prepare to get back. But first, he cooked something for him and his companions and then headed back to the capital. He was quite the distance away from it but only needed one hour to get back thanks to Raikou.
When he was close enough, he got Raikou to go in his shadow and he continued on foot. In the capital, Ed went to buy some stuff from the market. He got some meat and vegetables to cook with and also asked when the auction would happen. He did not forget about the cockatrice meat that he ate before. The auction was going to happen in two weeks which Ed considered lucky since he wasn\'t going to have to wait for some year or something.
Ed also bought some medicinal herbs and blacksmithing materials. He was thinking about making some high leveled weapons for the three monsters since their performance would improve a lot if that happened.
It was getting late and Ed needed to head back to the academy, but before doing so he dropped by Eri and the children. They were happy to see him but quickly had a sad face since he needed to leave. He promised to spend more time with them next time and finally made his way to the castle.
"Master Ed, welcome back" The guard in the gates greeted Ed which shocked him. He didn\'t expect that guard would know his name let alone greet him like they were his personal retinues.
"Thank you. May I ask how you know my name?" Ed couldn\'t help but ask him with a wry smile on his face.
"We\'ve been asked to memorize the faces of all students to make it easier to identify if an outsider wanted to sneak in" The guard gave Ed some explanation which he found logical. But he then continued "You are also famous among guards" Ed was surprised and asked him again.
"Famous? How?"
"Everyone knows how you were not a cultivator and now you defeated the famous Leon from Avalez kingdom. You may not know it but he is considered a genius. Plus you showed that Norris his place. No one likes him because of his attitude" The guard seemed very excited while speaking with Ed.
"I see. Well, thanks for continuing the good work" Ed didn\'t know what to tell the guard so he just left. He was becoming famous which was something he wanted to avoid. But it seems like fame follows the powerful no matter what they do.
Ed got on the magic circle and teleported back to the academy. He went straight to his room and took a bath. He had hunted a lot of monsters and the smell of blood was stuck on him. His monsters also took a bath and all of them ate once more.
Ed went outside and met up with Hayato and then Emilia. Both of them told him that they went to the capital but only for a brief time. They spend most of their time cultivating. He didn\'t see Ellie or Stephanie anywhere so he just decided to get back to his room and train.
He checked his Inventory and noticed he had quite a bit of useless items laying there. Suddenly he remembered that the Inventory had another function that he forgot about.
"System exchange all the items in the Inventory except the Function cards!" Ed had long since forgotten about the Exchange function since it was only mentioned to him once.
[Exchanging please wait]
*Ding*
Acquired Gacha ticketx5.
Ed didn\'t know whether he was lucky or unlucky. He had gotten exactly 5 Gacha tickets which he wanted to complete ten. However, he had more items in his Inventory. \'Next time I\'ll ask for twenty cards\' He thought.
"Use 5 gacha tickets on Skills and 5 on Function" Ed distributed his draws.
[Drawing please wait]
*Ding*
Obtained Fire magic, Driving, Shunpo, Nen, Haggling, Upgrade cardx3, Transformation card, Healing card.
Looking at the skills he had gotten, Ed was more than surprised. Nen was a very known power which was useful in so many ways. Ed was also thinking about practicing another movement skill, but now he didn\'t need it. Shunpo would be more than enough.

Hello everyone! Ed is getting some more awesome skills. Everyone knows about Nen i assume, but Shunpo is a movement skill that shinigami use in Bleach in case you didn\'t know. There also some variations of it but i went with Shunpo.
If you see any mistakes point them out. Enjoy.
