Chapter 32: The noble



Chapter 32: The noble

"System use 3 cards on monster Gacha, 2 on weapon, 3 on skill and 2 on function!"

[Drawing please wait]

*Ding*

Acquired Goblinx2, Kobold, Swordx2, Driving, KI control, Fire magic, Transformation card, Upgrade card.

Ed reviewed each card and was dissatisfied. The only seemingly good things he got were the function cards and the KI control.

"System how come I got a Driving skill when there are no cars in this world?" Ed had to ask about how he got such a skill.

[The driving skill isn't limited to modern vehicles. It can be used to ride on animal mounts and manipulate carriages and similar vehicles] Ed thought about what the system said and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Such a skill was actually valuable.

"And about the KI control, shouldn't I already be able to manipulate my QI? Do I really need such a skill?" Ed had indeed used his QI in attacks before so he was skeptical about the skill he got.

[Although you used you Qi it can't be said that you can control your QI. Such a skill will allow you to have a head start compared to others since people can't start to control their QI until they break past the heavenly Establishment rank]

"That makes sense. Then should I be able to fly and use KI attacks like in those anime when I'm skilled enough?" Ed was excited at such a thought.

[You can do anything others could do]

Ed was now convinced by the system and crushed the driving and KI control skill cards. He ignored the other cards since they couldn't benefit him for now.

He then activated the KI control ability and started focusing his KI on his palms. Soon enough he could see energy forming between his hands and was excited. A normal human was able to fly in less than a week, so in Ed's case, he should be able to do it in even less time.

Ed spent the entire night trying to control his KI until he could feel like he grasped the principle. As morning came around Ed had already achieved floating. It won't be long before he could fly at high speeds.

Since Ed didn't sleep during the night, he asked Alice that it was okay not to bring breakfast today and went to sleep. Raikou and Suika accompanied Ed during his training so they were tired as well and the three fell asleep.

Ed was sleeping peacefully until loud noises and crashes woke him up. The sound came from the dining area downstairs. Ed was worried so he got down to check on Alice and her family.

When Ed got downstairs he found a man with a haughty-looking man holding Alice's hand while she had tears rolling down her cheeks. The man kept shouting at the surroundings saying that the girl belonged to him now. Ed could guess what was going on here; after all, it happened quite a lot in most novels and stories.

Ed thought up of a way to end this dispute peacefully. He didn't want to fight and show his powers for no reason. Ed got back to his room and used a short teleport to get down to the ground; he didn't want to jump as he might attract unwanted attention. He teleported when no one was looking, and was now in front of the inn's entrance. He had Raikou and Suika wait in the room.

Ed opened the door and entered the inn as if he was not just inside.

"You, what do you think you are doing to my fianc?" Ed pointed at the man and blurted out some unthinkable things.

"Huh? Your fianc? You must be dreaming go back before you get hurt" The man ignored Ed.

"I'm being serious release her" Ed continued speaking.

"Who do you think you are to order me?!" The man looked pissed this time.

"I'm the Avalon kingdom first prince, Edward Avalon!" Ed spoke with dominance and the surroundings got quiet. Everyone knew of the Avalon kingdom, the kingdom whose king is at Heavenly Establishment. Even the man looked like he was rethinking his choices.

"If you really are a noble then, what are you doing in such a rundown inn?!" Alice's family looked hurt when their prized inn was called rundown.

"You seem to be a noble yourself. So what are you doing here?" Ed replied with the same question.

The man looked like he couldn't speak anymore and let go of Alice's hand. "Humph I can get girls like her anytime I want! Consider yourself lucky Edward Avalon. Next time we meet I won't be so nice" He then left the inn looking dejected.

"Thank you for your help, your highness" Eric spoke to Ed as if he was a stranger, which made Ed feel a little bit sadand awkward.

"No need to call me your highness I'm still the same Ed who enjoys taking baths. Besides you and Alice took care of me in these couple of days I was here, so just think of it as me repaying you back" Ed smiled and waved his hands at them. However the family of three kept thanking Ed, even the mother who he had just met kept thanking him nonstop. It seemed like no one noticed that Ed, who should have been resting in his room just entered the inn from outside.

Ed accepted their thanks and got back to his room. Thanks to his quick thinking he changed his clothes to some noble looking clothes, which helped him in his act. If he had gotten out in his armor things might not have ended so smoothly.

Ed got back to sleep thinking that he must leave the city tomorrow. He revealed his identity now so he couldn't just sit around, noble identities did bring trouble along with it after all.

Ed didn't wake up until it the sun was setting down. He went down to get something to eat since he didn't eat anything for almost a day now. When he got down Alice kept avoiding him while looking red all over her face.

Ed knew she was feeling embarrassed about being called his fianc and decided to leave her alone. Her embarrassment would soon go away anyway. After getting the food, Ed went back to his room and ate with Raikou and Suika. The three decided to go on a tour of the city one last time since he was leaving tomorrow.
