Fantasy System

Chapter 169: Dining Hall

Ed studied the map for a couple of seconds before teleporting them both back. Ellie saw Emilia and her eyes teared up.

"Emi!" She tackled Emilia in a hug and embraced her while crying. Ellie acted tough, but she was a nice girl on the inside. Emilia rubbed her head while faintly smiling. It looks like she already spoke to Hayato as both of them was standing there when Ed got back.

"She gets a hug and I get a punch to the face" Ed spoke under his breath while looking at the two. He walked towards Hayato and showed him the Map. Both of them discussed it a little, thinking if it's authentic or not. Ellie already killed the sixth star, so they couldn't torture him for information.

"Master." Garu and the others walked towards Ed. Alicia was speaking with Emilia on the side. They weren't exactly friends, only acquaintances. Garu, Gobuta, and Merry gave him the spatial rings they plundered from the members of the five stars. Ed took out the one he had, it was Lilliana's. Emilia noticed this and gave Ed Norris' ring. Ed checked the rings and found two more maps. One in Norris' ring, and one in Lilliana's. The maps were identical to the one they had but were damaged, making it hard to decipher the words and such.

"I'll take care of the words; I need someone who can draw maps so we can recreate them." Ed planned to create as many maps as they needed. He would then circulate them around countries that are fighting Blood sect. this way; they would have the advantage by knowing the position of the enemy.

"I can draw," Hayato told him.

'Of course, we don't need to find someone else.' Ed thought to himself that most situations in fantasy novels or movies happen this way. They never need to find someone skilled at something, as their friends would already be proficient at it.

"Yo-you bastards! You guys ruined the country!" The guards who were knocked out by Ed earlier started regaining consciousness. The leader looked at the ruined walls and cursed Ed and the others.

"No, we didn't. It was already ruined when we got here. You guys simply failed to realize it." Ed told him and then teleported everyone back to Avalon.

It was already night time once they returned. Elizabeth had free time now that Arthur had returned to the kingdom. She was waiting for them in the courtyard, where Ed had left the sigil. She noticed Emilia, the new addition to the team that had left.

"You must be Emilia. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your mother. I had the privilege of meeting her once. I can proudly say that it was my honor." Elizabeth gave her condolences to Emilia, who accepted them wholeheartedly. These words were a comfort to her, as in the last month she heard nothing but bad words about her mother. Finding someone that appreciated her meant a lot more to Emilia than anyone thought.

"Thank you. It means a lot to me that you say that." Emilia's eyes turned red but she didn't cry. She had already cried more than enough for one day. Instead, she put on a bright smile. Elizabeth felt relieved to see her like that and offered her to come inside to rest. Before they could enter, a figure emerged from inside, running very fast.

"Eeee miii liiii AAAA Suuu!" Suika appeared and instantly tackled Emilia. It was a harder tackle than Ellie's. Suika was always fond of Emilia. Both of them had spent a lot of time together when Ed was in the academy at Scale kingdom. Emilia was tackled to the ground and looked confused. Once she registered what happened, she smiled.

"Suika! YouYou've gotten bigger!" Emilia didn't know how to comment on Suika's human form as it was her first time seeing it. She got up and hugged Suika for a while before heading inside. A little while later Bella and Becky appeared. Bella was training with Becky while Suika was watching when she suddenly left in a hurry.

"Bella, Becky. Why don't you train with me?" Ed proposed while looking at them. It had been a while since he trained with Bella, and he never did with Becky so this was a good chance. Both of them agreed. Bella was obviously ecstatic to train with Ed, but Becky wanted to refuse at first. It seems like she was too shy to train with Ed as she was stronger than him before, but was left out far behind now. Of course, she didn't tell this to anyone. She agreed only after Bella's persistence.

Ed was very surprised once he started training with them. Bella had made a wonderous improvement, as her speed and power were greatly enhanced. She was very proficient at using her blade, which showed just how much time she spent training with it. Bella focused on speed, which pushed Ed to think about having her train with Gobuta. Seeing that he is the speed specialist in his team. Becky, on the other hand, focused on strength, which was clear with her use of a great sword. 'Gobuta would be her ideal training partner.' Ed thought to himself. They used the same type of weapon, so he was sure Becky would benefit from it.

Their training session lasted for about two hours. They trained until it was dinner time. Ed headed to his room before dinner, where he created a dimension in which he took a bath. He thought that it would be a waste of time if he waited for Bella and Becky to finish theirs. After he finished, He went towards the dining hall and met Emilia on the way. She had also taken a bath, and all the blood, grime, and dust was cleaned off. She was wearing a set of pajamas which seemed to be Elizabeth's.

"You look better." Ed smiled at her as he said what he thought.

"All thanks to you." Both of them walked towards the noisy dining hall. The dining hall where you could hear a pin drop only two years ago.
