18 Shokugeki no Ragna

Ragna even after buying an expensive skill, he still had more O.P points incoming. He wondered what to buy next using his points.

...

In Astrakane, the city lord was hearing the report from one of the shadow guards following Elise. "I see so he's that powerful... No even the supposed Sword genius of the former era wasn't able to scratch him... Continue following my daughter but do not in any circumstances provoke Ragna... He's obviously allowing you to follow, because he doesn't acknowledge you people as a threat, but the moment he does, then you better wish for a quick death." The shadow bowed, and left.

The city lord was amused by his daughter's decision, 'did she sense a greater potential for growth beside the youth? No matter, no daughter of Roland Astrakane can be a weak sheep.'

...

Ragna now had a new problem, he had no place to stay, and to top it off, he had two people who needed constant care, also the money he had was going to disappear sooner or later, so he needed to find a way to make money.

Ragna remembered one of the novels he read before, it was about a man with a cooking system, he had tons of money, because for him leveling up required crystals or something. When Ragna remembered this, he asked the system if he could gain cooking skills. The system answered, "As long as its a skill the host has read, or seen the system can provide it." 'Ok then how about items, can you give me items in relation to the skill?' "Yes" that simple answer was all Ragna needed.

'System show me the best cooking skills I can acquire permanently.'

"Due to cooking not being something that can show how O.P the host is, the price for skills in this branch are cheaper, also due to the low amount of data the host has in regards to the skill, it is also a bit less, than most of the other skill sets."

"All Beginner Cooking Skill (All knowledge tree) (30,000 points)

"All Intermediate Cooking Skill (All knowledge tree) (70,000 points)

"All Expert Cooking Skill (All Knowledge tree) (100,000 points)

"All Master Cooking Skill (All knowledge tree) (150,000 points)

'Wait! System I said all the cooking skills I can acquire now, how much points do I actually have?'

"Answering host's question, host current O.P points after deduction of recently bought skill, is 230,000 O.P points."

'Shit! That much?! So fighting that old man Chu Feng actually gave me something.' Ragna was too focused in the fight with old man Chu Feng, that he didn't even notice the accumulation of O.P points.

'Of course with this much I'm buying the best, I'll buy the All Master Cooking Skill.'

Once Ragna bought the skill, a flood of knowledge and, skill came to him. The him before, who hasn't even held a kitchen knife, now knows many ways how to use the kitchen knife.

Now that I have the skills, next thing to have is the equipment and ingredients. 'Hey system how can I use the cooking skill without equipment, and ingredients. You said it right, you'll give items in relation to the skills I bought...'

The system didn't respond immediately like it normally did, it was like it was deliberating, or was it loading?

"The equipment, and ingredients can be provided to the host, but host needs to use O.P points to purchase them." Ragna smiled, that was what he was expecting anyway.

'Fine then, I still have 80,000 points anyway. Ok then... Now the next step would be acquiring, a shop or a stall of some sort, good thing I have little loli with me, bet she can get me a shop with her father's connections.'

Ragna looked at the sole daughter of the Astrakane's city lord. He approached her full of smiles, like a pedophile looking at his prey. Sensing a somehow different mood from Ragna, Elise moved away from him.

"Hey brat, why are you fleeing from me?" Ragna said with scowl, seeing his expression changed, Elise ran back and hugged Ragna's arm.

"Big brother, its the normal big brother! Please don't show that creepy smile again, you looked like one of those gross uncles trying to give me candy."

Hearing her statement Ragna took some damage. 'Is my smile really that bad?'

"Whatever brat! There something your big brother wants from you."

Hearing Ragna's words, Elise tilted her head confused, "what does big brother want from me? Don't tell me Big brother wants me to be his bride." Elise gasped and covered her tiny mouth with her hand.

"That's not it brat! Who the hell wants a loli for a wife! I'm not a lolicon!" Ragna shouted.

"Then what does Big brother want from me?"

"The next town we're going to, does your father have any connections with higher ups there?"

"Cromer City? Yes, father does have some dealings with the city lord there. He actually owes father some things... Why do you ask Big brother?"

"Do you want to start a business with this big brother of yours?" Ragna whispered the devil's whisper to the little loli's ears.

Baiyi, who was formally accepted in the Heavenly Sword sect as an inner disciple, was now looking for ways to get stronger with the fastest way possible, unable to find any answers in the sect, he sought answers elsewhere.

The Dark hand guild, was an information gathering guild, as well as an assassination guild. They will do almost anything for the right price. Baiyi tried to acquire information in the guild, but was unable to purchase the information he required due to the lack of funds. Baiyi couldn't really ask for more money from his father due to his recent behavior, so he grind his teeth and reluctantly took a sect mission, to acquire more funds. 'No matter what, I need to get stronger before the Young Dragons Tournament..." Little did Baiyi know this little mission that he thought would be easy was actually something that would seal his fate.
