The training

After getting back from his market trip, Ed decided to check out his current state while training so he headed to the training grounds used by his family members.

While on his way, he met a handsome looking young man no older than him heading towards his father's room. He recognized this young as Griffin, the number one disciple of the glory sect. He was also the one that is most likely to reach the heavenly establishment in this sect.

While passing by Ed, Griffin greeted him with a smile "Hello young master Edward".

Ed couldn't help but return his greeting thinking that he was a cheerful fellow; however, he couldn't help but shake the feeling that something was wrong with him. It was just a feeling so he decided to let go of it and move on.

Finally, Ed got to the training grounds and then proceeded to try out his Murata-tou along with his One-sword style.

Although Ed never used a sword in his life he could feel like he was connected to his sword, sword movements kept popping up in his head one after the other.

He could now perform almost all basic sword skills such as overhead strikes and counter strikes, however, he could not perform the more complicated skills, as his was body was still too weak to perform them.

Ed kept training for about 2 hours and then started to rest. It was the most training he had done in his life, but the extra stats he got before helped him out. He even got extra stats in Str and Sta as well as Agl this time.

"System show me my stats currently"

Ed felt a little disappointed that his evaluation didn't change for a bit. But he still got back to training after his res; this time he wanted to test the new sword he got and regretted not being able to use It alongside his Murata-tou.

"System, is there any way to learn how to use 2 swords?"

[Host can try to learn how to use them by continuous training or use the Upgrade card he got earlier]

Ed then remembered that he had gotten some cards when he used the Gacha for the first time.

"System use the Upgrade card on the One-sword style skill"

[Confirm use of Upgrade card?]

"Yes!!" Ed didn't hesitate at all since he knew Two-sword style skills can help him a lot with both offense and defense.

*Ding*

Acquired Two-sword style.

"System will I still be able to use one sword skills even after losing the skill?" Ed couldn't help but ask since he noticed his One-sword style skill was replaced.

[Yes. Since the skill was upgraded not removed, all previous skills can still be used]

Ed felt relieved after hearing what the system said since he was wondering whether to use the Upgrade card on his sword skill or the Sharingan. But since his body still can't keep up with the use of the Sharingan it was better to upgrade the One-sword style.

After equipping both Murata-tou and his new sword, which he named Murasame, he took a stance similar to the Niten Ichi Ryu, which made him look very imposing. Ed also activated his Sharingan wanting to get used to it and started training that way.

It took him 10-12 minutes before collapsing to the ground this time, but this training helped improve a lot as he gained bonuses in all of his stats.

Ed noticed that he was sweating a lot and decided to take a bath, It was his first bath in almost a week!! He didn't get the chance to take the bath as he was pretending to be injured before but now there was no problem.

As he turned around to make his way for the bath, he noticed his little sister Bella sitting there with her eyes sparkling with anticipation. He immediately got a chill thinking that she saw his red eyes because of the Sharingan. But his fears were soon swept away after she spoke.

"Brother what were those moves that you just did?!! they were so beautiful!"Bella said with excitement in her voice.

'Seems she didn't notice after all...' Thinking that he told her "It's just something I picked up after watching my dad and general Leonard all these years" Ed remembered the name of the sword loving general at a convenient time.

Even then Bella didn't stop her assault " But brother your moves were a lot more beautiful, can you please teach me how to do them?!"

"Sure sometimes let us both train together" Bella was only 8 years old yet she showed such interest in sword training; Ed thought that this was the difference between his previous world and this one.

After promising to train Bella she finally let him go and find the bath. Ed then asked Becky to prepare his clothes, as if he tried to do it himself they would all think he was possessed or something.

Entering the bath he felt both nostalgic and surprised. The bath looked like a public bathroom but it was bigger and more luxurious with 2 lion heads constantly pouring the hot water into the bathtub.

As he was about to enter the bath he caught his reflection in the water and thought that this was the first time he saw his face in this world. He had features similar to his father more than his mother but he was still a handsome man nonetheless. The only weird thing he noticed was that his eyes were black rather than blue like his parents; even his brother who had heterochromia was still normal compared to him.

Ed entered the bath and was ready to relax when he suddenly heard the bath door opening and immediately got a fright. It was his father Arthur.

'Why the hell is my father here?!! Becky should have told him I was here!!'

Arthur then broke the silence "Hey Ed, how have you been? I heard you were here and wanted to have a talk with you"
