The threat

[Using Upgrade cardx3 please wait]

*Ding*

Goblin Upgraded into Hobgoblin.

Goblin Upgraded into Hobgoblin.

Kobold Upgraded into High kobold.

The three monsters each had a sphere of light surround them. After emerging from it all of them changed drastically. The two goblins both had grown double their size. They were about a head shorter than Ed and their green color was now darker. The Kobold was now larger than standing at about 2 meters; his previous brown was now a shade of silver.

"System if I were to give them weapons, would they always have it when I summon them?" Ed had some things to confirm with the system.

[Yes they would count as being a part of the monster and stay with them even in their card form]

'Great!' Ed crushed some of the sword cards that he never used and gave one to each of the monsters.

"I'll be going to rest for now; I'll also recall you guys. Tomorrow we'll be training for a while so be ready" Ed recalled the three after they nodded confirming their understanding. He then summoned Suika and the two went to sleep.

Ed had formulated his plans for tomorrow but he would first have to pass a day in the academy. There were too many distractions but he had to stay here for a while at least before leaving.

Ed didn't sleep much as it was already late by the time he went to bed. However, he was used to a disturbed sleep schedule so it didn't affect him a lot.

In the morning, Ed woke up and washed his face. He also got Raikou and Suika to wake up and asked them what they wanted to do. Suika wanted to come with him while Raikou preferred to stay and sleep. It was understandable since he had nothing to do in the academy anyway and it would be too boring for him.

"I'll leave you some food over here" Ed got some food out and left it for Raikou since he wouldn't have anything to eat anyway.

Afterward, Ed left and headed to the academy. He met up with Hayato and Emilia on the way and they all started walking to the class. Suika and Emilia played on the road and passed the time walking that way while Ed and Hayato simply watched over them.

In a couple of minutes, they got to their class and entered, they sat in seats close to each other and Ed got the seat next to the window. 'It's like I'm the main character' Ed remembered the usual Cliché of anime and how the MCS always sit next to the window.

After speaking for a while the teacher came and entered the room, immediately he noticed Suika and stared for a while before turning his attention back to the students. He had black hair and looked like lacked sleep as he had black circles under his eyes. He also seemed to be young at around 28 years old.

"Welcome class. I'll be teaching you for this whole year but I don't care if we get along or not. I hope you won't bother me and I won't bother you either. If you have any questions don't ask them since it'll be troublesome" The teacher kept speaking and every time he finished a sentence people's faces turned sour even more. Only Ed found this teacher to be amusing and had a smile on his face.

"By the way my name is Harry. You can call me teacher, professor or anything as I don't care" Harry just told them he wouldn't want them asking any questions but gave them his name and titles in case they wanted to ask him something. This sent people's head into a swirl of confusion.

Harry started the first lesson and was talking about the theory of QI and its origin. This lasted for about an hour before they moved to their next lesson. The next lesson was about the use of QI and how its conversion to magic is done, everyone was confused by what was happening in the class since the teacher never repeated what he said and he kept talking about high-level concepts. Even Ed had a bit of difficulty keeping up with him.

After the second lesson was done, it was lunchtime so they exited the class and headed to the restaurant to eat. They got there in no time and ordered some food. Emilia ordered some sandwiches while Hayato ordered a noodle based dish that seemed like Ramen. Ed was surprised to see such a dish in this world and ordered it as well. He was a fan of instant noodles and got to enjoy real ramen from time to time, his first authentic ramen experience happened during his trip to Japan.

After getting their food, they headed to an empty table and sat there. Ed didn't forget about Suika and got her the same sandwiches that Emilia got. Those seemed to be one of her favorites so she enjoyed eating them. Suika was now eating by extending her body and shaping it like an arm and then eating it. The actions were very cute and attracted a lot of the females attention, they seemed to like cute round things and Suika who could move just added more charm to herself. Ed even caught the beast woman who attacked him staring at her and smiled. When she saw him she became red and turned her head away.

While they were enjoying they suddenly heard an annoying voice calling out to them which made the food instantly taste bad.

"It seems like the group of failures like to hang out together" It was Norris who seemed to be free. Ed thought that if he didn't exist his life in the academy would be much simpler, but as things were progressing the two would clash at one point.

"Leave us alone" It was Emilia would speak this time as she seemed to be annoyed by his constant harassment.

"Oh it seems like leeches now know how to talk back" Norris didn't waste time and insulted her once more.

"It would be great if you could just move on" Hayato spoke to him but Norris just ignored him and switched his attention to Ed.

"As for you, failure of the Avalon kingdom. I don't know how you got stronger in this last period of time but it would do you better to watch yourself" Norris seemed to know about Ed's condition as it was not exactly a secret of Avalon, and threatened him. However, what he said next enraged Ed in a way he didn't expect before.

"It would do you better to watch out for your little pet's life as well" Norris spoke and reached with his hand towards Suika. Ed immediately reacted and caught his hand while shouting.

"I'd like to see you TRY!" Ed's shout made everyone stop in their tracks.
