Fantasy System-Chapter 8: The preparation

"So you're basically telling me to start leveling up as soon as possible huh..." Ed thought deeply about what the system said and decided on his next course of action.

"System is it possible to have a description of all my skills?"

[Yes it is within the possibilities of the Scan function]

"Then show me"

[Starting scan... please wait]

*Ding*

"System how come I have full mastery of Nitoryu, but not of other skills?" Ed was wondering why there was such a difference.

[Your skills that were learned would obviously start at level 1. As for skills from the Gacha their mastery level will be different most of the times.]

'So it's all up to luck huh... Well, I can be considered lucky for getting a sword skill of full mastery' Ed was grateful for his luck in the Gacha.

After sorting out his skills he immediately left his room and headed to where his father was at. Becky accompanied him all the way and announced his arrival to his father and he then went in to talk to him.

"Ed, you're feeling better I assume?" Arthur kept checking out his son's body.

"Yes father sorry for the trouble"

"Well your mother wanted to eat me alive after finding out you passed out, but she should calm down now" Arthur looked like he remembered some bad memories.

'I should make sure not to piss off my mom' Ed made sure to take note of that.

"Father I want to ask for your permission to leave the city to hunt!" Ed told his father what he wanted. According to the system he needed to level-up for better results. And Ed himself didn't want to stay as a weak human.

"Why would you want to do that? You should have everything you want here" Arthur asked with concern as well as anticipation.

"I want to get stronger." Ed exposed his true feelings with confidence and determination.

"...HAHAHAHA! Very well you can do whatever you want. Just make sure to take Becky with you she should be able to handle anything that happens!" Arthur seemed very satisfied with Ed's answer.

"Thank you, father..." Ed was glad that his father agreed but didn't know why he asked him to take Becky with him. She was a maid, not a knight.

[Host is mistaken; the young maid is at King's establishment so she should be considered quite powerful]

'What the hell?!! Doesn't that mean she's the 2nd most powerful person after my father?!' Ed was very surprised that his maid was this powerful.

"Becky make sure he doesn't die at least," Arthur told Becky and got back to his work.

"Understood your majesty"

'Keep me alive ... So if I get hurt it's okay?' Ed found it weird but he was glad as well. This meant he would be given a certain degree of freedom while hunting.

"Becky we will leave today make the necessary preparations "

"Understood young master" Becky then left to do her job while Ed went back to his room. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

After getting to his room he found both his swords and the Kunais he used there waiting for him, he had lost consciousness so he didn't get the chance to take them back.

Ed changed his clothes to ones similar to what his father wore when he was sparring, they were indeed the best for hunting and fighting. As he was prepared to leave he found Becky next to his door.

'WH- that scared didn't she go to prepare?' Ed was scared thinking Becky wouldn't be back so soon.

"Becky, did you prepare what you need?"

"Yes, young master" She simply answered and at that moment Ed noticed the huge sword she was carrying.

Becky was still wearing maid clothes that were quite similar to Ed's previous world, nearly identical, coupled with the 1.4-meter sword gave her quite the contrasting look.

Becky had red hair and red eyes, along with a pretty face. She was a bit older than Ed so that gave her quite the mature charm.

"Then let us depart immediately," Ed said and they both left the castle.

They used a carriage since it would take them too long to leave the city by foot. It only took them about 1 hour and a half to get to their destination.

Ed and Becky got down from the carriage and made their way towards a forest. This was the first time Ed left the city so he was enjoying his time watching the scenery when suddenly, a bush started to move.

'My first enemy! Is it a goblin? Or a slime?!' Ed was both nervous and excited. Suddenly a little rabbit came out of the bush. It wasn't even a horned rabbit or a monster, only a normal simple cute little rabbit.

Ed felt stupid an continued to move on with Becky.

Suddenly the system warned him.

[Host multiple monsters are approaching suggesting for host to get ready]

At the same Becky noticed something and said: "Young master monsters are coming we should get ready".

Ed then drew both of his swords and started waiting for the monsters to come. Not even 30 seconds later around 12 wolves came and surrounded Ed and Becky.

All the wolves had a silver color except for one that was black; Ed thought that would be the leader.

'System can you tell me their cultivation level?' Ed was curious about how strong they would be.

[Host can check their cultivation level with the Scan function. However, if the level is too high you can't see anything]

'Then scan them!'

*Ding*

Name: Silver Wolf

Cultivation: Human establishment.

Name: Black thunder wolf.

Cultivation: Knight establishment.

'It seems this will be a bit of a challenge' Ed was nervous when he saw the cultivation and name of the black wolf.

"Becky you can kill the wolves that attack you but don't interrupt me when I'm fighting" Ed made sure to remind Becky, this was a special occasion to gain a lot of exp in one go.

Becky nodded and then Ed started his assault.
