After recovering some of his KI, Ed made his way to the flag . Along the way, he met up with Ellie who looked a bit injured albeit nothing too serious .

"It looks like you won your fight as well" Ellie didn't look surprised at all . It seems like she could guess how strong Ed really is after his fight with Norris .

"It looks like it was the same for you . I guess it was an easy fight" Ed wanted to humor Ellie a little and praised her .

"Of course it was!" Ed couldn't help but smile at her response . The both of them continued their way to reach the flag . A little while later they spotted it with a man standing next to it .

"There might be someone else standing watch near the flag so one of us should attack while the other waits . In case no one appears we can both advance" Ed laid out another plan that seemed logical .



Although Emilia not being here could mean she was fighting someone, Ed didn't dismiss the fact that she just couldn't find the flag . Another theory was that no one made their way to their flag .

"I'll be going first and you could follow me afterward" Ed decided that he would move first since he was not injured at all and could use some ranged attacks .

"Alright, but I'll be going for the flag even if you were losing" Ellie accepted while smashing her fists together indicating her fighting spirit .

Ed moved first and rushed at his opponent from his blind spot . He wasn't increasing his speed by his movement skill but only using the stealth effect . However before he could reach the flag, his opponent reacted and drew his sword while turning towards Ed . The two of them engaged in a close ranged battle since the man seemed to lose the advantage he had after being ambushed

On Ed's team' side, Hayato was now engaged in a ranged fight with a girl from C class . It was the last missing person from their team . Although Hayato was injured, he had Stephanie's support which acted as his shield and thanks to his overall abilities, he was more than enough to stall the opponent . However, that was all he could do, stall . If this was to continue for a while he would definitely lose .

His fight lasted for a while before he started losing his QI and breath . Stephanie was about to eat through her QI reserve after using magic for so long .



"It seems it's time to end this" The girl seemed to sense them weakening and decided move closer and finish them off . Hayato saw this and braced himself; he would protect the flag at all costs . He believed Ed would win in case he reached the flag so he would buy as much time as possible .

However before the girl could get to them, someone rushed in from the forest and attacked her . It was Emilia who was missing up till now .

"It seems like it was the right decision to get back!" Emilia brought out a rapier and started fighting the girl . The latter also used her sword and the two of them started fighting . Emilia seemed highly skilled in swordsmanship as her thrusts were sharp and fast . The girl used her all in order to follow the attack patterns .

After fighting for a while, Emilia started using magic as well and burned the right hand of her opponent . This caused her to lose her grip on the sword and eventually give up . At first, she wanted to engage in a ranged magic fight, but she had used a lot of magic while fighting Hayato and Stephanie while her opponent seemed unharmed . This meant that Emilia did not fight at all and was in top shape .

"You okay Hayato? Stephanie?" Emilia turned back to check up on her teammates .

"I'm good"

"I'm alright thanks!" Hayato replied naturally while Stephanie seemed as nervous as always .

Back at Ed's place, he was now overwhelming his opponent with his sword skills alone . His opponent could use earth as well as wind magic but that meant nothing for Ed . He was now proficient enough to dodge and slash with no time in between . His eyesight had also improved enough to have an overview of the battlefield . The reason Ed didn't finish his opponent off was to draw out his enemy in case one was hiding .

However, after not appearing for so long, Ed simply decided to end the fight now . "Ellie!" He called out to his teammate while using fire magic to surround his enemy . There was no reason to finish him off since getting the flag means the game's end .

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Ellie rushed out and grabbed the flag in less than 2 seconds after Ed's shout . As soon as they got the flag a siren sounded off to mark the end of the mack-battle .

Ed stopped his magic and his opponent got out with a wry smile on his face . "If you're this strong why bother hide your strength and go to E class" He couldn't help but ask Ed this question .

"It's simply more fun this way, don't you think?" Ed only told him this before making his way back to the rest of his team . Along the way, he met up with Leon and gave him some of the pills he had concocted . He didn't give him the potions but this was still enough to heal most of his minor injuries . They also met up with the girl that fought Ellie and Leon put her on his back . Soon enough they were at Ed's team's area and Leon took back his two teammates while heading off back to C class .

"Are you okay Hayato?" Ed noticed that Hayato had been injured while Emilia and Stephanie looked fine .

"I'm alright . I just let my guard down . Good job making us win . " Hayato was scratching his face while smiling .

"It was a team effort! Take these" Ed also gave Hayato some pills which were a bit stronger than the ones he gave Leon . Hayato instantly felt better and thanked Ed .

The team returned back to the monitor room and the rest of the class was overjoyed .

"Great job out there!" "Good job winning" "Not everyone from our class lost!" Most of the class was glad that Ed's team won . However, some proud nobles didn't admit that Ed's team was better than them .

"Yes yes, good job . Now let us talk about your rewards" Harry intervened in time to stop the class's noise and started talking about the rewards he had mentioned before .
