Chapter 25: The Ethereal meets my friends

Gerard's POV:

As per usual Eri and I went to Edge's house to train. It was supposed to be the same as usual. Edge, Sarah, Eri, and I training together then having fun outside. But when we reached the mansion Eri and I were stunned speechless.

Standing beside Edge was, as usual, his little sister Sarah but it was not only her. Somebody else was standing beside him. It was a beautiful girl; wearing a white blouse that showed a bit of her chest, and a short red skirt. She was also wearing a black dress over her blouse which only covered her arms and a bit of her back, and most noticeable of all were her black hair and ruby red eyes.

The girl looked at us, just one look and I knew she was strong overwhelmingly so. She wasn't releasing killing intent as Edge did at that one time. Simply her presence was enough to instill fear. Who was she? I looked at Eri she too was showing the same surprised face as me. My thoughts were disrupted by Edge calling me like usual.

"Hey Gerard, Eri you're finally here."

"Friends of yours?... I see they too seem like talented kids, but still not on your level." The maiden in black looked at us appraising our worth. I closed in on Edge and whispered.

"Hey Edge who is that beautiful girl. Don't tell me she is your fiance?" Edge looked at me dumbfounded.

"No, no she is nothing like that. Fine, then it looks like I need to explain the situation properly." Edge then started to explain to both me and Eri what had happened how he fought monsters and met the Ethereal called Tsukiyomi. Learning more about here, Eri and I introduced ourselves to her and after our introductions.

"So she's an Ethereal, my dad told me stories about them. One of the strongest races, at one point there were seen as Gods. Though they are few in numbers compared to other races, one of them is said to be as strong as a whole army. Yet even with that power, they are not invincible as they have one fatal weakness and that is their mana can never regenerate. So they need a host or contractor to use their full strength. So you're telling me you made a contract with an Ethereal. How ridiculous can you get Edge?"

I sighed my amazing friend looked at me confused and asked.

"Huh, why are you calling me ridiculous? Also, you know so much about Ethereals." This guy sometimes I'm not sure if he's smart or stupid, If his sensitive or dense.

"Well, all I know are from the stories my dad told me. Also based on my dad's stories, it is very rare for a human to see an Ethereal. It is also very rare that an Ethereal makes a contract with a human. I don't know the reasons but in a sense, that would make you ridiculously amazing." Edge then looked at the Ethereal called Tsukiyomi.

"Hey, Tsukiyomi what's he talking about?" The Ethereal called Tsukiyomi looked at Edge with a very mischievous smile.

"Kukuku, indeed it is rare for Ethereals such as myself to make a contract with a human. We usually only do so if there is no other choice. Seeing as humans have very little mana capacity compared to other races such as Demons and Elves, but you are special Edge. Be happy for you have such a great amount of mana. Not only humans your mana capacity is greater than most races it's truly a sight to behold."

Edge looked at Tsukiyomi bewildered by the expression of intoxication on her eyes.

"Is my mana truly that great?"

"Of course it is! If it wasn't, I wouldn't make the contract much less give you my first kiss." Upon hearing that one line I was surprised but what surprised me more was I felt a large amount of killing intent beside me.

It was Eri she was releasing massive amounts of killing intent and all her focus was on Tsukiyomi. [Lightning step], Eri drew her sword and was by Tsukiyomi's side. Eri then used [Flashing wind] multiple sword slashes were made in an instant. Yet all of them were avoided and it seems like Tsukiyomi didn't even move from her spot.

Eri was about to do another technique but was restrained by Edge. I was so focused at Eri that I didn't notice that Edge was already behind Eri.

"Kukuku, are you jealous of me little lady? But those moves of yours were pretty good... Oh, you're a warbeast. You guys have little mana compared to others so you compensate with physical abilities, but you seem different. Your mana capacity is more than the average human. Kukuku even your friends are exceptional, how great Edge."

Eri looked at Edge she was glaring at him. "Pervert" with her stoic expression Eri said this to Edge which dealt massive mental damage.

"I'm not a pervert!" Edge shouted and started explaining about the contract and such. Eri and I listened in silence after the explanation Eri simply and clearly said, "Pervert."

Edge knelt on the ground feeling depressed. Sarah patted her Brother's back while Tsukiyomi giggled in the sidelines.

After a few minutes, Edge stood up he spoke as if nothing has happened. "Well, now that our introductions are over I want to tell you guys Tsukiyomi will help us in training."

"Kukuku, be grateful to me." Tsukiyomi said in an arrogant tone.

"Hey Edge what can she teach us? Does she know the four styles?" I asked Edge. He then looked at Tsukiyomi. "Kukuku, boy I know your four sword styles. If I was ranked by your ranking system my rank would be like this:

Fire style: A class

Water style: A class

Wind style: A class

Void style: A class

"I studied the sword styles of you humans to pass the time. It also to protect myself as I was waiting for my contractor."

What a great rank maybe we could get better faster if she teaches us. Among the four of us, only Eri seemed to be upset about her teaching us. Well, I do get what your feeling Eri making your rival teach you must be irritating.

Also, the bonehead that both of you are fighting for doesn't seem to notice what's happening.

"I'm not going to lose to you!" Eri declared while looking at Tsukiyomi, in which Tsukiyomi responded with a smile.

"You're not going to win, one way or another he's mine." Edge oblivious as to what was happening was talking to his little sister.
