Previously on “The Hidden Secrets” our MC has found the library and also a woman named Lucy who was secretly an information broker but something made her retire. The MC has also thought about whether he should join an orphanage or just use an abandoned house as his home.
Vale is a major city on Remnant so there would obviously be some parts of Vale which is deserted because of the Grimm however after the Huntsmen clear the place out the council usually leave the place as it is this results in many people to be homeless and these deserted places are where we see Edward currently limping around.
Edward after much thought has realised he’s someone who absolutely refuses to be in the orphanage for at least 3 reasons and more one is that being at the orphanage would leave information about him which would make him no longer have a be invisible status to the people and the higher ups.
The biggest reason is he has already grown up in a family so he doesn't want to be adopted as that would give the adopted family fake love even if it would give him resources that he despondently needs like a safe place.
The last main reason is that he has more freedom as he wouldn't be attached to a family and would be able to do as he pleased for example train, steal, make connections, secret identities and more, the reasons he would make secret identities is because it would give him a layer of protection from those who might might be searching for him.
The broken part of Vale consists of mainly Warehouse, small shops and common factory and since there unimportant the council leaves them alone, thanks to the information that Edward was able to get he knows that although it's stated that there damaged it's only a few walls or a collapsed roof which is fixable some of the factory electricity and water might still work so that's were Edward will be going so he knows where those place's are and will be able to survive.
Looking around Edward can see that the first Warehouse that he has checked is full of rubble and rubbish along with rats and cockroaches along with having a second floor which is full of papers and a few Lien that was on the desk grabbing the lean and putting it in my backpack I also take some of the papers for kindell if I ever need a fire.

Going to the next house that's was livable showed that all the windows were destroyed and that all the furniture was also destroyed this house also had a garage so checking that showed that in the back corner of the room were blood stains alone with bones and In front of the blood was a badly crafted metal spear as it was just a pipe with a sharp tip that could be used to stab things taking it and putting it in the backpack as it could be useful.
Searching the cupboards showed that there was nothing useful and since it was almost midnight Edward chose to stay in this house and sleep in the relatively intact cupboards and search the house for anything that resembles a blanket or pillow if not he could always use his backpack.

"MISS ROSE, that's enough, thank you, now class today we have another student joining us today although he's meant to be in the class above but because of his lack of knowledge in some class, anyway ENTER."
Entering the class we see a boy with black hair and dark brown tips and hot chocolate brown eyes almost in a star like pattern he was wearing the basic male Uniform of black pants and a light green blazer with a light blue tie and light creamy white long sleeve shirt seems to be around 5 or 6.
"Hello everyone my name is Edgar and I enjoy creating things along with cooking. My favourite food is barbeque ribs and I enjoy fighting. My dream is to be able to help people and become a great huntsman.”
"Right well Mr Edgar you can go seat next to Miss Rose since it seems she's the only one without a partner, and since it's only the first day we'll take things slowly."
‘Why does he seem familiar and I’m sure I know that name somewhere maybe Yang would know.’ thought Ruby Rose.
