"Yo, so this is your 'Night Crow' base?"

After finishing the battle with Night Raid, Mika followed Airmid and Kurome to their 'Night Crow' base.

It was a large facility located on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, occupying an extremely vast area.

Here, the 500 elite soldiers previously provided by General Budo had all been reborn, becoming the elite among elites.

"By the way, how is the reporting of the Teigu users going?"

After touring 'Night Crow,' Mika inquired about the Teigu users.

After all, recruiting Teigu users was originally intended to strengthen the secret unit's power.

This was to prepare for seizing all the Empire's power in the future.

At this time, although Mika appeared to hold great power in the Empire on the surface, military affairs were still in General Budo's hands.

Although General Budo was very obedient at the moment, he was destined to be a hidden threat.

After all, the one General Budo was loyal to was the Emperor!

As time passed, who knew when Mika's flaws might be noticed by him.

If that happened, General Budo would eventually become Mika's enemy.

"Hopefully, he won't see through it. After all, he has helped me a lot before!"

Recalling General Budo's loyal demeanor, Mika couldn't help but shake his head.

He really didn't want to kill such a loyal Person!

"As for the Teigu users, we've currently recruited four people: Kurome from the assassination unit, Wave from the navy, Bols from the incineration unit, and Run from the provinces."

"Among the four recruited, only Kurome and Bols have arrived in the Imperial Capital."

"As for Wave and Run, they should still be on their way."

Airmid reported earnestly.

"Eh? Only those four?"

Mika asked curiously.

Although he hadn't recalled carefully, he vaguely remembered that in the original work, the Jaegers had more members.

"Indeed, only those four!"

Airmid nodded.

"In fact, the list Mellie provided me originally had more than just those four; it also included Dr. Stylish from the science unit and Seryu from the police force."

"However, between those two, Seryu serves in the police force. I thought Tatsumi needed her more, so I didn't recruit her."

"As for Dr. Stylish, I don't quite like that kind of person, so I didn't recruit him. But Mellie seems quite interested in him, so she took him."

"I see!"

Mika suddenly understood.

Indeed, since you're recruiting your own subordinates, you have to consider compatibility.

Moreover, this world had been changed by him in many ways, so changes were inevitable.

"As long as you're satisfied!"

Mika said with a light smile.

Then he turned the topic back to Wave.

"After Wave arrives, bring him to the palace. Also, send his Teigu to Gabriel."

"All the other materials are ready; we're just missing a suitable template."

"And once this is done, the plan you mentioned earlier can begin."

Recalling the idea Airmid had proposed earlier, a smile couldn't help but appear on Mika's face.

He never expected that Airmid, who had never fished before, could come up with such a fishing plan.

Truly full of surprises!

"However, Tatsumi's progress needs to be accelerated."

"Night Raid shouldn't dare to act for a while now."

"This is the best time to catch that one."

Thinking of the increasingly smooth operations recently, Mika's smile grew even wider.

All his plans were going so smoothly.

"Clang!"

Two weapons collided fiercely, and the piercing sound firmly attracted the attention of the surrounding police force members.

At this moment, surrounded by the crowd, Tatsumi was continuously exchanging blows with a man wielding dual swords.

Their weapons clashed repeatedly.

And in this confrontation, Tatsumi was clearly in the superior position.

At this time, Tatsumi's opponent was the Teigu user Zanku the Beheader.

He was the opponent Tatsumi needed to face before his skills awakened.

Zanku the Beheader, once the executioner of the largest prison in the Imperial Capital, went insane after continuous killings. He stole the warden's Teigu and took pleasure in beheading people everywhere.

After a long journey, he finally arrived in the Imperial Capital.

But just as he arrived, he heard about Prime Minister Honest's downfall.

At that time, the entire Imperial Capital was in chaos, and security was at its tightest.

So he chose to lay low for a while.

Now, as the situation in the Imperial Capital stabilized, its defenses gradually returned to normal.

At this time, Zanku the Beheader resurfaced.

And began committing crimes in the Imperial Capital.

After receiving Mika's order, Tatsumi had been searching for his traces ever since he joined the Teigu police force.

Finally, on the second day after battling the Night Raid assassins, Tatsumi caught his trail.

Thus, after continuous pursuit, he finally found Zanku the Beheader.

Or rather, Zanku the Beheader found him!

"I heard you fought that Night Raid assassin Akame yesterday, and it was a draw!?"

This was the first thing Zanku said when he met Tatsumi.

Hearing Zanku's inquiry, Tatsumi couldn't help but think to himself, "It would be nice if that were true, but unfortunately, I'm not her match yet."

"Oh? You're not her match? Seems I found the wrong person!"

"After all, those people following you were all saying how intense your battle with Akame was. I thought you were someone like her!"

Looking at the expressionless Tatsumi, Zanku muttered to himself.

"Mind reading, huh? So this is the 'Spectator' Teigu with 'Five Sights'!"

"What a cheat ability!"

Looking at the headband-type Teigu worn by Zanku, Tatsumi couldn't help but sigh.

Others might not know Zanku's Teigu ability, but as the captain of the Empire's police force, Tatsumi naturally knew it.

After all, the original owner of this Teigu was from the Empire.

And this Teigu was once the Empire's.

The 'Spectator' is a Teigu possessing five abilities: Insight, Farsight, X-Ray Vision, Foresight, and Illusion Sight.

Insight can see through a person's thoughts by observing expressions.

Farsight allows one to see distant objects.

X-Ray Vision can see targets unobstructed by barriers.

Foresight can predict the opponent's next move through subtle muscle movements.

Illusion Sight can make the opponent see hallucinations.

Relying on these five abilities, if one encounters someone unaware of the Teigu's abilities, most will be killed upon first meeting.

It was also by relying on this Teigu that Zanku, who was once just an executioner, became a notorious murderous demon!

After learning about the abilities of the 'Spectator' Teigu, Tatsumi felt a sense of familiarity.

Later, he recalled.

The strongest ability among the Five Sights, Foresight, he had seen in Mika.

After confirming with Mika, he learned that within the breathing technique, there was a state called the 'Transparent World.'

Knowing about this state, Tatsumi became very excited.

This meant that as long as he trained hard, he could obtain this Teigu-level ability in the future.

"Oh, you know my abilities? I see, you learned through the Empire!"

"Well, that makes sense, since the original owner of this Teigu wasn't me!"

Reading Tatsumi's mind on his own.

Then commenting to himself.

In a blink of an eye, Tatsumi felt nothing but disgust towards Zanku.

"Oh, you hate me? Then can you defeat me?"

Continuing to read Tatsumi's mind, Zanku shouted loudly.

"Of course I can!"

Tatsumi said coldly.

"Actually, after learning about your abilities, I've already found a way to deal with you."

"And that's to crush you head-on."

Tatsumi knew very well that among the Five Sights of the Spectator, the ones that truly worked in battle were Insight, Foresight, and Illusion Sight.

Among them, while Farsight and X-Ray Vision were convenient for reconnaissance, they were of little use in direct combat.

Unless you're an archer.

But Zanku was not an archer.

As his name suggests, he's a swordsman.

So the abilities he could use were only Insight, Foresight, and Illusion Sight.

Among these three abilities, Illusion Sight is extremely useful for assassination.

Even if it's the first encounter, it can be effective.

But if others know about it, as long as they are strong-willed, they won't be affected.

Therefore, the abilities he could use were only Insight and Foresight.

And these two abilities are mainly about observing and predicting the opponent, helping the Teigu user to counterattack.

Facing such abilities, the more proficient one is in swordsmanship, the harder it is to defeat the opponent.

Because your thoughts are all seen by the opponent.

To break such abilities, you need to attack straightforwardly without any schemes or tricks.

Just the simplest slashes and thrusts.

Tatsumi just needed to be faster, more accurate, and more ruthless.

So what if you know?

My attacks are so straightforward that you can't counter them even if you know.

And Tatsumi attacked just like that.

"Clang!"

Tatsumi's sword struck hard against Zanku's sword.

The strong impact forced Zanku to retreat repeatedly.

The moves Tatsumi used didn't involve any intricate sword techniques, only the most powerful and rough slashes.

Facing Zanku, Tatsumi only needed to activate the Mark and the first stage of 'Fighting Spirit.'

The powerful amplification abilities allowed Tatsumi to overpower Zanku in every attribute.

Thus, after the battle began, Zanku, who once looked down on Tatsumi, kept retreating, unable to gain any advantage in the fight.

Facing his continuous retreat, Zanku couldn't accept it.

In the past, because of Honest's misdeeds, many innocent people were sent to the execution ground and killed by Zanku, the executioner.

Day after day, listening to those people's dying wails, Zanku finally went insane.

He began to have auditory hallucinations, as if the innocent people who died by his hand were wailing in his ears every moment.

Therefore, when he saw Akame's wanted poster, he suddenly thought.

Akame, who was once an elite of the Empire's assassination unit, might also have the dead constantly wailing in her ears like him.

So he followed Akame's trail to the Imperial Capital.

His original target was Akame.

In his view, only Akame was worthy of being his opponent.

But he didn't expect that now he couldn't even gain an advantage over one of Akame's defeated subordinates.

How could he accept this?

"You're too weak, Zanku!"

With a powerful slash sending Zanku flying, looking at his figure, Tatsumi said seriously, "Zanku, you're weak, really weak!"

"Relying on your Teigu, you've made a notorious name for yourself, but that doesn't change the fact that you're weak."

"Because the ones you've killed are all weaklings!"

"Swinging your sword only at the weak for fun makes you just a slightly stronger weakling."

"If you met Akame, you might gain some advantage due to your Teigu, but that would be temporary. Your defeat is beyond doubt."

Looking at Zanku, Tatsumi said earnestly.

At the same time, he sheathed his sword.

This sword was a second-tier weapon Mika had given him, a weapon Tatsumi treasured.

Earlier, to train himself, Tatsumi hadn't used his full strength.

He hadn't even put on his armor.

At this point, he found Zanku uninteresting.

Moreover, their battle had attracted a lot of attention, and the surrounding police force members were the best proof.

So now it was time to end the battle.

He drew the Holy Sword Durandal.

"Let's end this, Zanku!"

With that, Tatsumi charged forward.

"No, I won't lose!"

Seeing Tatsumi rushing towards him, Zanku swung his sword to meet him.

But in the next moment, Zanku's head flew into the air.

And along with it, his twin swords were cut into four pieces.

"The sharpness of this Holy Sword Durandal even surpasses 'Extase,' which can cut anything. If the weapon colliding with it isn't a Teigu, it will be mercilessly cut apart."

Glancing back at Zanku's head, Tatsumi said quietly.

Then he turned to the nearby police force members and ordered, "Clean up the scene, retrieve Zanku's Teigu, and clean it thoroughly. I will hand it over to Prime Minister Mellie later."

"Yes!"

The police force members responded loudly.

"That's how it happened!"

Akame earnestly reported to Boss Najenda in front of her.

After several days of hiding and reconnaissance, confirming multiple times that they weren't being followed, Akame and her team finally returned to the base.

At this time, everyone was dirty and disheveled, looking extremely weary.

"Your decision was correct, Akame; the enemy's response was indeed puzzling."

After listening to the detailed process, Najenda nodded and responded seriously.

"It seems that Honest's downfall and Prime Minister Mellie's rise have greatly impacted the Empire, especially the Imperial Capital!"

"So what should we do next?"

Leone asked worriedly.

"There's no way around it. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse, let alone an Empire that hasn't died and is starting to regain vitality!"

"At times like this, we can only request support from the Revolutionary Army headquarters."

Shaking her head, Najenda said seriously, "Let the Revolutionary Army enhance our combat power!"
