Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Garou's days continued to pass with no change, he kept his simple routine everyday. But with the passing time, he started to grow frustrated more and more. He couldn't find any opponent to give him a challenge and thanks to that, his skills and strength barely increased. His training helped him keep himself in shape but couldn't improve.

Garou knew that he needed to have a life and death battles to improve but didn't know where to look. He heard about the imperial generals being the strongest warriors but looking at how powerless the soldiers and warriors he saw so far, he didn't feel motivated to seek them out. He didn't want to find another trash thinking himself a great warrior when he is in reality a little stronger than an ant.

What Garou didn't know his expoilets got him the attention of the revolutionary army and the empire's strongest. The revolutionary spies spent the past few weeks digging information about him and his origin. Similarly, Esdeath's soldiers and servants were looking to his whereabouts.

The revolutionary spies found Garou's location first, but didn't dare to approach him recklessly as they couldn't find anything about him beside where he has been staying. On the other hand, Esdeath's soldiers took much more time to find him as their only lead was a red haired man.

In the imperial palace, Esdeath was kneeling in the crown hall in front of a young boy, who was sitting on the top of the throne, beside him the prime minister eating his meat without care for the world.

" General Esdeath, You have done a splendid job in defending the empire and erasing the threats. We wish to give you a reward for your achievements " The young boy spoke with proud voice, trying his best to be a fitting emperor.

" I thank you majesty for your generosity!! If I may, I have two requests for you" Esdeath spoke with a humble smile.

" Please speak General, as long as your requests within our capabilities they shall be granted " The young emperor said

" First I wish to form a special team of Teigu users, they would be directly under my command and answer to me. " Esdeath said

The young emperor wondered a little then asked " Why are you requesting this? Don't you have 3 elites with teigus under your command "

" True, but the three proved to be inadequate lately as they got defeated by a normal citizen " Esdeath answered honestly

" A normal citizen defeated them? How could that be? " The young emperor was surprised by what he heard

" According to many eye witnesses, a single red haired man defeated then with his b.a.r.e hands. Thus I decided to create a new team, it won't do to fight with soldiers who can't defeat a b.a.r.e handed man!! For this reason as well, I sent the three on a mission. If they failed it then only death awaits them " Esdeath spoke with a cruel smile.

" General Esdeath wish to create this team so she can eliminate Nightraid once and for all. Having small agile team of elites is the best course of action " The prime minister added from the side

The emperor hearing his minister words nodded his head and said " Your first request shall be granted, you can ask for any soldier to join you team. Also we will send people to get the best of the best of the empire's soldiers to join you. We hope to see best of results"

" I will not disappoint you " Esdeath spoke with confidence

" But I'm still curious general, who is the man who defeated your 3 beasts? " The emperor asked

" We don't have much information about him. Our spies only managed to find that his name is Garou and he has been staying in an orphanage since he arrived to the empire's capital weeks ago. According to those who interacted with him or saw him, despite being few, they all agreed that he looked like a country bumpkin as he was looking around curiously. But he possessed high skills and strength allowing him to defeat the police and my soldiers effortlessly ." Esdeath replied

" How are you going to handle him? " The minister asked

" I was thinking to check his background first, if he is not part of the revolutionary army or any of our enemy, I will recruit him as a member of my special team" Esdeath replied

The prime minister nodded while the young emperor said " Very well general, what about your second request? "

" I wish to fall in love " Esdeath spoke with a straight face

The prime minister and the emperor stared at Esdeath weirdly, especially the minister who couldn't believe a sadistic monster like her could fall in love.

" Ummm.. What you expect us to do exactly ?" The young emperor asked, he didn't know how to answer such a request, he didn't even understand love himself.

" I would like you to help me search for a suitable man " Esdeath answered

The young emperor pondered a little then looked at his minister and spoke " What about the prime minister? He is a great man !!"

The prime minister paled thinking about the possibility of him sleeping with Esdeath, he had no doubt she will kill him once she done with him like how some of the insects females kill their mate after their breeding session.

" hmm.. I would prefer someone less fat, not to mention he is too old for me " Esdeath spoke with an amused look as she watched the pale minister regain his colours.

" Is that so? " The young emperor spoke with pity as if the two could be a great match

On the other hand, the prime minister spoke hurriedly " Tell us your preference and we will look for men who match it throughout the empire"

Esdeath started describing her vision of a suitable man, the emperor kept nodding for her words while the prime minister stared at her weirdly. The more she spoke the weird his face became, The prime minister had no doubt that if they searched the whole empire and the nearby countries, they might not necessarily find such a match.

The next day, Garou was eating alongside the children and himiko, when he suddenly sneezed.

" it seems you caught cold Garou. This is the third time you sneeze in a minute" Himiko said

" Don't be silly!! I don't catch cold. There must be someone talking badly about me" Garou said seriously.

Himiko shook her head at his antics while the children laughed. What they didn't know, far away in the sea, on the top of a ship. A life and death battle between night raids members and the 3 beasts was going on.

" So you met that red haired bastard, Bulat !!" Liver spoke with an angry face. He was currently half bald thanks to Garou.

" That's right, I met Garou. My current looks is his handy work " Bulat spoke with a little resentment. The previously handsome man looked like a beggar now. Garous blows reshaped his face thoroughly. Even if Bulat walked in the capital, none would realise who he is.

" Bulat, let's make a warrior oath here. Whoever survive today, must take revenge for what he did to us as long as they got an opportunity." Liver spoke seriously

" Normally, I wouldn't make oaths with my enemies. But you have my word. If I survived today, I will take revenge if I could " Bulat spoke sincerely

Liver nodded and gave his words before the death battle continued.

Back in the orphanage, Garou was still eating when the orphanage front door was knocked. Himiko stood while saying " I will see who is knocking"

Moments later, Himiko came back with a soldier. She said " Umm.. Garou, he is here for you "

Garou looked at the soldier, his cold sharp gaze caused the soldier to shiver. Garou spoke " Are you going to stare the whole day? What do you want?"

The soldier stuttered "S-sir, I'm …. Sorry for …. Annoying you. M-my general gave me …. Thi-ss letter to han-d it ...to you-u"

The soldier extended his shaking hand with a letter, Garou took the letter from him and said " You can leave "

The soldier ran in fear, while Himiko and the children began laughing. Ari kept laughing as she said " Poor Garou, his face scares everyone"

Garou Ignored them as he opened the letter, he frowned a little before giving it to Himiko. He said " I don't know these letters, read it for me !!!"

Himiko was shocked, she said " How could you not know how to read !!!"

" Just read it !!!" Garou was slightly pissed

" Okay okay. But you will let me teach you how to read and write later " Himiko replied

Garou stared at her with annoyed face without saying any words. Himiko sighed and read the letter

Himiko was surprised by the content, she looked at Garou and spoke " What are you going to do? General Esdeath is the greatest general in the empire and said to be the strongest "

Garou frowned slightly before saying " Not interested "

Himiko wanted to say something but Garou walked out. She sighed in relief before going to clean the dishes
