Akame Ga Kill: Garou

After they finished eating, Garou asked Esdeath " Where are we going to spar? We need a suitable place "

Esdeath thought a little then said " There is a huge military training ground south of the city, we can go there. But first, I need to get my team"

" No need, They are outside already " Garou spoke non-chantly but Esdeath was surprised, she didn't know they were outside. If they are really there, she should have felt someone watching her at the very least, so they must have been just waiting outside or Garou is mistaken.

Esdeath went outside to make sure if Garou was right, she stood outside and spoke loudly " All of you come out "

Her team came out from behind the buildings in the front, she asked " Why are you all here? "

The group looked at each other before Stylish walking forward and answered, " We were worried you might get in another fight, so we came to help you "

Esdeath looked coldly at them " I don't need you all to be following me around. If I don't ask you, then you are not allowed to follow me !! " her face then turned into a smile as continued " I will not punish you this time as I really needed you. I was planning to call you and you saved me the effort and time. Prepare we are going outside the city to have some fun"

Esdeath walked back inside, while her team looked at each other. Rin spoke first " I have a very bad feeling about this "

Wave nodded and said " Me too, I felt a shiver for someone reason. You don't think the commander is going to do something bad to us, right ?"

His team remained silent, while Esdeath walked back inside, she walked to Garou and asked " How did you know the 6 of them were outside? I didn't feel anything "

Garou looked at her and replied " I heard the footsteps of 7 people earlier, you came inside while the rest were outside. Considering the fact you were walking ahead of the other 6 and how sneaky the steps seemed, it wasn't really hard to guess that they were stalking you"

Esdeath nodded slightly but she was shocked in the inside. Garou heard the footsteps? What kind of hearing does he have? She wondered.

Moments later, Garou left alongside Esdeath and her team, they were heading to the training ground Esdeath spoke about. The Jaegers followed their commander without knowing the reason. But seeing Garou with them and how excited their commander was, they all came to the same conclusion, this is not going to end well.

After an hour, Garou somehow managed to stop himself from beating Esdeath before the spar officially began. He stood on the training ground, it was head ground spreading dozens of kilometers in all directions. The area was divided into two halves by a small river, the first half was a forest, while the second was a desolate land of rocks and soil with no trees. The place was empty and far from any human gathering, a suitable place indeed.

" So general, why did you bring us here? You said you will explain everything once we arrive " Wave said

" I brought you here for special training, in order to raise your skills and teamwork!!!" Esdeath answered

" I see, and why Garou with us? Is he going to join our team " Wave asked again

" Sadly no, Garou still refused to join. But he agreed to help us train" Esdeath smiled brightly at them.

" Oh, is he going to teach us how to fight like him ?" Seryu asked excitedly, she needed strength to fight against evil, and Garou fighting style and abilities proved to be at the very peak of the empire.

" It's better !! He will fight against us!!!" Esdeath smile grew brighter while her subordinates faces grew paler. They might have agreed to join her fighting against Garou if needed, but that didn't mean they wanted to seek fight proactively.

" Isn't that great? Now all of you prepare for combat " Esdeath spoke excitedly, she was getting more excited as she thought about sparing against Garou. She was a battle maniac and he was the perfect enemy.

The Jaegers wanted to cry, their commander obviously enjoyed combat and wanted to fight him again. She definitely didn't care about them improving, she just wanted to spend time with. The group prepared for battle while stopping themselves from disobeying their commander.

If one were to ask Esdeath to rank this spar reasons by priority, she would say the excitement of battle is the most important reason followed by spending time with Garou and improving her team. With the latter being the least important reason.

" Listen up everyone, fight with all of your strength and go with intent to kill. Use your trump cards and all of your skills, if you have poison with you ,then use it. Unless you fight with everything in your arsenal, you might get yourselves killed here !!" Esdeath told her team the bitter truth making them gulp. This fight was against Garou, and the man was not going to spar friendly with them or go easy on them. He was planning to make it a true battle, that won't stop until the opponent is dead or can't move a finger.

Hours later, Garou was sitting in the orphanage eating his dinner. He came back a few minutes ago, his clothes had some scratches, burnes and a lot of dust covering them. It was clear he had a fierce battle. But no wounds covered his body, only his clothes suffered from the battle.

" What happened to the general and her team? " Himiko asked curiously

" They are still alive if that what you are asking about " Garou replied

" They went back to the imperial palace right? " Himiko said

" I don't think they will be able to go today, it won't be easy for them. Maybe tomorrow " Garou said casually

His words made Himiko wonders what he did to them. One thing she was sure of, he definitely injured them.

______________________________________________________________________________

Back in the training ground, Esdeath and her team were still there lying on the ground. Their bodies covered with bruises and wounds. No one of them had enough strength to go back. Even Esdeath herself, was sitting tiredly on the ground, she was the one with the most number of wounds.

" Is Garou really a human ??" Wave asked tiredly

" I don't think so, he is way too strong " Seryu answered, she was lying on her back. Her body was covered with bruises, next to her Koru, her teigu.

" He destroyed dr Stylish weapons with his hand as if they were toys. He caught bullets and even canon missile with his hands. Koru got overheated and still couldn't hit that monster " Seryu continued

" Don't remind me, his blows nearly destroyed my armor and killed me in the process. Every part of my body screaming with pain " Wave added

" My fire teigu didn't affect him, he seemed immune to heat " Bols joined

" It didn't end there, he caught my feathers and deflected them back at me without even looking at my direction. How in the world he could it" Rin added

" It might be silly to say this, but Garou had one of two abilities if not both. The first one, he can see the future, that can explain his inhuman reaction speed. Or he can evolve during combat instantly just by watching. You might have not realized it yet, but each time we use an attack pattern or skill, Garou would change his combat style to counter us. Nothing worked against him more than once."

" He is by far the strongest warrior in the empire…. Hahahahahah.. I already look forward for our next spar " Esdeath said. She was the only one beside Garou to enjoy the fight. Her words made her team groan at her.

The poor Jaegers had a long way to go. Thanks to Esdeath, being beaten and trampled by Garou will soon become a daily basis for them.
