Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Chapter 26 - Receiving Students

Garou was sitting with Ari, Eren and Himiko, he was looking intently at the two kids who had determined looks in their eyes.

" I will ask you again, are you sure you want this? I will not go easy on you, you might even die, I won't hold back and won't allow you to relax or stop midway !!!" Garou spoke seriously

" We know, we won't blame you if we got harmed or died !!! We will not give up midway as well no matter what" Eren replied confidently

" Ari, are you sure you want to do this? You are a girl " Himiko asked worriedly

Ari nodded and replied " Being a girl won't stop me!!! You saw general Esdeath and how strong she was !!! "

" But she is a special case. You can't take her as an example !!!" Himiko was worried for Ari

" Very well, you two starting from today will be training under me. I sincerely hope you will live after I'm done from you " Garou finally said

The two children were slightly disturbed by his words but they still nodded making Himiko sigh.

The twin suffered for years, living in a harsh environment. They had to sleep countless times without eating, and they could eat only if they worked hard enough. They couldn't enjoy their childhood like how a child supposed to enjoy it. And recently, some evil people coveted the little girl forcing them to escape, but they were caught by another evil group. If not for Garou, who knows how the two would have ended. Dying or living a life worse than death.

Garou came out of nowhere to save them, he was scary, more scarier than anyone they had ever seen. But he still helped them when no one did. To them, he was their hero, their protector. Since his arrival, they didn't need to work in order to eat, they didn't have to sleep hungry. No one in the surrounding streets dared to talk badly to them in fear of Garou. They had a better life, a life they previously didn't even dare to dream to have.

Finally few days ago Garou fought against the empire's strongest general. Their battle was something shocked the whole city, they would never forget what they saw that day. How everything got destroyed because of their battle, how the sky rained huge ice blocks and how Garou returned victorious.

Although Garou has injured the general and destroyed part of the streets, no one punished him or spoke badly of him. He even went to the royal palace and came back with no one speaking of the consequences of his actions … No!!! No one dared to speak. Garou was powerful enough to take on the strongest general and her elite team without sustaining any injuries. He could walk into the imperial palace and leave with no one able to stop him.

The twin understood that what allowed Garou to do whatever he pleased was his strength. A strength that made everyone bow their heads to him in fear of what he could do. They wanted to be like Garou, they didn't want it to act as they pleased or oppress others. They wanted strength to control their fates, to live peacefully with no one looking down or try to harm them. Garou was here to help them, but is he going to help them for the rest of their lives? They wanted to be able to solve their own problems with their own strength.

Garou understood the intention of the two kids, that's why he agreed to train them. He didn't give up on returning to his original world!!! If they day that he could return came, then the orphans would suffer.

In the imperial palace, The young emperor was sitting on his throne with the minister next to him. Below him, Bodou, Esdeath and the 6 Jaegers were kneeling before him. The young emperor wasn't smiling like usual, but had a serious look on his face.

" General Esdeath, we heard you have been training alongside your team with that man, Garou. Is that true? " The emperor asked

" Yes, your majesty " Esdeath answered honestly

" When are you going to train with him again ? " He asked again, everyone thought the young emperor was still angry about what happened, he didn't plan to ambush, Garou did he?

" Today " Esdeath answered as her eyes looked curiously at the emperor.

" Good, we would like to accompany you today and meet him" The emperor spoke

" What? Why would you want to meet him again, Your majesty? He is too dangerous" The prime minister spoke with a shocked tone

" I hate to agree with the prime minister!! But he is right, Garou is too dangerous. If he attacks you, we won't be able to protect you" General Bodou spoke with a worried tone. His arm was reattached and functioning like before. But he still remembered how easy Garou took him down, how defenceless he was before that monster. Bodou might not admit it or show it, but inside of himself, he knew Garou left a seed of fear sprouting inside his heart.

" we know that, we are going to meet him today with General Esdeath and this is final!!! No one allowed to speak against our will " The young emperor spoke with authoritative tone.

" But …." the prime minister wanted to say something but the emperor interrupted him.

" Minister Honest, Our decision is final and you are not allowed to speak against it. If you dare to speak again, then you are questioning our authority, We don't want to punish you !!! " The young emperor spoke coldy as he looked at the minister.

Everyone was shocked by his actions, the emperor who always put the minister's opinion first, was now refusing it completely and even threatening to give a punishment.

" We will leave with General Esdeath and her team in an hour to meet Garou. General Bodou, you will be coming with us as well. No one else allowed to follow " The emperor gave his final order leaving no place to talk.

" Yes, your majesty" everyone bowed their heads and answered at the same time

The young emperor left his throne to his room, he was going to prepare himself. The prime minister stood in his place gritting his teeth, he clenched his fists as he looked at the reatreating kid.

He didn't know what the emperor wanted from Garou, but he knew that his control of the emperor started slipping since that day. The kid wanted to listen to him or speak, he would just sit alone thinking on his own. He had a very bad feeling about whatever the kid was thinking.

< Things can't continue going like this !!!! > He spoke in his heart

_______________________________________________________________________________

An hour later, the emperor alongside his subordinates were standing in front of the orphanage. They knocked on the door, a moment later it was opened by a young cute girl. She had a similar age to the emperor, she looked at the group then spoke " Hello General, Garou is inside. I will call him now !!!"

She ran inside again leaving the group at the door, Esdeath and her team didn't mind the girl. But the emperor frowned at her, while general Bodou spoke " How dare she leave us here !! His majesty with us !!!"

Esdeath answered with smirk " She didn't know his majesty, so please don't bother with her. In addition, if you speak or do anything against her, there is a good chance Garou will be gunning for your head "

Bodou stiffened a little as he looked at her angrily. The emperor finally spoke, " It's fine general. I don't mind it, we are not here to pick fights "

" I understand your majesty, and I'm sorry for my behaviour " Bodou apologized with a bow.

Moments later, Garou came out with the girl and another boy who looked a little similar to the girl. Garou looked at the two new faces and spoke " What is this about? Why these two are here? "

" Hello mr Garou " The emperor spoke first

" You are not here to greet me, are you? What do you want little brat " Garou asked casually

Against Garou's expectations, the emperor didn't show any anger, he spoke calmly " That's right, we will be straightforward with you. We are here to ask you teach us how to fight for ourselves !!!"

Esdeath and the rest were shocked, they didn't see this coming. The emperor lived his whole life sheltered without seeing blood or fighting, he had never carried a weapon. In fact, Bodou's blood and fight were the first violent thing he had ever seen.

Garou frowned at the boy " Why do you think I will teach a snotty annoying brat like you? "

The emperor clenched his fists and replied " Because as you said, I need strength, only my own strength is a true strength "

" That is no reason " Garou didn't care

" I want to be a true emperor ! A true ruler, a person commanding with his own strength " The boy spoke

" Stupid reason !! I will let you try one last time" Garou replied with narrowed eyes

The emperor was silent for a moment before saying, " I want to be a better emperor for myself and for my people. I want to protect them with my own strength. The traitors are threatening my empire, my people safety and until now, I kept sending general Esdeath to do my own job!!! I don't want to continue like this. Please teach me !!!" The emperor spoke with all of his heart before bowing to Garou.

Everyone looked at the emperor with shock, the boy actually bowed to someone. An act that should never be done by an emperor. Ari and Eren looked confused, while Garou looked unmoved, but if someone were to look carefully, they would see a gleam of an approval in his eyes.

Garou was no king, but he knew for a ruler to be willing to lower his head to someone in order to give his people a better life, is a ruler worthy of respect. If it was anything else, Garou would have ignored him. But the kid showed his will and d.e.s.i.r.e to be a good emperor.

" Very well, you will be training with me. I don't care about your status, emperor or not, you will be treated the way I like and you will drop the 'we' thing in your speech. I won't allow you to give up nor show you mercy. You will be treated like these two over here " Garou pointed at Ari and Eren, then continued, " If I don't like your behaviour or dedication, I will beat you thoroughly, got it ?"

" Yes" The emperor replied with determined eyes

The rest were still shocked by what they heard, especially Eren and Ari who just realized they will be training under Garou alongside the emperor himself.
