The next day, Tatsumi and Akame began their sparring match. Akame' speed is proving, but she still can not break his defense. 'She is getting more fast every time we train together'. He said to himself and he is blocking her swing.

'Why can't I break though?' She said to herself. She jumps back to her spot. She was about strike again, but they heard footsteps coming to them.

"Dare you are. Leone said you would be training with Akame". Mine said in annoying tone with her arm crossed.

"We do this every morning". Tatsumi said in cold tone.

"Good to know. We're heading to town newbie". She left the practice area.

"Is like that to everyone". Tatsumi asks her.

"Yes. Please don't kill her". Akame said to him and he just nods his head to her.

He left the practice field. "I guess I make breakfast alone this time". She is heading to the kitchen.

He returns to his room to remove his periwinkle vest and his grey long sleeve. He removes from his backpack and he grabs a black trench coat. He is wearing his coat and he grabs his dragger. He put six daggers around his belt to let his coat to hide them. He left his room and heading to the front entrance. He saw the pink hair is waiting for him.

"You're ready then let go". She said in order tone. He didn't answer her. Only he did just follow her.

They arrived to town and they saw people are heartbroken. The guard just walk passed them and don't care for them. They heard a scream from alley and they saw a girl is being bullied by two guys.

"Hey you two release her now!" She is yelling.

"Why should we. She a refugee and she should listen to us the citizen say". One bullies said to her.

She is losing her temper with the guys. Tatsumi!"

He walks slowly to them and they didn't say anything to him. He pull out his dagger and they scared he is going to kill them. He come closed to them and with speed he cut off their belts is holding up the thugs trousers. They look down and saw their underwear. He put his knife back and flicks his finger to their forehead. They fall to the ground and few embarrassing. They look into his eyes and they saw cold. They run off.

The little girl is going to thanking the pink hair. "Don't thank me, you need to become stronger, you need to defend yourself". She said to her and walking always. Tatsumi grab a few gold coins and give to the girl and she just smiled at him. He just nods his head and he follows Mine.

'She much has hard life in her past". He said to himself.

"Okay, I guess know about wanted post". He just nods his head to her. "Good now time for our investigation of the capital". Mine said with smile and he didn't say anything.

He notices a group people are gathering together always from the restaurant. "What going on over dare?" He is curious of the group of people.

"That is probably a public executive". Mine said and they heading to the group of people. They saw three dead people nail to cross. "The Prime Minister want to make sure the current young Empire won't be worried about empire". She remains quit. "However he won't get me and I'll stand on up of the new world". She said in proud tone. He can feeler her will is on fire.

The capital is getting to sunset and at the palace in throne room. The young Emperor is sitting on his throne and he also carries a golden scepter with a blue orb attached to it. Six of his men are three both side and one official is on his knees.
"Domestic Affairs Official Shoui, for speaking against my policies and delaying government affairs, you are sentenced to be drawn and quartered by bulls". The Official gasp and the six men didn't say anything. "This is what needs to be done, right, Prime Minister?
Coming from behind throne, a grey hair man is biting a piece of meat. He is the Prime Minster; Honest. He is proud of the Emperor. Young Emperor notices he is eating meat again.

"Your Highness! The Prime minister is deceiving you! Please, open your ears to your people cries! The Official is hoping he would listen to him.

"Prime Minster, is this true?" The young Emperor asks the Prime Minster for his advice.

"He has clearly gone mad, Your Highness". He gives his answer to him. The Young Emperor believes him. The Official gasps and lost his hope. "Sir, Shoui". He said his name and two guards used their spear pin him down. "I regretfully bid you farewell".

The Official is begging to the Young Emperor. "Your Majesty! What of our empire glorious 1,000-year history!"

The Prime Minster is in front of him. "Sir, Shoui, don't worry about your beautiful wife you're leaving behind. I'll take good care of her in every possible way". He said in lust tone.

The two guards take him always. 'How… How can this happen? How can this be allowed? Every crime cries out for punishment. Someone, please…Please deliver justice upon this demon!'

"Fine if he missed, you can shoot him". The boss said in calm tone.

End of Flashback

The team is waiting in the forest wait for Tatsumi to take his shoot. "I hope doesn't missed his target". The green hair said.

"Why? You don't trust his skills?" The blonde asks.

"I was traveling in the forest then I sense people thrust of blood near by and I saving from bandit. While I was fixing your wounds, I found this book inside backpack and I was surprised to see it". The mask person gives his answer to him.

"Why would you be surprised of that book?" He asks in curious tone.

"I though this book was just a rumor from the Empire and to me, I though never exist". The mask person said and Tatsumi can't believe what he is hearing. "My question why are you out here?"

"I want my revenges against the Empire who destroy my villages and kill my people". He answers the question.

"You want to be become stronger too". The mask person asks in clam tone.

"Yes! I can see I won't survive in the Empire. much get strong somehow". He gives his answer.

"I can help you to be become stronger". He can't believe what he is hearing. "But you have to promise me you're going to save the Empire from itself". The person mask asks calm tone. He can't believe a stranger want him to save the empire and he want revenge on.

End of flashback

He sees the Prime Minster's cousin is leaving with innocent people. 'Hide yourself with innocent people, but to bad for you'. He is ready to shoot.

'I see he is using innocent people as shield he won't hit from long distance. To bad for Tatsumi, he is going to kill one of the…' She said to herself. She saw him release the arrow.

"Here they are. It times to go wild!" The blonde said by punch her two fists together.

"This other route is really hard to traverse". Mine said in complain tone.

"The guards are training by Koukenji the empire's top martial arts temple. I guess they don't skimp on the security for the Prime Minster's relatives". He said in cold tone.

"People who abuse power they were born into piss me off more than anything else". Mine said to him. "I'll give you special treat since you didn't missing your target. I'll tell you about my past. I grew up near the western border of the empire. And I'm half-foreigner. Everyone in the city looked down upon me. I wasn't accepted, no matter where I went. It was a tragic childhood indeed. However…The Revolutionary Army is allied with the foreigners to the west. Once the capital has a new ruler, borders will be opened and nationality wills no longer mater. That way, no one else will have to go through what I did. I won't let anyone be discriminated against ever again! She said in proud tone.
"And then I'll get rich off my role in the revolution and live a life of luxury! She said in annoying tone and laughing.

He didn't saying to her. 'I guess some people would be happy after this but for me…' He is looking up to the sky.

The Night Raid member finished off the guards. "That was great stress relief!" The blonde is happy blow off stream.

"They were quite strong". The purple long hair said to her.

"Something's off. There should have five guards". Akame said to her team.

"Yeah, you four took one each and left me with nothing". The green hair said in complains tone.

"That means you only get half the reward, Lubb". The blonde said to him. He is not to hear that from her.

"Not bad you saw me coming". The last guard said to him. He went to his stance and he is ready to strike. He saw Tatsumi place his sword, his quiver, his other daggers, and his bow down on the ground. He went to the same stance like him. "You thinking you can copy my stance and defeat me. I was instructor ten years ago". Tatsumi didn't say anything to him.

'What is he doing he can't win hand to hand combat. Why he didn't draw his sword and..." She said to herself. She saw running to him with great speed and the guard going to hit him first, but he blocks his punch.

The guard tries again, but he blocks each one of his moves. The guard tries strike again, but he is holding his fists really tight. She watch them and she know why he holding him like that. She is power up her Pumpkin and unreleased a blast and he got out the way. The head of guard is gone and the bodies fall to the ground. He grabs his stuff from the ground and the team arrived.
