Chapter 113: Assassination Spree

Ramiel is currently training Sayo and Ieyasu in their respective weapons, he gave some gauntlets to Ieyasu and Sayo had a pretty powerful bow with a one ton draw weight.

"Okay, you can't go on missions until you can wield your weapons without any issues. Do you two understand me?" He squinted his eyes and they saluted.

"Sir yes sir!" Sayo and Ieyasu started weight training to develop their strength. They were agile enough to fight most people right now and he was turning them into real assassins.

Night raid was claiming to be an assassin group, but throughout their careers. They were terrible at assassinating people. Getting into fights at their every mission. Which is terrible for an assassin.

Sayo would be a sniper that can target people from kilometers away. The arrows she would be using would be exploding harpoons that are loaded with flare spells. A goddamned weapon that a terrorist would be proud of.

Ieyasu would be her back up in case some guards or soldiers are in the area where she would take her shot. Mine's pumpkin emits a bright flash whenever she fires. Which is obviously a terrible choice for a sniper.

So Sayo would be their long range specialist to kill people in a heartbeat. Meanwhile, the other members that weren't active were training in the base too. Increasing their agility over strength.

"Okay, Bulat. You don't need that much strength honestly. You're wasting your potential, with Incursio you can turn invisible. Are you stupid or something? That's a major advantage for night raid." Ramiel chided them while he was being trained for absolute speed.

"You should be the team's most valuable asset. With enough speed, you can assassinate most people without a trace. Sabotage enemy lines quickly and get out, etc. Incursio is wasted on you." Ramiel sighed and Bulat was fired up, training more to be a speedster with explosive speed.

"Mine, you shouldn't be in night raid. You have a cannon as a weapon. You should be sieging fortresses and strong holds with the main revolutionary army." Ramiel pointed at the pink haired girl and she saluted nervously.

"Y-yes sir!" She was still traumatized about killing Lubbock with pumpkin as Ramiel used him as a shield.

"Sheele, with those big ass scissors. You'll be spotted a mile away with those things. You should be decked in heavy armor and tear through entire armies with it. You'll be undergoing training to increase your strength and speed." Ramiel made Sheele run immediately to gain stamina.

"Najenda, do you even care about the lives of your operators?" He sighed and Najenda flinched. "Of course I do!"

"Then why are they in the wrong roles? I know that Teigus are trump cards against the empire. But you need to think about their strengths and weaknesses. Bulat should never be here, he must be in espionage and sabotage missions 24/7." He started changing the structure of the group and the operators.

Mine and Sheele were sent to the main army to fight guerilla warfare as spec ops that infiltrate strongholds and cut down soldiers.

With Mine's pumpkin, she could blow up gates and Sheele could lead the charge as a killing machine that wipes out the vanguard in minutes.

Bulat would be sent as a spy immediately after his training. Lubbock, armed with a weapon that uses strong strings was partnered up with Bulat for traps. In case of pursuers or for assassination missions.

Akame became their high value target specialist. She could one hit kill anyone with murasame. So Leone was partnered up with her as her handler.

Being anonymous to the empire, she can spy in the capital and trade information with Alexandra and Tifa easily. Then Akame will go in to kill Teigu users with just one glancing slice of her sword.

"You guys are lazy, you have been lacking! I demand only perfection. This empire will fall in just a few weeks, mark my words." Ramiel announced and he took over night raid immediately.

After a few days of his intense training, Sayo and Ieyasu were sent to assassinate a high ranking officer of the imperial army. He was receiving bribes from a business mogul and we're implicating other people as scapegoats.

Sayo and Ieyasu were sent for this because the target is often seen in the main street of the capital. Drinking and partying with his dirty money.

Ieyasu would kill the business mogul and Sayo would take care of the officer called Ogre.

Travelling to the capital, Sayo quickly prepared her weapon and assembled it. It was a long bow and in her suit case. Several kinds of arrows were in it that were as large as harpoons.

Ramiel also gave them some walkie talkies and Sayo had eyes on the target. "Ieyasu, I'm on him. Kill the mogul in 30 seconds. Tango will be down in that time frame, over."

She started drawing her bow, using an arrow tip that will explode like a frag grenade. "You sorry motherfucker will explode into mince meat after this."

Sayo squinted her eyes and her muscles were screaming. After calming her breathing, she held it and saw the target go out of the door in his favorite drinking place.

Releasing the drawstring of the bow, it created a Sonic boom and Ieyasu blew off the head of the corrupt businessman after he finished a night in the brothel.

The officer in his merry walk towards his post. Got hit on the chest by the harpoon and it exploded upon impact. Shrapnel shredded him from the inside and his body popped like a watermelon.

"Captain!" A certain brunette went up to his superior and Sayo frowned. "Tatsumi? What the hell is he doing there!? Ieyasu, change of plans. Go get Tatsumi, he is in the imperial guard." Sayo communicated with Ieyasu.

"What!? Got it, he can't be with those fucks." Ieyasu moved and went to the main street, using the chaos and located their friend.

"Tatsumi! Is that you!?" Ieyasu acted well. "Ieyasu!? Oh my goodness, good thing you're safe! I'm in the imperial guard and my captain suddenly died. I think it's an assassination." Tatsumi frowned when he looked at his officer.

"Yeah, because we killed him." Ieyasu whispered at him and covered his mouth immediately. "Come on, Sayo and I will explain more." Ieyasu pulled out immediately. Even if they won't be implicated, it was a bad idea to stay.

Alexandra was with Tifa and they were playing with the emperor. Having a nice little match of Mario kart. "Ha! You're a few decades too young to beat us kid!" Alexandra ruffled the hair of the emperor and he pouted at her.

"Alexandra, you and Tifa are too good at this! I can only beat you in Yahtzee or a game of luck." The emperor huffed and they got him in their palm.

"Heh, this is too easy. Like stealing candy from a baby." Tifa smirked and they received a comm from night raid.

"Tifa, I want you to make him better. Get good kid." Alexandra stood up and she read the report. "Hmm, it's starting huh?" After receiving the data.

She immediately forged papers and took over the oil merchant's company. Receiving a large corporation that controls most of the oil in the place.

"Kukuku~ What are you going to do now? Fat ass?" Alex smiled and of course it would be investigated by the prime minister.

He was receiving bribes from the oil merchant as well. And Alexandra now controls the flow of oil inside the country. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she already controlled a major sector of the empire.

The main army of the revolutionary army was also starting to encroach on the capital. Taking fortresses left and right with Mine and Sheele's help.

It also didn't help that Alex was redirecting Esdeath to hunt danger beasts left and right. Giving them even more power and before they can send support to the battlefront, the revolutionary army already took it.

Bulat and Lubbock were assassinating nobles left and right. Supply lines got sabotaged by Bulat like a madman.

Sayo and Ieyasu explained everything to Tatsumi and Tatsumi was horrified by the torture they experienced from the nobles. Tatsumi was sent to the main army and Ramiel trained him as a commando.

Tatsumi can fight special class danger beasts on his own. Dispatching an earth dragon with ease. Using a pretty standard steel sword. He was a force to be reckoned with when his resolve to rebel against the empire bloomed.

With Tatsumi as a commando unit by himself. Mine and Sheele had an easier time taking down fortresses with his infiltration and assassinating enemy officers in the back line.

He was also given a Teigu with Alexandra and Tifa's machinations. Stealing a mask from the treasury. It unlocked all the limiters of the person wearing it to 100%.

Alexandra quickly rose to power and the prime minister was forced to send out Teigu users to protect the strongholds that the revolutionary army was taking like hotcakes.

"See Najenda? Look at the success of the revolutionary army by using your operators wisely and diverging attention to a larger threat out of the capital? Bulat, Lubbock, Sayo, Ieyasu, and Akame are killing nobles left and right." Ramiel grinned and Alexandra was taking over the empire.

"It's too easy. Teigu users are all over the place. They're scattered recklessly. The prime minister is desperate. So we sent Sayo with her special arrows. It's already a done deal, Bulat got information that he will be in his estate." Ramiel ordered Sayo to bomb him.

"Yes sir!" With the capital losing tons of imperial guards because Alex and Tifa killed them off. Sayo infiltrated the capital with all the support of night raid except the ones in the main front.

Bulat went in and confirmed that Honest was in his estate. Akame, Lubbock, and Ieyasu guarded Sayo and she used her most powerful arrow.

"You fat pig, this is for my village and all the people you oppressed." She drew her bow. And sent a flare augmented harpoon right at the middle of the mansion.

The arrow pierced through every wall and exploded. The capital was shaken as the flare spells disintegrated anything inside of the mansion.

Bulat immediately checked the area for survivors and there was nothing there. Even bones were gone. "Mission complete, prime minister down."

Ramiel who was watching the events unfold with Najenda smirked. "That's how it's done Najenda. Cook them in their shells and they would be caught lacking. It was possible because Bulat and Leone were always gathering information. Not fighting all the time." He snorted.

"I can't believe it... The prime minister has been taken care of in just a few weeks. Just who the hell are you?" Najenda frowned and was terrified of him. Alexandra or any one of them can just brute force their way in and kill the prime minister.

But he went up and beyond and killed their biggest thorn on their side with a few modifications in their structure and operators.

"Alexandra already told you. We're royalty, not just the way you think. We took over our empire and our enemies could erase this entire continent with one attack in a blaze of fire." Ramiel sighed and remembered their final battle at Midgar.

"We'll leave this place to you. This will be a hub of ours. But we'll probably not come back." He shrugged and gave the responsibility to rebuild to her.

"Oh, and remember that the emperor is not at fault. Send him to a far away place, he's just a child that has been controlled by Honest." Ramiel went to the palace and fetched Tifa and Alex.

"Come on, we don't have anything more to do here. Let them clean up everything." Ramiel smiled at Alexandra and patted her head.

"But I wanted to play a bit more of the empire simulator. It was so fun, it's like monopoly. I get all the businesses and put the competitors in jail." Alexandra whined.

"Alex, they would rely on us too much. We've already given them a huge advantage you know? The prime minister has been their largest problem." Tifa sighed.

Ramiel laughed and gave a bright smile to her. "Besides, this place is too easy. We'll have better adventures next time. In this scenario, the revolutionary army had plenty of cards to play, but they were too narrow minded and focused on Honest." He ruffled her hair and she apprehensively accepted.

Esdeath who was on the side felt her heart beat quicker. Seeing his smile towards Alexandra. She could also feel his overwhelming power. As he is above Alexandra, she could tell immediately.

"Ahhh, Ramiel. This is Esdeath, my general. She's pretty strong right?" Alex puffed her chest and thought that Esdeath was a nice catch.

"Hmm, yeah. She can freeze the whole empire with her ice. Hi, I'm Ramiel. Alexandra's brother." He shook her hand.

"Ramiel-sama, nice to meet you as well." She blushed like a school girl and Ramiel raised his brow. She is a warmongering killing machine after all.

"Uhhh, you good?" He put a hand on her forehead. "Ahhh, it's just. You're more powerful than your sister right?" She bit her lip and found that irresistible.

"Ayo, Alexandra. What did you feed her?" He was a bit perplexed. "Of course she can't resist your awesome might." Alexandra nodded sagely.

Tifa sighed and explained. "She's been telling stories about you. And she has wanted to meet you for a long time now." She shook her head and was sure that Alexandra was trying to make a cult or something. She even suspected that Alex had a book somewhere that had all of his achievements in it.

Esdeath nodded. "It is the duty of a woman to seek the strong and create offspring that will continue to survive in this world."

"Damn, you know she crazy Alex. Why'd you have to sic her on me?" Ramiel whispered to her. He didn't have qualms in putting his junk in crazy, but Esdeath was a bit too crazy.

"What are you even complaining about? She's pretty, strong, and absolutely loyal. She followed my orders to a tee." Alex huffed at him and he sighed.

"Fine, we'll take her. But Esdeath, I'm warning you. The place we'll be in is peaceful. We don't go to places where there is conflict every time." Ramiel squinted his eyes at her. He was sure she would fucking kill everyone that isn't submissive to them.

"That's fine, I can control my urges. I am disciplined and I always follow my creed." She nodded sagely.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Tifa was anxious. "Okay, remember. No killing unless we say so." Ramiel reminded her again.

"Of course, by your will." Esdeath bowed and Ramiel sighed at Alexandra's pick. Though she is competent and strong. He remembered that Esdeath can freeze an entire continent with her other trump card. She just knew she was outmatched and didn't use it against Alexandra.

Ramiel was still kind of apprehensive, but she really is a disciplined warrior. Just crazy, so he gave her the benefit of the doubt and they returned to their hub world, the shokugeki world.

And they arrived just in time to know that the Stagiaire is finished. Hundreds of students were expelled in just the first week. And the following weeks were a breeze.

Shinomiya also opened up a restaurant in Tokyo. "Aww, Hinako wanted to go to her senpai's restaurant here in Tokyo. Too bad, we could've reviewed his cooking. Lulu did give him a verbal beat down." Ramiel shrugged and introduced Esdeath to the whole group.

"Hello everyone, I am Esdeath. Alexandra's general." She bowed and stared right at Yuna and Lulu. "Why's she staring at us?" Lulu raised a brow.

Esdeath walked up to them uncomfortably close. "I see, this is what you mean by this place being peaceful?" She looked like she was disappointed.

"What are you saying?" Lulu squinted her eyes. "Nothing, it's just that you two are a bit lacking to be in their level. I can smell it, you two are not strong enough."

They glared at each other and Ramiel stared at Alexandra. "Okay, okay, let's break it up. Calm down, let's all get along with each other." He sighed and Alexandra was seeing the problem now.

"Sorry everyone, she's a bit culturally different." Alexandra scratched her head sheepishly. "Different? They're worlds apart. She's been killing things since she was a kid, Alex." Tifa sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Okay, shut up. No one do anything, alright? Scarlet, fill her in would you? We're actually being called by Senzaimon for a meeting. It says here that the elite 10 and those who were in the official autumn selection will have a little lunch." Ramiel put Esdeath in her hands to teach the killing machine the logic in this world.

"Tifa's words don't really give me much confidence Ramiel. But I'll try I guess." Scarlet sighed and stared at Esdeath who was looking around curiously. She had a really dangerous vibe and Scarlet doesn't wanna know why.

"Come on, the 8 of us will meet with them at Totsuki apparently." Ramiel urged them to travel and they were of course fashionably late.

"The divine monarchs and the great devil kings are arriving." A woman announced and some cushions were set up. Looking like a Japanese meeting in the warring states period.

"Yo, sorry we're late. So you guys are the complete elite 10 huh?" Ramiel greeted and they sat down at their cushions. And maidservants started serving them some sake.

"Isn't that illegal?" Megumi whispered to Soma. "Well, aren't they drinking every time when they party? Isn't it too late to ask if it's legal?" Soma retorted and Megumi had a realization that they do whatever they want.

"Hoh? Divine monarchs and great devil kings huh? I've always wanted to meet up with you. Fucking monsters, owning Babel and expelling hundreds of freshmen." A red head with yellow eyes stared at Ramiel. (pic)

"Hmmm? I'd like to say the same. But that just isn't true. Who are you, miss?" Ramiel gave a pleasant smile and their pride took a huge hit. They were basically nobodies in front of them after all.

"I'm Kobayashi Rindou, hey. Can I trade you this cake for something you made?" She snatched the 4th seat's cake and offered it to him.

"Well, I'd give you this cookie. How about it?" Ramiel took out a cookie from his jacket. She laughed and thought it was hilarious. "You seriously keep a cookie in your jacket?"

"I have other things in there, I'd like to be prepared for anything." He shrugged and they exchanged some food. Rindou thought it would just be a stale cookie, but she creamed herself when she tasted it and twitched on the ground.

"Ramiel, is that the legendary cookie? Auntie Mana told us that you offered it to her." Alice stared at Rindou who was a mess and Ramiel perked up at her words.

"It seems that Mana has been trying to make an effort huh? Erina, is she being good to you?" Ramiel smiled at her and she nodded, embarrassed that he was fixing her family issues.

"Yes, mother is pestering me every time to hang out with her." Erina blushed and Ramiel nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, why is there so much tension here?" He checked out Soma who was a bit tense. "Ahhhh, Ramiel. Hear this, Yukihira here blurted out that he wanted to be in the elite 10 immediately and asked for any one of them for a shokugeki." Alice snickered and thought he was an idiot.

"Well, do you have the balls to do it? You have nothing that they want, but you can bet your expulsion and we can agree to it immediately." Alexandra goaded him.

Soma had cold feet when the opportunity was presented to him. Especially the beat down they gave him at the autumn selection.

"How about if you pass me in any type of way? I'll accept your shokugeki, Yukihira-chi?" The 8th seat, Kuga arrogantly declared and thought he would never achieve something like that.

"Height." Rindou blurted out as she sobered up. "I was talking about cooking you bitch!" Kuga had baby rage.

"He is a little squirt. Just like a Chihuahua." Samus laughed and Kuga growled. "Why is this jerk trembling so much? He's like a massage chair or something." Lulu commented and Rindou laughed her ass off.

"Maybe he has IED?" Alice wondered. "Intermittent erectile dysfunction?" Yuna tilted her head. "That's not what that means!? And I don't have anger issues!" Kuga screamed.

"Where did you even learn that Yuna? Lulu, you've got to keep her out of the internet more." Ramiel advised and they ignored Kuga who was smoldering with rage.

"I know how to fix that, how about we beat the shit out of him?" Samus stood up and she towered over the students of Totsuki. Growing a few more inches since their visit in one punch man. Now 201 cm in height or 6'6 like Alexandra

Kuga was only a measly 5'1, 154 centimeters. He looked like a kid in front of her and Samus had a grin on her face.

"Stop bullying him Samus, sorry. She's just messing with you. She won't beat you up, she will kill you otherwise." Ramiel smiled and Samus bent a metal spoon with ease while grinning at him.

"Soma, you can try to outrank him in the upcoming moon festival. Senzaimon sent me a message about it. It's like a festival where you sell food in a stall. How about we treat you guys a little eh? You are already here anyways. This is a joyous occasion." Ramiel looked at one of the maidservants.

They quickly arrived with equipment and ingredients. And the peanut gallery were excited. It is not an exaggeration that it is extremely rare for them to cook for someone personally. And it will be an experience of a lifetime.

"Something simple and light?" Ramiel cooked some Risotto and served it without garnishes or the like.

It looked like a boring ass congee on a plate. But when they tasted it, everybody had one thing on their mind. It was one of the best tasting things they've ever tasted. And it probably will be for the rest of their lives.

Except their friends who go to their house to party. The elite 10 were blown away and admitted that it would be impossible to ever reach their level.

"H-how? How can you create such a depth of flavor with simple stock and some cheese? This is insane." Rindou stared at the boring looking dish.

"Well, If you want to know the secret Rindou-chan. How well do you know your ingredients? The absolute perfect blends of it? We consider all that, thousands upon thousands of little categories that make food taste different. And we perfect it, it's that easy." He smirked and they left the venue.

"What a liar..." Erina sighed. There were thousands of things you can do to make food better. But to perfect it all was pure madness.

The days go by and they send in their applications for the moon festival. There were three areas in Totsuki for the festivities.

The top where it is more in tune for fine dining and the like. The central area which is the largest. Suitable for food that needs special equipment and large stalls. And the entrance, which has a lot of traffic, but tight spaces that carts and small stalls will be the only thing viable.

They settled in the central area and recreated their partitioned restaurants there. Selling their specialties. Yuna and Aerith with dessert, Samus and Tifa with Italian, Ramiel and Alexandra with french, and japanese with Lulu and Zack.

"Hoh? That Chihuahua that's trembling with rage is sure going all out." Samus looked at the Chinese themed stall that was being made across them. And it was pretty large.

"How about we check it out yeah? See how much profit they're going to lose?" Ramiel smiled and they went inside of it. "Soma, Hojo, it's a surprise to see you here." He saw two familiar faces.

"Azure dragon? What are you doing here?" Miyoko was still a bit traumatized by Alexandra calling her an idiot sandwich.

"What? Isn't this all a public area? You can go visit our stall too later. We're serving to go meals, because we can't let people stay. There will be too many of them." Ramiel shrugged.

"You bastards..." Kuga trembled in rage again as he remembered being humiliated earlier. "He's trembling again. I think he's 50% rage and 50% trembling. He looks like a massage gun." Yuna described him.

"Well, we didn't come here to check him out Yuna. We're here to see what he is going to serve." Ramiel patted her head and Soma nodded.

"10 staffs. Prepare our special." Kuga called 10 baldies and they started cooking at the same time. It was easy to see that they trained for it really hard.

"Consistency is good Kuga, but no matter how many efficient and consistent baldies you have. It will never be enough if your dishes are simply too boring." Lulu shrugged and he squinted his eyes.

10 dishes of Mapo tofu were served and Soma tried it first. "S-so spicy, but I can't stop eating them... And they all look the same. Taste the same too." He was amazed by their consistency.

"Hmm, it has a nice balance in spiciness and the numbness of Sichuan cuisine Kuga. You've really researched this well. But what should I say, it's really basic?" Ramiel thought it was pretty good for the masses who don't have refined palates.

"How about I show you what a real Mapo tofu looks like?" He took over their kitchen and asked the baldies for ingredients.

He fired up the jet stove for the wok and began cooking some Mapo tofu. When he served it, it looked evil and super spicy. Making them apprehensive.

"What are you waiting for? Rejoice, boy. Your wish will finally come true. You will feel alive after tasting it." Ramiel gave it to them like a shady priest.

Kuga, Soma, and Hojo tasted it and they immediately started sweating. "So spicy! But it's so goddamned good!" They cried out at the same time.

"My work here is done." Ramiel waved goodbye and left them behind. The trio were fighting for the plate and Hojo who was stronger than them beat the shit out of them for it.
