Jaeger

Inside the magnificent palace hall, the Little Emperor sat on a throne surrounded by various gold ornaments and jewels. Despite his calm appearance, his face looked anxious. Beside him, Minister Honest stood with a calm demeanor as he chewed on some greasy meat, his eyes gleaming with calculation. Recently, news of the Night Raid's assassination of nobles had reached their ears, and the atmosphere in the palace had become increasingly tense.

"Esdeath will be here soon, my lord," Honest said in a calm tone, trying to calm the restless Little Emperor. "She has just returned from the battle in the North. She is the only one capable of dealing with Night Raid efficiently."

The Little Emperor nodded, though cold sweat was running down his forehead. "Do we really have to ask for her help? Isn't she… too cruel?"

"Esdeath's cruelty is our asset, my lord. She has a power that no one else has. If we want to end Night Raid's reign of terror, we must utilize all available resources."

Honest smiled faintly, a smile that showed no empathy.

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and Esdeath stepped in gracefully. Her shining military uniform showed that she was a formidable warlord. An aura of power and fear surrounded her presence, everyone in the room knew who she was.

"My lord," Esdeath greeted in a deep, firm voice. "I hear that there is a problem that needs to be handled."

The Little Emperor shook slightly in his seat, but tried to appear calm. "Esdeath, Night Raid… they have killed many nobles in the capital. We… we need your expertise to deal with them."

"I have heard of Night Raid. They are a group of daring assassins. However, they have no idea what will happen to them if they face me." Esdeath smiled, a smile that was cold and confident.

The Little Emperor looked at Honest, who nodded his head in agreement.

"So, what is your plan, Esdeath?" the Little Emperor asked, his voice shaking.

"Since Night Raid are assassins made up of Teigu users, then I will form a special unit made up of Teigu users and hunt them down," Esdeath replied, her eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, General Esdeath," said the Little Emperor with a serious face.

"Is that right, Prime Minister?" The little emperor asked Honest for his opinion, his previous serious face had crumbled.

"Your Majesty is wise," Honest immediately praised while chewing meat without respecting the emperor. Hearing Honest's agreement, the little emperor immediately smiled with a proud face.

Seeing their interaction, Esdeath didn't care because she didn't respect the emperor either, Esdeath's relationship with Honest was just a collaboration.

...

A black-haired, dark blue-eyed young man looked at the imperial capital in awe of the splendor of the capital. The young man was wearing a navy blue shirt with a red scarf around his neck, on his back he carried a basket filled with fish. At first glance, one could tell that he was not from the capital, but from the coast.

He was Wave who received an invitation to join a special unit founded by Esdeath, Wave was an imperial navy soldier. He was a Teigu Grand Chariot user, an armor-shaped Teigu similar to Incursio, but attack-oriented. The difference is that the Grand Chariot does not have the evolution ability of incursio.

After observing the capital, Wave continued his journey to the meeting place.

.....

Opening the door, Wave was shocked to see a muscular man with a strange mask on his face, who at first glance looked like a criminal.

"Sorry, I think I'm in the wrong room" Wave said as he closed the door. Wave thought he had entered the wrong room, so he immediately went out. But when Wave looked back at the address written on the door, he knew he had not.

"Hello...." Wave greeted as he re-entered the room. The masked man was silent while watching Wave.

"Here I brought fish, let me cook it for a while" Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Wave immediately offered to cook fresh fish that he brought from his hometown.

"Then I'll make some tea" said the masked man in a gentle tone, in contrast to his muscular body and appearance like a criminal. He was Bols, formerly a member of the Incineration Squad who was tasked with burning a prisoner to death and even burned down an entire village at one point. he is the user of Teigu Purgatory Invitation: Rubicante.

'He seems like a good person' Wave thought as he was stunned to hear Bols was going to make tea.

While they were in the kitchen, a young girl with short black hair and black eyes entered the room, the girl sat on a chair and ate snacks. The girl wore a black sailor uniform with a red belt, a katana hanging from her waist. The girl's appearance was similar to Akame, only she was younger and had black eyes. She was Kurome, Akame's younger sister and the user of the March of Dead Teigu: Yatsufusa.

Not long after Kurome arrived, the door to the room opened again and a young man with bright blonde hair and golden eyes entered the room. He wore a white robe over a black shirt and pants with a brown belt, a feather pin behind his left ear, and an accessory like a collar around his neck. He was Run, the user of the Thousand mile flight Teigu: Mastema. Previously, Run was a teacher who taught children near Joyou, but after he returned from an assignment, he found that his students had experienced terrible deaths where before being killed they were sexually abused. This caused Run to be depressed and search for the culprit for a long time before finding some clues that were not too important because until now he had not found the killer.

Following behind Run was a young woman with reddish brown hair and yellow eyes wearing an imperial guard uniform, she tied her hair in a long ponytail that almost touched the ground. She was Seryu Ubiquitous, a police officer of the imperial capital and a student of Oka who was killed by Night Raid. Although Seryu had a kind and friendly personality to the people of the capital, she had a distorted view of absolute justice. She was the user of the Teigu Hekatonkhires, a biological Teigu in the form of a puppy, which she called Koro. Unlike other Teigu, biological Teigu could move like living creatures and had terrifying regeneration abilities.

Because Dr. Stylish was killed by Noah, there were only 5 people summoned by Esdeath. After Bols finished preparing the tea, they quickly got acquainted and exchanged a few words before the awkward atmosphere eased a bit, only Kurome who was busy with her snacks didn't really care about their conversation.

...Bang....

While they were chatting, the door to the room slammed open with a bang and a masked woman with blue hair stepped in with a shocking courage. A strong aura of power surrounded her, making everyone in the room feel a real threat. Without a word, she attacked. Wave, who was still shocked, did not have time to react. With a quick and powerful kick, the woman slammed into his body, sending him flying into the wall. His body hit the hard surface hard, and pain spread throughout his body.

Kurome and other, who saw Wave fall, immediately prepared to fight back. However, the masked woman was faster. She launched herself towards Kurome at a surprising speed, dodging all of Kurome's attacks with graceful yet deadly movements. The fight between them was one-sided. The woman moved like the wind, each of her attacks a deadly combination of speed and power. Kurome tried hard to retaliate, but the attacks were too fast for her to catch. In an instant, Kurome fell to the ground, panting, helpless against the woman's power. In no time, only Run was left standing.

"Nice to meet you, General Esdeath" Run, who witnessed all this, felt that the situation was getting more and more terrifying. However, as the woman prepared to launch an attack on him, his instincts prompted him to speak.

Having been recognized, the woman took off her mask and revealed Esdeath's face behind the mask.

"Oh?, since when did you recognize me?" Esdeath asked curiously.

"At first I wasn't sure, but after seeing you defeat Wave and the others, I was sure it was you. Because no one could defeat us easily other than you, who is known as the strongest general in the empire." Run analyzed calmly.

"Your strength is quite good, I called you here to join the special forces that I will form to hunt down Night Raid" Esdeath said with a dominant aura.

"General Esdeath, what is the name of our troops?" Wave asked who had just gotten up from the ground.

"I named it, Jaeger" Esdeath said firmly.
