Finishing the mission. Return.

Entering the archive, I see a man who isn't wearing pants next to two dead women, attempting to escape through a hidden door at the back of the room.

"What the fuck." I say, staring at the necropheliac in disbelief.

He freezes and I see his eyes widen as his face couldn't get any paler. Unless he was dead.

Even if he wasn't on the list, I would make him dead anyway.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I ask, genuinely disgusted.

"The dead don't judge." he says, as he starts firing rapid-fire energy beams at me.

I dodge them by the skin of my teeth while advancing forward, The beams are slower than lightning, and much faster than firebolts by alot.

I keep dodging and eventually I hit him fast by cleaving upwards, cutting him from groin to head, and he splits open like a watermelon to a cleaver.

One side of him falling to the front and the other side of him falling backwards.

I spit on his corpse and get the fuck out of there.

Eww eww eww.

Leone catches up to me as I was leaving, peaks into the room and then grimaces.

"Yeah, I agree," I say, referring to her reaction "Some people are really fucked up." I finish.

"Don't need to tell me twice!" She exclaims.

I look at her, "Let's forget this guy existed and go."

"Yup, time to return to base." she nods as we move on.

Exiting the horrible mansion of horrors we are greeted by a military force, which we immediately bypass with stealth, going on our marry way with nobody the wiser.

We exit the city and jump the gate, avoiding the scanning function by going over instead of through.

***

A few days later, we arrive at the base and I can finally relax by cultivating and relaxing with the everyone else.

***

-The next day.-

I wake up from my cultivation session to the sound of explosions.

"REPENT YOU PERVERT BASTARD!" I hear Mine shout.

"I WAS ONLY SENT TO WAKE YOU UP I SWEAR!" I hear Tatsumi reply.

I examine my spirit sea and notice through training and battle 2 extra pillars have risen in my spirit sea. I seem to be already at the 7th pillar of foundation establishment with the 8th pillar starting to form.

I shrug and decide to go downstairs.

I notice Akame training with Bulat and Lubbock who are both ignoring the noise and gunfire.

I decide to join them, "Hey! We haven't been introduced yet! My name is Bulat, and you can either call me handsome or bro!"

"I'm just gonna call you bro then, I can feel the rainbow energy flying everywhere and I want no part of it."

He pouts, like a girl, and I am a little freaked out by it. "That's the 2nd rejection in 2 weeks." He shrugs and gets back to doing handstand pushups.

Akame is doing sit ups and biting onto a large flank of meat with every flex of her abdominals.

"Do you want some?" Akame asks.

"No thanks I prefer working out before I eat, not during." I shrug, alittle surprised by the eccentricity of everyone around me.

"Suit yourself," she nods continuing to do sit ups.

I also continue my workout.

Lubbock remains silent, and on closer inspection he's muttering something.

I realize he's just repeating the words, "I'm surrounded by madness." over and over.

I deadpan, and we continue to workout.

there were no missions today, Tatsumi went out with Mine to the town for 'Training' but when Tatsumi explained it afterwards, it sounded like some kind of pseudo date with a side of domestic abuse.

***

the next day I go downstairs to the training yard at 7am, "Go outside and get Tatsumi to help Akame Cook breakfast" Najenda says, while reading the latest propaganda piece from the empire and simultaneously checking it against intelligence for any discrepancies.

I nod,"I was already heading to the training yard," "i say, and walk outside.

Moving outside I overhear "Why did you have to say it like that?" with Bulat being up close and personal with Tatsumi.

He then spots me and separates as fast as he can from his weirdly close arms.

"Nope," I say, "Nope nope nope." I continue.

"When you two are done being 100% flowery rainbow gay time, Akame is waiting for you to cook breakfast for everyone." I shrug.

"Nothing against you guys, but please keep it to private areas." I nod, and walk away. What a weird AU moment.

"What the fuck bro! now everyone will think I'm gay! I'm really not into that!" I overhear, and then walk back inside.
