Chapter 159: Manually Created Version of the Ten Thousand Snake Formation

"Kazuyama! I'll give you my chakra!"

"But I told you to punch the Eight-Tails, not the big black guy!"

Chōmei frantically injected his chakra into Kazuyama's body.

Kazuyama snapped back, "Do I want to fight him? This jerk won't leave me alone!"

"I don't care! Chōmei, I'm going to beat him up this time! Support me with chakra!"

A thick cloud of white smoke burst forth—the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, an advanced variation of the standard Shadow Clone Techn...

Chapter 51: Stopping the "Brainwashing"

After hearing the group's descriptions, Najenda had a general idea of the situation.

Still, she wanted to confirm something. "So, was he hostile toward you at all?"

"No, not at all," Akame replied. "Though, when I said I was going to kill Kurome, he did direct a brief killing intent at me."

As Night Raid’s ace assassin, Akame was highly attuned to detecting hostility and bloodlust from others.

It was a skill she had honed back in the Empire’s Assassination Unit. He...

Chapter 50: Siscon Sentiment

"Ah, sorry, I forgot," Blayn said, quickly letting go of Kurome's hand with a slightly awkward smile.

"Why are you apologizing? I never said I disliked it," Kurome replied.

"...What is even happening right now?" Blayn sighed, feeling exasperated.

"Let’s keep walking," Kurome said, stepping forward with a lighthearted pace.

As Blayn caught up, Kurome suddenly asked, "Commander, we could have fought back just now. Why did it feel like you were deliberately avoiding a f...

Chapter 49: Akame and Kurome's Resolve

Akame was an undeniable siscon.

Unless it was a man she personally approved of, she couldn’t stand seeing Kurome getting close to any other guy.

So at this moment, Akame completely lost her composure.

However, she was still capable of assessing the situation and quickly suppressed her emotions, reverting to the cold, ruthless assassin she had trained to be.

Drawing Murasame from its sheath, she made her decision—tonight, she would personally put Kurome to rest!

Chapter 48: Strolling with Kurome, Encountering Akame and Night Raid

"Yes, Commander, let Kurome go with you for a walk. We're really fine, so you don't have to worry about us," Kelly added.

It wasn’t just Kurome and Kelly—everyone else also brushed off the contents of the documents, thinking Blayn was simply concerned for them.

None of them realized how severely Blayn's actions had violated the rules. If the higher-ups found out, they would undoubtedly have him and Seryu arrested.

"Alright, maybe I was just overthinking things," Blayn sa...

Chapter 47: Kurome's Concern

"Exactly. As their managers and commanders, you really shouldn't be this surprised."

"They're newcomers, so they probably just found out about all this."

"A word of advice—these policies were set by the bigwigs above. If you don’t enforce them properly, you’ll be the ones in trouble."

...

The researchers showed little to no concern for the children.

They only cared about following orders. Anyone with rebellious thoughts had already been dealt with, and thos...

Chapter 46: Medical Data

Blayn noticed Kurome's embarrassed expression as her pace of eating slowed significantly, as if she had lost her appetite.

Her face was slightly flushed as she lowered her head, nibbling at her dessert in small bites.

Sensing that Kurome was feeling troubled, Blayn quickly stepped in to clear up the misunderstanding.

He explained to the shop owner and his wife, "No, she and I are just colleagues. It's not what you think."

"Oh, we were being too presumptuous."

Rea...

Chapter 45: Sharing Snacks

Meanwhile, Blayn had no idea what was happening at Night Raid’s headquarters—he didn’t even know who Leone was.

After he and Kurome left the restaurant, Leone didn’t follow them, so he didn’t think much of the blonde woman from earlier.

As they walked through the streets of the Imperial Capital...

“Commander, are you really not going to use these three days off for more training?”

Kurome suddenly asked.

It seemed like she was hoping to take advantag...

Chapter 44: Night Raid

There was a secret base hidden in the mountains about ten kilometers north of the Imperial Capital.

It was the current headquarters of the assassination group "Night Raid."

At present, Night Raid had seven members: Mine, Najenda, Akame, Lubbock, Sheele, Leone, and Bulat.

Almost all of them were Teigu users, with the sole exception of their leader, Najenda. Her previous Teigu, Pumpkin, had been passed on to Mine, and the Revolutionary Army had yet to assign her a new one.

Chapter 43: Leone

Blayn fell silent, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

He really didn’t need the blanket, but he hadn’t expected Kurome to be so concerned about him. She probably thought his body was still weak from using two Teigus at once.

“I don’t know what to say... but thank you.”

After thinking it over, that was all Blayn could manage.

Hearing no response from Kurome, he assumed she had actually fallen asleep this time. But that wasn’t the case.

Kurome ...

Chapter 42: A Quilt

Blayn felt slightly embarrassed and tried to brush the topic aside.

“Regardless, you’re the true owner of Yatsufusa. Even if you handed it over to me, wielding two Teigus at the same time would be too much of a burden. So don’t overthink it.”

“Okay.”

Kurome nodded.

Given the current situation, if Blayn had actually wanted to take Yatsufusa from her, she wouldn’t have hesitated to agree.

But in truth, he wasn’t suited for Yatsufusa. Even if he took...

Chapter 41: Beheading a Super-Class Danger Beast

The principle was the same as “Kamui Shuriken”—both belonged to the same type of ability. In theory, Blayn could also imbue his black and white dual swords with the power of Kamui if he wished.

However, borrowing Kurome's “Yatsufusa” allowed him to achieve two goals at once—earning System Points while also adding the Super-Class Danger Beast, Death Tagool, to Yatsufusa’s ranks.

Wielding the Kamui-enhanced Yatsufusa, Blayn slashed directly at Death Tagool, who was sti...

Chapter 40: Kamui Enchantment, Kamui Yatsufusa!

"These bones are pretty old… and there are quite a few large Danger Beast remains here. It seems like a Super-Class Danger Beast was definitely active in this area. But we can’t be sure if it’s still hibernating or if it’s already moved to another habitat."

Blayn whispered his analysis.

Given the sheer size of a Super-Class Danger Beast, even after venturing this deep into Seiga Cave, the passage ahead remained incredibly vast.

"We’ll find out once we reach the ver...

Chapter 39: Seiga Cave

Although it wasn’t a big deal in itself, the fact that Kurome could stay this calm was simply due to her naturally blank demeanor.

"Alright."

Blayn took a small cookie from Kurome’s snack bag. He could immediately feel her gaze fixated on him, as if she was afraid he’d take the opportunity to steal one for himself.

"Relax, I’m not going to take your cookies."

Saying this, he carefully held the cookie by its edge with his thumb and forefinger, preparing to feed ...

Chapter 38: Feed Me

Blayn immediately realized what Kurome was referring to—she wanted to head to Seiga Cave in search of a hibernating Super-Rank Danger Beast.

"Of course I haven't forgotten."

Blayn replied.

"Then we can leave today or tomorrow."

Kurome said right away.

"Let’s go today. The sooner we leave, the sooner we’ll be back. It’d be best if we return while everyone is still on break."

Blayn hoped Kurome would have a chance to enjoy some rest as well.

"Se...

Chapter 37: Conflict of Interest

"Commander Seryu is already so strong, and yet she's still Commander Blayn’s apprentice. If that's the case... just how strong is Commander Blayn...?"

"It feels like Commander Blayn has never truly revealed his real strength. We really underestimated him before."

"It looks like the Empire hasn’t abandoned us after all. Not only is our current Commander stronger than the previous one, but he also treats us well."

...

Everyone couldn't help but express their amazemen...

Chapter 36: The Contrast Is Too Strong

Early morning.

As the sky brightened, visibility improved significantly, even though the sun had yet to rise. The members of Team B were already awake, getting up early to resume their unfinished training.

"Yesterday, the Special-Class Danger Beast, Verdant Chryseis, was taken down by Kurome. Team A is progressing much faster than us—we can't afford to lag too far behind," said Captain Kelly, rallying his team. "The Commander has been so good to us, so we mustn't disappoint him....

Chapter 35: Naturally Oblivious, Naturally Dark

"That's hard to say..."

Blayn said, "Your sister is Akame, right? Didn't she tell you anything before she left?"

Ever since hearing the name "Akame," he'd been paying attention.

After all, this world was Akame ga Kill, which meant Akame was likely the protagonist.

Blayn made a mental note to stay alert. If he ever encountered Akame, he couldn't afford to be careless.

After all, protagonists always had their "plot armor."

"She did. My sister tried t...

Chapter 34: Kurome Really Is an Idiot

"Huh...?"

Why... did he just call me an idiot?

Kurome's expression froze in shock, her eyes staring blankly at Blayn.

"She's not dead, yet you want to use Yatsufusa to turn her into a corpse puppet?"

Blayn looked completely baffled. "You guys don't actually think I'm going to 'discipline' her, do you?"

He was aware of the so-called "punishment" system, but it wasn't something imposed by the higher-ups—it had been put in place by the previous manager of the Enha...

Chapter 33: Teleportation

The moment the black giant scorpion burst out of the ground, Blayn immediately reacted.

This was undoubtedly a Special-Class Danger Beast—otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a strong ability to conceal its presence. Just moments ago, Blayn hadn’t sensed any trace of it underground.

There was no question that the orphans' lives were in danger. He had to intervene.

Running wouldn’t be fast enough, so he decisively activated the Dōjutsu of “Double Kamui.”

Both h...

Chapter 32: Teigu "Yatsufusa"

Blayn immediately turned toward the source of the disturbance. Though the dense forest obstructed his view, he could vaguely make out the silhouette of a Danger Beast.

Focusing his gaze, he saw that it appeared to be a plant-type Danger Beast, and its size was extraordinarily massive—far larger than the Class One and Class Two Danger Beasts he had encountered before. It was highly likely to be a Special Class Danger Beast.

"Prepare for battle! Stay alert!"

His stern comman...

Chapter 31: Special-Class Danger Beast

“I’m not going to take your snacks…”

Blayn spoke with a hint of awkwardness.

Then, he and Seryu led the group into a dense forest, a place where Danger Beasts were commonly found—perfect for training.

Upon arriving, Blayn came to a halt.

“Team A and B, don’t stray too far from each other,” he instructed. “That way, you can provide support if needed. Seryu and I will only step in if your lives are in immediate danger. Otherwise, you’re on your own.�...

Chapter 30: Kurome

“You’re Senna, right? The Shingu user who took over Prometheus from Tsukushi.”

“And you’re Kelly, the former captain of Team B.”

“And you, Joe—I remember you were the captain of Team C.”

...

Blayn had everyone introduce themselves one by one, carefully memorizing their faces as he went.

Thanks to his Mangekyō Sharingan, he had an almost perfect photographic memory.

For example, he had glanced at the roster back in the carria...

Chapter 29: The Empire's Assassination Corps

The base of the Empire's Assassination Unit was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere due to the series of recent events.

The elite group of seven had once been the most promising, chosen from a batch of children subjected to rigorous assassination training as the top performers. But now, not a single one remained—either dead or gone.

Most notably, Akame had outright defected, taking the Teigu Murasame with her.

The only members left in the assassination squad were those who orig...

Chapter 28: Akame and Kurome

Esdeath pushed aside the messy thoughts in her mind.

"The Prime Minister seems to want you transferred to the assassination unit," she said to Blayn.

"What kind of place is that? A department for carrying out assassinations?" Blayn asked.

"Something like that. Their main targets are rebels—like Night Raid, which has been making a lot of noise recently. I don’t know the details, but the assassination unit operates under the intelligence agency," Esdeath explained casually...

Chapter 27: Confused About Love

Not long ago, General Esdeath led an army to crush the southwestern foreign tribes. In just a few days, she returned with a resounding victory—a feat no previous general had ever accomplished.

Of course, this excluded General Budo, who rarely left the Imperial Capital, as his primary duty was guarding the palace.

With this latest triumph, Esdeath’s reputation soared once again.

As she walked through the streets, she was constantly surrounded by admirers.

Before lon...

Chapter 26: Esdeath’s Return

There was no clear right or wrong in these matters.

If Esdeath didn’t show cruelty to the foreign tribes, those same tribes would turn around and massacre innocent civilians along the Empire’s borders.

Unless complete unification was achieved, this endless cycle of blood feuds would never stop.

This world had yet to reach the level of civilization that Blayn had known before his transmigration. It was just as unreasonable to judge ancient feudal dynasties by modern moral...

Chapter 25: The Revolutionary Army

"Become my disciple?"

Blayn was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Seryu to make such a request.

"Is that... not allowed...?" Seryu asked softly.

"It's not that I can't, but I honestly don’t have much to teach you. If you don’t mind that, then I have no objections," Blayn replied frankly.

His strength came from the Double Kamui and the system's enhancements, so he felt he had nothing to teach Seryu. What was he supposed to do—teach her how to allocate skill...

Chapter 24: Seryu Takes a Master

At Seryu's command, Koro's body suddenly began to grow enormous.

The Teigu Hekatonkheires had the ability to gigantify, drastically increasing both its strength and defense. As long as its core remained intact, it would continue to regenerate, no matter how much damage it took.

Koro also had a secret technique—Berserk Mode—which made it grow even larger, its body packed with bulging muscles, enhancing its power to an extreme degree. However, the side eff...

Chapter 23: Koro

As the bald brute's neck snapped, his head rolled to the ground, his expression frozen in the moment before death. He likely had no idea how he died.

Blayn gained System Points from the kill.

[Ding! The Host has eliminated an 'Imperial Fist Temple Master' and received 12 System Points!]

However, using the Dōjutsu of Offensive Kamui had taken a massive toll on him.

He had activated his Dōjutsu twice—once for defensive intangibility and once for offensive spatial dis...
