Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

"Let's wait until the revolution is over."

There was excitement in Lubbock's eyes for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

Seeing this, Tatsumi didn't say anything more.

All the vows we made are just a piece of empty paper.

From the fact that he kept his love deep in his heart and never expressed it, we can see that Lubbock is a practical person.

Until there is no certainty that life will be adequately protected in the future.

He will not make promises to the one he loves easily.

......

The secret room is not big, about 20 square meters.

There is a table, four sofas, two long and two short, plus a bookshelf against the wall and a night raid flag on the wall.

It formed a small secret room.

"Tatsumi, this is the information I gathered about the contestants."

Coming to the table, Lubbock picked up a stack of documents on the table.

"You are as steady as ever."

Tatsumi smiled and waved his hands, "No need to look, except for the Imperial Tool User, who can be my opponent?"

Even an imperial weapon user may not be my opponent, except for that woman.

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Labock chuckled and handed the information in his hand to Tatsumi.

"alright."

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Tatsumi simply took the information and started reading it.

However, he did not read them one by one, but flipped through them quickly.

Like looking for some accurate information.

This operation made Lubbock a little confused.

Tatsumi stopped flipping through the pages.

His eyes rested on the information, which showed a burly man wearing a bull-head mask.

"Lubbock, do you want to make a bet?"

Tatsumi suddenly said.

"What are you betting on?" Lubbock was a little curious.

"Bet on my opponent tomorrow."

Tatsumi said as he handed the page of information in his hand to Lubbock.

"Let's gamble. What? Do you think you can predict the future?"

Lubbock laughed, obviously not believing what Tatsumi said.

Although he said this, he still took the information and read it carefully.

"Name: Kalbi."

"Identity: Butcher shop owner, former retired player of the Royal Fist Temple..."

......

......

The next day.

"East, butcher Kalbi!"

"West, Forger Tatsumi!"

The sound of the microphone echoed throughout the crowded and bustling arena.

The host, Will, was in the middle of the competition, introducing the identities of the two contestants to the audience.

auditorium.

"Wow, he was right. Can he really predict the future?"

Lubbock's face was filled with shock and confusion, and he stopped stuffing popcorn into his mouth as if he had pressed the pause button.

Yesterday he thought it was just a piece of information that Tatsumi picked up at random as a joke.

I didn’t expect it to be true!

"Huh? Lubbock, what's wrong with you? You're so surprised."

Leone, who came over to cheer for Tatsumi, noticed the change in Lubbock's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, Tatsumi...he can predict the future!"

Lubbock told the story mysteriously about what happened yesterday.

"Oh... my naughty brother has another trick up his sleeve?"

Leone was also a little surprised when he heard this, but he was more relieved.

The more abilities you have, the more ways you can save your life.

If he really has such ability, there should be no danger in the future.

My naughty brother, as long as you can live and be healthy, I, your sister, will be very happy.

SVLP audience stand.

Esdeath lazily lay in the chair, crossing her legs with a lack of interest.

Ran, who was standing on the side, looked at Tatsumi with great interest. "This boy doesn't look very old, but he dared to sign up for the competition. He must be quite capable."

Esdeath leaned her arm on the armrest of the chair, supporting her cheek, and did not react much to Lan's words.

From the beginning of the game, the excitement of the first match.

It's numb and boring now.

Esdeath finally understood that all these people who came to participate in the competition were doing it for that little bit of bounty. They were all just showing off their skills and none of them were worth looking at.

But the young man is quite handsome.

Her eyes lingered on Tatsumi.

I don't know why, but I feel a strange throbbing in my heart?

......

"Game start!"

Will raised his right hand and announced the start of the game.

Tatsumi looked up at Kalbi, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

This guy is quite tall, probably about 2.5 meters tall.

I don’t know what he ate growing up.

Kalbi put his hands on his hips and looked down at Tatsumi, "You're really short. The bounty is mine now."

"Although I was expelled from the sect, I was able to reach the 9th level of strength during my time at the Royal Fist Temple!"

The words were full of sarcasm and contempt.

Tatsumi looked at Kalbi and asked, "You mean, people who are shorter than you are weak?"

"What else?" Kalbi still had a sarcastic look on his face and replied without much thought.

Tatsumi chuckled, turned to look at Will and waved, "Referee, come over here."

Will was stunned and walked over in confusion, "Contestant Tatsumi, what's wrong?"

"Referee, what if someone insults the Emperor and General Esdeath?"

"Who dares to do this?" Will answered without hesitation, "At the very least, they will be sent to prison, at the worst, they will be killed on the spot!"

As Kalbi listened to Tatsumi's words, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second he heard Tatsumi say:

"This contestant is so arrogant that he says that people shorter than him are weaklings. I think that should include the Emperor, Minister Ernest, General Esdeath..."

"Shut up!" Kalbi shouted in horror and wanted to step forward to cover Tatsumi's mouth.

Can this matter be talked about casually? If it gets out, who wouldn’t lose their head?

Kalbi definitely won't take the blame for such a big incident!

Tatsumi leaned back slightly, easily dodging Kalbi's move.

Looking at Will, "Referee, Karlbi's tone is a bit loud. Can you tolerate this?"

"..."

Will's expression suddenly darkened. If this matter were to reach the captain's ears, he would definitely be subjected to inhumane torture.

But looking at Kalbi's horrified expression, it didn't seem like something he would say.

He curled his lips and looked at Tatsumi, "Do you think I look easy to fool?"

He thought the latter would give up, but after hearing this, Tatsumi looked him up and down and nodded seriously.

Will was silent.

"The halftime break is over, the game begins!"

Will chose not to pay attention to Tatsumi. In the last game, he wanted a perfect ending.

"Hehehe, you little bastard, are you slandering me?"

His fists creaked, and Kalbi glared at Tatsumi fiercely, "I'll let you know what it means to speak out of turn."

After saying that, Kalbi raised his fists and rained down on Tatsumi.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…”

His movements seemed unusually slow in Tatsumi's eyes.

Easily catching Kalbi's fist, Tatsumi raised his brows, "Weaker than I thought."

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!!!"

Kalbi felt insulted and had no time to think about why the other party's small body could contain such powerful strength.

The other fist hit Tatsumi's forehead hard from the side.

Tatsumi's eyes turned slightly cold.

This punch was aimed at the vital points.

If it falls on an ordinary person, he will either die or be disabled.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

It is his principle in life.

Since you are so cruel, don't blame me for being even more cruel.

Tatsumi's mind moved, and his figure flashed to the side like a ghost, easily avoiding Kalbi's attack.

Then he threw a backhand punch straight at Kalbi's face.

Although Kalbi reacted quickly, Tatsumi's attack speed was even faster.

His body couldn't keep up with his brain, and he only had time to raise his hand to block, but Tatsumi's fist was like a hammer, hitting his arm hard.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound.

Kalbi's arm was broken instantly, and the severe pain made him scream.

While Kalbi was in unbearable pain, Tatsumi kneed him hard in the abdomen.

"Wait, I admit..."

After suffering a loss, Kalbi finally realized the gap between himself and Tatsumi and immediately wanted to admit defeat.

He is here to make money, not to die.

however.

Only half of the sentence was said.

A sharp pain came from the abdomen, causing the facial expression to become unbalanced and distorted.

Under the impact of terrifying force.

Kalbi suddenly flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"Referee, announce the result."

Tatsumi said to Will without even looking at Kalbi on the ground.

"Forehead..."

Will was stunned when he saw Kalbi lying on the ground for a long time.

Couldn't he be dead?

He is just a referee, life and death have nothing to do with him.

And there is no rule that there can be no casualties during the competition.

The captain had deliberately omitted this evil idea, but he didn't expect that Tatsumi would actually do it!

Hearing Tatsumi's words, Will came back to his senses and quickly picked up the microphone and said, "The winner is Tatsumi!"

The sound was transmitted throughout the auditorium through the microphone, and the audience immediately cheered loudly.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

"Ouch!!!!"

"嘤嘤嘤!!!"

......

"Captain, that young man is quite capable and decisive. He is a good prospect."

Ran expressed her appreciation for Tatsumi for the first time.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

The battle seemed to be over in a short time.

It would be difficult to achieve this without solid physical fitness and ever-changing combat experience.

"team leader......?"

Lan turned around in confusion when he got no response.

I saw my captain looking excited.

Esdeath came back to her senses, her eyes flashing with sharpness, "He is indeed a good candidate."

Lan continued, "Yes, Captain. The boy's attack speed and strength are amazing, and his reaction speed is also very fast. He can make the most correct judgment in a short time. Such strength is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess."

After hearing this, Esdeath showed a satisfied smile on her face.

A voice that only I could hear murmured, "Tatsumi... you succeeded in getting my attention."
