~~TIME SKIP 8 MONTHS~~

8 months have passed since Masaomi and Cleria's accident. After that accident, Tetsuya and the others are exploring Kuoh for holiday purposes.

Unfortunately, Cleria, Masaomi, and Clarissa can only stay inside Yukio's house as long as they are on Kuoh in order to stay low until they move to Kyoto. They also reforged their identity as they changed their names though only Clarissa's name didn't change since her name is only known by Masaomi, Cleria, and Cleria's peerage before the accident which is unnecessary for her to change her name, other than that they also changed their family name.

Yukio who disguises himself as the 'Vermillion Ogre' then goes to the underworld sneakily and also told the news about how Cleria is still being alive to Diehauser and the rest of the Belial family which they are happy about Cleria being alive, but also mad at the Great King Faction on trying to assassinate Cleria. As for Yukio's journey on trying to reveal the King Piece's existence, that is for another time to tell.

After Tetsuya and the others go back home to Kyoto, 2 months later Touji and his family move out to England due to Touji being related to the Masaomi and Cleria accident.

Anyway back to the current timeline where 8 months has passed since then, right now Tetsuya is already 7 years old as he can be seen inside a big room while standing beside him is a black katana who right now is stuck on the floor, well the identity of the black katana is the 'Gravity Blade' that he obtained from Cleria and Masaomi mission accident.

"Finally the room in this area is done. Doesn't this look fabulous 'Realta'! The furniture and the other stuff kinda looks awesome right? And finally, with this my hideout is perfect!" Tetsuya who called the name 'Realta' towards the black sword could only smile proudly while looking around the big room. 'Realta' is the name he decided to name the 'Gravity Blade' since there is sentience inside the sword. The name 'Realta' itself takes inspiration from the word 'Star' which is the translation from Irish, and the reason he chooses the word star is probably that it is related to gravity. And as for why he is very proud is because he finally finished creating his own hideout inside a mountain in the middle of nowhere.

And just to be clear, yes the Tetsuya we are seeing right now is the Tetsuya that is living in an unknown area in the Akame ga Kill world. For the past year, Tetsuya learned many things from reading inside the library inside of his house, and because of this, he got so many mastery skills due to reading the book from the library room. The skill mastery that he uses right now to build this room inside the mountain is [Architecture Mastery] that he used in order to build a good room inside the mountain and also [Sculpting Mastery] that he used in order to sculpt good furniture from wood.

{A/N: I will change the name 'Gravity Blade' into 'Realta' from now on.}

"It's only just a hideout..." After hearing Tetsuya, 'Realta' just replied to Tetsuya with an unimpressed tone.

"You don't understand 'Realta', the sense of achievement to create your own hideout." Tetsuya could only smile proudly as he looks at the room

"If you have the time to idle around why don't you just kill some monster that you call Danger Beasts or some bandit that you can find?" said 'Realta'.

"No, I have something more important to do later on." Said Tetsuya who then opens his [MISSION] system and looks at certain missions.

------------------

The Beginning of a Corrupt Empire

◉Difficulty: A+

◉Clear Conditions:

▪ Kill Honest

▪ Prevent the Emperor from getting killed (Time left Before death: 146:45:310)

◉Mission Reward:

▪ [Golden Rule]

▪ Obtained 1.550.000 System-point

▪ Obtained 2.350.000 EXP of [STATUS] Level

------------------

The mission that he looks at right now, is the mission that he received one year ago. There are some things that interested Tetsuya from this mission and that is the 'Golden Rule'; a skill that can make wealth come to you. If Tetsuya were to obtain this skill, he now can imagine all the great reward he can receive from the mission that the system gave him or all the treasure he can find in every world he goes, and even the result that gacha will give him, which he wants to see if his luck status can make the reward even greater.

"Oh is it about the thing where you must save the Emperor?" Asked 'Realta'.

"Yep, since doing this will give me great reward." Said Tetsuya with a smile on his face.

"'Great reward, you mean by using the power to summon me to your world?" Asked 'Realta' once again.

"Yep." Tetsuya only nods at 'Realta'.

Suddenly from a certain direction of the door, there is a voice of a girl that resounds from the door as the door opens.

"Shishou!!!"

{A/N: Shishou means teacher/master of some traditional performance or skills if you don't know.}

The girl then runs toward Tetsuya as she then stops in front of him.

"I have already finished the shooting session." Said the girl in front of Tetsuya.

"Good, now let's continue to close combat session Mine." Said Tetsuya who then went to the Training room that he created in his hideout with the girl. The girl in front of him has the appearance of a 7 years old, which is the same age as Tetsuya though she is a bit shorter than Tetsuya. Tetsuya's height right now has reached 137 cm which if you compare to the girl is only 112 cm tall. The girl also has long pink hair which gets tied into a twintail hairstyle. Yes, the girl in front of him is named Mine.

{A/N: akamegakill.fandom.com/wiki/Mine}

Tetsuya met her 3 months ago on the western border of the empire. At that time the Emperor already got sick due to Honest's poison, and Honest had begun to act on his own which he then attacked the countries in the west. Tetsuya accidentally met her when he saw her in the slum area where she gets thrown by many things due to her being half foreign which makes people discriminate against her.

But after Tetsuya showed some sword technique using a wood stick to deflect all the things that are thrown at Mine, Mine who have a dull eye at that time started to look at Tetsuya as a glimmer of light which causes her to follow Tetsuya around, this led to Tetsuya into making her as his disciple since she doesn't want to stop following him, though Tetsuya also is interested to train her since she has the talent in sniping long-range. But Tetsuya's main objective in taking Mine as a disciple is to give her a place where she can call home since she already doesn't have any parents anymore.

Tetsuya and Mine then left the room leaving Realta who was stuck on the floor behind.

"... They left me behind..."

.

- Hideout Training room -

Tetsuya and Mine right now are standing 3 meters apart as they are in a 50x50 square Training room.

"Since I'm in a good mood and you have been asking this quite a lot, then let's spar with each other." Said Tetsuya while looking at Mine,

"Finally, I can have a spar with Shishou!" Said Mine with a happy smile on her face.

"Why don't we make this more fun, If you can hit me once, I can give you anything that you want, as long as it is in my capability." Said Tetsuya with a smile.

"Really?!" Mine who heard is excited and determined, but somehow she has a little blush.

"But if you don't hit me in 5 minutes, I will be adding 2 times more of your training sessions for tomorrow." Said Tetsuya with a cruel smile.

"Ehh... That isn't fair!" Said Mine while pouting with a surprised expression.

"I think it is fair, but if you don't want to it's okay, I will not add any condition to the sparring." Said Tetsuya.

"No... It's okay, I can do this." Said Mine with a determined expression.

"That is the spirit! Now let's start the sparring match." Said Tetsuya with a smile.

As soon as Mine hears this she then rushes toward Tetsuya with full speed.

'Not bad, she now can enhance her leg faster than before and her movement speed also increased.' thinks Tetsuya while smiling. At first, when Tetsuya started training Mine, he was curious whether he can awaken someone's mana since the first time he looks around in this world there isn't anyone who has mana on his body, and the only thing that is related to the magic that he knew is probably either a Teigu or a Shingu. So the word mana is somehow almost nonexistent in this world. But when he tried to awaken Mine's mana, it easily awakened as Mine's mana started to grow fast in the past 3 months. In the past 3 months, Tetsuya has been teaching many things including a few basics in magic, and this is why she knew how to enhance her body.

{A/N: Teigu information : akamegakill.fandom.com/wiki/Teigu

Shingu Information: akamegakill.fandom.com/wiki/Shingu}

Mine then appeared in front of Tetsuya and was about to get ready on giving Tetsuya a right kick which Tetsuya only evaded easily.

Mine who sees that her right kick has been evaded by Tetsuya, then continues her attack by giving several punches toward Tetsuya.

Tetsuya who sees this only evades all of Mine punches which makes Mine a little bit pout.

Mine then does a high jump and does a dropping kick toward Tetsuya which Tetsuya only moves just a little to the right in order to evade.

All this continues until 5 minutes have passed since the beginning of the spar. Mine hasn't landed any hits toward Tetsuya due to Tetsuya evading all of her attacks which makes Mine spend all of her mana. This makes Mine exhausted and dizzy due to overusing her mana.

"I already told you that you mustn't use all your mana or you be dizzy just like this." Said Tetsuya while sighing.

"Shishou is too strong! Is Shishou really the same age as me!" Said Mine while pouting.

"Yep, we're both the same age... But, I can tell that all of your movements have already improved drastically." Said Tetsuya who then changed the subject while complementing Mine with a smile.

"Is that so?" Mine who heard Tetsuya praise is happy which she then puts a blush on her face.

"Anyway, don't forget that your training session is gonna be 2 times the intensity tomorrow since I will not be in here tomorrow for a little while." Said Tetsuya.

"Where are you going Shishou?" Asked Mine with a curious expression. Mine is not scared of Tetsuya leaving her alone in the hideout because this is not the first time he left her alone in the hideout. Even if Tetsuya left, he will only be left for a few hours which makes Mine not scared to be alone in the big hideout.

"I'm going to the capital since I have some business in there, anyway here is some mana potion to recover your potion." Said Tetsuya.

"Thank you Shishou, though the potion still tastes weird as usual." Said Mine as she then drinks the mana potion.

"Well you will get used to it, anyway I'm going to prepare some lunch, so you can go to the dining room now." Said Tetsuya with a smile.

"Okay~" Said Mine with a happy smile since she cannot wait to taste Tetsuya cook.
