.

"Pardon me, your Highness, but it seems the Great General Budo wants to see you," Said the palace soldier while bowing toward Augustav and the others.

"I see it seems that he already heard that I have been cured, well that was fast," Said Augustav with a wry smile.

Tetsuya, who is still eating the steak, could only shrug since he knew there is a chance that Budo is going to come here as soon as the Emperor is cured.

"Then can you bring Budo here?" Said Augustav with a smile while looking at the palace soldier who is near the door.

"Yes, Your Highness!!" The palace soldier then goes outside as the door then closes.

After a few minutes, the door then slowly opens as Budo shows up in front of the door, he then slowly walks inside the dining room as he then looks at Augustav with a relieved expression, and then bows to him.

"It's good to have you back, your highness," Said Budo while bowing at Augustav.

"Yes thank you, Budo," Said Augustav with a smile on his face while looking at Budo.

'Well even 10 years before the Akame Ga Kill story plotline Budo is still bulky nonetheless, but he looks younger, unlike that assassin bald head that I killed a year ago since his appearance is the same as Akame Ga Kill Zero... If I'm not wrong, the person's name is Bill,' Thought Tetsuya as he is looking at Budo while remembering something in the past.

{A/N: Bill - akamegakill.fandom.com/wiki/Uncle_Bill}

A year ago Tetsuya killed Bill because he was doing some illegal experiments in the capital, and he was also in the possession of so much money. Well, he also stole Murasame from Gozuki, when Gozuki was trying to assist Bill but it was too late since Tetsuya already killed Bill before Gozuki arrived. Well, he also stole Gozuki Murasame by using [The World] which causes Gozuki to lose Murasame without him noticing.

{A/N: Gozuki - akamegakill.fandom.com/wiki/Gozuki

Murasame - akamegakill.fandom.com/wiki/Murasame}

Well, Tetsuya didn't kill Gozuki since he didn't have any reason to do that due to Gozuki not being as corrupt as the bald head he just killed, though he also somehow have fun seeing Gozuki in despair when Gozuki realized he doesn't have Murasame, as soon he realized he had fun seeing Gozuki in despair he stopped at what he was doing and then flew away as he didn't want to become more sadistic than he ever wanted to be.

Moving back to the current situation, right now Budo's eyes are moving toward Tetsuya after bowing toward Augustav.

"I see so you must be the young alchemist who cures the Emperor, I give my utmost thanks to you for saving the Emperor," Said Budo with a smile while looking at Tetsuya.

"Don't worry about it," Said Tetsuya with a wry smile on his face while looking at Budo.

Budo only nods at Tetsuya as he then suddenly looks beside Tetsuya and notices that Katherine is sitting beside Tetsuya. When Budo sees Katherine sitting besides Tetsuya, he is so surprised as he then questions Augustav.

"Your highness, why is the princess in the dining room?!" Said Budo with a surprised expression as he still thinks that Katherine still suffers from Hormoid disease.

"Ah... You still don't know yet? Well, I couldn't blame you since she just got cured by Tetsuya here." Said Augustav while looking toward Budo with a smile as he implored the young man to Tetsuya.

'What?! To think the young alchemist is so talented that he can cure an incurable disease,' Thought Budo with a shocked expression on his face.

"Kid, your name must be Tetsuya right? Since you cured the Emperor and the princess, I as the Great General of the Empire give you my utmost thanks again. As for my gratitude for curing the Emperor and the princess I would give you a reward other than the reward that the Emperor will give, that is if the Emperor doesn't mind?" Asked Budo while looking at Augustav for confirmation.

"I don't mind at all," Said Augustav who nodded at Budo with a smile.

'Looks like I will get many rewards today, but when I imagine the reward from a bulky man like Budo, somehow I got a bad feeling. But somehow the Budo I know right now and the Budo from anime and manga are a little bit different... Is there any age factor where he is nicer than his older self or is it connected to the death of the Emperor if I didn't interfere... Well who knows, right now let's see what reward he will give to me,' Thought Tetsuya with a wry smile while looking at Budo.

"Then I'm going to train you physically so that you can defend yourself from others as an Alchemist," Said Budo with a smile while looking at Tetsuya.

'Well, my bad feeling was right and this somehow ended in Budo wanting to train me... Does my body really look that weak?! Oh yeah right now I cover my body with a cloak, so no one is able to see my body physically... But this somehow becoming more troublesome than it is, the only choice here is to agree and disagree, and if I agree it would be bothersome for me to be taught by this bulky guy since I'm stronger than him and he probably made me stay at the palace which made my time limited to spend with Mine in the hideout. But if I have to disagree, he probably would give me another reward or not... well I think I know what to say now,' thinks Tetsuya while looking at Budo with a deadpan expression on his face.

"So what would you say Tetsuya kid?" Asked Budo with a smile.

"Daga Kotowaru," Said Tetsuya while looking at Budo with a Jojo face.

{A/N: Did people from the Empire understand the Jojo reference? I even don't know if they understand Japanese lmao}

{E/N: Nah, they're uncultured, but yeah they understand Japanese, I mean Akame and the others are enough example,}

Everyone who heard this is shocked as they didn't think Tetsuya would reject Great General Budo's offer to train Tetsuya since this is a rare occasion to get trained by the Great General Budo himself. Even many soldiers in the empire want to be trained directly by the Great General Budo himself, but this is the first time that Budo wants to train an outsider who isn't affiliated with the imperial army.

"Can you give me any reason as to why you've refused?" Asked Budo with a confused expression while thinking maybe Tetsuya suffers a rare disease that his body is too weak that he cannot get any physical training, but he soon rejects that idea since he knew that Tetsuya is an alchemist that can cure an incurable disease.

"It's because I already have the ability to defend myself from any danger," Said Tetsuya proudly, well he could also say that he is stronger than Budo but that would be more troublesome to handle.

"Hoo... Is that so? Then how about this, if you can prove that you can defend yourself I can give you another kind of reward," Said Budo while looking at Tetsuya.

"(This bastard is persistent to the end that makes me want to slap him and why do I need to prove myself to get another reward... Could you just switch your training reward with other stuff!!) And What would the reward be?" Asked Tetsuya while showing an irritated expression in his mind.

"Your Highness, may I give this boy one of the Teigu from the Teigu storage room if he can prove himself that he is capable of defending himself?" Budo then looks at the Augustav while asking for confirmation about giving Tetsuya a teigu.

"Sure, why not since he really deserves it, but I think Tetsuya shouldn't need to prove himself to get the reward." Said Augustav while replying to Budo.

"No your highness, he needs to be worthy of the Teigu if he wants to use a Teigu, so I think trying to prove his capability is necessary in order to get a Teigu," Said Budo while explaining things at Augustav.

"I see that is true," Said Augustav while nodding.

'Sunuvabitch Budo, I'm too lazy to prove it to you!!' Thought Tetsuya who thought Budo was being unreasonable, but he thinks Budo has a point since Budo doesn't know his strength.

"What do you say, are you interested in the reward?" Asked Budo while looking at Tetsuya with a smile.

"Before I answer that, how do I prove myself?" Asked Tetsuya while looking at Budo.

"If you can withstand 5 of my attacks then you've already proven yourself, but if you fail to prove your capability then I will train you personally until I deem you worthy to use a Teigu, how about it, will you accept my condition?" Asked Budo while looking at Tetsuya with a smile on his face.

"(In the end I still would get to train you if I fail... What a pushover, well I just need to block 5 attacks from him and it will all be over) Then I accept your condition," Said Tetsuya while thinking that he only needs to block 5 attacks from Budo and it all will be over without him making any unnecessary attention that leads to revealing his power.

Suddenly a notification shows up in front of Tetsuya which makes Tetsuya showing a shocked expression on his face.
