Chapter 230: The Founding of the Jaegers

The day after her bout with Luo Yexi, Esdeath left Lingyun's villa and headed for the Imperial Palace.

Because the Three Beasts had all been taken down by Luo Yexi, Esdeath submitted a request to the young Emperor. She believed that the reason Night Raid was so powerful was that almost all of their members were Teigu Users. The power of a Teigu User was something others could not compare to. Therefore, she hoped the young Emperor would grant her an order to form a special police force composed of Teigu Users to counter Night Raid.

Minister Honest gave his full support to Esdeath's request. While others might not know the ultimate goal behind the founding of Night Raid, Honest had analyzed their actions and realized their final target was his own head. In order to break this sharp sword that might strike his head down from the shadows at any moment, Minister Honest granted Esdeath considerable authority. Soon, orders were sent out from the Imperial Capital to all parts of the country.

At the same time, Esdeath also took two people from Lingyun: Kurome and Seryu. Kurome chose to join the Jaegers because the Jaegers targeted Night Raid, and since Akame was currently in Night Raid, she had not yet given up on the idea of dragging Akame back. As for Seryu, she still made becoming an ally of justice her goal; joining the Jaegers might allow her to resolve more evil.

When Kurome and Seryu arrived at the Jaegers' meeting place, three people were already in the room: a naval officer from the Empire's border—Wave, a genius scientist with homosexual tendencies—Dr. Stylish, and a soldier from the Empire's Incineration Squad—Bols.

At this moment, Wave was lying on his chair looking completely burnt out, as if he had lost all hope for the world. One of his future companions looked as fierce as a terrorist, while the other was extremely narcissistic and had issues with his sexual orientation, which made him sigh that his future was looking bleak.

"So this time it's two beautiful girls, I hope they aren't some kind of weirdos too!" Wave muttered under his breath.

Although Wave's voice was very soft, the strength of Kurome and the other girl was not low, so his words were naturally heard by both of them. However, the two did not care and just casually found a seat. After all, looking at this guy's appearance, he was probably worn out by the first two.

"Looks like I'm the last one to arrive!" Just as Wave was sizing up the two newly arrived girls, a person holding a book walked into the room and greeted those present.

"Finally, a normal person has arrived!" Wave looked at Run, unable to hold back his tears.

After Run arrived, the next person to enter the room was Esdeath, wearing a mask. As soon as she entered the room, Esdeath launched an attack on the people inside.

Wave, that guy, was tragically kicked flying by Esdeath first, becoming a negative example for everyone. The second person to cross swords with Esdeath was Bols, who rushed out the moment Wave was kicked away to block Esdeath. Run then followed closely behind him, simultaneously launching an attack on Esdeath.

However, how could Esdeath's skill be something they could currently withstand? She easily escaped their pincer attack and then struck out at Kurome and the other girl, who were sitting to the side.

"Watch out!" Wave had just reacted from the surprise attack when he saw Esdeath rushing toward the two defenseless girls; he couldn't help but exclaim, his body rushing toward their direction.

Seeing Esdeath rushing toward them, Kurome, who was eating dessert, reached out and gripped the Samurai Sword placed beside her, while Seryu, who was playing with a puppy, also tightened her grip on her short sword. Then, everyone saw a brilliant light suddenly appear in front of the two. Looking closely, this brilliant light was actually composed of dense sword Qi and blade light, which shocked everyone present.

Facing their joint attack, Esdeath created a piece of ice under her feet, stepped on it, changed her posture in mid-air, and drifted toward the rear. As for that piece of ice, under Esdeath's step, it drifted toward that brilliant light, and upon touching the light, it turned into bits of crushed ice and vanished into the air.

"Hiss, is this the strength of my future companions?" Wave couldn't help but gasp, his eyes filled with shock.

"Crack, crack..." Esdeath landed, but the mask on her face developed countless cracks, then shattered and fell to the ground. It turned out that Kurome's blade Qi had shattered this mediocre-quality mask from a distance.

"General Esdeath?" Seeing Esdeath reveal her true face, Bols couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is General Esdeath? As the rumors say, she really is an extremely beautiful woman!" Wave couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"It seems everyone is here, and judging by your performance just now, except for that idiot who was kicked away at the start, the rest of you have some real skill!" Esdeath looked at the people present, revealing an ambiguous smile. "Now, your mission is to accompany me to see His Majesty and have him finalize the name of our unit."

"General Esdeath, what is the name of our unit?" Wave asked.

"Special Police Force, Jaegers!" Esdeath said indifferently.

At the same time, Najenda also learned through her spies that Esdeath had established the Jaegers unit to counter Night Raid. Upon learning that Esdeath had specifically formed a Teigu User unit to counter them, Najenda's heart sank.

After thinking for a while, she finally decided to have Akame temporarily act in her place, while she would go to the Revolutionary Army's headquarters to see if she could find powerful reinforcements.
