The Assassin Huntsman

Chapter 3: Kill the Grudge

~Forest Near Night Raid Hideout~
*Narrator POV*

Inside a nearby forest, Night Raid runs through the woods to eliminate a group of tribal assassins that have wondered too close to their hideout. Thanks to Lubbock's Imperial Arms, the team was able to find out. Currently running through the woods, Night Raid splits apart and leaving both Tatsumi and (Y/N) with Bulat. 

"Tatsumi, you're still a little new to go up against a big group like this So try to be careful! The first thing is to let your body get a good feel for the battlefield!" Bulat said to Tatsumi before the incoming battle. "(Y/N), I shouldn't expect much since you're used to fighting big odds like this."

"HA! Try at least 20-30 at the very least," (Y/N) corrected Bulat. "But coming from tribal assassin sizes, make it 10."

"The second thing you two," Bulat added as both Tatsumi and (Y/N) looked at him. "Please either call me "Handsome" or "Bro.""

"You got it, Bro!" Tatsumi replied calling Bulat "Bro."

"I'm calling you "Homes" instead," (Y/N) said which got a confused look from the two. "It's like saying "Bro," but cooler."

"Yeah! Now we're talkin'!" Bulat cheered from the nicknames. "Hey, check this out!"

Bulat spun himself around on the ground and took a deep breath.

"Incursio!" Bulat yelled into the air as his Imperial Arms, Incursio, began to take shape and cover his body until after a flash, Bulat was wearing the armor and cape with the spear. "YAH!"

"So cool!" Tatsumi complimented while awing the transformation.

"Tatsumi, this is the Imperial Arms, Incursio." (Y/N) introduced the Imperial Arms.

"I don't know what Imperial Arms are," Tatsumi said after. "But, man, was that awesome!"

"Ah, good," Bulat said while flexing the armor. "I see you recognize it's greatness!"

After the little showing off, the three look into the pathway and stayed silent. The only sound made, the wind blowing and rustling of leaves.

"It's them." Tatsumi spoke.

"Now's your chance to see what Imperial Arms are about." Bulat told the two, unaware (Y/N) had Grand Chariot already.

"All right," (Y/N) said while putting on his helmet and popping his neck. "This should be fun."

Near a river on the other side of the forest, Akame faces three of the tribal assassins.

"That's the girl from the wanted poster," One assassin said. "That means Night Raid must be around here somewhere."

"She's a pretty little thing, huh?" The more built assassin stated.

"Let's not bang her up too bad," The smaller assassin said. "I wanna have some fun with her first."

Not even a split second, Akame shot through the three assassins and slit their throats. The three assassins were confused what had happened until their throats started gushing blood.

"Be careful," Akame told the three. "You've entered enemy territory, y'know."

Two out of three fell, as the third tried to attack.

"You bitch! I'm going to make you pay for tha- AGH!" The third said but felt the curse coursing through his body. "What's going on? It's poison?!"

The third assassin finally fell as Akame stared at the bodies.

"It only takes one strike." Akame told the bodies.

In another part of the forest, a lone assassin runs through the forest thinking about Night Raid killing his fellow assassins.
