Kaede watched the situation in the arena. Her eyes were darting around, and compared to a normal person, there was something extra in her vision.
She understood that even though she couldn't see attributes right now, the Weakness Analysis skill was definitely still working.
Actually, this skill wasn't very useful when dealing with people, especially when they had weapons, because people all have a few common fatal points. As long as you stab a weapon there, regardless of whether your damage is high enough, you can kill with one blow.
However, right now, they didn't have weapons, so the effect of this skill could be fully displayed.
But Kaede didn't take the initiative to attack. She wasn't some king; she couldn't take on a thousand enemies alone.
However, not taking the initiative to attack didn't mean those guys who had killed until their eyes turned red wouldn't come looking for trouble with them.
However, although Kaede didn't have a Tachi at this moment, her combat experience was incomparable to these little guys, and coupled with Weakness Analysis, it could be said that if one came, one would die; if two came, a pair would die.
"Sister Kaede, so amazing," Kurome murmured from the side.
Swallowing, Akame had originally intended to go over and help, but seeing such a scene, she stopped her moving legs. Hearing Kurome's words, Akame nodded.
"Yeah, so amazing..."
The place where they were located was a corner. If someone surrounded them, it would definitely be hard to escape, but looking at the chaotic appearance of those guys, it was impossible for them to unite.
Therefore, Kaede also felt relieved; she could definitely handle it alone.
Moreover, what reassured Kaede the most was that looking at the situation, perhaps half wouldn't die in an hour. After all, children didn't have much strength, but those who could stand up wouldn't reach half.
Why? Because some were already lying on the ground, their bodies twitching. Although they weren't dead, they couldn't stand up anymore.
There were also some who had hugged their heads and crouched on the ground from the beginning, calling for their parents. These were also quickly submerged by the crowd, becoming one of the corpses lying on the ground.
"This is enough." Kaede narrowed her eyes, and the force in her hand slammed mercilessly onto the chest of another person who rushed over.
Reasonably speaking, with the strength of a child like Kaede, and the fact that she was a girl, the person being hit shouldn't feel much pain.
But in fact, almost everyone hit by Kaede couldn't stand up, and what awaited them was Kaede's ruthless, lethal kick. This was the effect of Weakness Analysis.
"Yang... no, Sister Kaede, are you okay?" Akame asked cautiously after hesitating for a moment.
"I'm fine." Kaede was also panting slightly at this moment. Although she had tried her best to save her strength, those guys had fallen into madness. That desperate, chaotic flailing, while unable to hurt Kaede, still caused her to expend a little more energy.
Moreover, Kaede hadn't even rested; she couldn't, and she didn't dare.
However, Kaede heard how Akame addressed her and looked at her with some surprise. Eventually, seeing the admiration on Akame's face, she didn't say much and accepted Akame's form of address.
Indeed, no matter how much she seemed like a child beside Asuna, she was indeed no longer a child. Naturally, being Akame's sister was absolutely no problem. What was there to agonize over?
Time passed minute by minute.
Perhaps the people still fighting in the arena hadn't noticed that the number of people in the arena had dropped to less than half, but who would care about such things?
They were already insane, they had killed until their eyes turned red. Even though they were just children, at this very moment, they were all executioners.
Some were lying on the ground crying and shouting, some were still swinging their fists with twisted smiles on their faces, and some were also swinging their fists with tears streaming down their faces.
Enough, it was enough.
They had had enough.
As for Kaede's side, Akame eventually joined in. It must be said that Akame's agility was quite good; at least she could easily dodge the enemy's attacks—she must have been used to hiding here and there—and then Kaede would finish them off with one blow.
And now, they were resting. The reason was that the people lying on the ground here had piled up, already higher than their seated figures.
One can imagine just how many people had perished here.
If they were still in the world of SAO, such a scene would probably be shocking even to a mature adult, who wouldn't be able to bear it. But in this world, Akame and Kurome only expressed that they were a little uncomfortable; it seemed they were already used to it. According to them, every few days they would discover a new corpse beside them, and someone they were traveling with would be gone.
"Alright, it's over!" The instructor finally stood up, standing there laughing, watching this scene of hell on earth, laughing there.
Some stopped, but some couldn't stop.
The instructor laughed, then without hesitation, whipped him, directly sending the person who was still pounding away flying.
"Heh... hehe." After being whipped away and slamming hard onto the ground, he didn't cry or make a scene after receiving such a lash. One could only see his eyes go blank, a broken smile appearing on his face, laughing, laughing, and then closing his eyes as his body temperature steadily dropped.
"Assemble!"
This time, no one hesitated, and everyone began to assemble at the fastest speed.
Naturally, this included the three of them, including Kaede.
The instructor's broken smile finally disappeared at this moment, replaced by a serious expression.
They didn't look at the consequences for those who couldn't stand up behind them; they only heard the sound of footsteps behind them, and the sound of things dragging on the ground.
Needless to say, those people couldn't stand up, so the sound of movement definitely wasn't from them. Then it could only be those Soldiers. And being dragged away by those Soldiers, even those who weren't dead yet couldn't survive. It could even be said that if they were dead, they would suffer much less.
At this moment, the instructor also barely managed to show an appearance that an instructor should have: serious, rigid.
"We called you here for the Empire, to cultivate a group of assassins for the Empire, to form an Imperial Assassination Unit. And I am your instructor. As for what my name is, you don't need to know. You only need to know that for the next month, you will receive my basic training. After one month, there will be a trial, a trial that will stake your lives." As the instructor spoke, he couldn't help but reveal that broken smile on his face again, as if he was looking forward to it, looking forward to the arrival of that moment.
"One month later, the trial." Kaede clenched her fists.
Beside her, Akame and Kurome also clenched their own fists; everyone wanted to survive, no one wanted to die.
"However, don't think too much about things after one month." The instructor licked his lips. "Whether you can survive until one month later, hehe, is also a question!"
Immediately, the people around felt chilled. Yes, the person in front of them had let thousands of people become less than five hundred without even blinking an eye.
For him to restrain himself from finishing someone off during basic training, that's impossible, right?
However, at this moment, what they didn't expect was that the reality was far more cruel than they imagined!
