Chapter 47 - Chapter 47: Slash!

Instantly, all three of them felt their whole bodies turn cold.

No... there must be a mistake, I must have misheard! Akame muttered there. They had finally managed to feel the sensation of being cared for, but, but, how could this be!

Kaede's eyes also contracted violently at this moment.

Kurome also fell into a daze, her mouth opening slightly.

Me and... Kaede. Kurome's eyes instantly became terrified and helpless. What should she do?

Instructor! You! Instantly, Akame seemed to lose her reason and wanted to go straight to the instructor.

Kaede grabbed Akame from the side. Let Akame go to the instructor? That wasn't looking for the instructor; that was looking for death!

Hehe!

The instructor looked at them, the smile on his lips becoming increasingly strange. He was excited now; sisters killing each other, what a beautiful scene!

Even though they hadn't taken the stage yet and were still stalling, the instructor was in a very good mood, so he didn't say much. However, this good mood was built upon such a contest; it must be said, this instructor was an out-and-out pervert.

At this moment, the killing intent in Kaede's heart toward this instructor increased infinitely from zero in an instant.

However, unlike others, Kaede was a natural-born killer. Even if the killing intent took root and sprouted in her heart, she still would not show a trace of it in front of others.

Therefore, being targeted by Kaede was terrifying. Being targeted by the future Kaede, well, no spoilers...

At this moment, Kaede kept her head down, making it impossible for anyone to see what she was thinking.

Finally, Kaede moved. She walked onto the competition stage, gripped the Tachi that Akame had just used, and then looked at Kurome.

Get up here!

Kaede... Kurome's eyes welled up with tears.

Get up here! Kaede shouted again.

Kaede...

I said, hurry up and get up here! Kaede lifted her head and looked at Kurome with cold eyes.

Ugh...

Kurome was frightened by Kaede's gaze. As if in an instant, Kaede had changed and no longer seemed like the sister who cared for her. From Kaede's eyes, all she saw was coldness.

However, it wasn't actually that Kaede wanted to be like this, but who knew when that instructor might suddenly be in a bad mood, and if he saw that Kurome hadn't taken the stage yet, then it would be over, everything would be over.

However, after Kaede saw that Kurome looked like she was about to be scared to tears, she felt a bit guilty. Should she have used a more gentle approach?

Finally, Kaede looked at Akame, and her lips moved.

Akame was stunned for a moment, then miraculously understood what Kaede wanted to express. She looked at Kurome, then looked at the instructor with a gaze full of killing intent, and then whispered in Kurome's ear: Go up, Kurome, everything will be solved.

But... Kurome still wanted to say something.

Go up, it'll be fine! Akame ruffled Kurome's hair. Neither I nor Kaede will let anything happen to you!

Although she didn't know what method Kaede had, Akame chose to believe, believing that Kaede had her own way, and also believing that Kaede would not hurt Kurome.

With Akame's encouragement, Kurome finally walked onto the competition stage before the instructor could get impatient. She also chose a Tachi and stood opposite Kaede.

Kaede... Kurome's hand holding the Tachi was trembling. She did not want to fight her sister.

Moreover, Kurome also knew that in terms of strength, she would definitely not be a match for Kaede. During the weeding-out process a month ago, Kurome had already seen Kaede's strength.

Even at that time, Kaede was not someone she could oppose, let alone the Kaede who had undergone a month of training.

However, whether she could win or not was one thing; whether she wanted to fight was another. If given a choice, Kurome would rather choose to fight the strongest person than choose to fight Kaede.

It wasn't because the person standing opposite her was her sister! The sister she loved!

However, the facts were laid out here; it was not something she could change just because she wanted to.

I don't want to die... Kaede suddenly said. A smile appeared on her face, making one think it was the smile of a deranged person; after all, how could one still smile at a time like this?

Kaede... Kurome opened her mouth, then closed it again. What was there to say at a time like this?

At this moment, Kaede moved, step by step, slowly approaching Kurome, her grip on the Tachi tightening.

Although Akame believed in Kaede, at this moment, she still couldn't help but focus all her energy on Kaede, who had started to move.

To put it bluntly, if there had to be a choice, if she could die in place of one of them, she would choose to die in their place. But if she couldn't, Akame would choose Kurome.

However, this did not mean Akame wanted Kaede to die. She was hoping, hoping that Kaede really had a way to escape this situation.

Kurome watched Kaede walk toward her step by step, but she still didn't make a move.

It seemed Kurome had given up. She knew that even if she survived, she might still die later, but her sister was different. As for Kaede, with her strength, the chance of surviving was still quite high.

Hehe, hehehe, hahahahaha! The instructor was also watching intently, watching Kaede walk step by step. Although the scene in the arena was developing very slowly, but, but, this feeling, this feeling of excitement and joy in his heart was simply, wonderful!

Sure enough, things like this are truly wonderful!

Kaede's palms were full of sweat at this moment. She kept her head down, observing everything around her with the corner of her eye. Everything appeared in Kaede's mind.

In the eyes of others, Kaede kept her head down, with a deranged smile on her lips, closing in on Kurome.

However, they absolutely could not have imagined that the pressure on Kaede at this moment was even greater than they imagined, to an incredible degree.

Position, method, space, layout—everything was being calculated and perfected with every step Kaede took. If Kaede's observational ability was at a perverted level, then at this moment, she was using more energy than ever before to calculate.

Because, this time, she could not fail; she absolutely had to succeed.

Finally, she arrived at the position she had calculated countless times in her mind.

At this moment, Kaede's figure was like a cheetah that had found an opportunity. Her movement changed directly from walking to running, and there was no acceleration process; she reached her fastest speed instantly.

The blade was already fully gripped in her hand. At this moment, it seemed that everything was ignored in Kaede's eyes; only the target in front of her remained, the target that had to be pierced.

With undivided focus, the perfect coordination of body and mind, speed breaking limits, plus constant calculation and layout, made this strike unavoidable, absolutely perfect!

Blood sprayed!

The result that fell was a crowd of wide-eyed people, and the instructor's frozen smile.

Lying on the ground was the Soldier who had been judging the outcome nearby. At this moment, there was disbelief and confusion on the Soldier's face. Why? Even now, he hadn't reacted!

What exactly happened?

After completing this series of events, Kaede felt as if she had collapsed; the strength in her body seemed to have been completely drained in an instant.

However, Kaede still held on, looked at the instructor, and said: You said that someone must lie down in the arena to count as a victory. Now, someone is already lying down.

The instructor's broken smile was still continuing—no, it should be said that it was frozen on his face.

After a long while, the smile returned to the instructor's face.

Good! Good! You win! The instructor laughed loudly, looking at Kaede, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

It must be said that Kaede's move even shocked him. If he were to give Kaede's strike a score, it would be full marks. It was simply a perfect assassination, utilizing that Soldier's lack of attention to stage a perfect assassination.

Even the instructor felt a chill in his heart at this moment. Perhaps a true monster had emerged in this assassination squad.

Hearing the Instructor's words, Kaede smiled. She looked at Kurome, who was still standing there with her mouth agape in disbelief, and ruffled Kurome's hair.

"Silly girl, you are my little sister. I don't want to die, but more than that, I don't want you to die!" Kaede's eyes were exceptionally soft at this moment.

That was correct. If the assassination hadn't succeeded, not to mention the Soldier's strength, the Instructor would likely have stepped in directly. Fortunately, it had succeeded.

As for guilt? It didn't exist. Although the Soldier seemed to have died in vain in this matter, every single person here could be said to deserve death!

"Kaede!" Kurome could no longer hold back. She lunged at Kaede, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be contained. Ah, this was her sister, the sister she loved the most!

"Bang!"

You have to understand that Kaede was in a state of exhaustion, so Kurome's tackle... tsk tsk.

"Pfft!" Akame looked at Kaede lying on the ground, and Kurome, who was lying on top of Kaede with an innocent expression, and couldn't help but laugh.

Ah! Having this sister is truly great!
