As long as he has remembered he has worked for the capital ever since he was five years old, possessing teigus as his weapon. He is the first person in the world to possess more than one teigu and has gain the tittle as a general in a young age. Brushing his lock of hair to the back Tatsumi sighs loudly as he sit on the mountain of corpse he has kill. The cheers of his army can be heard from miles away which he ignore since now all he wants to do is too close his eyes and sleep.

He has killed so many until he has lost count since dawn, these revolutionary group are nothing more than insect to him but due to their large number he has to take his time killing all of them. Despite their huge number he never got wounded except for his army that doesn't possess any teigu. It's quite disappointing that he do most of the work but at least his army lessen his burden a bit. 'A BIT'.

He is one of the strongest general exist curently living in the capital and has gain the title 'Red Flash'. It mostly because of his fast movement to kill his enemy and due to his clothes that always red in colour.

"General Tatsumi." One of his army salute. "We are ready to head back to the capital."

Among all of them Tatsumi only find of them that seems useful to him which is Liver, he used to be part of Esdeath group but she lend him until he can find his own secretary to take care of him. Tatsumi yawn loudly as he nod his head, taking this as an order Liver climb up the mountain of corpse to carry his general before climbing back down with Tatsumi in his hand.

Knowing well this man can be trusted for his loyalty Tatsumi let himself falling asleep in the man arms, Liver nod slowly as he start to walk toward one of the best horse, Philips. Tatsumi only prefer to ride on Philips since he is the fastest horse the capital can find for him so he doesn't have to wait for days to reach to his destination.

After Liver get on the horse, he carefully make sure to hold his general carefully with his left hand while his other hand to pull the rope. After he orders the others to follow him back to the capital he pull the rope forcefully and the horse start to gallop as fast as it can. Tatsumi still asleep in the man arms peacefully since he is use to sleep in any condition.

It didn't take long for them to arrive in the capital before sundown which involve leaving behind an entire army, at that time Tatsumi has finally woken up and hop down from his horse and start to stretch his hand up high.

"Welcome back Tatsumi!" Esdeath greet him happily as she embraces him.

Tatsumi simply push her away as he rub his sleepy eyes while Liver kneel in meeting another high rank general before him.

"Thanks for lending me Liver this time." Tatsumi thanks her as he try his best to suppress his yawn. "He is quite helpful."

"Indeed he is." Esdeath chuckles.

"You can go back to Miss Esdeath now Liver." Tatsumi tells him.

"Is it alright?" The man look slightly worried. "What if you fall asleep in the hallway again? Or you collapse in someone room again?"

"I will make it." Tatsumi finally yawn once more. "I guess I should meet the king and the prime minister now."

"After you done you can sleep in my room if you want." Esdeath whispers seductively as she trail her finger on Tatsumi chest.

"No thanks, since the last time I sleep on the bed with you I can't fall asleep since you keep embracing me in your sleep. One day I might die because of your . . . things press on my face and die of suffocation."

Esdeath chuckles once more as Tatsumi take his leave, Liver follow him from behind knowing that Tatsumi might end up falling alseep again. Tatsumi has lack of sleep ever since he is order to destroy a few village in a week but now he has done his mission all he need to do now is give his report and go back to sleep.

Tatsumi can feel the other two strong general in the castle since their killing intent is too strong. When he feel how near the deathly aura is, it quickly awaken him. When Liver sees Tatsumi suddenly recharge he quickly take this as a sign to leave when Tatsumi is now standing in front of the huge door.

The guards bow to him as they open the door at the same time to let him in, Tatsumi walk in steady pace toward where the king and prime minister is. The king is still a boy and too young to be a king while the prime minister is a fat old man who keeps eating in everywhere he goes. In this moment as well the old man continue to eat as he stand beside the king.

"Welcome back General Tatsumi." The boy greet him happily.

Tatsumi can understand why the boy seems over excited seeing him, in this castle he is the closest age to the king while everyone is an adult. Quickly he kneels and lower his head low.

"I'm back your highness." He speaks. "I have successfully accomplish my mission and kill every of those rebel and none of them survive."

"Good." The prime minister compliment him with a cheeky smile.

"As a reward you will receive 50 000 gold." The kings announce happily as he clap his hand.

It was then Tatsumi smile as he look up at the king as he thanks for the reward. "My army will be very happy to receive such a wonderful award from your highness."

Just like Esdeath he is not interest in rewards so he simply give it all to his army that needs medicine for their injuries or for them to enjoy themselves until the next war.

"You are so kind just like General Esdeath." The king compliments. "Isn't there anything else you want? Something else than money?" The king asks curiously.

"I never thought of that." Tatsumi says truthfully.

"Then tell me if you need anything else, you have done so much for the capital and it will be a great hapiness for me if you wish for something."

"Yes your highness." Tatsumi bows before he take his leave. Before that he notice the prime minister is giving him the look, knowing well what it meant Tatsumi continue to walk away. He feel a bit annoy that his awaiting sleep will have to wait.

"You done a good job Tatsumi." The prime minister compliments as he continue to eat the juicy meat.

"Thank you I guess." He yawns once more.

"Sleepy again?"

"Yeah, I use too much energy again."

"Why don't I introduce you to other Teigu users? Then you can have your own group just like Esdeath and my son." He asks.

"I'm too tired to even handle a group, I'm not good being a leader or whatsoever. The reason why I am a general is because I'm stronger like the other, am I right?"

"Indeed." The prime minister start to smile widely. "Because of you we able to kill lots of those rebellious people but it seems those people have upgrade and kill most of our useful pawns."

"Who?"

"Night Raid." He says before taking a huge gulp of wine.

"Let me guess, they're teigu users as well."

"Indeed and as far as we all already know only teigu users can fight teigu users."

"Don't you have Esdeath group to handle this?"

"That's correct but I have a feeling we need more help to kill all of them."

Slowly Tatsumi closes his eyes and smile.

"I can kill them however I want, right?"

"Yes." The evil smile form on the old man face.

"Very well then, I accept."

Tatsumi take a sip of the wine hoping it will help to get rid of his sleepiness, looks like he won't have to go out from the capital for a while.

On the next day, he wakes up to see Liver beside him. He can smell the delicious food on the table and quickly get up and start to eat like hungry wolf.

"Good morning Tatsumi." Liver greets him.

"Hello." Tatsumi start to swallow the huge loaf of bread fill with chocolate cream in the inside. "I thought you have gone back to Esdeath group."

"Of course, but I got worry knowing well how . . . your condition can be when you're sleeping so I decide to check on you and find you're sleeping while leaning against the door of your room so I bring you in and change your clothes."

Tatsumi look down to see himself wearing his nightgown and blushes.

"Using too many teigu at once take too much of my energy." Tatsumi explains. "Is there anything else Liver?"

"Yes, I will be going on mission with the other two to kill few leaders from the revolutionary group, they will be having a party to gain more allies so we decide to take the chance to kill them."

"When will you be back?"

"At the end of the week."

Then he nods his head in understanding before he wipes the mess he made around his mouth and get up. Liver help him to put on his clothes, he wear his white t-shirt and tie a red ribbon around the colour before putting on his red hoodie which is twice his size loosely. Then he put on his dark red pants with huge dark brown belts around his waist before placing his swords.

Lastly Liver help him to put on his knee-high boots, Tatsumi press the back of his neck before stretching to wake himself completely.

"Good luck on your mission Liver."

"Thank you Tatsumi." He chuckles before walking outside from the room with Tatsumi.

"I heard from Esdeath that you will have new teammates." Tatsumi says. "Isn't it already enough since she already have the three of you?"

"Our enemy this time isn't some normal humans so maybe she just want to take some precautions." The man explains.

"Ah . . . I hope the new teammates can do some work since you're the only one that I found very helpful." Tatsumi pouts.

"I guess you're right, not everyone can take care of you when you're sleepy."

"Except for Miss Esdeath and you, I guess."

After they have separate, Tatsumi decide to take a walk around the palace. He doesn't have any destination in mind but all he wants to do now is have some fresh air and go back to sleep when the night-time has come. Today should just be another ordinary, right?

As he continue to walk he suddenly spot some of the capital guards wearing their white armor chasing a boy.

"Come back here!" They shout.

Tatsumi walk toward them and easily pull the boy toward him, griping his wrist tightly.

"Ge-general!" One of the guard says in shock when they make eye contact.

"What happen?" He asks.

"This boy won't show us what his hiding and suddenly run."

Tatsumi snatch the bag away from the boy and look inside to see it contain ginger, potato, bread and small piece of cheese.

"Please, my mother is sick and she needs this food." The boy begs.

"Ah . . ." Tatsumi close the bag feeling bored for not finding anything interesting in the inside. "You must have use all of your money to buy this don't you?" Tatsumi look at him up and down noticing how old and torn his clothes is. He looks poor and weak.

"Y-yes."

"Take it." He pushes the bag into the boy hand.

"Thank you!" A smile appear on the boy face.

"Go. Your mother must be waiting for you."

"Right!"

When the boy start running the guard doesn't look please with Tatsumi decision.

"Is this alright?" He asks softly not wanting to offense the general before him.

"Of course." Tatsumi smiles as he watch the boy from the back. "He must be very happy thinking he can give it to his sick mother at home."

It was then he pull his sword out and point it at the boy, in a fast motion he speed up and swing his whole body in full circle and look back at the guard. A sweet and innocent smile form on Tatsumi face while the guard gasp in shock for the scene before boy body was cut in half and those things he bought scatter nearby.

"Killing a boy and letting his mother waiting for her son in happiness is the most beautiful death isn't it? Now they won't have to live in hunger anymore." Tatsumi lick the blood that stick on his face.

His speed.

No hesitation to kill.

A general in the age of 10.

This is the reason he was call as 'Red Flash'.
