Currently, after talking with Augustav and the others in the garden, Tetsuya, Augustav, and the others now are walking toward the storage room in the palace where all of the Teigu weaponry resides. After some talk, Augustav decided to give another Teigu as a bonus reward for teaching Katherine magic to Tetsuya, which of course not including the daily payment that he will receive when training Katherine every month.

"Hey, Tetsuya... Can I meet her?"

"No..."

On the way walking towards the storage room, Katherine kept asking the same thing, which was if she could meet Mine and chat with her, to which Tetsuya denied.

"Why?!"

"Well... There's a certain reason for it, but I'll tell you... maybe later okay..."

Katherine, who heard this from Tetsuya then looked at his face which made her soon give up on questioning him. The reason she stopped questioning him was because Tetsuya right now is showing a wry smile on his face which Katherine figured out from seeing hi's expression that Tetsuya right now doesn't want to tell her due to it being something complicated. So Katherine didn't wanna force Tetsuya to tell her.

"Oh well, okay then." Said Katherine while nodding.

Tetsuya, who saw that Katherine backed down from questioning him further, only sighed in relief. The real reason that he didn't wanna let others know about Mine is because of her past. If Tetsuya were to reveal that Mine is from one of the countries that were attacked by Honest's schemes, Augustav and others would probably feel guilty and it would ruin the atmosphere as now.

Augustav and the others who heard both Tetsuya and Katherine's discussion were also curious, but they then thought that it was probably Katherine who got jealous of Tetsuya's family member since Katherine had been nagging Tetsuya all over the place, which they could only sigh. Though some of them are also curious about the girl that Tetsuya considers as family.

"We're here." Said Augustav as they arrived in front of a big door.

In front of them was a door that leads to the storage room of all weaponry. Before entering the storage room, Augustav got out a key, which he then used to open the storage room. The lock of the door then gets unlocked as Augustav pushed the door which then opened up the door. Augustav then entered the room as everyone followed him from behind.

When entering the storage room, Tetsuya saw many Teigus that were displayed inside of a big room. The Teigus that were all shown in the anime are all over the place as Tetsuya then looked all over the place. Other than Teigus there were also Shingus that were being displayed separately, though the quantity over Shingu weaponry is much less than Teigu weaponry. Of course, Tetsuya instantly traced every Teigu and Shingu in the room after entering it.

"These are all the Teigu that we have in store, now Tetsuya, you can choose 3 among all of the Teigus in here."

Augustav then showed all the Teigu in the room to Tetsuya, which Tetsuya then slowly moved towards one Teigu.

"Then the first one's this."

Tetsuya then pointed his index finger towards a Teigu that was excluded from all Teigus. The Teigu itself was sealed in a secluded place, unlike other Teigus that were displayed normally. But when Augustav and Budo saw what Teigu that Tetsuya pointed towards, they instantly recognized the Teigu as they could only give a shocked expression when they saw it. The reason why they're so shocked is that the Teigu that Tetsuya chose was the riskiest and also the most dangerous of all Teigu. And because of that, the Teigu itself was sealed away. The Teigu itself was called 'Demon God's Manifestation: Demon's Extract'.

'Well, I have copies of Demon's Extract so it's a good idea to take another one.' Thought Tetsuya with a smile on his face.

"Tetsuya, that isn't a normal Teigu, if you open and consume what is inside the urn, your psyche'll get destroyed and your mind will go insane!!!" Augustav shouted while looking toward Tetsuya with a worried expression.

Katherine and Anne who heard Augustav were surprised as they then look at Tetsuya worriedly.

"But if you consume and survive it, you will get a new power right?" Tetsuya only gives a confident smile toward Augustav which he then opens up the seal toward the Demon's Extract.

"Kiddo, even if you are strong that doesn't mean that all Teigu are going to be compatible with you." Budo only looked at Tetsuya while trying to warn him with a stern expression.

"Don't worry, I got the feeling that I might be able to pull this off, and also only by looking at that urn, my feeling is telling me that it's gonna be compatible." Said Tetsuya while looking at Budo with a smile. But Budo, who looked at Tetsuya's eyes, could only stay quiet. Right now the look on Tetsuya's eyes shows that he is quite confident about what he is going to do.

"Suit yourself kiddo, but just be careful." Said Budo with a quiet expression. Tetsuya, who heard Budo's words, only smiled while nodding at him.

"Are you really sure you really want that Teigu?" Asked Augustav with a serious expression while looking at Tetsuya.

"Yep."

"I see, if that's the Teigu that you want, then I cannot stop you."

Tetsuya then takes the urn while holding the urn with his right hand. Before he is about to drink the urn suddenly Katherine calls him.

"Tetsuya!"

Tetsuya, who heard Katherine's voice from behind, then looked at her with a confused expression on his face.

"Good luck..." Said Katherine with a sad smile on her face. She doesn't know what to do other than wishing him well, but when she remembers the words that her father just said, she then looks down toward the floor.

Tetsuya who right now is looking at Katherine only shows a smile on his face.

"Don't make that kind of face... I still have yet to tell you about the person you really want to meet, don't I?"

Katherine, who heard this is surprised by Tetsuya's reply and then slowly looks at Tetsuya with a smile.

"Then is that a promise?" Asked Katherine with a happy expression while looking at Tetsuya.

"...Maybe." Said Tetsuya with a teasing smile on his face.

Katherine who heard this then pouts as she then shouts with an annoyed expression.

"Tetsuya!!!"

Tetsuya with a happy expression then only laughs while teasing Katherine who was pouting. Augustav and the others who are around them could only smile at their reaction. Before Augustav and the others notice, Tetsuya then lifts the urn toward his mouth and then swallows the whole urn until it is empty.

"Woah, it's quite good actually." Said Tetsuya while nodding in amazement at the flavor of the liquid that he had just drank. Augustav and the others who noticed that Tetsuya had just finished drinking could only look at Tetsuya with surprise before their expression turned into a panicked one.

'Now lemme see, the power that can freeze half of this world's continent.' Thought Tetsuya while waiting for the effect of Teigu to start.

Suddenly the effect of the Teigu started to spread to Tetsuya's body, Tetsuya started to feel all the destructive urges flowing in his mind. But when he's facing all the urges inside him, he only smiles while slowly throwing the urn down.

"It seems I was worried for nothing... The urge is nothing compared to the demon energy training." Tetsuya smiled as he then absorbed all the energy that he just received from Demon's Extract. A burst of dark energy slowly bursted out of Tetsuya that he absorbed.

Augustav and the others looked at Tetsuya with confused expressions as they didn't know what's happening.

"T-Tetsuya?" Katherine could only look at Tetsuya with a worried expression when dark energy starts to burst from Tetsuya's body.

"Don't worry I'm fine everyone... But I need some time to fully absorb this."

Tetsuya then declares to everyone that the dark energy is starting to be fiercer than before. Slowly a tattoo was formed in Tetsuya's c.h.e.s.t which caused the dark energy to disperse. When Augustav and the others saw the dark energy disappear, they then look at Tetsuya's condition, who seems fine which makes them show a happy expression on their face.

'Now let's experiment it to another level.' Thought Tetsuya who is now is about to do something to obtain the Teigu completely.

Tetsuya then put a Mana barrier surrounding him, as he then let outburst of ice from his body. The ice was being suppressed by the Mana barrier which later the ice slowly formed a wall around the mana barrier due to being held by the Mana barrier.

Augustav and the others who saw this are of course surprised since they expect that Tetsuya already had obtained the Teigu's power, but what they didn't expect is that this was far from over.

'If the tattoo itself is like a seal that contains the power of the Danger beast, then I will break the seal itself. Just like what I did with Incursio, I will fuse myself with Demon Extract.' Thought Tetsuya with a serious expression.

Slowly Tetsuya's skin froze due to the temperature degree of Demon Extract power, but due to the times where Tetsuya traveled around everywhere in the world of Akame ga kill, Tetsuya obtained [Freeze Resistance] which allowed him to withstand cold areas.

-------------------------------

[Freeze Resistance has leveled up!]

[Freeze Resistance has leveled up!]

[Freeze Resistance has leveled up!]

Tetsuya didn't know how much his skill had leveled up, but right now the cold around him was about to reach Absolute Zero temperature, where his skin was covered up by ice. But because of his skill, his body almost doesn't feel any cold at all.

10 minutes flew by, Augustav and the others who right now are watching a radius wall of ice covering them, suddenly felt the temperature around them drop. Even though the Mana barrier already blocked the Demon Extract's power, somehow due to how cold it is, there was a bit of a drop of temperature around Tetsuya's surroundings.

"Tetsuya..." Katherine couldn't help but cry as she then hugged Anne. She couldn't help but worry due to the sudden ice burst from Tetsuya 10 minutes ago.

Augustav and the others don't know what to do as they can only watch the wall of ice. They can only hope that Tetsuya, who is inside the wall of ice, is safe.

"Budo what do you think about the current situation?" Asked Augustav with a serious expression.

"I don't know your highness, but it seems there's still a probability that the kiddo is still alive since the temperature around is slowly dropping, which I can conclude is the power of the Teigu."

"I see, Budo, if things are getting worse then I need you to break that ice for me with any means you got, We can't let Tetsuya die."

Budo, who heard Augustav's words, stayed quiet as he then replied to Augustav.

"Understood, your highness."

Suddenly the temperature stopped dropping as it slowly rose. Augustav and the others who felt the temperature was back to normal instantly looked at the wall of ice. Before Augustav was able to give the order to Budo to destroy the ice wall, crack suddenly started to show up in the wall of ice.

The Ice is slowly dispersed into energy that is gathered to a certain point. This causes Augustav and the others to a state of confusion. The ice slowly disperses into energy which makes the ice fall down into pieces. It is revealed that the ice is gathering toward Tetsuya himself as he is standing in the middle of the mana barrier.

But right now Tetsuya's appearance looks different. He right now has light blue colored hair and also a blue ice cross slit pupil. The energy that is gathered from the ice is now entering his body.

Augustav and the others who are watching this cannot believe what they just saw. It is like Tetsuya just fused together with the Teigu itself.

Slowly Tetsuya's hair and pupil slowly turn into their original color. The tattoo that Tetsuya has on his body also disappeared as it cannot be found on his body.

-------------------------------

[The [Demon Extract] sealed has been destroyed due to the host of the system fused with the Teigu [Demon Extract]]

[You have obtained a new title called [Become one with Ice]]

[You have obtained a new skill called [Cryokinesis of the Demon God Manifestation]]

-------------------------------

'It seems I was right.' thought Tetsuya with a happy smile on his face.

Suddenly someone is running toward Tetsuya as that person hugs him. That person who hugs him of course, Katherine.

Tetsuya who is getting a hug by Katherine somehow is getting a Deja Vu which he then remembers that something similar also happens in the past which he remembers in Chapter 22. Though when he getting a hug by Katherine, Tetsuya also notice that there is still a trace of Katherine crying

"It seems I have made you worried." Said Tetsuya as he then stroked Katherine's head.

"Jeez... Tetsuya you jerk... Don't make a woman cry, you know." Said Katherine while pouting with a blush on her expression.

"But you're still a child and not a woman." Said Tetsuya while teasing Katherine with a smile on his face.

"Tetsuya, that is a rude thing to say to a woman." Said Katherine who was still pouting with an angry expression on her face.

"Yes yes... I get it." Said Tetsuya with a wry smile.

Augustav, who is followed up by Anne and Budo, then walks toward Katherine and Tetsuya.

"Are you alright Tetsuya?" Asked Augustav with a worried expression.

"Don't worry your highness, as you can see I'm fine right now." Said Tetsuya with a smile while looking at Augustav.

"I see... that is good." Said Augustav while sighing in relief.

"So kid... you can use your Teigu now right?" Asked Budo with a curious expression.

"Yep (Even better since I have fused with the Teigu itself)." Said Tetsuya with a smile while looking at Budo. Tetsuya then opens his [STATUS] system, which to his expectation his status also increases.

All of Tetsuya's stats were increasing except for Luck.

"Anyway, It seems I made a bit of a mess here." Said Tetsuya while looking at his surroundings. Due to the use of Demon Extract, his surroundings right now are a bit messy, but since Tetsuya is using the Mana barrier, there aren't any Teigu and Shingu that are damaged.

"Don't worry about it, I will make sure guards clean up the mess that happens in here." Said Augustav with a smile.

"I see, then I thank your highness for your generosity." Said Tetsuya with a wry smile on his face.

"You don't need to thank me, I owe you my life so this much is nothing to me."

After the discussion between Tetsuya and Augustav, Tetsuya then continues to choose Teigu in the storage room with Augustav and the others around him. After some time, He has finally finished choosing his Teigu. The Teigu that he chooses is Roman Artillery: Pumpkin which he thinks about giving to Mine after some upgrades to the Teigu and Infinite Uses Cross Tail which he can use for many different occasions.

After Tetsuya finished picking up all the Teigus, he then spent some time with Augustav and the others before going back to his hideout.
