Adopted Soldier-Chapter 41

Chapter 41

After school Alex's group headed to the faculty's office . When they got their they asked for Mr . Lyner the teachers who were there said he didn't bother showing up saying he was going to take a nap after class .

"On a day like this when it's not so hot he should be sleeping on the roof . " One of the teacher's advised .

The group then headed for the rooftop . When they got there they saw a man wearing a normal white shirt and pants sleeping . At first glance no one would have guessed that this man was a teacher . The man was snoring as he lay comfortably on the floor . Alex who looked at Lyner's body properly noticed that he may look thin on the outside by in reality his muscles where made for battle same as him .

He was not massive like Oliver but the quality of his muscles was similar . Oliver slowly approached Lyner .

"Sir . Lyner please wake up we have something to ask . " Oliver's voice couldn't reach the sleeping teacher .

Alex tried directing Killing intent at Lyner, if he really is one from the battlefield this amount of killing intent should be able to jolt him, but contrary to Alex's belief nothing happened . Alex was now confused, was his analysis wrong? Was this bum of a teacher just someone who likes working out? Still the words bum and working out doesn't sound like they should go together, but bum and merc still somehow doesn't feel like they fit together .

Rachel was the next to try, she approached Lyner and tried to shake his shoulders . Yet before Rachel could touch Lyner, Alex quickly moved and tightly held Rachel holding her back .

Suddenly being hugged by Alex made Rachel's head look like a tomato . "What the hell are you doing Alex?!" Rachel screamed in embarrassment .

"Heh, so you don't want your woman touching any other man is that it?" Saya snickered at the whole situation, even though she too noticed the weird movement from Lyner, when Rachel was about to touch him .

Niel was looking at his juniors that were hugging and shrugged . 'Even though they are in front of a perfect being such as me, they have the audacity to flirt around . They must really like each other . '

Oliver simply nodded at the actions of his comrades . 'Now this is youth… Now if only the witch was as reserved as Rachel . ' The witch he was talking about was of course the irritating Saya .

Alex on the other hand didn't care about what the others were saying all of his focus was on the sleeping Lyner .

'What was that? My whole body was screaming there was danger! Before Rachel was able to touch him, Lyner was actually trying to reach for the hand that was about to touch him . If Rachel's hand was able to get a bit closer, I'm sure she would've been grievously injured or worse killed . Why? When I sent killing intent his way he didn't move or was it that he deemed it was not necessary to move? Did his body react to the movement Rachel was making coupled with the killing intent I directed? Did he by instinct was about to neutralize the threat?… I don't know?! What is this? Who is this guy? The last time I felt this much danger was when I was starting out as a Rank C merc facing a Rank A merc… NO this feels even more dangerous than that . '

While Alex was contemplating, he was still hugging Rachel, who was now somehow enjoying Alex's warm embrace .

"You really are enjoying it aren't you Rachel?" Saya was smiling mischievously at Rachel, who upon hearing Saya's voice snapped out of her trance like state .

"Hey Alex how long are you going to continue this? . . . LET GO!" Rachel was about to attack Alex with her elbow but before it could hit Alex instinctively let go of her .

"So Alex why did you do that?" Rachel angrily stared at Alex .

'Shit If I don't answer right I will violate number two and three of the mission's revision . ' Alex started to think of what to say so that he wouldn't make Rachel uncomfortable and hate him .

"It's nothing really I just didn't want you to touch that guy . " 'Okay I hope this works, telling her honestly is the only way to go . '

Hearing his response Saya started laughing, while Rachel's head look like it was overheating .

"So he really did want you to not touch any other man . Hahaha Alex even with that stoic face of yours, you can be cute… Well still not as cute as my Oliver . " After saying that Saya rode on Oliver's back hugging him .

"No matter what, hugging me like that without any warning is not good okay . " Rachel said a bit sternly, but her mouth was slightly curved upwards .

"Sorry I wont do it again . " Alex responded with his usual indifference .

"So Rachel you would allow hugging, if he warned you? Is that it?" Saya teased, when Rachel heard this she was about to respond out of embarrassment, but then Lyner suddenly shouted .

"What the hell! How about taking your romcom bullcrap elsewhere! Someone's trying to sleep here!" Lyner was now awake and shouting at them . He then started to scan the area looking at each of them present in the rooftop . When finally his gaze landed on Alex .

"You, that amount of killing intent can't even faze a tiger cub, much less a lion . " The others couldn't understand Lyner's incoherent words but Alex did .

So this guy was the real deal . That amount of killing intent would make even the most veteran of Rank A mercs' sweat profusely, yet this guy didn't even take it as a wake up call .

Lyner then started to stretch his body and with a yawn looked at the kids gathered on the rooftop .

"So what the hell do you want? Even disturbing me during my naptime, if this was in the past your heads would already be flying . " Lyner yawned and scratched his eyes as he said this .

Everyone aside from Alex took this as a crude joke .
