Adopted Soldier

Chapter 45

Niel who lost the support of Alex sniping, was now having difficulty finding an opening to attack . Lyner who was simply evading all of the attack was simply waiting to see what else Niel had to offer . Niel who was always trying to be perfect, instead of feeling irritated that his attacks weren’t working felt ecstatic . He changed his stance from a boxer’s stance to a karate stance . This was a decision he made when he noticed how much faster Lyner was than him . Niel was now focused on countering, an attack from Lyner . He simply stood there with an open stance waiting for Lyner to attack .

Lyner knows he doesn’t need to do anything if the opponent doesn’t attack, since he wins if they don’t touch him, but he wanted to see what other moves the kid in front of him has . Lyner charged forward suppressing his speed to what Niel could react to . Lyner punched out, in which Niel evaded and was about to deliver a spear hand strike . When he successfully evaded, Niel was about ready to strike, but the moment he was going to counter, Lyner was nowhere to be seen .

"Your timing, insight, battle instincts, technique, are all top notch . . . Yet I know you haven’t trained at all based on your build . " Niel heard Lyner’s voice from behind . Niel backed away expecting Lyner to attack his blind spot, but Lyner didn’t do anything .

"Thank you for the praise Sir . Lyner . You really are a good teacher . I truly hope you become our club adviser . " Niel’s vicious smile was now gone, and was once again replaced by his charming winning smile .

"You really are a good actor . I can’t really tell which personality of yours is the true one . "

"Both of them are real . . . But enough about that, Sir . Lyner I hope you can teach me more . " Once he was done responding to Lyner, Niel changed his stance again . This time Niel was in a Taekwondo stance .

’So this time he’s going to focus on kicks . Let’s see how good you are . ’ The fight between Niel and Lyner restarted . Yet not much has changed, no matter what technique or martial art Niel used he couldn’t touch Lyner .

After awhile Niel’s vigor was slowly weakening . He was breathing heavily same as Saya, but unlike her, he lasted longer since Lyner was interested to see all of his tricks . When Lyner determined he has seen enough, he looked at Niel and sighed .

"You have such God given talents but in your hands its all wasted . I hope after this you’ll do things a bit more seriously . " After saying what he wanted, Lyner silently got in front of Niel and struck his solar plexus .

Niel before losing his consciousness smiled . "Thank you for your guidance teacher . "

. . .

Alex who was heading towards the rooftop saw Niel unconscious on the way . Alex carried him and placed him in one of the classrooms, afterwards he headed towards the rooftop .

When Alex opened the door to the rooftop he was greeted by a gunshot . Alex wasn’t hit as he looked at the person who shot him . There stood Lyner holding a Colt 1911 on both hands, Alex was a bit surprised since Lyner actually used live ammunition .

"Where you trying to kill a student, Sir . Lyner?" Alex asked with his stoic face and indifferent tone of voice, as he stood in front of Lyner . Hearing Alex’s question Lyner started laughing heartily .

"HAHAHA, if you were hit by that then it would be truly funny . I wasn’t even aiming at you . . . You of all people should know that, Alex Samarita ’the silent flash . ’ What a extravagant nickname you got there . " Lyner said all this mockingly .

"You also live up to your reputation Sir . Lyner SS rank merc . "

"Okay now that we’re done with the greetings . Allow me your senior in the battlefield as well as your senior in life, see what you are truly made of . " Lyner shot at Alex as he moved forward .

. . .

Oliver was searching the whole school but was still unable to find a trace of Lyner . ’This feels more like a game of hide and seek, than a game of tag . ’ Oliver complained in his mind .

When Oliver was searching the school, he accidentally saw Alex’s sniper rifle that he left hidden in the rooftop of the new school building .

. . .

The battle between the living legend of mercenaries, against the rising legend has begun . The two were fighting at a super close range using their handguns . Alex would deflect using his guns and then shoot, Lyner did the same with his two handguns . Deflect, aim then shoot, the two of them looked like they were dancing amidst the torrent of bullets .

That was not all they were doing, When their shots miss the target, the bullet would hit something else and the bullet would ricochet back, to try and hit the opponent, who would then evade perfectly . Both of them were using similar gun moves and their close combat skills felt the same .

Lyner was truly enjoying this, it was a feeling he had long lost . Ever since he became a SS rank merc, he wasn’t able to fight anyone worthy . The people at his level, which were the other SS rank merc’s never wish to fight, since they represented their countries, so accidentally dying was not allowed .

At some point he had given up on finding anyone worthy to fight . He decide to spend his days lazing around in a remote region . He randomly picked a place, and the government made a fake identity for him as a teacher . His former self that was like the God of War, had turned into a lazy bum who only knows how to sleep .

Who knew that in this place where he was slowly dying from boredom, someone who was worth fighting will come .

Lyner was happily laughing at the exhilarating feeling of death trying to tightly hug him . He had forgotten this feeling, the feeling of the possibility that he could die at anytime .

Alex on the other hand was still showing his poker face, as he analyzed Lyner’s way of fighting . As expected of a legendary mercenary, who was at the highest rank, there was virtually no openings to exploit . Alex who was getting dull by living his normal carefree life, was once again being sharpened by Lyner .
