Adopted Soldier

Chapter 198

Niel who had his arm injured was looking at a group message he received . It said that most members of the Mercenary Club needed to do something, so there was no need to go to practice . Niel didn’t know why they all decided to do something at the same time .

He was sure that Oliver and Sayaka wanted to do something as a newly formed couple . Alex was going to do the same thing as usual accompanying Rachel . Emily would most probably try thinking of fun little ploys to have even more fun . Of course Kei who seem to be weirdly attached to Emily will follow her .

’Hmm, I guess I do know what everyone will be doing . ’ Niel smiled as he walked out of his classroom . Niel as usual was surrounded by girls from all year levels . He being the most popular boy in school, as well as being single, made him the target of many girls fantasies .

Niel didn’t mind the attention and as usual he was courteous to all the girls . Sometimes their were girls that come to him a bit strongly, but showing them his winning smile always makes them stop . Usually every boy in school would hate him for monopolizing all the girls, and being too good looking or other nonsensical reason like that . But not to Niel he was too far above the average and was kind to both boys and girls, that no one not even the boys can hate him .

Niel’s charisma was unrivaled, but seeing his fellow clubmates hook up left and right made Niel start thinking , what about me?

. . .

After talking to the girls for awhile Niel headed towards the clubroom . He wanted to talk to Lyner and ask if he could do some training even if his arm was wounded . Of course Niel was expecting Lyner to happily reply to him .

"A wounded arm? You call that a wound? Even if you have two broken arms, and legs, you could still train . As long as your mind is still functioning and your able to move some part of your body, you can still train, no problem . "

Niel could already imagine Lyner telling him something similar to that . When Niel entered the clubroom, he saw that Lyner wasn’t there, but then he noticed that there was something glittering above Lyner’s bed .

There was a secret code written on the ceiling above Lyner’s bed . This secret code was the special code created by Lyner to be used between him and Niel . When Niel saw this he immediately tried to decipher it, since this might be another test by Lyner .

It took Niel two minutes to decipher the message, it was fast but not as fast as he would hope . Still the message Lyner left was weird .

"My cute weak little apprentice, read the letter I left you under the bed . Be careful I set up a bunch of traps there . Still I already taught you how to bypass all the traps, but if you aren’t able to then you’ll die . We’ll if you aren’t able to bypass the security of such traps, then you weren’t worthy to be my apprentice, I would be ashamed so you dying in that situation would be something like an atonement, anyway good luck . "

Reading this message from Lyner made Niel sigh . He was fully aware what kind of person his teacher was .

So without hesitation, Niel got the tools Lyner hides underneath the closet near his bed . Niel who double checked the tools he would be using started working to get the letter hidden under Lyner’s bed .

. . .

It took Niel about half an hour to get through all the traps Lyner placed, and he finally found an envelop . Inside the envelop was a key card and a letter .

"To my cute semi-weak little apprentice, first off congratulations you have done an adequate job of getting through all the traps . Now onto the real topic, if you are reading this letter it means I have already left the city . I’ll be gone for awhile and I’m heading to the Southern Union . I decided to steal something important from them, just for sh*ts and giggles . Don’t you worry about Berdonia’s relationship with the Southern Union, I’ll deal with that . " Niel sighed as he read this part, he was pretty scared to hear his teacher telling him he would steal from the Southern Union .

His teacher being the SS rank merc of Berdonia stealing from the Southern Union would have serious implications, but he did say not to worry . In Niel’s mind there was nothing Lyner couldn’t do . After he was done clearing his mind Niel continued to read the letter .

"So while I’m away you need to continue your training . Also if you come across something life threatening, you can use my secret safe room hidden underneath the stage of the auditorium . The key card I left there is what you need to get into the safe room . The safe room has food rations for five people that could last for a week . Well that’s all I wanted to say, see you about three days from now . "

. . .

Once Niel was done reading the letter he placed the key card in his wallet . It would most probably be a good idea to stay there, if someone else attacks his house . Still he would need to tell his family about him being trained by the strongest of Berdonia . . . Niel decided that he will think about it when the time comes, for now he decided to check on Evangeline .

Niel was a bit interested in Evangeline seeing as his sister likes her . Also Niel himself found Evangeline quite interesting, with her never give up attitude towards Alex .

Even though she was clearly on the losing side, as Alex had only eyes for Rachel, Evangeline still remains ever hopeful . Niel was also confused by this obsession of Evangeline has with Alex . With her status, beauty, and talent she could get any guy she wants, but she picks someone that she couldn’t have . . . Maybe that’s why she likes him because he’s an unattainable thing for her .

When Niel got this far with his thoughts he decided not to think deeper into it . There was too many missing information to draw a conclusion . Well he could always ask Evangeline directly but that would be a bit crass .

. . .

Niel was now in front of the student council room, when he suddenly heard a shout .

"AAAAAHHHH!!!" Alarmed Niel burst into the room, only to see a messy haired Evangeline standing on top of her desk .

Niel was about to back away and close the door, but was stopped by Evangeline .

"Niel, perfect timing! I have a favor to ask of you . " Hearing his name suddenly being called Niel had no more time to retreat .

"Whatever do you need of me?" As Niel asked this, Evangeline approached him with a scary look in her eyes . The first thought that came to Niel’s mind was did she finally lose it?

Evangeline who was now standing in front of Niel, held his hand and said . "Will you please grant me strength?"

"Huh?" Seeing Niel’s confused expression, Evangeline rephrase her question .

"Will you teach me how to fight?"
