Adopted Soldier

Chapter 415 - After story: The Blind Kyle

Due to the loss of his eyesight, many things became hard for Kyle, but after he gained his supernatural power from the new organ that gave him the ability to sense the weakest spot of another person, losing his eyesight wasn’t that bad. In fact, because of the loss of his sight, all of his other senses had improved.

He was more attuned with his surroundings than ever before. The only downside of his blindness was that he could no longer admire Sarah’s paintings. Also every time they talked Sarah was obviously sad when she’s reminded that Kyle could no longer see. This made Kyle feel bad as well.

...

"I just don’t know what to do. How can I make her feel better?" Kyle wrapped his head in frustration. He was currently inside his house talking with someone. The person sitting in front of him had a stoic expression. He looked at Kyle for a few seconds before responding.

"So you called me to talk about how to make someone feel better? Instructor Kyle I don’t think this was the right call." Alex replied while looking at the downhearted Kyle.

"Among all my friends, you’re the closest one in age to me. Also, I’m sure the oh so perfect Alex would be able to deal with such a simple problem."

"I’m far from perfect instructor... Also wouldn’t it be better to ask someone more experienced in this field?"

"Is the person with two wives really saying something like this?"

"You do know that the reason for me having two wives is because of the decline in population. Also, it’s not like I did anything special to get two wives. They came to me on their own." Alex said all of this with his stoic expression. Kyle even though blind was looking straight at Alex with a dumbfounded expression. He then mumbled under his breath as he clicked his tongue.

"Tsk, look at this guy flexing so naturally like that."

"I’m not flexing or anything just stating facts." Even though Kyle spoke in a barely audible voice Alex could still read his lips, so he knew what was said. Hearing Alex’s response Kyle sighed.

"I forgot you were this kind of absurd human."

"Instructor I don’t even understand why you need anyone’s help. If I remember correctly when it comes to girls you were the absurd one."

"Huh, what are you talking about? Aren’t you talking about yourself?"

"I remember one time you made a girl you just met blush like crazy and follow you around. I remember the conversation you had with her the very first time you met. You first spoke about how you were a sniper and then after a few laughs, you said these words. I only need one shot to pierce your heart."

When Kyle heard what Alex said he remembered that exact conversation. He also used that line a lot of times with different kinds of girls. Yet when he heard it coming from Alex he felt embarrassed.

"You’re one to talk. I once saw you placate a whole group of girls. What was it you said on that day?... Oh right you said with that stoic face of yours, I can’t be swayed by your pretty faces nor your alluring voices. Saying those words with that look made them squeal."

"What’s the problem with that? I just told them the facts. They were indeed beautiful women, with alluring voices since they were idols. Still, I was on a mission so I had no time to deal with them. So I told them the facts, so what was wrong with that, I don’t get it?"

Hearing Alex’s response Kyle couldn’t help but facepalm. ’This guy did grow emotionally somehow, but he’s still so clueless. Of course, he won’t be embarrassed by saying something like that, he doesn’t even understand the other meaning of what he said.’ This time Kyle simply thought of it so that Alex couldn’t hear it.

"I know that I’m clueless in this sort of thing, so you do need to explain to me what the hidden meaning behind my words were." Kyle was now genuinely surprised as he replied.

"What the f*ck did you just read my mind? Did you gain the ability to read minds now?"

"No, I have not gained the ability to read minds. I just guessed what you were thinking, based on the conversation we just had, your subtle body movements, as well as my basic understanding of you, all of these factors lead me to this conclusion. You most probably thought, Alex, is so clueless and doesn’t even know the hidden meaning behind his words."

"The heck you really are such an absurd being."

"So instructor I think you really don’t need someone like me giving you advice in this situation. Just being yourself is enough, I’m sure that your wife would be happy if you just be yourself. If it’s you instructor I’m certain that everything would be alright."

Alex’s indifferent tone changed into a more gentle one. Kyle could not see but he felt like Alex was smiling at him. When Kyle heard those words and felt that warmth coming from Alex, he couldn’t help but chuckle. This guy sitting right in front of me is saying such words that could make someone’s heart start racing so easily.

"You really are such an absurd monster."

"Instructor can you please stop calling me a monster."

"Sure, sure... Alex, thanks for the advice. I feel a bit confident now that I heard what you said. If you believe in me so much, then as your instructor I need to follow up in that belief."

"It’s good that you sound like the normal instructor Kyle now." Kyle stood up and place his arms around Alex’s shoulders.

"So to celebrate this breakthrough we’re going to drink until we drop."

"You do remember instructor, that unlike you I don’t get drunk so easily."

"Oh, is that a challenge? How c.o.c.ky of you Alex, let this instructor of yours show you true despair." Unable to reject Kyle, Alex drank with him. After a dozen drinks, Kyle became tipsy but he didn’t give up. After a couple of dozen more, even Alex was feeling wobbly, on the other hand, Kyle was already too drunk to do anything.
