Chapter 41 Lyner (1/2)
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.
