Chapter 52 The Mercenary clubs thoughts (1/2)

Once he was done escorting Rachel, who had gotten home safely, Alex headed home as well. When he got back the first thing he did was give a report to his dad regarding his day. When Alex reported about his fight with Lyner, for a brief moment Carlo felt excited. His son was actually able to hold his own against the legend of legends, a Rank SS merc! But this excitement quickly died down.

'What the hell was I thinking?! I made Alex leave the battlefield to return to a normal life, but I allowed him to fight an SS rank merc!... I guess I haven't really left the battlefield... Not yet...'

Alex seeing his dad in deep contemplation, left the room.

...

A girl was tossing and turning in her bed, this girl was Rachel Regius. She was utterly angry and ashamed, not only did she used that deadbeat's martial art, she actually had Alex smell her sweaty body! Every time she remembers what happened awhile ago, Rachel would start squeezing her pillow, as if she wanted to suffocate it.

'What the hell am I doing!? Wasn't I suppose to change Alex's personality to make him into a better boyfriend material?... Yet I allowed him to join a weird club, be surrounded by weird people, and now we even have a mysterious weird adviser! Not only that, it seems like I'm the one who has been having a change in personality! Still, I guess Alex has been more bearable now than when we first met... Fine then, I'll just change him bit by bit, no need to rush.'

Saya came home, once she entered inside her house, there where no lights, the whole ambiance was dark and dreary. A single blade suddenly flash by her side, ”Oh your back? So how was it? Was he powerful?” Saya looked at the person who spoke to her. It was a shadow of a man, whose face couldn't be discerned even if you look with all your might, as he was blending in, being one with the darkness.

Saya smiled when she saw the man, ”Yes father, he was absurdly strong. He didn't even fight seriously, and it seems like his body wasn't at its peak at the moment. Still even in this condition he could crush you in a matter of seconds.”

The man in the shadows felt like he was smiling, no one would be able to tell, since he had perfectly blended into the darkness. ”Oh?”

”Well that is, if you fought directly out in the open... If you fought in your terms, I think it would be an even match.” Saya giggled at his father.

”Heh, so even in my own home ground, I'll just be able to fight evenly... Well that's a merc for you. There not like those who operate in the light, like those soldiers... They're more like people who travel between the light and the darkness. Us on the other hand purely operate in the darkness.” After saying what he wanted Saya's father disappeared from sight.

”You better sleep early, you still have school tomorrow.” Saya's father's words echoed through the hallway.

”Good night father.” Saya headed to her room, smiling slyly as she was thinking of new ways to tease Oliver.
