Chapter 178 Scared (1/2)

The news of Lyner being the one and only SS rank merc of Berdonia was a shock to the group, but not as much as Sayaka being an assassin. The way Lyner acted and talked was already a dead giveaway, so hearing him proclaiming himself to be a merc wasn't that surprising.

What truly surprised the group was his rank of SS. The mercs known to the public were usually B rank mercs, the most famous one was a movie star. On the other hand A rank mercs above were always unknown figures some even thought that there was no rank above B.

Seeing how the B rank merc who was a movie star, did all his stunts which were all unbelievable. They couldn't imagine what kind of skills Lyner truly had.

The guy who was usually asleep turned out to be someone unbelievable... Still now that they think about it, this could explain why he was treated like a King by the other staff members, and why he gets paid even if he sleeps all day.

...

Same with Sayaka the group wanted to do some Q and A with Lyner, but that proved difficult since once again he was already in deep sleep. Alex warned everyone present, if someone was stupid enough to get near Lyner while in that state, they might actually die.

After hearing what Alex said no one tried to wake up the sleeping dragon.

...

Lunch time was now over and everyone went back to their classrooms, except for Kei who directly went into the restroom, and hid himself in there. Kei was now sitting down on the toilet seat shivering in fear.

Awhile ago he looked like he accepted the idea of Sayaka being an assassin, as well as Lyner being the one and only SS rank merc of Berdonia. But in truth he was scared sh*tless, worse of all he was alone in this fear. Based on how everyone reacted it would seem like he was the only one scared.

In his head, that could only mean one thing. The other members had equally scary backgrounds.

”Okay I need to calm down.” Kei tried to control the shivering of his body, as he started to hyperventilate. He then began to look at his phone and typed SS rank merc theories. This was something he does to calm down, when he learns a shocking news, he tries to gain more information.

This might sound counterproductive to some, but to Kei it wasn't. There were many theories about SS rank mercs, it said that each of three largest countries had one. Yet the one who was most famous was the recently appointed SS rank merc of Berdonia.

That merc even had a verse dedicated to him.

Run, run, run, cause here he comes.

Run, run, run, for the monster comes.

A Swish of his blade and your head begone

With the shot of his gun, you're all but done.
