Chapter 178 Scared (2/2)

This new piece of information made Lyner seem like the boogeyman, but much scarier since he was real, and he was his club adviser. The more Kei searched online, the more Kei understood how frightening Lyner was.

Of course some of the information was bogus, but Kei knew which ones were lies, and which one were real. This was one of the skills he acquired after a long time gathering information, it was like a sixth sense of sorts.

'Sir Lyner has once raided the base of two of the ten Generals of the Granado Empire. He was even suspected to have killed the son of one of them.' At this point Kei was looking for information in the deep web. Some of the things written here about Lyner was too exaggerated to be true.

'This can't be real right? Sir Lyner was once ambushed by four S rank mercs, with one hundred B rank mercs, and even mid tier soldiers. It even says he left only one alive to tell the story. This is too much to be true...' Even though he was saying it was too much, Kei's instincts was telling him otherwise.

As he went in deeper Kei was shocked to see, that Lyner was not only involved with the top ranks of the Granado Empire, but the Southern union as well. He read that one of the three Saints, the female Saint had actually proposed to Lyner, and he fled.

That female Saint has tried numerous times to enter Berdonia to chase Lyner, but the government wouldn't allow it. Even though Berdonia and the Southern Union weren't antagonistic like the Granado Empire, they weren't friends either. The relationship between the two nations was in a neutral stance. So seeing that one of the Saints wants to mess around with an SS rank merc of another country, of course the country protected Lyner.

There was a lot more information about Lyner, but Kei wanted to check about Sayka's family too. He looked online and all it says was Sayaka's family is a respected old family of Berdonia, that existed since its making, when Berdonia broke away from the Empire.

Obviously there was no mention about them being assassins, but there was a lot of information about them being great artisans. It was even mentioned that the masks they make were second to none.

Kei kept on digging until he found an old thread in one of the forums about famous killings. It was said here, that there was a theory that in Berdonia lives a fearsome family of assassins. This assassin family was so good that all there murders would look like accidents or suicide.

It was also said that this family produced the strongest assassin called... It was only up to there and the post doesn't continue anymore.

Kei tried to dig into it deeper but there was no more information about this so called legendary assassin family of Berdonia. All the forums and threads pertaining them don't exist, except that one old thread.

It was like they left that thread to be a warning for the others that were trying to learn more. Kei was now unsure, if he could truly look Sayaka in the face and not shiver in fear. Though for some reason it was not only fear, he was feeling, Kei was also feeling excited as well.

It was like he was part of something bigger. It was like he was the protagonist of a story, where he stumbles upon an exciting new world he wasn't suppose to be a part off, yet now he was.

Kei always dreamt of breaking away his normal mundane life. That's also one of the reasons he liked collecting information about other people, since it felt like they were living a more exciting life than he was.

Yet now he was actually living in that exciting life, and he wants to back out? Could he even back out at this point? Kei was feeling really conflicted. He was just a normal high school boy, that was a bit better than most in collecting information. That was it, aside from that there was nothing special about him.

His scores in school weren't high nor were they low. His athletic ability was a bit better than most, and his looks were pretty much average. If you look at him in a crowd of people you would have difficulty finding him.

'This might be my only chance to join this kind of world... What should I do?' Kei was in a crossroads in his life.
