Chapter 190 Under my scope (1/2)

Kyle was still monitoring Lilitth, and aside from that one time that some people tried to kidnap Niki there was no action to be had. Kyle was bored by this assignment, since it wasn't really interesting looking at little girls.

The only interesting thing that was happening, was that not only are the Rayheart's being targeted by some Granado Empire spies, Rachel Regius also had a bounty on her head. Maybe it would have been more exciting to monitor those people instead.

He also felt that there was something going on with Alex. After Alex came back from his own monitoring, he would sometimes place his hand on his forehead. He actually looked to be in pain.

This was the first time Kyle has seen Alex in pain.

...

Kyle was one of the last few to join Carlo's mercenary squad. When he joined he found it weird to see a ten year old kid staying as a merc.

Carlo introduced the kid to be his son Alex, and asked Kyle to teach him the ways of long range combat.

At first Kyle thought Alex would be like those irritating young masters he met. Seeing as he was the son of the commander he was expecting him to be an extremely proud kid.

Yet contrary to his belief Alex turned out to be something different. He wasn't arrogant, or obnoxious or full of pride. He wasn't anything like that, he was just empty. Kyle almost thought he was an android, a robot that looked human.

If he didn't bleed during training Kyle would have really convinced himself that Alex was an android.

Kyle was amazed by Alex the first time he tried to train him, Alex did everything he said perfectly. He followed every order to the letter. It took Alex four months to learn everything about how Kyle uses long range weapons.

He wasn't as good as Kyle, but he was close. The only thing Alex needed to improve was experience. All throughout his horrendous training sessions Alex never showed any indication he was in pain.
