Chapter 297 Mercenary Club (2/2)

”What the hell!” Rachel suddenly screamed.

”Congratulations you two.” Niel simply showed his best smile and gave a thumbs up to his two juniors.

”Hahaha.” Evangeline on the other hand started laughing. It has been a long time since she last laughed. Being with these people truly made her feel that there was no war going on. It made her feel nostalgic, like they were all back in that clubroom of theirs. Even though she wasn't technically a part of the Mercenary Club, but to them to her she was already a part of it a long time ago.

”Why are you suddenly laughing Eva? Do you find this funny?” Rachel looked at Evangeline seeing this once cool beauty act like this made her feel a bit weird.

”It's nothing, its just that... We might have all changed over the past year, but for some reason we still remained the same. I don't know how to explain it properly, but that's what I feel. Seeing you guys here doing these kind of things as usual made me remember the old times.”

Hearing what Evangeline said the other four smiled as well.

”Yeah it's like we're back in that clubroom of ours. Where Sir Lyner is still sleeping, Sayaka is messing with Oliver while he is talking about our next event. Alex would stay beside me quietly watching. Niel would like he is now, be smiling at us. Kei would be taking down notes, while Emily would be messing around on her laptop. Then you would drop by to join in the fun... Yeah, those were the days.”

Rachel couldn't help but smile while tears flow down her face. The other who were listening to what she said also started to tear up.

”Yet now... Alex has been kidnapped by his grandfather. Oliver is gone and we have no idea where he is. I haven't heard anything from Sayaka either, but I did hear rumors that Sayaka's dad has died, and she would most probably take his position.... Also now... Now, Sir Lyner is gone...”

The group suddenly turned gloomy when they remember those events. While the group was now sinking into depression as their heads were lowered they suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was the voice of someone who shouldn't exist anymore.

”What the hell are you brats doing sulking like that. Your friends have been captured, are missing, and some might be heading towards their deaths, sulking wont help you there. So instead of feeling sorry for yourselves, how about you brats go out and find them yourselves.”

When the club members heard what the familiar voice said they all raised their heads. Was it possible, was there teacher actually alive. Was he able to actually fool everyone. It was surely possible if it was him. The group then started to look around trying to find where the voice came from. Yet they saw no one resembling Lyner, instead they saw Niel touching his throat.

”Where you the one who did that?” Rachel asked Niel, who responded by showing a vicious smile that was similar to Lyner and answered in his normal voice.

”Yeah I was the one who did that, I was the one who was talking in Sir Lyner's voice. Don't blame me for doing that, it's because you guys made faces the look like the end of the world was coming. If Sir Lyner was here I'm sure he would have said the same thing.”

Hearing what Niel said the others wiped the tears from their faces. Niel was right if Lyner was here, he would most probably say the same thing. Seeing the others finally perking up, Niel spoke to Rachel.

”Rachel now that Oliver and Alex aren't here, you are the only one left of the original starting members. I guess leadership should fall under you. So leader what should we do?”

Everyone was now looking at Rachel. Feeling everyone's gaze on her, Rachel closed her eyes and sighed. She then looked back at her fellow club members and smiled confidently as she announced.

”Isn't it obvious what we're going to do next. Of course we the Mercenary Club are going out, to save our friends!”
