Adopted Soldier

Chapter 60

Alex was having a bit of fun watching the Gaming Club members play their game . The actions they were taking had not much effect in the real world, killing the enemy in this gaming world brings out no complications in the real world . To Alex who had killed, time and time again, he who kept repeating to himself that he needed to become something more than human, as he killed endlessly in the battlefield, felt like the game they were playing was for some reason enjoyable .

Though in his mind Alex was suppose to think this game was something horrible, and this might make some extreme people feel like killing is ok . Still in Alex's opinion this was an ok mindset, in their current world they didn't know when a full out war will happen, so kids desensitization to killing might be good .

Alex had numerous conflicting feelings while watching them play, that he couldn't understand most of them . The enemies in the game were nothing like those in real life, their expression were already lifeless like those of the dead . The enemies didn't beg for mercy their eyes weren't clouded, and the thick smell of blood was not around .

'So this is what the kids my age are playing . . . ' Alex's feelings were getting weirder and weirder . When he was out in the battlefield fighting for his life, trying to be stronger, the kids his age were playing this sort of games, in the safety of their homes .

Rachel and the others weren't watching the game anymore, all of their attention was on Alex right now . For the first time since they met him, Alex was actually having different expressions showing on his face . It was amazing that his face could turn from happy to tragic, in a matter of seconds .

The group couldn't understand what was happening to Alex . . . The game the Gaming Club members were currently playing, was it truly so captivating that Alex who usually has a poker face on, was now showing these different kinds of expressions?

The game was finally over, and the Gaming Club had barely won . When the members of the Gaming Club removed their headphones, almost all of them stumbled from their chairs, when they saw they were surrounded by unfamiliar people .

Only one person didn't do so, it was a girl with an androgynous looking face, and short hair . Currently she wasn't wearing the school uniform and was wearing a tight fitting black tank top, and skinny jeans . The girl was not as cute as Saya, nor as beautiful as Rachel, but she wasn't exactly ugly either, with her sexy body and cool looks combined, her overall look could rank up there with the top beauties of the school .

She looked at Alex and his group with a bit of irritation shown in the expression of her face . Then one of the guys who fell on his butt, screamed at the group .

"WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU GUYS!?" The man who shouted stood up, his height was pretty average, and his face wasn't anything spectacular either, the only thing that sets him apart from most people was the angry glare he gives, which makes him look like a delinquent .

"We're from the Mercenary Club . " The one who answered the angry looking delinquent was Oliver . Seeing Oliver's powerful looking body, the delinquent wasn't intimidated even a bit, instead he sneered at the group from the Mercenary Club .

"What the hell does the oh so famous club want with us? Are you here to gloat that the student council president is your b*tch and you g-" Before the delinquent looking guy could finish his sentence he was suddenly surrounded . Alex was pointing his finger at the delinquent's throat . Niel was standing behind the delinquent his palm placed at the delinquent's back . Saya had a ballpen almost pierce the delinquent's right eye . Even Rachel had her fist placed on the delinquent's stomach . Oliver was simply standing in front of the delinquent looking doubly intimidating .

Kei who saw everyone move from beginning to end, couldn't even discern some of their movements . Rachel, and Niel's moves were still within the range of normal, that is if you compare them to Alex, and Saya's movements which go beyond the realm of his understanding .

Alex moved from point A to Point B within a blink of an eye, Saya's movements were just as swift . Kei couldn't believe what he saw 'what hell is this? Am I inside a battle manga?' Kei was amazed at the sudden movements everyone did .

The delinquent like guy on the other hand was shocked and scared . There was actually a f*cking ballpen about to pierce his eye, if he moves his head even a tiny bit the ballpen might pierce his eye . The biggest issue was the finger that was placed at his throat, for some reason he was dreadful of this finger . The finger felt like it could pierce his throat and take his life .

The other members of the Gaming Club just looked at their club president being surrounded with a dumb look on their faces . Even the androgynous cool looking girl had her eyes wide open in shock as she saw game like movements performed in real life .

"Who the hell do you think you are? Do you want to disappear?" Oliver said those words as threatening as possible . His voice started sounding low and gravelly .

"That's not a good thing to say . Saying such things to someone like our cute little hardworking student council president, is not something you should do . " Niel said so with his usual smile, but the tone of his voice felt a bit icy .

"Hehehe, You think you can call Eva something like that? I think you're blind, well if I pierce your eyes you will be blind . " Even though Saya was speaking in her usual cheerful voice, the action she was taking was extremely scary .

"Even though she is a bit irritating, she is still my friend, and no one talks about my friends that way!" Rachel clenched her fist tighter .

Alex didn't say anything but the intensity of his aura made the delinquent looking guy wanna pee his pants . Alex was truly angry at the moment, because ever since meeting Evangeline, she had done a lot of things for him . He owed Evangeline too much, for her to be disrespected right in front of him, this made Alex so angry that he wanted to rip the delinquent looking guy's head off . If it was not for the restrictions given to him by his dad, the guy in front of him should be dead .
