Adopted Soldier

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.

Kyle even saw Alex have two daggers stuck on his shoulders when he was twelve. The blood that gushed out of that wound was overflowing. Even with that kind of wound Alex's face remained ever stoic.

Yet now that kid that could pretty much take a bullet head on and not even blink from the pain was showing actually weakness.

Kyle seeing Alex like this for the first time felt something ominous coming. He needed to be more vigilant now than ever, but watching a little girl going to school doesn't really help Kyle's motivation.

As he was monitoring Lilitth's movements, Kyle felt it was weird that Carlo hasn't contacted him yet. Was the guy they were trying to capture really that dangerous? Or was there something else going on.

While Kyle was thinking about Carlo and the others, he noticed that a teacher was approaching Lilitth. This was the same teacher that seems to be helping her all the time. If the information Emily gave was correct, that teacher was Lilitth's art teacher Sarah Resti.

She was a twenty two year old teacher. Single, lives alone and has normal family background. She wasn't a threat or anything special.

Kyle was wondering why that teacher was so nice to Lilitth. At first a lot of teachers cuddle and help Lilitth, this could be because of her family background, but after awhile those teachers slowly stopped helping her and treated her like any other student. It was only Sarah Resti that remained the same.

'Could it really be because of Alex, like Emi said? Or could it be because she was a good teacher? Or it could be both. Well no matter the cause, she is a bit interesting. I wonder why she's single? She has a good and stable job, she's nice to look at, and she's still pretty young. Is she just a very picky person and wants the perfect prince charming? Or is there something wrong with her?...'

Kyle who was bored watching Lilitth, found it interesting to look at the teacher. She was very good at sculpting, and her paintings felt alive to him. She was a really pretty teacher, well most of the teachers in Lilitth's school were pretty and handsome. It was like they were chosen not just by their skills but also their looks.

As Kyle kept on monitoring Lilitth for the past few days he was also monitoring Sarah since he was a bit interested in her. Kyle then remembered what he and his sister were talking about a few days ago, about him getting a wife. Kyle couldn't help but chuckle at this thought.

'I guess it would be better to test the waters and see where it goes... Sarah Resti I got you under my scope, and once I'm sure, I'll pierce that heart of yours with a single shot.'

Kyle hunt the best marksman has set his sights on the unsuspecting art teacher.
