Adopted Soldier

"How long is the duration of the mission?"

"Until you graduate, or if there is an extension you will be informed promptly . "

"What weapons can I use?"

"You are permitted to use your specialized handgun, but only use rubber bullets . If the situation truly needs it, inform me first and wait for approval to use deadly force . " Carlo knew that his son wouldn’t really need to use deadly force, since he could subdue most threats without killing anyone . The only reason he said those things is to make what he said seem like a real mission .

"Also is any girl suitable for this mission or do you have anyone in mind?"

"The choice is yours, any girl you deem suitable to be protected will do . "

"Affirmative!" Alex saluted once more and headed towards his room, he needed to prepare for the upcoming mission .

. . .

The following day Alex was walking towards his new school, and was thinking deeply . ’Who should I protect? Dad said it must be a girl I find suitable to protect . . . But who could that be? What kind of girl is suitable to protect? . . . I’m getting nowhere with this kind of thinking, better keep it simple . The first girl that I see that is a student of my school will be the girl I protect . ’

Once he was done with his own internal dilemma Alex headed to school with a new sense of vigor . Noticing that he was going to be late if he doesn’t hurry, Alex was about to sprint . Yet as if destiny was playing with him, someone bumped him at the back . Before the other party was able to have a crash contact with him, Alex with his fighting reflexes grab hold of the person behind him and threw her .

When Alex finally notices that his body automatically reacted to the surprise hit, he tried to soften the other party’s landing .

The other party that was thrown landed on their buttocks . It was a girl wearing a red blazer, a red ribbon tie, and a blue skirt barely reaching her knees . This was the uniform of Huriel Public High School that Alex was attending .

The girl stood up and glared at Alex . She was a beautiful girl with long black hair, that was tied in two messy low pigtails . She had a fringe just above her blue eyes, her body was fair and slim . She seem to be exuding an almost haughty aura .

"Hey you why the hell did you throw me?" The girl asked Alex in an irritated tone of voice .

Alex who stood in front of every kind of battlefield without worry on his face, was now extremely worried . He didn’t know what to say for a situation such as this, he didn’t even know how to talk with people his age, much less a girl his age .

"Sorry Ma’am for throwing you . It was an accident . "

"Ma’am? Why are talking that way? Huh shit! I’m going to be late!" The girl wanted to say something more, but suddenly remembered that the she was going to be late for class .

"Fine then I’ll accept your apology weirdo, since I have no time . " The girl sprinted away without waiting for Alex’s reply .

Alex stood their dumbfounded by the whole situation, then he remembered what he said before the girl bumped into him . The first girl from the same school he meets would be the target that would need to be protected .

’So that’s the girl who I need to protect at all cost . . . Fine then let the mission start . ’ Alex sprinted forward, immediately catching up with the girl . He jogged exactly one meter behind her, the girl being in a hurry didn’t notice that Alex already caught up .

When the two reached the school grounds the girl headed towards her classroom, Alex tried to follow her but when he saw that her classroom was 1-B he stopped and looked at his memo . It was written there that he was assigned to classroom 1-A .

Alex then made a call to his father .

"Hey Alex, did you get to school properly?" Those were the first words Carlo asked his son when he picked up the phone .

"Affirmative, I reached the designated place on time . "

"So what’s the matter? Aren’t you suppose to be in class right now?"

"Yes, but I ran into a little problem . " When Carlo heard his son say a little problem his face turned serious .

"Did you kill somebody already?"

"Negative, I have not used lethal force as of now . " When Carlo heard his son’s answer he sighed in relief .

"So then what’s the problem?"

"The target I have picked is situated in classroom 1-B, while I’m in classroom 1-A . Asking permission to threaten the Principal into placing me in classroom 1-B . "

"What! No rejected!" Carlo almost dropped the phone shocked at what Alex just said .

"Then can I use force and enter classroom 1-B"

"No!"

"Can I use a drone to monitor classroom 1-B"

"No!’ Carlo said exasperated at his son’s ideas .

"Then what can I do Dad, how can I protect the target when she’s in another room?"

Carlo sighed, "I will handle that, just give me a minute . "

Carlo then started making some phone calls, and after a few minutes Carlo called Alex back .

"There it’s done, you just need to wait and a teacher will be there . " Just right after Carlo said so, a teacher who was running frantically arrived in front of Alex .

"Alexander Samarita?"

"Yes that is me . "

"Follow me, I’m your new homeroom teacher David Lorand . " The guy calling himself Alex’s homeroom teacher was an average looking person who was a head shorter than Alex, who stood at a 172 cm .

David looked at Alex warily, since the grumpy old Principal actually ran to the teacher’s lounge looking for him, telling him an important student was waiting in the hallway .

David was wondering what kind of identity Alex had to make the prideful old grump act that way .

"So please wait here while I introduce you to the class . "

David entered the classroom, when the door was opened Alex heard the noisy insides of the classroom .

"Everyone sit down, I’ll be introducing a new friend to you all . "

When David said those lines the students started whispering .

"A transfer student?"

"I thought Class A will be getting a transfer student, were there two of them?"

"I wonder what kind of person the transfer student will be like . "

"Ahem . . . Alexander please come in and introduce yourself . "

Alex entered the room and once he did a female student shouted .

"It’s the weirdo!"

This was the start of Alex’s weird, yet fun High School life .
