Adopted Soldier

The ten men wanted to dodge but were unable to do anything, since the arrows came down not only in numbers but they were accurate as well . It was like the archer who was shooting could predict their every movement .

The man who used to be an A rank merc was now extremely frightened . He who had the most experience of the ten was easily subdued, he wasn’t even able to see the arrows coming . How many men were there? Were there four God like archers, hiding in the shadows?

"So you guys have finally returned . " Hearing a voice echo throughout the warehouse, made the ten men even more alert . They looked at the place where they heard the voice, and then they saw who spoke, it was none other than Alex .

When they saw Alex the brat they where ridiculing awhile ago show up with bow and arrows, they couldn’t accept that it was possible he was the one who fired the arrows . The leader of the group didn’t want to believe it either, but he couldn’t see anyone else but Alex .

"I told you to train using the bow, but not only did you do it for a measly one hour, you even left the Safehouse, when I didn’t tell you to do so . It seems like you guys don’t respect me as your superior . I would need to fix that wont I?"

Alex nocked another arrow, and this time with all of the ten men looking at him Alex fired an arrow . Alex’s form was near perfection, and the moment he fired the arrow, it passed by one of the men, and slightly scratched his cheek .

The ten men seeing this couldn’t move from their spot, as they were scared sh*tless by Alex’s skill . If Alex wanted to, he could easily kill the ten of them from a long distance . The arrogant man who was supposedly the leader of the ten, simply believed that Alex was only good in using a bow, but if they all had weapons he could probably do something to the overconfident brat .

Alex noticed the look the leader of the ten gave him . He knows that look since he has seen it many times on the battlefield, it is when a soldier thinks if . If I was able to shoot on time, if I was able to throw the grenade, and other such nonsense . Still Alex needed to show these fools that he was not a person they want to mess with .

He then threw the bow and arrows to the side, and gestured to the men to come and get him . The ten men seeing Alex discard his weapon didn’t bother to think anymore and simply charge at him . The leader on the other hand ran towards the weapon storage area .

Alex noticed the leader of the group heading towards the storage area, and let him go . He needed to show these guys that no matter what they did in their current level, they wont be able to do anything to him .

The nine men started to attack Alex, but for some reason they went ahead and attacked not in a group but one at a time . Alex of course subdued them individually and he did it quite easily .

"Why are you guys attacking one at a time?"

"Because it is not honorable to attack a lone man with many . " The man whose arm Alex was twisting answered .

"Huh? In a fight there really is no need to be honorable, all you need to think about is how to survive . So this time come again, but all at the same time . "

The nine men looked at each other, and hesitated to attack Alex seeing that it went against what they believed in .

"If you guys don’t attack at the same time, I will be forced to get a bit serious . I was holding back a lot awhile ago, but if you don’t want to fight properly, maybe if you feel like you’re going to die you men might fight better . "

When the nine men heard that Alex was going easy on them, and that he would attack in full force if they don’t gang up on him, made them tremble . This one statement from Alex, stripped them of their pride and honor . Alex’s strength was beyond what they expected, and they were afraid of what he meant by they will feel like they’re going to die .

Now without any of their supposed honor, the nine men attack at the same time . Their coordination was surprisingly better than expected, but it was still not enough . Same as before they were quickly subdued by Alex .

"You guys are much worse than I expected . " When Alex said this, as if on cue the leader came back, and he was holding a rifle . Alex who saw the rifle he was holding figured at a glance that it had thirty rounds .

The leader of the supposed elite men of the Harimas, saw the other nine on the ground moaning in pain . When he saw this, he did not hesitate and fired at Alex .

Seeing him about to pull the trigger, Alex when into his RELEASE state . The leader who fired at Alex, expected to see Alex with a hole in his shoulder bleeding, but what he actually saw made him doubt if this was reality or simply a bad dream .

Alex was able to dodge the bullet, and was now slowly walking towards him . Seeing the demon like Alex approach him the leader started shooting continuously but like a ghost none of the bullets could hit Alex .

When he finally ran out of bullets Alex was standing right in front of him . The leader who saw Alex, trembled in fright as his knees gave in and he fell on his butt .

Alex sighed as he saw this . He was expecting more when he heard this man was supposedly a former A rank merc .

"This is really worse than I anticipated . . . Fine then, I will train you ten from scratch . I hope you had fun awhile ago, since that’s the last time you will ever have fun . "
