Chereads / Adopted Soldier: Second Route / Chapter 10 - Patrol

Chapter 10 - Patrol

After their talk about clubs, Oliver and Alex accompanied Rachel to her house. At first, Rachel didn't want the two of them to follow her, but after persuading her a little she finally agreed for the two to accompany her back to her house. It wasn't that far from the school, and once they were done escorting her the two said their goodbyes and left. 

"So where are we going to go on patrol?" 

"Let's start here and see where our feet will take us." 

Oliver started walking in a certain direction and Alex followed behind him. The two of them were walking at a fast pace while looking around. It was around 4:30 in the afternoon and many people were walking on the sidewalk.

Alex who was walking behind Oliver noticed the other party's movements were weird. Oliver who was bigger than most would normally have a problem passing through this crowd of people, but what was happening before Alex's eyes was something else. 

Oliver was going through the crowd by walking in the empty spots with fluid movements, not only that but he was able to get behind someone's blind spot while moving in such a way. 

'Is this part of your training? Then I will follow suit.'

Alex also moved through the crowd the same way. Oliver who noticed Alex's movements nodded his head in appreciation. 

'I see, is Alex also moving to avoid hitting other people? I did find it troubling when my body became bigger so I needed to do this, but Alex is smaller than me. Well, maybe he just wanted to follow close behind.' 

Alex who was appreciating Oliver's form of training did not know that Oliver was not training or anything great like he thought. It was just that Oliver was avoiding the people and it just so happens that he was also able to get into their blind spots. 

...

The two weaved through the crowd without a problem, every now and then Oliver would stop and do something. From picking up trash on the street to helping an old person cross the street, Oliver and Alex would help. 

"So is this what you do on patrol?" Alex asked while picking up some trash. 

"Yeah, sometimes I would also try to talk to some delinquents loitering in the playground. I who had seen hell wanted to talk to those on the wrong path and change their fate. Unfortunately, they would never listen and before I could talk they would either attack or run." 

Oliver was quite famous in the neighborhood, not only because of his weird way of talking. The first time Oliver did his patrols he met delinquents and wanted to talk to them but the moment they saw him they started threatening him and then without warning attacked him. Despite it being his first fight Oliver with his superior athleticism and his incredible physique was able to win without much difficulty. After that day rumors about a powerful guy roaming around the neighborhood began to spread. 

Nowadays there are only two types of reactions delinquents in the area have when they see Oliver, the first reaction of some is to run while the rest want to fight. Not a single delinquent wanted to talk to Oliver, and because he was unable to control his strength properly Oliver mostly made his opponent faint from a single attack.

...

"Stop, let go of me you pervert!" 

Alex and Oliver who were walking in a nearly empty street suddenly heard the voice of someone shouting. The two dashed towards the area where they heard the voice. When they arrived in the alleyway they saw a young woman surrounded by several men wearing school uniforms. 

The young woman they were harassing was wearing a white face mask, a long jacket, a white baseball cap, a baggy shirt, and pants. Despite wearing such things and having a fierce glare you can still see that she was quite pretty. 

"I advise you to stop what you're doing right now," Oliver spoke catching the attention of those present. 

"Huh, who the f*ck are you?" The nearest delinquent approached Alex and Oliver with a menacing face, but when he got closer he noticed how big and tall Oliver was. 

"I'm someone who just wants to talk." 

Despite Oliver being bigger than him the delinquent that was near Oliver did not back down and instead looked Oliver straight in the eye. 

"You want to talk, sure how about you talk to my fist!"

The delinquent suddenly punched aiming at Oliver's head. Oliver was going to evade the attack but before the delinquent's fist could reach him Alex had grabbed hold of the other party's fist. 

"Since you want to talk to them Oliver, allow me to get them into a listening mood."

Alex who was holding the arm of the delinquent flipped the other party making the delinquent hit the ground. The delinquent that was flipped fainted upon hitting the pavement. When the other delinquents saw what happened to their companion they came running and stood in front of Alex and Oliver. 

There were eight delinquents in front of Alex and Oliver. Alex observed each delinquent and based solely on their physiques they seem to be better than most students. Two delinquents came charging at Alex with their fists above their heads. 

These guys were obviously amateurs who knew not a single martial art. Alex easily evaded their attacks grabbed their wrists and using their momentum flipped them like the first guy. The bodies of the two hit the ground in such a way that made them faint. Seeing this scene the remaining six delinquents hesitated to attack. 

Alex did not wait for them to make a move and instead made a move himself. Alex charged forward and with a jab hit four delinquents in their chins. The speed and power Alex used while hitting their chins rattled the brains of the delinquents. Alex was about to deal with the remaining two delinquents when they did something unexpected. 

"We surrender!"
