The Magician of Sound

Looking at how the other two had died in his group's hand, Kai smiled as he leaped toward Rizou.

"It's already over."

"No!" Rizou roared, sending an overbearing magic power to the surroundings.

Kai felt his blood riled up as if it was responding to Rizou. "This… This is like what happens if I overuse my Lion Blood! I will start losing my consciousness and go berserk! Still, why does the fur start to appear in his body? Shouldn't it be a human body?"

Furrowing his eyebrows, Kai contemplated before realizing the difference between him and Rizou. It was a simple thing but made a different result. For Kai, his Lion Blood was mostly inactive, but Rizou's Wolf Blood was dominating his human blood. Hence, the moment it was stimulated even further, Rizou would completely become a wolf… No, a werewolf.

Kai took a deep breath and assessed the situation with a cool head. The transformation aside, releasing his magic power like this was a kind of leaking it outside, so Kai never used this type of technique. In fact, no one would use it unless they wanted to assert dominance over their enemy. And he felt this might be the time to use it to scare Rizou once again. He might even stop Rizou from evolving.

"Your magic power is still too low!" Kai's magic power started leaking out of his body before releasing an overbearing pressure to the surroundings.

Ayaka and the others wanted to help, but Michelle stopped them by raising her hand in their way. "This is his fight."

"Even so, I don't think there is any use to release his magic power, Michelle." Ayaka protested while observing Kai.

"Right. It can only send pressure to his enemy while the technique is draining his magic power. I feel that Kai wants to test something in this fight. Nonetheless, you shouldn't underestimate him too much. It's hard to create pressure with magic power alone because you need a huge difference in magic power before it shows the effect. However, do you know how much Kai's magic power is? You will see it right now!" Michelle smirked.

"This—!" Rizou was stunned when Kai released all of his magic power. His transformation slowed a little bit as if his blood was scared of this magic power. "No. I will kill you!"

*Roar!*

He roared to the sky and forced his blood to be active, transforming his entire body like a walking wolf, AKA werewolf.

Kai didn't miss that little detail. 'Did his blood get oppressed a little by my magic power? Does this mean magic power can influence the percentage of success for someone to be a Zodiac? I don't really support the Zodiac plan, but if this discovery can save a few people from turning into a monster, I will gladly offer the information. For now, I should kill him first before telling Teacher.'

Rizou suddenly leaped toward him and pounced his claws.

*Clang Clang Clang!*

From the head, body to feet, Kai defended every single attack from Rizou. He was quite surprised when he saw him not letting a single groan as if he didn't feel any pain despite his hands bleeding. They clashed almost ten times earlier, and Kai somehow was able to destroy all of his claws while injuring his hands.

Rizou glanced at his hands with blood flowing all the way down to the ground without saying anything.

'Does he lost his sanity?' Kai narrowed his eyes.

"Rah!" Rizou charged at him again, even without claws. Yet, a series of clashing metal sounds echoed.

*Clang Clang Clang!*

Feeling the pointless battle, Kai sighed and shook his head. 'He really lost it. Will I turn into a lion if I lose my sanity?'

Although he wanted to think more, Rizou already charged at him again, not caring about his wounds.

Kai responded to the best of his ability while observing Rizou's transformation. Sadly, he didn't find another clue for another three minutes and decided to end the battle.

"Close your ears!" He warned his teammates, changed his stance and snapped his finger. Ayaka and Michelle demonstrated to Isabelle's group and asked them to follow his order. "Lullaby."

*Ding!*

The disruptive sound wave reverberated in their ears despite having closed their ears.

"Kh!"

"What is this?! Lullaby? This is not a song for sleep."

Eve and Eva complained while Tommy bit his lips and endured the pain while observing Kai.

"You are a wolf, right? Then your hearing should also get enhanced. It won't be at my level, but that sound should hurt you." Kai smiled as he undid the magic circles on his ears.

"Argh!" Rizou roared while closing his ears with his hands.

Kai ran toward Rizou and kicked him on the stomach, blowing him a few meters away. He didn't stop there as he appeared right above Rizou and slashed both swords toward Rizou's neck.

Having regained his ability to move, Rizou ducked down to avoid Kai's attack. Kai saw this movement and changed his target without hesitation and slashed both of his hands.

"Argh!" The two hands fell down on the ground as Rizou screamed out of pain. He looked at Kai in horror before spinning his body and running away.

"!!!" Michelle narrowed her eyes and raised her swords before an arrow, and a bullet blew Rizou's legs away.

"Nice!" Michelle smiled and slashed her sword before Rizou's fell to the ground. "Shadow Slash!"

The dark shock wave ran through the ground and cut Rizou into two before shattering the Sound Insulation Room. Meanwhile, Tasha gave a thumb up to Isabelle. "Good job earlier."

"I was just matching your movement. Although I want to help the soldiers after this, it seems they have finished their mission without our support." Isabelle humbly said before glancing at their surroundings. She felt relieved as she didn't find a single magical beast in the town.

"Let's regroup with the others first." Tasha nodded.

Isabelle took both of her rifles and turned them into two bracelets. She then grabbed Tasha on the left and Evan on the right, flying to Kai.

Kai closed his eyes for a second before forcing himself to change his mood. He smiled at Michelle and the others. "We are done here. Take a picture of their body as proof. After that, burn their body and store their ashes. They are still our kin nonetheless."

No one complained, so Michelle took the picture before Eve, Eva, and Tasha burned their body. Tommy made three small ice boxes to store their ashes.

He then looked at Tasha and the others. "Nicholas, nice block! Isabelle also shot the enemies at the perfect timing. Meanwhile, Evan will start healing the injured soldiers after we come back. Is that alright?"

"Yeah." Evan nodded.

Kai then took out the map and marked them. "Eagle group will go according to this path while the Lion group is this way. I will wait here with Evan."

Michelle and the others nodded and split up.

"Why don't you go, Captain?" Evan asked while glancing at Kai's expression.

Kai sighed and looked at the map. "Nothing. I am just calculating the distance and direction to use Teleportation magic."

"Now that I think about it, you used Teleportation earlier, right? Wasn't that your sister's magic? Besides, what the heck with that magic power? I felt suppressed. Did you hide it this whole time?" Evan asked so many questions at the same time.

Kai smiled and scratched his head. "Well, you are my teammates for at least the next three years, so I think it will be fine to tell you about this. Basically, my sister's Space Magic is a kind of Sealing Magic. I was born with powerful magic power as you saw earlier, but I asked my sister to seal it inside her body due to the torture. Besides, she also had low magic power."

"I see. Two birds in one stone, is it?" Evan nodded and crossed his arms. "Is that also the reason she mainly uses her Lightning Magic instead of Sealing Magic?"

"No." Kai shook his head. "I can just say that her Sealing Magic is quite scary if she uses it properly. There was once an organization that wanted her Sealing Magic and attacked us. Luckily, they were not that strong, so we somehow annihilated that organization. From then on, she decided not to use that magic too much.

"I will give you a clue to one of her magic. What will you do if you trap air in a certain space, compress it, and have it exploded somewhere?"

"I see. That's scary. The trapped air will burst like an explosion. Coupled with her Space Magic, she could appear anywhere. However, it requires a huge amount of magic. I've looked into her profile and noticed no one wanted to adopt her due to her low magic power despite that powerful ability. I'm sorry for investigating you though. Really sorry. But I'm really curious why didn't you use that technique to fend the Katsuragi Family away?"

Kai sighed. "I won't talk about you investigating us. However, remember that I'm a pretty vengeful person. As for your question, they would target our parents if we used that, so I couldn't ask her."

"Don't worry. I know that." Evan nodded and didn't pursue his question further.

"Anyway, my magic power will stay in her body for as long as I want, so it's not like I want to hide it."

"I can somehow understand your pain. It's painful to have that extraordinary hearing since much information will go straight to your head at once, you also can hear whether the people around you are lying or not, and in the worst case, your family is…"

"You don't need to say it. My parents will never do that, and this is the reason why I love them so much." Kai smiled.

After another seven minutes, all soldiers and students came back.

"Sir. With your instructions, we have successfully avoided death. Only some of us are injured, but it can be taken care of later." Baran reported and saluted along with the rest of the soldiers.

"It's also due to your ability. Anyway, let us go back first." Kai nodded and snapped his finger, creating a huge magic circle under them. "Teleportation!"
