The Magician of Sound

One month later, Inside room 420.

Michelle walked to Kai, who was busy with his research, and put the coffee she just made in front of his table.

Kai looked up and smiled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Michelle smiled. "Why don't you rest first?"

In the past month, they didn't have many things to do after finishing their mission. Kai was doing his research for this past month because the thing that Cain did inspire him.

He thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure. Do you want to talk about something?"

"Actually, Grandfather came to me this morning and handed me a document for you." Michelle took out a brown envelope and gave it to him.

"What is this for? Why would Sir Nathan give it to you first?"

"I don't know. This is your matter, so I didn't peek inside. Grandfather also didn't tell me anything." Michelle shrugged.

Kai looked at Michelle for a moment before glancing at the others. They seemed to have a slight interest in this document, so he decided to open it.

Inside the brown envelope was a blue notebook. The cover was only a plain blue without any drawing, so Kai opened the page immediately. The first he saw was a photo of a woman with white hair. This photo was full-body, letting Kai see her long white wavy hair, a brown dress that reached her knees, and her developed body.

"Why does this person here?!" Michelle put her hand in her mouth and gasped.

This action instantly piqued the interest of the others.

"Do you know this person?" Kai asked.

"Of course, I know. Do you remember that there were two other Zodiacs outside the school?"

"I see. She must be the Gemini. And her name is…" Kai looked at her name in the photo. "Sofia Campbell."

"You are correct. She is the Gemini from the other base, EU Base." She nodded and furrowed her eyebrows. "Why would Grandfather give you this?"

 Kai hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to answer, his device rang. It was a call from Nathan.

"Haha! I'm sure you have received my package! Before you say anything, look at the Television! She is in the news right now."

'It's coming.' Kai twitched his eyebrows and sighed. He looked at Michelle and said, "If you want to know, turn on the television."

Michelle was bewildered but still turned on the Television.

"We are currently with Sofia Campbell. I'm sure that we are curious about the statement of the Council about you going to the US Base. May I know for what reason you want to come to the US Base?"

The white hair girl smiled brightly. "You know that we have a partnership with US Base, right? I am coming there as the Council's representative to oversee this partnership. However, I can't tell you anything about the details of this partnership."

"I see. This is certainly surprising. I have been following you in the news and thinking that you have no interest in this partnership, but it seems I was wrong."

"Haha! This partnership will benefit both of our Bases, so how can I not be interested? Though I admit that there is someone that piqued my interest in the US Base." She smirked.

"Hoh! To think there is someone like that in the US Base? I wonder who this someone is… Wait, I think I know who this person is…"

"Haha… I think almost everyone in the world actually knows this person. He even managed to make the Government bend their rule for him, so tell me, can I sit still after learning his existence not long ago?"

"As expected, It's Kai Carter. Does Miss Sofia want to meet this gentleman?"

"Fufu… I think there is no need to hide this. Actually, the US Base has given us the representative name not long ago. And yeah, their representative is him."

"Does this mean that the US Base has taken the initiative for this? And what would you do if you meet this gentleman?"

"I don't know what I will do. Firstly, this is only a partnership, so I can't really do anything. Though I want to see which one of us is stronger." She smiled at the camera.

"This… This is—!" Before the presenter said another word, the television was turned off by Michelle. She clenched the remote as her expression turned dark. "Who does she think she is?!"

Kai glanced at her and sighed. "It has been decided long ago. Teacher had warned of this possibility even before I got the promotion."

"Who is that person?" Tasha looked at Michelle's annoyed expression and furrowed her eyebrows.

Michelle was not in the mood to answer her, so Evan decided to tell them. "A zodiac! The second and only daughter of the Campbell Family, Sofia Campbell. She was originally an Ice Element user who gained the ability to mimic someone's face and body. However, she lost most of her strength due to the backlash of the blood. But that doesn't matter because the EU Base has—"

"Exoskeleton!" Kai narrowed his eyes.

Evan nodded. "Initially, she could only shoot her enemies down with her Ice Element, but everything changed when she equipped the Exoskeleton. This outfit gave her strength while she could maintain her magic attack. She is one of the top talents in EU Base, just like how Kai and Isabelle had an impact on this base."

"By the way, you are talking about talent, but who are the others in this base?" Kai asked, thinking he needed to know.

"Well, I don't know if you know them, but the new ranking is you, Michelle, Isabelle, and Louis Spencer. I think Tasha and Ayaka only need some recognition before they are classified as one, especially Tasha."

"You are not on the list?" Kai was surprised that Evan wasn't on the list. Although his healing ability didn't have any strength, it was still a ridiculous power.

"He is on the list. However, his ability makes the others confused whether they need to put him in the same list or another list, so he is like a shadow member in the top talent list." Michelle had calmed down and answered Kai.

"Oh!" Kai nodded.

"Anyway, may I know the details about this representative thing?" Evan asked Kai carefully.

"First of all, my teacher had predicted this would happen, so she warned me first. As for the Partnership… I don't think I can tell you guys for now, but she is lying." Kai answered without a change of expression.

"Lying?" Michelle narrowed her eyes.

"Yeah. The one that suggested the change of representative was their side. It must come from her personally. Teacher said it was impossible for the Campbell Family to let her go unless she herself wanted to go." Kai nodded before blaming that Sofia. "In any case, I just want to point out that I don't have anything to do with this."

"Hmm…" Tasha crossed her arms. "She is dangerous, especially her mimicking ability. Isn't it easy for her to transform into us?"

"Don't worry. She can't copy a Zodiac, so Kai and Ayaka were safe. As for Evan, you have met her once, right?" Michelle glanced at Evan.

"We had met her once when they gathered all Zodiacs in this place. It was last year. To be honest, I couldn't grasp her personality. Unlike Captain's calm and reasonable personality or your collected and obsessed character, I can't tell a single thing from her. It was like she acted with her instinct." Evan thought for a moment.

"Indeed. She was always moving according to her heart. However, her brain was also another thing because she would plan something crazy if she determined to do something. This might be the reason why the Campbell Family decided to let her go." Michelle nodded in agreement.

"I just want to warn you to be wary about her. She is a monster that is equipped with strength and wisdom that act unpredictably due to her instinct." Evan looked at Kai with a solemn face.

"I will be careful. I should be able to recognize if she is impersonating someone I know, but it will be different if it's a stranger. However, I think I can remember her as long as I see the real her once." Kai nodded.

"Well, that's that. We need to have an emergency meeting." Michelle narrowed her eyes before glancing at Ayaka and Tasha. "Girls. This is a dangerous situation for us."

Ayaka and Tasha quickly realized what she wanted to talk about and followed her to another table. Kai and Evan were speechless by their actions.

On the other hand, the three girls had solemn looks. Michelle said, "This is going to be troublesome. We already have four of us if we include Sakura… I mean, Yajima Haruko. If she also wants to have him, we will fight."

"But there is no saying that she is attracted to him like that." Tasha shook her head. "Maybe it's only his strength or prestige. Maybe it's like what she said. She is only interested in Kai personally and wants to learn why US Base made an exception for Kai."

"There is another flaw in that argument." Ayaka shook her head. "Many people surely want Kai to the point they want to bring him over to their side. I believe her objective is to satisfy her curiosity while bringing him over. If we are still here with Kai, she won't be able to seduce him. However, what if she invites Kai to EU Base, and…"

Ayaka didn't finish, but everyone could understand what she meant. Michelle nodded and said, "Your transformation is really scary… To think you have matured up to this point. I am glad that I didn't kill you back then."

Ayaka twitched her eyebrows, remembering the night where Michelle infiltrated her house. "Ahaha…"

"Anyway, we should watch out for her. So, here is the plan…"

The three girls continued with their discussion while the guys ignored them and continued their job.
