The Magician of Sound

The next day.

"We are back." Evan and Kai arrived at school and greeted the girls as they seemed to have agreed upon something, especially with that serious look on their faces.

When they saw these two guys, they immediately dragged Evan to another room.

Alex could hear them saying we needed to make a plan for the fight and so on, but when they discussed the real matter, they stopped talking. Kai could hear them typing something but had no idea what they were writing about, so there was no chance of him knowing their plan.

"It seems the girls are going for a big plan this time." Shirotsuka Sanae, who never bothered about their matters, finally opened her mouth.

"Oh?! I have almost forgotten you are here, Teacher."

"Oi! I am still your instructor, you know. Well, I haven't been instructing you in your missions, so I can't really say anything."

"It's fine. I believe the group can get stronger faster this way." Kai nodded. "Besides, you have been dealing with all the matter and equipment purchases for us, so we feel a bit bad."

"I can't really leech off you guys, so I need to work for my pay. Since practically, I have received a sixth of what all of you are making every single month. It's far more than what I have done, so at least, I should help you guys in any way." She shrugged.

"…" Kai looked at her with a weird expression, wondering if he heard it wrong.

"What?!" She found herself insulted when Kai put on an expression like this. He must be thinking something bad about her.

"Nothing. I am just impressed by the fact that you can say something like working."

"It's true that I don't hate free money, but I am not a leech." She gently hit his head. "Luckily, all of you don't have any grade problems. If you have one, I am sure you are going to be laughed off."

"Absolutely."

"No, no. Should I fail you right now?" She smirked as if she thought something brilliant. "I mean, there were many rich people in the past that dropped out of school, so I am thinking of creating one myself."

"…" Kai twitched his eyebrows.

"And it will surely become a juicy topic when they know that the soon to be general Kai Carter suddenly drops out of school because his grades are atrocious."

"No, no. I am sure that it will cover the news if we have the teacher of Kai Carter actually don't want to do anything, but still get a million dollars in a year." He grinned.

"Your mouth has evolved, huh."

"You too."

Both of them smirked before brushing the joke aside with a laugh.

"Anyway, what I want to tell you is that the girls are planning something big. Even I don't know what it is. Or do you want me to be your operator during the fight?" She smiled.

"That doesn't sound too bad. After all, I am at a big disadvantage in fighting them alone. Not only has Evan increased his attacking ability, but the others also have improved significantly. If I need to say… I would say that their chance to win is sixty percent."

"Oh?! Only sixty percent? You are pretty confident, aren't you?"

Kai shrugged. "Well, there is a huge chance that the environment they are going to use for our mock battle is something dark, either the night or inside a building. This will boost Michelle's overall strength since she will be the one holding me down.

"With the addition of Evan as a mid-range attacker, their position will be 2-2-1. Michelle and Ayaka will be the vanguards, while behind them are Evan and Sofia. If needed, Evan can go back to help Tasha on the very back, while Sofia can also launch a surprise attack by moving up.

"That will be a solid plan… At least, for me." Kai nodded before he felt something was amiss.

"That is your conclusion when you believe that the place will be something that gives Michelle advantages, right?"

"…" Kai fell silent as he realized that there would be many plans they could use in case they didn't pick a dark one. At the same time, their visions wouldn't be limited. Even with night vision, he believed that the other girls would have trouble fighting in the dark. "Interesting."

"Do you want me to be your navigator?"

"Yes, I hope you can help me in the fight… Because I believe the chance of them winning this time is around seventy percent instead." Kai pinched the bridge of his nose as he stumbled across something interesting.

"This fight will be very different from any other fights you have, especially ones with magical beasts. They have the luxury to create a situation they prefer because of your arrogance. Why do you think it's a wise idea to give them the luxury to choose the area?"

"Ahaha… I just wanted to give them the freedom to choose the battlefield, so they could create a concise plan, allowing them to go even further in this field. I hope in the future they could still make a similar plan even without me around them." Kai smiled, genuinely explaining his thoughts.

"Since you have a reason, I won't say anything. Rather than that, I have a concern about what you will do in your third year. You know that you are going to be in a four-person team, right?"

"Yes. With Sofia returning to her country and Tasha graduates, there will only be Michelle, Ayaka, and Evan left. And the fact that I have to leave in the first three months where we need to adjust our positions with the new members… Make me feel like stupid." He let out a long sigh.

"Don't worry about them. I might participate in a mission to move my body a little bit during that time." Sanae smiled, assuring that nothing would happen to them when he left for three months.

"Thank you, Teacher." Kai bowed politely, showing his gratitude.

"It's fine. The problem is the remaining nine months. Are you going to have a new member? Or just stay in this situation?"

"I will probably go with a four-man team until graduation. After that, I will go wherever Tasha is stationed and raise my rank there."

"Since you have a clear picture of your plan, I don't need to worry then. Well, I will surely get a huge cut if I supervise other than your group."

"You should start investing your money instead of splurging them in wine."

"I can't help it. Don't worry. I have been saving most of them."

"By the way, Teacher, I might be going back to United Asia after graduation. Do you want to follow me?"

"Are you going to fight the Katsuragi Family or staying there peacefully?" Sanae looked at him with a serious expression before letting out a long sigh. "Never mind. I will go with you this time. I have a grudge against them as well."

"I will contact you about the details… Maybe a year later."

"Sure."

A soon as he nodded, he found a message coming into his inbox, so he immediately opened it and read it.

'I have gotten and read through your report regarding this incident. This is something unprecedented because no one is able to train magical beasts. However, it doesn't mean that the magical beasts can't be trained.

'In fact, if you are considering police dogs or any other smart animals, you will realize that it's possible to train them. And according to the research that I have been reading, their brain is actually more developed than back when they were just a mere animal.

'However, if you are living back where people don't even know how to converse, you will realize that they are utter fools. They will slowly learn the words, efficient ways to fight, and other things… But this will only happen far in the future.

'The problem is there is someone (possibly the protectors) who trains and increases their growth rate. This is a major problem for us because we might find a beast talking in a human voice in a few years.

'And if the protectors are doing this in masses, they might be capable of creating an army that can lead thousands of magical beasts themselves to attack the base in an organized way. This is my current concern.

'The possibility is there, and the catalyst happens to increase it. And I believe if we don't solve this as soon as possible, humanity will face another big crisis like what we experienced during the apocalypse.

'All in all, I will cooperate with the government regarding this. Probably, the scientists that have gotten closer to the truth are those who are on Easter Island. Due to the fact that they are dealing with magical things, I believe they will have some knowledge. And the government is currently researching magical places like Eastern Island. Either way, those people will probably return in a week or so, and the investigation will start.

'Don't worry. Our training time won't be interrupted. Love you, my disciple.'

"…" Kai fell silent when he read the last sentence. Even with the world crisis, she didn't care as long as she could mess with him.

"How should I say this? Congratulations?! I mean, your teacher loves you so much."

"Love me so much that she can't wait to kill me a few more thousand times? That kind of love is too heavy…" Kai let out a long sigh.

"Haha… That's your problem. In any case, I will be helping you during your mock battle in a few days." Shirotsuka Sanae then returned to her work and let out an aura that told him not to disturb her.

Kai could only sulk alone and decided to read some research papers for his new magic.
