The Magician of Sound

"Thank you for the fight."

The students couldn't believe that it just stopped there even though the fight would start getting interesting.

Some of them actually understood their fight a bit, especially with how their moves differed from their expectations. Some people actually questioned why they would make such a movement and when they arrived at the answer, they couldn't help but feel shocked.

Nonetheless, the fight was pretty great and almost all students enjoyed it.

Kai and Arnaud shook hands, showing that the fight had ended.

"I need to go back to my office and finish all my work since I need to prepare for a long trip this month."

"Ahaha…" Kai chuckled and nodded. "Then, I will need to go around the school first to learn more about the school."

"Haha, sure you do. Anyway, I'm going." Arnaud turned around, grabbed his suit, and left the school.

After the fight, since it took all the attention to this field, Roselyn asked him to leave with her, to which he agreed.

Sofia followed suit while Jules dispersed the students.

As soon as they escaped from the crowd, Kai took out his device and called his teacher through a secret channel. "Teacher. Can you make a pair of gloves and shoes for me with the same material as my swords?"

"For what?"

"Combat."

"Glove is not possible right now as it's hard to make that metal flexible. The only thing I can make for you is the shoes."

"I understand. That's enough."

"Do you need me to send them there?"

"If possible."

"Alright. I will work on it. It should arrive within seven days. Give me the details and other things to me later, so I can start working on it."

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher."

"No problem. Just one "I love you, Teacher" is enough for the payment."

"Ahaha, yes, yes. I truly love you, Teacher. Thank you." Kai chuckled.

"Got it. Now all you need is to wait."

Kai nodded and put it back in his pocket before finding a weird expression on Roselyn and Sofia's faces.

"What?" Kai tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what was inside their heads.

"Do you have an illicit relationship with your teacher?"

"No. She is like my parents.  Well, I have once mentioned her being my godparent to my own parents, but I haven't conveyed it to her yet."

"Did they agree?"

"They have no reason to not agree." Kai shrugged. "I have told my past to them and how I met my teacher, so they are understanding."

"…" The two looked at each other with a dumbfounded expression, wondering what they should do with this information.

"I don't mind if you tell the others since it will reach her ears at some point, but I hope that you two can keep it a secret for the time being," said Kai nonchalantly.

"Well, I don't mind." Sofia was the first to answer, considering that his status became even higher if Ria Ross truly became his godparent as well as his teacher.

Roselyn, on the contrary, needed to think about it because this information would cause a huge reaction to the higher-ups.

Since Kai's expedition might result in something big, she would just wait until the grand prize was revealed. If it were too big, she didn't need to tell this information to her superior. She wouldn't offend Kai too.

After contemplating for one minute, she nodded. "I understand. I shall keep it secret for the time being."

Kai nodded and turned around. "And all that's left is for me to explore this school and try to learn anything in this school while waiting for the expedition. Oh, right, can you tell Sir Arnaud to postpone the expedition for a week, Roselyn?"

"Do you mind we are going in a week?"

"Yes."

"I can relay it to him, but I don't know his reaction, considering that he needs to reschedule his plan."

"Ahaha, isn't it fine to have more preparation?" Kai answered her question with an assurance that would make Arnaud think for a while.

"I understand. Let me inform him." Roselyn took out her device and called Arnaud. The conversation lasted for three minutes before Roselyn could say, "It's fine."

Kai nodded and thanked her. "Alright. Time to go."

After that fight, Kai then did whatever he wanted in the school since there weren't many things to deal with.

Since the expedition was postponed, Kai decided to go sightseeing. Obviously, Sofia became his companion, only to find Roselyn getting between them because it was her job.

Anyway, Kai didn't care much about it since he didn't plan to do anything in the EU Base. Kai went from one place to another, looking at the city, citizens, and even some small details, wondering if they had something good in his eyes.

He even visited some shops to eat or even buy weapons. He truly wanted to see all kinds of things that this place could offer.

Although they ended up going around for two days straight, Sofia was pretty happy about it, thinking it was their date. Of course, because of the prank she pulled on Roselyn, she didn't tease her anymore, feeling bad about it.

No matter how she worded it, Roselyn only acted that way because of her job and the order from above. Feeling uncomfortable the longer she thought about it, she decided to apologize to her.

Roselyn understood her intention as well, knowing she just wanted time alone with Kai. She only said to not mind it before she apologized to Sofia since she couldn't do anything about the order.

After acknowledging each other, Sofia became closer to Roselyn and joked around her. Kai didn't care much about it as long as they got along. He worried that their rivalry would end up making them unable to fight together in the expedition.

Seeing them like this just made his heart feel relieved.

However, Kai ended up staying until late to see everything France could offer during the last two days.

Five days later, Kai finally got the package from his master, containing the new shoes he wanted. The shoes themselves were plain white and had no decorations or logo. Despite having filled it with some soft cotton, the shoes were a bit too stiff considering it was made of metal.

Kai ended up using the last two days to get used to the current box. Obviously, Sofia and Roselyn were watching his training. Sofia could find something was wrong with his shoes, while Roselyn didn't notice it.

Finally, after two days of self-training, the day of the mission arrived. Kai brought a bag of spices and a tent for the expedition. Jules brought all the necessities for bathing and such. Arnaud brought all their clothes while the girls brought their own stuff.

According to Kai, this journey would be dangerous to the point they couldn't even use a car or something since the terrain wouldn't be that good.

After agreeing to the condition, the military then sent them to the front line for a ride before they needed to continue the journey on foot.

…

Meanwhile, in the US base, specifically in Room 420. Michelle received Kai's email and read it.

"Is it Kai?" Ayaka asked with a poker face.

"Yep." Michelle nodded before finding Ayaka sitting next to her to read it together. She didn't mind, but they later found many pictures of him and Sofia… and Roselyn. "What? There are so many pictures with her? Who is she? Is she a potential wife again?

"I'm going to teach him a lesson after promising us to not do something behind our backs." Michelle gritted her teeth and started typing back. "Are you not angry, Ayaka?"

She furrowed her eyebrows when she saw Ayaka maintaining her poker face as if she didn't feel anything after reading the message and just playing with her device.

"I am not angry as long as he is telling us about it. What did he say about her again?"

"She is the agent the Union sent to watch him and seduce him."

"Then, that's all. You should know that seducing is the impossible way to get him. And even Sofia needed a long time to even be recognized, so tell me the reason for me to get angry…" She smiled and continued playing with her device.

Michelle widened her eyes, never expecting to hear such an answer from her. She thought for a moment and realized that she was pretty childish.

Then she looked at Ayaka, becoming curious about what she was doing all this time and peeked at her device.

In that instant, she widened her eyes and gasped. It was just an email. But that email was a report about what Kai did and the recipient was none other than Tasha.

"You are angry, aren't you?" Michelle made a weird smile.

"Not at all." She chuckled.
