The Magician of Sound

"Dammit, dammit! Those crazy people just wouldn't let us through!" Katsuragi Akagi was angered by the fact that Kai and Tasha Carter, as well as the core members of Kudo Group, managed to escape. "Immediately search for their location. We need to kill them no matter what!"

His subordinates didn't dare to say anything about it as they proceeded with their investigation.

The next day, they reported that they found them in Tottori. He immediately moved his entire forces there. He also ordered the people from the Katsuragi family who were fighting in China's border to be prepared for their group in case they managed to escape. Sadly, Kai's group managed to outsmart them.

…

After settling all the people down, Kai and the others were escaping toward Chugoku Region. Kudo Yoshihiro received information that the Katsuragi family and Ikeda family were hunting down the people who were working for the Kudo family, and they were still searching for them.

It seemed that they knew his group would go to the US base by teleportation, so they also stationed their men there. If they managed to pass their barrier, then those people wouldn't be able to kill their group.

There might be two possible scenarios for Kai and the others. First, they could go to the south to seek asylum, but they might be treated like slaves. After all, Tasha Carter's identity as an S-rank magician was worth so much. It might not only be her, but the Kudos might also be poorly treated there and might even demand their research, so Kai and Yoshihiro agreed not to go there.

The other scenario was settling down around the south and waiting for this storm to pass. Even so, the people from the Katsuragi family might be able to track them down, so it wasn't an option either.

All of them had decided that they would go to the US base with Kai's teleportation. Because of their number, Kai could only teleport a short distance away. That was why after they managed to escape from their pursuers, Kai and the others immediately made their way toward Tottori in Chugoku Region and teleported to South Korea.

It took them almost the entire day. Ayaka had also woken up. Although she made quite a fuss, after seeing her father and mother together, she sobered up. With this, they would have five fighters in their group, the Kudos, Becca, and Tasha. Kai was only responsible for teleporting them while his parents were taking care of the whole group, including the injured Shirotsuka Sanae.

After arriving at the shore in Tottori, they stopped at a small restaurant to eat and stock up some things for the journey.

Kai explained the whole plan again. Since Ayaka often told stories about Kai in the family, they knew Kai had a good brain and made good plans.

"We're going toward Uelen in Russia. It should be the closest area to Alaska. This way, I can teleport all of us to Alaska. However, we might encounter an S-rank magical beast there. If I'm not mistaken, it's around the shore…" Kai said.

"If you're talking about the Snake God, then yes." Yoshihiro nodded. The Snake God was one of the S-rank magical beasts in the world. With a length of almost one kilometer, it was one of the biggest magical beasts in the world.

If they were to encounter that beast, the only option was to run.

"That said, even if we go deeper, we would be surrounded by magical beasts. What should we do…" Kai sighed.

"We can see that huge snake from the satellite, so it shouldn't be a problem. If needed, we can save your teleportation ability and use it to get past the snake," Yoshihiro said. "We can take turns in killing the magical beasts. My wife and I can go first, while Becca, Ayaka, and Tasha Carter can go next. That way, we can continuously fight the magical beasts.

"As for you, I think you need to save your teleportation ability. First of all, we will need it to escape the pursuit of the soldiers that are stationed at China's border. And we also need some reassurances in case we are overwhelmed by the magical beasts.

"Ultimately, we will need your power to cross the ocean and go to Alaska. That's why we're going toward them by flying. However, the only one who can fly is me, Ayaka, and the unconscious teacher over there." Yoshihiro sighed.

"Ah, I can make a small air balloon for us. As long as I have a piece of fabric big enough for it, I can turn it into a balloon. My magic can reinforce the fabric and make it flexible. Ah, I bought a huge fabric. I can also turn fabric into a shield, but it won't be strong enough to block a single attack, so all I can do is this," James Carter said, ashamed.

All of them immediately understood the reason he bought a big fabric scroll with him.

"That's good. We can make an artificial air balloon to carry us to Uelen. This way, we can arrive at Uelen in less than two days," Yoshihiro said. "I'll generate the wind while Ayaka will use her fire to boost our speed."

Ayaka nodded.

"This will be a dangerous journey, but it's still better than staying in this place," Kai said.

"Indeed. I'll try to make a platform for us.l," James said.

"We will-!" Everyone wanted to help, but Kai didn't give them a chance.

Kai clasped his hands. He used teleportation magic and disappeared from the place. Because all his magic power came back to his body, his hearing was enhanced once again. He could hear the Katsuragi family and Ikeda family from almost ten kilometers away, so he decided to escape before they could restrict their space magic again.

They knew Kai's position from the cameras around the town. They had prepared everything. They even hacked into the security system. Unfortunately, they were no match against Kai's hearing.

…

A moment later, all of them appeared in the South Korea region. They didn't know their exact location, but it should be an abandoned city. Kai suddenly dropped to the ground while panting. It was really taxing for him to use that teleportation magic.

"Kai!" James Carter and Ayaka Carter immediately helped him up. Ayaka and Tasha wanted to check on him, but they refrained themselves as they immediately checked their surroundings.

They needed to make sure there were no monsters that would attack them. It was at this time that Kai said, "No need to worry. There's only a small group of magical beasts a few hundred meters away. They're not really that strong, so we can rest here first."

All of them looked at Kai, feeling a bit guilty for not doing anything. James Carter immediately said, "I'll make the balloon now. I just need to shape the fabric and attach it to the platform."

"I'll try to find a wood plank that can hold all of us," Kudo Yoshihiro said.

All of them immediately went to do their own thing. The father duo was doing their own duties and helping each other. Tasha, Ayaka, and Becca were discussing their battle plan with Kudo Chiyo. As for Ayaka Carter, she was taking care of Shirotsuka Sanae. Meanwhile, Kai was busy trying to restore his magic power as soon as possible.

After around an hour or so, all of them finished with their own thing. It was at this time that Kudo Yoshihiro gave an unusual suggestion.

"I have another idea. How about we steal a military chopper? Although we can't go all the way to Uelen, we should be able to cut half of the distance in a few hours."

"How about getting the fuel too?" Kai was astonished by his idea and asked.

"That'll be a bit troublesome. All the magic cores that fuel them are heavily guarded." Kudo Yoshihiro shook his head.

"I'm not that good at this teleportation thing, but if I give it back to Sister, maybe you can grab a few magic cores?" Kai turned his head to Tasha.

"Hmm… I can." Tasha nodded.

"That would be great. According to the map, we're around Jeonju, while the military base is in Seoul. We will use this artificial air balloon to transport us there. I have some connections with the military, so I'll try to trick them." Yoshihiro nodded. He didn't care about the army anymore since Kudo Group was no more in United Asia.

All of them nodded, agreeing with the plan. At this point, they didn't care anymore since they were going to the US base and were going to settle there.

After attaching the fabric to the wooden plate, all of them immediately got in. Yoshihiro then used his wind magic to blow the fabric upward while Ayaka used her fire magic to boost their speed.

Since the region was almost cleared by the army, they could enjoy the scenery. The journey was peaceful. There were a few flying beasts that came their way, and they were quickly butchered by Tasha's arrow. All in all, it was quite a peaceful journey.

Ayaka had moved on from the death of her grandfather. At first, she looked like she was holding it back and made the others worry, so after some time, she accepted it with all her heart. She was very eager to come to the US base and get stronger so she could avenge her grandfather.
