The Magician of Sound

One week had passed since Kai and the girls arrived here. After the first day, they stepped up their game and challenged a more dangerous place that wasn't far from them.

And as expected, they kept moving the truck since it was their base.

Tasha still held the highest kill count even though Ayaka had used her magic bomb to kill many magical beasts. Ayaka's approach was to let out a single magic bomb to gather every monster in the area and kill them with a few magic bombs that she planted around it.

Even so, she still couldn't surpass Tasha as she compressed air by using her Sealing Magic. The moment the seal was opened, the air burst out and created an explosion. This way, Tasha could kill faster and more effectively than Ayaka.

However, Kai noticed that the gap between the two was not that much, so Ayaka still had the chance.

Kai was third in this competition. He only did whatever he could in this competition. Whether he would win or not, it wasn't his problem. After all, it was not like he hated to give the reward to the winner.

And because the three positions were very solid, Michelle had given up a long time ago and simply did it to fulfill her quota. After that, she would ask Kai to spoil her during the rest.

Sofia, on the other hand, didn't do anything special during this period. She might have the ability to win, but she seemed to have another thought and decided not to fight in this competition.

Kai obviously didn't know the reason behind it, and he didn't have any intention of seeking the answer. He simply acted like nothing happened.

However, Sofia somehow started opening up with him as she often asked Kai for a talk, from some idle topics to serious ones. He didn't reject her of course.

And Michelle didn't openly oppose her since Sofia didn't seem to bring a bad intention in her action like how she usually seduced him. She even began wondering when was the last time Sofia acted like that.

Nonetheless, the group seemed to have gotten pretty busy during this week because they were killing like crazy. This week alone, they somehow managed to get two thousand two hundred points. It would be possible to finish the mission within ten days, but none of them thought it would be easy.

They set the time limit to fourteen days because they had noticed the decrease of monsters in their area. There were many more magical beasts deeper into the Yukon Territory, but they chose not to get carried away and killed those they hadn't in the surroundings.

This lowered the speed of the group, but it was the most reasonable one. After having their lunch, Kai and the others were resting in their camp while chatting about some idle topics until Michelle suddenly brought an important one.

"Now that we have been here for a week, I believe those two should have arrived at their destination, right?" Michelle asked while looking at the sky.

Kai nodded. "Yes."

"Well, Evan has undergone a transformation due to the training with me, so he at least has the power to fend off a few magical beasts with his hands alone." Kai nodded.

"He also has the exoskeleton, right?"

"Yeah. He should have gotten it a few days ago. With that, I believe he can protect Isabelle well while she is killing the magical beasts."

"Still, I am a bit worried about them. Even though Evan has gotten stronger, it still doesn't change the fact that his ability is still a bit low."

"Michelle… The low in your eyes now is like someone who can defeat a B rank without much problem right now." Kai rolled his eyes.

"Hehe… My bad." Michelle stuck her tongue out.

"But… What if… What if they are in trouble?" Ayaka asked. It seemed she was also worried about Evan and Isabelle. Maybe it was due to how long they had been cooperating with each other. He bet she didn't think anything unpleasant anymore, including how she challenged their group into a group fight in the past.

After all, Isabelle and Evan finally became true to themselves. The raging fire inside her that made her keep doing something reckless had calmed down as she acted only after considering everything. Evan was also the same.

Kai still could remember how determined he was when training with him. As a man, he wanted to carry the responsibility of protecting his loved one, and Kai believed Evan would even put his life on the line just to save Isabelle. That was why he wasn't worried right now.

"Anyway, I have given Evan the most important strategy if he indeed met the worst situation possible." Kai waved his hand, telling them it was fine.

"The most important strategy?" Michelle and the others widened their eyes, wondering what kind of strategy Kai gave. After all, this was coming from the genius of warfare himself, so it must be something special.

However, much to their expectation, Kai only stuck his tongue and said playfully. "Running away of course. What do you want me to suggest except this? If you can't defeat them, then run away until you can."

"…" The girls facepalmed. They never expected that Kai would play them like this.

Tasha nodded in agreement before adding, "Well, I think that is the best strategy one could think of. I have seen the documents of their mission and realized that they are stationed in the middle out of nowhere. The nearest soldier group is around fifty kilometers from them.

"And if I were them, I shall teleport you all to that place. In this case, Isabelle will be carrying Evan to the group. With her flying speed, I think they will arrive within ten to fifteen minutes."

"Yes. From what I have seen, Isabelle has enough control to fly while shooting. Even carrying Evan wouldn't be much of a problem I guess. That way, she could shoot the enemy down while running away." Kai explained.

"I see." The girls finally bought Kai's argument as they looked at each other, wondering what they would do if they had the same mission as them. However, it was pointless to think about it right now as they were better to stay their head in their own mission.

"Anyway, if we are going to continue talking like this, it's best to do it at night." Kai stopped them before glancing in the northwest direction. "We still have jobs to do."

The girls nodded and followed him in that direction, exterminating more and more magical beasts.

Little did they know that Evan was experiencing a situation where he could only run away.

In Quebec, the two that the group was talking about seemed to be not in good condition.

The young man was carrying the young girl on his back while covering her with his water bubble. Blood covered the girl's head as she was trying hard to maintain her consciousness.

"Just hang on. My magic should be able to heal you within three minutes for the first aid. You should have no problem with your head anymore," said the man while avoiding all kinds of obstacles.

The woman gripped a bit tighter to respond to his words, telling him that she was fine.

"Yes, yes. Just you wait… When you recover, let's beat them, okay?" He smiled, thinking it would be fine to destroy them completely after this.

*Roar Roar!*

The magical beasts that were chasing them roared as they slowly reduced the distance between them.

Evan took a glance on his back and sighed before noticing a magical beast coming from his right. It was a lion.

He looked at the incoming claw of the lion before leaping to the air to avoid it. Because of this, the distance between Evan and the horde of magical beasts shrunk even more.

Evan gritted his teeth and ran as hard as he could, trying to maintain if not larger the distance.

Isabelle was too injured to do anything, so he needed to solve this himself.

*Cry!*

A loud cry from an eagle suddenly filled the entire area as it dove to the ground, trying to hit Evan. The latter stomped the ground and stepped on the eagle's head before launching himself to the sky.

If it were him a few months ago, he might not be able to do something like this. Luckily, the relentless training with Kai finally paid off.

Because of the eagle earlier, some of the magical beasts actually hit the eagle as it was in their way. Although he couldn't see it, listening to the eagle's cry already gave him the visualization of what happened when an eagle got run by magical beasts.

After he just passed the eagle, another problem appeared from his left. It was a monkey that was trying to tackle him.

Evan leaped and kicked the monkey mid-air, but the monkey was a bit faster than he expected, resulting in him getting thrown off balance after the monkey tapped his right foot.

"Kh!" Evan gritted his teeth and used his water bubble to carry Isabelle in the air, so he could roll on the ground and stand back on his feet. What made him a surprise was the fact that he felt a wind brushing his body, helping the rolling and standing back process much easier and smoother.

He looked up and saw Isabelle's smiling before letting her down again and carrying her on his back.

As much as he wanted to thank her, the situation didn't allow him to relax because the magical beasts were still chasing them.

"How could this happen…" He sighed.
