The Magician of Sound

With only Kai and Sofia remaining in this encirclement, Kai decided to step up his game, using all of his ability to the utmost limit.

And as one would expect, it was a disaster. He went around the field while wielding his sword, using the Sound Blast to enhance his speed to another level. This way, the magical beasts lost their lives before reaching Sofia.

Sofia also did everything she could to support Kai. She kept hitting all the magical beasts in the opposite direction while spinning in the clockwise direction.

Seeing this, Kai decided to let it flow smoothly as he swept everything in the same direction.

Five minutes had passed, but Kai's stamina started decreasing due to the fact that he had never gone to this length.

"Ha…" Kai panted while slashing a few magical beasts.

"You can rest for a minute," Sofia shouted. Considering Kai had killed more than two hundred magical beasts in only five minutes alone, it was already too insane, especially since he killed them with his sword instead of magic.

During this time, Ayaka and Tasha had been killing the two groups. Kai kept listening to their sound to know when he could stop, so Sofia's worry needed to be ignored.

"I can stop them for a moment, you know."

"Nope. It is not a good idea. They are going to spread around the area in that case."

Sofia narrowed her eyes and recreated a scene where she used the technique she wanted to use earlier. And it would create a fifty-fifty chance for them to move according to Kai's worst prediction. Although she had the confidence in controlling her power, Kai didn't want to take a risk, especially with their current predicament.

"I understand. We shouldn't endanger them…" said Sofia, a little bit sad. Kai must place far more importance on the three girls than her. 'It can't be helped…'

Kai noticed her expression and comforted her. "No. The reason why I don't want to take a risk is that they might incite more magical beasts in our surroundings."

Seeing that he became more considerate, she couldn't help but smile. "Thank you. It is fine."

Kai fell silent. That was certainly not a lie from him because he was afraid the beasts would return to their original position and alarmed the beasts that had yet to come. Michelle had been creating a gap as well, so Tasha would be required to teleport them away.

Unfortunately, Sofia misunderstood him. As much as he wanted to correct her, he had no time to deal with it.

He kept killing the magical beasts for another ten minutes until Tasha and Ayaka returned. They helped the two that had been holding on their own until there was not a single magical beast anymore in their surroundings.

After that, they regrouped with Michelle before returning to their own basecamp.

However, they met another problem because they still needed to have a reflection time.

"Apologies. That was my fault."

"I said it before. No one was at fault." Kai shook his head, helping her up. "We have been relying on our ability this whole time, but we have forgotten the fact that our abilities are limited as well."

"That's right. If you think that the fault lies in your ability, then it will also become our responsibility since we don't care about anything so long you say it is fine." Michelle nodded while bandaging the wounds on her body.

"I agree." Tasha and Ayaka nodded their heads simultaneously.

"So, don't think much about it." Kai smiled.

"Uhm." Sofia looked down and gave a slight nod. This might be her biggest mistake she had committed during her stay here, and the fact that Kai and the others forgave her just like that melted something in her heart.

At the very least, in this group, she could treat them as comrades, while outside the group, she would consider them rivals.

With Sofia finally starting opening up to them, the group spent the entire next day to recover their magic power. Unfortunately, they couldn't heal their wounds since Evan was away.

The group then began their operation again the following day and racked up some kill counts, especially for these two people, Tasha and Ayaka. They were neck in neck for winning this competition.

Eight days later.

"Yes! I win!" Tasha jumped and pumped her fist, couldn't contain her excitement.

Ayaka pouted and sat on the ground, looking away.

The difference between the two was only thirty points. This was certainly a small difference since they had killed around a few thousand magical beasts.

"Hehe…" Tasha made a peace symbol with her right hand.

"Well, I feel bad right now." Kai glanced at Ayaka while scratching his head.

"Fair enough. After all, Ayaka is the only one that can compete with me during this mission." Tasha nodded.

"Since Tasha allows her to win the second place, how about you take her for dinner or something? It won't be a full day, but I am sure that is enough." Michelle offered a solution.

"That is a good idea." Kai nodded and asked Ayaka for that.

"If that is the case, how about having dinner at my house? My parents seem to want to see you again… They couldn't visit you earlier because they were too busy with the house, company, and other things." Ayaka asked.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. They also have information regarding United Asia that they want to share with you." Ayaka nodded. "But since they have been ignoring that, I think it is not that big."

"Oi, oi. Don't set up a flag, will you?" Kai let out a long sigh.

"I did not!" Ayaka pouted.

"Anyway, I will visit your house at a later date. It's been a while since I visited both uncle and aunty, so I will surely have time for them." Kai nodded. They were his future in-law, so it would be best to meet them again before it became too late.

Ayaka nodded. "Alright. I will tell them about it."

"Sure." Kai then turned around, facing Tasha with a calm face. He clapped his hand and walked toward her, "So… What does the winner want for the reward?"

"I want you to spend time with mom and dad. We usually spent our summer vacation on a family trip, right? We have been too focused on ourselves and neglecting them this whole time, so I want to use this for a family trip." Tasha gently smiled.

Kai was shaken when he heard her request.

"This… To think it's been this way… I am sorry, but girls, I will extend it for three days." Kai looked at Michelle, Ayaka, and Sofia.

With the parents came into the picture, none of the girls raised an objection. No, they even thought three days were not enough and suggested to take a longer one. After all, they knew he loved them to the point he would sacrifice everything for them.

However, Kai only received the thought and rejected the idea. He thanked the girls and decided to close the mission, going back with the truck to report their status.

As soon as Brad received the report, he stared at the file in disbelief. To think a mere five people group could finish this mission in two weeks. This completely baffled him.

However, the group from the headquarter had nothing to say about this, so they must have really completed the mission without cheating.

As for how they could do that, the key must lie in Kai's leadership. Even he had learned about Kai's reputation in the base, so he could somehow imagine him commanding the group to move according to his plan.

In the end, he admitted defeat and let out a long sigh. He still put a stern face when he met him since he didn't want Kai to be too proud of his achievement lest he would make a mistake, but his tone had mellowed a bit.

Suppose he could maintain that when he met his son, Bryan would probably feel overjoyed. Unfortunately to them, he just couldn't do it.

After submitting the mission, he returned to their home. The first thing Kai did was asking his parents to have a family vacation. They never had one even though they started living here a year ago. Usually, they would go somewhere during the summer vacation, but Kai and Tasha were too busy to improve, so they wanted to redeem themselves by asking them to enjoy family time in Miami.

Their parents felt gratified and had no heart to reject them despite knowing how hard their lives had been going in school. These two were their greatest children. In fact, their mother had already approved their relationship not long after settling down here. Only their father had been adamant about it up until now.

Seeing this, Tasha finally passed the last hurdle. She locked herself up in her own room, unable to contain her excitement.

And the proof was there when everyone saw her having a black bag under her eyes. They only laughed it off while the father realized how his feelings had been stressing her. He decided to pull a little trick this time to make it up by asking them to be the event organizer.

Kai and Tasha approved that and sent the money to him, saying they didn't need to care about the amount they needed to pay for this vacation.

It seemed Ria Ross had been pulling the string in this matter too, because they got a special discount. Kai gave his thanks later, but more importantly, the family trip had been scheduled. It was going to be three days before the weather started getting too cold.

The next day, they met in school and headed to their usual room, but Kai suddenly felt something was wrong.

When he pushed the door, three gunshots were heard.

*Bang Bang Bang!*
