The Magician of Sound

Outside,

Diego screamed, "This… This… I want to say it is dirty but I can't. Even Isabelle herself has recognized that she lost and Kai has forced her to fly to win. As a Sound Magician, he would not be able to reach her.

"Argh. Even though I should be neutral, I can't say this is fair to him. Unfortunately, I can't say anything as in the outside world, something like this easily happens and there is no trick or whatsoever. There is only a winner and a loser with life at stake.

"We might be able to say that in this situation, Isabelle might lose the battle but win the war. However, there is one thing that I find confusing… Isabelle's Plasma Wind is famous throughout our school and I am sure when one meets this attack, they could only dodge it, not block it or deflect it like him. The neutral magic shield should not be that powerful…"

As for this, she also did not know as Michelle never really talked about Kai's power. She answered, "Well, as you might already know. Neutral Magic is something that anyone can use and this Neutral Magic Shield is coming from a concentrated Magic power that strengthens the air around us, creating a shield that is capable of blocking any basic elements.

"Different from that Neutral Magic Shield, we usually infuse our own element to get a stronger shield. As for the details, I think I should not explain it to you as you should have learned it in class. From my observation, Kai's Magic Shield is infused with his Sound Element. If you ask what is the concept or how he could do it? Don't ask me, I also don't know about it." She shrugged.

"This is really intriguing. Though I want to keep looking at him, with how the thing escalates, we should check the other battlefield too. I am sure each fighter has their own interesting fight so that we will take a look at the replay." Diego decided to change the topic.

…

In the Village,

Michelle swung her sword toward the twins. By using the houses in the village, she had been preventing Isabelle from hitting her. Even if she knew Kai would take all of her attention, she would still take a precaution. And she had restricted most of her power by doing this, making her at a disadvantage.

Though the twins could not get the upper hand, she also could not defeat the twins, buying enough time for Isabelle to finish Kai. Besides, she could not use Moonlight Shadow and Doll because the time was set at day.

If she used her Shadow Slash blindly, she would just create a perfect path for Isabelle. Ultimately, like how the twins believed Isabelle would defeat Kai, she also believed Kai would come to defeat her so that she could use her full strength.

For the time being, she decided to buy time until Kai defeated them… or so she thought until she got a message from Shirotsuka Sanae.

"You need to finish your battle as soon as possible. Isabelle almost killed him."

"..." This message startled her as she could not believe the message. This was Shirotsuka Sanae's information when she saw Isabelle using two snipers.

"She is using some kind of trickery. Anyway, just finish your battle."

"Okay." Even though she said 'Okay,' she was still thinking about what she should do to defeat the twins without revealing herself to Isabelle.

She looked around and found a bigger building that she could use. She slashed the ground to the left and right, creating a wall of black flame.

"Shadow Slash."

One of the shadows slashes charged at the twins, making them jump to avoid it while the other one did not hit anything. She made these two slashes not purely because she wanted to hold the twins back, but also to camouflage her position. With a line like this, it would not be that easy for Isabelle to know her location.

"Fire Cannon!" The twin would not let her do what she wanted. They created a magic circle at the same time, shooting out a fireball that would explode upon contact like a cannonball.

This huge explosion certainly would blow her cover away, giving away her position. Unfortunately, Isabelle was too occupied with Kai, so despite focusing an attack from Isabelle's direction, she did not sense any single attack.

This only meant that Kai managed to grab her attention fully and he was fine, not like how Sanae's described him. She smiled as she entered a bigger house, forcing the twins to chase her.

If they somehow managed to lose sight of her, she would certainly disappear and make her way toward Isabelle.

Michelle swept away the building with a single glance, learning the structure and such. The building was not really that big as it was closed to a one room apartment. She smiled, planning to use it as her advantage.

"Bang!"

The twins slammed the door, entering an empty house. They were wondering where Michelle could hide in a small place like this.

Unfortunately, Michelle did not hide anywhere as she was right behind the door. The moment they entered, she closed the door and made a magic circle.

"!!!" Noticing this, they turned around only to see Michelle finished her magic.

"Dark Room." Darkness started spreading through the entire house, enveloping the house with a black layer. If she could not get an advantage in the day because of the sun, she simply needed to create an environment that benefits her.

The dark layer even closed the window that should have illuminated the room. Luckily the twins did not break anything and let a hole in the house. If not, she should use another house where everything was connected.

When the room was finally enveloped by darkness, it took away their vision. It was at this moment Michelle started showing her advantage as she activated two of her magic.

"Night Vision."

"Moonlight Shadow."

The former gave her the vision while the latter enhanced her prowess. She originally made this magic to gain an advantage against Kai, but his hearing was unstoppable. No matter how she learned to move without making a sound, Kai would undoubtedly pick it up. Hence, this move was abandoned by her and only at this moment, she finally used it again.

The two shadow swords blended with the darkness, allowing her to move around without anyone noticing.

"Don't panic. Use our flame to light up the room." Eva ordered as a magic circle appeared on her hand. Eve also used the same magic, trying to illuminate the room.

Unfortunately, their efforts were futile as the moment they made a fire, Michelle's sword already reached their hands.

Without a killing intent and the desire to attack the twins, Michelle used her Shadow Slash on a smaller scale, to avoid breaking the house and gave her position away.

The twins might notice if she tried to use the technique toward their body, but they would not notice if she attacked the air in front of them together with their hands, which were in the way.

Pain transmitted to their brain. Eva endured the pain as she stretched her hands to the right side. "That's where you are! Fire Cannon!"

"Boom!"

The room lit up a bit, but when they looked at the place, Michelle was nowhere to be seen.

"Sister, we need to feel her movement, not see her movement," Eve shouted.

"I am on it." Both of them were locating Michelle's movement.

If Kai were here, he would know that Michelle took advantage of the dark to enter their shadow, making them completely blind as they could not feel Michelle's presence.

"I can't sense her anywhere!"

"Look again!" Eva roared as she also could not sense her presence. She thought Michelle must have attacked them to make them think she was here. And the truth was she used that moment of confusion to leave the house and moved toward Isabelle.

She sweatdropped, noticing how they were played with. She shouted, "Not good. She must use this chance to escape. Blast the house right now! We will leave and protect Isabelle!"

"!!!" Eve sucked a cold breath as she created a magic circle to blast the entire house.

Little did they know Michelle was always with them.

"Boom!" The explosion blasted the door, showing the exit. The dark layer also began to vanish, starting from the door.

"We are go-!" When the twins was about to move, they realized another presence coming from behind them. It was at this moment, they knew they f*cked up.

Michelle smiled, coming out of their shadow.

"Die!" She sent their heads flying, concluding the battle. They could not even utter a single word before they died, while the audiences also could not see anything in the dark room.

Although the light started illuminating the room, it was still not enough to reach the twins, so her Shadow Walk was still a secret.

She managed to complete her objective. She came out of the house only to see Isabelle on the air.

"What is the situation, Teacher?"

"Isabelle used her magic to fly, planning to kill all of you first before fighting Kai together with the others. Has she used those flying drones?"

"No. She must sense how sharp Kai's reflex is, so she might think it is futile to fight him in close combat. Besides, he can dodge all of her attacks even if she attacks him continuously. That's why she is planning to end the other battle first." Sanae answered.

"Hmm…" It would take her a few minutes to reach that position and Isabelle could shoot a few rounds within that time. In the end, she could only ask, "How are Ayaka's and Tasha's situation?"

"Ayaka and Tasha are…"
