"Are you serious?" Michelle furrowed her eyebrows.
Ayaka tilted her head in confusion, looking at Michelle for an explanation.
Michelle didn't notice her action and kept asking Tasha. "Have you thought about it? Have Kai agreed on this matter?"
"I thought about it just now."
"Are you crazy? You will be targeted, you know."
"I know. I am prepared for it. In fact, I have been thinking about this since a few months ago where we were trapped in the Underground Cave. If I use everything in my possession, I am able to obliterate the enemies… Maybe a few thousands of them." Tasha closed her eyes and sighed. "Yet, I worried about Kai and our parents because the trouble wouldn't come only to me, but also them."
"Isn't that the reason why Kai forbade you?!" Michelle gritted her teeth.
"I know. However, I am afraid that the next opponent will be a big one." Tasha narrowed her eyes, leaking her killing intent.
"Those Protectors huh…" Michelle took a deep breath.
"Yes. Normal means won't be effective against them. I don't like how the burden falls on his shoulders, so rather than looking at him in front alone, it's better to join him on the side."
"Fair enough." Michelle let out a long sigh. "If you have thought about everything, I won't say anything about your decision. Just make sure you inform him about this."
"I understand. I will surely talk with him before I am using it. For the time being, I plan to train in those areas to ensure perfect control of my magic." Tasha nodded with a solemn expression.
Michelle then noticed Ayaka's clueless expression. "I don't know whether Kai has told you about it or not, but Tasha's Space Magic is a Sealing Magic. This magic is powerful, but she never shows her talent in this area because it's forbidden. Kai asked her not to use this magic and make the others think she only has a normal Space Magic.
"Let's take a single example. There is a magic called Sealing Sphere. Due to her low inborn magic power, she can only summon three of them, so it's considered a low side. Nonetheless, it's still one of the most powerful magic. I will explain this magic a little. First of all, this magic can seal a certain amount of space.
"The real power behind it is the compression power. Imagine if she compressed a certain amount of air and burst it out… I don't know how big the explosion will be, but it should be around your strongest Scarlet Explosion. And there will be three of them coming in.
"Despite the powerful magic, this magic doesn't need a huge amount of magic power because it only needs to summon the sphere and compress. That's all. You can see how powerful it is, right?"
Ayaka thought for a moment and nodded.
"And the fact that she can seal anything is also another problem. Let's see… How about compressing your Scarlet Explosion and let it explode again? From the theory alone, it should cause bigger destruction. Then how about carrying compressed water that can't be compressed… The sudden expansion will give a powerful shock wave capable of cutting your hand.
"If I were her, I might even try compressing a huge amount of poisonous gas as my trump card," Michelle said with a grim expression.
"I understand. The Government might want to get that power more than Kai's power. I have once heard that there was once the same magician as her, but died in the battle." Ayaka suddenly remembered a certain matter.
"I don't know whether it's true or not, but there is also another version of it. It's said that he died because the Government thought he was too dangerous." Michelle shrugged.
"…" Ayaka couldn't say anything afterward, realizing how big the matter would become.
"Anyway, I disagree with you using it unless Kai lifts the ban on your magic. You should know as well that your power will endanger him."
"I know." Tasha nodded with a solemn expression. "Don't worry. I am not planning to use it so soon. Kai has new magic, so I am thinking about polishing my Lightning Magic first while training my Sealing Magic secretly."
"Wait? Kai should hear this, right? His hearing is…" Ayaka was confused once again.
"Look at his state, and you will know. He is too tired for this, and usually, he doesn't really like listening while sleeping. I don't know the details, but he is programming his brain like that. Of course, he can still listen, but he chooses not to." Tasha looked at Kai with a gentle smile.
"I also believe that you should talk about it to Kai before doing anything this dangerous." Ayaka nodded.
"I know. So, can you keep this a secret first? I might probably do it where Kai couldn't hear me." Tasha smiled.
Michelle and Tasha looked at each other and nodded. "We understand."
Little did they know that Kai, on the bed, clenched his fist despite closing his eyes.
…
The next day,
Kai rose from his bed, pretending like he didn't hear a single thing last night. He looked at Tasha, Michelle, and Ayaka, who were busy preparing themselves for today's fun.
"Good morning. I am sorry about yesterday. Got a little tired." Kai apologized.
"It's fine. You can even sleep for another hour if you want. We will bring breakfast to this room and leave the hotel in one and a half hours." Michelle smiled gently.
After finishing their preparation, the three girls left Kai alone in the room. Without anyone to talk to, Kai reached the communication device and noticed a single message.
'I am sorry to leave so suddenly. I have some clues about the leader of the third party, so I immediately went there without saying goodbye. Unfortunately, he had escaped. I will try to solve this issue as soon as possible, but I don't know when I can solve it, so you should be more careful and contact me or have Tasha contact me if you notice something suspicious.
'It's better you don't know much about this, but I will tell you the identity of the person who targeted you. He used to work under me in the Zodiac Plan and became the Vice Leader of the project when the Government took over the project. It was at that time I left the project.
'His name is Matt. Anyway, you shouldn't think much about this person and let me handle it. It seems he escapes somewhere, so I will start tracking him right now.
'Other than this person, I have another thing to inform you. It's about Sofia Campbell. Just like how she is trying to entice you to come with her to the EU Base, you can do the same and have her stay in this base… You know what I mean.
'From the Government's perspective, it will be giving another fang to a tiger. Just look at you, two S Rank magicians and one Zodiac as your girlfriends… There is no way the Government will give you up. Anyway, I will leave this matter to you. If you don't find her attractive, I will support your decision. Political marriage is a thing, especially between the two bases, but I will fight the Government if you don't want such a thing.
'I just want you to be happy like how you made my black and white world colorful again a decade ago.
'See you later - Ria Ross.'
"…" Kai became speechless. He didn't need to comment on anything about the first message about that guy because he trusted his teacher. However, the second one was really unnecessary.
Kai let out a long sigh, thinking about the matter at hand. 'I need many things to do now…'
…
After having their breakfast, they finally went around Miami, buying all the things they wanted to buy. It was a fun time for Kai since he could enjoy everything with the girls.
At the same time, Sofia could only suck her thumb because she couldn't predict where Kai would go. She understood Kai's strength. Not only was he a brilliant fighter, but he could also command the army perfectly. With that extraordinary hearing, no wonder US Base made an exception for him.
Sofia was trying to see whether there was a gap she could exploit to bring Kai back to EU Base. Besides, there was also that medicine. The value of that medicine was far too high because it allowed the Zodiac to give birth to a baby.
She also knew about the US Base real plan about Zodiac, so she knew that this medicine would certainly make their plan succeed. If she ignored the fact that the US Base had more advanced medicine and genetics than them, she was pretty happy with this because they were closer to the future where the humans ruled the Earth once again.
In the end, Sofia stayed inside the hotel room for another day because she was sure Kai would come to the beach tomorrow.
…
The next day, Kai went to the beach again with the whole group, and Sofia used this chance to visit Kai, talking from small things to big things such as the previous war and the conference in two days.
The girls kept interrupting them every time Sofia tried to make a move. As annoying as it may, Kai didn't do anything because he didn't like it anyway. Sofia ended up getting a crushing defeat on the beach and decided to return to the hotel.
The next day, their vacation had finally come to an end. The seven days had passed, and all of them went to the airport. He and the others were pretty satisfied with the vacation and boarded the plane with a smile on their face.
