"Good." Kai nodded before handing the paper to Michelle. "We will talk about the details at a later date. Is that alright with you?"

"Yeah. I need your confirmation first before planning everything. And now that I have received it, I will begin… It will take a few months, but it will surely finish in April or May. We will talk again at that time." She nodded in agreement, but she still had a hard time hiding her embarrassment.

"Alright. I will leave this matter in your hand." Kai nodded. "What are you going to do with the other four teams? Will you inform them about this? Or have you informed them?"

"I haven't told them anything about this because they will surely get angry."

"Sure enough. To challenge my group alone is a kind of looking down on them."

"But don't worry, I will persuade them after at least half of my plan has taken place in this. You don't need to worry about it because I will make sure they use their full strength to fight you by that time."

Kai nodded and thought for a moment. "I will also handle anything from my side."

"Sure."

Kai and Michelle then left the room, returning to their loved room.

As soon as they entered, the thought about telling them immediately vanished from his mind. First, he thought it would be better to tell Tasha a bit later because he accepted this was due to her graduation.

Sofia also had the same reason as she would leave the group at that time, so this battle didn't really concern her.

He could tell Evan while doing the mission in Michelle's hand right now, so that left Ayaka. Since it was only one person, Kai glanced at Michelle, signaling something.

Sensing his gaze, she nodded as if she understood the meaning. He had told her about it while walking back, so she would be the one to inform Ayaka when Kai left for a mission with Evan.

"Anyway, this is the mission." Isabelle handed the mission paper to Evan. "Prepare yourself to meet the expectations placed on your shoulders."

"I will do my best." Evan nodded and read the mission.

After that, Kai picked up the research paper he read earlier, albeit everyone except Kai had their own research paper because they would use the meaningful holiday to increase their strength. None of them wanted to let others stay ahead.

Kai nodded and continued his job until Evan asked him.

"When are we going?"

"It will be in three days. It will take a few days in normal circumstances, so I don't want our schedule to be packed up. Meanwhile, we will also hold a battle among ourselves. It will be me versus you guys on the last day before the holiday."

"I see." Evan nodded and asked, "What is the plan?"

"I won't think about a complicated one. We will simply swipe them up from one area to another while finding the leaders. It will take a bit longer, but I am sure you will gain a lot during this time."

"Thank you." Evan smiled and agreed to the arrangement. Although it was his selfish wish to do the mission with only the two of them, Kai still thought the best.

"I am going to be harsh on you during this mission, okay?"

"Sure. I will be sure to keep up with you."

"That's good then. We shall leave in two days and stay a night in the current base to observe the situation. We will start our mission on the third day."

"Oh?!" Evan was surprised as to why he made this arrangement. Usually, Kai would surely leave at the last minute or the exact same date, so they didn't need to wait that long. But it seemed he had another reason for doing so.

Nonetheless, Evan had no reason to reject it. "Alright then."

The day passed just like that. The following day had no difference except for Evan and Kai discussing the details of their plans and the preparations. As for the four ladies, they had their own talks during this time.

And finally, the day had come. Kai met Evan in front of the school, heading toward the newest Military Base built in Argentina.

"Hmm… So, this is what it looks like when the base is in the middle of construction." Evan muttered while looking at the window.

They were flying above them right now, giving a nice view of the beast from the air.

"Yeah. We couldn't cross Chile this time because it will be dangerous, so I couldn't scout the magical beasts from the air. That's why I will get some information from the base first."

"Is that why you want to come earlier?"

"It is one of the reasons. The other reason is to use the time to listen to everyone's conversation. With a scale of mission this big, I believe the other soldiers will know it as well. I can gather a few interesting information with the rumors that are spreading among the soldiers." Kai smirked.

"Now I understand." Evan nodded. "By the way, what do you think about this base, Kai?"

"Hmm." Kai observed the base for a moment and said, "It's going to be difficult to fight a large battle using this base. But it will be a different case if the constructions have finished."

"…" Evan fell silent as though Kai just answered something that was completely different than his expectation. He looked at many construction workers and their equipment. The process itself was indeed fast, considering they used around a thousand construction workers to finish this job.

But it was necessary because they needed to tackle many magical beasts at the very front.

"Anyway, I have something to tell you."

Evan tilted his head in confusion. "What is it?"

"We are going to fight the top four groups as soon as Tasha graduates. And each of us needs to take on a single group."

"As soon as Tasha graduates? And each of us needs to take them by ourselves?" Evan widened his eyes. With these two points alone, he knew it would be the time they reset their points as Tasha left the group. At the same time, Sofia would also return to the EU base, allowing them to match their numbers.

Still, Evan couldn't believe whether he was able to fight a single group alone or not. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. And the only way to win is for all of us to beat them." Kai smiled.

Evan facepalmed and sighed. "Oh my goodness… Captain, don't you put too much expectation on me?"

"Haha… You will need to train during the holiday with this in mind." Kai grinned. "For the time being, there is a big advantage you have right now."

"What would that be?" Evan furrowed his eyebrows.

"It's your new healing magic. What else?"

"Ah!" He just researched his new magic and learned that it had a second ability. Other than healing people, he could enhance people's abilities this time and boost their metabolism. This ability will mainly increase their physical ability.

"If your performance suddenly goes up, it will surely shock them for a moment. Although we can't underestimate the top groups in this academy, you should be able to take one of them with that surprise attack. I am sure that all the experiences you have will allow you to do that."

"Well, I will take the weakest group because that's the only chance I can win." He shrugged. "After all, I am just a newborn baby to them."

"Nope." Kai shook his head. "You are the ancient one that just woke up again."

"!!!" Evan was surprised. He must mean about his experiences during his hard time with Isabelle. "Haiz…"

"I didn't mean to dig up your past, but when I was searching about Isabelle for the group battle, I found this information. Well, that's also why you can have that fighting sense when you were training with me, right?"

"Yeah." Evan smiled. "That wasn't the greatest memory, but it was enjoyable. Although I didn't manage to improve, I understood more than I could imagine. Unfortunately, it only appeared after training again with you... After all, your brutal training almost instilled a trauma in my heart, you know."

"Ahaha… The fight to the death is the best way to stimulate someone's talent. My teacher said that. And I believed that as well. The proof is you." He smirked.

"As expected, like teacher like student. Both of you are a sadist." Evan shook his head. "I am still thankful for that though."

"Haha… But seriously, I am hoping you can show me your capability during this mission." Kai smiled. "We don't have much time for this upcoming battle."

"It's fine. I will make sure to catch up. Even if I need to be beaten up, I can simply heal myself with my magic. I will just need to avoid their killing blows, and I will be fine. Just like you said, I might be able to create a gap with my enhanced physical ability… It will be for a moment, but I am sure I can heal myself during that period."

"The only thing you need is attacking ability then." Kai nodded.

"Yeah. I am still using one pistol at the moment, but my goal is to use two to increase my firepower."

"Alright." Kai nodded.

They then waited for a few minutes until the helicopter landed inside the base.

As soon as Kai came out of the helicopter, he was surprised by the two people coming toward him.

He simply didn't expect to meet two familiar faces in this base.

"General Paolo and General Erica." Kai widened his eyes before he instinctively saluted.
