The Magician of Sound

"Overwhelming. There is nothing I can say other than this word to describe the fight. Lion Group has shown an unprecedented level of fighting ability. There's no need to doubt again the fact that they have fought an S Rank Magical Beast, which ultimately got killed by their leader, Kai Carter." Diego stood up and shouted out loud.

"If I need to tell you about my current feeling, it's nothing but excitement. The Lion Group has just set a new record, far surpassing that in the academy." He then looked at Sanae and asked. "What do you think about Lion Group's strength, Teacher?"

Sanae pondered for a moment before explaining. "I have nothing to say other than powerful. Let's take a look at Evan, who is the healer of the party. He has no offensive battle, but the way he moves has been honed to that degree. I'm sure that not many students can catch him when he's running.

"If I am not wrong, he can enhance his ability as well, but I'm not well versed in this since I've never asked him.

"Then, let's move to Kudo Ayaka. She has power and speed under her belt, allowing her to manipulate the entire battle by showing an unbelievable fighting style that emphasizes momentum. She also can use her powerful Fire Magic… As expected from an A Rank Magician. Something like this is to be expected.

"Ah, I don't mean to make the other groups look bad. They are strong if you take another look at them. Unfortunately, the Lion Group is simply too strong. But this is also the reason why the government makes an exception to their captain, Kai Carter. Now you can see the difference between normal people and a Lieutenant General, right?

"Anyway, before talking about him, let's discuss Michelle Graham. I'm sure that you think she is too reliant on tricks, but I can assure you that you haven't seen anything yet. That scythe is something that can kill the mutated magical beast while her sword can cut almost everything.

"If you don't know about the S Rank Magical Beast, you can imagine having thick steel compressed to cover them. If you don't trust me, you can search for it on the Internet. I'm sure that the government has made a statement about it.

"Last but not least, Kai Carter. Not only his ability, but his mind is top-notch. He has become a strategist of large battles a few times, and everything leads to victory. Hence, I believe he must have devised the plan for this battle.

"For his strength, I think I don't need to explain it again, right? That powerful Vibration Sword can almost cut everything. And the Sonic Boom phenomenon is more than enough to damage an S Rank Magical Beast.

"I can only apologize to the Golden Group who needs to fight him. That's all my opinions. I don't think I will add anything more." Sanae finished her speech with one warning that she wouldn't answer any more questions.

Diego understood that and thanked her.

"I believe that this battle can't show their real strength, but I can assure you that they're far stronger than what you have seen. I'm sure that all of you are excited to try it yourself, becoming the second Kai Carter, right? I will pray for your success.

"Hereby, I announce that the Group Battle has officially ended. Thank you for your time to come all the way here. Diego out." Diego closed the screen, signaling that everyone was over.

Meanwhile, Kai and the others met the groups they fought earlier.

Kai shook Samuel's hand with a smile.

"Thank you." Samuel thanked him. Although frustration remained on his face, he seemed to have grasped something more important other than winning or losing.

"I like your expression. I wish you luck." Kai nodded.

"If it's not bothering you, I wonder if I can ask your advice for our group?" Samuel asked with a hesitant tone.

"Sure. If you don't mind."

They started discussing what he found unnecessary before talking about their strength. Samuel was amazed by the extent of his knowledge.

On the other hand, the other three also explained what they saw from their opponent. Since this would lead to an improvement, Michelle and the others also asked about their weakness.

This battle turned into a good exchange between students, which satisfied Kai.

"How about having a party? It doesn't need to be in a fancy restaurant. Just a regular one where we can talk." Kai invited them, to which the other three also agreed.

After contemplating for a while, the four groups accepted his invitation as they all went toward a nearby restaurant.

The students and teachers who watched the battle also discussed the battle, though most topics were just them praising Kai's strength and idolizing him.

This was how the group battle ended, which seemed to be a win-win situation. At the very least, he could satisfy the new students and his opponents.

Soon after, they returned to their home.

Knowing Kai would soon leave for the EU Base, Ayaka and Michelle visited him daily while bonding with his parents. Of course, Kai noticed that both his parents and the two girls had been hinting at each other about marriage.

After a long while, they seemed to agree to hold the marriage within two years after Kai graduated. In other words, it would be when he was 21 or 22 years old.

It was considered late in this era to be honest, but this was Kai they were talking about, so this number was rather acceptable for both parties.

His mother was in euphoria since there would be a hint that she would get a grandchild soon, which Kai rebuked by telling her that it would only happen in three or four years at the minimum.

Even so, the thought of marriage alone was already enough for her.

Kai also believed that two years after graduation would be a perfect time to handle it since he planned to get the fourth star during his third year. After that, he would consolidate his relationship with both Sofia and Haruko during the two years while preparing their marriage.

After that, Kai needed to settle the conflict between him and the Katsuragi Family. There was also a plan to rescue Ayaka's grandfather. And Kai wanted to settle it before his marriage.

He had many things going on with his priority leaning on his identity as the Human Race's protector.

Those from the sea had given enough hints to make them realize that they were trying to destroy the entire US Base, so he needed to become the real protector as soon as possible. That was why he would need to go to the place Oni Protector, Ishii, had told him.

And there seemed to be someone pulling the string the moment he arrived at the EU Base, so he needed to negotiate with them again, even if it meant extending his stay there.

After another two weeks, it was time to part.

Kai went to the airport accompanied by his family. Of course, Ayaka and Michelle tagged along. Even Nathan, Ria, and President Brent came to see him off.

"Sofia is the limit, okay? Don't you dare to look for another woman." Michelle pouted and looked away.

"Ahaha, I know. I have my hands full with you guys, so how can I search for another one? Besides, I'm not actively searching any of you guys, you know." Kai let out a long sigh.

"That's… true. Anyway, just be careful and take care of yourself. I am ready to head there at any moment's notice."

"Sure thing. I will endeavor to prevent such a thing from happening."

"Good." Michelle smiled and kissed him before letting Ayaka say her piece.

"Well, I don't have anything to say other than be careful. What you plan to do is extremely dangerous, so… Ugh, I'm not good with words." She flustered and ended us kissing him. "Anyway, take care of yourself."

"Of course. Your wish is my command." Kai smiled.

Nathan then stepped forward as he clung to Kai while shouting. "I don't want you to go. I'm sure that they are trying to pull something when you're there."

"Grandfather!" Michelle's eyebrows twitched as she pulled him off. "You're bothering him."

"But granddaughter—"

"Grandfather, it's enough. This time, it's really annoying. I trust him, so I will believe that he can handle everything that comes his way. However, even if it's a joke, what you are doing is too annoying."

"Ugh. Now you have become like my daughter-in-law, your mother. It seems that I can't sleep well tonight." Nathan dropped to the ground and lamented Michelle's change.

Meanwhile, President Brent shook Kai's hand and smiled. "I wish you luck. Although I don't want to admit it, their technology is the best among the three bases. Of course, we have our own technology and research, but I believe you should understand their technology and probably acquire it for yourself."

"Ehm, that's the plan. I will just see which one can help me." Kai nodded with a serious expression. "And I'm sorry for making you be here."

"Don't mind. No one knows about it and it's not my working hours yet, so it's fine. Anyway, good luck."

"Thanks." Kai nodded before turning to Ria Ross.

"I only have one thing I want you to do." Ria patted his shoulder before clutching it.

"Teacher?" Kai tilted his head in confusion.

"Sofia's grandfather is the EU Base's strongest, right? Beat him for me."

"Eh?" Kai blinked his eyes a few times, not believing what he just heard.

"Yes, beat him for me. Since I can still beat you, it means that if you are above him and I'm above you, it will solidify my position as the world's strongest." She gave a thumb up.

"Ahaha." Kai shook his head helplessly. "I'm curious about his strength, so I will do it if there's a chance."

After saying goodbye to all of them, he turned around and waved his hand while walking toward his plane. "Then everyone. I'm going."
