The Magician of Sound

A week later.

Kai, Sofia and Roselyn had been killing monsters for a long time. Unlike Moscow, they didn't have many intelligent magical beasts, making the sweeping easy.

They were resting right now, having their lunch and relaxing. After another one hour, Kai said, "It's time for us to go again. There won't be any change in our strategy. Since we're near Estonia, we will assist them just simply by killing the monsters around that area. We have agreed to give one week for the middle area, Estonia's border, and Lithuania's border."

"Yes. We're ready of course." Roselyn raised from the ground while tapping her sword a few times.

Sofia also nodded her head while brushing all the dirt on her pants.

When they were about to leave, Kai suddenly heard someone's voice.

"Help me! Anyone!"

It was a female voice, crying for help. Since they were near the border of Estonia, they thought this person was a soldier from there and somehow stranded near their position to escape the chase of magical beasts.

It was a normal occurrence, so he thought nothing more about it and said, "There is a woman in that direction. We will go there and help her."

"Sure." The two girls didn't find anything weird for Kai to help a "person". Although it was weird for someone to arrive in this place, they understood the circumstances and believed Kai's decision.

They approached the girl without hesitation and found she was chased by three Magical Beasts.

Kai and the others appeared and killed the magical beasts without hesitation as they looked at the woman.

She seemed to be close to her thirties. She wore a military uniform while her long purple hair got swayed by the wind.

"You three…. You are…" The woman seemed to recognize them as she drew a gasp. "You must be Kai Carter, Sofia Campbell and Roselyn Breguet. It is my honor to see you three."

"Drop the pleasantries. What is happening here? Why are you here alone?" Kai decided to cut to the chase, not wanting to waste his time with her. If he wanted to waste it, it was better to waste it for himself.

Sofia instantly translated what he said to the woman.

"Ye-yes." The woman panicked for a second and pointed to the northwest. "My team is a scout team, but when we're scouting the area, we're ambushed by magical beasts. The team asked me to leave to inform the army, but I almost died as well if you three didn't help me. Please… Please help them."

Kai felt something was wrong with this woman, but he didn't understand what it was.

'Hmm… This is suspicious. Her words are true, but there is this weird feeling I get from listening to her voice.' Kai furrowed his eyebrows and thought for a moment.

Sofia and Roselyn looked at him, confirming whether they would go or not.

"Let's go to your friends. It's better to save them." Kai nodded while figuring out the problem.

After Sofia translated what Kai said, the female leaped to the air to show her happiness before realizing she was in front of Kai. "Ah, I'm sorry. I have lost myself earlier."

Kai still couldn't find what was going on, but he decided to see what this woman planned to do.

"Lead the way."

The woman nodded and quickly moved in the direction she pointed earlier. Surprisingly, the woman didn't even tell her name, even though he just saved her.

He was suspicious of the woman's identity and wondered whether they should continue or not.

When the woman looked away, he typed something in his device before handing it to Sofia and Roselyn. Both of them couldn't understand what Kai meant, but they got the gist of their situation.

They didn't show any kinds of clues to the woman as they continued at their pace while joking around with each other.

Kai maintained his silence while observing their surroundings.

The journey was uneventful and took one hour before Kai's suspicion came true. There must be something going on.

In the corner of his hearing range, he could feel a hundred magical beasts standing on top of a cliff.

Kai suddenly stopped, stunning everyone.

"Eh?!" Sofia and Roselyn halted their steps and turned to Kai with a confused face.

He ignored them for a moment and placed his sword next to the woman's neck. "You don't need to continue your role play. I have seen what you want to do. What is your purpose?"

The woman widened her eyes in surprise, never expecting Kai to know about it this soon. She thought Kai must be bluffing, but the latter already said, "I know there is an ambush ahead. They all have been standing on top of a cliff. You don't need to pretend anymore or I will kill you right here, right now."

The woman fell silent for a few seconds as Sofia and Roselyn suddenly raised their guards, looking at this woman.

The latter smiled as she turned around. "As expected from the genius Kai Carter, it's hard to fool someone like you. Since I don't see any point in wasting my time playing the fool, I should stop. I only have one demand. I want your secret for making those two girls an S Rank Magician."

"Just for that?" Kai narrowed his eyes as he pressured her neck even more until it started to bleed.

"That's the only demand… But I think you want to see this first." The woman showed a screen before her, so Kai and the others could see.

There were two screens. And both of them had their purpose as the two girls shouted at the same time.

"Julia!"

"Kids!"

Yes. The left screen showed Julia, Sofia's main attendant that he met during her visit to the US Base. She was tied in a chair with her mouth gagged. There seemed to be no violence or whatsoever at the moment, but Julia was unconscious.

On the right screen, she showed the orphanage, especially the kids. They all were crying and Kai could even hear their despair. Next to them were several armed men and women that wouldn't hesitate to kill them upon order.

"You!" Roselyn unsheathed her blade before Kai grabbed her wrist, stopping her. He took another look at the kids before staring at the woman. "What do you want me to do?"
