The Magician of Sound

"Let\'s start, shall we?" Kai looked at Ayaka, who was the leader of the group, to start their small meeting.

However, before she started, Tasha suddenly spoke, "Ah, if you\'re talking about the Kanggye region, I need to warn you about something.

"Although most of the magical beasts in that region have been killed by the soldiers there, that place is still close to China\'s border, where the current battlefield is. So, if somehow there are magical beasts that have fled from that border toward you, you shouldn\'t panic. Immediately retreat, and, if possible, inform your teacher straight away," Tasha explained while pointing at the map directly.

Fujino Chitose and Carmina Elvera tensed up. If it was the past Ayaka, she would do the same. She was more mature now, so she asked, "If we get attacked from the north, it\'ll be hard to escape through the woods."

Kai and Tasha agreed with her. If it were Tasha, she would escape with teleportation. However, for Ayaka, she would escape using her Fire Wings and fly to the sky. It could be done if they were alone, however, Ayaka knew when she proposed this, they had two other comrades in this test.

After hearing that, Fujino Chitose said, "I have flying magic. In fact, this is my specialty. I\'ll take Carmina if we need to escape."

Kai and Ayaka looked at her for a while and nodded their heads. Kai added, "Well, there\'s nothing wrong with being prepared, so no need to be tense."

"All right. Let\'s move on to the Kanggye region." Ayaka then pointed at the Kanggye Stadium. "We will be hunting magical beasts in the mountain area. We don\'t have any information about the base or the mission, so it\'s a bit hard to speculate on what course to choose."

"Ah, if you\'re talking about the base, the academy will set up a temporary base in the Kanggye Stadium. A few soldiers will help the teachers in that base," Tasha said while looking away.

As for why she knew that, it was obviously because she already covered up all the information she could get as a student council member. If she knew about the mission, she would also blurt it out even though she shouldn\'t do it. Unfortunately, the mission would be given by the soldiers on the scene.

"Sister, are you sure you\'re allowed to talk about that?" Kai glanced at her.

"Of course I can. As long as no one knows, it\'ll be fine. Well, even if they do know, they\'ll only reprimand me a bit, that\'s all," she shrugged.

Ayaka suddenly spoke, "Anyway, we\'ll need to act according to the mission we get later. Well, first of all, I think by knowing what we can do, we\'ll be able to coordinate better as a group.

"Anyway, I\'ll start with mine. My fire magic, I can use three types of magic. The first one is movement. It can only increase my speed. The second type is flying. And last but not least is my firepower. I\'m confident that I can blast a powerful monster away."

Even though she suggested this, she never said anything about the details about her power like what she did with Kai. After all, unlike the partner thing for the practice classes, this group was not fixed. In other words, they would have another group next month. To counter that, she decided to keep it as vague as possible while providing her teammates with the necessary information.

Kai also explained his ability to help convince the others. "I have extraordinary hearing. I can roughly hear the magical beasts around me, which is essentially the same as telling me their position. With that, we can set up an ambush for them or avoid them.

"Well, most of my skills are useful for scouting, so don\'t expect anything from me other than scouting," Kai said.

"Then it\'s my turn. My wind element is good for enhancing my maneuverability. That way, I can distract the magical beasts so that they won\'t get in your way. My wind magic can help me fly or give a jump boost for anyone around me. It\'s like a gust of wind from beneath your feet.

"I can also boost the power of my katana with my wind element, so I have confidence in my ability to be a vanguard," Fujino Chitose said with her usual confidence.

After seeing that all of them had introduced themselves, Carmina also needed to explain her ability, "My ability is plant magic. I can grow trees from the ground or help the trees grow. I can make them restrict the magical beasts."

After introducing their abilities, they continued discussing their battle plans. When they finished their discussion in Kai\'s house, Chitose immediately called for her driver to pick them up, and as usual, she would go back together with Carmina and drop her in front of her house.

It was just like their usual thing.

"Bye!"

"Bye!" Carmina waved her hands while watching Chitose\'s car slowly drive away.

When she couldn\'t see the car again. instead of coming inside, she looked at the highest building four blocks away from her position.

She started walking toward that building.

After a few minutes of walking, she finally arrived. And the one she met in front of that building was a silver-haired man. The silver-haired man smiled and stretched his hand toward her.

Of course, she smiled and accepted his hand like it was a blessing.

…

A few hours later.

Inside a hotel room, far away from the Carter family\'s house, there was a silver-haired man as well as a pink-haired woman on the bed. They were naked while sweat covered all of their body.

"Takaki-sama, I don\'t mind about the position. As long as I can stay beside Takaki-sama, I\'m satisfied."

It turned out that the silver-haired man was Katsuragi Takaki. And the woman was Kai\'s teammate, Carmina Elvera. She even called Takaki with the honorific from Japanese tradition because Takaki, as the young lord from a family that emphasized Japanese tradition, asked her to do so.

She did this so she could get all the resources as well as protection from the Katsuragi family. No, to be precise, she just wanted to live leisurely by leeching off the Katsuragi family.

In fact, she received a message from Katsuragi Takaki. He was convincing her to become his spy, and meeting in this place was to seal the deal.

"Haha… Of course," Katsuragi Takaki said smugly. \'Foolish woman.\'

"It seems that they\'ll set up a base in Kanggye Stadium. Then, our group will be heading north," she told him.

"I\'ll have you bring a tracker with you. That way, I can keep track of your position."

"Yes. I\'ll do anything."

"But… hmm, what should I do with them? I need to kill Kai Carter in this test," Katsuragi Takaki said to show his sincerity. It was just to fool Carmina Elvera into believing he trusted her.

And she believed that. She contemplated for a while before saying, "Today, Tasha Carter said that region would be close to the front line. And even though the soldiers had been clearing that place of magical beasts, there\'s still a probability that the soldiers missed some magical beasts and entered that area."

When he heard that, a smirk formed on Katsuragi Takaki\'s face. "That\'s good. I\'ll ask my subordinates to lead some magical beasts or a few powerful magical beasts to your position."

"But how about me? I\'ll also be attacked by the magical beasts," Carmina said with a pale face.

"Hmph, don\'t worry. You can just say you\'ll split up or make him hold the fort while you call the teacher. That way, he\'ll die after getting rammed by the magical beasts, and you\'ll be safe," Katsuragi Takaki said proudly.

"As expected of Takaki-sama, only you can make a plan like that. I\'ll do my best to make sure he dies," Carmina assured.

Katsuragi Takaki made a smug smile. Sadly, in reality, he was cursing Carmina in his heart. \'Hmph, foolish woman. You\'re not even worth sh*t, and you think you\'re special just because of this? Hmph, you\'ll die along with that b*stard. After that, I can slowly approach Ayaka and that b*tch Tasha.

\'I also need to hide this matter from my family. If that father of mine knows about this, he\'ll surely stop me. That greedy man surely wants to acquire that bastard, Kai too. I won\'t let anyone who dares to seduce my Ayaka live!\'

"Takaki-sama?" She looked at him.

Katsuragi Takaki smiled evilly as he grabbed Carmina\'s breast. Because of the population problem, they were allowed to have sex as soon as they reached high school. It was because the government knew how dangerous the outside world was.

Since high school students who studied in the Magical Academy would go to the front lines, if they died at that place, it would be a considerable loss. Because of that, they allowed something like this, and it seemed that because of magic, humans were already in their prime the moment they reached high school, and they wouldn\'t have a problem if they became pregnant at such an age.

In fact, that way, they could take a break for a year from the front lines. Well, to prepare their muscles and magic, high school students would need to be at least 17 years old.

They continued doing their activities.
