The Magician of Sound

Inside a small room, the Television was showing emergency news for all citizens. On the screen, there were five S Rank Magicians and one mutated monster that seemed to be too far if they wanted to call him a Magical Beast.

"There is an emergency fight going on inside the base. In this video, we all can see the power of Kai Carter and the other four S Rank Magicians from our base. They all attacked the monster before them, only to find it was useless.

"Despite showing us so much strength, the monster was perfectly fine. According to our information, the monster itself was brought by Prime Minister Oliver and it was said that the monster was created by the experiment and had gone out of control.

"This is the result of that inhumane experiment. Kai and the others tried to put a stop to this madness, but Oliver turned out releasing the strongest monster he had created. This monster\'s only thought is to kill all humans and bring us to extinction.

"Can you even imagine what will happen if the five S Rank Magicians can\'t handle this monster? Prime Minister Oliver had betrayed humanity and wanted to destroy humanity! Luckily, Kai Carter, the leader of this group, had assured us that he would win this fight no matter what it took.

"Even our journalist almost lost her life just to take this one short video. The monster could destroy a helicopter from afar in an instant, she said. We hope the Union can handle this as soon as possible!"

…

Two minutes later.

The sound of panting echoed inside the corridor as a female pushed slammed open the door before her, surprising everyone inside the room.

Though, it was only two people inside, talking about a few things. They were none other than Aston and Arba.

Aston furrowed his eyebrows, looked at the girl, and asked, "Leah? What\'s wrong with you? It\'s rare to see you coming here this late, especially with that kind of look."

"Teachers… You two need to see this." Leah said out loud in a hurry.

The two didn\'t understand her concern but still followed her to see the news.

Aston started sweating as he frowned, muttering, "That guy… If I\'m not wrong, that guy is among the best…"

"What should we do? It\'s not the time for us yet." Arba turned to Aston.

Aston stopped her with a serious expression while observing Kai\'s movement. "This… Seeing this kind of gap should be enough for His Majesty to realize whether he needs to escape or not. Yet, he is staying on the battlefield."

Before continuing, he saw the squid attack the helicopter and force them to retreat. At the same time, Kai also told them that everything was going to be alright.

He might just want to assure them, but he soon realized it wasn\'t. It was a special message for them.

"Arba… We\'re going to help him right now. You\'re going to kill that monster."

"Huh?" Arba tilted her head in confusion, not understanding his reasoning.

"His Majesty is trying to tell us that he can\'t do it alone for this one and ask for our help. Imagine, His Majesty has been doing everything secretly. There\'s no way for such a person to go all his way to broadcast this so everyone can watch."

"But they are just journalists. They may have caught wind of this battle and tried to get a scoop."

"That will be the case if the situation is different. The EU Base is not safe right now because of the recent conflict. I have been following that matter to understand His Majesty\'s move. He indeed wants us to go there."

"Are you sure?"

"I can\'t explain much because time is essential, but we can go there with a Teleportation Magic and stay not far from there, hiding. During that time, you can ask His Majesty yourself to make sure if he really needs us or not. I think that\'s enough for this one…" Aston offered a solution to the doubtful Arba. "Although I want to let Leah and Devain handle this, time is too important for us. There\'s a possibility that our plan is discovered by those people."

Arba thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand. We shall proceed according to your plan."

"Good." Aston smiled and started their preparation.

A few minutes later, Aston and Arba had arrived at the base. After getting the location from the news, they searched for that area for a while before hearing a loud sound coming from the battlefield.

The two quickly hid while Arba whispered to Kai. "Your Majesty. I am a bit perplexed by your signal, so I want to confirm it first. Since I can\'t hear you, I will do a little test. If you don\'t call for our help, please ignore this message. If you need our help to kill that guy, please insult that guy as much as you want. Not only can it anger the enemy, but I can also sneak behind him to launch a devastating blow."

Listening to that, Kai smiled and acted tough, mocking Kerza all he wanted. After all, he was a bit frustrated because he couldn\'t do a single thing for him.

Arba and Aston nodded at each other as they began to move after getting the signal from Kai.

…

Boom.

Everyone, except Kai and Aston, dropped their jaws to the ground as they couldn\'t believe what just happened before their eyes.

Their only thought was, \'There is someone who can cause this much destruction with just a single punch?\'

Kai remained silent before saying to Aston, "She can use all her power. Just make sure that the enemy dies."

"I understand." Aston nodded with a serious expression before relaying Kai\'s message to Arba through telepathy.

"Kai, they are…" Sofia drew a gasp as she never saw someone this powerful.

"Don\'t ask for now." Kai smiled and assured them that everything was going to be alright. He then asked Aston, "What is your intake about the war that may come soon? I\'m sure you\'re already aware of this, right?"

"Yes. It\'s much sooner than I expected after killing this guy. Luckily, there\'s no one who will broadcast us here…"

"Don\'t worry. They are also trusted. Whether you want to wipe their memory or not, it\'s your jurisdiction. However, I don\'t think it\'s necessary anymore because they will be a great help in the next war."

"In that case, I won\'t do anything to them. I only want to ask how much Your Majesty trusts them…"

"The two girls… I trust them fully. The two old men, I trust them with a little threat."

"Certainly. I won\'t do anything to all of them then." Aston nodded before looking at Kerza, who couldn\'t be recognized anymore.

Because of that surprise attack and his current condition, Arba had been brutally punching him without stopping, releasing her anger.

Yet, Kerza was still alive while looking at Aston. "You… There\'s no other human who is this strong unless…" Kerza realized something and looked at Kai. "You… You are already aware of your status…"

"You talked too much!" Arba sent another punch right on the right side of his head, crushing his little cheek until it burst out blood.

"…" Kai only looked at the small crater that seemed to have a blood pool under construction.
