The Magician Of Sound

A week later, in the morning, the group had a meet-up before going to the Amazon.

Isabelle came to Kai to ask one question. "Considering this area is pretty much an uncharted territory for us, do we need to contribute anything to the government?"

Kai nodded. "I will handle the contribution. They only asked for a map and distribution data, including the data about the magical beasts' distribution. There is also a chance that we encounter a dangerous beast, so keep that in mind."

"Alright then." She nodded. "Anything else?"

"No." Kai shook his head. "The rest will be explained by our operator."

"Operator, eh? There are not many groups using an operator…" She smiled while observing Kai's facial expression.

"I have my own circumstances that lead to me hiring an operator." Kai shrugged. He then projected the call from Becca on the whiteboard.

The two groups stared at the whiteboard, listening to the explanation.

Becca's face appeared on the top corner as she presented a map that had been marked here and there.

"Ahem, hello. My name is Becca, the Lion Group's new operator. After considering a few things, I have decided to accept the job offer, and here I am. Anyway, enough for my introduction and let's go to the main point.

"I have talked to Kai Carter and came up with a basic direction to where you should go. This is the plan." She zoomed the Amazon Forest's left area and continued, "You all will start from the left side of the Amazon Forest.

"As you might already know, there are still many monsters coming out of the forest that have been hunted by students. However, the powerful ones wouldn't leave their territory just to explore the outside world. In other words, you need to watch out for them.

"After entering the left side, you all will go along with the river and focus on the lower side of the map. This part alone should be enough to reach three hundred thousand kills. That's why it's better to take a safer course.

"I will explain the details then. After reaching the forest, you all shall go three hours to this hill that you can use as a base of operation. This is a precious hill that is hard to come by, considering this forest is almost all flat.

"As long as you have a turn to watch out during the night, we won't have a problem. If possible, make it two people for each shift to make it more secure. You can rest for the night after capturing the hill and clear out the perimeter.

"The next day, you should go around the river before changing your direction on the fourth day onward. This is the diagram." She showed a gif that let them know where they needed to head according to the time in the corner of the picture.

Kai nodded since this plan was the thought of him and Becca that had a few arguments when coming up with a basic plan.

"Just make sure to report to me every day, and I will record everything for you. Make sure you return to the base first, so it won't get picked up by the magical beasts. That's all. Are there any questions?"

The group looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Alright. That's all. Everything will be left in Kai's hand as the captain of the group." Isabelle nodded and hung up the video call.

Before leaving the room, Kai called a few names. "Evan, Ayaka, Sofia, and Isabelle…I want you to meet me after this mission, alright?"

They didn't know his intention of calling them but still nodded their heads.

Without an objection from any member, they walked to the parking lot of the school, where they found two helicopters that had been waiting for them.

The groups met their respective pilot, and Kai ordered them to move.

The two helicopters then soared to the sky, flying straight to the military base in Peru. Kai chose this place because it was the closest one to their target.

It took them several hours just to get there, but the group didn't feel the trip was boring. They decided to share their experiences during the training.

Ayaka and Tasha told them how they saved the military base in Argentina and how they saw them off when they left the base. It was an epic story, considering both of them had saved a thousand soldiers and turned around the situation.

And Tasha's Teleportation Magic became even more famous since it helped them the most. Meanwhile, Ayaka's commanding ability had grown to a high degree that Kai could easily talk about strategy with her.

This was surprising for him, considering Ayaka once was an annoying girl at the beginning. Nonetheless, he continued their talk with his story.

They were surprised when they heard Kai's win rate was around twenty percent. It was already high enough since his opponent was Ria Ross. Kai once again almost reached the highest level of Martial Prowess.

However, Kai didn't tell them about Ria's transformation in the last fight and his instinct because he believed the information needed to be classified for the time being.

He also didn't forget to mention his doubt in the government, saying there might be a spy there. He warned them not to mention anything to their parents because the spy might not be aware of their intention. They were still high school students after all.

The group promised him. After that, Michelle told them the story of her self torture to achieve greater strength.

When the group asked about her new strength, she didn't tell them yet because it was still a secret. However, she indeed could wield a two-handed sword with one hand, so it was a major improvement.

Kai and the others were actually curious about her new style, especially when she called her new fighting style a dance.

Nonetheless, the group decided to end it there and gave the turn to Sofia.

Sofia didn't mind others knowing about this since she considered them to be close enough to know this.

She mentioned a few things about her grandfather, who seemed to be an S Rank Magician. Kai had read the article back then and asked whether her grandfather was the famous Force Control, Alan Campbell. She confirmed it.

What was special about this person was his intake of Wind Magic. He used the Wind to create an invisible force that was hard to see and hear, allowing him to sneak up on them. However, this power wasn't for assassination since he was someone who actually led the soldiers from the front.

When Kai told the story about Alan Campbell, the group agreed as to how this person could be considered an S Rank Magician.

However, Sofia also mentioned him talking about Kai, especially about the child part. The group couldn't say anything to her since it was pretty weird. She had stopped mentioning it for a few months, so they just got an aftershock when they heard it again.

Either way, they met another surprise when she mentioned the aphrodisiac that her grandfather asked her to bring.

Kai also understood her intention in talking about this and couldn't help but smile. She just wanted to tell Kai that she wouldn't use any underhanded tactic to obtain his heart.

When everyone became curious, she explained the reason, which turned out to be her experience in this group. After learning from Michelle and the girls, she knew that the best way was this, so she only asked that Kai didn't draw a line between them or intentionally shoved her off.

Kai nodded and let nature take its course which Sofia agreed.

This was when the situation began getting exciting. It was Evan's story. They were dying to know how Evan could become a pedophile, which he strongly denied.

It turned out that he found Leisa when she played in the garden alone. Leisa found him when he brought a poisonous plant, and it became a misunderstanding.

He didn't want Leisa to be near the poisonous plant, so he escaped, but the latter thought Evan was playing with her.

She kept chasing him until he got caught. Unfortunately, Leisa touched the poisonous plant in the end and immediately tried to heal her.

When seeing this kindness and probably due to her loneliness, Leisa became fond of him and showed her knowledge in this term.

Evan's original purpose was to become stronger, so he listened to her as well after doing his chore from her mother.

Leisa became even happier since that day and often visited him. Their relationship gradually became better, but it was also misunderstood by her mother.

The mother turned out to be more shameless than he could ever imagine, but Leisa was also one of his shocks.

As soon as the mother decided to keep him in the EU base, she suddenly asked Leisa to become his wife which she instantly agreed.

There was no hesitation in her tone either. But what made this even more interesting was the fact that they were talking about this in front of Evan himself.

Since he didn't need to meet them anymore after this, Evan played along. After all, he had tried escaping from there, only to get caught by Leisa, who happened to be sharper than her mother.

And she was even scarier than her. The first time she caught him, she told him that she sprinkled a poison powder in his clothes, allowing her to keep track of him.

The idea became even more and more absurd from that day until in the airport, she wanted to make an aphrodisiac to capture him, which he declined by running away. Thus, the end of his story.

The group had mixed feeling about this, not knowing what to say. Kai only patted Evan's shoulder and looked at him with a sympathetic gaze while saying. "You've worked hard."
