The Magician Of Sound

A few minutes ago, in the orphanage, Felice and the others were relaxing in the living room, watching the kids playing around.

However, everything happened so fast when a group of four appeared. They wore a full of black suit that covered every part of their body other than their eyes. They all had a sword in their hands and shouted.

"All you kids, if you don't want to die, follow our words!" The only guy in the group shouted as he appeared in the middle of the playground and grabbed one kid before putting his sword on her neck.

"What?!" Felice and the others quickly rose from their seats.

When they were about to fight back, the enemies had taken many hostages with their swords on the kids' necks.

Felice and the others couldn't help but halt their movement and shouted, "Kids, gather around us."

This shout quickly gathered the kids. Although half of them were crying, they at least managed to gather them around.

The remaining ones were released while they forced all of them to sit in one place as the guy said, "You all have one choice. It's to sit here. If you fight back, we will kill all of you immediately."

The children were terrified and cried out loud and the enemies seemed to be annoyed. Before anything happened to them, Sonia quickly came forward and smiled at the kids.

The enemy quickly brought her down, but the kids seemed to be influenced by her smile. Yes, she was actually born with magic similar to that of hypnosis. Her magic power was low and the power of hypnosis wasn't that great, but it was completely working for children like them.

The kids stopped crying even though they were still terrified. Seeing that Sonia used her Magic, the group decided to tie her up and put a gag on her mouth.

They also noticed that the children stopped, so they let her go and planned to use her again if necessary.

At this time, many thoughts appeared in Felice's head.

'Kh. What is happening? Why are we being attacked? Are they Big Brother Kai's enemies?' Felice looked down while falling into deep thought.

"All of you are to remain here until we get what we want. If you keep annoying us, we will kill you one by one." The guy said.

The madam rose from the ground and shouted, "You should know that this orphanage is protected by two S Rank Magicians, you surely don't want to antagonize them."

The guy released his killing intent, showing that he would kill anyone if she kept pushing him. "Woman, I don't care about your things. In the end, even your S Rank Magicians can't do anything in this situation."

Listening to their conversation, Felice agreed because Roselyn and Arnaud were going their way to complete a certain mission. She also couldn't go to Rena's place for a while since Rena needed to maintain the border.

That was why they didn't have any sort of protection at the moment.

'What should we do? Madam was a former agent and my magic should be able to stop these people. But they're aiming at the kids, so I need to separate them from the kids.' Felice closed her eyes and started contemplating their plan. She took a deep breath to calm her head and chanted one sentence that could cool her mind. 'I am going to be the great disciple of Kai Carter. If I can't solve something like this, I won't be worthy of him.'

When she opened her eyes, she found the one thing that could change the entire outcome for her.

The mysterious group actually brought a camera and pointed it at them.

'A camera? Why? There must be something big behind that camera… Don't tell me they're trying to blackmail Big Sister Roselyn? But she should be with Big Brother Kai… Wait, since they are together…' Felice just thought it a good thing.

The group turned on the camera while saying, "Smile… I'm sure you want to let your big sister know you."

At that moment, Felice secretly placed her hand on the floor and gently tapped it. 'Big Brother Kai has an extraordinary hearing, but I don't know how strong it is… If he can hear the secret code I send, I'm sure he will try to reach out to me and I will also be able to judge how strong his hearing is.'

As expected from a genius, she had learned the morse code at her age and seemed to have no problem conducting other research. Her achievement might be at the same level as Ria Ross in the future if not surpassed her.

Her prayer was answered as Kai called them a moment later.

"Kai Carter wants to speak to all of you. You have four minutes… If you say something useless, we will kill you." The guy threatened them again.

The kids were scared and started screaming at him, but Felice's head became surprisingly cool in this situation.

She looked down to cover her mouth to avoid anyone from thinking she sent a secret message. At the same time, her body kept shaking from time to time to make them believe she was crying.

"Ahaha, Kids. I can hear you just fine. Don't worry. I will be helping you right now. Just wait for me."

When she heard Kai's voice and his reply, she understood there would be a thousand different replies he could use to calm the kid. However, he said, "I can hear you just fine" in his first sentence. And that one sentence was the reply she needed.

A smile appeared on her face as she quickly muttered in a very low voice. With the help of the kids' crying voices, she could send a fast message to him by using her mouth. 'Madam was a former agent and I could buy time against two people. The oldest can somehow help me, so as long as the kids are safe, we can move immediately.'

Replying to Felice's information, Kai signaled her that there was another hostage from the Campbell Family. And he even gave a clue that the Campbell Family would do everything they needed to save her.

Suddenly, she came to a realization as there was another reason why Kai mentioned the Campbell Family.

'Wait… Did he mention the Campbell Family especially to me? He wants me to take advantage of the Campbell Family? Wait a minute, without their…' Felice drew a gasp as she understood what Kai wanted. 'He wants me to call Arnaud since he has direct access to the Campbell Family. Even without him, the Campbell Family will surely help us along with the other hostages. As expected of Big Brother, I'm truly not your match.'

Before she could reply, Kai gave another hint to her.

'Releasing the kids while taking us hostages? No, that's impossible in the current situation. But…' When she heard Kai saying they needed to send the kids upstairs and lock them in their room, it was a direct order from him. 'That's right. My Magic can do something about these four people for an instant before sending the kids to their room. If Big Sister Sonia protects them… Madam and I should be able to buy enough time until the reinforcement arrives…'

'And…' She heard Kai mentioning time, so she believed it was the time limit. And the Campbell Family would surely be able to move faster than that. 'The best would be five minutes and the slowest would be ten minutes.'

After getting all the instructions she needed, she began to formulate their plan. 'For now, the swords are dangerous. Since I don't use it, I should give Madam two swords while the rest will be handled by Big Sister Sonia to protect the kids. In other words, I should fight two people for a few minutes. I don't know if I can do it, but I won't be able to become Big Brother Kai's disciple if I'm scared of this.'

She took a deep breath and recalculated her plan.

'It's fine. I can do this. First, I need to blow them away using my magic and grab a device to call Sir Arnaud. At the same time, I will grab their swords and toss them to Madam. Madam will use it to free Big Sister Sonia, so she can lead the kids upstairs. I will try to help the others, but I am afraid I can't since the enemies are elites. Buying time will be hard but doable.' After looking at her plan again, Felice nodded her head and was ready to execute it.

She suddenly rose from the floor as a blue-colored magic circle appeared behind her. "Telekinetic!"

Yes, her magic was none other than Telekinetic and her ability was quite huge. She pushed the enemies away while holding their swords with her power, so they stayed afloat.

"Run to the second floor!" She shouted as she tossed the swords to the madam.
