The Magician of Sound

Kai listened to his surroundings to see the size of the arena.

"Teacher?!" Kai called Sanae when he didn't find the other party.

"I will be inputting the data." Sanae nodded and typed a few things on the keyboard.

Suddenly, a blue screen in front of Kai showing the rough size of the map and the distance between him and them.

Sanae's voice suddenly rang in his ears. "This is usually transmitted in your device if it's in the real world. It's just I have never experienced being an operator, so I can only show you the information that Madam Daisy gave me here and not in the real world."

"That's enough." Kai nodded. "To think having an operator makes this easier."

"Well, the operator's job is only giving you the terrain data according to the satellite and analyzing it before sending it to you. However, the front line is a bit hard to utilize the operator because you can only ask them for a report situation during the time you are not fighting or away from the battlefield."

"Maybe I should get one? I think there should be people who aim to be something like this in school, right?" Kai asked while looking at the five dots that had yet to move. Since Michelle and the others were still discussing their plan, he decided to ask a few questions.

"If you are aiming to have one, I am suggesting to take someone from the older one. Well, you might probably only get one from the first year since all the older ones must have gotten into the group. And yeah, they are included as a group member. In other words, they are also fighting with you."

"Not staying in the base? In that case, I shouldn't really get one since when I graduate, I won't be able to take care of the operator since Tasha will join my group again."

"True enough. Evan is probably the most suited one to be an operator, and I have asked him. Unfortunately, he rejected the idea because he was bad at analyzing stuff."

"Such a shame." Kai sighed before he remembered Via, the light magician that Nathan brought up. With her kind of skill and talent, she must be a good operator even if she couldn't fight.

"Anyway, most groups don't have an operator because most of them are working for the government itself, analyzing the data. If you happen to find one that can fight, you are lucky."

"I see. Either way, I have no plan to get one this term because I have even surpassed the limit. If not because of the government's exception, Sofia wouldn't even join my group."

"True enough. Anyway, you are going to have a year with a four-person group, you should start thinking about it now."

"Yeah. I will do it." He nodded before finding the dots in the radar had started moving. "Alright. They have moved."

"The size of the map is approximately ten kilometers. Two kilometers to the right, you will find a power plant that has good hiding spots. I think you can limit Tasha's ability there."

Kai thought for a moment and observed their movement. Although they were not far away from each other, they were still separated. He immediately realized that they were trying to bait him.

"No. The building is a trap. They want to utilize that area. There might even be some explosive gas in the power plant. Ayaka will probably blast it." Kai shook his head.

"I checked it just now. Yes, your prediction is right. It will surely create a huge explosion if it blows up." Sanae confirmed his suspicion.

"Is there anything I can use on the opposite side?"

"None. If you go to the front, you will fight them in a field. It will be a disadvantage for you. To your right is a mountain range, while on the opposite side, behind the power plant, you will find a forest. Where do you want to go?"

"They have really planned it through." Kai smiled. If he chose the first one, his movement ability would surely be fine since he could step on his Sound Blast. Ayaka might probably melt the snow with her fire magic to make it easier for them to move. At that time, he would have a great disadvantage.

If he went to the left, they could take advantage of both the forest and the power plant. In that case, the safer choice would probably be the mountain.

Either way, he would play right into their hands no matter what they chose.

"Are you going for a safer choice?"

"No. Let's go to the left instead."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. Since we are going to their trap no matter which side we choose, it's better to fall…Wait, I have gotten a more interesting idea." Kai grinned.

"Oh?!"

"I will be staying here." Kai smiled evilly as he looked at the tree right beside him and leaned his back on the tree. "Can you give me the layout of my surroundings?"

"If I am your opponent, I will surely call you a son of a b*tch." Sanae smirked as she immediately gave the layout to him.

When Daisy saw this, she smiled and went toward Sanae. "This boy is surely fascinating, isn't he?"

"Indeed. I have nothing but praise for this guy, and I think Evan and the girls have missed one spot where he can actually fight without falling into their plan." Sanae nodded.

"Instead of going to the most obvious ones or making an unexpected move to turn the situation around, he simply waits for them in his original position. This way, Michelle and the others need to chase him to this place because the condition for their victory is to kill Kai. And with a place like this, they won't get the ground to fight him." Daisy smiled.

"Hoho! This is why the boy can make the protectors run for their money." Nathan laughed.

"I really hate if there is someone like him as my opponent." Michael agreed. "He does not think what kind of plan he needs to escape this situation. Instead, he is acting as his opponent right now, thinking how they will move if he makes such a move. Predicting the prediction, I guess."

"Yeah. He calculates what the opponents will do and take that into account." Nathan nodded before laughing again. "Look at this, my flower and son! I have brought you a good son-in-law."

"Indeed." Daisy smiled as she remembered the one who accepted Michelle's relationship with Kai was him.

On the other hand, Michael looked away embarrassedly. "Yes, yes. You are the best, Father."

"Hehe…This guy is doing anything to keep him away because he doesn't want her sunflower (Michelle) to get snatched." Nathan put his hand on Michael's shoulder while teasing him.

Michael couldn't say anything.

"Alright, Father. It's time to stop. This dearest husband of mine is too embarrassed for this. And it's not like this was the reason you accepted their relationship. If not because you knew that his teacher was Ria Ross, you will..." Daisy tried to stop Nathan from bragging since he wouldn't stop for at least fifteen minutes.

"Okay, okay." Nathan pouted and looked away, knowing it was true.

"By the way, there is something I am concerned with. We are assuming that they have missed this spot, but what if they are actually not?" Sanae furrowed her eyebrows and asked.

The three then suddenly shut up and realized they had weeks of preparation.

Kai could create the super plan against the protectors a few months ago due to the time and all data, including the place where they would fight. Because of that, he could move the four armies well and defeat the protectors.

If the others actually had prepared for everything…They couldn't imagine what would happen.

"Anyway, let's watch."

The four then watched the screen with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Kai was trying to understand the terrain. Unlike the others, this terrain consisted of a small hill and trees every now and then.

After waiting for three minutes, he glanced at his right as five of them were standing not far from him.

"You have come." Kai smiled.

The five didn't say anything, but Kai felt the calmness in their hearts and realized that this was indeed inside their prediction.

"I see. It seems you have created every single place in this map and turn them into a trap."

"Should I say as expected? With your ability to listen to our heartbeat, you already know whatever we are thinking." Michelle smiled.

"I want to say that you can only do this because you can create the terrain, and it won't be possible in the real world. But since you use your own advantage well, I won't comment on it."

"But you still said it just now." Michelle pouted.

"There is one thing that makes me curious. Who created the plan?" Kai asked.

To his surprise, neither of them pointed at themselves. Evan pointed at Michelle while the latter pointed at Ayaka. Ayaka pointed at Tasha, and Tasha pointed at Sofia. Lastly, Sofia pointed her finger at Evan.

"Oh?!"

"Michelle came up with the overall plan. Tasha came up with the terrains. Ayaka thought of the traps. Sofia managed the harmony between each terrain and trap. As for me? I just barely thought about what you would do," Evan explained.

"I think that pays off." Kai smiled.

"Indeed." Michelle nodded and raised his hand. Ayaka immediately went toward her while Evan and Sofia hid behind them. Lastly, Tasha teleported herself to the top of the hill.

"Actually, there is another question in my mind."

"Sure. We can answer it for you." Michelle smiled as though the victory was assured.

"Why are you so sure this plan will work out?" Kai smirked and slashed the tree behind him. A magic circle then appeared and launched the tree to the top of the hill. "Sound Blast."

"Be careful!" Michelle shouted.

The snow on top of the hill suddenly fell down as soon as the tree hit a certain spot, creating an avalanche. Kai thought of this when he studied the terrain and thought it would be possible to do it.

"Now! It's time to fight!"
