The Magician of Sound

Kai took a deep breath, listening to every person in this place. It would seem each respective fight had begun.

He pointed at Isabelle with his sword, telling him that the blade would soon kill her.

"Heh…" Isabelle smirked as she aimed her sniper rifle at him. She also wished to have a fight against him alone, not caring about the others' fights. She channeled her magic power to her sniper rifle, making it shine.

She pulled the trigger, shooting out a green bullet toward him. This bullet was made by wind, making it faster than the average bullet.

It arrived at Kai within two seconds from the previous three seconds. Unfortunately, Kai heard the sound and simply took a step to the right, avoiding the bullet completely.

"I see. A hearing powerful enough to predict my bullet trajectory. Well, If he comes closer, it will be harder to react as my bullet would arrive in an instant. I am wondering how he will proceed." Isabelle smiled as she kept shooting him.

On the other hand, his beastly instinct came out as he started running toward her.

Every time she pulled the trigger, his ear would pick up and predict the trajectory, letting him avoid it without a waste movement.

Kai's advance was unstoppable as even though she had fired more than ten bullets, she had yet to hit him or even graze him once.

And with another two minutes, Kai finally arrived at the one-kilometer mark, needing a bit more before climbing the artificial hill.

…

Meanwhile, the people outside also created a ruckus.

"What is this? She has shooted him ten times, but no bullet has managed to hit him. Isabelle Fisher is the number one sniper in our Magical Academy and to think she can't hit him. Is she playing a game with us and would turn the tide later?" Diego shouted.

"No. She just simply can't hit him. I won't go into details, but you can say he can easily dodge the bullet. It's just… I don't exactly know his limit, so with the distance keep getting shorter, the bullet that needs two or three seconds to hit him now only needs one second or less." Yuki commented.

"He can just hold her back in this distance and wait for the others to finish their respective battle and defeat Isabelle Fisher together. Is this their plan?" Diego asked Yuki.

"No. I don't know why, but I feel that Kai Carter would finish her by himself. In order to do that, he would need a plan in climbing the artificial hill," She answered.

"A plan… Wait… with his comrades having their own respective opponents, there won't be any help coming from them so he could advance the hill. Even a normal person like me knows it… except he already has another plan that I can't think of."

Yuki nodded. "That's right. I feel he already has another plan to climb the hill. The fact that he clubs the hill himself, he must be assured that he will win this fight. In other words, for Isabelle, who is well versed in reading her opponent with her eyes, she should know that without revealing her trump card, she will certainly fall to Kai's secret plan."

Albeit… despite all their commentary, when they took a look at Isabelle, she just smiled.

After reaching the one-kilometer mark, she did not shoot him anymore. Instead, she gave him precious time to reach the foot of the hill.

This made Kai doubt whether she had something ready for him on this hill. Seeing that she would not shoot if he did not come up, he could only proceed carefully.

She made a bigger smile, looking at Kai, who started climbing the hill. She stretched her left hand and surprisingly took out a second sniper rifle.

"If you can dodge one, how about two?" She smirked, shooting both snipers at the same time.

"!!!" Kai also noticed the sound, making him leap to the air. Unfortunately, this was her plan. As soon as he was in the air, she shot another round of bullets.

Kai opened his eyes wide, noticing a weird trajectory of the bullets. According to his ears, the two bullets would likely crash to each other a few meters before reaching him.

Although he did not understand her plan, he turned his body around, avoiding the bullets' original trajectories. It was when the bullet collided Kai realized her plan.

When the bullets collided with each other, both of them would deflect each other, making another trajectory. And their new trajectory was his head and foot.

Kai gritted his teeth as he forced his hands to move, barely blocking these two bullets. Even so, it did not hold enough power to receive the impact and the bullets blew him away to the bottom of the cliff.

Diego rose from his seat and roared. "What? What? What? Two… two sniper rifles? Did she just use two Sniper Rifles?"

The normal students gasped while the top groups sweatdropped.

Yuki shook her head helplessly, saying, "It would seem that we have underestimated Isabelle Fisher this whole time. If you look at it carefully, you will notice that Kai knew there would be two bullets coming at him.

"Despite that, why does he need to use his swords to block the bullets? The answer is simple; within these two bullets hold a great secret that could change their trajectories. And I am sure Kai has noticed it too that with the collision, the bullets change their trajectories."

The people could only drop their jaws in shock. They never heard someone could utilize a sniper rifle that extreme.

Kai, who was blown away to the bottom, had another problem he needed to solve.

He looked at Isabelle while wiping the blood on his mouth. "This is not in the data…"

Isabelle simply smiled as her eyes turned into eagle eyes and she said, "I am wondering if you can reach my place, Leo? If you can't even reach my place, then you can't win. Why don't you show me the power of the great lion?"

Obviously, she said that to taunt him. Because of those words, Kai's expression turned serious.

Though he could not see her eyes, he felt the beastly aura coming from the top of the hill. It seemed she had accepted that power completely.

He furrowed his eyebrow. It was certainly one of the top-level techniques to even pinpoint the trajectory, but it still had a weakness. For that, he took another deep breath and advanced again, trying to confirm that weakness.

Isabelle aimed at him again, trying to make him jump again.

Hearing the bullets, he took up the challenge and leaped. The bullet changed its directions again, but Kai had prepared for it and was able to block it. Although, because of the force, he was blown away again, he was able to come up with a feasible plan in climbing the hill.

There was a slight change in his expression and Isabelle did not miss it. That slight change was telling her that he had a way to climb this hill. She simply smiled. "Come."

Kai began climbing it for the third time and Isabelle shot him again, forcing him to jump. Surprisingly, this time, Kai did not jump. Instead, he stomped the ground, creating a stable footing in the uneven ground. Using that, he turned his body around and used his extraordinary strength to destroy both bullets.

Since he had a good footing, he managed to block the bullets entirely, not letting them push him back to the ground.

"!!!" Isabelle furrowed her eyebrows and pulled the trigger again.

Kai noticed that the bullets would change their trajectories again, so he predicted where the bullet would go. Even if he could not block one of them, he could block one of them and keep advancing. That was why when the bullet came, he shifted his body to the left and struck the bullet with his sword.

He smiled and climbed the hill with confidence. When he reached the two hundred meter mark, Isabelle smirked. "Let's see how you handle this one then."

This time, she only used one of her sniper rifles and created a magic circle right in front of the rifle.

"!!!" This made his beastly instinct roar inside of him, telling him no matter what it was, it would be dangerous. Kai raised his hands, creating a green magic circle.

"Oscillation Shield."

"Plasma Wind!"

The shot this time was like a laser, but if one looked closely, it was a concentrated shot of a few small wind tornadoes. The tornadoes were compressed together, creating a far stronger attack.

The coalition immediately pushed Kai's back for a few meters. Luckily, he had gotten back ten percent of his magic power or this shield would break. He reinforced the shield and let the Oscillation force around his shield to do their job. They slowly chipped away bit by bit the wind energy until it reached a reasonable point and Kai then deflected it to the sky.

"!!!" Everyone dropped their jaws as they could not believe what just happened. Sadly, unlike the audiences, Kai and Isabelle still needed to fight.

Kai started advancing again, not letting her shoot another one.

When there were around fifty meters between them, Isabelle jumped to the air and floated around, at a height where Kai could not reach her. She aimed her sniper toward Michelle with the last attack again.

Kai furrowed his eyebrows as he heard her saying, "Hahaha… As expected of Leo, making me even curious about you. Although I have lost in this fight, our group will still win this battle. I will kill your teammates one by one first. Fufu… we still have that agreement anyway, so I can't afford to lose."

Kai looked up and sighed.
