The Magician of Sound

Chapter 462 - Discussion



After finishing his call with Ria Ross, he noticed the different breathing rhythm from both Sofia and Roselyn, knowing they had woken up.

"Hmm…" Sofia let out a weak moan as if she just got a good nap before gradually opening her eyes, watching Kai's back. "Kai?"

Roselyn quickly woke up, rose from the ground, and looked around as if she thought she made a blunder. But after confirming the place was safe, she calmed down and let out a breath of relief.

"You two have finally woken up." Kai smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

Roselyn and Sofia exchanged looks and nodded. "We don't have a problem. Although there is a gap between my memories, I have this memory telling me that I'm going to forget a few things because I've followed you to a certain place. And my strength has been strengthened to a certain degree."

Kai nodded. "Yeah. What your memory told you is right. Unfortunately, I can't say anything to you just yet… Forgive me."

"No worries. I can somehow understand your stance with the scrambled memories." She made a gentle smile, telling him it was alright.

Meanwhile, Roselyn thought of another thing. In her memory, the one thing that Arnaud mentioned about her becoming an S Rank Magician flashed in her mind. She just couldn't get over the shock that Kai had done all these favors to her.

"Ehm, thank you, Kai."

"No need to thank me. No, you've thanked me enough." Kai waved his hand, asking her to stop. "Although I want to ask you more about this matter, I guess we need to return to the base first."

The two girls agreed without hesitation and nodded their heads.

"Sure. Let's return."

The two then went to the nearest base before confirming their identity and their purpose. After getting all their information, they finally flew to the sky with a helicopter and went back to the school.

Arnaud and Jules had been notified too by Kai as they quickly arrived in front of the school to see both girls.

"Grandfather!" Sofia hugged Jules. Although she had prepared for the memory loss, she still felt insecure when she faced it herself.

Jules also understood it since both he and Arnaud felt weird when there was a gap in their memory. They even took their time to drink together every now and then just to confirm that they were fine.

Roselyn, on the other hand, lowered her head to Arnaud. "Thank you for everything, Sir."

Arnaud shook his head and said, "No. You've achieved everything by yourself. There is no luck in the process. The fact that you could become someone noticeable for me in both strength and attitude was your effort. The fact that Kai has chosen you over anyone else was also the opportunity that you've attained yourself. No need to thank me."

"Still, everything would be useless if I didn't have a great mentor like you." She smiled.

Arnaud ultimately nodded his head before taking out a document, handing it to her. "Take this."

"!!!" Roselyn's heart beat rapidly as she wondered if this document was what she thought it was. She gulped down and took the document carefully as she didn't want to ruin it.

When she opened the document and read it for a few seconds, she was stunned and looked at Arnaud.

Arnaud only smiled at her and placed his hand on her shoulders. "Congratulations for becoming an S Rank Magician. You're now allowed to choose your own mission and create your own family. Even if you want to bring all the kids over, it's your choice. Since you're like me, the Union will pay for the expense for a certain amount.

"Also, you have the right to decline a mission too as long as there is an appropriate reason. Most of all, you're going to be my second in command for the time being until you know what you want to do and what position you want to achieve.

"After a bit more training in that aspect to match the jobs, you will truly attain that position. Of course, we need to check your prowess first before giving you a rank in the military. We can schedule it next time or over text, so we will talk about it later."

Arnaud ended the conversation by extending his hand with a gentle smile on his face as if he was watching his own daughter. "Still, the most important thing I need to say… Congratulations, Roselyn. I'm proud of you."

Roselyn leaped and hugged him to express his joy. "Thank you!"

"Haha! You're too happy." Arnaud chuckled before turning to Kai. "I don't know what happened, but I have informed the Union about it. For the time being, they won't take any action, but there is always a hidden threat. I want you to be careful from now on. Well, with your power, you won't need to fear anyone to be honest, but just in case. Roselyn will continue her job to be your supervisor in this base until you leave the base."

"Yeah, sure. I don't mind." Kai nodded and smiled at Roselyn. "Congrats."

"Thank you."

Kai then asked, "Is there a big chance with the current plan because of these circumstances?"

"No. Everything will go according to the contract. But I guess it's still indirectly implying that it's impossible to direct you. In other words, those people will just tell you to do something and how do you want to do it, it's your choice. There won't be any reinforcement as well because you don't need it. No, in fact, they will just become your burden."

"Ahaha, I won't say it like that." Kai shook his head. "Anyway, I will be fine from now on, so no need to worry. Just tell me if something happens."

"Sure thing." Arnaud nodded. "Well, most of the information will go through Roselyn. And since she has become an S Rank Magician, she has gained so many information accesses, allowing her to say everything to you. Of course, I hope that you don't pressure her to give you important questions."

"Haha, I'm not a spy or a double agent, so I won't go to sensitive things." Kai shook his head. "By the way, is there any movement from suspicious organizations?"

"Hmm…" Arnaud looked down, pondering. "There are several movements, but mostly from small thugs around here. Well, we can easily monitor them, so it's fine. Besides, Roselyn has the privilege to kill them too if they're aiming for your lives.

"As for the large organizations, I don't think they've made a move. Maybe… Just maybe… they will as soon as you leave this base for a mission. That's why I'm going to postpone any activity to three days later after Roselyn and Sofia receive their new ranks.

"We can have them to be the "superior" and "order" you to do something. This way, you won't need to listen to other people and just do what you want to do. To be honest, the fact that Roselyn has gotten stronger is enough for me and the base, but hey, people are greedy. You need to watch out… Well, your ears won't let something like that happen anyway, so…" Arnaud shrugged since he didn't care about the fate of those who tried to mess with Kai. The latter had enough strength to destroy this base, so why would he go all the way to offend him just to save a few useless lives who did bad things despite humanity's suffering.

"Sounds good enough for me." Kai asked, "Can I see the assessment too? I'm kind of curious."

"I'm afraid that is not possible. First, we can't afford to give you any information related to the military other than in an emergency. Second, the assessment won't take a long time, so I hope you can just stay in the school during the meantime. I can be your partner if you want."

Kai waved his hand and thought about another thing. He pointed at Jules and said, "I think I will just go with him and have a spar until they're done."

"Oh?!" Jules's eyes brightened as he nodded. "Sure, sure. Come to Campbell Family Mansion. I'm fired up."

"Then, I think we're done here." Arnaud nodded and turned to Roselyn. "How about you return to your home first? I think the kids will be overjoyed with your news. Haha! Don't worry. They are fine. I made sure they're fine."

Roselyn contemplated for a moment and agreed. "Yes. I think they will be happy with this news. I will return home for now. Though I can't really stay with them for the night due to our limitations, it's fine."

"Hahaha! I can get you special access though. No, you're already an S Rank Magician, so you have that right." Arnaud shrugged. "By the way, I forgot about your document, Sofia Campbell. Essentially, you've also become an S Rank Magician, but we still need some approvals along with the power test from the military. The official information update will go together with your ranks later."

"I don't need the ranks." She pouted and looked away, muttering, "I'm going to sneak out again after this anyway."

Kai chuckled, feeling that she would just go to the US Base after he left this place. Considering Kai already gave a powerful Roselyn that was stronger than Jules and Arnaud combined, they shouldn't be hateful and let go of Sofia.

Roselyn suddenly tugged his hand and looked at him shyly. "Ehm… I would like to thank you personally… Do you happen to have time? I would like to invite you to my home."

Kai thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure. I don't have any plans right now."

"That's great." Roselyn smiled brightly.
