The Magician Of Sound

Chapter 400 - King Of The Sea

A few days later, Kai and his family were relaxing on the sofa. Because they had nothing to do, they looked for the news on their TV.

It turned out that the news airing right now was related to Kai's achievement in the field.

The first one was when they interviewed the student council president, who happened to be helping him during the battle as a commander.

She smiled and explained. "When I saw him roaming around the battlefield, I would never expect that someone could bring an army of soldiers that had never fought with each other before in perfect harmony. He led the army with the casualty that I would have never thought was possible. Even my Grandfather quickly praised him as soon as I returned home."

"What was the most noticeable impact he brought during the battlefield?"

"In my opinion, it was when he led the soldiers. His power was far above the rest, marching forward while killing the magical beasts without getting slowed down. In fact, most of his soldiers had a hard time keeping up with him despite them being together and following him from behind.

"That might also be the reason why the soldiers adored him. He fought bravely and tirelessly in the frontline, making us not want to lose to him, albeit, in the end, we ended up agreeing that he had beaten us."

Not long after, the screen was switched to a reporter asking a student for their experience with a similar question to Laura.

"Back then, I managed to get chosen as one of the vanguards when our fortress had yet to be completed. He led fifteen thousand people and stopped hundreds of thousands. Not only that, but he also killed so many beasts by himself and never showed any weakness in front of us. I felt that it wasn't a matter of rivalry anymore. I just didn't want to be a burden to him. That was just how good the commander was. Just thinking about it made me feel goosebump every now and then."

This time, it was a group of soldiers that got interviewed.

The first soldier claimed, "Commander Brad Matthew was already an offensive style general, but Kai Carter surpassed him in that regard. He never wavered and got stopped by the magical beasts no matter the condition. He even perfectly planned everything and had several backup plans when the first plan failed. I wish to fight under him again."

The second soldier said, "He led us during the first day, but because the center position got ambushed by the enemy, Commander Kai Carter needed to bring reinforcement there, so I couldn't really say what happened during that time. However, I kept listening to my comrade from the center position and never thought that a student was capable of achieving such a thing."

Because of the second testament, the reporter now grabbed a soldier from the center position who Brad Matthew led on the first day.

"On the second day, we got ambushed by three intelligence beasts that seemed to be a new type, considering they could use magic like us. The details are still under investigation, so I can't give you any information. As for what happened during that day, the most memorable one was when Commander Kai Carter appeared on the battlefield as the reinforcement.

"Commander Brad and Dun had trouble in fighting the three new type beasts, but everything was resolved under a few minutes as soon as he arrived. He was the first to kill the new type, allowing Commander Dun to protect us."

Suddenly, another soldier came and denied his claim. "No, no. If you are talking about the most memorable one is when three mutants came. Commander Rain and the Lion group took on the two while Kai Carter and his sister fought together with the giant.

"When they were together, they had perfect coordination to the point that the enemy couldn't do anything. In fact, this enemy had a giant body that could kill thousands of people in a few minutes with that giant body, so Commander Kai Carter and his sister were saving us by beating that guy. I would treasure this memory forever."

The reporters kept asking many people, but those who were in the house, staring at each other.

Tasha grinned and teased him. "Commander Kai Carter is the best, eh? Even people only knew me as your sister, not as an S Rank Magician."

Kai gently scratched his cheek with a weird smile. "I only did my best."

"Haha, should mom cook something for celebration?" She smiled.

"That's right. We should celebrate this." Tasha nodded in agreement. "Let's go shopping, mom."

"Sure." She nodded as the two quickly left the house with enthusiasm.

Unlike the two, James had a smile on his face, but overall, he was pretty serious when staring at Kai.

Kai turned to him with a serious expression, knowing that he wanted to say something. "Dad…"

James let out a long sigh, leaned on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling. "Thank you, Kai."

"What do you mean, Dad?" Kai tilted his head in confusion. "I only did my best as a son, nothing else. Why thank you?"

"Look at your mom's smile. The reason she can smile is not that your achievement is amazing, but because we can gather here again despite achieving so many things. I will be lying if we say we are not proud of you, but above all, we just want the family to be together.

"Many people work hard for money, but they end up sacrificing their family and not having time to spend with their family whether they are their children or parents. That's why your mom can smile today."

"Dad…" Kai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then he realized he couldn't come up with the sentence. He felt that his brain worked perfectly during the battlefield, but when it came to family, he was completely clueless.

His father's lesson was so important to him because he understood what family meant. Kai couldn't contain his smile. "Thank you, Dad. No matter what, I will have time for family."

James nodded with a smile. "That's good. Besides, you have achieved one of your dreams, right?"

"Dream?"

"Yes. It's about Tasha. You have become someone big enough to protect her."

"Ah." Kai remembered how Tasha teased him. By making others look at him more than anyone else was also another type of protection for Tasha. Combined with his current rank in the military, not many would try to do anything funny to his sister. Kai genuinely felt relieved for the first time as he leaned back, following what his father did.

Everything felt lifted up from his shoulders as he couldn't help but say, "Ah, this is bliss. To think that relaxing is this enjoyable."

"Haha…Rest well. No matter what you do, Mom and Dad will be here waiting for you to come home." James was happy with how Kai developed to this day. "You and Tasha will always be our pride."

"Thanks."

Contrary to this relaxed atmosphere, under the sea, the situation was intense, as if someone choked your neck.

The turtle and the octopus were kneeling in front of the mermaid princess. Many other protectors were watching this scene because they never expected that the turtle would come back in this state.

"Can you tell me what happened?" The princess asked.

They were on a small square stone platform. On the three sides were seats sat by the other protectors. As expected, a few were missing due to Kai killing them.

"Kai Carter is stronger than ever. I believe that his power will soon catch up to us. His group has so much progress too, allowing them to stop me. And if we add the fact that they keep helping each other, it means that they will soon reach our level as well, though, it won't be as fast as Kai Carter."

After telling the conclusion, he began telling the whole story from the beginning, especially how Kai Carter and Tasha Carter killed Serta. The protectors were in an uproar as they never expected Kai to be this strong.

However, the mermaid princess had another point of view. She focused on Tasha instead of Kai. "That Space Magic…I don't think she is a Space Magician. Her power is closer to that human in the west. If I am not wrong, his name is…"

Before she finished, a middle-aged man's voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"Rapakha Barabas."

The princess's body shook and the other protectors turned silent. They stared at the last side of the platform, which only had one grand seat.

The one, who sat on that empty seat, had a tail like that of a snake, but his upper half was a fish. The upper half had so many spikes all over its back.

"Your Majesty." The princess bowed politely.

"To think that man is moving despite getting watched by that old hag. It means that they have met him, which probably they came to Easter Island, not the other way around." The king, AKA the real protector, closed his eyes. "That man's sealing magic is extraordinary because it can even seal our power."

"Do you have a suggestion to us, Your Majesty?"

"My power has yet to be completed. I need another one or two years. For now, you should harass them from time to time to halt Kai Carter's progress. I don't know his situation, but as expected of the Human Race's Protector. He is dangerous."

"I understand. I shall be the one leading the army next time."

"Good. Don't make it too often because that old hag might find out about this. If that happens, all of our efforts will go in vain."

"I shall plan everything for you, Your Majesty." She nodded with a serious expression.

The king nodded with a grim expression as if he was thinking something.
