The Magician of Sound

After settling the plan with Arnaud, Kai finally returned to the school without visiting the hospital. Inside his room, Sofia came to him with a serious expression, asking, "Are you sure you're going to continue with this crazy plan?"

Kai smiled and nodded. "Yes."

There was no doubt in his eyes that he could succeed, making even Sofia ponder the true probability of him reaching Sweden within three days with that insane plan.

"Are you worried?"

"Of course. What is that stupid question…" She shook her head helplessly and placed her hand on his cheek. "It's going to be dangerous, you know."

"It's fine. It's not like I'm planning to defeat a protector inside the sea." Kai shrugged, knowing that the protector wouldn't even think about this plan as he had already known the way to reach Sweden in three days.

"It seems there is no way for me to follow you… Maybe I can freeze a portion of the sea as we continue our way…"

"That's going to be suspicious for the others. Instead, you and Roselyn are to remain here or go for another mission." Kai thought for a moment and continued, "And with Felice's condition, I feel like it's right for Roselyn to visit her."

"So, you want me to watch her from time to time?"

"Yes. Is that too much to ask?"

"Not at all. Although I can't go with you, solving your worries is something I can do."

"Thanks." Kai nodded with a serious expression and looked at her. "There is something I want to tell you."

"What is it? Do you want me to do something?"

"Yes. Can you ask for any information about this Prime Minister? I'm afraid there is someone standing behind him that protects him all the time. That's why I believe it's not the time to make a reckless move by killing him. And if the Prime Minister indeed comes for us, eliminate whoever's behind him. Of course, ask Roselyn for help."

Sofia pondered and nodded not long after. "I understand. I will work together with Arnaud. Besides, grandfather is pressuring the organization that attacks us to prevent any more attacks. It's also a good choice for us to remain here."

"Yes. I will be leaving everything to you."

"Sure."

The next day.

Kai woke up and gave a peck on Sofia's forehead before heading out with minimum equipment.

He gently knocked on Roselyn's door.

When Roselyn opened the door with her sleepy eyes, she lightly rubbed her eyes before finding Kai standing before her.

She looked down and realized she was in her pajamas. She quickly fixed her clothes and asked in a panic. "Wha—What do you want? I mean, do you need anything from me?"

"Yeah. You should have received the mission from Sir Arnaud, right? I want to start the mission right now."

"This early?" Roselyn tilted her head in confusion.

"Yes. Since we don't have much time left, I better go right now." Kai nodded with a serious expression.

"I-I understand." Roselyn repeatedly nodded and quickly grabbed her device, slightly revealing her room.

Kai didn't have any interest in peeping into a maiden room, so he simply took a step back to wait for her.

When Roselyn came out, she showed Kai that the mission had been approved and she just needed to take a record of his departure. "Do you need anything in your mission?"

"No. Since it will be a hard journey, I will only bring my swords and two water bottles to dehydrate myself. It should be enough. Of course, it's preferable that you can send me to Lithuania by helicopter."

Roselyn agreed without hesitation. "That's easy. I will make a simple command for you. Just show it to the base and you will get a ride to Lithuania."

"Thanks." Kai nodded and said, "Also, I would like you to be careful. I don't have anything with me, so I can't help you in this situation…"

"Yes. I will be extra careful for these two weeks."

"That's good." He then patted her shoulder and said, "If something happens, you can contact the Sweden side since I will be back immediately. I don't say this to Sofia because she will surely try to do everything she can to make me not worry, so… I will trust this to you."

Roselyn smiled and looked down, feeling a bit sad. She looked at his eyes and said, "I feel a bit envious…"

Kai tilted his head in confusion and heard Roselyn continue.

"I'm envious that Sofia can actually do everything for the man she loves and you also love her back unconditionally." Roselyn gently stroked her cheek with her finger and said, "Anyway, I shouldn't talk about this since I need to focus on my mission."

Kai didn't know what to say and remained silent. After a while, he had received the document, turned around and said while walking away, "I believe there will be someone right for you."

Roselyn waved her hand with a gentle expression before shaking her head, returning to her room.

Meanwhile, Kai headed straight to the military base to ask for a helicopter to take him to Lithuania. After negotiating with the general and showing the document, the general asked someone to take him there.

Kai was thankful and finished his journey even before 9 AM. It was still in the morning and he could see many soldiers preparing their equipment for the invasion.

Kai, on the other hand, reported to the general in charge and presented him with the mission document. The general said he already knew since Arnaud had told him everything yesterday. He requested that Kai was to be deployed near Latvia so he could do a better job alone.

Since the essence of elite soldiers was fighting alone, the general agreed to him and gave him the location near Latvia's border.

He was tasked to kill all the monsters there before returning to the base to create a small path for them to make a temporary base, connecting Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia in one straight line.

Kai agreed with the mission, believing he could finish it within a few days after visiting Sweden.

Since he had settled everything, Kai saluted him and quickly made his way out of the base, heading straight to the location. However, Kai changed his direction mid-way because he planned to go straight to the shore where he could reach the small island. He already had his plan to cross the sea anyway.

…

After an hour of running, he thought it was enough for him to start his plan.

He suddenly heard a howl and quickly followed the sound, finding ten wolves moving together. The wolves had a blue body that seemed to have mutated from its previous color. Even so, the wolves still had brown fur, making them quite weird wolves.

However, his eyes were fixated on the bigger wolf, whose fur was lighter brown. Its eyes looked into Kai's eyes as if challenging him, but Kai simply smiled and said, "You're the one. I want you to bring me to the shore."

Yes, this was his plan. He wanted to use his ability to communicate and control the monsters to travel across the sea. Although it would be inconvenient to do it to the sea creatures, he planned to use a bird when he reached the shore, allowing him to finally experience flying with a bird.
