The Magician Of Sound

"Kh…" Kai narrowed his eyes, looking at Arba with a serious expression. "Just one set of attack patterns made me like this…"

Arba simply smiled and said, "This is just a start. Would you like to stop now?"

Kai gritted his teeth and rose from the ground, "Let's go for the second round. I'm not done yet and I'm planning to defeat you."

"That's good. I hope you can defeat me soon. Still, I just realized this… After feeling your magic earlier, you seem to have so few Magic Particles in your body."

Kai frowned and shook his head.

"I see. It seems you were born with the Magic Power, but there was something that made you lose it."

"It's to protect someone I love. Fair trade." Kai shook his head before making a serious expression as if telling her that not a single insult could she utter to that person. Of course, how could he accept if Tasha was getting berated in front of him?

"Don't worry. I won't repeat the same mistake twice. I won't say anything ridiculous since it's your choice." Arba waved her hand, telling him that he didn't need to worry.

Kai nodded and raised his swords. "Then, I'm going again."

"Come."

Kai then launched himself with the Sound Blast again, spun his body, and sent a round kick from above.

When she was about to block it, she saw a magic circle appear. The Magic Circle created a vibration for the shoe, strong enough to cause a Sonic Boom.

It boosted the power behind Kai's kick, and surprisingly, Arba needed to summon four Magic Circles. One each on the right elbow and the left one, another below her butt to push her up to the air while the other one supported her entire posture on her back.

A crack appeared on the ground before the power released its true might, turning the crack into a five meters wide crater.

However, Kai understood that the one who made the crater was not him. It was Arba.

Right before the hit connected, Arba realized the power behind his kick and raised her own foot. Using the power from his kick as well as her own power, she created a small crater on the ground, leaning below the surface, making his kick miss its target.

"That's a good kick to be honest. If your swords are your sharpest ones, then your shoes are the strongest." Arba complimented Kai with a smile. She knew that it was something amazing to even use something like that because Kai had yet to understand how to manipulate the flow of energy. T

She took a deep breath and said, "I can see why you're among the strongest. In any case, I have realized that you seem to have no knowledge about what's happening around you. May I know the extent of your knowledge?"

"Nothing. I don't have any information. Please treat me as such." Kai slightly lowered his head and looked at this woman.

Arba seemed to be understanding and said, "Anyway, I don't have a plan to go all out because I'm afraid of destroying this place. I can't say anything about my power, but it's quite good, you know."

"Yeah. I know." Kai nodded before using Arba's hands to launch him back to the air.

When he was about to get counterattacked, Kai managed to escape by launching himself into the sky again. While hovering in the air, he thought for a moment about how to defeat Arba, considering both of his strongest magic just got deflected that easily.

After contemplating for a while, he landed on the ground and closed his eyes, raising his hands. "Let's stop."

Even Arba widened her eyes, never expecting Kai to actually give up just like this even though he wanted to defeat her.

"Seriously?" Arba blinked her eyes a few times.

"Yes. I know your power. I hate to say it, but I don't have the slightest chance to win against you."

"Ehm, I have never expected you to give up this easily, especially since you're the Protector." She scratched the back of her head, wondering if she thought Kai that highly.

"Why would I waste my time to do something that is not possible? And it does not require me to fight to the death, so rather than wasting my time here, I would like to start my training instead." Kai shook his head.

"Well, you're not wrong… Though I still wish you would fight a bit longer."

"Nope." Kai waved his hand a few times, telling her the answer remained the same. Of course, fighting would be a way to gain experience, but from the two exchanges, he concluded a few things.

"First of all, there's something I am severely lacking. I've realized my poor choice of magic, especially about my current magic set. First of all, I don't have a glove to do the same as my feet, making you able to focus on my shoes alone. Although it's true that I'm holding a sword, it can be another weapon that can be utilized properly.

"That's why I would like to learn this method as soon as possible, so I don't need the boots and gloves at the same time while releasing the same power. Second, this directional attack thing is really good. When I fought you, I kept preparing myself for your attack. For example, your wind attack that could be programmed to loop around me and hit me in the back is extremely dangerous in my opinion, so it takes a lot of my focus just to make sure nothing goes around me.

"After all, if you start employing tactics in your movement, it's going to be even more troublesome. Last but not least, I haven't asked you this yet. What is your strength compared to any other human in this world?"

Arba smirked and answered his question without hesitation. "The very best. No one will be able to defeat me even if all the top fighters in this world join hands. Of course, you're going to be stronger than me in the near future."

Kai narrowed his eyes and asked, "How is your strength compared to our enemy?"

"Hmm…" She thought for a moment and said, "I will take the Mermaid Princess as an example. Ten of her will be able to defeat me. But I have heard you won against the turtle, right?"

"Yes." Kai nodded.

"Actually no!" Arba shook her head. "The Turtle hasn't used all of his strength. There is also another one serving directly to the king and he is the true strongest aide. My strength is exactly at his level. We're meant to be the strongest helper of the Protector, even though our strength will be much lower when the Protector reaches the peak."

"I see. But you don't have any intention of leaving this place, no?"

"Well, if My King can take me as your concubine, I will be more than happy to leave." Arba smiled, only to get another cold glare from Kai. She stuck her tongue out and said, "Well, the earlier statement is not a lie. Anyway, what I'm saying is, I will leave… But it's only at the last battle. We can't afford to have our real identity discovered yet because they will do everything they can to erase us, meaning erasing the evidence."

Kai closed his eyes and understood the importance of their lives. He nodded in agreement. "I understand that. Don't worry. Although it hurts to see my girlfriend get her memory erased, I still need to see the bigger picture in this current situation."

"That's why this is something that we can't change even if we need to confront you." She shook her head in disappointment. "Anyway, let's talk about it."

"Yeah. Please teach me how to get stronger, O' Strongest Human." Kai smirked.

Arba smiled. "Thank you. Alright. Now that we're discussing this, I will be telling you about the real way to control your Magic Power. It's…"
