The Magician Of Sound Chapter 358

When everything had finished, it was time for Kai to return to his home. He was walking outside Ria's house and stopped to take another look at her.
"Teacher. Don't forget to eat, sleep, and take care of your health. I know that you are going to be skipping meals again after this. I—"
"Alright, alright. I know what you want to say. It's annoying." Ria closed his mouth with her hand. "Want me to report every single thing I did to you?"
Kai fell silent before stepping backward to release himself. "Then, I should go back now."
"Yeah." Ria nodded while looking at the taxi that would bring him to the airport.
Seeing her gentle expression one last time, he was satisfied and turned around, walking to the taxi. He put down his luggage and came in before his teacher called his name. "Kai."
Stunned for a second, he opened the window and stared at her.
Ria put on a big smile and waved her hand. "It's the best three months."
Kai couldn't contain his smile and said, "Take care of yourself."
Ria nodded and turned around as Kai finally left her house.
Meanwhile, he wasn't the only one coming back today. The others happened to be having their own goodbye with the ones that took care of them.
Ayaka and Tasha were standing in front of a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman. The man had a big muscle which was Paolo's characteristic.
Yes, these two had been hopping from one battlefield to another, testing every single kind of battlefield. They learned many things about any different kind of situation and understood their roles.
Of course, it didn't mean they only pursued experiences here. They kept practicing their new magic, so they didn't lack the power to keep up with the others. There was no doubt in their eyes that the others would become so much stronger.
Beside Paolo, Erica patted both their shoulders before hugging them. "It's our blessing to have both of you in our base. It's a good one month."
"Thank you for taking care of us, Commander Erica. I can confidently say that this base gave us the most learning experiences." Ayaka smiled and hugged her back.
"Indeed. I might be coming back here soon." Tasha backed her claim with her own situation.
"Is that so? Then, I am looking forward to our next meeting." She nodded before releasing them.
After that, they looked at commander Paolo before turning to the soldiers around the base and waving their hands. "Thank you for all of you."

"Uoh!"
The boys and girls became crazy. It seemed they had become a celebrity in this base after what they did in the base. They even stopped whatever they were doing just to see them off.
Paolo walked toward them with a smile and said, "Look at them. Not only the boys but the girls are also smitten by both of you. Well, I can't say anything about it since everything is due to your contribution. You have indeed helped us all, so we are really grateful."
"No, no. We just did what we were supposed to do. There is no such thing about students from the Magic School, the Military School, or even an independent Soldier Trainee. We all are the soldiers of this base. That's all about it." Ayaka shook her head, putting on a genuine smile.
"Yes. We have endured it together and emerged victorious." Tasha repeatedly nodded before looking at Paolo.
"You two…" Paolo smiled before shouting at the soldiers in the base after finding them ogling these two figures. "Hey, you guys. Don't think about it. You won't be able to take their hearts. Besides, you can't be compared to the boy they love! Give up. That's my advice."
The guys started screaming and showing their unwillingness while the girl kept saying whether they had a chance as well.
Regardless, the situation turned warmer.
"Anyway, I have both of your contacts along with your guy and that Ria Ross. Maybe it will be something we need in the future, but for now…" Paolo fell silent and his expression turned serious. Erica seemed to notice what he wanted to do and became serious as well.
Suddenly, Paolo saluted and said. "It's our pleasure to have you here. Thank you for your service."
Erica followed him instantly.
Ayaka and Tasha were startled at first, but the soldiers seemed to have picked up the intention of their highest commands, Paolo and Erica. The atmosphere became serious and silent before every single of the soldiers gave them a salute and shouted together. "Thank you for your service!"
The voices were one, giving it a nice ring in one's ears.
Ayaka and Tasha were overwhelmed by the favor and saluted back.
After two seconds, Paolo put down his hand before everyone followed suit.
"Take care then." Paolo smiled.
Ayaka and Tasha nodded and turned around, walking to the helicopter, whose loud sound got overwhelmed by the shouts.
After closing the helicopter's door, they flew to the sky while waving their hands until they couldn't see the base anymore.

At the same time, in the EU Base international airport, Evan stood before a middle-aged woman. Her beautiful hair was tied into a ponytail, giving a vibe of a serious person. However, what she showed to the public was the complete opposite.
She hugged Evan to the point she clung to him while saying. "How about we extend another month?! Right, right. I can use my authority to have them lend you one more month. Look here. You are the perfect fit to be my successor. Besides, my little angel is taking a liking to you.
"How about coming to my house again and living there? I still have many things that I can teach you. You must want to do it, right?" She desperately tried to convince him to stay, but Evan only grabbed her and pushed her away.
He dropped her to the ground and took a few steps back while putting one of his hands in front of him to deflect any kind of "danger."
"What are you doing? As I said, I already have someone that I will marry in the near future. Besides, I am a Zodiac. It's hard to produce an heir for various reasons! And don't think about me living here. I am going to suffocate soon because of—" Before he finished his words, a young ten years old girl hugged him from behind tightly.
"You are leaving Leisa here? You brute!"
"What—" Evan became even more troubled, never expecting that the little girl came. When he found a butler that had been taking care of him near them, he realized that the little girl came here with another car.
"Why are you here?"
"Leisa just wants to stay together with big brother Evan." She pouted.
"No. You are going to stay here. Besides, you know that I already have someone!"
"Don't worry. Leisa learned it from Mother. And Leisa can make something so we all can be drunk in pleasure."
"Oi, you old hag. What the heck are you teaching to your ten years old daughter?!" Evan shouted.
"I am teaching her everything." Her tone was filled with pride as if she didn't do something wrong.
"As expected, all your brain fluid is poison, not water anymore!" Evan then tried to break free from the little girl, but her grip became even tighter, not wanting to leave him.
Evan was in front of a huge cliff. When Isabelle knew about this, there was no doubt that she would kill him even though he did nothing wrong during his stay here.
"Hoho, look at you. All of you can't stay calm." Suddenly, an old man walked with Sofia. Yeah, he was Sofia's grandfather, the one that had taught her this whole time. He only glanced at Evan and the little girl before making a smug smile.
"What?! Do you want to taste my poison, you old sh*t?!" Evan's teacher turned into her drill mode again as if she wanted to challenge him.
"This is why you can't keep him here." The old man shook his head in disappointment before turning to his granddaughter. "Remember. Our Campbell Family is one that family that couldn't be underestimated. If you are pregnant, everything can be solved easily."
"…" Sofia facepalmed and shook her head helplessly.
"What?! It seems your little girl can't even do something you request. This is why you old man is incompetent." Evan's teacher used this chance to mock him again.
"Hoh? Even though you haven't heard my proposal." The old man had a slight grin before saying. "I want a powerful aphrodisiac, so I can ship them to the US Base. My daughter can use it after that. Do the deed first, and everything will follow. And with that, we can slowly get your student to be here with his help."
"Hoh?" The idea piqued her interest.
Sofia and Evan couldn't contain their voice and corrected them at the same time. "Oi. You two know that we are here, right?"
"Mother, mother! Can Leisa take part in this plan too?!" The little girl ran to her mother and raised her hand cutely.
However, Sofia and Evan already ran away from them. Evan didn't forget to shout. "I am not a pedophile!"
When Leisa heard that, she turned around. Instead of crying because Evan escaped, she only put both hands on her cheek and looked down like a maiden in love. "Then, I can still do it a few years from now."
Both Sofia and Evan were stupefied as Sofia couldn't help but comment while running away. "Alright. We have a sex criminal here."

Kind’s Kiss
MAGIC DOESN'T KILL, NOT BY ITSELF. IT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. Jessica DeRidder is a substitute teacher and mage in hiding, her daughter Ellen a killer on the run. Their next job lands the mother-daughter team in Hellhole, a small town in the middle of nowhere. All they need to do is their job. For Mom to identify the problem, and for Ellen to... fix it. Easy. Simple. But not this time. The pair find themselves caught in the struggle between the Man-in-White and the Wicked Witch of the West. A mysterious image and the theft of a deadly flower lead the pair to a score of dead prisoners, magical drug dealers, and red-eyed assassins falling from the sky. And somehow it all seems to be related to Ellen's murky past. All Ellen wants to do is do her homework, eat ice cream, and protect her newfound friends (not necessarily in that order). She'll go all-in, guns blazing. But when the smoke clears there may be nothing left but a stranger's past and a lonely future. --- 'Kind's Kiss' is a light, modern-day fantasy, easy on the magic, heavy on the snark. Though complete it is still a work in progress. One reviewer described it as 'Buffy meets Sabrina, as done by Tarantino'. I'm still not sure if I should consider that a compliment or hire a hitman :-)
