The Magician of Sound

During the break, Kai decided to take a bath as suggested by Marsha. Even though he was already dry, he by no means had cleaned himself after fighting against magical beasts and swimming across the sea.

At the same time, he decided to call his teacher again.

"What's up? It's the first time you call me this often."

Hearing Ria's voice, Kai couldn't help but smile. "Well, I actually have a question for you, Teacher."

"Sure. Ask everything."

"Do you have a cure to turn half-human half-beast people?"

"Ah, this…" Ria fell silent for a moment. "Before answering your question, I want to know the reason you're asking me this question."

Kai thought it was fine to let her know, so he began telling her the agreement.

However, Ria's focus was actually elsewhere. She simply praised Kai with a weird tone. "As expected of my disciple, you've surpassed me in endurance alone. Congratulations for becoming the first man swimming across the sea."

"Ahaha, I want to talk about this with you, Teacher, but I am afraid it's not appropriate to talk about it right now."

"I understand." Ria paused for another minute and decided to explain. "The explanation returns to the time I asked you to kill the half-human half-beast. There are two instances… You must remember about the two, right?"

"Yes. One was when there was an escape, and you asked me to take the body with me. The other one was when I killed three innocent people."

Hearing the word "innocent", Ria felt guilty because she had asked her student to do something atrocious.

She took a deep breath and decided to give him her reasoning. "In the former case, the body was taken to my laboratory for further inspection. And as you already know, she became my lab rat. The body has been properly buried now just for your information.

"During the research, I have found the cure. Although it's not perfect right now, I think it's possible to treat those half-human half-beast creatures. There may be some side effects due to you abandoning your humanity once, but his appearance and genes won't affect the future offspring. That's what I've found.

"And I think your strong blood is one of the cures. That's why if you send them here, I can only make the real cure when you've returned. Of course, if you don't want to heal them, I can simply search for an alternative."

Kai was surprised that he was also an ingredient to cure them. He thought for a moment and said, "My teacher is the greatest researcher in the world… She obviously will find a way to cure them without my blood. But time is money, I will give you my blood to cure them. Besides, this is my problem. I'm already shameless enough to ask for your help."

"Haha. That's fine. I'm here to help you." Ria chuckled before recalling another thing. "That's right. I heard you accepted a student, no?"

"Yes. It's not official yet, but this girl is a genius. She may become the best scientist, surpassing you in the future."

"Hoho, you want me to become the number two now that you find the number one in your heart, eh?"

"No, no. Without your guidance, I'm afraid she can't do anything. But if you start talking to her, I am sure you will understand why I want her to be my student."

"I will look forward to our meeting. However, there's one thing I need to suggest in training your disciple. Makes her experience a thousand deaths!"

"Are you planning to traumatize my student?" Kai's eyebrows twitched. "I'm sure you know that I don't want to see you for a decade because of that event, right?"

"But that one was more than ten thousand deaths… I am here asking for less than a tenth. I'm sure I won't ask for something big." Ria Ross shook her head helplessly.

"Well, I know the reason for that training… It's inhumane, but we will see."

"Alright, then. I'm looking forward to it."

"Anyway, I have something to ask too. There's a possibility of collaborations between the US Base and the Union. I wonder if President Brent has an interest. We can slow the curing process to buy enough time to prepare everything, so I think it's a good deal."

"Hmm, I see, so you want to go in that direction. Although I don't mind, beast and human can't be fused… Make sure you don't forget about this. Even the blood in your body is two separate types."

"I know that, but I want to add one thing. I have understood my role after this mission and I want to add one rule. There will be someone with the same ears as me in the future and he can't have this animal blood inside his body." Kai smiled, knowing that a human king should stay purely as a human, not a hybrid like him.

"Well, it can be made into a rule, but I doubt the future generations will heed your warning. Hence, I suggest you make a note for future generations instead. You can publish books and articles to warn future generations. With me as the greatest scientist and your student, the wannabe scientist, I think it will give enough convincing power to the future generations."

"Fair enough. I will do as you suggest." Kai nodded in agreement.

"That's good. So, how is it going? Tasha seems to have received all your Magic Power."

"I can't say much regarding that matter. I just want you to know that you can't defeat me in my current condition and the magic power in Tasha's body won't affect me."

"That's a challenge for me, eh? I don't like it. Do you want to have a fight with me? You should remember the absolute rule in our master and disciple relationship… Rule number one, I, the teacher, am always stronger than my disciple. If I lost against my student, refer back to rule number one. No matter how you've grown, you are like my dearest child."

Kai smiled, feeling happy to know how much she loved him. He already considered her as his godmother in his heart and his parents already knew about Ria Ross, so there might be a time that she and his parents accompanied him in his marriage.

"Anyway, I have understood what you want to ask from the president. I will give you a reply in a few minutes. And don't forget to send the little kid to my place because I want to see her…"

"She will come only a year later. You should be patient."

"Don't worry. I waited for you for a decade, one year is just a blink of an eye to me."

"Ahaha…" Kai scratched the back of his head, feeling that no matter how hard he tried to talk with her, he would be the one losing. It happened every single time.

"Alright. I shouldn't bother you any longer. Just stay safe there and I am missing you here."

"I miss you too, Teacher. Say hello to the others for me, will you?"

"Sure. Bye-bye."

"Yep, bye." Kai then finished his bath and changed to a new set of clothes before getting an "OK" from the president.

But due to the complexity of this matter, the president required a few months to finalize the contract. As long as the other party could agree, they didn't mind signing it right away.

After getting the reply he wanted, Kai confronted Marsha once again.
