The Magician of Sound

Chapter 76 - Test

Kai and Michelle then visited the Carter family's new house. It was a humble family house not far from the Graham family's mansion.

This house had several purposes. First, it was for their family to be separated from the Graham family. After all, it wouldn't be comfortable to stay in someone's house for so long even though they were your in-laws. Michelle and Michael could understand this, so they suggested a few houses to them, and they accepted one of them.

Secondly, if they were to stay in the Graham family's mansion, they would have to do everything together, and it would practically restrict their freedom. And the last reason was that it was close to their school.

They were visiting his new house to meet Tasha and seal his power. If he didn't seal his power, he might be targeted for it.

Kai observed the house and nodded his head. He had no objections to this house as it looked pretty comfortable and not really noisy. Michelle then took him inside. Kai was baffled. He didn't expect her to have the key to his house.

"Why do you have a key?"

"I was the one who suggested the house, how could I not have it?" She made a smug smile.

"You're not… going to sneak in, right?" Kai asked while looking at the key.

"Do you think a lock can stop me?"

"Foolish question." Kai sighed.

"Don't worry, I won't go if you don't allow me to," she said as they went inside.

The inside was pretty spacious, and he looked for his parents and Tasha. Tasha was the first to find them. "Why are you here?"

"Oh. Isn't this sister-in-law? Good to see you," she said with a smile.

Tasha became irritated just by hearing it. She spat back. "Sister-in-law, my ass. Kai has yet to marry anyone, and maybe I'll be the number one."

Michelle's face also became serious when she heard this. "Don't worry, we're going to the government office today to register our marriage application."

"You mean for Kai's ID card, right? Don't twist facts, Kai won't like it." Tasha smirked. "Besides, you're still not my match."

"Hmph. You can only win because of Kai's magic power, and since you haven't gotten it back yet, why don't we have a round?" She narrowed her eyes.

"This is why your chest is equal to your heart. Small. So petty." Tasha shrugged.

In fact, Tasha and Michelle didn't really have that much difference when it came to that department. Even so, Michelle gritted her teeth as she said back. "Hmph. Yours are just slightly bigger than mine. I can catch up to you in a year. Besides… you're just flaunting your old age and using it to compare yourself to someone younger than you."

"What did you say?" Both of them were gnashing their teeth as they glared at each other.

"All right. That's enough." Kai finally stepped in as he already walked to his sister this whole time.

Tasha and Kai kissed while Michelle looked away, not wanting to see it. Although she already accepted their relationship, there was still an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

Tasha looked at Michelle with a smug face after kissing him. The power didn't matter, the kiss did.

"Heh. The first time I heard about the seal, I knew why Kai asked for a kiss. It was because he didn't want to kiss you, and it would become his last resort," Michelle snorted.

"All right, just stop this already. I know you two are getting along, but please keep it civil," Kai said as he went back to Michelle's side and closed her mouth with his hand.

"By the way, where are Mother and Father?" he asked.

"They're buying groceries," Tasha simply replied.

"Tell them, I'll stay at Michelle's house today and will go back tomorrow," Kai said. He knew there were a lot of things they needed to talk about, so he decided to stay a bit longer.

Michelle suddenly pulled his hand from her mouth and said to Tasha, "School will start in four days. I'll look for you at that time to test some equipment. It can share ten percent of Kai's magic power that's sealed inside you."

"!!!" Tasha was surprised. She knew that because almost Kai's entire power was sealed inside her, he couldn't use any powerful skills. That was why his development was limited. With this ten percent, it was already enough for Kai to develop various things. She knew how important this was, so despite her reluctance, she still expressed her gratitude, albeit while looking away. "Uhm. Thank you."

Even though she was reluctant, she still thanked her. This was their relationship. They didn't get along, yet at the same time, they also do. Because they recognized each other and considered each other as rivals, they had this kind of relationship.

Kai and Michelle left the house, leaving Tasha alone in the house. They immediately went to the government office by car.

When they arrived, they were greeted by an official that had been expecting them. He was a middle-aged man with a fierce aura. If it weren't because his attire had long sleeves, they would have been able to see numerous scars on his hands and body. He was one of the veterans in the front lines that had fought for many years. After retiring, he worked as an official.

"I have been waiting for you." He nodded as he looked at Michelle before glancing at Kai with a complicated expression.

"We still need data for his magic power and strength. This is the data that you need to measure personally, no matter where or which family you come from."

They nodded.

"I am Ruslan, and I will lead you through the entire process," he introduced. "Follow me."

The first test was a physical test. They needed to measure his stamina, strength, and reaction speed. Some people wondered why they needed this since they were magicians, but this was mandatory.

"Please use your real strength as we need the information to be as accurate as possible," the middle-aged man informed.

Kai looked at Michelle first, who nodded her head. The first machine was to measure his strength.

"Just punch it three times, and you'll be done," Ruslan said nonchalantly. He was looking down on Kai as he thought Kai only managed to reach this far because of the Graham family. Because he migrated to this place, he didn't have information about him, thus underestimating him as a war veteran.

It was at this time; Kai gave him another shock of his life. He looked at Kai take a deep breath before punching the mission with all he got.

Bam!

The sound was so loud that it shook the entire room. The loud sound even made Ruslan's heart skip a beat, and when he looked at the score, he opened his mouth in amazement.

748 kg.

Michelle smiled when she saw this. Kai didn't care about their reaction and continued to punch it two more times.

Bam! Bam!

760 kg.

759 kg.

The official dropped his jaw as he had never seen a fist that powerful from a teen. His strength alone was like that of a magical beast.

Kai looked at Ruslan and asked, "What should I do now?"

"Ah." Ruslan hurriedly regained his composure. "You need to do a stamina test. You simply need to run thirty minutes and let the machine do the rest."

The next machine was a treadmill. Michelle gave him a bracelet to measure his heart rate and the others to speculate his stamina amount.

Kai nodded and started running. The running speed started from slow like jogging to sprinting. However, for Kai, it wasn't even his top speed yet. After thirty minutes, his heartbeat increased a little bit, but that was all. He didn't break any sweat, short breath, or whatsoever, looking perfectly normal.

"..." The middle-aged man clenched his fist as he looked at the number. He immediately sent him to the latest test, the reaction speed test. The machine used for this test was a simulation machine, the same machine as the ones used for Kai's practical class back in United Asia. However, the magical beasts were replaced by bows and guns.

He appeared in a white room. A lot of people stumbled over this test, but for Kai, this was a very easy test. They started with bows and arrows before speeding up with guns and rifles. He couldn't use his magic or anything. All he could do was to dodge all the things coming his way.

The first arrow came, and he avoided it with a single step. The second arrow came… the third arrow… and not long after, a few automatic rifles were shooting at him. Sadly, no bullet managed to touch him. His hearing could measure the distance and trajectory of the bullets, so he avoided all the bullets before Ruslan officially stopped the test. It would be pointless to continue, after all.

She smirked as she had predicted this result. In fact, she could never defeat Kai because of his absurd hearing. It might be Kai's greatest card. Even if she tried to throw a flashbang, Kai could simply use Sound Insulation to cover his ears for an instant.

Ruslan then led him to the last test, which was the magic test. This test only measured his magic element and Magic Power. That was why Kai suddenly dropped his performance as his magic power was sealed inside Tasha, and he was a sound magician. It didn't take too long for the result of his magic to come out, and disappointment came after.

Surprisingly, Ruslan could only see Kai as a treasure. Other people might be disappointed by his result, but for him, it was the best result he could get. He walked toward him with a serious expression.

"You… you… do you want to join the Military Academy?" Ruslan grabbed his shoulders.
