The Magician Of Sound Chapter 8

"Hell no—!"
When they turned their head, they were surprised by the sudden rejection coupled with killing intent. It turned out that Tasha was the one who said that.
"I am only telling you that. As for the future, I don't know. As I said, I won't intervene with the young ones' business. But I won't mind if it happens, though," Taro shrugged his shoulder with a chuckle.
After his first sentence, Tasha calmed a little bit. But after she heard his last sentence, she immediately looked at Taro with killing intent.
Kai suddenly pulled her hair to stop her, "All right. It isn't very polite to look at someone like that."
All of them were shocked to see Kai suddenly appear behind her. The one who got surprised the most was Kudo Taro. Kai had moved behind her before he knew it.
He didn't make any sound at all. He felt his presence, but because he was a silent type, he didn't have that much presence anyway. Because of that, if he put his guard down, Kai might be able to kill him without him realizing it. Upon realizing that, he became more and more satisfied with Kai, hoping that Kai will also become a part of the family.
He didn't know about his magician rank, but to be able to defeat his granddaughter, although she underestimated him, was more than enough, especially if his problem was only his magic power.
After researching for many years, there were a few magic liquids that were sold on the market. That magic liquid could increase the magic power inside one's body. He could just buy it with his wealth, and Kai's problem would be solved.
Ayaka told him how she got defeated by Kai. He didn't find any problem with his fighting skills. Although he didn't have that much experience, he could gain it bit by bit in the academy.
He also knew that Kai was a sound magician from Ayaka. If he could utilize it in battle, he might even be comparable to space magicians, summoners, and the like.
"Hoho..." He laughed, shifting his body toward Kai, "All right, I won't say anything about that anymore. Follow me so we can choose a perfect weapon for you."
He then walked to the door while inviting all of them. Ayaka was the first one to follow him. Then Kai also started following suit, and that shocked Tasha.
She gritted her teeth and started walking too. She kept staring at Kudo Taro with hostile eyes. Kai decided not to bother her anymore.

Kudo Taro led them to a little mysterious 5x5 meter building beside their house.
Kudo Taro then took out a golden key from his pocket. Kai and Tasha thought it must be the door key, as they saw the keyhole on the door.
Surprisingly, he didn't put the key into the keyhole. Instead, he channeled his magic power to the key. Not long after, a small magic circle appeared from the key.
Kudo Taro then moved to the right and presented the key in the middle for a while. Suddenly, the door was opened. There was nothing inside the building besides floors and some lighting.
In the previous location, where Kudo Taro presented his key was a big black box. Judging from the situation, the magic circle activated the mechanism inside and made the door open.
Kudo Taro and Kudo Ayaka went inside casually. Kai only stopped a little bit before realizing what this building was. It was an Elevator.
Seeing that Kai went in, Tasha also followed him.
The elevator then went down.
"Hoho, this is an elevator toward an underground passage to our company. As you might already know, the richer we are, the more dangerous our lives will be.
"The company is only a hundred meters away from us. We thought about making a skywalk, but it was dangerous as a sniper might be able to assassinate us.
"So we built this underground passage. Don't worry, this is the safest passage in the world. You can judge it from the entrance itself.
"Even if you try to blow it up, you can't. Of course, there might be some magicians that could bypass the system," he said while glancing at Tasha. He didn't mind saying all of this since they would become a part of his family. At least, that was what he thought.
"Hmph!" Because of the marriage thing, Tasha was not polite to him anymore. Of course, she had expected something like this. She couldn't escape if Kai chooses to have multiple wives in the future.
Their parents always said that to him. Even so, she couldn't accept it. Kai had given everything to her, so she wanted to give her everything to him if she had to, including her life. Sadly, Kai didn't care about that.
After a few seconds, the door opened again. They saw a huge passage without anything in it.
Taro led them through the passage. Ayaka kept glancing at Kai unknowingly, thinking about when he blew her grandfather away. Although her grandfather was not serious, she couldn't do that.

Luckily, Tasha didn't realize this as she was too focused on the old man. If she had, there might be another drama.
After walking for a minute, they arrived at the entrance of the building. There were two huge men with black suits and pairs of black sunglasses standing in front of the entrance.
"Welcome, Grandmaster." Both of them immediately greeted him while bowing.
"Good job as usual. This old man wants to walk around with these youngsters. I don't need a guide."
"Understood. Please have a nice day, Grandmaster." Both of them also took out two cards and channeled their magic into the card. A magic circle appeared once again, and they tapped the card to another black box. The entrance finally opened.
Kudo Taro nodded his head. He glanced at Tasha and Kai. "Let's go."
Tasha and Kai followed him through this metal door. They didn't take another elevator even though they were underground. After all, they had arrived at their destination.
The ground floor was to accept customers. Whenever they wanted to test a weapon, they would be led to the underground.
They arrived in a certain room. The room was spacious with little furniture inside, but there were a few cylinders stuck on the wall.
Kudo Taro went to the cylinder and put his hand on the cylinder while saying, "Becca, it's me."
"What? Teacher? I'll go there immediately." Surprisingly, with a single call, this 'Becca' suddenly went into a panic and ended the call as she rushed toward this room.
Only a few seconds passed and she had arrived. She immediately came to Kudo Taro and greeted him, "Teacher, why didn't you call me when you were coming here?"
She was a woman in her twenties. She had blonde hair and big blue eyes with a pair of big round glasses on her eyes, making her look like a clumsy person. She wore a formal black suit with a black skirt that reached her knees.
"Haha, it's fine. I'm just accompanying some youngsters to choose their weapons," he said while showing Kai and Tasha to her.
"Yo-you!" When she looked at Tasha, she instantly realized who she was. She immediately ran toward her and grabbed her hands, "You must be Tasha Carter. I've heard so much about you. I'm your fan."
Tasha was startled when she suddenly grabbed her hands.
"Ahem, this is Becca, my student. Well, she only has three years of experience as my student. She decided to become my assistant in this group to improve. Anyway, she is a B-rank magician, but she might even be comparable to a full-fledged A-rank magician. Of course, she might not be comparable to an S-rank, though."
"Hehe, Teacher, you're overpraising me. I'm just a clumsy person."
"As you might already know, she is Tasha Carter, and the one beside her is her younger brother, Kai Carter. They're going to choose weapons here."
"Oh, then I will make sure that you two are satisfied." She didn't care about Kai Carter that much, as her idol, Tasha Carter, was in front of her. She made a gesture for them to follow her to the cylinders. Although, it was more directed to Tasha.
"Sister Becca, it's too rude for you to prioritize someone just because she's your idol." Ayaka, who had been silent this entire time, suddenly spoke.
When Becca heard that, she finally realized that Ayaka was also in the group. "Ah. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was rude of me. Please."
She made another gesture, signaling to follow her. Of course, it was also directed to Kai. Becca knew that Ayaka was also Tasha's fan, but at least she didn't act like her just now. She immediately regained her professional attitude after thinking about that.
Kudo Taro only smiled, looking at Ayaka reprimanding her because of Kai... unless he misunderstood her intention, thinking that she might want to avoid Ayaka from snapping.
Tasha looked at Kai, who nodded his head. They followed Becca to the cylinders.
Becca asked, "Do you have any preferences?"
Tasha only glanced at Kai, signaling that he should go first. Kai only shrugged his shoulders and said, "Two one-edge swords without a curve."
Becca looked at Kai for a while. She didn't know why, but she felt that this Kai was even more important than Tasha. She recalled how Ayaka suddenly reprimanded her because she focused on her.
She then glanced at Kudo Taro, who only smiled at her. She didn't know what to do, as her head started sweating. She might need to research Tasha's younger brother after this.
She should maintain her professional attitude for the time being. "Very well, I will find the perfect weapon for you."

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress.
