The Magician of Sound

Chapter 559 - Progress

Kai then continued his training with Arba.

Little did he know, the girls had been lying on the floor. Michelle and Tasha had their backs facing the floor while Ayaka and Sofia just couldn't afford to turn their bodies around to lie on their backs.

They all looked exhausted as their bodies were covered in sweat.

In the middle of the group, Leah calmly walked to them while nodding her head. "I think this is good enough. We can step up a little bit."

"What?" Tasha widened her eyes. "Are you serious? I can't really move my muscles after all this. We have been carrying a bag of stones while running and doing exercises."

"Yeah. Both of my hands are shaking right now." Michelle raised her hands, showing the proof.

Ayaka and Sofia, on the other hand, remained silent as Sofia gradually forced her way back up. She didn't know why but she felt a bit nostalgic with this kind of treatment.

And Sofia quickly connected the dots between her erased memory and this training.

"This is nothing. I can still go on…" Sofia said while struggling to get up. Her body seemed to remember and somehow gave her a bit of encouragement by making her heart racing.

To their surprise, Ria entered the room with two bags of stones. Unlike them, she effortlessly put the bag down while walking around normally.

"How is the situation going?" Ria asked Leah.

"It's going pretty fast. I think we have some time to spare." Leah nodded, feeling satisfied with their progress.

"Really? These weak girls can do it?" Ria furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head in disappointment. She had been wearing a sports bra and long black pants, slightly revealing the abs from her continuous training since she was young.

Despite having a huge workload, especially Kai's stuff, she still managed to train her body and keep it in shape. That was why she never had a problem getting all this.

Instead, she looked at the girls in disappointment. She said, "So, these girls can make it? It's surprising enough since they don't even try earnestly."

"We have been training until our body can't move this whole time anymore." Michelle corrected her while sighing.

"Your mouth can still move, so that's just your excuse." Ria shook her head. "And Ayaka, why the heck are you still lying there? Your blood allows you to lift so many bags at once."

"Ehm, I'm carrying multiple bags and doing more exercises." Ayaka gently stroked her face.

"Nah, it's not enough." Ria disagreed and continued, "Kai has it rough."

"My king is a bit different." Leah made a weird expression and tried to explain the situation to her.

However, Ria snorted and glared at her. "Huh? What did you say again?"

Leah's body shook as she recalled Ria was Kai's adoptive mother. So, she quickly looked away and corrected herself. "I haven't said anything."

Ria harrumphed while saying, "I have been in contact with Kai and from what I have been told… Kai seems to have optimized two new Magic. The first one is his Sound Blast. The new version allows him to use Sound Blast at a certain part of his body, meaning smaller magic circles and more powerful control.

"The second one is the Supersonic Boundary. Basically, the chainsaw version of his Supersonic Sword." Ria looked down on them with a cold gaze.

"Eh?" Michelle instinctively rose from the floor and stared at her, listening to the story attentively.

"I don't lie." Ria shrugged. "He might not carry this kind of bag, but he ran at full speed to India for his jogging alone."

"What?" Tasha also rose from the floor, full of disbelief.

"Yeah. He also needed to fight SS Rank Magical Beast along the way."

"SS Rank Magical Beast? Like the spider?" Ayaka still remembered. Even with her current power, Ayaka didn't know whether she was strong enough or not to kill the beast by herself. Even if she could do it, she would have suffered heavy injuries.

She hurriedly rose from the floor.

The same applied to Sofia when she heard what Ria said next.

"Also, you should know Kai's full speed, right? Imagine colliding with monsters at that kind of speed… He is basically experiencing multiple crashes where one car hits another as they go in the opposite direction. The impact is so strong that it starts damaging his body."

All of them seemed to have realized the graveness of Kai's training. They only ran around the area without thinking about their lives since it was a safe place. Meanwhile, Kai couldn't let his guard down because he would end up dying without him knowing it.

Compared to him, what they did was nothing.

"You set your own limit. Unfortunately, it seems Leah has been too lenient on you as she manages to set a lower limit and instill it into your heads. If this goes on, I am thinking of showing my disapproval and only approve Leah to be a daughter-in-law."

That last statement riled everyone up as they rose from the floor while glaring at Leah as if everything that happened was a part of her scheme.

Of course, nobody thought that way. They didn't say anything and simply turned around, leaving for extra training.

"I still have some energy. I should practice a little bit." Ayaka shook her head and left.

"I almost forgot one more training menu. I need to shoot some arrows." Tasha shook her head in disappointment.

"I happen to face some trouble in my training, so I'm trying to figure out the solution." Sofia looked down while walking away.

"Just stop your excuses. You all should just go and start practicing." Michelle let out a long sigh while saying, "I need to make sure you guys do not procrastinate anymore."

"…" They all fell silent as they never expected Michelle to be that shameless.

"See?" Ria pointed at them while shrugging in front of Leah. "That's how you handle them. They are training hard, but not hard enough."

"Ehm… I believe they have done it hard enough." Leah gently stroked her cheek, wondering what she should say. She didn't know why but Ria looked like Arba when she trained her.

She always ended up working harder than ever despite feeling dying inside.

"No worries. They won't die in this place. I'm going to resurrect them if they happen to die because of too much training." She snorted and left. "I leave the rest to you, Leah. Make sure they don't become too lazy."

Leah wanted to laugh but ended up becoming silent. She knew what kind of training Theo had to undergo to gain a strong body enough to endure the Crown Jewel.

"He should have arrived at a certain place and started the second training. I guess that's fine." Leah looked down. "I should ask Devain to check the base's situation as well to make sure we don't have any spies within our ranks. Maybe he should start investigating the government… I mean, they hold the biggest control over the population, so that's a good place to start.

"Still, this would have become easier if my king were the president for a lifetime. He is the king after all. Well, what can I expect? This is the other edge of advanced civilization." She shook her head. "I should start preparing as well."
