Chapter 198: Finishing the Business

"Teleportation." Kai activated the Teleportation Magic and sent everyone right in front of the base.

"What?"

"We are back just like this?"

"This is the legendary Space Magic!!"

The soldiers were obviously shocked, including Baran. They looked… No, revered Kai at this point. Isabelle and the others were also speechless when they knew Kai could use Teleportation Magic even though it was supposed to be Tasha's magic. However, Kai had no intention of revealing his secret to them because they were from a different group, unlike Evan.

Evan also knew his responsibility in keeping the secret, so he just shut his mouth even in front of his father later. Meanwhile, Michelle and Tasha were stretching their hands and walked toward the base nonchalantly.

"Finally, we can rest right now!"

"That's right. The reward is nice, and the battle ends in a day. Happy!"

The group looked at them and twitched their eyebrows. They were in shock here, but the two girls actually acted like that, making them somehow annoyed.

Kai also noticed their expression and laughed. "Haha… A nice mission is something fast and safe. The injured people will go with Evan to the medical room while Baran will finish the paperwork so the others can rest."

"Where are you going, Sir Kai?" Baran asked politely, planning to accompany him.

"I am going to meet General Brad and hand him the pictures. After that, I will rest for a day and go back with my friends." Kai answered with a smile.

"I see." Baran sighed and smiled helplessly. Although he wanted Kai to stay longer, he was still a student before a Lieutenant, so he saluted. "Thank you for your hard work."

The rest of the soldiers saw this, straightened their back, and saluted. It was because of Kai's plan and ability they could finish this mission without a casualty.

"Haha…" Kai saluted first before waving his hand. "You all have worked hard as well. Take care."

He started walking toward General Brad's room and knocked on his door as soon as he arrived.

*Knock Knock!*

"Come in!" Brad said with a slightly soft tone.

Kai then opened the door and walked inside the room before reporting to him. "General Brad, the mission is complete. This is the proof."

He handed the pictures that Michelle took earlier and projected them on Brad's table.

Brad narrowed his eyes and looked at the three people before nodding his head. "You have finished your mission indeed. Just like our information, the group consists of two males and one female, just like in the picture. Looking at their body condition, they won't possibly be alive. I will contact the Headquarters about this mission, but I need to ask you a couple of questions."

"Please ask, General." Kai nodded without expression as he didn't want to deal with this person any longer.

"First, how is the condition of the soldiers? How many people die?"

"Although there are some people sustaining injuries, no one dies. I also have Evan healing them right now."

"Alright. To the second question, is there any problem with the mission? Do I need to deploy any soldiers to prevent any horde?"

"There is nothing for General to worry about. We killed all the magical beasts in our path silently and made sure no beast was following us. It continued until we reached the town from the information. Around there might be a few magical beasts that might endanger us, so I chose to kill them as well.

"Meanwhile, the soldiers had disposed of the body according to instruction while I burned the three SS rank magical beast bodies and stored their ashes. I hope General can allow me to bring them back to the US Base and bury them properly," Kai said gently.

Brad clenched his fist before sighing. "Fine. I will report it to the Headquarters as well. They might probably ask you to hand the ashes as they will handle the burial."

Kai nodded.

"Then, for the third question, is there any potential risk from this base from getting attacked after this mission? I am not questioning your ability, but I am worried about your experience."

"Nothing you can worry about. I double-checked our situation there and came back here with a way that wouldn't alarm them." Kai paused for a second and said, "It was Teleportation Magic."

Brad stared at his eyes for a minute to check whether he lied or not. "Then the last question, when are you going back?"

"Tomorrow," Kai answered without hesitation.

"Alright. You can go now." Brad nodded and waved his hand as if he was asking him to leave. "Don't forget to give the proof to Baran. He will handle the report for you."

Kai nodded and left the room without saying anything. "My job is over now. I remember that we are going to Miami two months from now to relax… I think we can have a normal mission this time, no, I will ask Sir Nathan to give us a normal mission this time. I know he is planning to increase my ranks, but I still need some rest."

He sighed and took out his communication device, calling Nathan's number.

"Oh, it's a rare call from my grandson-in-law! Have you finished the mission?" Nathan only asked whether Kai had completed his task, not if there was any trouble in the mission because he trusted Kai this much, unlike Brad.

"I have completed the task and will return tomorrow. There is no problem or whatsoever, so Sir doesn't need to worry."

"Then, what do you want to ask me? The Kai that I know won't have a pointless call to this grandfather after all."

"Haha…" Kai let out a hollow laugh before asking. "I just want to ask for a normal mission next month."

"Oh! Sure." Nathan answered nonchalantly. "There are a few high-ranking missions in front of me, but since the request is coming from you, then I will just throw these papers away. I was thinking about getting you another high-risk mission, so you could enjoy yourself for a full month in May. But I guess I can come up with another reason to have you exempted from the mission in that month."

Kai smiled as he could see paper sounds flying around Nathan. He literally just threw the papers away. "Thank you for your consideration, Sir Nathan."

"It's fine. Though it's better if you say something like, "To repay your gratefulness, I decide to fulfill one of your wishes, Grandfather!" or something along the lines." Nathan teased him again. "I will surely ask you to give me a child! Marriage can come after that since it will be nothing but assured for me."

"Ahaha… We still need to congratulate Sir Michael and madam in June or July as well. However, I will refrain myself from fulfilling that wish of yours before I graduate. Besides, I am still waiting for my Teacher to give me the medicine." Kai shook his head helplessly.

"That's right. I almost forgot that you were such a responsible kid. You didn't want to hurt my granddaughter and prepared the best. Fine, I can still wait for another two years or so. Meanwhile, I will surely throw a huge party when little Daisy gives birth to my little grandson. You will come to the party, right?"

"Of course." Kai smiled. "He will be my brother anyway, so I will surely come unless you give me a tough mission at that time."

"Haha… My motto is family first, government second. I am loyal, but I won't harm my family because of that." He laughed. "Anyway, you can search for your mission yourself next month."

"Thank you, Sir Nathan."

"Come on, when are you going to call me Grandfather?!" Nathan protested jokingly as Kai hung up before calling another number.

"Teacher, I want to inform you about something."

"Oh. What happened? Did you mess up and wanted to train under me again? My door is always open for you." Ria teased him like Nathan.

"No. I found…" Kai began telling her the whole story about Rizou and how his blood got suppressed when he released his magic power.

Ria kept listening to him until he finished before noting everything down on the paper in front of her.

"I have tested that possibility, but it's not that determined. Though most of the experimental blood only has the magic power below five thousand. It might be worth testing someone with higher magic power like Michelle or You. Well, you were indeed having an easier time from all the reports I had seen from the government… As for Michelle, I didn't want to test her unless she asked me, so rest assured."

"That's all."

"Wait! Before you hang up, I have something to say." Ria paused for a moment and said. "Be careful on your vacation because I feel something will happen at that time. I'm not saying you will have a big problem, but my sixth sense is telling me that the representative will go to Miami instead of the white house. That's why you need to be careful when you are there."

Kai fell into silence for a minute and sighed. "Alright. I will be careful."

"That's all. I will inform you when I have finished researching the device for your magic power. It should be done next month."

"Thank you very much, Teacher."

"If only you were more open to me earlier, you might already have the thirty percent one."

"Haha…" Kai chuckled, embarrassed. He hung up the call and went back to his group.

He kissed Tasha again to return her Space Element along with his magic power and rested for the rest of the day.

The next day, they flew off the base while being saluted by the ninety people that came along with them in the mission.
