"We're coming with you."

The principal nodded, and all of them ran toward the gym.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately searched for that particular tube and saw that it was in use.

"Principal Kazato, we need to let them out of that world. The purpose of this practical class is to let the students slowly gain experience and get used to the outside world.

"But if they entered that world... I'm afraid they'll get traumatized."

Kazato Kenzo felt weak on his legs. He was suddenly covered in sweat. "It's impossible. As you might already know, we can't let them out before they die in that world. This tube is also the same."

Adryan and Kirika were dumbfounded. They knew why the tubes had that function. It was to train the students' mentality. If they knew that they could just leave that place before they died, then they would get shocked when they had to battle in the outside world, where they couldn't do that.

"Damn!" Adryan and Kirika shouted.

Shiratsuka Sanae obviously heard that, as she was supervising the class. She was a bit surprised to see the principal come to this place, so she came to him. "Can I help you, Principal?"

"Ugh... Who's using the training tube in the middle?"

Sanae tried to remember for a while. "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Kudo Ayaka and Kai Carter."

"Kudo?"

"Carter?"

All of them were shocked. They never expected to hear that name. They knew about the Kudo group, as it was the number one weapon provider in United Asia.

But Carter's name was also like thunder reverberating in their ears. That name became famous because of one particular individual. Tasha Carter.

Unfortunately, at a time like this, it would only make it worse. The Kudo group was a huge group, and if their only heiress was traumatized because of this, they couldn't imagine what kind of thing they would do.

The same went for Kai Carter. They considered Tasha Carter as someone with the same level of threat as Kudo Group. But it would be different if she became far stronger.

"What happened, Principal? Why are you sweating?" Shirotsuka Sanae was clueless.

"You should know about our new programmed world, right?"

"Yeah, the one that reflects the outside world perfectly."

"I haven't changed the setting back on that tube."

Surprise came to Sanae's poker face."What should we do, Principal?"

Adrian said, "Should we tell their families first? I think they should come to this place."

Kazato pondered for a while then shook his head. "Let's keep this secret for the time being. If they're fine after this, then I'll call them and formally apologize. But if they're not fine by then, I'll bear the full responsibility."

"Are you sure, Principal?"

"Yeah. I just hope these two will turn out fine."

...

Inside the tube, Kai and Ayaka started approaching their first prey. They approached it carefully so it wouldn't notice them.

"I can make a Sound Insulation Room with my magic. Sound won't escape that room. Charge as soon as I use that magic."

Ayaka nodded to him as her spear came out of her ring on her right index finger.

Kai checked their position once again. After confirming they weren't surrounded, a magic circle appeared on his hand.

"Sound Insulation Room."

They were only ten meters from the gorilla. Kai made a Sound Insulation Room with the gorilla as the center. The sound insulation room was a 4x4x4 meter translucent yellow cube.

As soon as the room appeared, the gorilla immediately felt something wrong. At the same time, Ayaka rushed toward the gorilla with her spear.

"Ha!" She thrust her spear toward the gorilla's neck.

Because of its instinct, it immediately dodged the spear by an inch and tried to throw a fist on Ayaka. Ayaka was surprised to see that the gorilla managed to dodge her attack, but she didn't stop there. She immediately used her magic.

"Burn to Cinders, Flares."

The magic circle suddenly shot out a few flaming whips. It pierced the gorilla's hands and feet.

"Roar!" The gorilla screamed in pain. If Kai didn't use his Sound Insulation Room, countless magical beasts might come to this place.

Ayaka used the opening to pierce the gorilla's neck with her spear. She finally killed the gorilla this time.

After confirming the gorilla's death, Kai released his Sound Insulation Room and walked to Ayaka.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't kill it in one hit. If you hadn't used your Sound Insulation Room, I'm afraid that roar might have attracted the nearby magical beasts." She apologized to Kai.

She knew the effect of Kai's Sound Insulation Room. When she entered the Sound Insulation Room, she couldn't hear a single thing from the outside. That meant the barrier separated the two worlds. Kai shouldn't be able to hear the gorilla's roar too.

"It's fine. We'll continue to fight this way. Since this is our first time fighting together, things like this are bound to happen. We can slowly adapt to each other's fighting styles first. I'll continue as your support."

"All right." Ayaka nodded seriously.

Seeing how she became a bit tense, Kai chose to tease her a little bit to loosen her shoulders. "Surely it's because of bad luck that we have a rank D magical beast as our first prey. The bad luck is yours, right?"

Ayaka was dumbfounded. She chuckled, "It's obviously my good luck. We must be ahead of the others."Kai smiled a little bit.

Ayaka was startled when she saw Kai's smile for the first time. "What is it?"

"You're not tense anymore. You can't think carefully when you're tense."

She froze. She chuckled, "I'm good at working under pressure."

Kai then led her to another magical beast. This time, it was an E-rank huge lizard, as it was a three-meter long lizard.

Kai used his Sound Insulation Room again while Ayaka charged to the lizard. This time, the lizard was pretty fast. It managed to dodge a few thrusts from Ayaka until finally, she roasted the lizard with her flames.

They arrived at their destination after two hours. They had killed around sixty magical beasts before they reached this place.

According to Kai, the magical beasts had moved quite a lot from their original positions. It gave them an easier time to bypass them.

When they reached their destination, it was a good plan. They even found a cave there. It would be nice to use the cave as their base.

"So, what should we do now?"

"Well, I sensed two groups that we can attack right now. The first group has ten magical beasts in it. I don't know what they are, but they surely walk on four feet.

"The other one also has ten magical beasts, but they walk on two feet. Take your pick." Kai gave her the options.

"Which one is the closest one from us?" Ayaka asked.

"The second one."magic

"Then we"re going there. Since we don't know what kind of creatures we're going to face, it's better to kill the closest ones. Under the premise that we won't be surrounded by magical beasts when we fight them." Ayaka said her reasoning. Suddenly, she asked, "I'm curious, what kind of things can your ears pick up?"

"Not that much. I can only locate them from the sounds they make. Sadly, I don't know what they are. By the way, since we're going to fight a group of monsters, what kind of magic can you use? I think we can make a better plan if we know about them." Kai said.

"You've seen three of them. The first one is those Firebirds. The second one is the Fire Wings, and the third one is the Flares. I have three more skills that I usually use.

"They're Scarlet Explosion, Fire Net, and Fire Armor. Their uses are like just like what their names imply. Scarlet Explosion is an explosion, Fire Net is a net made of fire, and I can make a full-body armor from Fire. Still, this one needs a massive amount of magic power, so I don't use it very often.

"I can also do some neutral magic like the shield you used in our fight. That's all, I guess."

Kai pondered a little. "Maybe you should have a skill to enhance your movement. You can use it on your feet to give you speed or use it on your hands or weapon to give it more power. You can come up with your own version or learn from a record. Well, this is only a suggestion, it's entirely up to you."

If it were before, she might have been triggered by this. But after knowing Kai more, she didn't have that thought. She took Kai's suggestion seriously. "It's a good suggestion. I'll try it in the future. How about you? What skills can you use?"

"Sound Insulation Room and the one I used to... defeat you back then, Lullaby," Kai said while looking at Ayaka carefully. He was afraid that Ayaka might be triggered by his words. Luckily, she wasn't.

"What else?" Ayaka asked.

"The third one is a magic that can alter brainwaves," Kai said.

"A magic that can alter brainwaves?" Ayaka was bewildered.

Kai nodded. "Do you like music?"

"Of course, I do."

"Then have you recognized how different music can give you different effects? Like when you're listening to a workout song or music, it makes you exercise harder?"

"Yes, indeed," Ayaka nodded her head before realizing what Kai meant. She said with a surprised look, "Do you mean..."
