Kapitel 72: A Series of Unfortunate Events and Hope

"Teleportation!"

He teleported them a hundred kilometers away from that place in the northeast direction. Yoshihiro immediately checked his map and saw that they were still on track. He just needed to shift his direction a little bit.

Kai was still hanging there with his willpower. He asked Yoshihiro with a hoarse voice, "How is it?"

"We're still on course." Yoshihiro nodded his head as he steered the helicopter a little bit to the coast. After all, they didn't want to land and be surrounded by magical beasts. Since magical beasts from the sea wouldn't come out to the land, they didn't need to care about that side and could focus on the land.

Unfortunately, the magical beasts of the sea were more aggressive when they entered their territories. The government once sent huge fleets toward the sea for investigation, but they were butchered by the sea creatures instantly.

Because of that, they ignored the sea and did everything from the sky. Compared to the sea, it was far easier to travel by air.

Kai then nodded his head as his face became paler. Blood started coming from his nose, and he finally passed out. Ayaka immediately caught him.

They had a few hours of peace before they suddenly saw a flock of birds flying toward them.

"Sh*t." Yoshihiro immediately threw a curse as he immediately changed direction to avoid this group of birds. He shouted, "Hang on!"

The helicopter bent almost flipped ninety degrees to avoid this, and everyone almost fell. Becca and Chiyo immediately reacted and prevented that from happening. Ayaka grabbed Kai so he didn't fall while Kai's mother held Shirotsuka Sanae.

"We need to patch the door," Chiyo shouted to James.

He was panicking about this, but he needed to endure and came up with his fabrics. He strengthened them with his magic, making an artificial door. Even if the other fell, they would be caught and bounced by this elastic door.

On the other hand, Tasha already aimed as she prepared to shoot her arrow if she had to.

Clang! Clang!

All of their faces became pale when they heard that. Luckily, what they thought would befall them never came. The magical beasts didn't attack them and just bumped onto their helicopter. They didn't deal any damage to the helicopter, letting it continue flying.

After dodging the magical beasts, they finally felt relieved as Yoshihiro immediately stabilized their position again.

However, at this time, he felt a bit cold wind from the outside. Yoshihiro's face became even paler as he roared. "Damn!"

He saw a huge cyclone slowly form in front of them. He didn't hear the roars of the magical beasts on land because of the situation as well as the loud noise from the helicopter. If he had heard it, he would have immediately known what was coming.

Earth had made a weird transition after magic spread in this world. The extreme weather became more extreme as typhoons could suddenly appear, and without any proper equipment, he didn't know whether there would be a typhoon or not.

The sky wasn't clear, but the black cloud was also not that big. Sadly, none of them picked up the last clue.

The birds were flying at lower altitudes because the barometric pressure had changed. If only they had noticed it a bit sooner.

Yoshihiro immediately changed his direction by steering the wheel, but even so, the helicopter was still moving toward the typhoon. The typhoon was trying to swallow them.

The others were already shaking as they gripped their chairs as hard as possible, trying to make sure they wouldn't get thrown off.

"This is bad. We need to get out of this place." Yoshihiro roared. He then looked at James Carter. "We need to wrap everyone in your magic as tight as possible. Ayaka and I will carry you from the sky."

"Are we going to abandon the helicopter?"

"Yes, we're going right now!" Yoshihiro roared. Without prior signs, the helicopter suddenly shook. Becca and James Carter suddenly lost their grips and flew off the helicopter.

"!!!" Everyone was startled. However, Kudo Chiyo still saw them hanging on the foot on the landing skids because of Becca's fast response. Becca still held onto James as much as she could while trying to get back inside.

Yoshihiro immediately made a magic circle. A wind sphere then appeared out of nowhere and protected them from the wind. Even so, Yoshihiro could feel that the typhoon was also trying to suck his wind sphere in, so they only had a tiny amount of time.

As his partner, Kudo Chiyo immediately knew what she needed to do. She used her magic to make an ice crook. She then stretched it out toward James Carter.

"Grab it!" she shouted.

Seeing this, James Carter grabbed it with all of his strength.

Kudo Chiyo immediately pulled him back to the helicopter before helping Becca.

"We don't have time, we need to grab everyone and get out!" Yoshihiro roared while trying his best to hold on.

James Carter knew that a single hesitation might cost them in this situation. He immediately grabbed his fabric and wrapped Kai, Shirotsuka Sanae, and Ayaka Carter.

The others also helped him by wrapping themselves with the fabric and joining in with Kai and the others like sardines in a can.

Yoshihiro then said, "I'm going to let the wind suck us, and at the highest altitudes, we're going to escape from this place. However, because of this typhoon, the pressure up there would be very high, so prepare yourselves."

The people gulped as Ayaka clenched her fists. She couldn't make a mistake here and helped everyone.

Yoshihiro tied it to his body while grabbing it tightly, and Ayaka did the same. They needed to make sure they were together with everyone in this typhoon as it would be over if they were separated.

Seeing everyone was ready, he then commanded. "Ayaka, you jump first. I'll follow after you."

Ayaka nodded and jumped out of the helicopter while bringing the fabric that wrapped everyone. Yoshihiro also jumped, following the other end of the fabric.

Because of their position that was close to the typhoon, they were immediately sucked in by the typhoon as soon as Yoshihiro's wind barrier disappeared.

They flew up high and did nothing as Yoshihiro's command. However, they started feeling discomfort as they were going upward, and before they knew it, their brain felt great pain, and their ears were ringing.

Even so, they chose to endure it until they were finally above the typhoon. Yoshihiro immediately used his magic from earlier.

All of their pain suddenly disappeared for a while. He then looked at Ayaka. "Listen to me. We're going to fly upward and make a parabolic movement to avoid the suction force of this typhoon.

"This is going to be painful, but you need to endure it no matter what. And the most important thing is your Fire Wings. The typhoon might suck your fire, so you'll be more burdened than me."

"Father, I'm ready." Ayaka looked at him with a persevering expression. The others also looked at them while bracing themselves for the pain. Even though they were wrapped in fabric, it was only on their body, their head and feet were still free.

Yoshihiro nodded his head. "We're going at 0."

"3."

"2."

"1."

"0."

The moment he said "0," Ayaka and Yoshihiro made a magic circle on their feet. Yoshihiro covered his boots with a wind sphere while Ayaka used her Fire Wings on her back. However, Ayaka also made an additional magic circle below her feet.

Both of them then jumped at the same time as they broke through from Yoshihiro's wind barrier. Ayaka immediately felt the suction force that was trying to swallow her fire, so she immediately used her Fire Wings one after another together with her boost. This allowed her to have the same speed as her father.

After escaping the typhoon, Yoshihiro told them to search for a good place to hide. As long as the magical beasts nearby weren't too many, they could make it a temporary base until Kai woke up.

They flew for a few hours before finally ending up resting in a house near Uelen. There were around three hundred magical beasts nearby, but they should be able to eliminate them.

After putting down Kai and Shirotsuka Sanae, all of them started fighting the magical beasts.

...

When Kai woke up, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He looked left and right and saw Shirotsuka Sanae and his mother. He realized that they had landed and went inside a limestone cave.

"Kai!"

"Mother. Have we arrived?" Kai asked while rubbing his fuzzy eyes. He also checked his magic power, and he was disappointed to find that he had only recovered about seventy percent of his magic power.

"This…" She didn't know what to say.

"Where are we?" He immediately noticed something was wrong and asked her.

"We… Let's just say that we were a bit unfortunate and lost our means of transportation." She sighed.

"???" Kai looked at her, frowning. "Where are the others?"

"They… they're fighting the magical beasts outside. It's been a few minutes since when we crashed, and they're still fighting so many magical beasts." She clenched her fists.

"Where are we?" Kai asked again.

"We're around a hundred kilometers away from Uelen."

"We need to gather the others and teleport again." He endured the pain in his body and rose from his bed. He didn't ask anything more from his mother as he felt it would just waste time to have her explain it from the start. He needed to get into safety first before he could talk about it.

It was at this time that Kai's device suddenly rang. His mother immediately grabbed his device and saw the hope she had been waiting for.

On his device were words that brought them hope.

[Incoming Call: Michelle]

[Accept/Decline]


Kapitel 73: Graham Family

In the middle of the afternoon, Michelle was heading back to her mansion that didn't lose to Ayaka's. She had been on a mission for more than two months. Luckily, the plan had gone smoothly, so she finished the mission faster.

She had been dying to tell Kai she had finished her mission, but upon reaching her room, she saw that the communication device that she left in the house was filled with Kai's messages.

She wanted to feel joy as Kai took the initiative to contact her, but she knew he wasn't someone like that. Tension filled the air as she read the messages.

It turned out she was right. Her answer came in the form of multiple SOS messages. Kai had messaged her for money a few days ago, hoping someone would find this. Unfortunately, no one dared to come to her room, especially her servants.

A day later, he was practically asking her to send help to South Korea. The messages continued to North Korea and finally until it arrived in Alaska.

Kai told her he was at his wits' end and needed her help. He didn't care whatever happened to him after that as long as she sent help for his parents.

Sadly, because of the mission this time as they were fighting a special magical beast, she wasn't allowed to bring her communication device. And Kai was in danger because of this.

She immediately called him with her hands shaking.

"Kai, what happened?! Where are you? Are you okay?" She was screaming as soon as he picked up the call.

"Hello? Is this Michelle?"

Her body shook when she heard the woman's voice, and she recognized this voice. "Auntie? Where is Kai? Where are you? What happened to all of you? I… am sorry."

"Kai and I are near Uelen, Russia. The whole family is here together with one other family." She said. "Kai is recovering his magic at the moment as he needs it to teleport us."

"What happened to all of you?"

"The situation is too complicated to explain at the moment. If I need to describe it in one sentence, a huge storm is brewing in United Asia, and our family is the center of that storm."

"You then escaped from that situation but are stranded in Russia?"

"Yes. That's basically it. We're in a shelter but are surrounded by magical beasts. We don't know how long we can hold out in this situation. If only I could fight," she said, biting her lips.

"Auntie, everything's going to be fine. I'll immediately send our people to pick you up. Just activate your tracker, and we'll go get you before you know it."

It was then that she heard, "Our situation is not good, we're going to move right now. Wait! You've woken up?"

This voice wasn't familiar to her ears, but she heard Kai say, "All right, we're going to teleport there now."

Kai then took his communication device from his mother.

"We're going to buy time in Uelen. A few hours at best, but anything past that, we can only head to Alaska. Even so, we might be surrounded by magical beasts when we get there. If I need… No, I just want to say, I miss you," Kai said as he hung up the call. He activated the tracker.

"Hello? Kai? Kai?" She shouted continuously to the call that had been hung up. When she heard him say "I miss you," she didn't feel a trace of happiness. In fact, she was devastated. Kai had given up on his situation and was completely relying on luck. She bit her lips as she almost crushed her communication device to pieces.

She immediately came out of the room and ran toward her father's room while carrying the device. This might be the biggest trouble that her family had. Although she had yet to get past the childhood friend step, both of their families already considered them a thing.

The entire Graham family already recognized Kai, and no one could shake that position.

They had no problem with him except for his background, but the Graham family didn't need any background whatsoever. As for his power, his magic power alone already surpassed S-rank magicians', let alone his unorthodox sound magic and extraordinary hearing. There was another consideration upon his ability, but all in all, Kai was already considered as the son-in-law of this family.

Bang!

A middle-aged guy was dealing with paperwork. He had blonde hair and blue crystal eyes like Michelle. His heart skipped a bit when Michelle slammed the door and rushed in.

"Michelle? You've finished your mission?" His shock turned into joy.

Sadly, it changed again into confusion as he heard Michelle say, "If you want your son-in-law alive, then we need to gather all our forces and go to Russia right now!"

"What son-in-law? Have you found another love besides Kai? But your dad is satisfied with Kai, you know…" The middle-aged guy was Michelle's father, Michael Graham.

"And do you think your daughter can fall in love with another person beside him?!" She gritted her teeth. "If you're not going to order our forces right now, he's going to die!"

"Wha-! He's going to die? Are you joking, my daughter? I can't take this joke."

"He is in Russia near Uelen and is currently besieged by magical beasts from all directions. There are a ton of reasons that could be explained later, but if you don't want him to die, then hurry up and order our people!" she shouted in distress. "Tasha has already unsealed his power and planted her space magic in his body. Do you understand now, Father?"

"!!!"

Michael was taken aback. If this weren't a prank, then it would be bad. He hadn't heard anything about United Asia advancing their skirmish to Russia and neither did their US Base, so Kai must be coming or fleeing to that place with a small group.

He sweatdropped as he immediately took out his communication device. "Immediately send words to all our people in Canada. They shall immediately head to Russia and save the Carter family. Make them go first, and I'll give you the coordinates later."

He ordered his most trusted aide as he looked at Michelle. "I need your communication device for his position. He activated the tracker, right?"

Michelle nodded and threw her device to her father.

He checked the coordinates first before nodding his head. He then looked at Michelle. "Tell your mother to replace me in today's meeting. After that, meet me in our tower as we'll fly there now."

Michelle nodded and left. She had yet to understand Kai's whole situation, but she knew he was in danger, and it was enough for her.

Because his father even made this order as an emergency that would shake the entire family, the preparations were completed in just an hour.

Their family was far bigger than Ayaka's family, and they even had two private fighting jets. The bullet and missiles were already reinforced by magic, so they should be enough to kill magical beasts. It was just that they weren't very cost-effective. If not, they would have already overturned the magical beasts.

Michael and Michelle arrived at the military base and immediately went to the commander of the army.

"Michael, you can't do this to me. Why have all of your people started making all of these preparations?" the commander shouted, leaving his assistant trembling on the side. The commander was a middle-aged man that seemed to have a certain relationship with Michael as even though he was shouting to him, there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. Meanwhile, his assistant was a woman, and she seemed a bit new here as her eyes were still a bit innocent.

"My son-in-law is in a perilous situation. I just want to tell you, if he died out there, I would have all my people leave this operation."

"Michael, are you planning to challenge the army?"

"Nope. If you're going to leave someone with a bigger potential than my daughter dying out there, then screw the army. I'm coming here just to inform you, although I'm not planning to challenge the army, I don't mind. Even my father will surely go all-out with the entire government about this." He snorted.

"What? Your rumored son-in-law is just a D-rank sound magician." The commander shouted.

"If you think about him as a mere D-rank magician, then I only have one word for you. Since you're already a commander as well as my war buddy before, I shall teach you one thing. Here, you might not know about the name of Kai Carter, but I'm sure you've heard the name of Leo," Michael said.

"!!!" The commander's body shook when he heard such an unbelievable thing. He stood up and slammed the table, "Michael-!"

Michael simply waved his hands as he walked out of the room. "That's all to it, and I'm sure you already know the importance of this. Well then, excuse me, I need to rescue my son-in-law."

Several helicopters then started flying, confusing many other people. They wanted to move a few tanks, but it needed to cross the sea, and it was practically impossible to move them in a few hours.

The commander's assistant couldn't help but ask, "Commander, who is this Leo?"

"Forget about it. That is an order," the commander said with a cold tone as he fell to his seat. "Have the soldiers fortify our current defense. We're not going to continue our invasion for two days."

"Yes!" The assistant immediately left the office.

"Sigh… Luckily, we've been progressing smoothly. The higher-ups shouldn't push this matter to us."
