Chapter 441: Kai Vs Arnaud (1/2)

For the next three days, Kai ended up meeting with Leslie continuously, discussing their project. After learning that there were so many programs and measurements needed, Kai needed to contact Ayaka for all her measurements, saying that he was making a present for her.

Ayaka, of course, answered every single question, expecting the present.

Unfortunately, he also said that he hadn't found anything yet for Michelle and Tasha, so he apologized personally to them.

After three days, Kai finally met Arnaud again over a coffee. The two stared at each other for a few minutes as Sofia stood behind Kai while Roselyn waited behind Arnaud.

”You won't budge off your requirement?” Arnaud opened his mouth first, uttering a question.

Kai nodded. ”Five people… I, Sofia, Sir Jules, and Roselyn. You can choose the last one. There is no guarantee of success, but you will surely get something big when you have reached there. I will be the one in charge of this operation.”

Arnaud closed his eyes for a few seconds before coming up with four conditions. ”First, we are allowed to record the process for documentation. Second, we can do anything for you other than you telling us to sacrifice our lives. Third, if the situation has gone wrong, we are to call the Union to send reinforcements. Fourth, if we fail now and want to do it again in the future, you are to do it with us again, but we will send more people this time. You are not allowed to reject it.”

Kai narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. ”I understand. I will agree to it, but only when we are in agreement that you are allowed to call the Union for reinforcement. After all, our level of emergency is different.”

Arnaud agreed without hesitation. ”Alright. I will accept the terms. I will finalize the contract, so you can sign it tomorrow. The dispatch will be at least three days from now unless you have another requirement.”

Kai nodded and stretched his hand. ”Deal.”

”Deal.” Arnaud shook his hand with a serious expression before joking around. ”Do you know how much those people poked on me?”

Kai shrugged. ”You're an S Rank Magician too, right? Are you participating in this mission? Or is it someone else?”

”It's me because I have more knowledge regarding this area. My magic is Lightning Magic, but it's a different approach from your sister.”

”I know. Do you want a spar to know each other's power? I don't know about your and Sir Jules's power… While I can somehow understand the extent of Sir Jules's power through Sofia, I don't know anything about you.”

”Sure thing. This will be a light spar, so we don't need any virtual field. We will just use the school training ground to trade some blows. I think without a weapon is enough, right?”

”As long as you use your magic a little, I'm good.” Kai agreed, thinking that it should be enough to measure Arnaud's power.

”Then, let's go.” He nodded.

The two then stood up as Roselyn sweatdropped, wondering what kind of fight would happen in school since those two were S Rank Magicians.

Obviously, when they entered the school, both Kai and Arnaud became a trending topic as many students stopped what they were doing to watch their fight.

Arnaud took off his suit and pulled his long-sleeve until it was above his elbow. Kai also did the same and had Sofia taken care of the vest while stretching his body.

”What is this?”

”Are two S Rank Magicians going to fight?”

”This is only a spar it seems.”

”Still, it's exciting to watch Sir Arnaud's fight.”

”What do you mean? You should know that his opponent is the rising star Kai Carter, right?”

The students kept whispering with each other before an old man suddenly appeared in the middle of the field.

”Oi, oi! Do you guys want to do something exciting without telling me? I'm the principal at this school, you know.”

”Temporary!” Arnaud corrected him with a poker face.

”Do you want to fight Arnaud? I don't mind teaming up with him.” Jules's eyebrows twitched.

Arnaud only shrugged. ”This is only a light spar. No one will win in this fight.”

”Whatever. I will become the referee. Any objections?”

”Do what you want.” He shrugged while Kai nodded his head casually.

”Fine. Then start.” Jules once again pulled another absurd move, completely stopping their rhythm for a second.

Even Kai widened his eyes, looking at Jules with a dumbfounded expression. ”What?”

Suddenly, Arnaud appeared next to him as if taking advantage of his shock to hit him with his foot, but the situation turned out otherwise.
