_"Blah blah blah,"_ Nicolas trailed off after she spoke. He stepped forward and tapped his chin; he started to zone her out once she start mentioning things that did not concern him. Biting his thumb, he thought about what she asked. Nicolas honestly was not a full sound mage. He controlled vibrations. Vibrations were the entree and sound happened to be the sides. He never really threw voices around or sounds. Phones has been focusing on other moves and trying to perfect them first! Nicolas tilted his head; he turned over to the red-haired woman. "Got it," Phones was going to take a shot at this. If there was ever first time, this would be it. The importance of this mission did not seem that high anyways considering this is his first mission for the guild. Phones doubted they would ensure succession from a person they picked up from a train. He placed his headphones over his ears. "Sounds don't really work that way. Amplifying them will only make them louder and increase in volume. We will hear them, but they would find it weird why everyone is yelling." He breathed calmly. "I'm going to create a baby monitor effect. We hear them, they don't hear us. I've done this all the time," Nicolas lied. "Oh, and by the way," he stared intently at the red-haired woman. "Slap me and I will not hesitate..." Nicolas ended off there with mystery and began concentrating. He listened to some music to enter his own sanctuary. Seeing how this was going to be a new trick, he needed some peace and quiet. Song Choice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDtg2kwTvhE The melody helped him put more focus into finding certain vibrations. He tapped his fingers on his other wrist to count the number of vibes. Nicolas then started forming a compressed clear ball in his hands. Another similar clear ball would have appeared inside with magic council too. It was similar to a barrier and the size of a basketball. Nicolas felt it in his hands; he was not sure what to make of it. _"Well, I have no idea what you do little guy,"_ Phones inspected it in his hands. **"Nope Jamie does what Jamie does.** Nicolas smiled, he was starting to hear multiple voices from the ball. _"I'm such a badass,"_ Phones knew at his point that anything was possible for him. _"I think I'm going to call you...'Sound Ball. That's a great name. Not sure what good you'll do in combat."_ Nicolas thought. He tossed the sound ball at the red-haired woman. Probably not the best idea at the moment as he did not know of the consequences if it had shattered. "Catch," he warned. Nicolas proceeded to listen to his headphones after his task was finished. Mentally, he prepared himself and proceeded to stretch his legs and arms. Nicolas was not too sure of his magic capabilities and if he was 100% successful. There was no telling if he accidentally messed up his spell. Instead of a baby monitor, he could have made a telephone. We hear them...they hear us. He suspected if that happened there probably would be conflict. _"Be ready for anything, Nick."_ He was not too worried. With how much Phoenix Wing boasted about themselves, they probably could beat a "Magic Counsel." _"What the hell is a magic counsel anyways?"_
