My Level Zero System

Just as Kain finished speaking, a pillar of light suddenly appeared from afar and shot straight up into the sky. Its brilliance immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Kain's team.

The girls in the team were all shocked speechless, because what Kain said had become true, the "flag" was indeed something that gave the owner a status symbol, causing the team with the flag to immediately enter the range of vision of all the other teams.

This is like eliminating yourself.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly feel lucky. Luckily they weren't on that unlucky team.

However, Kain frowned.

He didn't expect that someone would quickly deduce the real location of the hidden flag, nor did he expect that someone who knew [Earth Magic] would be able to find the flag. He even expected this scene.

However, it all happened so quickly.

Although from the moment Kain was brought in here, he was able to think of this extremely quickly, and it only took him a little while to explain it to everyone.

But not everyone is like Kain, at least when it comes to focus.

Therefore, there must be someone who possesses the ability to think and reason just as well as him, or even surpass him. After thinking of these things, this person must have incited another team to take the flag.

Faith.

That was the name that popped into Kain's head.

At the same time, he glanced at Elna, then returned to his original state.

Let's assume the culprit is Faith.

Faith also belonged to the type of team that hid their strength, so unlike Kain, he had plenty of time and circumstances to take the flag and advance to the next round. So Faith shouldn't have needed to do this.

Unless, there was some reason for Faith to do so.

Kain thought of himself, thought of his team, and instantly understood.

That damn blond guy sure made a good move.

…

At the same time, not too far from the pillar of light.

Faith stood watching the pillar of light, the corners of his mouth turning up. He was really quite lucky this time.

Or rather, Kain was quite unlucky.

As Kain thought, Faith was the one who passed on the method of finding the flag to another team.

And it's really not clear whether this team is lucky or unlucky, as soon as Faith gave them the method to find the flag, they found it.

But the most important part, which is not to come into direct contact with the flag, he did not mention it.

Of course, Faith didn't want to clash with Kain yet, this game was still long, so this was just a small challenge he gave Kain.

And one more factor to consider is that Kain would not fall for a small trap like this.

At this moment, the desert surrounding the pillar of light became hotter than ever.

Many teams in the nearest area were rushing here, causing the team holding the flag to turn pale.

The four members of the team looked towards a girl who was now glowing like a lamppost, and the light was even shooting straight up into the sky, like a signal announcing her location at every moment.

"Wh...what to do? Captain..."

The girl trembled as she called out to the team captain, who opened his mouth when asked, but couldn't think of anything.

This wasn't exactly the girl's fault, it was mainly because they were too hasty.

If they could have slowed down a bit, they might have made it to the round of sixteen.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed from afar, all the team members became alert, entering a fighting stance.

Even though they were in a panic, that didn't mean they were scared out of their wits.

Dare to enter here, no one is afraid to enter a battle, even if that battle has no chance of winning.

Being tense, but when the team captain saw the face of the person who just appeared, he unconsciously cried out.

"Captain!"

The other members all stared. Their team captain calls someone else captain?

"Sorry, habit."

The captain scratched his head, and Kain also recognized who this person was. One of the strong students in the previous trial, his strength had also reached the peak of low-class Magus.

If you are already acquainted, this may be a little easier.

"Kain, while we respect you greatly, we..."

When he wanted to continue saying that they would still fight to the end, Kain shook his head and interrupted.

"I'll be quick, you know there's not much time."

"I will take that girl with me, and eliminate the other members of the team including you. Of course, she will still be kept under my protection until the end, because I need a target to help me attract the eyes and ears of the other opponents."

"Therefore, even if four out of five people on your team are eliminated, your team will still advance to the next round. Because the flag bearer for the team is still there."

"Make a decision."

Kain spoke very quickly, causing the captain to take a few seconds to understand his intention. His face became joyful as if he had just escaped a difficult obstacle, and he quickly bowed his head to thank Kain.

The other members including the girl also reacted to Kain's proposal. They never expected that, thinking that this would be a losing battle, Kain would come and give them a way out.

"Don't worry, Kain can be trusted, I can guarantee it with my dignity."

The captain patted his chest. Compared to the students who only knew about Kain through stories, a student who fought alongside him for a long time obviously had a more intuitive and clear view of Kain.

The girl holding the flag also looked at Kain with curiosity.

Very quickly, the decision was made.

Although being used as bait wasn't something that sounded glorious, in return Kain would do his best to help them get into the next round, this exchange was too good for them. Even if Kain failed, they wouldn't lose anything, because their mistake was already enough to get their team eliminated.
