My Level Zero System-Chapter 205: Split Up

When the other students came chasing after him, they only saw Kain with his cloak covering his body quickly running away after eliminating the other team members and taking the flag, so the pillar of light now moved towards him.

Although Kain had deliberately concealed his identity, the lightning combined with his strength that was enough to wipe out an ordinary team in an extremely short time made the other students immediately recognize that it was Kain.

Of course, this was also what Kain intentionally wanted to see.

At this moment, Kain was running across the sand dunes, with a girl hugging him tightly behind his back. Because the large cloak covered everything, outsiders would think that Kain was alone.

The girl's soft body pressed tightly against Kain's, so much so that she could feel his always steady heartbeat.

Even his expression didn't change.

This made the girl feel a little embarrassed, as if she was the only one behaving strangely here.

"I'm Jocelyn, to be honest I was surprised when you made that offer."

Jocelyn tried to make conversation, as a way to diffuse this somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"If you just need me as a distraction, that's not unusual. The flag is attached to me now, and it doesn't seem like it's going to fall off unless I'm eliminated. So I think you must want to throw me away at some point, so that I'm eliminated and you're safe, since you're not carrying the flag."

"But then you agreed to help us get into the next round, and from the captain's reaction, the probability of this happening is very high, why is that?"

Jocelyn's doubts were not without basis, but of course, Kain had his reasons.

"You have [Earth Magic]?"

"Yeah I have... wait how do you know?"

This is the point that Kain was aiming for.

As for knowing Jocelyn had [Earth Magic], it was nothing more than a guess.

Since she was the first one to come into contact with the flag, she must have been the one to dig up the flag.

But to do that, Jocelyn would need [Earth Magic]. At the same time, it was a habit of someone who found something they wanted to grab it right away. If it was something another member of the team found, how could Jocelyn go and touch the flag?

And that was what Kain needed, because he needed to find more flags.

Kain wasn't sure what Faith would do next, but he needed all the attention on him, and for that, a flag wasn't enough.

Jocelyn was still in shock, although she had heard of Kain's exploits from her captain, it was only when she met him in person that she realized how far apart they were.

The possibility of her captain and Kain colluding with each other beforehand was almost zero, because a lot of events were random, so for Kain to know that she was a Magus who used [Earth Magic] just by making contact was truly formidable.

"Tell me how you got the flag."

Kain's voice rang out, breaking Jocelyn's embarrassed mood. She cleared her throat, then spoke.

"So, we met another team, the captain of this team was called Faith, I think..."

"He shared with us how to find the flag, and he and his team are still searching hard. Faith said that weak teams like us should join forces to fight against stronger teams, so he shared that with us."

"We were lucky to find the flag so quickly, it's just unfortunate..."

Speaking of this, Jocelyn couldn't help but sigh. If she had been a little less hasty, her team wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

From beginning to end, she never suspected that Faith had intentionally created this situation. Perhaps in her eyes, Faith was still a person with good intentions.

Kain didn't care much, he didn't explain much, because it wasn't necessary, he just needed the big picture.

And the situation was not much different from what he had predicted, if anything, Kain's team was still unlucky that Jocelyn's team found the flag so early.

At this moment, two scattered teams chased and blocked Kain's way.

Jocelyn let out a small gasp, but forced herself to keep quiet.

Although he was very fast, the beam of light constantly shining above his head made his position exposed at any time, so it wasn't too difficult to block his path.

Looking at Kain's condition, they muttered, quickly analyzing the situation.

"The light from the flag cannot be concealed."

"The flag cannot be taken off once it has been accepted, unless perhaps eliminated from the tournament."

In the academy, there weren't many fools, let alone those who could enter the tournament, so when the facts were laid out in front of them, it wasn't difficult to deduce the above.

So, they decided to temporarily form an alliance and rush forward to seize the flag first.

Kain did not confront the obstacles head-on, but turned and ran away.

"Kain! Stop here and accept the challenge!"

"Kain, I thought you were a very brave person..."

Paying no attention to the clumsy provocations, he sped up, disappearing into the cover of the sand dunes.

Although the sand greatly limited Kain's ability to run and jump, the others were no different.

So, if he didn't count the pillar of light above his head, it only took him a moment to shake off his pursuers.

At the same time, in another location in the desert.

The four girls stopped in place, their expressions extremely serious.

"Mera, is this really the place?"

"Yeah, I can feel something stuck down there."

The two people who were talking were Mera and Myra.

While the others were silently keeping watch over their surroundings, Mera carefully "dug" down. She said she dug, but what she did was use [Earth Magic] to move the sand grains away, and at the same time create a path leading down below.

Finally, Mera saw what she wanted to see, a pedestal, with a cube the size of a fist floating above it.
