My Level Zero System

Immediately after successfully destroying the Nightcrawler, Mera ignored the Crawlers climbing up from below the earthen wall and quickly returned to her original position.

"Remember, defense is key!"

Mera reinforced her command once more.

The battle continued, and it was thought that the situation would be peaceful for a while, but unexpectedly, not long after Mera killed the Nightcrawler, two new Nightcrawlers appeared, one after the other, approaching the battlefield.

Once again, Mera was pushed to the forefront.

After using [Fly] to fly high up, Mera began to control the surrounding air flow.

[Air Vortex]The two convective air currents swirled and rolled, pulling even more air into the vortex of death. Under Mera's control, the terrifying vortex of air pushed forward, instantly splitting the battlefield in two. The Crawler with weaker grip was thrown away, crashing violently into the deliberately reinforced buildings.

Screams and the sound of broken bones being twisted echoed endlessly, but all of them were suppressed by the howling wind.

Immediately, several monsters rose to their feet.

But Mera didn't mind.

All she wanted, or rather her purpose, was nothing more than to leave a large gap.

She accumulated [Air Slash] in her hand, then rushed down to fight the monster.

Seeing Mera daring to fight it hand to hand, the monster did not hesitate to reach out with all five fingers open.

Under such a giant fist, one would think that they could crush Mera's head.

However, Mera only stomped her foot slightly.

The hard ground beneath the monster's feet was suddenly pushed up uncontrollably.

However, this was all within Mera's expectations.

She pushed the ground up high, causing the monster's swinging arm to be grabbed.

The monster's massive black arm grazed Mera's head, even brushing past a lock of hair with its enormous force.

Mera felt like if she took this attack, her brain would shatter.

Unfortunately, the monster no longer had a chance.

Because Mera has released magic skill.

[Air Slash].

The blade created from condensed air flew out, slicing and knocking the Nightcrawler's head off, causing the monster's massive head to spin in the air in a brutal and comical manner.

Another Nightcrawler is dead.

Mera's enemies are left with only one Nightcrawler left.

Seeing Mera nearby, Nightcrawler switched from its charging form to its pouncing form.

Her vision immediately darkened, as the monster's massive body was about to envelop her.

At this moment, Mera made a motion of pushing her hands up into the air.

At her command, the air vortex transformed into an invisible pillar, shooting up from the ground and sending Nightcrawler flying.

This attack was short-lived, and its low power was no different than scratching the monster's itch.

But Mera needed to push it back, to buy herself some time.

Wanting to unleash an [Air Slash] powerful enough to cut through Nightcrawler's skin was no easy feat.

However, the situation only got worse.

Another Nightcrawler has appeared.

This made Mera's expression finally change.

Four Nightcrawlers appeared one after another.

Could this get any worse?

A sentence popped into Mera's head that she didn't know whether to define as a question or an exclamation.

But it doesn't matter.

Because reality seemed to have heard her questioning, and reality gave an answer.

Yes, it could be worse.

The stunned Crawlers had now fully regained their senses and regained their fighting power, which left Mera in the midst of the enemy army.

From behind, there were students shouting as if they wanted to come to support, but Mera shouted back.

"Stay there! Do you want to rush to your death?"

Saying this, she couldn't help but look back at herself now.

"What's different about me?"

"This is fucking... this situation..."

Mera laughed at herself, then began to silently curse the unfair reality.

Still, want her to give up fighting? Keep dreaming.

[Air Scream].

Mera took a breath, then let out a thunderous scream.

The sound and pressure were like heavy blows, causing the Crawlers who had just stood up to fall down all at once.

Mera reacted extremely quickly, an [Air Slash] that had been accumulated until now was released by her, shooting towards one of the two charging Nightcrawlers.

A sharp cutting sound rang out, unfortunately the attack was deflected, the Nightcrawler only had one arm cut off and slowed down.

It's not dead.

And the remaining Nightcrawler, still in full strength.

The monster's fist swung down. Like a giant boulder falling from an avalanche.

Mera felt like she was about to be crushed.

Her whole body was tired and tense, even moving an arm was a waste of energy.

In the end, she could only pull out everything she had to block this attack.

Wind, fire and earth.

The three elements of nature exploded, creating a magnificent scene amidst the mist, like a colorful flower blooming amidst a gloomy gray painting.

Beautiful, but also so short-lived.

Mera is still alive.

The academy uniform blocked most of the monster's attack, which kept her from being injured enough to lose consciousness.

However, her condition was not much better.

She felt short of breath, extremely short of breath.

Her eyes gradually blurred, even hallucinating.

This is a symptom that flares up when the mind is kept active at high intensity for too long.

Even though intensive training has made students like Mera trained to endure this problem to a certain extent, it does not mean they are immune to this condition.

Even the trade-off for the ability to fight for long is that the symptoms become even more severe, if Magus increases this too quickly in too short a time.

This is similar to physical training.

During the first period of training, you will easily get tired, that is because your body cannot adapt to such high intensity of exercise.

But after a while, you no longer feel tired, which helps you to keep moving. However, because of that, you ignore the small signs from your body, causing the body that is clearly "not tired" to get injured.

In essence, this is because the human body is not a threshold that can be accurately measured through the feeling of "tired" or "healthy".

If a human's limit is ten, then once you push your standard to six, to seven, the body will start to show signs of exhaustion.

This is the body's defense mechanism.

However, if you continue to practice as in the example above, you will no longer feel tired, not because your limit has increased to eleven or twelve, but because the warning levels of six and seven have been gradually pushed back to eight and nine, while your real limit is still ten.

Then you won't have a standard level to define your own fatigue level, and when your tolerance hits ten…

You will collapse, like a string stretched to the breaking point.

The body is like that, the mind is like that.

At this moment, Mera had many hallucinations, flashing before her eyes.

Many, so many…

She saw her mother, her father, her sister, people she was close to, or at least people she knew by sight…

Little by little, like old drawings being brought out from a corner of her memory that she had long forgotten.

Finally, all gathered into one solid back.

Even though she couldn't see his face, Mera still recognized who he was.

"Kain, I'm sorry..."

She didn't think that the first time he gave her a big responsibility would be the time she failed.

He clearly trusted her and yet…

Mera felt very guilty.

Suddenly, that back responded.

"Mera, I'm the one who should be apologizing."

"I'm back."

Before Mera could react, Kain carried her princess style.

Mera only felt her head leaning against an extremely hot chest, as if a blazing forge was burning, but not only was it not burning, this forge was actually extremely warm.

For a moment, Mera was enchanted.

She said dreamily.

"Kain, I'm a little tired, can I... get some sleep..."

"Of course, you deserve it. Close your eyes, I've got it all here."

"Sleep well, Mera."

As Kain's gentle voice ended, Mera's consciousness fell into sleep.

Perhaps, this was the first time she pushed herself to the point of losing consciousness like this.

Thinking of this, Kain's face darkened.

He looked at the ferocious monsters around him, an indescribable ferocity emanating from his eyes, something that seemed to have been suppressed deep within his heart.

Thunder erupted, two [Thunder Spear]s rolled out, aiming straight at the two Nightcrawlers.

A lightning net appeared, quelling all the Crawler that were about to attack.

The situation has turned around in a flash.

Now, Kain is the hunter, and everything that moves within his sight is prey.
