My Level Zero System

There are many details that can prove this, such as the fact that Mera's mother always told her to stay away from magic at all costs, but this very emphasis is problematic.

This kind of binding without any weight not only failed to keep Mera away from magic, but instead made her even more curious about magic. This was a kind of psychological reaction, but it was extremely typical and easy to exploit.

Like a provocation.

And reality has proven that. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire

Mera not only came into contact with magic, but she came into contact very deeply.

But she was very careful, perhaps because of her intuition, so Mera never let herself fall into true exhaustion.

But all of this, the purpose of keeping Mera alive longer was only so that she would become a more durable shield for her own mother.

Kain could even make a more malicious guess, that Mera's father meeting her mother was not a coincidence, but was premeditated.

Mera's mother, a woman who was running away from a dangerous enemy and needed to create a front to hide herself, but she didn't want to endure a life of poverty, so she secretly befriended a minor noble, just enough to ensure her own luxury…

So it's understandable why Mera seems so suffocated, because this is a secret that she can't seem to share with anyone.

She didn't have many acquaintances, and she had very few friends. Her social friends basically didn't understand her problem, and she didn't want this to spread.

Myra, on the other hand, could not know.

For some reason, Kain thought that perhaps since they were young, their mother had given more love to Mera, which led to Myra becoming jealous of her own sister in her heart.

And when their mother disappeared, this jealousy of love turned into hatred.

So, if Mera were to tell Myra this conjecture, there would only be two possible outcomes.

At first, Myra understood and sympathized. There was nothing to say in this case.

As for the second case, Myra was certain... it went without saying. The mother she adored, loved, and wanted revenge for the rest of her life was the very cause of their family's breakdown.

This ridiculously contrasting sarcasm, coming from the family's most beloved child.

This would cause Myra, who was already secretly jealous of Mera, to explode. She would inflict pain on her sister that none of them should have to endure. Worse still, she might accuse Mera and take out her hatred on her.

An emotional person is not scary, what is more scary is a rational person becoming emotional. Compared to emotional people, these people can easily come up with reasons to cover up their minds, making them think they are doing the right thing.

In other words, the reason for becoming emotional is blindness.

As long as the mother in Myra's impression was a good person, then Mera's words would never touch her heart.

That was also the reason why Mera didn't dare tell her sister about this.

But if she didn't say it, Mera thought she would explode.

Luckily, Kain is here.

And he always understood.

"Kain... after the tournament ends..."

"Can we go back to your village?"

"No problem, they always welcome us."

Kain smiled and said

The corners of Mera's lips also curled up, she closed her eyes, her breathing also became even, as if she had fallen asleep.

…

The next day.

Kain, Mera, Myra, and Katie spread the word about a selection for a fifth member of their team. The main purpose was to try their luck.

After the trial in the Misty Dungeon, under the countless accounts of the survivors, in the trial with the highest survival rate of all first-year students, Kain's reputation was completely burned.

At the same time, his strength has been confirmed, so his team also has much more hope of going deeper into the tournament.

Kain wanted to attract a strong, ambitious comrade as much as possible.

Because ambition is easy to promote, especially when the two sides do not have a foundation of knowing each other before.

Indeed, some people because of insufficient strength, no force invited them to come to Kain to try their luck, but Kain quickly rejected most of them, because he saw through everything, saw that these people came here only with the mentality of wanting to depend, sitting back and enjoying the benefits to gain achievements, not really wanting to promote the team's strength.

This kind of ally, Kain would rather not have, the other girls in the team also agreed with him.

Some people even fished in troubled waters, intentionally approaching this audition to approach the girls with impure intentions, but Kain saw through it all, and without any mercy, kicked them all out.

There are always show-offs.

Time passed by, and there were only two days left of the one-week deadline. Just when they were at a loss and Kain was planning to temporarily choose a student, someone suddenly appeared and caught his attention.

It was a female student named Elna, with a healthy and energetic appearance, and her magic was [Water Magic] with magic progress reaching mid-class. A perfect addition to Kain's team.

And when Kain asked her why she wanted to come here and join them, Elna answered frankly.

"No particular reason. I'm just really, really interested in you."

As soon as she finished saying this, Elna immediately felt two gazes staring at her, but she didn't pay any attention, even trying to grab Kain's hand.

At this moment, Mera stood up and interrupted, grabbed Elna's hand and shook it affectionately.

"Hello, I'm Mera, we'll be teammates from now on, hope to be of help."

"Me too, the returning students also talk a lot about your achievements."

The two talked for a while and then separated, but when Elna wasn't paying attention, Mera whispered softly into Kain's ear.

"I saw that she had bad intentions so I did that, I didn't want to ruin it."

"Oh, is that so?"

Not only was Kain not dissatisfied, he instead gave a meaningful smile, causing Mera to seem to understand something. Her face turned slightly red, and she nudged him lightly with her elbow.
