My Level Zero System

Kain lowered his arm.

The mountain of corpses before him had grown so large that they had piled up on the path, forcing Kain to burn some of them to make them less obstructive to his vision.

Even though the fog blocked most of it, the terrible smell still reached Kain's nose, causing him to grimace.

No more monsters appeared, the attacks were over.

Kain of course also reaped huge rewards.

He was only one skill point away from upgrading [Enhancement Magic] from [★] to [★★].

The reason why Kain saved up until now was because he wanted to enter a state of sublimation once again.

The information gained from that time is also invaluable.

"Alright, let's do it."

Kain activates the system.

The final skill point is poured into the magic.

Kain's spirit was once again freed from the quagmire of reality, soaring through the phases…

Or it was just a fleeting illusion.

This time, Kain was not so lucky, he was unable to enter the sublimation state, but this was just a normal level up.

Feeling the powerful energy circulating throughout his body, Kain could only blame himself for being too greedy.

Sublimation is a state that many Magus dream of, being able to reach it twice in a row is already extremely lucky.

Many Magus, in their entire lives, have never even tasted what "sublimation" is, and because of that, many Magus die of old age, stuck and unable to progress any further.

For Kain, the sublimation state only helped him refresh his information and perceive things that were beyond his current reach, but it did little to advance his magical training. Because Kain's talent was close to zero.

Still have to rely on the system.

Kain quickly adjusted his mood and observed the system.

Very quickly, new magic skill lines below [Enhancement Magic] appeared before his eyes.

-[Enhancement Magic ★★]:

+[Enhancement Mind level 0] 0/300

+[Enhancement Sense level 0] 0/100

+[Enhancement Magic level 0] 0/500

Looking at this huge amount of consumption, even Kain felt extremely dizzy.

But looking at the most expensive magic skill, his mood returned to normal.

[Enhancement Magic].

The effect of this thing is already shown on its name.

Once Kain has this magic skill, any of his magic skills can be enhanced with an additional layer of enhancement.

Strategically and in combat, the implications of this were clear to Kain without much thought.

Kain had a hunch that, even though his skills like [Thunder Spear] were currently only at level 1, if they were activated together with [Enhancement Magic level Max], the power the magic skill would produce would directly reach the level of [Thunder Spear level Max].

Of course, the number of skill points needed to upgrade [Thunder Spear] to Max level is much less than upgrading [Enhancement Magic] to Max level. But if he successfully does so, it would be like Kain owning a set of magic skills that, even though they are only level 1, are comparable to Max level magic skills, even if only in terms of power.

Although upgrading [Enhancement Magic] costs a lot, it can't be compared to the cost of all the other magic skills combined.

Looking at the remaining 47 skill points, Kain gritted his teeth and invested these skill points into [Enhancement Magic].

[Enhancement Magic level 0] 47/500 (+47)

This can also be considered good news.

Kain thought to himself, at this moment, a few footsteps sounded behind him.

"Captain?"

A call came from the five students that Kain had assigned to stop anything that might accidentally get in.

Of course Kain wouldn't let anything through his defenses.

"I'm fine!"

Kain was out of breath to announce.

It seems that they saw no signs of fighting for a long time so they wanted to check.

As for them calling him captain, Kain did not correct their form of address, nor did he forbid it.

After a little more consideration, confirming that there would be no more large-scale monster invasions, Kain felt reassured.

Seeing Kain appear, the five students assigned to guard the area let out a sigh of relief.

"Captain, news has just been sent from the other side of the battlefield. The battle there is almost over."

"Is it almost over?"

This time, Kain looked slightly surprised.

According to his calculations, the students defending there should still be fighting a stalemate. He was planning to go over there to gain some more skill points.

"Okay, I got it. Rearrange the bells for me."

Kain then left.

The other five students also went to the place where Kain had fought before. Looking at the pile of corpses and the terrible battlefield that Kain had caused, the five of them looked at each other, stunned.

…

Mera, who was currently being escorted back to the base by other students.

They were all young and talented Magus, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn't feel envious of someone becoming a mid-class Magus, because they thought that sooner or later they would reach that level themselves. However, this was not a normal situation, but a tense battle with death at hand. Even the Magus, who were used to overwhelming their enemies from a distance, could smell the scent of monster blood rushing straight into their noses.

At that time, their mood swings would increase much higher than usual, also exaggerating their emotions a lot. So after Mera entered the battle as a mid-class Magus, powerfully and majestically quelling the monster attack, feelings of worship towards Mera would overflow within the students.

This feeling will weaken over time, because their mental balance will return to normal, but at this moment, they are indeed worshipping Mera.

Returning to the base, Mera found Kain sitting on a chair, smiling at her as if welcoming her back.

"Kain!"

"Mera, congratulations."

Kain smiled and said.

"How did you know I was..."

"I didn't know you had advanced to mid-class Magus. I just saw everyone looking at you with admiration, I thought it was a good thing."

"Wait a minute..."

Mera stared at Kain, her voice filled with doubt.

"You read my mind again?"

"How would I know? Honestly... I'm surprised too."

Kain said with an innocent look.

Mera then also laughed.

Actually, he had already guessed that someone would become a mid-class Magus since he received the information.

Kain already knew the strength of these students quite well, so he knew that with the students' current strength, even if they cooperated, they wouldn't be able to change the battle situation too much.

But if there was a big change on the battlefield, it must be because someone had become a mid-class Magus.

A few names already appeared in Kain's mind, Mera was also on the list, but he didn't expect that this newly promoted mid-class Magus was actually Mera.

If it was Mera, he would have been relieved.

A while later, the other four members of the team, including Myra, Leo, Hector, and Katie, also returned to the base. The six of them sat around the wooden table as usual, with Kain at the head and Mera beside him. Normally, their eyes would be more focused on Kain, however, today the eyes of the other four people were looking at Mera more often.

"It seems the impact she caused wasn't as small as I thought. This seems pretty good."

Kain thought to himself, then he tapped the table as was his habit before they planned to discuss anything serious.

"This is very important, so I hope everyone listens and considers it carefully."

Kain let out a sentence, then quickly observed everyone's expressions.

Worried, but not terrified, at the same time their pupils constricted, proving that they had not lost focus.

Kain needed to confirm this, because what he said next was a bit long and complicated, if one didn't concentrate one wouldn't be able to understand even if he explained it thoroughly.

"Okay, I'll speak slowly."

Kain arranged the words in his mind for a moment, and began to speak.

What he said was a simulation of Kain's entire thought process, all the way up to his final conclusion.

At first, everyone seemed focused, but by the time Kain was more than halfway through, Leo and Hector's pupils had already begun to disintegrate.

But Kain still had to speak.

Next, about the plan, this is much simpler so everyone understands.

"Mera, I will be leaving secretly for a while, can you temporarily take my spot?"

Kain spoke sincerely. But Mera remained silent.

In her heart, she naturally didn't want Kain to leave, but Kain had said so much before to convince her, to reassure her.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

Kain smiled gently. Mera saw that and nodded.

Instead of worrying so much, she should help Kain properly.

Seeing this, Kain felt somewhat reassured.
