My Level Zero System-Chapter 218: Sow seeds
Kain is unconscious.
This was something he had predicted, or rather, something that would definitely happen if he carried out this plan.
Although this would make it difficult for him to control the time he woke up, it would be a disaster if tomorrow morning when his team had to face Cecilia's challenge in the first round, while he still hadn't woken up.
And to make sure this didn't happen, [Thunder Flash] used concentrated electricity to stimulate his nervous system, in order to quickly wake him up.
And though he could not see the end, Kain still had strong faith that Mera had done it.
…
He is not awake yet.
On the contrary, his consciousness seemed to sink deeper, deeper into the deepest parts, where the wildest fantasies and the most insane dreams reigned.
He saw that scene again.
The city was in ruins, smoke and fire billowing, as if it had just experienced a terrible devastation.
Kain's thoughts seemed to freeze, feeling as if he could only passively absorb all this abstract information before his eyes.
His will tried to break this blockade, but his efforts were like an ant trying to push a rock.
"Run, Kain..."
"Run..."
The voice rang out again, vague, strange yet extremely familiar.
Suddenly, Kain felt his heart... if he really had a heart in his dream. Was tightening.
His chest ached, and in his head there was a sound screaming for him to answer that sound.
But he couldn't.
The dream is shattered, pulling Kain back into the real world.
He opened his eyes.
He saw a familiar face very close to him, asking with a worried voice.
"Kain, why are you... crying?"
"I... cried?"
Kain was surprised, he raised his hand to touch the corner of his eye, and sure enough he felt something wet there.
"That weird..."
Kain muttered, completely clueless to this.
Even the memory of that dream shattered and disappeared as quickly as a bubble, leaving only an afterimage in his mind.
Kain was helped to sit up by Mera. Seeing her still uneasy expression, he could only find an excuse.
"I'm fine, maybe the pressure has been too much lately so my tear glands can't control themselves."
Mera pursed her lips for a moment, then nodded. Consider accepting his explanation.
Even though deep down she didn't feel that way.
"Oh, where is everyone?"
Kain asked and looked around.
The room where he and Mera were staying was a private room. Although the team's accommodation was generally called a "rest room", to avoid inconvenience in daily life, this place of course had separate rooms for each member to use, and even had amenities like a hot tub and a training room.
"Everyone is celebrating outside for defeating Cecilia. It's already evening, tomorrow will be the last day of this round."
"Night? Luckily, there's still time, thanks Mera."
"Nothing, what are you trying to..."
"Wait a moment and I'll be back. Please tell everyone to get organized, because I want to let them know."
"Strategy to defeat Cecilia a second time."
To Mera's surprise, Kain left the room.
He slowly walked out of the break room, approaching Cecilia's team's break area. He slowly walked out of the break room, approaching Cecilia's team's break area.
As he expected, this time he saw not just one, but four people from Cecilia's team standing outside.
Given Cecilia's personality, she was definitely extremely angry. This type of person, when angry, would often choose to vent it on people or things around them, causing her weaker teammates to have no choice but to go out to avoid the sharp edge.
And this is Kain's chance.
Seeing Kain coming, not only did they not show any hatred, but they also raised their hands to greet him and praised that Kain had done an excellent job in today's match, which truly made them, the people following Cecilia, admire and respect him.
Kain also humbly said thanks, gaining more favor from the four of them.
In this situation, a Kain who won without being arrogant and a stubborn Cecilia who refused to accept defeat seemed to have formed a clear gap. Making even her teammates sigh.
After chatting for a while, Kain saw the right moment and began to lead the conversation.
"You know, actually as an opponent, I didn't expect a victory like this."
Kain sighed, they saw that and couldn't help but doubt.
"Isn't winning against Cecilia enough to satisfy you?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Kain smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
"But this tournament, although most of us came for that untouchable prize, the essence of this tournament is to let the students compete and improve."
"Oh, what you say makes... sense..."
"I'm not kidding, did you see those two teams? Even though they haven't scored any points in the past three days, they've still improved at a rapid pace. If you don't believe me, you can compare them from the first day to now."
"Oh, it's just like you said. Even though you don't get any points, the experience and knowledge are the rewards, right?"
"Yeah, that's what I mean."
Kain smiled, his eyes looking into the distance.
"So, I want to win against Cecilia's team, not just Cecilia. That's the real match."
"You shouldn't lose like this."
Kain's words moved them.
They thought of this scene, that even though they were in the strongest team, their existence was no different from useless ghosts that could only stand behind. They didn't mind having all the glory taken away by Cecilia, but they didn't want to sink like this forever, they also wanted to prove themselves.
Thinking back to those other teams, even though they were much weaker, even though they didn't get any points, but in this round, they displayed their talent to the fullest, burning themselves like a blazing fire.
"To be honest, if you guys had fought her today, we probably would have lost."
Having said that, Kain looked intently at these four people.
He knew his words had touched the emotions of these people.
They were all young people, all had their own passion, but Cecilia stubbornly held back this passion.
Therefore, with just the right situation and a few flowery words, he could stir up the passion in their hearts.
"But, Cecilia told us..."
Someone asked, obviously still a little concerned.
In response, Kain just shook his head and said.
"I understand what you mean, you probably don't want to upset Cecilia. But what if she was in a dangerous situation like today? And what if in that moment you rushed out to save her from a losing game? Do you think she would scold you? No, she would be very surprised, and also very grateful, because she doesn't want to lose."
"By then, all of you will be standing by her side, fighting by her side."
"You understand, right?"
With a captivating voice, Kain lures these naive lambs into a beautiful vision of them becoming saviors, impressing the girl they admire.
In his heart, Kain silently apologized to them.
Looking at this appearance, he has already completed the final step of the plan.
"Forgive me."
They were extremely excited, then shook hands with Kain and thanked him profusely for showing them a bright path.
"Hope to have a good fight with you tomorrow."
"I hope so."
"See you again."
"See you again, too."
The two sides separated with completely different moods.
The other four were extremely excited.
As for Kain, he glanced at the four backs, and in the end, he could only sigh.
…
The other four returned to the break room.
At this moment, Cecilia seemed to have completely calmed down, sitting absent-mindedly amidst the chaos around her.
"Um... Cecilia?"
One of the four people called out to her, his voice a bit timid.
Cecilia did not reply, only turning her head slightly. Her white pupils reflected the images of the other four people. freёwebnoѵel.com
She narrowed her eyes slightly, clearly sensing their strange mood.
At this moment, Cecilia was in a state of extreme anger, extreme vigilance, and extremely suspicious of anything happening around her.
"Are they... having fun?"
"No, they were still sad before, what changed them?"
"Kain?"
"That's right, if Kain takes the opportunity to meet them…"
"So why are they happy?"
"Rejoicing because I failed?"
"Could it be..."
"They're completely on Kain's side? Traitors?"
"Although my suspicions were wrong in the previous match, but..."
"What if he's saving this hidden card for the final match tomorrow?"
"Yes, yes! Of course it is!"
