My Level Zero System

Day two.

After everyone woke up, they all had breakfast, and then waited for the next challenge signal.

Kain hoped that his team would not need to challenge him so soon, but he had prepared for this.

"First match of the day."

The signal from the arena rang out, and Kain's team and another team were placed on the field.

On the opposite side, is the other team.

Because of this match, Kain had already grasped the order in which each team would enter the arena.

This is quite beneficial in determining the time period to diffuse the advantage.

Kain deduced that today was not their day of challenge yet. Because if this was their day of challenge, they would meet the team that lost yesterday in the very first match.

But even if it wasn't, Kain still had time to do what he needed to do.

The match begins.

Because of the experience from yesterday, the opposing team was not so easily defeated. Kain charged forward, but more than half of the arena had been turned into a jagged fortification with plenty of cover.

It could be said that they reacted very quickly. But Kain still had a trump card.

"Mera!"

Kain shouted loudly, Mera understood what he meant, immediately used the magic skill [Fly] to launch an air strike from the sky, threatening the other side not to dare to show their heads. At the same time, Kain also secretly signaled Elna and Myra behind him, attack as hard as possible, even if it doesn't cause actual damage, it doesn't matter.

Kain could tell from looking that this team learned the previous team's defense, also arranging complex terrain like this. This tactic has the advantage of being difficult to lose immediately, but it also has the disadvantage of completely shifting the team's orientation to defense. Using defense as the first and core move is not ineffective, but when you hide behind a wall, the wall will also shield you from your enemies, and if your enemies are smart, they will just wait for you to show your head and counterattack.

So, once Kain saw through this situation, the other team's defeat was already decided.

"Damn it! They're attacking so fiercely! Aren't these people afraid of running out of energy?"

The team leader couldn't help but complain, he was a mid-class Magus with [Fire Magic], and his [Spirit Magic] and [Enhancement Magic] were still low-class. He thought that their team might have a chance, but from the start Kain didn't play the probing card, but directly fired with his teammates. Leaving them in a dilemma.

Using [Imitative], the captain couldn't help but sigh as he thought about his decision.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

Not far away, another team member asked in confusion.

This person is also a mid-class Magus, possessing [Earth Magic]. Even though she cannot use any mid-class magic skills yet, just using her mid-class advantage alone has made the magic skills in her hands display outstanding power, and thanks to her, this team was able to successfully capture a flag in the screening round.

It can be said that both of them are the pillars of the team, just like Kain and Mera.

"Okay, I have a plan."

"I have to try to defend well, I will... create a mid-class magic skill."

The captain's plan was simple, pretending that they could only rely on the weak points to resist, while constantly weakening to lead Kain's team deeper, at that time, he with the mid-class magic skill he had already cast could proceed to liberate.

What he wanted to do, of course, was to eliminate one of the other team's two pillars.

At the same time, both his [Imitative] and [Seek] would activate alternately, tightly grasping the changes on the field, or at least his team's side of the field.

"No one is weak."

Going into this battle, Kain couldn't help but admit it.

Even though they were stronger, they couldn't defeat this team for a while.

[Fire Cannon].

A powerful attack from Kain was unleashed, instantly blowing away part of the defense.

However, as soon as Kain destroyed part of the defense, new walls and stone pillars were pushed up haphazardly, covering up the destroyed part.

This was not beyond Kain's expectations, they obviously realized their previous wrong move, so they were determined to follow it to the end.

In that case, how will they turn defeat into victory?

Just then, Myra's voice came through.

"Kain, the other side's counterattack density seems to be weakening."

Obviously, there were some things that could not be hidden from someone with a sharp eye like Myra.

Kain also vaguely realized this.

Before, he knew that the opposing team had a captain who possessed a strong [Fire Magic]. But just now, even Kain could see that the counterattacks using [Fire Magic] had decreased a lot. Coupled with the fact that the defense from [Earth Magic] was getting tighter even though the intensity of Kain's team's attacks had not changed, then there was only one possibility.

The other side is looking to bet on a move to decide victory or defeat, or at least regain the advantage.

But to do that, it seems that the captain with [Fire Magic] is the key.

Kain's eyes flashed, quickly figuring out the other team's plan.

But if he had seen through the opponent's plan, the way for Kain to deal with it was also very simple.

"Elna, flood that whole place for me!"

At Kain's command, Elna immediately activated her magic, crazily pulling water from the air, turning it into giant water balls and throwing them at the other team's rocky battlefield, so much water that it caused flooding.

Because the soil and rock have to rise to create columns and walls, naturally there will be parts of the soil and rock that sink down, creating an opportunity for water to accumulate.

"Flooding? What are they doing that for..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the girl with [Earth Magic] on the other team's pupils constricted, and almost immediately, she proceeded to lift the standing positions of all the members on her side above the water. Because right after that…

[Thunder Descend].

A huge amount of lightning struck down, just as it was about to form a destructive combination, the captain stood up, the explosive power releasing the blocking magic skill [Thunder Descend].

This saved his faction members, but also consumed his only trump card.

The captain's expression turned heavy, as if he had foreseen his team's defeat.

Judging by this trend, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

In that shot just now, if he hadn't blocked [Thunder Descend], his team would have suffered heavy losses, even if he eliminated a pillar on the opposing side, there would be no chance of turning the tables.

If he were to block [Thunder Descend], then he would have exhausted his team's trump card, and Kain, seeing this, would not allow him to do so again.

Keep fighting, losing is certain.

He thought to himself, perhaps he had been so focused on formulating his strategy that he had failed to notice how this strategy would affect different opponents. For example, this time, if it weren't for them turning the flat arena into a fortification, Kain wouldn't have been able to use this move of filling his feet with water and then releasing lightning to strike.

Therefore, when formulating a plan or strategy, it is absolutely necessary not to simulate it only from a rigid model perspective, but also to consider additional variables that may be encountered.

After a moment of hesitation, the captain surrendered on behalf of the whole team. It was better to lose early to prepare better and save energy for the next match, than to be defeated miserably and be exhausted before the next match.

This decision of his surprised Kain a bit, but after thinking about it for a moment, he understood.

Everyone thinks they still have a chance.

Very quickly, the match was declared over. Kain's team officially had their second point, while the other team dropped to zero points.

Kain's team returned to the break room, and he applauded.

"Everyone is doing great, just keep it up."

Kain was not stingy with his praise.

For Kain, dealing with these students was much easier than dealing with those "monsters". Even though they were professionally trained, youth was something that could not be compensated for overnight.

In some crucial moments, they will also be emotional, and that is the basis for Kain to take advantage and win.
