My Level Zero System

Seeing Kain's team in the same group as Cecilia's team, even Toris couldn't understand and felt a sense of worry.

Although he had great faith in Kain, it was still difficult to avoid worrying.

Luckily, in the first two days, Kain's team did not face Cecilia's team. And still maintained a perfect winning record.

However, what will be will be.

At the end of the third day, Kain's team finally clashed with Cecilia's team.

In the staff room, Toris stared intently at the screen, which the principal explained was a type of hyperspace connection to see the entire game.

Seeing Kain's gaze, the concern in Toris' heart disappeared.

He knows this look.

It is the look of the one who holds everything in the palm of his hand.

"So, Toris, want to change sides? There's still time to change."

A colleague laughed at him, Toris could only shake his head and smile bitterly, refusing to reply.

Indeed, the odds were overwhelming, with only him and Alisa betting on Kain to win this match.

Before this round, Toris's words of reasoning had indeed made some people waver. But after witnessing Cecilia's performance, they were certain that she would win.

Simply because she was too strong, more than half of the teachers here during her mid-class Magus days couldn't defeat Cecilia in a direct hand-to-hand battle.

As for Kain's team, their performance wasn't bad either, but compared to Cecilia, it wasn't that significant.

"Alisa, no need to follow me, you can change the bet to Cecilia."

Toris whispered to Alisa beside him, her face slightly reddened, but she quickly adjusted her mood and spoke.

"It's okay Mr. Toris. I have faith too."

She smiled, and Toris sighed again, knowing that his former student and now colleague was comforting him.

To be honest, Toris also found his own belief to be really too strange.

However, Alisa's tone changed.

"But every time I watch Kain's team fight, I get this strange feeling."

"Strange feeling?"

Toris was skeptical, but Alisa nodded.

"Yeah, it's like... they're not fighting at all."

Toris frowned, wanting to ask more when he heard a command. He could only temporarily put this matter aside and focus on the screen.

The match begins.

As expected, Cecilia still showed such overwhelming power, no matter how hard Kain tried he could not touch her, while he himself was constantly oppressed.

Even Kain, the strongest of his team, was like that, let alone his even weaker teammates.

This was clearly a team battle, but Cecilia didn't seem to care about this at all, she was just using her body alone, whether there was one or many opponents in front, all would be crushed under her sword.

Sword Princess, Cecilia.

Absolutely not a false reputation.

However, Toris smelled something familiar.

He was a Magus who possessed [Spirit Magic] at an extremely high level, so whatever kind of intuition Toris had going on, he would clearly feel it.

That's the flavor of intrigue.

Kain is definitely up to something.

Just as Toris was feeling proud, the match entered its climax.

Myra's surprise attack failed, and the ace of Kain's team appeared.

I thought this would be somewhat difficult for Cecilia, but with just one "thousand blade" move, the so-called trump card was completely shattered and evaporated from the field.

The teachers saw this scene and could not help but sigh.

Really strong to the point of not giving people a chance.

Even they were terrified, what kind of training could a sixteen year old girl have to undergo to reach this level of strength?

This is even difficult to visualize with the word "talent".

However, it's also quite commendable for Kain's team, being able to force Cecilia to use this sword technique is enough to prove that Kain's team is also excellent.

After the failed attack, Kain charged forward with [Thunder Spear] in hand, as if in a last ditch effort to resist the overwhelming force.

However, Toris' gaze noticed something else, which was that Mera's angle of movement was a bit strange.

Almost attached to Kain's back.

"What do they want to do?"

Such a question appeared in Toris's mind.

But before he could find an answer, Cecilia's slash was released. It accurately slashed diagonally into Kain's chest, and he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to, because the distance was quite close.

One fatal blow.

Toris sighed, seeming to have seen through Kain's team's defeat.

Just when he saw Kain continuing to run, simultaneously detonating the [Thunder Spear] in his hand, an electric current seemed to run through Toris's mind.

He saw that Mera was already close behind Kain, matching his speed. Kain was still running.

He saw Cecilia also panicked for a moment, and slashed out again.

However, Kain kept running, and this slash… did not affect him?

These things happened very quickly and in a rush, however, no one standing here was normal, not only Toris, some other teachers also realized the unusual thing that had just happened.

"What just happened?"

"Kain isn't eliminated? How the hell can he still run?"

"This..."

At this moment, the principal's voice rang in every teacher's ears.

"Rules of the round."

Hearing the principal say that, the teachers quickly remembered.

"Invulnerable shield... but... how is that possible?"

A teacher said in surprise, even his voice was trembling.

And on the screen, the battle had entered its final moments.

A Kain who had been attracting attention from beginning to end, turned out to be just a shield to distract Cecilia from the real killer, Mera.

Seeing Cecilia being eliminated, the entire staff room fell silent.

At this moment, the principal's voice rang out again, breaking the silence that had fallen.

"This child Cecilia... has great talent, but her behavior is rigid, she might have gone astray. She seems to be being trained to be a weapon, not an intelligent Magus."

Speaking of this, the teachers all felt a sense of depression.

Indeed, the principal initially thought Cecilia was very good, very good. But after listening to Kain's thorough analysis of her behavior and personality, the principal felt that Cecilia was not such a good candidate for that position.

On the contrary, a more resourceful, intelligent and wise Kain would be a more perfect candidate.

"Cecilia... sword family..."

"Looks like I have to find out what's going on."

In the private space called "principal's office", the principal muttered softly.

"But if I remember correctly, this tournament also has the participation of another sword family member..."

…

Meanwhile, in Adia, one of the richest places in Kanzax.

Kain, Mera, and Myra once passed through this place on their way to Esten, as it was a waterborne trade route to much of Kanzax, contributing to the prosperity of the land and city.

However, along with the huge economic benefits from trade, this place is also under the control of extremely powerful noble families. To the point that even the Akazac government here cannot reach them.

And the Sword Family is one of them, if not the most powerful.

In a world where people take pride and glory in magic, there is an ancient family that uses the sword as its symbol. It is not that they are not familiar with magic, but that over many generations they have come up with the combination of sword and magic. This is not simply one plus one equals two, but equals ten.

Therefore, every official member of the sword clan is an extremely powerful Magus, even the most ordinary members are much stronger than the average Magus.

That is the foundation that helps the sword family survive strongly until today.

Right now, inside a majestic and spacious room of the sword family, an old man was slowly drinking wine.

Every drop of wine in here was so hot that it burned his throat, but the man still drank as if nothing happened.

In this somewhat dark and dimly lit room, only the light from the large fireplace behind him was clear, but the light only illuminated a part of his face.

Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knocking on the door.

"In."

After only one answer, the old man drank again.

The large door opened slightly, revealing the figure of a man who appeared to be the butler. Although he had a stern face, the fear in the depths of the butler's eyes was still evident as he saw the old man.

"My lord... Miss Cecilia... has lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, the butler swallowed a mouthful of saliva into his throat, feeling as if time had just stopped.

At this moment, the old man raised his head from his wine cup.

Obviously not seeing his face, but the butler could feel him staring. A deadly gaze.

To the point that the distance from the end of the room to the door seemed non-existent, this old man could kill him at any moment.

At this moment, the old man's hoarse voice rang out again.

"If Cecilia rejects it, bring her here."

"But... my lord... the headmaster of Kanzax Academy..."

"Let her come here."

The old man's hoarse voice continued, carrying with it utter terror.

The housekeeper finally couldn't control himself anymore and trembled with fear.

"I want to see... is the sword in my hand sharper, or is her prison stronger."
