My Level Zero System

It's because of the ego, the soul, or something like that.

Each person's ego is different, just like no two leaves are alike.

This leads to some people being compatible with [Fire Magic], some being compatible with [Thunder Magic]. Some people having high compatibility with [Fire Magic], some have low compatibility with [Fire Magic]. Even with equal compatibility, it won't be the same, just like how a certain amount of water can be stuffed into all kinds of cups of all kinds of shapes.

Of course, that alone was not enough for Kain to conclude, after all the human body had the same nature that no two bodies were exactly alike. But Kain had a different way of thinking.

Previously, Kain had asked teacher Alisa why she chose this teaching method, she said that she didn't know clearly, it was just that it had been passed down from many generations of Magus.

Reviewing all the lectures Alisa had presented so far, Kain clearly analyzed that this lecture had a lot of "personal feelings" stuffed in. Kain hadn't thought of this detail at first, but now it was all clear.

These lectures are not entirely dry theories, but rather the teachers' way of sharing their "experiences" from their ego when exposed to magic.

At that time, the students who listen to this lecture will respond back to their ego, promoting their magical cultivation process. The higher the ego compatibility, the faster the increase, and vice versa.

This was similar to what he had said to Myra before, which was that people sought material pleasures for satisfaction, then reflected that satisfaction spiritually to achieve true satisfaction.

The same is true here, and it may also fully explain why Hardy said that when listening to lectures it felt as if a pair of hands were guiding him to write.

The deeper one digs, the more evidence points toward the outcome he has specified.

Hardy was now fast asleep, only Kain was still standing in front of the wall covered with pieces of paper.

Finally, when his thought cycle was completely closed, Kain moved away from the wall and sat down on the bed.

He looked out the window, it was still a few hours until dawn, he still had time.

He had only taken the last half step. The rest was the hardest part.

But Kain had a plan, just this plan…

…

The next morning, Kain did his usual physical training, then went to class.

It's just that his condition isn't quite right.

Unlike usual, Kain now gave others the feeling that he was a soulless puppet, only moving minimally, even the nuance in his eyes had disappeared.

The other classmates also vaguely realized Kain's condition, however, no one dared to come and ask because the previous rumors surrounding Kain made the relationship between him and the other classmates not very close.

Myra couldn't help but feel worried, she wanted to wake him up, but was stopped by Mera.

Remembering last night's conversation, Mera thought that Kain had figured something out, and this was one of his methods, they shouldn't disturb him.

Class went on as usual, but Alisa felt something was strange.

She looked around at the students, everything was the same as usual, even Kain…

No, that doesn't seem right.

This time, Alisa noticed Kain's gaze.

She saw only a blank gaze devoid of any emotion. Before, Kain's eyes had always been bright, determined, and filled with intelligence.

"Don't tell me... he was so traumatized that he became like this?"

Thinking of this, even Alisa had to sigh.

At first, she thought the student was stubborn, or maybe he was just playing around. But over the past month, Alisa had learned how hard Kain worked.

To put in so much effort and not even be able to use basic magic is a huge blow…

However, Kain still went to class, still took notes, it could be seen that he still did not give up.

Having such a student, Alisa didn't know whether she should blame him for his stubbornness, or feel sorry for his efforts.

And because of this, the other classmates' attitude towards Kain was no longer as distant as before. Besides, he had previously salvaged a bit of his reputation due to the fight with Hector in the training class.

Some female students also openly sympathized with Kain.

It was just that Kain didn't pay any attention to anything, making others think that he was truly shocked and not just pretending to gain pity.

However, everyone did not know, hidden beneath those lifeless eyes was something terrifying.

Something that once exposed and someone faces it, that person will feel as if their whole body is being stabbed by thousands of thorns, an extremely creepy feeling.

Because it is a thorough, in-depth analysis. So much so that when you are faced with it, you will feel as if every single muscle in your body is being dissected, so that those eyes can follow the way your every nerve moves.

And then, time passed like that.

Kain still attended class regularly, but his condition continued to worsen.

For the next month, Kain at least continued to take notes from lectures. But in the last month of the semester, he stopped even copying down the answers.

Even though Mera had assured her, Myra was still restless. After all, Kain's dire condition had lasted for almost two months, and she was almost unable to bear it anymore.

Only Mera remained unquestioningly trusting, to the point that Myra wondered if the two of them were colluding.

Actually, Mera didn't know what Kain was going to do, she was also very anxious, but she believed his performance that night was real.

So, she always put all her trust in Kain.

Finally the last class of the semester has arrived.

The students were all a little nervous, because their teachers would be the ones to judge whether they failed or passed this subject.

If the number of subjects a student registers for passes is 50% or more, that semester they will be considered passed and receive a star from the academy.

This final lesson will be when each student receives their evaluation form from the teacher, along with a pass or fail decision.
