My Level Zero System Chapter 86 Hunter's trap

The previous conversation was by no ans just to expose and humiliate Hector for his own satisfaction. Kain was not that shallow.

To be more precise, the hunt had begun the mont the hulking fool Hector entered his sight, and the hunter's trap had been set the mont Kain spoke his first sentence.

"The mont the prey desperately ran down the escape route designated by the hunter, it died."

With just a few words, Kain exposed Hector's innermost secret, causing his elated mood of becoming a hero to plumt to the abyss.

There are monts when human psychology is much weaker than we imagine. Especially for Hector's type of ntality.

He was very insecure about himself, so his strong shell appeared to hide his weakest side. On top of that, he was also a drear, which caused everything that ca to him to be exaggerated to so extent, both good and bad.

This kind of delusion seems unrealistic, but it is actually not rare. It is like when soone accidentally gets complinted by the person they like, they feel so happy that they freely imagine scenarios of the two of them becoming a couple. This is exaggeration in a good way.

As for the bad way, it is like when soone accidentally does sothing bad, and when they go to crowded places and see other people whispering, they will think that their cri has been discovered and everyone is gossiping about them.

Hector was the sa, so Kain gave him "a way to live".

It was a battle of strength, stamina, and close combat. Hector's forte.

Kain had realized this was Hector's forte from the mont he assessed Hector's body.

Except for the muscles, his gait and the calluses on his hands were unmistakable.

So why did Kain choose this field?

For Hector, of course.

The big guy was overjoyed, and at the sa ti he began to imagine scenarios where he would defeat Kain and get the reward. Intentions influence actions, actions reflect intentions.

And so when the battle began, this Hector went crazy and attacked Kain, partly because he was blinded by his own confidence, partly because he was so focused on his own illusions that he forgot how reality worked.

Hector was too hasty.

In the end, it seed like Hector had unleashed his full power, but in reality he had lost a warrior's most powerful weapon.

It's composure, it's calmness, it's the ability to assess an opponent.

If Kain had not done the above and had challenged Hector, the outco might have been different.

"I... I lost? No… no way…"

Hector was still in a daze and confusion, but it all clicked into place.

Kain gently placed the knife back in its place, without saying a word, and turned to leave, he didn't even bother to look at the defeated Hector.

Just as he returned to his old place, Kain was grabbed by the sleeve and shaken back and forth continuously by ra.

"The mont you put a knife to that guy's neck, you were so cool!"

"From now on, let's see who dares to consider you a useless person."

ra had been dissatisfied for a long ti, but there was no way to prove it, and Kain didn't care either, so there was nothing she could do.

Luckily this ti.

Even if it can't completely cut off the rumors, it can at least prevent the crowd from saying whatever they want.

As for Myra, she noticed sothing more surprising.

"How did you manage to beat Hector? He's also ranked pretty high in our advanced combat class."

Through her observation, Myra realized that the way Hector fought in the last battle was sowhat different from how the big guy perford in the intensive combat class.

"It is much easier to take down a wild beast than to face a seasoned warrior."

Kain replied cryptically.

Myra began to ponder, although Kain's words had two subjects, it still didn't make sense to put the wild beast as Hector and the warrior as Kain.

Then she looked at Hector, who was still in a daze after the duel and suddenly understood sothing.

The seasoned warrior is Hector.

But the beast was also Hector.

Kain did not want to fight a seasoned warrior, so he turned Hector into a wild beast.

Thinking of this, Myra clicked her tongue and couldn't help but say.

"You are really fierce."

Kain shrugged, offering no comnt.

anwhile, the teacher in charge was also carefully evaluating Kain. From his eyes, it was not difficult to see that Hector had a problem.

Even though he didn't know what the problem was or how it had co about, his intuition warned him that the problem must have originated from Kain.

However, he did not have any ill will towards Kain, and on the contrary, he held him in high regard.

The last battle was clearly a sudden battle so it was impossible to prepare in advance, and it was also a direct battle so it was difficult to use tricks.

But if he could use tricks, that was Kain's skill. As long as he didn't use any torture tricks like threats, it would be fine.

"The student that Toris spoke out for special treatnt... is truly extraordinary."

The teacher in charge exclaid, then continued to conduct the practical class.

…

And just like that, a month passed, and a third of the first sester was over.

Three sessions of [Fire Magic] class, three sessions of [Spirit Magic] class, three sessions of [Life Magic] class, one session of comprehensive combat class, one session of herb classification class.

Kain's weekly schedule was frad.

While others were out on the town, Kain was still reading diligently until his eyes were tired.

The notebooks had been flipped through by him countless tis, to the point where he had flipped them open, traces of wear appeared.

Even Hardy was horrified by Kain's terrible study regin.

Even he had to combine study and rest, while Kain seed to have no rest except when sleeping.

Because the results he's gotten so far are still zero.
