My Level Zero System

After two terrifying attacks from Kain, a small path opened up, he quickly pulled the male student and jumped in before the monsters once again flooded in and filled the place.

Having narrowly escaped death, Kain and the male student were taken into the food storage.

"Only... one person?"

The students who were holed up inside the food storage all cried out in surprise. Just now, it had been too chaotic outside for them to notice anything, but with such a huge and terrifying force, they thought that there were dozens of students working together to rescue them.

It's hard to believe that the person who caused all of this was just one individual.

No wonder they didn't receive the signal to coordinate the attack just now.

Kain sat down on an old wooden crate, his face pale with exhaustion, but his eyes remained steadfast and unchanging. He looked towards the students who were surrounded here, quickly assessing the situation.

Including the male student who brought him here, there were nineteen people.

"As you can see, I'm the reinforcement."

"If you want to escape from here, you need to listen to my command."

As soon as they appeared, they immediately started fighting for command. This caused the students to immediately frown.

It's already difficult for ordinary people to respond to a request with such a vague "reward to be won", let alone the talent students of a magic academy?

But this was already expected by Kain. The male student had already achieved the effect he had intended.

Seeing Kain being questioned, the male student couldn't help but explain, including how Kain found his way here even though he had forgotten his way back.

This was why he needed a middleman to act as a bridge. That male student must have gained the trust of the other students beforehand to be chosen to escape and seek help, so Kain was essentially relying on this male student to gain the trust of others.

This is similar to the theory of attachment. If a rich person eats a loaf of moldy bread, the people around him will not think that the bread is moldy, but only that it is a special kind of bread. If a beggar eats a loaf of moldy bread, no one will question whether it is moldy bread or not.

It was the same here, if Kain suddenly barged in and demanded to lead them, all he would receive would be suspicious looks, but if he came as reinforcements invited by the male students, things would be much simpler.

Sure enough, the atmosphere eased somewhat.

"Are you sure you can get us out of here?"

There was suspicion. But Kain knew this sign meant he had begun to gain the trust of these people.

Doubt does not mean disbelief, but half-belief and half-disbelief. Because of belief, there is reaction, because of disbelief, there is questioning to confirm reality.

In this situation, Kain only needed to push his hand one more time and it would be done.

So, facing the question of the stuck students.

Experience new tales on empire

Kain just nodded and said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There is a way out."

"I'll take the lead, you guys will go behind me, so no matter what happens I'll die first, fair enough?"

No one said anything, which means no one objected.

"Alright, this place is basically packed to the gills. I only managed to thin out a portion of the monster force just now. They can still keep coming."

"So, my proposal is to attack at... this position! I want to open an escape route."

Immediately, Kain was interrupted.

"Wait? You mean we're going to reluctantly break out? Are you trying to kill us all?"

This question is very reasonable.

It's not that they couldn't break out of the siege, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to send that male student out to find help. But the important thing here is that the surrounding monsters aren't stupid either.

They broke out of the siege and ran away. Didn't the monsters know to chase them?

By then, without a solid structure like a food storage to protect them, whether they could last ten minutes or not was already unknown.

"Of course, I have a plan."

Kain was not angry at being questioned but calmly spoke.

"The place you are currently in is the food storage of the western living area..."

"How... how do you know?"

"I'll tell you later, but I can assure you that what I said is true. Moving on, nearby is an old military gathering place, which is also where the soldiers guarding the city wall change shifts. There is a path that leads straight to the protective wall. We just need to go there, enter that path, and escape through the other path. No matter how many monsters there are, they won't be able to follow us."

This was Kain's escape route. By remembering all the architectural criteria in the lonely fortress.

That path was not actually a formal structure in the Lonely Fortress from the start, but was created by a group of soldiers. They didn't want to endure the pressure of wandering alone on a wall, so they created this hidden path to avoid work.

It must be said that although guarding the inner wall is not as dangerous as guarding the outer wall, but just standing guard is torture.

Imagine standing on a narrow road with a deep abyss on both sides that is completely invisible because of the fog, and the front and back are also covered in fog. The fire in your hand also becomes strangely weak. You can't see the sky, you can't see anything else, just the eerie fog surrounding you, and the only thing you can rely on is the cold structure you step on.

Being in such a situation for a short time was enough to make a normal person panic and lose their composure, and the soldiers had to stay there for four hours before changing shifts.
