Even though Mera was persuaded by Kain, it still couldn't be helped that she felt heavy-hearted.
Returning to the dormitory, Mera opened the door, just in time to see Myra sitting solemnly across from her.
As soon as she saw Mera, without letting her sister open her mouth first, Myra asked.
"Where did you go just now, I didn't see you in the dormitory or the training ground."
"Let's just go get ice cream, nothing much."
"Oh, so why did you run to the library."
Myra exposed Mera, which made her frown, her voice involuntarily becoming heavier.
"What I do, where I go, who I meet, it seems like it's not your turn to manage?"
The atmosphere between the two immediately became tense.
The relationship between these two sisters, in fact, is not just pure love, or rather, a broken family always has its downside.
It's just that, because Kain was in the middle earlier, and he was also regulating both of their emotions, it was inconvenient for them to act out. But once a fatal issue was touched upon, it was not certain that they would respect each other.
Like at this moment, Mera especially hated this unreasonable control from Myra, which was clearly inherited from their father.
"Mera, you must know what this means to us."
"But that's no good reason to drag others to their deaths, Myra!"
Mera appeared extremely determined, her aura at this moment made Myra stunned, because at that moment, she actually saw the image of their gentle yet strong mother from her younger sister.
But this hesitation only lasted for a moment, Myra's eyes filled with determination.
"Mera, there's no need to defend yourself. He signed the contract..."
"A contract? Don't try to fool me with those tricks. I know what a contract is. He could have gotten much better! Kain agreed to sign it, but we know why he did it."
"Myra, don't let me down on you."
Mera's words touched Myra's heart for a moment. But it did not move her, but only an indescribable sense of distress and shame.
Suddenly, Mera's voice softened.
"Myra, I am your sister. No matter what path you take, I will walk with you."
"But it's not . You're slowly relying on Kain, but you're also gradually taking his help for granted, to the point where when I advise Kain to stay safe, you get mad. Myra, do you think that's reasonable?"
"Kain may not notice, but I do."
Myra moved her lips, as if to say something, but another word came out.
"Do you like Kain, or... love him?"
"Like or dislike, love or not, it doesn't matter. Myra, don't let the day come when you regret it."
Myra was silent, Mera followed suit and became silent as well.
After that, Myra walked away, out of the dormitory, even though Mera didn't know where her sister went.
But she knew this was necessary, everyone needed some quiet time for themselves.
It was late at night when Myra returned. She saw that her sister had turned her back and covered herself with a blanket, seemingly having gone to sleep first.
Myra sighed, after the confrontation this afternoon, she temporarily did not dare to look at her sister's face.
Before, Mera in her opinion had always been a rather unruly and unreasonable child, but now, it seemed like she was that person.
Just as Myra was lost in thought, Mera's voice rang out.
"Kain is still determined to help us, and he has a plan. So tomorrow we need to gather everyone we can gather."
During the whole process, Mera didn't turn back, just spoke, not wanting to make Myra feel awkward. And when Myra heard that Kain had a plan, she felt somewhat reassured.
With that, Mera fell silent.
The next day, Kain gathered at a designated location, which was in front of his dormitory. But the results were... not very promising.
There were only five people, including him, it was six.
Kain sighed, as expected, when the water hasn't risen past the throat, no one will be afraid of drowning. Only six people was a bit lower than Kain's estimate, Kain's lowest estimate was ten people.
But something is better than nothing, and there are opportunities to add teammates.
But the question is, who will be his teammates?
Myra, Mera, of course.
Hector? The big guy who was scared by Kain earlier is here too?
A dark-haired, slightly skinny guy who seemed trustworthy enough, but Kain was unfamiliar with him.
And the last one, it was Katie.
"Why are you here Katie?"
Kain asked doubtfully, but in fact he already had an answer in his heart.
Katie doesn't seem to be a member of the combat branch, so if she's participating in this, it's obviously because of an invitation to assist.
"She's in the same class [Life Magic] as me, one of the top students in the class. I didn't expect to be able to invite her to join the team at first, after all, it seems like she hasn't accepted anyone's invitation before."
Myra explained, but then she stopped, her expression slightly strange.
She really didn't expect to be able to invite Katie to the team, but Mera suddenly said yes, and went to convince her herself. By some chance, Katie agreed.
Although she didn't know what they were talking about, for some reason Myra had a feeling that it had something to do with Kain, because neither Myra nor Mera had ever interacted with this girl named Katie before.
But regardless, this was a good sign, Katie's healing ability with [Life Magic] was much stronger than Myra's, so once Katie joined, their survival rate would increase greatly.
However, Kain couldn't help but feel a headache, because Katie wasn't a Magus who specialized in combat. To put it bluntly, she wasn't suitable for his plans, whether it was a defense plan or an escape plan. Although Kain didn't deny the effects of Katie's [Life Magic].
