The three of them chatted with each other, but mostly it was Myra and Mera who spoke, with Kain occasionally exclaiming from the side.

After a while, the conversation turned to Kain.

"Kain, did your father teach you how to hunt?"

Myra asked, with her experience and observation skills, Myra could see through some of the hunter tricks that Kain used. To this question, Kain just shook his head.

"I've been hunting since I was little, so it's just become a habit."

Kain did not say that he was an orphan, because the kind villagers were already his parents. His life until the age of 15 was also very peaceful, causing Myra and Mera to lose interest.

Because of that, the topic of conversation turned to something very special, magic. For this, both Myra and Mera were very interested in Kain. Because Kain's past was clearly nothing special according to his story.

There was no harsh magic skill training, even "magic" was something far removed from life in a small remote village. However, they could all see that Kain's magic skills were all at a very high level, he was definitely not a newbie in the field of magic.

How did he do it?

Kain was momentarily at a loss for words, he raised his hand, and lightning bolts danced in his palm like a puppet. Kain moved his fingers, causing the lightning bolts to move as well. Finally, Kain separated the lightning bolts and condensed them into three small [Thunder Bullets] and spun them around in his palm.

Ever since upgrading [Thunder Navigation] to max level, Kain felt like he had reached some sort of limit in controlling the lightning.

It was as if with just a little more effort he would be able to not only direct lightning, but do much more.

"That's great, Kain!"

Myra exclaimed in surprise, she had also met a few other low-class Magus, but Kain's control ability was absolutely top-notch.

"It's kind of hard to explain. How should I put it… I just kept training myself and it just happened like this."

"So that's some kind of talent?"

"I think so."

Kain explained vaguely, after all the growth rate of his magic skill proficiency was too abnormal, he needed some reason to cover this up.

Anyway, even if he said he had some strange system to help him, no one would believe it, and they might even consider Kain a lunatic. So hiding this from the start was the best choice.

While the three were talking, Kain suddenly noticed that a plume of smoke in the farthest distance had dispersed, apparently because the campfire there had been extinguished.

Kain quickly signaled the two girls to be quiet. Then he took out a piece of wood that he had prepared beforehand and covered the door of the furnace, causing the light to be lowered to the lowest level.

"Kain, what's wrong?"

"Someone has entered our territory. If it goes according to what I have arranged, they will leave, but if they don't leave, we will have to prepare for the worst."

Kain spoke in a low voice, causing Myra and Mera to also become serious.

"Just say what you want to do. We will do it."

Myra spoke up, although Mera did not say anything, she did not object to Kain being the commander here. It was clear that his previous performance had convinced these two girls.

"Okay, in the worst case scenario, we'll go with the following plan…"

…

At the same time, at the places where Kain had set up fake campfires.

The mysterious people in tight clothes appeared, not realizing that there was anyone there, they immediately extinguished the fake campfire.

Throughout the entire process, no one said a word, everyone's actions were very uniform, like soulless puppets being controlled by someone.

However, these mysterious people operate in a very professional manner and are not at all rigid.

One after another, the second fake campfire, the third fake campfire were extinguished. After extinguishing three fake campfires in a row, the mysterious people stopped, seemingly pondering why someone would set three or four different campfires.

And one question, should we continue to waste time foolishly like this?

These people did not know that they were in Kain's sights.

Up in the tree, Kain had his bow ready, the arrow just waiting to fly off the string and hit someone in the head.

If it were anyone else, Kain probably wouldn't have greeted them with such an extreme measure, but from Myra and Mera's descriptions, these people clearly had bad intentions. Coupled with his own feelings, Kain didn't think these people came here just to talk.

However, Kain was in no hurry to attack.

Previously, he had planned to use his bow and arrow to shoot down the leader first. It was just that these mysterious people… seemed to have no leader, or this person was too difficult to distinguish.

From the way they dressed, they were exactly the same, even from the way they were arranged, it was impossible to tell where the key person was, nor was it possible to tell where the person protected by the others was.

If the leader really was hiding among these people, then even Kain would have to admire this person for being able to conceal his senses.

"But I still have a way to try. If you're in there, you'll be exposed."

Kain released his bowstring, firing an arrow at high speed, instantly piercing through the head of one of them.

This was Kain's testing method. If their leader was hidden in the crowd, then once Kain launched an attack, all the remaining people would react by subconsciously protecting their leader, indirectly exposing their leader's hiding place.

Then the next steps will be much easier.

Beyond Kain's expectations, the others seemed to have no reaction to the death of one of their members. This forced Kain to come to a somewhat unbelievable conclusion, that their leader was not here.
