Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a morning prayer service in the [Church] that will be open to the public."

"I heard from Xin Meier that you possess the [Holy Scripture] and are also practicing [Goddess Magic]. Would you like to come and join us tomorrow morning?"

"Of course, it's an honor."

After receiving Gut's promise, Haita smiled kindly, nodded slightly, and turned away without saying anything else.

Looking at the back of the monk walking towards the wounded gathering place on one side of the square, a gleam of light flashed in Gut's eyes.

"why is it like this."

After reading the entry about Haita in detail, Gut was filled with disappointment.

The panel of this legendary monk is extremely luxurious. He even possessed the highest grade entry known to Gut, such as [Golden Red].

But the bad thing is that, from [Golden Red] to [Purple], all the talent entries of a slightly higher grade are extremely special.

Luck, divine grace, and special positions are all things that cannot be replicated by the system.

After all, the recognition of luck and divine grace is extremely subjective and cannot be the same; just like there will never be another church in the Holy City for Gut to serve as bishop.

Perhaps the only somewhat attractive attribute on Haita is the blue-quality [Longevity].

This item is not like the [Immortal Species·Elf (Purple)] on Teacher Celia. Although it is subject to the upper limit of the individual's theoretical lifespan, the lifespan extension period is not long; but the advantage is that it does not have genetic problems, so it is not out of the question.

But after thinking for a few seconds, Gut still chose to give up.

After all, the threat from the demons still exists. If the problem of life span cannot be solved once and for all, we still have to give priority to using the opportunity of copying entries to improve our strength.

Anyway, according to the timeline of the plot, Haita still has more than 40 years to live.

If you change your mind later, it’s not too late to come back to him.

However, when we meet again tomorrow, you can ask him about the whereabouts of the brave uncle. As a warrior who does not rely on the favor of the gods, Xin Meir should have some talent entries that he can copy.

After making up his mind, Gut was no longer disappointed and continued to organize the magic candidates to participate in the test.

A moment later, the square in front of the palace, which had been slightly quiet, became lively again.

"Tatt-tatt—"

As the pace of the assessment got on track, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from the adjacent street.

Gut looked towards the streets following the sound. Almost all human cities have clear regulations prohibiting galloping horses within the city limits.

But the speed of the carriage in the distance, even if it can't be called galloping, is definitely not slow.

Logically speaking, he should have been stopped and reprimanded by the city defense forces long ago. How come no one paid any attention to him even though he ran to the city center?

Even when a patrolling guard was about to collide with the carriage, he changed his patrol route and took the initiative to avoid meeting the carriage.

It was not until the carriage came closer that Gut saw the noble coat of arms hanging on the carriage and finally understood.

It turns out that it’s the ways of the world.

After the carriage stopped near the [Continental Magic Association], a tall nobleman walked out of the carriage, holding a long-handled metal staff in his hand.

"Are you here to take the magician exam? I hope you don't cause any trouble."

Gut muttered softly that in the current world view, the identity of a noble is still quite troublesome to deal with.

Although I'm not afraid of them, it's better to stay quiet if I can avoid getting into trouble.

Just like that, under Gut's gaze, the young man, holding a magic wand, stepped onto the square in front of the temple to challenge the stone statues.

Perhaps it was pride in his heart? Or perhaps it was confidence in his own abilities.

He did not queue up behind the stone statues that were less challenging, but walked straight to a melee stone statue where no one was queuing, summoned his own magic power and walked in.

This stone statue, which is more inclined towards close combat, is the one that Celie possessed to fight Haita before.

Although Celie restored it to its original state when she extracted its consciousness.

But the residual power is still there, and no candidate has dared to challenge him since the Haita.

Until the arrival of this noble young man.

"Click-click-"

Sensing a new source of magic power in front of it, the stone statue, which was inclined towards melee combat, stopped being silent. Its heavy body stood up directly from the ground and walked towards the challenger step by step.

This action of the noble young man quickly attracted the attention of the candidates in the audience. Even some magicians whose wounds were being treated by monk apprentices looked over, looking forward to this battle.

"boom!"

As the distance shortened, the stone statue launched a powerful punch, but it was blocked by two [defensive magics] that the young man casually set up. His other hand was still holding a staff, as if he was brewing other magic.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The melee stone statue moved with a flexibility that was incomparable to its stone body, and threw heavy punches at the young man one after another.

But without exception, they were all blocked by the young man's timely [Defense Magic].

The magicians in the audience watched this smooth scene and became excited, wondering whether this noble challenger could withstand the quick punches that the melee stone statue might unleash at any time.

"boom!"

As if to confirm the candidates' guesses, the melee stone statue adjusted its body shape. After delivering an ordinary heavy punch with great force, at the moment when the old force had not yet gone and the new force had not yet been generated, it did not follow up with another heavy punch as before. Instead, it twisted its body shape nimbly and, through the drive of its body, naturally delivered a quick punch.

While the noble young man was still preparing to defend himself in the predicted position according to the stone statue's previous attack rhythm, the melee stone statue's fist had already flown towards his cheek from another direction.

"Little Flying Fist is coming!"

A trace of panic visibly flashed across the noble young man's face, but he quickly suppressed it.

With a dangerous squat, the noble young man dodged the fist of the melee stone statue as his cheek brushed past it.

Without waiting for the melee statue to change its moves, the noble young man tapped the statue with the magic that had been accumulating for a long time through the long-handled staff in his hand.

[Andrel-style magic removal]

As the magic power quickly spread from the point of impact, the stone statue that was condensed together by the magic was once again scattered into scattered pieces of stone.

"Oh~!"

The candidates in the audience burst into exclamations and cheered for the noble young man's successful challenge.

However, the scattering of the stone statues did not mean the end of the danger. A stone flew towards the noble young man's face.

In this situation where dodging is impossible, a qualified magician should use the fastest-casting [Defensive Magic] at his best and hold the staff across his body to block the attack.

Because [Defensive Magic] is more about protection at the magical level, its protective ability is limited when dealing with heavy mass attacks such as stones.

Holding the staff horizontally in front of the body is also to allow it to bear another wave of impact force.

Some metal staffs are not inferior to warriors' weapons in terms of strength and toughness.

However, the noble young man's subconscious reaction exceeded everyone's expectations.

Facing the stones coming towards him, he neither constructed [Defensive Magic] nor used his staff to block. Even Gut was a little afraid that a murder would happen on the scene and planned to take action himself.

The noble young man raised his foot and kicked the stone with his red sole, sending the large stone flying several meters away.

Gut:?

All candidates: ???

"No way, besides me, there are other magicians who use close combat?"

"No wonder I was able to dodge the statue's quick punch earlier. It turns out it wasn't just luck."

After expressing his feelings for a few moments, Gut walked down from the stage and led the young nobleman who had passed the preliminary selection into the hall to accept the final interview with Teacher Celiai.

After the two met, the noble young man, who had originally had a cold expression and seemed difficult to get along with, took the initiative to talk to Gut first.

Although his expression was a little awkward when he spoke, his sincerity was evident.

"You must be Mr. Gutt, right? My name is Hafka, and I'm delighted to meet you."

"Thank you for your help yesterday evening. My sister was able to escape from danger."

Hafka's words made Gut's face flash with understanding.

No wonder the noble in front of her suddenly showed kindness to her. It turned out that he was the brother that the girl Sora ran away from home to the Holy City to look for.

"You're welcome, Mr. Hafka."

Gu Te pointed towards the palace gate and said, "The next round of interviews and your sister are already waiting inside the palace."

"Well, thank you."
