The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　This is actually not a good thing for the stability of the academy. Faith cannot be changed at will. Not all believers of the goddess can become believers of the Tree of Life after their faith is broken.

　For most people, faith is their anchor. When the anchor disappears, the small boat they are riding on will sway helplessly on the stormy sea.

　For a time, there were even a large number of cases of believers committing suicide.

　So how was this incident resolved later?

　Alice Pucht, of course.

　When almost everyone was facing despair, Alice took the initiative to stand up and delivered an impassioned speech in the White Tower District Square.

　Xingmo still thinks that her senior is incredibly talented to be able to speak like that - if it were her, it would be impossible for her to be so awesome.

　She has social phobia, and senior Alice is a social terrorist.

　That day, Alice told the story of how the Sword of Dawn chose her, and told the people that it was this sword that killed the traitor Isabella of the Academy, and it was also this sword that severely injured the Golden King and drove him out of the Academy.

　There was no doubt that the Sword of Dawn's power came from the Goddess, and could only be wielded by her chosen. Alice's appearance in the square, bearing the sword, was the perfect proof that the Goddess still favored the Citadel.

　In fact, Alice herself doesn't believe this, and most people won't change from pessimism because of this incident.

　But at least the little boats that were swaying in the storm were anchored again.

　After this incident, the originally fragmented Star Sea Church elected Alice as the new archbishop, inheriting the mantle of Roberts Sean.

　Alice didn't want to be bound by such a heavy responsibility, but when she recalled Bishop Roberts's teachings to her, she felt that this legacy must be continued.

　The last guardian to raise the Sword of Dawn was Roberts Thane.

　As the guardian of the academy, Alice felt that perhaps this was her destiny.

　""

　Xing Mo walked up to Senior Sister Alice, looked at the sword in her hand, and said:

　"Aren't you tired of holding it all the time?"

　"I can't help it. I have to show off more lately," Alice sighed. "But you, I think you're getting dark circles under your eyes."

　"I'll be feeling better soon. After work tonight, I plan to go to the beach in Dongcheng District." Xing Mo said.

　"Let's go to the beach and enjoy the breeze?" Alice chuckled. "Can Vivian and I come?"

　"The premise is that she won't be sad after losing the election today." Xing Mo's mouth curled up slightly.

　"Oh, don't underestimate my little dragon girl. If she fails to be selected, it will be difficult for you to choose the right person."

　"Hey~"

　Xingmo blinked at the senior sister and clapped her hands:

　"Get ready to start the test," she ordered.

　For a moment, faint ripples appeared on the floor of the room - the activation of the string magic array provided a secret protection for the room, isolating the inside and outside of the room.

　"Come in." Aurora clapped her hands.

　Doors appeared on the pure white walls of the room, and neatly dressed wizards walked out of the doors, quickly forming a queue.

　Among the crowd of wizards, Vivian stood on tiptoe and waved to Alice.

　Alice sighed softly, did not respond to Xiaolongnu's untimely gesture of goodwill, took two steps back, and gave the venue to Xingmo.

　""

　Xingmo walked to the front of the queue and scanned the rows of wizards. She saw many familiar faces, such as Vivian, Arya, Noble Sunlight, and several students from the Student Union.

　And Miriam.

　"~"

　Xing Mo saw Miriam waving at her and suddenly became a little nervous.

　Well, it’s time for the most annoying speech part again...

　I hope Miriam won't laugh at me...

　Xing Mo cleared his throat and said:

　"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Shikoti Amura, the head of the White Tower's Extraordinary Department."

　She gathered the transcendent essence in her eyes, filling her gaze with mystical majesty:

　"The Citadel suffered a disaster four months ago. Our homes were destroyed, our army was nearly annihilated, and our holy land was invaded."

　"After that catastrophe, we rebuilt our homeland and reorganized our army. Although it's unlikely that the Imperials will make a comeback in a short period of time, it's necessary for us to prepare for a rainy day."

　"The success of the Sand Song's assault on the Citadel was primarily due to our inadequate protection of the mystical realm. The White Tower failed to detect the power of the fallen god, and only a handful of us sensed it. This was the reason for our defeat."

　main reason."

　"Therefore, I have brought you together here to establish a department dedicated to the extraordinary."

　Xingmo said this and snapped her fingers, and a pure white blackboard appeared on the ground behind her.

　She tapped her wand lightly on the blackboard, and lines of characters appeared:

　"Our department is divided into three sections. We will assign each of you to a department based on your rank."

　"Section One is responsible for handling extremely dangerous supernatural affairs, including supernatural disasters above the Demigod level, swarms of Saint-level supernatural creatures, and powerful occult groups. Its main responsibilities include decapitation, large-scale warfare, and covert investigations."

　"This department symbolizes the elite strength of the Extraordinary Department. The basic requirement for section members is to be a Five-String Saint, and the requirement for section chiefs is to be a demigod."

　Xingmo's words left the wizards stunned, especially the part about the conditions.

　A subject based on the Five-String Sage's basic requirements... Without a doubt... Even in the long history of the Citadel, only one organization has such standards—

　——The bell keeper.

　"Next, it's Section Two."

　Xing Mo knocked on the blackboard, drawing everyone's attention back:

　"Section Two is responsible for the safety and stability of the Academy City. Unlike the police departments in the various districts, we specialize in handling cases involving the supernatural, including murders, pagan rituals, invasions of supernatural species, espionage, and so on. Our primary responsibilities are to investigate and eliminate threats. If the case is beyond our capabilities, we will report it to Section One."

　"This undergraduate program represents the backbone of the Supernatural Department. The basic requirement for section members is to be a four-string wizard, and the requirement for section chiefs is to be a saint."

　The requirements of this subject made everyone feel a lot more relaxed. They almost thought that all subjects were the same as one subject, and they were just benchmarking against the bell keeper.

　"Next, it's the third subject."

　Xingmo knocked on the blackboard again and cleared his throat:

　"Section Three is primarily responsible for logistics and clerical work. It utilizes some of the White Tower's capabilities to provide extraordinary support to Sections One and Two, and is responsible for properly sealing and preserving occult artifacts confiscated during cases."

　"This undergraduate program symbolizes the backing of the Supernatural Department. The basic requirement for section members is to be a three-string wizard, and the requirement for section chiefs is to be a demigod."

　When they heard that the chief of Section Three required a demigod, everyone was stunned.

　Huh? The support chief asked for a demigod?

　How many demigods are there in the Citadel?? Is this how they're distributed?

　Facing a sea of ​​confused faces, Xingmo explained;

　"Don't be confused. Because the three branches involve occult objects, they may be accompanied by a large amount of pollution. Therefore, they require someone who can handle it in a timely manner."

　"Also, if the White Tower encounters another crisis, the Three Departments will need sufficient forces to launch a counterattack, or at least delay the enemy's progress."

　"I'm done. Next is the question-and-answer session," Xingmo said.

　The wizards began to whisper, most of them discussing the system of the three subjects, with a hint of worry in their words.

　There is no doubt that most of the people who come to participate in the selection of the Extraordinary Department are talented people who care about the safety of the academy. The files of each of them are screened by Xingmo. Today's event is called a selection, but in fact it is just a meeting and division of responsibilities.

　Of course, Xingmo deliberately set the standard higher so as not to repeat the same mistakes.

　Bell keeper is an ancient and sacred position, but it is too loose and the division of labor is not clear enough.

　When he was still a bell guardian, Xingmo was helping the police solve a case in the academy one second, and the next he was heading to the Academi Territory to fight against the extraordinary creatures that were proliferating in the forest.

　As a result, not every bell guard can accumulate enough experience in the relevant field, and naturally lacks a clear and mature handling process for many incidents.

　For example, the advent of the evil god in Mortiheim.

　If there was a department that specialized in dealing with such high-threat secrets and had mature relevant regulations, then perhaps the evil god would not be able to descend.

　Well...but it's not a loss that it has arrived.

　I picked up a little one and took it home.

　"No problem?" Xing Mo glanced at everyone, "Very good, then next..."

　"I have a question."

　A young girl stood out from the crowd and faced Xingmo.

　She wore a white shirt and a dark green vest inside, a brown wizard robe outside, and a monocle on her face. Her youthful face had a majestic expression.

　"Both departments require the position of section chief to be a demigod," she said, facing Xingmo. "So, you've already chosen your candidate, right?"

　The very sharp question surprised Xingmo a little.

　"There are indeed only a few people who meet the criteria." Xing Mo nodded without reservation.

　"You are the head of Section 1, right?" the girl asked again.

　"That's right." Xing Mo nodded again.

　"Is this a tryout?" The girl turned around and opened her arms to the wizards. "No, she's just asking us to join her private army and serve her! The great Saint Poetry Queen, Poetry Queen Amura, aspires to become the second Isabella Ducep, the second Queen of the Citadel. Am I right?"

　These words stirred up whispers, and Aurora's face darkened immediately as she angrily stepped forward.

　Xingmo stopped Aurora and faced the girl directly:

　"Your name is?"

　"Ophelia Sean," she turned around and faced Xingmo calmly, "Roberts Sean's granddaughter, the Six-String Sage.

　Oh... a descendant of the Sean family...

　When Xing Mo heard the surname Sean, she knew that this girl's background was not simple.

　It is obvious that since the first archbishop of the academy, Arcadia von Arcademi, also known as Arcadia Thane, the Thane family has been the backbone of the Star Sea Church.

　Among them, many became bishops, and many were given the achievement of "being named after the city".

　After the reconstruction of the Xinghai Church progresses, Roberts Sen should also be posthumously awarded the title of Roberts von Academi for his significant contributions to the city-state.

　However, Ophelia Thain...

　It’s not that Xingmo doesn’t respect people, but Xingmo really has never heard of her.

　Facing Xingmo's scrutinizing gaze, Ophelia was not at all intimidated:

　"I graduated from the Krista School of Magic. My parents took me to Messina to settle down when I was very young. I grew up there and basically never participated in activities in the Citadel. It's normal that you don't know me."

　Christa School of Magic...if I remember correctly, it should be the magic school in Messina...

　"Then why did you return to the Academy?" Xing Mo responded calmly.

　"Because Grandpa is dead..." Ophelia clenched her fists, "The faith of the goddess is being blasphemed by you..."

　She glanced at Alice Puxit, who was holding the Sword of Dawn, and then at Xingmo:

　"I don't deny your contribution to the defense of the White Tower," she said, "but today, I'm not here to be a clerk."

　"I will become the head of Section 1. The descendants of the Thane family will resume their mission."

　"You decide what kind of test you want," she said.

　""

　At this moment, all eyes were focused on Xing Mo.

　Xingmo looked at Ophelia quietly, looking at the stubborn look on her face and her fearless eyes.

　A brave girl...

　She took two steps back and tapped the blackboard with her wand:

　"Of course, the term 'predetermined appointment' is a bit inappropriate," Xing Mo said. "Today, we have already prepared for the competition for the position of section chief, and this is based on a fair process."

　Xing Mo's eyes once again swept over all the wizards present:

　"Please note that selecting a position based on rank does not mean seizing power. Any capable wizard can attempt to compete for this established position. If they are dissatisfied, they can naturally raise objections."

　"I also encourage everyone to do this, because our ultimate position will definitely be determined by our ability."
