Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Whether it was Celia or the other girls, they all looked at Black in surprise.

Anke said, "Principal, we are only at the second tier right now. Even if we can advance to the third tier by July, we probably still can't compare to those mages who have been at the third tier for many years, right?"

Benovia also said, "As far as I know, many third-tier mages deliberately stop at the third tier in order to obtain this honor, constantly accumulating strength. In addition to the spells that the puppet knows, they have also learned many other spells, studied them, and applied the spells they have learned to the level of mastery or even subtlety."

Blake laughed and said, "It seems you've done your research. That makes things easier. With your progress, I think you should have no problem getting into the top three in the team competition, and maybe you can even try for first place."

"The first one is a bit difficult..."

"It is a bit difficult, but there is no need to be afraid. Since the first Mage League, only a very small number of mages who deliberately stayed at the third tier for a long time have won the championship. The rest of the time, it was the young genius mages of that year who won."

"Principal, can we participate in the team competition and the individual competition at the same time?" Celia asked.

Blake looked at Celia and praised, "See? You should have the same idea as Celia. However, I don't recommend participating in both. The individual and team competitions are scheduled at the same time. After the team competition, the individual competition will start, and you won't have enough time to replenish your magic and you will be eliminated."

Black paused for a moment and then smiled, "The team competition rewards are more generous. The team competition has all the rewards of the individual competition, but the team competition has special rewards that the individual competition doesn't have. Now is the era of ruin exploration, and most ruins require team exploration, so the Mage League encourages team battles more."

"Oh, that's a pity," Celia said regretfully.

Recalling the rewards she had seen, Celia realized that the valuable rewards were indeed the same for both individual and team competitions. In addition to the known rewards, each team competition had a special reward that could only be discovered after the competition started.

From this perspective, we can simply participate in the team competition.

"So, what are your plans?"

Blake looked at the crowd.

The others remained silent, all turning to look at Celia.

Celia: "?"

Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I can make decisions for you?

Blake said, "If you participate, for the next month or so, you will have meditation classes and one special training session after class in the afternoon. The special training before May is to help you quickly accumulate magic power, reach the limit of the second tier as soon as possible, and successfully advance to the next tier. In the following two months, you will receive special training in teamwork until the competition begins."

"Don't we need to participate in the school's selection process?" Celia asked.

"No need, you will compete as the school's seed team."

The girls suddenly felt the pressure.

Celia spoke first: "I have no objection, I can participate."

Others: "I have no objection either."

"Alright, let's start tomorrow. I'll inform your instructors later. Come to me tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to the special meditation room."

And that's how it was decided.

On their way back to the dormitory with the gold coins and supplies left at the school for the lost lighthouse, Celia asked Ross, "Lord Ross, will the school's special training affect the quota you gave me?"

Ross said, "Yes, but you're already more than halfway there, so it won't affect you much. The meditation room that the school provides for you will allow you to reach the limit of the total amount of second-tier magic power faster. However, this will reduce the level of magic power refinement. You'll need to buy a bathtub or something and use the gold coins the school gives you to continue buying herbs to take baths, so that the level of magic power refinement and the concentration of magic power can be increased in sync."

"it is good."

With a thousand gold coins in her pocket, Celia felt more confident.

……

the next morning.

Celia arrived at Blake's office on time.

Several other candidates for sainthood arrived one after another.

After everyone had gathered, Blake led them away from the office, out the door, and straight to the outside of the Forbidden Forest of Sacred Beasts. After greeting Austin, the guardian of the Forbidden Forest, they went straight inside.

As Blake walked, he said, “We’re going to the tranquil meditation room in the Forbidden Forest, located on the top floor of the Gentle Tower. From now on, you will meditate there for two hours every day. You will be reminded when the time is up, and then you will go to class.”

They soon arrived at the Gentle Tower, located on the east side of the Forbidden Forest and the northeast side of the school. Blake stood at the tower entrance and said, "Give me your student badges, and I'll grant you access."

Celia handed over the badge, and after Blake's actions, the permissions were successfully entered.

Soon, they arrived at the top of the Gentle Tower.

The top floor of this tower is neither too big nor too small. It is equipped with a magic circle to aid meditation, and incense is lit in six directions around it. Inside, you can also see the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

It's a pity the sun didn't come out today, otherwise we might have been able to see the beautiful sunrise.

Blake pointed to five cushions in the room and said, “For the next two months, you will need to come here to meditate for five hours every morning and evening. If you want to increase your meditation time, you can apply to me, but I do not recommend that you do so.”

"This place is where the magic power of the entire Sacred Beast Forbidden Forest is concentrated. Each of you has your own unique meditation method, which makes your magic power absorption efficiency very high. Excessive absorption will cause your magic power refinement to fall behind, which will slow down your progress."

Everyone nodded.

"Alright, choose any spot and start meditating. I hope to see you all reach the second-tier limit and complete your ascension to the God Realm before May."

After saying that, Blake left, leaving the place to Celia and the others.

After he left, Celia found a cushion by the window, sat down, and began to meditate.

From the very beginning, she felt five times the usual surge of magical power rushing into her body.

The overwhelming magic startled her, and she quickly focused on summarizing and absorbing it.

As she absorbed the magic, her refinement level visibly began to decline.

After two hours of meditation, her refinement level dropped to 100.5%. If she did it again in the afternoon, it would decrease by about 1% every day.

"No wonder Lord Ross told me to keep taking a bath," Celia thought to herself.

The time that followed was not much different from before, except that there were more opportunities to spend time with the other prospective saintesses, but they were all meditating seriously and rarely interacted.

Unbeknownst to them, they all seemed to be racing against time, trying to become the first person to reach a level of magical power sufficient to enter the realm of gods.

It wasn't until the weekend, when Celia was practicing spells in the activity area, that Ross's soft laughter drifted over.

"The show has begun."

Before Celia could speak, she heard Mir's voice.

"Celia, something bad has happened! Enarse... she's in trouble again."

Celia: "?"

Chapter 275 The Simp's Redemption, But It Was Useless

Recently, at the Deville family estate.

"Norsen, do we really have to do this?" Mil hesitated.

Norsen said coldly, "Last time was a very good opportunity. Although she was very secretive, we were still able to handle it. But you hesitated at the last minute. If you still hesitate now, don't bother me in the future."

A conflicted look appeared on Mil's face. He thought of how Celia had defeated him cleanly and decisively, and how her proud and powerful aura had attracted him. But this time was different from before; he only felt ashamed of himself.

So he hesitated again.

Norsen was exasperated by his hesitant manner and snorted angrily, "I knew you were a useless piece of trash and unreliable. No wonder you haven't even held hands yet. But it doesn't matter. You're useless, but I'm not. This saintess from the Temple of Poverty is quite beautiful. I like her too."

Mil's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Norsen, what do you mean?"

Norsen chuckled: "I knew you'd do this, so I acted a long time ago. My good follower, your classmate Enarse, is on her way. Now I'm giving you two choices: first, cooperate with my plan; second, do nothing."

Mil asked, "What did you make Enarse do?"

Norsen smiled faintly, "It's nothing, it just let her 'accidentally' find out the deeper reason why those gangsters wanted her to go down a dead end back then."

Mir paused for a moment, "Wasn't it you who secretly instructed them?"

"Yes and no, I also stole it from someone else."

"so?"

“Kreve has been really irritating me lately. Coincidentally, he was the one who initially put Enarse in a desperate situation. After going through all sorts of hardships, Enarse finally ‘accidentally’ traced him back to him. What do you think she will do?”

"Kill Kreve."

"Yes, but do you think that Enars, who is not yet at Tier 2, can defeat Kreve, who is at Tier 2?"

“I probably… can’t beat her.” Mir thought of Celia. “If it were Celia, even if she was only at level one, I could beat her.”

"Of course you can't beat them. Klev's puppet is tougher than yours. It might not be able to withstand Celia's attacks, but it's more than enough to overwhelm Enars."

"You want Enarse to attack Kreve, and then deliberately let Celia know so she can kill Kreve? She wouldn't kill Kreve, would she?"

Norsen chuckled: "Of course not. Last time, Miss Celia only stopped others and didn't break into the gang headquarters with her dear attendant. Although all the gang leaders were killed that night, and it's possible she was the one who did it, unfortunately, your intervention caused all my plans to fail."

"Then this time..."

"Let Kref kill Enarse, or imprison and torture her, and then 'accidentally' let Celia find out. Seeing her friend's miserable state, given Miss Celia's temper..."

"Northon, you're a monster!" Mil's eyes widened, seemingly unable to accept it. "Why would you even kill your own servant?"

Norsen said calmly, "What's wrong with that? Followers like this are destined to die seeking revenge anyway. We can just replace them with new ones. It's just that Enarse died a little earlier than the others."

"Choose: cooperate with me, or do nothing?"

Hesitation and struggle appeared on Mir's face.

Norsen frowned: "Have you caught the disease of the Holy Magic Academy? Father has said before that you must always be wary of the views the school promotes, and always remember that you are a noble, a noble noble mage, different from other mages. Don't get tainted by 'kindness,' which is an obstacle to growth."

"I don't have the concept of 'kindness,' but I don't want to see the beautiful Celia being destroyed by you like this. You don't deserve it!"

After angrily rebuking him, Mir ran outside.

Norsen frowned and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Watching Mill fly away and disappear through the door, Norsen's tense face slowly relaxed.

He snorted and said disdainfully, "I knew your good-for-nothing brother might do something so pointless in the end, but luckily, I made two preparations."

……

School, activity area.

Celia looked at the panting Mil and frowned, asking, "Did she go on another adventure and get knocked unconscious?"

Mil shook his head: "No, she found the mastermind behind her parents' murder and is now going there to take revenge."

Before Celia could say anything, Ross's voice echoed in her mind: "Focus on your work. Don't waste your energy on such trivial matters. Your friend can handle it himself."

Celia relaxed and smiled, "That's good. I'll wait for her to bring the bad guy to justice."

Mir was stunned: "Aren't you worried about Enarse? What if she fails in her revenge and is imprisoned and tortured to death in the basement by her enemies?"

Celia said, "Ainars is a student of the Holy Magic Academy. Anyone who dares to do this is going against the Holy Magic Academy."

“Those nobles don’t care about any sacred magic academy. As long as you’re a commoner, they see you no different from a dog on the street. If you don’t stop them, Enars is finished, and then…”

Celia said impatiently, "I trust Ainars. If you don't have anything else to do, don't disturb my studies."

After saying that, she continued practicing her spells.

Between casting and casting spells, one can slightly increase the refinement of magic power. Combined with Ross's medicinal bath, the refinement level can be barely maintained at around 100%.

Seeing that Celia showed no sign of taking action, Mil froze. He hesitated for a moment, then said loudly, "If anything happens to Ainars, Celia, don't get angry, don't kill anyone, remember that."

Celia acted as if she hadn't heard.

Looking at her, Mil felt he should help Celia, so he quickly walked up to her and tried to get to her side.

However, before he even got close, a bone-chilling coldness entered his body.

The further you go, the colder it gets.

When he came to within about three meters of Celia, Mil felt as if he were about to be frozen. He had a feeling that if he continued to go forward, he would freeze to death here.

He opened his mouth, only to find that he was too cold to make a sound.

A layer of ice was slowly engulfing him from beneath his feet.

He didn't come to his senses until someone pulled him out.

Then he heard Celia's voice: "Excuse me, mentors, I didn't notice someone standing behind me. Could you please take him to the hospital?"

The two instructors who pulled him back laughed and said, "It's alright, Celia, you can continue practicing. We'll seal off the area around you so no one can disturb you."

Thank you, mentor (ω)

Mir was about to say something when he saw the surrounding scenery rushing past, and the two instructors had already pulled him away quickly.
