Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

In other words, each student has a maximum of two opportunities to participate in the Sorcerer League during their time at school.

However, in this kind of global competition, most people are self-aware and don't fantasize that they are the best in the world.

It's important to know that this competition has no age limit; anyone below level four can participate.

Who knows how many professional competitors are involved, who have been hovering at the third-order limit for over a decade in their quest for the championship.

If you want to participate, you might as well participate in the Magic High School League or the Ishtar Mage League. These are regional competitions with less competition, and the chances of winning are higher.

However, even though most people are aware of their own limitations, many still sign up, especially for the individual competition, where the number of participants has reached a new high.

During lunch, Celia overheard many classmates discussing this.

She noticed that the most discussed topic wasn't the individual competition, but rather—

Changes to the number of spots available for the team competition.

"It seems there are only two spots available in this year's team selection competition, what's going on?"

“I checked, and the school did indeed only give two spots. Only the champion and runner-up of the selection competition can get them; the others only get scholarships.”

"Strange, why is there one less spot this year?"

"Could it be because the school's performance in previous years was poor, resulting in no teams even making it to the top 16?"

"I think the most likely scenario is that the school is using this spot to cause trouble."

"Is it meant to be reserved for people with connections?"

"What's the use of having connections? They can't guarantee a championship or runner-up position. They just show their faces and get eliminated. How embarrassing."

"This competition is too high-level. Everyone here is a third-tier limit mage, and the difference in strength is not much. If there is even one slacker, it will definitely be a disaster."

"That's true. We don't know what's going on, and the school isn't saying anything."

"Maybe their team performance was really too poor, which led to the Empire reducing their number of spots. Let's look at the individual competition instead. Last year, our school got third place. I wonder if any genius will win the championship this year..."

"..."

Listening to her classmates' discussion, Celia used her bracelet to log into the school's Protoss wall and view the school's announcements and everyone's discussions.

"It seems this spot was already reserved for us."

Seeing everyone discussing the amazing plays of previous mages, Celia felt a lot of pressure.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Could these sorcerers who have been stuck at the third tier for so long have refined their proficiency in many spells to the level of subtlety?"

Ross chuckled and said, "Very likely, but there's no need to worry about reaching the level of microscopic mastery in a spell. You're participating in a team competition, unless all five opponents have microscopic mastery in spells and can form a combo attack."

"So you're saying that if someone can do that, they can win easily?"

"Not necessarily. There are many things to consider in team competitions. If you try to win the championship by relying on a single subtle combo, other teams will definitely study the advantages and disadvantages of the combo. For example, they will specifically target teammates with weak defenses, defeat one of them first, and break down the combo. The chances of winning will drop significantly."

Celia felt a little more at ease.

"Besides, with this kind of multi-person combo skill, your era only has combat techniques and no fusion skills, so you definitely can't beat [Super Invincible I Love You]. Instead of refining your spells to the point of perfection, why not abandon your weak teammates and win the individual championship?"

Celia: "..."

Upon reflection, Celia realized that Ross made a lot of sense.

You can't guarantee that your teammates will all be incredibly skilled and max out their spell proficiency. Everyone has their own independent thinking, and even the strongest team can be affected by minor things, or a teammate might just zone out and cause a wipe.

Or perhaps, due to consistently poor performance, the team has become embroiled in internal strife, splitting into several smaller groups that outwardly obey the team leader's orders but inwardly defy them...

In this situation, if you are confident that you can win the championship, you might as well try the individual competition. Although you will not receive the special rewards of the team competition, you will have a higher profile than the team competition.

After all, winning the individual championship is equivalent to saying that you are the most powerful sorcerer in the world that year.

Upon reflection, Celia immediately realized that her previous idea had been hasty.

Participating in both team and individual competitions at the same time... it's impossible to even think about it. Even if the competition times are staggered, it's still impossible because in individual competitions, although one's talent may not be top-notch, their combat strength at the same level is definitely top-notch.

The current Celia is unlikely to be able to defeat her. If she wants to win the individual championship, she will have to wait four years to participate again. However, it is not worth staying for four years for one competition.

Ross said, "Staying at one level for a long time does more harm than good. Being constantly at the limit of the third level can lead to accidentally triggering the changes of ascending to godhood during daily cultivation, pulling oneself into the realm of gods."

"If you don't want to be suddenly pulled into the God Realm, the only way is to deliberately fail once or twice in the Ascension Trial. But if you do that, it will be difficult to trigger the Ascension Trial again later. Otherwise, so many middle-aged and elderly people wouldn't be stuck at the third level for life, with no hope of advancing."

"Lord Ross is right! It's not worth it."

After Ross's explanation, Celia, who had been feeling pressured by everyone's talk about how incredibly powerful the previous mages were, gradually relaxed.

The best players have all gone to compete in individual matches, that's great.

She asked, "I've already taught the other spells of the number one combo to others. When should we begin our secret training?"

Ross pondered for a moment and said, "June, then. This month, prioritize leveling up your proficiency. Only when you reach proficiency can you use combo skills. However, it's best to reach mastery level to unleash the full power of combo skills."

“What about microscopic vision?” Celia asked.

Ross stared at her without saying a word.

Celia made a face, got up and walked outside.

It's unlikely that you can master it in two months, let alone get to the minute details.

"Well, it's time for practice again... Ugh, so annoying."

Since the start of the holiday, Celia has been studying, practicing, studying, practicing without stopping for a moment, and she feels like she's about to go crazy from being cooped up for so long.

The girl fondly remembers the days when she bravely ventured into heretical strongholds and ancient ruins.

Although I was in danger at any time, I was happy.

Ross smiled without saying a word.

After suppressing it for so long, when they go to compete in the Northern League, they're probably going to unleash a fierce attack.

What would happen if there were no sacred temples in foreign countries?

Really looking forward to it.

Chapter 298 The principal is setting another flag.

June has arrived in the blink of an eye.

The selection process for the Sorcerer League is in full swing worldwide and has become one of the most talked-about topics recently.

Some say that an elf, blessed by the gods, has appeared among the elves and is shining brightly in the individual competition.

Some people also say that a powerful team called "Food Chain" has emerged in the Orc Federation, eyeing the team championship.

And various teams and individuals who participated in competitions in their early years but did not win a prize, and then came back to win.

All the messages spread rapidly across Starfall Continent via the Protoss Network.

Amidst this lively atmosphere, the Holy Magic Academy gradually concluded its selection process, choosing two teams and ten individual competitors to determine the participants for the July competition.

Including Celia and others, there are a total of 25 people.

However, there will also be mentors and students watching the competition, so the number of people is estimated to be thirty or forty when they set off.

With the training becoming longer and more rigorous, Celia had no time to think about anything else and devoted herself entirely to the training.

In addition to training in spells and combat techniques, meditation and medicinal baths were also included.

As the gold coins disappeared with a clatter, the girl's smiles faded.

In her spare time, she had only one thought—

"Is it really worth spending so many gold coins just to play in a competition?"

Rose's response was:

"Even if you don't play in competitions, you still have to spend this money. Now that you have the school's support, you're actually spending it more slowly, so you're actually making a profit."

Aside from needing to spend money to refine her magic power, Celia has spent very little money on other things, mostly the school's gold coins. For example, the magic training ground they later moved to has a meditation-type magic circle that helps with spell practice.

Under Ross's manipulation, apart from Celia, the other girls all received "revelation" after receiving the magic from Celia. Ross used Celia as a medium to instill relevant magical knowledge in them, helping them to quickly get started.

The Saintess Squad's strength is increasing rapidly.

That day, after finishing the combat training at the school, following Ross's instructions, Celia gathered the others and said, "You should have all learned the spells I gave you, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Benovia smiled and said, "The spell that Celia gave me is very powerful. It's the spell that I learned in the shortest amount of time. Judging from Celia's expression, she's finally going to tell everyone why she made everyone learn this spell, right?"

Celia nodded. "Yes, the spell I gave everyone is actually a branch of a combo technique. This combo technique is called Super... Combo Technique Number One. This combo technique is different from the Judgment Battle Technique. It requires spell fusion... Phil, how's your Elemental Harmony practice going?"

Phil said embarrassedly, "It's a bit poor... I'm only barely proficient."

Celia was stunned. She had mastered it so quickly?

Ross chuckled in his mind, "She's more than just proficient; she's being modest. In reality, she's just one opportunity away from reaching the mastery level."

Celia's eyes widened. "Is she really that talented?"

"She is a pure divine support, so it's normal for her to have a buff that accelerates the learning of support skills, just like you are also proficient in Ice Rain."

They have the power to control...

"What about Divine Enhancement?" Celia asked again.

"Sorry, I haven't practiced Holy Enhancement enough; I'm only barely proficient at it."

Celia nodded, meaning she was almost proficient.

"Based on the characteristics of this combination technique, I'll now arrange a practice plan. First, we'll try to fuse Benovia's spatial spell [Dimensional Warhammer Cannon] with Anko's [Rapid Cooling], and my [Ice Rain] with Doris's [Singularity Fire]. Phil will be responsible for using [Divine Link] to perform [Elemental Harmony] on us, eliminating any incompatibilities between the spells..."

Doris's eyes lit up as she looked intently at Celia. "What should I do?"

“Use your [Singularity Fire] to embed into my [Ice Rain] spell, forming a miniature ice and fire reaction furnace,” Celia said.

"Okay! Come on!"

"..."

Blake and several instructors, as usual, entered the spell training ground to observe the training progress of Celia and the others.

The girls are very talented. Most of the time, they don't need detailed explanations; they understand things immediately, which is very convenient, as if they have received divine revelation.

To avoid going astray, Blake would still pay attention, much more so than the two champions and runners-up from the numerous teams that had emerged from the qualifiers.

But today, upon entering the training ground, they saw that the girls were not practicing the Judgment Battle Technique, but rather other spells.

Most importantly, he couldn't quite understand what they were doing.

Celia unleashed her Ice Rain spell, each drop of ice rain transforming into a cone-shaped icicle that slammed into the training dummies like a hailstorm.

Meanwhile, Doris was manipulating a large number of sparks to collide with the ice rain. Most of the sparks exploded upon contact with the ice rain, while a small number miraculously entered the ice rain but quickly exploded along with it.

Meanwhile, Benovia was holding a huge, semi-transparent hammer that seemed to have emerged from the subspace?

Next to him, Anke was casting a water spell, immersing water into the hammer.

Phil stood to the side, seemingly using some kind of strange holy magic.

Blake and the other instructors exchanged puzzled glances.

They recognized most of the spells except for Phil's [Elemental Harmony].

But even though they knew them, they still couldn't understand what they were doing.

Upon noticing the arrival of the headmaster and mentors, Celia stopped the spell fusion process and bowed to them, saying, "Greetings, Headmaster and Mentors."

Blake asked curiously, "What are you doing? Is it some kind of sparring training?"

Celia shook her head: "No, we're practicing a new combination technique."

Blake was slightly taken aback. "A new combination technique? Are you worried that the school's Judgment Battle Strategy won't work?"

He laughed heartily and said confidently, "The Judgment Battle Technique is a battle technique that the Holy Magic Academy has tested over a hundred years. Every time it is used, it is at least in the top three. With your talent, you will definitely take first place."

The girls looked at each other.

It's better if you don't say anything, because once you do... you become less confident.

Celia thought to herself:

Having withstood the test of a century? Isn't that just an antique?

What? The "Super I Love You" song is from a thousand years ago?

That's divine certification, that's called a peak combination technique, how can they be the same?
