Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

"The gods look at the inner self!"

"His inner qualities are also stronger than yours."

"Shut up, you bastard!"

"..."

The keen senses granted by a third-tier mage allowed Celia to easily hear all the whispers among her classmates.

Divine protection...

Although this deity is not the deity that everyone thinks of, it is indeed a deity!

The girl sat down in her usual spot with a smile on her lips.

Before the meditation class started, Ainars whispered, "Celia, you've been gone for so long, you must have missed a lot of lessons. Do you want some notes? I've highlighted a lot of important points for you..."

Celia smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Enars."

Believe it or not, after being away for two months, she had already forgotten some of the second-grade knowledge she had quickly learned.

She didn't want to read the book from beginning to end, so her notes came in handy, helping her recall all the knowledge and avoid failing her final exam.

Ainars's notes were very detailed, as if they were written specifically for Celia. Celia spent an entire meditation class quickly memorizing all the knowledge points she had forgotten.

Yes, all subjects.

As a third-tier mage, Celia was granted the privilege of free movement during meditation classes. The meditation instructor turned a blind eye to her non-meditation behavior, pretending not to see it.

Of course, anyone who tries to imitate this will be met with a severe reprimand.

No one in the class dared to disagree.

You disagree? Go win a Warlock League championship and you'll get the same treatment!

Throughout the day, none of the instructors reacted to Celia's long absences; no one came to cause trouble. She could even do whatever she wanted, as long as she said so, she could go back to sleep.

However, Celia didn't do that. Having been away from school for so long, she felt a bit unfamiliar with classrooms. She decided to go back to class and try to get back into the classroom mindset.

As for improving her strength, Celia wasn't in a hurry.

She was prepared that if Ross urged her to practice, she would righteously reply that she wanted to rest for a day.

As a result, Ross did not grant her wish and did not urge her to cultivate all day.

In the end, she felt embarrassed and took the initiative to go out and buy materials for her cultivation, and began to cultivate herself.

And so, time slowly passed until the end of the semester, also known as the year-end assessment.

This year's exam was similar to last year's, with one day of written exam, one day of practical exam, and a third day of elective courses.

What's different this time is that there's an additional practical assessment.

Upon learning the rules of the practical assessment, Celia was taken aback. "Why is the practical assessment a two-on-one battle?"

If I remember correctly, last year's practical exercise was with my mentor.

Before the practical assessment, Elena gathered everyone together.

She looked at all the students in the class and said, "Starting this year, the practical assessment will no longer be against the instructor. Instead, you will be paired up based on your usual performance. The opponents will not be limited to students in the class, but in general, the opponents will be chosen from students in the class. Only if there are no opponents will you choose from other classes."

Everyone looked at Celia.

When Elena talks about this, isn't she specifically referring to Celia?

Celia thought so too.

It wasn't until the battle data came out that they realized it wasn't her.

"The one I fought was..."

Celia looked in one direction and saw a girl sitting quietly there. Sensing Celia's gaze, the girl looked over, nodded, and then stopped paying attention.

After thinking carefully, Celia finally understood the other person's situation.

“Shalin… she doesn’t seem to have a high presence in class, the kind that’s easy to overlook, and her identity seems even more mysterious than Benovia’s.”

Not only was Celia surprised, but everyone else was also stunned when they saw Shalin fighting against Celia, and they all looked for Shalin.

Some students didn't even know who Sharon was and had to ask others who she was.

Elena clapped her hands: "Shalin is the second mage in our class to advance to the third rank. While you were all engrossed in playing, she quietly completed the advancement trial and successfully reached the third rank."

"what?"

All the students were shocked.

They weren't shocked by the fact that he was a third-tier genius, but rather by the fact that none of them knew about him.

Celia looked at Sharon, lost in thought.

"Something just feels off."

Before Celia could think further, Instructor Elena had already called everyone to the assessment site.

On the field, several mentors and students who appeared to be senior students were already sitting on the side as judges.

This exam is conducted in three batches, with each batch lasting 10 minutes and involving 10 students. There are 5 sessions in total. Each class can finish in about half an hour, so 10 classes would take 5 hours. Including rest time, evaluation time, etc., it takes about seven or eight hours in a day.

Celia's class was the first to perform, but her exam was scheduled as the last one for her class.

As with last year, other students who did not participate, as well as students from other classes, are free to watch here.

Last year, there were too many people taking the exam at the same time, making it very confusing. Now there are only 5 sessions, which has attracted more attention.

"The audience's attention is also part of the assessment. Only those who can successfully perform under the watchful eyes of so many people can be considered qualified," Elena said.

Despite this, the students who took the stage were still nervous and excited, and every now and then someone would have a bad day and lose, feeling very regretful.

"But in this one-on-one competition, it's impossible for the loser to get zero points, right?" Celia muttered.

Benovia's voice rang out from the side: "Of course not. The practical assessment is about the mage's overall abilities, including puppet control, magic usage, casting speed, spell power, and so on. Winning doesn't necessarily guarantee the highest score. You might even get a lower score than the loser because you didn't handle some small details well."

Celia looked at Benovia and asked, "When are you taking the exam?"

"afternoon."

"What are you doing here this morning if the exam is in the afternoon?"

"Of course, it's to see your and Phil's exams," Benovia laughed.

Phil's exam was also in the morning.

"...What's so interesting about this? Don't you know what we're like?"

This year's prospective saintesses have broken new ground by forming teams to explore ruins and compete. They all have a deep understanding of each other, unlike last year's exams where they had to specifically look at others.

Benovia laughed and said, "Looking doesn't mean I have to find out anything. I'm just here to support you, isn't that enough?"

Celia rolled her eyes at her: "He's definitely up to no good."

Benovia said innocently, "I just came to take a look. Not only me, but Doris and Anko are here too."

Celia: "..."

So you're stalking them as a group, huh?

Just as he was about to say something, Elena's voice came from the side.

"Celia, it's almost your turn. Go and get ready."

"okay."

Celia bid farewell to Benovia and went to make preparations.

Soon it was time for her to compete against Shalin.

Thank you to "I Love Eating Fruit" for the tip!

A bit of writer's block

Chapter 386 The Sea God's Legacy?

Inside the examination room, Celia and Sharon looked at each other, waiting for the instructor to call "start".

Both sides have summoned their puppets.

Celia looked intently at the silent classmate opposite her.

Although the opponent only advanced to the third tier a few days before the end of the semester, anyone who can reach the third tier in their second year is still a super genius. Geniuses all have their trump cards, so we have to be careful.

Charlene was also watching her, without saying a word. Her puppet stood to the side, holding a staff and waiting for it to begin.

Seeing that the two were ready, the instructor raised his hand.

"3, 2, 1, Begin."

As she began to shout, a cold glint flashed in Sharin's eyes. She raised her hand, and the puppet's arm rose up, accompanied by a sound like ocean waves, as if everything around them was being submerged by seawater.

"It's a water system?"

Celia also raised her hand, but instead of having the puppet appear, she used her own magic.

When the traces of seawater spread in front of them, they were instantly frozen into layers of ice mist.

These are all condensed magical energy; they have no physical form.

Charlene's move was merely a preliminary probe; she did not immediately launch an attack.

The same goes for Celia.

After testing the waters, Sharon's attacks came like a storm.

Various second- and third-tier water-based spells surged forth.

Celia felt the opponent's attack and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Her level of just entering the third tier startled me. Judging from her appearance, I thought her strength was about the same as those players in the league."

Celia relaxed slightly, but did not underestimate her opponent. She continued to carefully counter each move and break through her opponent's water magic.

Out of respect for her opponent, she involved the puppet as well.

"This is just the end-of-year exam, not a competition or a life-or-death battle. I can just play casually," the girl thought.

The purpose of the exam is to evaluate the candidate's overall abilities.

Celia felt that if she defeated the other person instantly, the other person's exam evaluation would probably be very low.

"However, it seems that Sharon's water magic is different from the others."

Celia couldn't describe the feeling.

At that moment, Ross's voice rang in my mind: "She uses water magic from the ocean school, inherited from the sea god, which is different from others."

As he spoke, Ross was still inside the sealed land watching Ethel, relaying Shalin's situation to him.

Ross teased, "I never imagined that someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes would actually be someone who specializes in passing down knowledge and skills."

Ethel paused for a moment, looked closely, and shook her head, saying, "I'm not as bored as you. I don't know this person."

"That's it."

Rose didn't take it seriously.

Before capturing the Sea God, he would have at least followed up on the investigation by tracing the line between this classmate of Celia.

But since the sea god has already been captured, it doesn't matter anymore.

However, if he had noticed this girl before capturing Poseidon... Ross felt he would have been led astray and wouldn't have been able to find Ethel.

Does Ethel really know nothing about this?

not necessarily.

In the examination hall, Celia was slightly taken aback when she heard Ross's voice, and exclaimed in surprise, "Shalin has obtained the Sea God's inheritance? No wonder she broke through to the third level without making a sound."

Ross chuckled, "The characteristic of Poseidon's magic is that it can imprison people silently. If you mess it up, your friends will laugh at you for a whole year."

Celia immediately became alert, abandoning her relaxed state of mind. She released her mage's hand to scan the area, sensing the water magic that was quietly lurking around her. Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately cast a lightness spell on herself, jumping to the side.

A deep blue light appeared, attempting to stop Celia, but was shattered by a single ice explosion from her.

Celia no longer held back and began her attack.

Only after the attack did she realize the characteristics of the water magic from the ocean faction.
