He came in with a suspicious look, was startled when he saw Celia, and then seemed relieved.

He told the proctor, "No need to test her anymore. She didn't break the test by brute force. Her test score is valid."

"Huh?" The proctor was stunned.

"Just do as I say," Alvis said calmly.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After giving the order, Alvis came to Celia's side and looked at the broken magic circle.

Unfortunately, the traces of the foolproof method of breaking the magic circle disappeared after the magic circle was destroyed, leaving no trace.

After a moment's thought, Alvis said, "Celia, come with me."

"Ok."

Celia got up and followed Alvis out of the examination room, taking the 'elevator' to the room on the next floor.

The room looked like a node control center. Besides Alvis and Celia, who had just entered, there were two school instructors that Celia didn't recognize, who seemed to be the instructors in charge of maintaining the magic circle.

After greeting the two men, Alvis took out a rather complex Starlight Seven Towers magic array and said, "Can you quickly break this magic array using the method you just used?"

Celia looked at the magic circle model, then at Alvis, thought for a moment, and said, "It's a bit difficult. I just got lucky just now. I happened to have studied that magic circle before, so I took a shortcut."

Alvis looked incredulous: "You provided us with the magic array runes to suppress the pollution back then. Although I don't believe you could handle that, I'm willing to give you a chance to prove yourself."

Celia remained silent.

Then he shook his head.

“I’m sorry, Bishop Alvis, I may have to disappoint you. I really can’t break the magic circle model you gave me. I apologize.”

"Also, the suppression runes I gave you last time were indeed not made by me; they were a gift from the gods."

Alvis said impatiently, "Don't say such useless things in front of me. Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try. I can tell. If it works, I'll take you as my student and teach you about array diagrams. It won't affect your Saintess election. If it doesn't work, there won't be any punishment. At most, it will just waste a little time."

Celia remained silent, muttering to herself, "Bishop Alvis's words are so unpleasant; I don't want to be his student..."

Judging from Alvis's tone, Celia felt that if she became his student, she would definitely become a punching bag.

To avoid this happening, she decided to pretend she couldn't.

Just then, she suddenly received a knowledge transfer from Ross.

Ross's voice came through: "Use this method, it's similar to the foolproof method of breaking the magic circle, but it won't break the magic circle."

There was one more thing Ross didn't say—

But it will break the school's magic array.

I only finished writing yesterday's update on the second day, so it was a bit slow. (。_。) I'm sorry~

Chapter 132? Was it me?

That's right, what Ross gave to Celia was actually a foolproof solution.

However, its target is not the Starry Seven Towers magic array model in front of it, but the entire Starry Seven Towers of the Holy Magic Academy.

The Tower of Humility is the Sabbath Starlight among the seven nodes. In the legend of the construction of the Seven Starlight Towers, it belongs to the Sabbath after the gods created the world, and is the weak point of the entire magic circle.

Even outside the magic circle, it can be easily broken using a foolproof method.

Inside the magic circle, near the nodes, it's even easier.

However, because the magic circle covering the entire Holy Magic Academy is quite large, simple methods of breaking it cannot reliably dismantle it.

Therefore, Ross provided Celia with a structure similar to the countermeasure. This countermeasure, designed to break the protective array of the Holy Magic Academy, was modified by Ross to prevent it from working on other Starry Seven Towers-type arrays, thus rendering the countermeasure ineffective against the array in front of Celia.

This both helped Celia achieve her goal of not wanting to become Alvis's student and dismantled the century-old alliance she had long disliked.

"If a magic array is used for a hundred years without being replaced, the students inside will suffer from the accumulated residue of the magic array."

Ross has always abhorred the practice of only making changes after things have happened.

What's the use of an apology when the person is dead?

Can an apology make Hades send someone's soul back?

Although he didn't know what the school was thinking, since Celia was in the school and the school had no intention of changing this century-old formation, he would help break it and force the school to rearrange the formation.

To avoid any problems that might arise later, and if Celia were to be accidentally dragged into it, wouldn't all his hard work over the years be wasted?

After passing on the skill to Celia, Ross began to guide her in inputting magic.

The reason it's called a "foolproof" method isn't because it's simple, but because any sorcerer could easily crack it.

Like now.

Celia channeled her magic into the magic circle in front of her, which then passed through a specific circuit to the magic circle model before quietly dissipating.

The dissipated magic power blended into the surrounding environment and also into the magic array of the nodes.

No one noticed, not even Alvis.

He was intently watching Celia's actions.

A few minutes later, Celia finished her operation.

Alvis immediately took the magic circle model to look at it.

After waiting for a while, nothing changed.

Just as he frowned, the entire Tower of Humility suddenly trembled.

He looked up, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Huh? Is there a problem with the school's magic array?"

He tossed the magic circle model aside and ran outside.

At the same time, the maintenance mentor exclaimed in surprise: "The magic circle has suddenly collapsed."

"No external attack was detected, yet it was suddenly dismantled? What happened?" Another maintenance mentor immediately used magic to activate the emergency array diagram of the magic circle.

The result was obvious: the emergency array also became unusable, and the entire magic array subsequently collapsed.

"Unable to use... Do not enter emergency mode, activate emergency contact first, and contact the principal!"

"Roger that!"

The maintenance instructor pressed a red button in the room, and soon the principal's voice came through: "What happened? I felt the magic circle stop working in an instant."

The advisor said, "We are not aware of this, Principal. We suggest you come over here."

"I'll be right there. Call Alvis."

"Bishop Alvis just now... wait, where is Bishop Alvis?"

"..."

Celia stared blankly at the situation before her.

She was a little confused about what had happened.

However, from the words of the two mentors who were defending her, she quickly realized that there was a problem with the school's magic array.

This magic array, which had been in operation for a hundred years, was suddenly destroyed.

It sounds like it was dismantled by a foolproof method.

Wait!

Celia suddenly looked at Ross in her mind: "Lord Ross, you...you didn't break the school's magic circle, did you?"

“It wasn’t me.” Ross shook his head and pointed at Celia: “It was you.”

"I???"

Three question marks appeared above Celia's head.

"I didn't do anything!"

What does this have to do with a poor, weak, and helpless little sorcerer like me?

Ross smiled slightly: "What you just used was a foolproof method to break this century-old formation."

"That's not... huh?"

Celia was dumbfounded again.

"Wait a minute, isn't the foolproof solution supposed to work for all magic circles? The solution you gave me earlier, while similar to the foolproof solution, had several different magic circuits..."

"My slight modification is a special, foolproof method to break this century-old formation." Ross smiled slightly. "See? This formation doesn't require any materials or much time to break, and it can be broken by a mere second-tier mage, even if the opponent is inside the Stars of Rest."

"..."

Celia fell silent.

Can't refute.

This magic array has too many flaws.

If an enemy were to invade at this time, or if the enemy were to discover this vulnerability... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Wait a minute, has the Holy Magic Academy ever been attacked by an external enemy since its founding?

Celia carefully recalled the descriptions of the Holy Magic Academy in the history books.

No incidents have been found where the Holy Magic Academy was attacked to the point of requiring the activation of protective magic arrays.

Ross said irritably, "The protective array is not only for defending against external enemies. As for the array in your school, in addition to protection, it also has the effects of gathering elements, providing mental comfort, and modifying the body. However, these effects are not instantaneous, but are the result of long-term, continuous influence."

"So it has these effects too?"

Celia had no idea.

It wasn't mentioned in the school's introduction.

Celia had read the school's description of the seven towers, which only stated that they were the school's protective magic array, without mentioning any other effects.

The seven towers are considered iconic buildings of the Holy Magic Academy, and their functions alone are enough to attract students to enroll...

Ross said, "We don't mention it because the effects have become less noticeable after a hundred years of aging. If we listed these effects in the advertisements, students would come to school and not feel anything for a long time, and they would think the school was lying, which would be a waste of their time and money."

"So that's it."

Celia nodded to indicate that she understood.

"However, all of this is ruined..."

Looking at the two mentors who were busy maintaining order and ignoring her presence, Celia didn't know whether she should leave quietly or tell them before leaving.

After hesitating for a moment, Celia decided to leave quietly and not disturb their futile efforts.

What if I say a few words and they find out that I 'accidentally' dismantled the protective array?

Thinking of this, Celia quietly walked towards the door, only to bump into Principal Black, who was rushing over from outside.

"Hey? Celia? You've come at the right time, come and help."

"Me? Help?"

Celia was dumbfounded for the third time.

Chapter 133: Should the mentor apologize to the student? You bastard!

"Yes, help."

Blake walked past Celia into the room, saying as he went:

"I remember your magic array is very powerful. Come and help me. It seems like there's something wrong with the school's magic array."

It's not just a possibility, there's already a problem.

Celia thought to herself, then said, "Um, Headmaster, I probably can't be of much help. After all, I'm just a first-grade student who just finished my exams."

"Damn." Ross couldn't hold back.

"Grass? What grass?" Celia asked hurriedly.

"It's just a plant, don't worry about it."
