The surroundings fell silent again.

There were still sounds, but everyone was speaking in hushed tones, as if afraid of disturbing her.

Although Celia heard the sound, she didn't pay any attention to it.

Engraving runes in a bustling market can also be considered a way to train concentration.

Because of the foundation laid yesterday, and with practice today, Celia upgraded Karl's two linking devices in about fifteen minutes, then reinstalled them onto the Puppet Heart before returning them to him.

Karl waved his hand: "Just leave them on your desk. It seems you don't have any Puppet Hearts to demonstrate today. You can use and demonstrate these two as you please, free of charge."

Celia chuckled.

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

However, as he said, it would be better to have a display piece.

So Celia placed the two puppets in the upper left corner of the table and looked up at the people surrounding her.

She saw Adonis in the crowd and recognized him as one of the two mercenaries she had rescued that day, and also one of the two mercenaries who had visited her for the first time yesterday.

Celia smiled and said, "Welcome. Link device upgrade, 60 silver coins per person."

A mercenary asked, "Can I fight second-tier monsters after leveling up?"

"Complete crushing!"

Another mercenary asked, "Can I do a backflip after upgrading?"

"Even spiraling upwards is possible!"

"Can I use her as a wife after the upgrade?"

"Sure, would you like me to increase the vibration frequency?"

"..."

Once the mercenaries found that Celia was easy to talk to, all sorts of strange questions followed.

Fortunately, they didn't just ask without paying; they asked out of boredom while waiting in line for Celia to upgrade her link device.

Today, Celia's proficiency is higher than yesterday; she draws runes more efficiently and can even answer questions while drawing.

By the time she closed up shop at 10 PM, she had upgraded a total of 20 link devices, including Carl's two. Her stall attracted quite a few people who came to watch, though they were skeptical about the results.

Everything is getting better.

Even Karl, who was standing next to her, took the opportunity to sell a Puppet Heart, which was one of the upgrade links for Celia.

When it was sold, Karl's face was beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum, which made Celia very unhappy.

"He works hard all day, but he doesn't even sell as many as one of those things. How infuriating!"

Celia wasn't entirely sure about the profit margin of the Puppet Heart, but based on the one she sold yesterday, it was at least 100%.

He can earn 10 gold coins from a 20-gold-coin Puppet Heart, which is roughly equivalent to Celia's earnings from a hard day's work.

Back in her dormitory, Celia shook out all the silver coins and placed them on the table to start counting them.

Soon, the total of 1180 silver coins was counted. The original amount was 1200 silver coins, but 20 silver coins were lost because of the discount given to Karl.

"Finally, no one's shortchanging me, huh!"

Chapter 151 Results Announcement

Celia happily collected the silver coins in bundles of one hundred each.

Just as she was collecting the coins, Benovia walked in from outside. Seeing the twelve stacks of silver coins in front of her, she smiled and said, "You've had a great day. You've earned twelve thousand silver coins."

“There are 20 silver coins left over from yesterday.” Celia placed all the silver coins on the table and looked at Benovia: “Would you like to accept them?”

"Okay, I'll take it." Benovia sat down next to Celia and asked, "How much do you want?"

"11 gold coins, please." Celia took out 10 silver coins from her bag, which was exactly enough to exchange for 11 gold coins.

Benovia readily handed 11 gold coins to Celia.

"Thank you!"

Celia carefully put away the gold coins.

In this way, I earned 24 gold coins and 60 silver coins in just two days of this trial!

Although it wasn't as quick as a robbery... law enforcement arrived just as fast, but Celia was already quite satisfied.

Enforcement doesn't happen every day, but this can be done every day!

Just as I was getting ready for bed, Benovia's voice came through: "By the way, the exam results are out. How did you do, Celia?"

"What?" Celia sat up with a jolt.

"Around eight o'clock, the school posted the results on the Protoss screen. Didn't you check?" Benovia asked.

"No, I was busy at the time and didn't even know about it."

Celia immediately activated her spell ring and entered the Protoss barrier of the school through a network node specially set up by the school within the camp.

By using the asterisk on the ring, you can access your class's ranking list and immediately see yourself at the very top.

"My total score on the written test was 442 out of 500, with each subject worth 50 points... That's quite a bit low. Just looking at the written test scores, there are many people in my class who scored higher than me."

Celia muttered to herself, and Ross shook his head as well: "Your potion and mage conduct courses dragged down your score too much. Those two courses alone cost you 40 points. In addition to rune-related subjects, other subjects also lost a lot of points. 442, not bad."

"Fortunately, I got full marks in the practical course."

She got 200 points for practical lessons and 50 points for daily lessons, and she got them all. After all, she had already reached the second rank, and her first-year first-rank practical skills were not worth deducting points from her.

Ross laughed and said, "A total score of 692 is enough to get into a top university."

"The Holy Magic Academy is a top-tier school."

Celia looked through the list and found Ainars in the tenth position. Ainars had a lower score on the written test than Celia, and with some points deducted in the practical class, her total score was less than 600.

"The specialized exam wasn't on the class list, let me see where it is... I found it, it's actually ranked across the entire grade?"

Celia first looked at the magic circle rankings she had completed in three minutes. Her name was at the top of the list, and she had scored a perfect score of 100.

The second place only scored 62 points, and the third place 60, which is quite amusing.

Celia was puzzled: "Why is the second place so much behind me?"

Looking around, only the top three passed.

Benovia sat down next to Celia. "What kind of exam has such a large gap? Can I take a look?"

Students not on the list cannot view the rankings for those they did not participate in by logging in remotely; they will have to wait until they return to school to see them on the school bulletin board.

Celia shared the magic ring screen with Benovia. Benovia was stunned for a moment when she saw the magic circle exam rankings, and then smiled and said, "The special exam is different from the regular exam. It uses the first place as the score reference. The first place will definitely get 100 points, and the second place will be scored according to the difference between the first place and the first place."

“Celia must have made a name for herself in the magic circle exam, and the gap between her and the others is so big that that’s why their scores were so low.”

Benovia couldn't help but wonder what had caused such a large score difference.

Celia said, puzzled, "I didn't do anything. The exam question was to solve a magic circle. It took me three minutes to solve it. Then I was called away by Bishop Alvis. I don't know how long the second place took."

"Three...three minutes?"

Benovia's eyes widened suddenly. She looked up from her grades and stared at Celia in shock.

"You really broke the magic circle in just three minutes?"

Celia nodded. "The magic circle exam questions weren't difficult. They were very basic Starlight Seven Towers magic circles, which could be broken with a little effort."

Benovia looked at Celia with a strange gaze. "I know a friend who took the magic array exam. He said the exam was extremely difficult, and it took him an hour and a half to break it."

What was his ranking?

"excuse me, may I ask."

Benovia turned the bracelet, and after a short while, she turned it off and said, "Second."

Celia suddenly realized, and said with a look of disgust, "Oh, the second place took an hour and a half? How could they pass if they were that slow?"

Benovia: "..."

She raised her magic ring: "Do you need me to convey the meaning of first place to you?"

"Ahem, that won't be necessary."

Celia skipped the ranking of the magic circle and moved on to the ranking of the scroll exam.

This ranking is much more normal; she even ranked second, with the first place going to someone named Pascal.

The opponent scored two points higher than him.

Celia recalled that she had finished making the scroll in less than half an hour and was the first to leave.

The opponent was ahead of him, which was probably because he had made a brilliant improvement to the spell "Dispel Fog" for the exam, successfully offsetting the time difference and taking first place.

This exam isn't very important; a candidate for sainthood only needs to get a perfect score in one specialized exam.

Celia turned her attention to the final puppet exam.

"Remember the bet with Doris? Let's see how the puppet exam goes."

Celia first looked at the top of the list and saw a familiar name.

"Benovia?"

She looked up at Benovia and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually got first place in the Puppet Exam?"

Benovia smiled faintly: "I can't beat Celia. I was just lucky to get one more point than the second place."

Ross thought to Celia, "This girl has been waiting for you to be surprised, and she's been waiting for a long time."

Celia: "..."

Thinking of Benovia's help, Celia gave a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

Benovia lowered her head slightly, and said apologetically, "I was just lucky. I won't be so lucky next time. Celia, you did very well on your exams too. You got first place in one of the three exams, second place in another, and third place in the last one."

Ross said, "She looked embarrassed, but she was actually so happy she couldn't stop smiling."

Celia noticed that Benovia's lips were uncontrollably curling up, and she had an urge to pinch them crooked.

Doris's desire for praise is blatant; she practically wears "I'm showing off, you'd better be shocked" written all over her face.

Benovia, on the other hand, was very reserved and pretended to be embarrassed, but in reality, she was overjoyed.

Celia saw herself in third place, then looked at second place, not Doris.

That would be easy.

Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

I almost sparred with her for three months.

Scroll down and you'll see Doris in the fifth position.

"How come Doris is only fifth? She's five points behind me."

The girl looked up and cheerfully scanned the dormitory, but didn't see Doris.

"Where's Doris? Why hasn't she come back yet, it's so late?"

If you don't come back, who will get me the materials for the ice-type magic puppet?

Chapter 152 Doris is missing?

It's eleven o'clock.

Phil and Anke returned one after the other.

Doris is the only one who hasn't returned yet.

The others also noticed this, and Benovia asked in confusion, "The market should have closed by now, has she left the camp?"

"What are you doing out so late?" Celia frowned. "Don't you want to go back to the dorm because of the bet?"

No matter how I look at it, this doesn't seem like Doris's style.

Although she's a bit of a sore loser, she won't run away directly. At most, she'll go out and sulk, then come back and say in a defiant tone that she'll definitely win next time.

“Something’s not right.” Celia rolled out of bed and put on her clothes. “Benovia, if the tutor comes, just say I went to the bathroom.”
