Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 124 Who is more suitable to be the saintess?
As soon as she came out of the room, Celia asked Elena, "Mentor Elena, may I know the scores of the other candidates?"

She dared not speak inside, fearing it would affect her reputation.

Having achieved a high score, one should at least know how others performed.

Elena knew what Celia was thinking and smiled, "You can't know now. You'll find out after the annual assessment."

"Oh, okay."

There's not much time left until the first-grade end-of-year exams.

Celia had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and follow Elena back to school.

……

After she left, the five high-ranking members of the Holy Court who were distributing the annual summary evaluations also set aside their authority and discussed the experiences of the five individuals.

Vasily was the first to ask: "Which of these five people do you think is most likely to make it to the end?"

Saintess Anna looked down at the documents. "It's hard to say. Celia's recent actions have been quite impressive, but too risky. The Saintess shouldn't be doing such risky things. If even the Saintess needs to take such risks, what's the point of having the Knights?"

Vasily immediately became agitated: "I said, if you're going to give an evaluation, then give a proper evaluation. Why are you putting down the Knights?"

"Can your Order of Discipline be like Celia, finding evidence of clergy violating the precepts wherever they go?"

Vasily was immediately stumped.

Anna then looked at Archbishop Melina, who had remained silent to the side.

"Melina, can your Order of the Lawful Knights wipe out a large heretical stronghold every time they go on a campaign?"

"No," Melina replied decisively.

Unlike Anna, who was bathed in golden light, she appeared low-key and had a rather ordinary appearance, her face showing signs of vicissitude and hardship.

“But as you said, Celia may not be the most suitable person to be a saintess. Her adventures are more suitable for my Order of the Lawful Knights. In the future, she can take my place.”

This is a very high compliment; an ordinary clergyman would probably be overjoyed.

But everyone present looked at Melina's comments with strange expressions.

This is only the beginning, and you're already planning to poach people?
Anna complained, "Why go to the Knights? Celia is capable of being a saintess in other aspects. She's always fighting and killing, but she hasn't wiped out any heretics."

Melina: "..."

The Holy Lord said, "Ciriah's performance was outstanding, and she ultimately won first place by relying on rune transformation."

"The others also performed well. Benovia, who comes from the royal family, is not very competitive, but she has already completed all the knowledge she has learned in school."

"Doris of the Duke of Lorraine conquered the ancient ruins and brought back lost artifacts;
"Phil of the Pharos family has completed the examination for Holy Priest and become a Holy Priest. He can independently complete the purification work of deep pollution and has gained some fame."
"The last one, Anke, is devoted to the research of potions and has brought two new potions to the Holy Court. Her goal is to create a potion that can eliminate the influence of the divine realm and exert its full effect in the divine realm."

The Holy Lord closed the document. "Each candidate has their own unique strengths, and they have all advanced to the second rank, mastering the Holy Word Technique to the limit of what they can achieve at their current rank. Celia made a breakthrough in her area of ​​expertise first, and she is not bad in the others either."

He looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think we should do in this situation?"

Everyone was silent.

Finally, Melina said calmly, "No matter how we choose, there can only be one Saintess, but the Holy Court needs more than just one Saintess. How to choose depends entirely on the roundtable meeting, on what kind of talent we need as the Saintess to represent the entire Holy Court." Anna nodded, "Yes, if in the end, all the candidates are not too different, we can only consider the Holy Court's future development policy and choose from them."

“In this regard, Celia has an advantage. Her talent for runes is very likely to trigger a revolution in the magic puppets. If the Holy Court wants to delve deeper into runes, then choose her. Otherwise, if you thirst for ancient knowledge, choose Doris; if you hope to purify the world, choose Phil; if you want to support potion research, choose Anko; if you want a knowledgeable and well-rounded saintess, choose Benovia.”

Blake said, "How can we be so hasty? The Holy Maiden not only represents the direction of the Holy Court's development, but also the divine, giving all believers confidence and encouragement at crucial moments."

The four held their own opinions until the silent Holy Lord suddenly spoke up: "What if the future direction of the Holy Court is to regain control of the four rebellious empires?"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

The Holy Lord said calmly, "It's too early to discuss this now. The discussion about the selection of the Holy Maiden ends here. Blake, after the Deep Sea Aid Society's summoning failed, they went quiet for a while, but recently they have become active again. You need to pay more attention to what they may have obtained."

Blake nodded immediately. "Understood. I will focus on the Deep Sea Assistance Association."

"Vasily, the temples in various towns recently..."

……

After returning to school, Celia plunged back into the ocean of knowledge.

"There are only three days left until the exam, so I should study as much as I can!"

Seeing Celia's miserable look, Ross chuckled: "Three days won't change anything. In the end, magic schools are all about strength and rank. Other written knowledge has very little weight in the score, so don't worry too much about it."

"That being said, I still want to score high enough to crush the other candidates."

Ross smiled and shook his head. "You're already doing well if you're a little taller than them; you can't completely overwhelm them."

"Don't underestimate me, I have a very good memory."

Ross remained noncommittal.

Let's not let Celia know about Benovia's terrifying memories yet, lest she be severely traumatized.

"I wonder how the other candidates deal with these messy contestant courses. I think I ran into Benovia just now, and she didn't seem worried at all..."

Celia muttered to herself.

"Perhaps she has already finished learning it."

"Maybe, we'll know the day after tomorrow."

……

Time passed quietly.

The day before the year-end exams, Elena sent the exam procedures and exam schedules to all students.

"You are first-year students and are not yet familiar with the examination process of the Holy Magic Academy. On the first day, all written examinations will be completed, including Holy Word, Puppet Theory, Spell Theory, Sorcerer Code of Conduct, etc."

"The next day is the practical exam, which will test your overall strength. Since you are first-year students, you will not need to fight in groups. Instead, the school instructors' puppets will fight against you to test your current strength."

"The third day is the professional exam, which will involve practical assessments based on your chosen elective courses, such as potions, magic arrays, scrolls, and puppet inscription..."
