Chapter 274 Five Times Meditation Speed
"A Warlock League? Us?"

Whether it was Celia or the other girls, they all looked at Black in surprise.

Anke said, "Principal, we are only at the second tier right now. Even if we can advance to the third tier by July, we probably still can't compare to those mages who have been at the third tier for many years, right?"

Benovia also said, "As far as I know, many third-tier mages deliberately stop at the third tier in order to obtain this honor, constantly accumulating strength. In addition to the spells that the puppet knows, they have also learned many other spells, studied them, and applied the spells they have learned to the level of mastery or even subtlety."

Blake laughed and said, "It seems you've done your research. That makes things easier. With your progress, I think you should have no problem getting into the top three in the team competition, and maybe you can even try for first place."

"The first one is a bit difficult..."

"It is a bit difficult, but there is no need to be afraid. Since the first Mage League, only a very small number of mages who deliberately stayed at the third tier for a long time have won the championship. The rest of the time, it was the young genius mages of that year who won."

"Principal, can we participate in the team competition and the individual competition at the same time?" Celia asked.

Blake looked at Celia and praised, "See? You should have the same idea as Celia. However, I don't recommend participating in both. The individual and team competitions are scheduled at the same time. After the team competition, the individual competition will start, and you won't have enough time to replenish your magic and you will be eliminated."

Black paused for a moment and then smiled, "The team competition rewards are more generous. The team competition has all the rewards of the individual competition, but the team competition has special rewards that the individual competition doesn't have. Now is the era of ruin exploration, and most ruins require team exploration, so the Mage League encourages team battles more."

"Oh, that's a pity," Celia said regretfully.

Recalling the rewards she had seen, Celia realized that the valuable rewards were indeed the same for both individual and team competitions. In addition to the known rewards, each team competition had a special reward that could only be discovered after the competition started.

From this perspective, we can simply participate in the team competition.

"So, what are your plans?"

Blake looked at the crowd.

The others remained silent, all turning to look at Celia.

Celia: "?"

Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I can make decisions for you?
Blake said, "If you participate, for the next month or so, you will have meditation classes and one special training session after class in the afternoon. The special training before May is to help you quickly accumulate magic power, reach the limit of the second tier as soon as possible, and successfully advance to the next tier. In the following two months, you will receive special training in teamwork until the competition begins."

"Don't we need to participate in the school's selection process?" Celia asked.

"No need, you will compete as the school's seed team."

The girls suddenly felt the pressure.

Celia spoke first: "I have no objection, I can participate."

Others: "I have no objection either."

"Alright, let's start tomorrow. I'll inform your instructors later. Come to me tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to the special meditation room."

And that's how it was decided.

On their way back to the dormitory with the gold coins and supplies left at the school for the lost lighthouse, Celia asked Ross, "Lord Ross, will the school's special training affect the quota you gave me?"

Ross said, "Yes, but you're already more than halfway there, so it won't affect you much. The meditation room that the school provides for you will allow you to reach the limit of the total amount of second-tier magic power faster. However, this will reduce the level of magic power refinement. You'll need to buy a bathtub or something and use the gold coins the school gives you to continue buying herbs to take baths, so that the level of magic power refinement and the concentration of magic power can be increased in sync."

"it is good."

With a thousand gold coins in her pocket, Celia felt more confident.

……

The next morning, Celia arrived at Blake's office on time.

Several other candidates for sainthood arrived one after another.

After everyone had gathered, Blake led them away from the office, out the door, and straight to the outside of the Forbidden Forest of Sacred Beasts. After greeting Austin, the guardian of the Forbidden Forest, they went straight inside.

As Blake walked, he said, “We’re going to the tranquil meditation room in the Forbidden Forest, located on the top floor of the Gentle Tower. From now on, you will meditate there for two hours every day. You will be reminded when the time is up, and then you will go to class.”

They soon arrived at the Gentle Tower, located on the east side of the Forbidden Forest and the northeast side of the school. Blake stood at the tower entrance and said, "Give me your student badges, and I'll grant you access."

Celia handed over the badge, and after Blake's actions, the permissions were successfully entered.

Soon, they arrived at the top of the Gentle Tower.

The top floor of this tower is neither too big nor too small. It is equipped with a magic circle to aid meditation, and incense is lit in six directions around it. Inside, you can also see the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

It's a pity the sun didn't come out today, otherwise we might have been able to see the beautiful sunrise.

Blake pointed to five cushions in the room and said, “For the next two months, you will need to come here to meditate for five hours every morning and evening. If you want to increase your meditation time, you can apply to me, but I do not recommend that you do so.”

"This place is where the magic power of the entire Sacred Beast Forbidden Forest is concentrated. Each of you has your own unique meditation method, which makes your magic power absorption efficiency very high. Excessive absorption will cause your magic power refinement to fall behind, which will slow down your progress."

Everyone nodded.

"Alright, choose any spot and start meditating. I hope to see you all reach the second-tier limit and complete your ascension to the God Realm before May."

After saying that, Blake left, leaving the place to Celia and the others.

After he left, Celia found a cushion by the window, sat down, and began to meditate.

From the very beginning, she felt five times the usual surge of magical power rushing into her body.

The overwhelming magic startled her, and she quickly focused on summarizing and absorbing it.

As she absorbed the magic, her refinement level visibly began to decline.

After two hours of meditation, her refinement level dropped to 100.5%. If she did it again in the afternoon, it would decrease by about 1% every day.

"No wonder Lord Ross told me to keep taking a bath," Celia thought to herself.

The time that followed was not much different from before, except that there were more opportunities to spend time with the other prospective saintesses, but they were all meditating seriously and rarely interacted.

Unbeknownst to them, they all seemed to be racing against time, trying to become the first person to reach a level of magical power sufficient to enter the realm of gods.

It wasn't until the weekend, when Celia was practicing spells in the activity area, that Ross's soft laughter drifted over.

"The show has begun."

Before Celia could speak, she heard Mir's voice.

"Celia, something bad has happened! Enarse... she's in trouble again."

Celia: "?"
