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

Chapter 385 Second Grade Exam
The day after she returned, Celia went back to the classroom.

Her appearance immediately drew gasps and whispers from many classmates.

All the students looked at Celia with awe.

"We've only just reached the second tier, and Celia has already represented the school in the Mage League and won the championship! She's amazing!"

"Her talent is too strong. It turns out that the gap between us and her was the smallest when we were in the first year."

"If I had half of Celia's talent, I wouldn't be struggling to even reach the second tier, it would feel like I'm about to die."

"I heard that Celia is protected by the gods, and I also want to be protected by the gods."

"Come on, divine protection isn't something you just give away casually. Do you have talent? Is your divine contract high? Are you a girl? Are you pretty?"

"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'm fighting is..." Celia looked in one direction. A girl was sitting there quietly. Sensing Celia's gaze, she 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.
