Chapter 388 It’s actually her
"High Priest, I need your help."

Celia stood in front of the other person, looking at them.

The other person slowly raised their head. Celia's vision blurred, and before she could see clearly, the 'High Priest' jumped off the railing beside her and quickly left.

Celia frowned, cast Lightness and Speed ​​spells on herself, and followed after them.

Now that we've caught them, we should at least ask them what's going on.

"Don't run away, High Priest, I really have something urgent to discuss with you."

Celia shouted from behind.

She didn't run at full speed, pretending that she was just a first-tier mage and that she was having a hard time keeping up with the 'High Priest'.

In fact, she had already quietly locked onto the other person with her mental energy, ensuring that the other person would not leave the range of her mental lock.

Using mental power through the hands of a mage, unless one is stronger than Celia, they will not be able to detect it at all.

The opponent seemed to have realized that Celia was only a 'first-tier mage', and gradually slowed down.

Seeing this, Celia quickly followed.

Soon, the two arrived at an undeveloped wilderness park.

The high priest in front stopped, turned around, and looked at the panting Celia.

The High Priest's face was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see his features.

"If you have anything to do, tell me."

He said.

The voice was still indistinguishable between male and female.

He was wearing a long robe, so it was impossible to judge his physique by his build.

Gender is irrelevant.

After catching up, Celia pondered for a moment and said, "It's like this, I have a friend who is also seriously ill and wants to be healed by that beautiful angel."

"You were eavesdropping on my conversation?" the High Priest asked.

Celia slowly stepped forward, saying as she walked, "You were talking so loudly, it was impossible for me not to hear you. I came to find Grace because I heard that her child received treatment, so I came to ask her how she was cured on behalf of my friend."

The High Priest looked at Celia and said coldly, "Stop approaching."

Celia curled her lips into a smile: "I won't!"

After saying that, the Ice Shield spell was already cast on the 'High Priest'.

Celia's bracelet had already started recording. If the 'High Priest' broke free and ran away, she would use the bracelet's recording to show Benovia.

Those who know Benovia's whereabouts are either her friends or her enemies. Regardless of which one, as long as they reveal the other's fighting style, Celia believes Benovia should be able to recognize them.

Celia's sudden use of Ice Shield caught the High Priest off guard, but he reacted quickly, and water magic rapidly appeared.

The deep blue magic slammed into the ice shield, causing it to melt eerily.

Then, the 'High Priest' emerged from the melting ice shield and ran away without looking back, much faster than before.

Celia watched the other person run away, lost in thought, and did not give chase.

“This magical power…”

It was strange; it looked like water-based magic, but there was a slight difference. If it weren't for the mage's hand left on the ice shield, she wouldn't have noticed it at all. Coincidentally, Silia had just come into contact with this water-based magic that morning.

Celia watched the departing figure, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and returned to school.

"I won't tell Benovia who the other person is yet; let's see if she can guess," Celia thought to herself.

Soon, Benovia's exam ended, and Celia found Benovia and took her to a deserted place, where she played the recording of the tracking of the 'High Priest' for her.

Benovia tilted her head and clapped her hands. "As expected of Celia, I knew it. As long as you take action, you'll definitely be able to find them."

Benovia was full of surprise; she clearly hadn't expected that Celia would actually find the 'High Priest' she had been searching for so long so quickly.

Celia quickly explained, "It's just a coincidence. It's possible that you were investigating her before, which is why the 'High Priest' didn't show up. Only now that you've given up the investigation have you found an opportunity to contact Grace."

Benovia laughed and said, "I haven't given up the investigation. That's why I'm asking for your help."

Celia rolled her eyes: "So, you figured out who it was?"

Benovia stared intently at the projection until the other party broke free from Celia's ice shield and left, then shook her head: "I can't see clearly, but based on the voice and body shape, I can roughly judge that the other party should be a woman."

Celia pondered for a moment, then asked, "If you find her, what will you do?"

Benovia blinked. "Not much. Just confirm the other party's identity and purpose, and then give the appropriate reward or punishment."

Celia told Benovia about the conversation she had overheard. Benovia thought for a moment and said, "Although I'm a little annoyed at being used, if she did this to get my attention in order to save that mother's child, then I forgive her. However, the fact that she knows my whereabouts so well suggests that I might know her."

After thinking for a moment, Celia finally decided to reveal it: "Based on the traces of her magic, I suspect she's our classmate Sharon. Do you know Sharon?"

“Shalin?” Benovia thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t know her.”

Celia said, "Shalin is the only third-tier mage in our class besides me, the one who sparred with me this morning."

Benovia exclaimed in surprise, "So it was her! She's amazing!"

Celia added, "However, this student usually has a very low profile. If it weren't for Instructor Elena saying that she was already at the third rank, no one in the class would have known that there was a second third-rank mage."

Benovia pondered, "I'll go back and investigate this girl, Shalin. A mage who advanced to the next level so early must have an extraordinary background. Even I didn't know her..."

Celia said, "But I'm just guessing. I haven't confirmed it myself, so I'm not sure if it's her. Don't do anything foolish."

Benovia nodded: "Don't worry, I won't. On the contrary, if the other party is benevolent, I will try to befriend them... Maybe they are a member of the Hiro Society?"

Will Hiro do it?

Celia thought about it and realized that Sharon's behavior was indeed very similar to what Hero would do.

As for whether it is true or not, she doesn't know.

“Even if she isn’t, it’s still worth making friends with her,” Benovia said. “All the third-tier mages in the school will participate in the operation to wipe out the Deep Sea Aid Society, including that classmate, Shalin. We can find out if she is or isn’t by then by getting to know her.”

Celia nodded. "Okay, that's settled then. I'll be going now."

"Let's go have a meal together, Celia, as a way of thanking you."

"I don't need to eat. I have an exam tomorrow and need to go back to prepare."

With that, Celia prepared to leave.

"There's caviar."

Celia retorted, "Having a meal won't affect the exam. Let's go, let's go. I want two servings of caviar."
