Chapter 525 Fourth-Tier Intensive Class, Multiple Bets
Preparations for climbing the steps are mostly carried out at the Industrious Tower.

Besides sensing the external magic and improving magic refinement, Blake also talked about many precautions and shared his insights from the Ascension Trial with everyone.

Finally, he named this special training program for climbing the steps the "Fourth-Tier Sprint Class." In addition to his personal learning in the class, the last period of each afternoon was dedicated to learning and reflection at the Tower of Diligence.

After that, there were no longer any set study times, and they could study until the evening.

But in the end, Blake emphasized one more thing.

"The Forbidden Forest of Sacred Beasts at night is quite dangerous for you. There are many high-level sacred beasts in the forest that like to torment students who have wandered in. So, you'd better finish your studies before dark. If you're worried, you can seek help from the instructors stationed at the Diligent Tower, but they may not be able to help you."

"The sacred beasts of the Forbidden Forest of Sacred Beasts?"

Celia couldn't help but become interested.

Under Ross's guidance, she often went fishing at the Forbidden Forest Lake, but she rarely encountered the legendary sacred beast.

"I wonder what a sacred beast looks like, and how it differs from an ordinary magical beast," Celia thought to herself.

Ross's voice came through: "Back then, when I sent you fishing, your strength was too low, and those sacred beasts weren't very interested in you. But now it's different. You're at the third tier, and they'll really show up and be terrifying."

"Has Lord Ross ever seen those sacred beasts?" Celia asked curiously.

Ross nodded. "Of course, if you're interested, you can hunt a sacred beast for a barbecue."

"Hunting sacred beasts... Won't the school be angry?"

Ross didn't care: "At most, I'll be fired. It's not a big deal."

Celia: "..."

It sounds like the sacred beast is just teasing the students and won't harm them.

Celia made up her mind that once school officially started, she would deliberately study until nightfall one day, and then see what the sacred beasts were.

Out of caution, Celia asked Ross, "What are the ranks of those sacred beasts?"

"Minimum level five."

That's fine.

Celia didn't want to be fooled by a group of fifth-tier sacred beasts.

After Blake finished his guidance, he asked all the students to stay there and then left.

Benovia approached Celia and pulled her into the Saintess Clique.

Doris put her hands on her hips and looked at everyone: "How about it, do you want to have a competition and see who advances first?"

Benovia looked at Phil and said, "I don't think I can beat him, so I'll just give up."

Phil has recovered well, but her ordeal in Leicester City left her with her head down, too ashamed to speak to anyone.

Celia checked Phil's physical condition and asked, "How are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Phil shook his head. "No, I'm sorry."

Doris patted Phil on the shoulder: "What do you mean sorry? You have no idea how cool you are. Why can't I have such a good thing? Although I was invaded by pollution, it also expanded my body. Damn it."

Celia rolled her eyes: "Forget about it. Phil has a special constitution that allows him to withstand pollution. If you go up there, you'll be crippled in no time."

Doris retorted, "How could that be? Don't look down on me, Celia. How about we have a competition to see who reaches level four first?"

Celia scoffed, "I won't compare myself to an idiot."

"You are the stupid one!"

"..."

The Saintess group was having a great time. Celia paid special attention to Anko's hair, which was gray with a faint hint of white.

It seems Anke wouldn't dare to flaunt her green hair at school.

Just then, Celia sensed someone watching her, turned around, and saw Sharon.

Celia waved: "Shalin, over here, come play!"

Seeing that Shalin hesitated, Celia went over and pulled her over.

"Let me introduce you. This is Benovia, this is Anko, and this is Phil. Her name is Shalin, and she's in my class. Although she's not a candidate for sainthood, she's still a genius."

After waiting a while without being introduced, Doris said with dissatisfaction, "What about me? Celia, have you forgotten something?"

"Oh, this idiot's name is Doris, just ignore her."

"you……!"

Shalin seemed a little uncomfortable and nervously greeted everyone. Celia noticed Shalin's discomfort, but since they would be seeing each other all the time in the future, and they were all students in the fourth-tier intensive class, they would definitely need to exchange and learn from each other in the future, so it was better to get to know each other beforehand.

Not just Sharon, but the other classmates can also get to know each other, but this kind of thing...

Celia looked at Benovia.

Benovia seems more suitable.

……

After leaving the Tower of Diligence, Celia bid farewell to everyone and returned to her dormitory.

Rose's phantom appeared from the side.

“Summon the puppet,” Ross said.

Celia's heart skipped a beat.

coming.

The girl was extremely reluctant to summon the puppet.

Ross manipulates the puppet and begins to plan for Celia.

“Now, apart from your magic refinement level, you meet the basic requirements for the Ascension Trial in every other aspect. It would be best if your magic refinement level reached 120%, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t. I’ll give you half a month to finish learning all the subjects, and then you can start preparing for the Ascension Trial.”

"Half a month?"

Celia's eyes widened.

Last year it took another month.

How come it's only been half a month this year?
Is this some kind of exploitation?!
Ross said irritably, "Half a month is pretty good. There are many things you don't need to study specifically. Those subjects, such as runes, spells, holy words, etc., your learning progress has long surpassed that of other students. Don't waste too much time on them."

"I...I'll give it a try..."

Celia herself sounded unsure of herself.

A year's worth of courses, totaling 12 subjects, can be completed in half a month.

too frightening.

“A genius should act like a genius. If you can’t even do that, how can you be a well-rounded genius?” Ross said calmly. “You might not believe it, but your friend, Benovia, has already completed five years’ worth of studies. Are you going to admit that you’re inferior to Benovia?”

It was never as good as...

Celia muttered to herself, but didn't say it aloud.

Before Ross could finish his tirade, she raised her head and said firmly, "Don't worry, Lord Ross, I can do it."

Ross withdrew his hand and nodded approvingly.

"Then, let's get started."

Celia's face fell, and she reluctantly opened the textbook.

Ross watched, his attention slowly shifting to the other side.

Benovia also returned to her secret cabin.

After a moment's thought, Ross delivered a 'divine oracle' to her as she prayed.

"Complete the perception of external magic within half a month."

Benovia opened her eyes and looked at the statue in front of her.

"Ok."

She nodded earnestly.

Besides Benovia, Ross was also paying attention to another person—

Phil.

A month before school started, Phil ran away from home and returned to the Temple of Ember to treat patients.

Now that she has left school, she is preparing to go to the Temple of Embers to become a diligent priest.

While Celia was engrossed in her studies, Ross used his puppet to teleport and stop Phil.

"follow me."

Ross's tone left no room for argument.
