Magic High School.

After all, he was a cheater, someone who looked at the answers and worked out the process.

When he looked at the second-place finisher, he paused for a moment.

The second place wasn't Yi Lian with 97 points, but a freshman from the Department of Mysticism with 98 points. Li Ge looked at his name...

"Mishair...or Mishair?"

Not only him, but there was also a girl named Daphne who scored 98 points in a traditional subject, who tied for second place, causing Yilian, who scored 97 points, to only rank fourth.

This made Li Ge curious. With such low combat strength in traditional and mysterious subjects, how did they manage to complete this monthly exam and achieve such high scores?

When he clicked on the profile picture, he was actually able to enter the game, and a replay similar to a "highlights" video would appear.

This immediately piqued Li Ge's curiosity.

When he clicked on Mishael's profile picture, he found the screen showing a church of the Datong Church, where Mishael was raising a scepter and saying, "I declare that the holy war of the heretics begins now! The world will only allow one Datong Church. This holy war is for God!"

Li Ge: "..."

He instantly understood: this guy had risen to become the leader of the Great Harmony Church, fooled everyone, launched a holy war, condemned all other churches in the empire as heretics, and then started plotting...

Wow... is this even possible?

Li Ge looked at the replay of the traditional girl and found that she had actually taken the aristocratic route and become the Third Princess's advisor. On the way to an outing with the First and Second Princes, she ambushed 800 people and killed the First and Second Princes, and imprisoned the old emperor.

They then began to win over the nobility, using their influence to establish soap factories and the Tutu Datong Church...

Is this really a different world version of the Xuanwu Gate Incident?

Seeing what the two of them did, Li Ge immediately dared not underestimate any of his classmates.

He, the cheater, almost lost to two geniuses who had little fighting ability but scored 98 points purely through strategy. He immediately gasped in shock. These two were terrifying!

Li Ge also discovered the advantages of the traditional school and the mystical school. The mystical school seemed to have a special ability to attack any indigenous religion and belief. Could it be that their mystical school could really summon the indigenous gods to possess them?

The traditionalists' greatest weapon is their accumulated wealth of knowledge and magical expertise.

These foundational skills can be transformed into connections and relationships in any world, and can even be replicated for others.

You should know that in a magical high school where you can freely read over a billion magic books, even a freshman's magical knowledge is far superior to that of a "prophet" in any other world.

Similar to a foolish college student from a certain major Eastern country in a previous life, who was clear-headed and stupid in China, but became a top-notch strategist who could defeat enemies in a lower dimension when he was stranded in Africa.

The weakness of the Noble Phantasm Department is that it lacks knowledge and magical foundations that can be copied and taught, and it does not have the special attack against "gods" of the mystical school. Its advantage is its strong combat power, which is equivalent to a school that converts everything into combat power.

If we use the analogy of cultivating immortality, mystical schools are similar to Zen masters, relying on enlightenment, rituals, and divine power.

The traditional school is similar to the Celestial Masters, relying on Taoist methods, nature, and knowledge.

The Noble Phantasm Department is all about swordsmanship, killing, killing, killing, killing! They transform everything into sword intent, into combat power.

Each of their magical artifacts is similar to the "sword intent" of a sword cultivator.

Li Ge took a deep breath and checked his MVP results one last time...

"The sacrifices of the empire today began with me."

hiss……

His toes curled up instantly, as if he wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground...

……

Yi Lian seemed to have just gotten up. He had been woken up by Li Ge's maniacal laughter and was still sleepy.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you so early in the morning?" Yi Lian yawned and said weakly.

“My Noble Phantasm seems to have evolved.” Li Ge said, igniting his golden eyes. Yi Lian immediately noticed that there were two lions hidden in Li Ge’s pupils.

"Croak!" Yi Lian exclaimed in shock, and immediately activated his own treasure.

However, as if she had suddenly gained some strange insight, Yi Lian's entire body turned red in an instant.

"Hiss... It's so hot!" he exclaimed immediately, then said in surprise, "My Noble Phantasm seems to have changed a bit too. Let me see... Wait, what do you mean I can now add 'liquid flames'?"

Yi Lian immediately looked bewildered. He was a morph spirit, a branch of the water elemental spirit. What did it mean that he could manipulate liquid flames?

Isn't flame supposed to be plasma? Where does this liquid fire come from?

Li Ge watched as he fiddled with it for a long time, seemingly only managing to rub out a tiny drop of water.

It was no different from regular water, pale blue and as clear as a gemstone.

However, when the drop of water landed on the floor, it splashed out instantly, and the floor that came into contact with the water charred instantly and began to burn.

And because the water droplets spread as they fell, the entire living room floor seemed to catch fire in the next moment.

"Your mother... is in good health! Quickly take back your liquid fire!" Li Ge exclaimed in surprise, almost swearing.

"I can't! I can't control this thing!"

"May your mother live a long and healthy life!"

After a chaotic commotion, they finally managed to put away the troublesome liquid fire.

However, the entire living room was completely ruined. Several floors were charred black, there were water stains and dirt everywhere, and yesterday's garbage and tables hadn't been cleaned up.

It looked like a camp for homeless people.

Yi Lian collapsed onto the sofa, completely turning into a puddle of water. He dared not use his magic weapon at all, fearing that he might accidentally create liquid fire again. Besides, this thing offered no protection to him; he himself would be burned by the liquid fire first.

"Stop lying around like a corpse, get up and pack your things. Use these few days of vacation to learn how to control liquid fire." Li Ge said impatiently.

After the monthly exam, there will be a 5-day holiday. During this time, you can go home, play at school, or go outside the school to play small games such as cave diving.

Li Ge plans to pack up and go home today.

He'd been away for a month, and he always made sure to go home to let his aunt know he was safe and sound, and also to show off a bit.

As the saying goes, "It is like wearing fine clothes at night if you do not return home in wealth and honor." Although Li Ge thought he was very mature, he couldn't help but have some thoughts of going home.

For example, at the shooting range in his hometown, he would instantly draw his gun and shoot 10 bullseyes in a row, causing the shooting instructor to gasp in astonishment and exclaim that this kid was so terrifying that he should not be allowed to live. He would be satisfied with that.

Chapter 48 Alas, is reconciliation possible?

"Okay." Yi Lian transformed back into human form and began tidying up together.

Not only the ground, but also those charred floors need to be replaced, and Yilian will naturally pay for these points herself.

Who told this guy to be so crazy, dripping liquid fire directly into the dormitory?

After the two of them worked for a while, the hall finally looked somewhat presentable.

While cleaning under the sofa, Yilian suddenly pulled out a black face mask.

He picked it up and paused for a moment.

“This…isn’t this Xiaoye?” He turned to look at Li Ge, his eyes filled with excitement.

Li Ge glanced at it, adjusted her glasses, and the lenses reflected light strangely.

"Xiao Ye? Xiao Ye, how could you die? You died so tragically!" Yi Lian looked at the mask and immediately jumped up like a frog.

Li Ge sighed, then also showed a sad expression.

"Caw! Xiao Ye, how could you be dead! Why aren't you breathing!" Li Ge dropped the broom and came over to cry at the grave.

The two even began to hold funerals for the "mask" according to the customs of their respective hometowns.

"Bang!"

The dormitory door opened, and Xiaoye and Valerie walked in. Xiaoye's gaze slowly moved from the two drama queens on the ground to the mask in Yilian's hand, and finally settled on Li Ge's face, which was pretending to be sad but couldn't hold it in.

And two people crying at a grave while wearing masks...

The atmosphere instantly became eerily quiet, and the awkwardness in the air was escalating rapidly.

"You two..."

Valerie was trying not to laugh, but Xiaoye's face was visibly flushed.

"Oh, is it possible to reconcile?"

……

After a chaotic scene of chickens and dogs running around and playful fighting, the group began to seriously clean the hall.

They also had to pry up the half-sweeped wooden floor and replace it with a new one; these were all major projects.

After working for most of the day, they finally finished and collapsed into their chairs, speechless.

"I originally came here to discuss the Noble Phantasm, but I didn't expect to come here to be your maid." Sayo said, stretching her body.

"Your Noble Phantasm has evolved too?" Li Ge asked immediately.

"Also?" Xiaoye and Valerie both looked puzzled.

The four checked their weapons and found that each person's Noble Phantasm seemed to have changed.

Li Ge's pupils concealed another flamboyant lion, whose ability was to see spirits.

However, actual testing revealed that it wasn't that he could see it, but rather that the light from the Golden Eyes could be reflected on the spirit body, and Li Ge's eyes could receive these reflected lights back.

In this way, when a spirit appears, he only needs to point his golden eyes at it to sense the spirit's location based on the reflected light from his golden eyes.

Ripples, needless to say, are liquid fire, or rather, water that can be manipulated at temperatures over a thousand degrees Celsius; in short, they are a kind of flame that looks like water.

Xiaoye has also gained additional abilities; her shadow now has a certain physical form and can even transform into tentacles to attack proactively.

As for Valerie... she might as well just self-destruct...

This wasn't an insult, but rather her own claim that the Holy Light Pegasus could ignite the Holy Flame in an instant, transforming into intense holy light and flame that spread in all directions.

Actually, it was just that her horse exploded.

After blowing up the horse, she will probably be unable to summon the Holy Light Pegasus for about two days, and she will also have a very severe headache during these two days.

In other words, after the disposable gas canister exploded, Valerie was completely incapacitated for the next two days.

Although their evolutionary paths seem somewhat abstract, Li Ge has gained a flamboyant lion, Yi Lian, a water elemental, can control liquid fire, Xiao Ye's shadow can cosplay as a tentacle girl, and Valerie's horse can be thrown around like a gas canister to create firecrackers...

However, the evolution of Noble Phantasms is ultimately a good thing, as it proves that their "fake" Noble Phantasms are one step closer to becoming true Noble Phantasms.

According to the professor of unofficial history, the evolution of Noble Phantasms is extremely rare, and many senior students are so excited that they can't sleep when they are able to evolve one before graduation.

They completed the evolution of their Noble Phantasms in just one month. Perhaps with two more evolutions, they will be able to transform their fake Noble Phantasms into real ones before even graduating.
