Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Anko and Phil, the most low-key candidates. If Phil has become like this, what will Anko become?

Celia was very curious.

In reality, Benovia should be the most low-key, but because of Hero, Celia actually got to know her better.

In addition, Rose said that she lived near the school, so he could see her often.

Benovia's mystique dissipated considerably when Ross occasionally mentioned her.

Celia sensed that Lord Ross was paying close attention to Benovia, and would occasionally reveal information about her.

Celia was very pleased with this.

I also learned about some of our competitors.

Chapter 127 Attribute-Free Specialization

Compared to Phil's changes, Anke's changes were much more normal.

She was petite, probably only about 1.5 meters tall. When Celia and Benovia arrived, she was already on the field, clumsily dodging the attacks of the mentor puppet.

Both Celia and Benovia could tell at a glance that she was hiding something.

Even when Celia and Benovia came over, she made a point of looking over and smiling at them.

Her smile was so cute that it immediately drew cheers from the many students watching below.

"This Anko seems quite mischievous," Celia thought to herself.

But it seems to be just a feeling.

Because she is usually very low-key, just like in this battle, she is very good at hiding her true intentions.

It could also be because they haven't been exposed to it before...

Seeing her struggling to dodge as if she were only at the first level, Celia lost interest in watching.

She thought to herself, "If you like hiding things so much, why don't you hide them during the Saintess assessment and keep them until the next one?"

"It's not like we're playing in the World Championship, what's the point of hiding it?" Ross laughed. "After the final exams, your Saintess has a separate mini-test, right? We'll find out about her then. Maybe she's hiding it now to prepare for that mini-test."

"That's true, but the year-end performance review is quite important for evaluating relationships, and she doesn't seem to care about it..."

After taking one last look and confirming that there was nothing interesting about Anko, Celia stopped looking.

Just as I was thinking about going back to check on Phil and see if she had finished her exams, Benovia suddenly said, "I'll be there soon too. Want to see mine?"

Celia looked up: "Look."

Celia only knew that Benovia's puppet was very strong, but in reality, she had no idea how strong Benovia was in combat.

My impression of her was still based on the first-order magic puppet she used.

That puppet could probably be used up to level three without any problems.

I don't know if she changed it or not.

Celia didn't have time to change.

100 gold coins are meant to be used to replace parts of the puppet.

There's just no time right now.

We need to wait until all the exams are over.

Following Benovia to her examination room, after waiting for a moment, Benovia entered the examination room as candidate number 5.

Compared to Phil and Anke, who had their classmates supporting them, Benovia was much more low-key, with no classmates supporting her and only a few scattered people watching.

Celia overheard their conversation.

"This one looks like one of our classmates?"

"Not very familiar with them, I don't think I see them often."

"Yeah, if she weren't so pretty, we probably wouldn't even know she was in our class."

"This student is so strange."

"..."

Celia couldn't help but wonder, "Doesn't Benovia have any friends in class?"

Ross said, "She rarely goes to class, how could she have friends?"

Celia was shocked: "She's skipping class? Isn't her advisor going to say anything?"

“Excellent sorcerers never memorize by rote in school. They can only accumulate experience by going out more. As long as you learn your lessons in advance, what can your tutor say to you?”

"If you can guarantee a high score, then you really don't need to attend classes..."

Ross said calmly, "So, next year, you'll need to be able to finish all the second-year subjects in at least one month."

"Wh-what?" Celia didn't react for a moment.

"In the second year, spend a month learning all the unimportant courses," Ross said.

"What are you planning to do next year? Learning all the subjects in one month... that's a bit difficult."

"You'll find out what it's all about next year. This task is meant to free you from your heavy course load."

“You now have to attend classes five days a week, and each class lasts from morning to evening. Unless you take leave, the only time you have is after dinner in the evening.”

Celia nodded gently.

She also felt that there were too many courses, which were taking up all her time.

"I don't know if you still have this many classes in your second year. If you do, you must complete all the courses within a month. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly. I may not be as good as your tutor in explaining things, but I still have some experience."

I can't compare to my mentor...

Celia glanced at Ross.

The gods are exaggerated.

You are the best mentor in the world.

The thought of Ross personally teaching her and explaining things she didn't understand made Celia feel that completing a year's worth of courses in a month wasn't such an impossible task.

Ross didn't teach her any theoretical knowledge this year, only providing guidance on combat experience, rapid training, and magic learning.

Celia also tacitly agreed that Ross didn't care about the courses she was taking.

Now that Ross was going to teach her even this, Celia couldn't help but get excited.

After saying this, Ross fell silent, because at that moment, Benovia's battle had already begun.

She summoned her puppet, the same one she had seen in Bea Village before.

Benovia did not change the puppet.

Ross was observing her situation, preparing to tailor a training program to suit her in advance based on her fighting style and habits.

I just don't know if this training plan will be useful.

Achieving a mental connection is, after all, a mysterious and elusive thing, and Ross couldn't understand at all why Celia was able to connect with him.

On Benovia's side, that connection seemed to have both worked and not worked.

It seems to have increased, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem to have increased at all.

The constant state of increase and no increase filled Ross with pessimism about whether Benovia would ever come to him.

We can only take one step at a time.

However, it's good to prepare in advance to avoid having to spend time observing and finding the most suitable method of practice later.

After the battle began, Benovia did not wait for her mentor to control the puppets before retaliating, as other sorcerers would; instead, she chose to attack first.

A heavy yellow hue emerged from her puppet, and in the next moment, the puppet was covered in earth-type armor.

Celia watched intently, and upon seeing her use a second-tier earth-elemental shield, she muttered, "Is Benovia a specialist in earth elemental magic?"

Ross said calmly, "No, she has no elemental specialization."

"Non-elemental specialization?"

"It doesn't matter which element you prefer, or which school of magic you learn."

Celia tilted her head. "Isn't that just the most ordinary type of magic without any attributes? Most ordinary people don't have magical specialization, so these kinds of people can't become sorcerers..."

"No, others have no specialization attribute, but she has no attribute specialization," Ross said calmly.

"What's the difference?"

"Without specialization, one has extremely poor magical sensitivity and cannot sense anything. Without attribute specialization, one has moderate magical sensitivity and receives a basic boost to all spells. In other words, one can sense magic and use magic, but will not specialize in any particular type."

Celia understood.

"So... Benovia's specialization... is equivalent to having no specialization at all. Even if she studies a certain spell in depth, she still won't reach the level of specialization?"

"Yes, an all-around mage."

"He knows everything, but isn't proficient in anything, yet he's still this strong?"

Watching Benovia fight, with her unrestrained and agile movements, Celia truly understood what it meant to crush opponents with gold coins.

There will only be one update during the day; I'm going to have some fun and will finish it tonight.

Chapter 128 Puppet Test

The practical test on the second day allowed Celia to understand the fighting styles of the other four candidate saintesses.

Their specific abilities couldn't be determined. Because the highest test level for first-year students is Tier 1, the Holy Magic Academy doesn't rank students directly based on individual skill; instead, it uses a scoring system.

Once you exceed the upper limit of this system, no matter how much you exceed it, you will still get a perfect score.

Unfortunately, there's no way to know the specific abilities of the other people. Anyway, everyone was hiding their true strengths, aiming for full marks but not pushing their limits.

Seeing their reaction, Celia didn't push herself to the limit and simply got a perfect score and left.

As expected, everyone got a perfect score in the end.

The second day's exam included practical exercises as well as responses to various crises. Since the requirements were all geared towards Level 1, there was not much suspense in the end.

Until the specialized exam on the third day.

"Celia, are you sure you want to take the three specialized exams: puppetry, magic circles, and scrolls?"

Before the exam, Elena found Celia for a final check.

“The runes are interconnected, I can take the test,” Celia affirmed.

Elena hesitated, then, remembering her limited rune skills, said nothing.

Perhaps there are some commonalities among the three.

“Okay, I’ve already spoken to the school and they’ve staggered the three exams. The first one is for the Puppet Rune, the second is for the Scroll Rune, and the last one is for the Array Rune in the afternoon. I’ve sent you the exam room number; you can just go there.”

"Okay, thank you, Mentor Elena!"

Following the instructions, Celia arrived at the location of the first puppet exam.

She was a little nervous at the moment.

While rune proficiency is related to strength, the relationship isn't as deep as one might imagine.

Runes were created to achieve great results with little effort. They are best suited for low-level mages to create high-level scrolls/puppets/magic circles, allowing them to defeat mages of higher levels.

If you can't skip ranks, what's the point of runes?

The answer is civilian use.

"My research on puppet runes is only used when creating my own runes; I haven't used it at other times. I don't know if I'll pass," Celia said with great concern.

Ross has made it clear that he will not offer any assistance during the exam.

Celia wouldn't ask Ross for help with the exam.

So……

The girl mustered her courage and entered the examination room, which was located on the top floor of the school's experimental area, in a spacious puppet experiment hall.

As she went inside, Celia found that there were many people there, over a hundred.
