The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

Chapter 272: Chapter 270: Learning Divine Arts and Taking Action

The second-year courses have quite a few changes compared to the first year.

The mandatory Holy Word, Meditation, Magic, and Magic Puppet remain the same.

However, Meditation and Magic have become Advanced Meditation and Advanced Magic.

The Magic Puppet class has turned into a combination of Theory and Training courses, becoming a whole new "Magic Puppetry and Practice." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Students without a Magic Puppet will be provided by the school with a standardized Magic Puppet, which means unified materials and a uniform Heart of the Magic Puppet without attributes.

This type of Magic Puppet has average combat power, only usable for regular combat training. If a mage’s own Magic Puppet brings at least 200% combat power enhancement, this type of Magic Puppet can only enhance by 50%.

Optional courses like Potions, Scrolls, Arrays, and runes, along with unimportant mandatory materials, have been unified into Rune Class and Materials Class, becoming compulsory.

The remaining six courses have respectively turned into Combat Simulation, Divine Realm Simulation, Basic Spellcraft, History, Flying, and Mage Behavior Code.

Hilia stared intently at the Mage Behavior Code, "Why is this course here?"

She looked at Rose with a pleading expression: "Master Rose, can I skip this course?"

Rose chuckled: "Don’t ask me whether you can skip it, ask your school. This course is quite interesting; it was intended to prevent you from doing evil, not abusing your magical abilities to act without restraint. Quite nice."

Hilia: "..."

"Twelve courses in total, overall not too many, a month should be sufficient. Now, immerse yourself in the ocean of knowledge."

Hilia’s face showed distress but she obediently pulled out the Holy Word.

"Don’t look at it yet. First, learn this magic."

As Rose spoke, he transmitted a magic to Hilia.

"Clarity Skill?"

Hilia was taken aback and closed her eyes to comprehend.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, surprised: "The effect of this magic is to accelerate Spiritual Power consumption, and improve memory, thinking skills, reading capacity... can enhance by up to double? Such powerful magic, how could it have been lost..."

"It wasn’t lost; it’s because learning this magic requires two conditions. First, a 100% refined Magic Power, second, mastering Mage’s Hand."

"This is Spirit Magic, isn’t it? Why does it require Magic Power refinement?" Hilia questioned.

"Because it needs to be coupled with the special magic ’Magic Conversion’ to achieve the best effect."

Rose said calmly and transmitted ’Magic Conversion’ to Hilia as he spoke.

"This magic is also very... special. The effect is to convert Magic Power into Spiritual Power... seems quite significant, yet somewhat insignificant."

Complete consumption of Spiritual Power is only encountered by Hilia after battles.

In such circumstances, Magic Power is generally also consumed almost entirely.

This magic indeed complements ’Clarity Skill’ perfectly and can be used to learn various knowledge.

"Perhaps it can also accelerate the speed of learning magic."

Hilia quickly tossed aside Holy Word and began practicing these two magics.

Thanks to her mastery of Mage’s Hand, her Spiritual Power greatly strengthened, making learning these two magics not too difficult, and Hilia soon achieved entry level.

The entry level Clarity Skill wasn’t as efficient, improving thinking speed by only 10%, and ’Magic Conversion’ was similar, converting only 10% of Magic Power, with only 10% effectively converted, the rest wasted.

With 100% refinement, Hilia was very sensitive to Magic Power consumption and could easily perceive it.

She frowned slightly, "So wasteful."

Rose laughed: "Even if you reach proficiency, the conversion efficiency is only 20%. Mastery allows for 50% conversion efficiency, and only micro level achieves lossless conversion."

"Micro level... too far away for me, mastery is enough."

Saying that, Hilia continued to use Magic Conversion until 80% of Magic Power was converted into Spiritual Power.

She quickly felt spiritually refreshed like never before and activated Clarity Skill, then picked up the Holy Word again.

At this moment, Clarity Skill had only 10% efficiency, but Hilia found that this 10% overall enhancement made her reading speed very fast and she could remember it without needing to repeatedly study as before.

Feeling this change, Hilia suddenly became interested in reading.

Over the next week, Hilia completely indulged in the ocean of knowledge.

In Magic class, she learned about the characteristics of various magics; in Holy Word class, she memorized the content of Holy Word; in Magic Puppetry and Practice class, she didn’t participate in practice but picked up related books on Magic Puppetry.

Materials, runes, Spellcraft, History, Flying, Mage Behavior Code and other courses, she read beyond what the instructors taught, directly asking Rose if she didn’t understand.

Since she had already reached Tier Two, the Combat Simulation class was not very meaningful to her, so she directly explained to the instructor and showed the various tactical knowledge she had memorized, gaining permission for free action.

In Divine Realm Simulation class, she directly read the Divine Realm knowledge Rose provided—what the instructor taught was too basic, all aimed at Tier One mages in the class, most with good talent had already explored the boundary of advancement after a year, needing Divine Realm knowledge.

Finally, Hilia straightforwardly applied to the instructor and also received permission for free action.

Only in Meditation class did Hilia stop learning, using the school’s meditation incense for meditation.

As she gained understanding of the knowledge, the proficiency of Clarity Skill and Magic Conversion smoothly improved, with both increasing efficiency to 20%.

That day, Hilia continued attending classes, and in Magic Puppetry and Practice class, she held a book, occasionally looking up at classmates being reprimanded by the instructor, feeling relaxed.

At this moment, Mier suddenly rushed over after speaking with the instructor, coming to Hilia.

Hilia looked up, "What’s up?"

"Hilia, tomorrow I’m entering the Divine Realm, completing my advancement, soon I’ll catch up to you."

Hilia said "oh" then lowered her head again, continuing reading.

Mier gritted his teeth and asked, "Hilia, I’m sincere, won’t you consider me at all?"

Hilia didn’t speak and kept reading.

Mier said, "You may not believe it, but I dare tell you, you’ll never become the Holy Daughter in the end."

Hilia still didn’t respond but her brow slightly furrowed, showing a bit of impatience.

Mier seemed oblivious and continued, "Others might not do anything to you, but the clans behind them certainly won’t let you grow easily. Only by giving up will they refrain from acting against you.

"You may think the Holy Court will definitely protect you, preventing nobles from acting against you, but have you thought, if the Holy Court still had such strong control, why did it become like this, why does it have to separate the Ista Royal Family?

"The Holy Daughter selection also represents the struggle among great clans in Huijin City and even the Ista Empire. Otherwise, why are other Holy Daughters daughters of nobles? You alone can’t play their game, why not join the Deville Clan, become my wife, though not becoming the Holy Daughter, ensuring a smooth growth for you."

"Have you said enough?" Hilia put down the book, releasing Tier Two momentum, her high concentration of Magic Power making her presence comparable to a Tier Three mage, suppressing Tier One Mier to the point of breathlessness.

Mier hesitated, then left.

Rose smiled lightly, "This guy, hesitated for so long, finally made a decision."

"What decision?"

"To do something against you."
