The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess
Chapter 152 - 150: Results Announced (Fifth Update)
Hilia happily bundled the Silver Coins into stacks of one hundred each.
As she was sorting them, Benovia walked in from outside. Seeing the 12 stacks of Silver Coins in front of her, she smiled and said, "You’re doing great today, made twelve hundred Silver Coins."
"Twenty Silver Coins are leftover from yesterday." Hilia placed all the Silver Coins on the table and looked at Benovia. "Want to exchange?"
"Yes." Benovia sat down next to Hilia and asked, "How much do you want to exchange?"
"Eleven Gold Coins, please." Hilia took out 10 Silver Coins from her bag, which was just enough to exchange for 11 Gold Coins.
Benovia promptly handed over 11 Gold Coins to Hilia.
"Thanks!"
Hilia carefully stowed away the Gold Coins.
With this, in this test trial, she earned a total of 24 Gold Coins and 60 Silver Coins in just two days!
Though not as fast as robbing... the law enforcement, Hilia was already quite satisfied.
The law enforcement isn’t available every day, but this can be done daily!
Just as she was about to go to bed, Benovia’s voice came through: "By the way, the exam results are out. How did you do, Hilia?"
"What?" Hilia sat up with a start.
"Around eight o’clock, the school announced the results on the Star Spirit Curtain Wall. Didn’t you check it?" Benovia said.
"No, I was busy then and had no idea."
Hilia immediately activated her magic ring and accessed the Star Spirit Curtain Wall through the network node specifically set up by the school in the camp.
Using the star number of the magic ring, she entered her class’s score list and saw her name at the top at a glance.
"Comprehensive written exam score is 442 out of 500, with each subject being a maximum of 50... I’m missing quite a few points. Just looking at the written scores, many in the class scored higher than me."
Hilia grumbled, and Rose also shook her head: "Your grades in pharmacology and Mage Behavior Code are dragging you down, these two alone deducted 40 points. Besides rune subjects, you didn’t score much better in the others, but 442 isn’t bad."
"Good thing I got full marks in the practical exam."
The practical exam was worth 200 points, and the daily score was 50 points, both of which Hilia achieved fully. Given that she was already at Tier Two, there was no way she’d lose points on a first-year Tier One practical exam.
Rose laughed, "Total score of 692, you can get into a key university."
"Divine Magic Academy is already a key school."
Hilia scrolled through the list and found Anarce at the tenth position; her written score was even lower than Hilia’s, and with some deductions in the practical exam, her total score was less than 600.
"The special exams are not listed in the class rank, let me find out where they are... Found it, they actually rank the entire grade?"
Hilia first checked the magic array list that she completed in three minutes. Her name was at the top, securing a full score of 100 points.
The second place only had 62 points, and the third had 60, which was quite amusing.
Hilia was puzzled, "Why is the second place so far behind me?"
Looking around, only the top three passed.
Benovia sat beside Hilia, "What exam has such a huge gap? Can I take a look?"
Students not on the list can’t check scores of exams they didn’t take through remote login, they have to wait to return to school to see it on the school bulletin board.
Hilia shared her magic ring’s light screen with Benovia. Benovia was stunned upon seeing the magic array exam list, then laughed: "The special exams are different from regular exams, they’re scored with the first place as the reference. The first place must have 100 points, and others are scored based on their gap with the first."
"Hilia must have stunned everyone in the magic array exam, the gap between her and others was too big, leading to their low scores."
Benovia grew curious as to what had caused such a big point difference.
Hilia said, bewildered: "I didn’t really do anything. The exam was to crack the array, I spent three minutes cracking it, then Mr. Alvis called me away afterward. I didn’t know how long the second place took."
"Three minutes?"
Benovia’s eyes widened, lifting her head and looking at Hilia in shock.
"Did you really crack the array in three minutes?"
Hilia nodded, "The magic array exam question wasn’t difficult, just a basic Starlight Seven-Tower Type array, easy to break with a little manipulation."
Benovia’s gaze toward Hilia turned somewhat strange, "I know someone who took the magic array exam, he said it was extremely hard this time, he took an hour and a half to break it."
"Which place did he get?"
"Let me check."
Benovia twirled her wrist ring, and shortly after, she turned it off, saying, "Second place."
Hilia suddenly understood and looked disdainful, "Oh, the second place took an hour and a half, how could he pass if he’s that slow."
Benovia: "..."
She waved her magic ring, "Do you need me to convey the thoughts of the first-place scorer?"
"Cough, no need for that."
Hilia skipped past the magic array ranking and checked the scroll exam ranking.
This ranking was much more normal. She was ranked second, with a person named Pascal taking first place.
The opponent scored two points higher than her.
Hilia recalled that when she completed the scroll creation, even less than half an hour had passed and she was the first to leave.
The other person’s higher score might be due to a brilliant innovation in the exam magic [Fog Dispelling Skill], successfully offsetting the time difference and taking the first place.
This exam wasn’t particularly important, as Holy Daughter candidates only needed full marks in one special exam.
Hilia turned her attention to the final magic puppet exam.
"I still remember the bet with Doris, let’s see the results of the magic puppet exam."
Hilia first looked at the top of the list and saw a familiar name.
"Benovia?"
She raised her head, looked at Benovia in surprise, "You actually took first place in the magic puppet exam?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Benovia smiled lightly, "Not better than Hilia, just lucky, won by one point over the second place."
Rose said in Hilia’s mind, "This girl was waiting for you to be surprised, she’s been waiting for a long time."
Hilia: "..."
Thinking of the help she got from Benovia, Hilia gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"
Benovia lowered her head shyly, "Just lucky this time, not so lucky next time. You did pretty well too, with one first place, one second, and one third in the three exams."
Rose said: "She looks like she’s shy, but she’s actually so happy she can’t stop smiling."
Hilia noticed Benovia’s uncontrollable smiling, feeling the urge to pinch it off.
Doris was openly seeking praise, almost wanting to write "I’m pretending to outshine you, hurry up and be amazed" on her face.
In contrast, Benovia was very reserved, feigning shyness when she was actually overjoyed.
Hilia found herself in third place and checked the second, which wasn’t Doris.
That made things simpler.
Hilia breathed a sigh of relief.
She almost had to give Doris three months of sparring.
Scrolling down, she saw Doris in fifth place.
"Why is Doris only fifth, trailing me by 5 points?"
The young girl looked up, happily scanning the dormitory, but didn’t see Doris.
"Where’s Doris? Why isn’t she back yet?"
If you don’t return, who’s going to get me ice element puppet materials?
