Chapter 90: Did he make you cry?
"Miss Doris, get serious already! Why are you still holding back?"

Celia calmly manipulated the puppet to dodge Doris's puppet attacks. Seeing Doris's reddened face, she smiled and added another sentence:

“You know what? Miss Doris, your puppet’s attacks are like whining, baby.”

boom!
Doris's puppet burst into flames, like a messenger returned from hell.

A gust of wind started to blow across the field.

Celia noticed that Doris's forehead was covered in sweat and her face was visibly pale.

Huh? No, wait, this move looks like it's about to explode?

Is she so easily flattered?
Celia quickly mustered all her strength.

But just then, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"You two, that's enough. Stop now."

Along with the sound came a strange magical force that acted on Doris and her puppet, causing the rising flames to slowly diminish and eventually disappear.

Doris looked out of the training field and saw Abros. She immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Professor Abros, our training is not over yet. Why are you stopping it?"

"Look what you're doing! Is this live-fire training? If we let you continue like this, we don't know if Celia will get hurt, but you'll be carried out of here."

Doris didn't say anything, but tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips were so full of grievance that they could hang oil bottles on them.

Although this was due to Doris's inability to accept defeat, the understanding Celia still apologized to her: "I'm sorry, Miss Doris, I didn't expect you to be so fragile."

This 'apology' caused Doris's already barely contained pearls to fall out in a shower.

Celia tilted her head: "Huh? You're really crying?"

"Alright, alright, come down now. Don't forget what I said before class," Abros urged Celia from outside the training field.

"OK."

Celia regretted angering Doris.

We should dawdle and play until the end of the class.

It's only halfway through, and Doris has already been brought to tears. Next, Abros will assign her an opponent.

So, who is the opponent?

Celia quickly scanned all the training grounds.

Ok?
Where did Benovia go?

Could she be my opponent?
Just as this idea came to mind, Celia suddenly saw Abros stop, so she stopped as well.

"Your opponent is her. Go ahead, I'll be watching from below."

Celia looked at Benovia opposite her and fell silent.

Really?

Abros snorted coldly.

"One of you left early and the other skipped class. You two seem so confident that you think you have no rivals, right? Then let's have a good fight right under my nose. If you don't satisfy me, you two will go back and write a 10,000-word battle summary."

Celia looked at Benovia, and the two stared at each other, Benovia's expression completely innocent.

She looked at Abros: "Professor, it's almost time. Fighting now is just a warm-up. Why don't we wait until the next class to train?"

Abros chuckled: "We'll practice in the next class, and we'll practice in this class too. We'll practice until the end of get out of class. Let's begin. I'll be watching."

Benovia looked at Celia and blinked: "Sorry."

With that, her puppet charged forward.

Celia was on high alert, ordering her puppets to be on high alert and to remain calm in the face of any eventuality.

However, she quickly relaxed.

Benovia's puppet attacks look fast, fierce, and accurate, but they are all wide and sweeping, clearly indicating that she is using unorthodox hand-to-hand combat skills. Her moves are haphazard, relying entirely on her reactions to attack and dodge.

Celia sensed that Benovia's attention was focused on Abros; she was clearly watching to see what Abros would say.

Abros didn't say anything, he just looked at the two of them intently.

Seeing this, Benovia attacked even more boldly, using wide and sweeping moves, and without using magic, she simply clashed with Celia's puppet.

One-sided confrontation.

Aside from the Puppet Heart and Spine, the materials used in Cilia's puppet were inferior to Benovia's. Without magic, hitting her was like tickling her; it was better to focus on dodging and getting used to the puppet's body. Seemingly realizing Cilia's plan, Benovia's attacks became even faster, her punches and kicks moving at a speed comparable to Doris's puppet using wind-based acceleration.

And so it went until the end of get out of class.

Benovia nodded to Celia, said nothing, and left.

This is very much in line with her usual behavior in public.

Very low profile.

Celia watched the other person leave, still carefully analyzing the puppet's test results.

The spine from a fifth-order creature gives the Puppet Heart almost no reaction time.

Unfortunately, the other materials were not strong enough, so receiving commands was still a bit slow.

Celia doesn't plan to change it now; she intends to wait until she advances to the second tier before considering a change.

After all, no matter what material it is, the price is beyond her current affordability.

Celia is satisfied with the current test data.

To her surprise, Ross immediately poured cold water on her enthusiasm: "Are you satisfied now? You can only unleash 50% of this puppet's maximum power. You're still far from it."

"50%? Does Lord Ross know how much Benovia contributed?"

"Her? 30%."

"And what about Doris?"

"35%."

"Doris is actually taller than Benovia?"

"Because Doris's puppet quality is far inferior to Benovia's."

"Oh, I see. Hehe, then I'm quite satisfied."

Ross rolled his eyes.

Satisfaction comes from comparison, right?

That’s right.

I don't pursue the ultimate, I just want to be better than everyone else.

"Next, I need to prepare to absorb all the shark fins and break through to the second tier!"

Looking to the future, a month ago, Celia couldn't have imagined that she could reach Level 2 before the end of the semester.

Now, she felt that the second tier was nothing special.

For the next week, Celia returned to a busy schedule, but this time she was busy with her spiritual practice.

She has mastered sleep meditation, but that's not enough. Sleep meditation is just the foundation; it simply makes use of sleep time. In terms of meditation efficiency, it can't compare to any other meditation method.

After students successfully accumulate magical power within their bodies using basic meditation methods, the school will teach them advanced divine prayer meditation methods in meditation classes.

In Ross's view, this meditation method passed down by the Holy See is an outdated version from a thousand years ago, and it simply cannot keep up with the current needs of meditation.

So Ross modified it for Celia, creating a custom meditation method just for her.

"Meditation techniques also have attribute bonuses. For example, when someone with an ice attribute uses ice-type meditation techniques, the efficiency is twice that of someone without an attribute."

"But the magic obtained through meditation is all ice-attribute magic. To convert it into non-attribute magic or to use other types of magic, it needs to be converted, which reduces its power."

"But if you use ice magic directly with ice attribute magic, both the power and casting speed will be enhanced. At the second level, choosing an attribute meditation method is a way to quickly improve your strength."

"I've created a meditation method specifically for you. You can choose another one when you reach the second stage. If you want to improve a single element, you can learn it now. Do you want to learn it?"

"Does the fact that the puppet's heart is water-attribute have any effect?"

"Ice and water come from the same source, so it's not a big problem."

"study!"

Thus, with the blessing of the new meditation method, Celia slowly reached the critical point of the first level.

 One more chapter will be released later.
