"You said someone helped you, but you also said you killed him all by yourself. Listen to yourself, isn't this contradictory?" A teacher who was attacked by the Helia group for being "not good" said while suppressing his anger.

"What's the contradiction here? The people who helped me were not human beings. I was the only one who killed them!" Helia said confidently.

Not a human? What is it? A monster? Or...

The examiner who was unclear about his position stood up again and asked, "Your Highness Helia, do you admit that you grew wings?"

How could a human grow wings? This itself was very strange. In addition, Helia admitted that the person who helped her was not a human. With a little association, it seemed that an unbelievable conclusion could be drawn.

"Yes, I just have a pair of wings, otherwise how can I fight against the dragon? It's not stupid, so it will naturally not give up its advantage of flying and fight me on the ground." Helia admitted it. Many people saw it at that time, and it was difficult for her to make up a lie to deceive everyone.

"May I ask Her Highness Helia to demonstrate it for you?" the examiner asked again.

"It's possible..." Helia lifted up her other leg, tilted her head slightly to look at the examiners on the platform, raised her lips, and said, "But, why?"

"Do I have to show you if you want to? This is not part of the assessment. Why do you ask me to show you?"

"I'm not some pet for people to admire. You guys take yourselves too seriously. Do you think you can order me around just because you sit higher than me?"

Helia changed her outward appearance of being well-behaved and docile, revealing her arrogant and domineering claws. This is what an imperial princess should look like.

"Then tell me, who is helping you?" Seeing that Helia was not cooperating, the examiner on Colin's side couldn't help but said angrily.

Helia raised a finger and pointed upwards. The examiners looked up as she did, only to see the ceiling. They then all lowered their heads and looked at Helia in confusion.

"It's the God in heaven." Helia casually dropped a bombshell of heavyweight news, shocking the examiners.

Although they had guessed that it might be the gods who came to help, they quickly denied this guess. The gods were very busy, so how could they possibly take care of such a small matter!

But now that Helia had acknowledged it herself, they were really getting a little impatient.

"Which god is it?" Colin was shocked by the news, but seeing that Helia looked as steady as an old dog, he wondered if she was lying to them.

"I have grown a pair of wings for no apparent reason. Which god could I be?" Helia did not answer directly, but asked instead.

God of Light - Turmeyage.

He holds authority over the sky and possesses six pairs of wings, so it is possible that He can grant believers the power to fly.

"Did you do something to get the attention of the God of Light?" someone asked.

Helia shrugged. "I don't know. I was determined to fight the fire dragon and I blinded the dragon's eyes. The angry dragon almost threw me into the monster tide."

"I thought I was dead, but unexpectedly, a beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky and shone on me. I felt warm all over, and then my shoulder blades started to itch."

"When I came to my senses, I had grown a pair of wings, and then I flew up and escaped being torn into pieces by the monster."

"Perhaps the God of Light felt sorry for me, or perhaps he thought I was brave enough to fight the dragon alone, so he blessed me."

After hearing Helia's words, the examiners fell silent, thinking about the credibility of what she said.

The God of Light has many believers, and this god is very keen on bestowing blessings and oracles on his believers. It can be said that he is the god who displays his divine power most frequently in front of the world.

Of course, this also shows that this god has been paying attention to the developments of the world. It is precisely because of this that his faith has developed rapidly. He can be said to be the god with the best development momentum in the Otis Empire.

Therefore, it is not impossible for Helia to receive the attention and blessing of the God of Light.

"But this is just your one-sided statement. There is no evidence to prove that it was the God of the Sky who helped you." Colin said after calming down.

"But there's no evidence to prove that what I said was false, is there?" Helia retorted.

The scene fell into a stalemate. Helia had answered all the questions, and most of the examiners accepted the answer, but Helia still could not produce enough evidence to prove that what she said was true.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the trial field, and the sound came before the person arrived -

"If Her Highness Helia can demonstrate your wings on the spot, we can assume that you have received the blessing of the God of Light and acknowledge your achievement in fighting the dragon."

Helia turned around and looked at the figure who pushed the door open with the other examiners - a spirited and handsome young man.

He had short light orange hair that looked fluffy and soft, freckles on his fair cheeks, and a pair of brown eyes that were full of confidence.

He strode to Helia's side, smiled at the examiners on the podium, and said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry, that damn black magician is too cunning. I was delayed on the way. Please forgive me."

Then he looked at Helia who was still sitting beside him, put one hand on his left chest and the other hand behind his back, leaned forward and saluted, then looked at Helia and introduced himself: "I am the other examiner of this assessment, Alfie Turafa, and I am very happy to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Helia stared at the other person's light orange hair, her eyes slowly moved down, and fell on the freckles on the other person's cheeks, feeling a little familiar. After hearing the last name after the other person's name, Helia suddenly remembered that it was the Turafa family that the court magician Brahiri escaped from!

"Hello, Mr. Alfie." Helia stood up politely and returned the greeting. Her well-behaved appearance was completely different from the way she had just sat on the chair with her legs crossed with the second uncle.

"Haha, I'm really sorry. As the chief examiner, I'm late. It almost affected your highness's test results." Alfie smiled heartily. Facing such a sunny and cheerful person, Helia also felt better.

"I wonder if Your Highness will accept the request I just made?" Alfie did not sit on the platform, but stood in front of Helia. Seeing that Helia was unmoved, he patted his chest and promised: "Your Highness, don't worry. As long as I see Your Highness' wings with my own eyes, I will believe that Your Highness's bonus is valid."

"The result of the discussion at the association is that if it is confirmed that Your Highness did not lie, you will be given 100 extra points."

Helia quickly added up the scores in her mind. If she could get 100 points for the bonus items, her total score would definitely be over 85 points, which would meet the passing standard.

85 points and 60 points are two watersheds. If the total score is 85 points or above, it means that the assessment has been passed and the grade will be given according to the application. If it is between 60-85 points, the final grade will be downgraded one level, but it is still considered passed. If it is below 60 points, it means failed and there is no grade.

For example, Helia took a cross-level assessment and applied for the fifth-level magician assessment. If she reached 85 points, her final rating would be a fifth-level magician.

But if the score is between 60-85, it will be reduced by 5 points. 80 points is the fourth level, 75 is the third level, and so on.

Of course, Helia hoped to get a fifth-level rating. She had made up her mind when she chose to come to Carter College that she would either succeed or die. She must make some achievements to change Claude's mind.

Although she had completely changed Claude's mind, who wouldn't want to do more? And she was still upset about the fact that someone questioned her magic skills in the forest before!

After confirming that doing this would do more good than harm to her, Helia nodded and agreed, "Okay, I agree."

"But if you dare to go back on your word, I will be angry." She smiled at Alfie, but the smile did not reach her eyes, which only contained threats.

"Colin, do you have any objections?" Alfie turned his head to look at Colin who was sitting steadily on the podium and asked.

Helia looked back and forth between the two of them curiously. To be honest, she was quite surprised. She thought that the elders of the Magic Association were all old men like Colin. She didn't expect that Alfie would sit in such a high position at such a young age. It seemed that he had a powerful background.

And judging from his tone, he seems to be more powerful than Colin... ?

Colin never expected that Alfie would actually come back. Although he brought all his people with him this time, even the teachers arranged by the academy to be examiners were bribed by him. Almost the entire team of examiners were his people, just to take revenge on Helia.

However, there is one person who is an uncertain factor, and that is Alfie.

He is from the Turafa family, a rookie genius of the association, and a rare ninth-level great magician in the magic world.

However, he is an extremely self-centered guy. He always does things according to his own will and mood. He is used to doing things his own way. Even for an old member of the association like Colin, he does not give any face at all.

But who can blame them for their ability and strong backing?

When Colin learned that his partner this time was the troublesome Alfie, he was really overwhelmed. The draw was not something he could decide, and once it was decided, it could not be changed.

In order to prevent Alfie from disrupting his plan, he had to release the black magician he had captured and had people ambush Alfie on his way to Carters College. Given Alfie's temper, he would definitely not let the black magician go.

But he didn't expect that even though he had ordered the black magician to do everything possible to delay Alfie, this guy still came, and arrived just in time.

It was really a matter of one move.

Faced with Alfie's disrespectful and impolite question, no matter how angry Colin was or how much he disagreed, he could not refute or refuse.

He couldn't stop Alfie from doing what he had made up his mind.

He made his attitude clear as soon as he came in: he stood on Helia's side. Although he didn't know why, he wouldn't be stupid enough to make things difficult for him openly.

Moreover, there is no need for him to offend Alfie for the sake of Helia. This guy has a bright future. In the future, his voice in the association will become more and more powerful, and his status will become higher and higher. He is reluctant to give up the power and status in his hands, so he naturally will not ask for trouble and seek his own death.

"I agree with you. I have no objection." Colin said with a forced smile.

"Of course I have no objection." Helia repeated his words in a sarcastic tone. The sarcasm in her voice was so obvious that she was just about to fire a cannon at his face.

He endures it!

"What about others? Any objections?" Alfie asked others symbolically, just going through the motions, so that at least it should appear democratic and fair on the surface.

Alfie and Colin are the examiners and have the greatest say in the assessment. Since Colin has agreed, there is no point in their objection.

After obtaining the unanimous consent of the examiners, Alfie looked at Helia and made a gesture of invitation: "Can you rest assured now, Your Highness Helia?"

"Teacher Alfie keeps his word, so I feel relieved." Helia responded with a smile, and then took off her warm clothes one by one, leaving only a close-fitting white base layer.

She shrugged her shoulder blades, and with a crisp sound of clothes tearing, everyone saw a pair of pure white wings growing out from Helia's back little by little, and soon spread out behind her.
