The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　"Okay, thank you, senior!"

　The schoolgirl was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly she seemed to remember something and smiled sweetly again:

　"As expected of the heir of the Sunlight family! Thank you for protecting our sun!"

　After saying that, she trotted off, her bouncing twin ponytails swinging in arcs in the air.

　Nuo Bo stared blankly at the figure of the schoolmate walking away, and murmured softly:

　"The descendant of the Sunlight family..."

　He thought of his father, his youthful days, and the sun that lit up behind the saint.

　The boy clenched his fists and his eyes became more determined.

　"...I'll do it, Dad."

　""

　Merlin stood at the edge of the podium, opened his arms, and waved to the cheering students.

　"Alright, alright! I feel everyone's enthusiasm!"

　He smiled at the enthusiastic students and shouted:

　"There are many important things to announce today, but before that, let me announce the most important thing first."

　"That is, eat!"

　The students cheered, they could finally start eating!

　The teachers in the classroom sighed helplessly, showing a helpless expression.

　"He's always like this..." Professor Ling shrugged.

　"Alas... so perverted..." Elmo muttered.

　"Come to think of it, why did you leave the museum?" Professor Ling pinched Elmo's cheek. Elmo looked resistant. "You don't want to play with your vines anymore?"

　"Who's playing with vines! Don't insult scholars." Elmo muttered.

　"Are you still considered a scholar?"

　"Hit you."

　""

　Their conversation was drowned out by the sounds of students eating because the food was so abundant.

　Roasted whole chicken, roasted whole lamb, pizza, macaroni, croissant, foie gras, hamburger, paella, sushi, dumplings, curry, beef brisket with potatoes...

　All these words turned into bombs, bombarding the students' hearts and taste buds!

　While eating, Nobo sensed a special scent.

　He looked up at the teacher's seat and found two unfamiliar figures in a corner of the seat.

　Hmm...? Is this the new teacher?

　Nobo didn't think much about it and continued to concentrate on eating.

　""

　Xingmo tightened his hood slightly and continued to cut the beef with a calm expression.

　On the plate in front of her, the steak had been cut into more than a dozen equal pieces with exquisite knife skills.

　"Here, eat this."

　Xingmo pushed her plate to the little girl next to her - Cain was trying hard to think about how to hold the knife and fork, and had not yet made the first cut.

　"Thank you, mother..."

　"Call me Sister Xingmo." Xingmo sighed.

　"Thank you, mother and sister..."

　This little idiot,

　No wonder Lucifer chose her as the target of contamination three thousand years ago.

　Xingmo reluctantly pulled Cain's plate of steak over and started cutting it herself.

　The lively atmosphere and everything about her student days echoed in her ears. It seemed as if she had not been away from this school for long before she came back.

　In a completely different capacity.

　"Are you feeling melancholy again?" Xing Mo turned her head and saw Miriam sitting next to her, smiling brightly at her.

　"I'm re-employed after retirement, what can I be sad about?" Xing Mo muttered, "But you, holding two positions concurrently, is that okay?"

　"Don't worry, there's actually not much work to do in the Third Department," Miriam said with a playful smile. "I used to work long hours to get the system up and running, but now that they can run the Third Department on their own, I've naturally had less time to myself. Aside from some high-level transcendental items that require my attention, I've practically become moldy sitting in Dad's workshop."

　"Can one person build the system...a science and engineering girl..." Xingmo muttered.

　"It's very simple~"

　At this time, Principal Merlin stood up and clapped his hands.

　He is about to give a speech.

　"Alright, students! Now that we've had enough to eat and drink, it's time to make an important announcement!"

　"Let Professor Ling tell you about the holiday arrangements later. What I want to talk about is more important than that!"

　"First of all, next semester we will be adding a general mechanics course for fourth-year students and above! This course is a completely different branch from steam alchemy and will include many cutting-edge technological principles."

　"But please note that this course is a scientific research course. Like Advanced String Magic and Advanced Potions, students with an overall score of A+ are required to enroll!"

　"And I'm sure many of you have already heard of the professor of this subject."

　"That's-"

　Merlin turned his head, and Miriam stood up cooperatively, waving to the students in the audience:

　"Professor Miriam Phillips!"

　As soon as the name came out, the students cheered like waves!

　Who wouldn't recognize this young Chief of Section 3 of the Supernatural Department? Not to mention she was the daughter of the brilliant scientist Lucius Phillips.

　And...it's well known that...

　She is Star Angel’s best friend!

　"Okay, since you're so enthusiastic, I hope your GPA next semester will be higher," Merlin chuckled. "Let me reiterate! This subject will be a frontier of cutting-edge research, so don't sign up just to chase stars!"

　As Miriam sat down, the atmosphere among the students calmed down considerably.

　Merlin cleared his throat and continued:

　"Besides that, we have another new course! It's also for students in fourth grade and above!"

　"This course is called Advanced String Magic Duel, and it focuses on learning practical string magic of five strings and above! All outstanding students will be given priority for recommendation to the Extraordinary Department!"

　As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auditorium fell silent.

　Above the fifth string level...that's the magic of a saint.

　The students looked at each other in bewilderment – ​​if you dare to teach this, do we dare to learn it?

　Don’t we want to learn five-string magic!

　We are simply not worthy! We are not worthy! We don’t have the ability!

　Looking at the students whose mood had dropped, Merlin smiled triumphantly:

　"Of course, I understand everyone's confusion. The five-stringed instrument is the realm of saints. Most of us students will only reach the four-stringed instrument in our lifetime. The five-stringed instrument seems like a very distant concept."

　"So, let me say this again: All students who pass this course and apply for the exam will be guaranteed admission to the Sainthood!"

　“That’s why the overall credit required for this course is an S!”

　As Merlin spoke, faint whispers filled the auditorium.

　Being recommended to the Saint... this sounds like a fantasy.

　For humans, whether they can reach a higher transcendent level, there is very little that external factors can do.

　After all, the human spirit has a certain limit. If an overly strong supernatural elixir is used to upgrade it, it is very likely that the lack of stability in the spirit will lead to the reversal of the subject and the object.

　——That is, it loses control and becomes an extraordinary monster.

　And the word that Principal Merlin used was... "recommendation".

　What does that mean? You can upgrade whoever you want?

　"Well, now that we've covered the course requirements, let's introduce the teachers."

　Merlin turned around with a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xingmo who was sitting at the edge.

　The students watched as the black-robed figure stood up and saw the golden eyes beneath the hood.

　"Good evening, fellow students of Nefera Beta."

　Xingmo reached out and took off his hood, his emerald green eyes looking around at everyone in the hall.

　As soon as I saw her face clearly, cheers like a landslide and tsunami were heard.

　Before the cheers began, Merlin quickly called out her name:

　"Professor Shikoti Amra!"

　Epilogue) Stars (Part 6) -5k- (Two updates in one)

　"Look, you're a little too popular, aren't you? I just came here for a free meal, and my eardrums are almost shattered!"

　In the quiet corridor, Xingmo and Aurora walked side by side, and the latter kept complaining.

　"Is your eardrum so fragile?" Xing Mo chuckled.

　"The eardrums of our hearts are very fragile!"

　""

　To be honest, Xingmo really underestimated his popularity.

　degree.

　It was the first time she saw Nefera Beta's students so crazy. Although the name of the Star Angels was already very famous before, this was the first time she experienced it firsthand.

　It's a bit exaggerated...

　This experience made her feel heavy and warm in her heart, a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

　Familiar, because as a “human” she often experiences this emotion.

　It was strange because for her, who was once a "god", this was an experience she had never had before.

　After completely regaining his memory and divinity, Xingmo became both "Shikoti Amura" and "Eframis" at the same time.

　Experience determines personality, and since she had these two experiences, she did not feel any emotional confusion.

　However, this feeling of being occasionally familiar yet strange also made her realize how narrow her vision was in the past.

　Hanging in the sky, overlooking all living beings, the emotions that can be empathized with are ultimately limited.

　There is a heavenly perspective in the sky and a earthly perspective on the earth.

　No one has ever been able to define everything from a commanding height.

　Now, she walks both in the sky and on the earth. She is Evelamis, she is Shikoti Amra.

　The collection of all these is "Xingmo".

　"I don't want to let anyone down anymore," thousands of words condensed into one sentence, "This time, I want to protect them well."

　Her hand was held, and Xingmo looked down, seeing Aurora's brilliant smile:

　"Fool!"

　Aurora stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Xingmo's neck, and pressed her lips against hers.

　Xingmo closed her eyes and responded silently.

　Heart to heart.

　After a long while, the two separated, and Aurora smiled faintly at Xingmo:
