Promoted to intermediate level
Just after returning from the royal capital, a wizard came to ask Elena to inspect the road.
The visitor was one of the mages of the Earl's Palace, Mark. He was also the leader of the mages of the Earl's Palace. He had the highest mage rank and the longest seniority in the Earl's Palace. As a representative, he came to ask Elena to inspect several roads built by the mages of the Earl's Palace.
Elena: So fast! That's great.
"I'll go with you to take a look now." Elena looked up and asked Leonard, "Do you want to rest or go with me to take a look?"
Leonard: "It's okay anyway, I'll go with you."
Mark immediately led the way respectfully.
For a strong man of Leonard's level, he can tell whether a road is well built or not just by taking a look or stomping his foot.
After looking at several roads, Leonard said to Mark with satisfaction: "Good, you guys did a great job." It's not bad that they can do such a good job for free.
Mark was very happy. He had made a good impression in front of the demigod.
"Your satisfaction is our honor, sir." Mark said humbly.
Leonard gave Mark another smile.
The joy in Mark's heart grew even stronger.
Later, earth mages from other families came one after another. Leonard looked at them one by one and gave them affirmative praise.
The mages were all very excited.
Elena: ...Although I knew that these people were coming for Leonard, I still felt uncomfortable being ignored as a background figure.
More than a dozen roads have been inspected and accepted, and Elena also delivered the prepared refreshments to the mages one by one. Today's road construction project is completely completed.
After the mages left, Elena's smile disappeared in an instant.
Elena's depressed look caught Leonard's eyes, and he subconsciously reflected on himself.
Did he do something to upset her just now?
Probably not.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy?" Leonard asked cautiously.
Elena pouted: "These people are all here for you, and they are using me as a background. Humph, I'm not happy." It was too realistic, and it made her sad.
So that's what it was. Leonard breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing it wasn't his business.
"This is normal. When you become a great wizard, no one will dare to ignore you anymore," Leonard comforted her.
This was true, and Elena instantly became more motivated.
"I'll try my best." Elena clenched her fists.
Seeing the little girl's silly look and raising her little fist, Leonard couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Elena squinted at him and said, "You don't believe me? Just wait, I'll show you."
Leonard quickly expressed his goodwill: "I believe you, I believe you are a double S in all magic systems, the strongest talent in history. You will definitely be promoted to a great mage soon."
Maybe good things come in pairs. The day after the road network was completed, there was good news about Elena's promotion ceremony.
Ansel, who came over for dinner that evening, brought her good news: "The dean said that the items for your promotion ceremony are ready. You can go and complete the ceremony at any time."
surprise!
Elena quickly asked: "Is it okay anytime? Then how about tomorrow?"
Ansiel nodded: "Of course, if you're in a hurry, you can come over after dinner."
You can go there after dinner!
"Okay, I'll go there after dinner." Elena couldn't wait to be promoted.
After a sumptuous dinner, Elena, Ansel, and Leonard arrived at the Royal Magic Academy through the teleportation array.
"Where do I go for promotion? Is it to the promotion room of the academy?" Elena only thought of this question after arriving here.
Ansiel looked at Elena and said, "The dean has prepared a promotion ceremony for you. Of course, you will be promoted to the dean's mage tower."
ah?
The dean's mage tower!
Feeling guilty and frightened, Elena walked into the Mage Tower with unsteady steps. Even when Tallingmat greeted her, she didn't have the energy to respond.
She was so panicked.
The first two times she was promoted, she was alone. At most, she had a tight-lipped Leonard by her side, who would not say anything even if he found out something. But this time, she was promoted in the Dean's Mage Tower, right under the Dean's nose. It felt like she used to take mock exams at home, but now she was taking the exam in the classroom with a teacher supervising her one-on-one.
By the way, the Mage Tower does have a spirit, there is a tower spirit.
Isn't Towerling just a large anti-cheating device?
Elena with the cheat device: ...I feel so panicked.
Ansiel took Elena upstairs, then pushed with his hands, and a door appeared out of thin air and opened.
Behind the door was an empty room, roughly estimated to be as big as a basketball court, and the ceiling was very high, feeling as high as three or four floors. It was obvious that this room was folded in space.
"Come in." Ansiel said to Elena.
Elena's heart was beating as fast as a drum, but there was no way to retreat now, so she could only bite the bullet and walk into the empty room.
As someone walked in, more than a dozen magic lights suddenly lit up around the room, making the room very bright.
Ansiel and Leonard followed in.
Looking around the room, Elena saw a large cabinet and an iron table.
The magic potions and corresponding magic items needed for promotion have been placed on the iron table.
The dean is so thoughtful, he put them all away.
Elena felt the dean's thoughtfulness and finally felt a little relieved.
Forget it, since it has come to this, I might as well die early and be reborn.
Now that everything was ready, Elena immediately drew a magic circle on the floor and placed magic items at the corresponding nodes.
It was still the same old process. She first cast a spell to concentrate herself, then drank the strange-tasting magic potion in one gulp, and Elena officially entered the promotion ceremony.
Elena quickly completed the depiction and memorization of the core symbol. When she opened her eyes again, she had successfully been promoted to a mid-level mage.
The whole process went very smoothly, taking less than half an hour. Elena and Leonard were already used to it, but Ansel was the only one who was shocked as he witnessed such a smooth and fast promotion process for the first time.
Leonard nudged Ansel gently with his elbow. "Don't be too shocked. She's a genius. She's young and innocent, and she has no extra baggage."
Although promotion is a transformation of the body and soul, the condition of the body and soul will in turn affect the results of the promotion. If there are many things hidden in the heart and a lot of negative emotions accumulated, then problems will easily arise in the promotion process.
Ansiel turned to look at Leonard, his eyes so complicated he couldn't describe it. "Did you know she would be so successful? Have you seen her promotion before?"
Leonard hummed, "Her first two promotions went smoothly as well."
Ansel's gaze turned to Elena again. "Ah, what an enviable talent! Double S in all magic systems. Moreover, she also has a pure heart. God, she is so enviable."
At this time, Elena, who had successfully advanced to an intermediate-level mage, was in a very good mood. She was so happy that she wanted to sing and dance on the spot.
But she still remembered that the most important thing now was to find out whether the dean had discovered her "cheat".
"Is the dean busy now? Is it convenient for me to meet the dean? I want to thank him in person." Elena asked Tallingmat. Instead of waiting for the dean to find her, she would rather take the initiative to find the dean. She couldn't stand living in fear all the time.
Tallinmat's voice came from all directions: "He's on the 4th floor, reading the report. Wait a moment, I'll ask him."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Matt." Elena thanked him sweetly.
A minute later, Tallinmat's voice came: "Go up, go straight to the 4th floor, I'll open the door for you."
"Thank you Mr. Matt, you're so kind."
Elena, Leonard, and Ansel went up to the 4th floor together. There was an open door at the end of the stairs.
As they walked in, the dean was sitting in a rocking chair, holding a book in his hand, looking up at them.
"Congratulations, Elena." The dean congratulated kindly.
Elena lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted politely: "Thank you, teacher, thank you for your gift and protection."
She appeared calm on the surface, but in her heart she was anxiously awaiting the dean's judgment.
However, the dean just waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Your successful advancement is due to your own efforts."
Then the dean looked at Leonard: "Congratulations, Leonard, our new partner."
This "partner" is obviously a name given from the first level of demigod.
This was Leonard's first time meeting the dean since his promotion to demigod. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your congratulations."
The dean nodded slightly, then looked at Elena and Ansiel: "You two should go out first. I want to talk to Leonard."
Elena and Ansiel bowed obediently and retreated.
The conversation between the two demigod bosses was obviously not suitable for them to listen in.
After walking down the long staircase and reaching the lobby on the first floor, Elena finally let go of her anxious heart. It was obvious that the dean's attention had always been on Leonard, and her promotion process was very smooth without any abnormalities. So, the dean should not have discovered her "hack", right?
However, after this idea came up, Elena was not sure in her heart. The dean had lived for so long, and his thoughts were not something that a rookie like her could guess.
She couldn't help but think, maybe, maybe the dean has already found out? He just didn't say it?
Thinking of this, Elena couldn't help but feel like giving up.
Even if the dean has discovered it, since he didn't say it out loud, he must be thinking of continuing to observe her. As long as the dean doesn't say anything, she will pretend not to know. Anyway, she just wants to be a leisurely lord and has no ambition to destroy the world, so she is not afraid of the dean's long-term observation.
Even if, even if the dean really wanted to do something to her, she had game cheats and was not powerless to resist.
By the way, she also has a friend named Leonard. Leonard is quite nice to her and he will definitely help her if something really happens.
Elena tried hard to give herself courage and encouragement.
However, after mustering up courage, Elena changed her mind.
Maybe, maybe she was just thinking too much?
After all, she is a double S in all magic systems, the strongest talent in history, an extraordinary talent that no one has ever had. In the absence of precedents, her abnormality can also be attributed to her talent. Maybe that's what the dean thinks?
Elena's thoughts and moods changed from time to time. She was worried about gains and losses, and even Ansel could see her abnormal emotions.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about Leonard?" Ansiel asked.
"Ah?" Elena didn't react to what Ansel asked, and just let out a subconscious sound.
As a result, Ansiel thought that he asked too directly and made her shy.
After all, he is an adult who is nearly a hundred years old. Ansel himself felt embarrassed to talk about girlish thoughts with a 15-year-old child.
He could only forcefully change the subject: "Don't worry about Leonard. Maybe the dean just said, 'Hey, Leonard, I have a task for you,' and Leonard said, 'Sure, as long as the gold coins are enough, any task is negotiable.'"
With a chuckle, Elena was amused by him.
"That's not a good thing to say, they are still up there." Elena raised her index finger, pointed upwards, and said softly.
At such a close distance, the two bosses could still hear clearly if they really wanted to.
"You really are serious." This time it was Ansel's turn to laugh. "They wouldn't be so bored as to eavesdrop on us. They must have something important to discuss."
Elena nodded. She also felt that the two bosses would not be so boring.
Ansiel said, "I don't know what the teacher wants to talk to Leonard about, but since I have nothing else to do anyway, I'll just make a random guess and you can just listen."
Elena hummed obediently.
Ansiel said, "Leonard just returned from the Sea of Mist, where he was promoted. He's the first knight demigod to be promoted in two hundred years. The teacher probably wanted to ask him if his promotion was related to the unique environment of the Sea of Mist. After all, the example is so unique, and the teacher enjoys research."
Elena hummed again and nodded slightly: "It's possible."
Yes, compared with Leonard's promotion, what's so special about her promotion?
Elena felt inexplicably relieved.
This may be the peace of mind that comes from having someone at the top or at the bottom.
Anyway, there are people who are more special, so she is nothing.
