The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

In the realm of magic creation,

a perfect-grade evaluation is the limit ordinary magic can touch.

To achieve a perfect-grade evaluation, merely having an excellent magic circuit design and clear, precise magic structure is not enough. Even if a magician's skill is great, at most he might scrape together a 'fine' rating.

To reach a perfect evaluation, one must innovate.

This is like writing a paper, no matter how many or how superb the cited documents are (references to other magic circuits), or how rigorous and detailed the writing and terminology of the paper is (the composition of the magic structure),

if the plagiarism rate is very low, it can at most be rated as an excellent college paper. To be published in an academic journal, one must achieve certain results in areas rarely explored by others.

An Su's X-ray Illumination Skill was quite novel,

not because its design was intricately crafted, but because it was sufficiently new.

So even if it had only one circuit, and the design of the circuit was rough, as long as its plagiarism rate was below five, it would be enough to receive a perfect rating.

When An Su's ordinary. perfect grade was announced, all the magicians in the lounge stood up.

As if that line of text had a magical power that made them temporarily forget the appraisal results they were anxiously awaiting.

On the third floor of the Magic Guild, the Mercury Magic Guide Screen glowed with a bright blue light, blending with the scattered sunlight filtering through the windows, making it unclear and shrouded in a layer of dreamlike color.

[X-ray Illumination Skill]

[Healing White Magic]

[Magic Power Circuit: D- (One)]

[Magic Precision Degree: C]

[Magic Practicality: SS]

[Magic Classification: We'll notify you after we're done fighting]

[Overall Evaluation: Ordinary. Perfect (Provisional), Can be dedicated to the Goddess of Healing]

The magicians in the hall first fell into a brief silence, before, belatedly, exclaiming in astonishment.

Such a terrible magic power circuit and degree of precision could receive a perfect grade—magicians naturally understood what these two points meant.

The former indicated he was a novice crafting magic for the first time, the latter suggested he was a promising genius,

capable of producing such drastically polarized specific ratings.

There were not a few magics that could reach a perfect evaluation, but it was very rare to see such ratings.

Compared to others, Ai Xueli was more astonished.

Even shocked.

The magic was actually a proper one.

She knew An Su had high talent for magic, but always used it in bizarre, ghastly ways.

But this time, it was employed for a legitimate purpose.

The magic created by An Su could actually be accepted by the goddess?

Was this still the world she knew?

Ai Xueli, realizing this fact, felt her worldview crumbling.

It was a legitimate healing white magic that could be offered to the goddess, one that could be shown to family members.

She instinctively glanced at An Su, the youth was earnestly enjoying his fourth piece of blueberry cake, seemingly undisturbed by the outside world.

The warm sunlight poured generously onto the boy's ash-white long hair, and the light color of his white shirt also soaked up the intoxicating scent of sunshine.

He appeared, surprisingly, like a normal, beautiful young man.

If Ai Xueli knew that An Su had once combined [Friendly Pain Exchanges] and [X-ray Illumination Skill] to live-stream the nudity of his enemies, her shattered worldview would be reconstructed.

An Su ate another piece of cake; he was also somewhat surprised to receive a perfect grade.

In the game, the first time he created magic, it was only at a normal, excellent level.

He fell into contemplation.

```

It seems there is still a need for further development of X-rays.

While the crowd nearby continued to cheer and make noise, An Su's clever mind had already begun to conceive further applications,

such as combining "Friendly Pain Signal", "X-ray Illumination Skill", and "Spatial Distortion",

to be able to broadcast the enemy's feminized nude body live.

At that thought, a clean, pure smile curled upon An Su's lips.

He looked even more like a normal, healthy-minded youth with proper values.

Ai Xueli had no idea what An Su was thinking and she said to herself,

"It's a pity you're only a saint right now. If you were a deacon or higher, you would have the privilege of offering magic to the divines. Then you would know how much your Illumination Skill is worth in blessings and whether it is recognized by the magicians."

"However, even with a perfect rating, you won't earn many faith points in the short term."

"After all, you're not well-known yet and your rank is not high. Saints usually prefer to exchange blessings with established magicians."

An Su felt that Ai Xueli's words made sense.

In a way, this was like buying stocks; the saints' faith points were hard-earned, naturally inclined towards famous, great magicians.

An Su revealed a contemplative expression.

The surrounding attendants were dumbfounded, as they had not expected the big boy before them to be actually evaluating magic—and to have obtained a perfect rating.

The deacon in charge of managing the rest area hurried over after hearing the news.

No one wanted to offend a genius who would at least become a 'district bishop' in the future, and he immediately put on a warm, friendly smile.

Geniuses certainly enjoy privileges that are not bound by rules, even if it's eating too much cake.

"I apologize for our temp's neglect. Please make yourself at home in the rest area, do as you please."

"Then, can I get a takeaway?" An Su wanted more.

"Feel free to take away," the deacon said generously.

"Can I take off my pants to eat? Clothes limit my performance," Arthur wanted to show off his ruler.

"...Feel free to undress," said the deacon, still smiling.

This guy really took it as his own home.

"Mr. An Su Moningsta, as the first place winner of the charity event, you will receive personal mentoring from the vice-president of the Magic Association, Cardinal of the Radiant Holy See, 'God of Law' Merlin Andre."

"His Excellency Merlin is on the tenth floor of the Magic Association."

The deacon kept his warm smile, "Please follow me."

Ai Xueli's expression instantly became serious,

and even Arthur and Lister became pensive upon hearing the name Merlin.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Obviously, the title of the youngest Cardinal of the Radiant Holy See is that resonant.

Even these two rogues were familiar with it.

The Faceless One, the rotating chief of Heaven's Gate, the pure gaze, the organizer of 'Magic into Campus, Magic Guide Down to the Countryside' from Mary Avenue's third street, His Excellency Merlin Andre, who bears the divine title 'Rod of Radiance'.

Even in the game, His Excellency Merlin remained an enigma.

The only certainty was that Merlin's rank was above that of Bone while he was alive and that he was one of the seven strongest demigods in the Church.

Quite a heavyweight.

Since Merlin is such a heavyweight...

An Su suddenly thought of a new, unscrupulous method.

He felt he was about to make a killing.

"Do not neglect the proper manners."

Ai Xueli admonished An Su with solemnity, carefully straightening his clothes for him, "When meeting such a being, always be mindful. Do not do anything strange!"

"Sure, I'll absolutely not do anything strange," An Su declared with an innocently sincere smile.
