Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

"I, I'll go and ask clearly." In the end, Lan Xinyu left the classroom...

"What happened?" Chen Zhirun was discussing the final trial list with his colleagues in the seminar room of the Magic Academy when he noticed Lan Xinyu rushing in with tears on her face.

"Teacher Chen, I want to check the results of the spell assessment again. I think my spellcasting was pretty good this time."

Chen Zhirun understood her expectations. He was silent for a moment and handed her a pile of parchment scrolls: "Take a look for yourself."

"Thank you, Master." Lan Xinyu took it and flipped through it quickly. The scrolls were arranged according to spell effectiveness. The first one belonged to Li Li, which was flawless as always. She glanced at it with jealous eyes and continued to search. Soon she found her own scroll, which was listed as the 31st.

Her fingers began to tremble slightly, and surprisingly, she was only a hair's breadth away from the previous one.

“Teacher Chen, can you give me another chance? I’m only one point short!” Lan Xinyu couldn’t control herself and burst into tears.

"No." Chen Zhirun handed her a magic tissue, his movements were gentle but his words were firm. "If everyone is like this, then what is the meaning of the trial? It doesn't matter if you lose this time, you can just keep trying next time."

Try again? That's easy to say. As a high school wizard, she doesn't have the chance to start over.

Lan Xinyu left the seminar room in tears. Chen Zhirun sighed deeply. Every year, there are students like this who are upset about the results, but what can they do? Fate is set and cannot be repeated.

The laws of magic are fair and selfless. Right is right, wrong is wrong. There are no blurred boundaries and everything is as clear as a mirror.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Rui, Xinyu was too excited just now and spoke rashly. Don't take it to heart. I apologize to you on her behalf." After returning to the dormitory, Li Yanshuang spoke cautiously.

Zhou Rui paused for a moment on the spell book in her hand. "It's okay."

She is open-minded and straightforward, but not without scheming. She knows the meaning behind Lan Xinyu's words very well.

Shen Jinzhu felt sorry for her, "You can't say that even if you're in a bad mood. Zhou Rui's efforts are obvious to everyone. How can she say that?"

Li Yanshuang had no way to explain, and the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became awkward.

Soon, Lan Xinyu came back in a daze. Everyone exchanged glances and chose to remain silent.

She sat for a long time, then stood up and silently sorted out her things. Li Yanshuang tried to help, but she gently pushed him away.

"Don't bother with her." Shen Jinzhu grabbed Li Yanshuang and motioned for them to stay away.

Lan Xinyu didn't have much luggage, so she packed it quickly. Before leaving, she said, "If I had your wisdom and talent, or came from a prominent magic family, I might not leave now. After all, I am not as skilled as you."

Li Li sneered and slammed the ancient German spell book in her hand on the table. "You are indeed inferior to others in every aspect. Shuci was able to stay until the end because she was frantically doing exercises while you were obsessed with magic dramas. Yan Shuang was able to stay until the end because she was studying the classics in the library day and night while you were building relationships with seniors. Shen Jinzhu was able to stay until the end because she was analyzing various spells while you were asking about gossip. Zhou Rui was able to stay until the end because she was asking questions everywhere while you were tinkering with alchemical reagents. Do I need to explain why I was able to stay until the end?"

"Instead of reflecting on your own shortcomings, you blame fate for being unfair. I feel sorry for your magical ancestors!"

Lilia's impassioned speech stunned everyone present. Lannis's face turned red and white alternately. Shame and anger surged in her heart. She quickly fought back, "What about you? What are you proud of? So what if you have excellent grades? You still bow down to Julia. The daughter of a peddler selling mysterious spices, you want to cling to a noble family like Julia. It's just a pipe dream!"

Lilia Frost looked at her in surprise, "What are you talking about!"

"This is too much!" Shen Jinzhu was so impulsive that he almost stepped forward to provoke.

"Why, did I say something wrong? She was so eager to curry favor with Julia's brother on the first day. Who can believe that she had no purpose!" Lannis decided to tear off her disguise and do whatever she wanted.

Julia looked at her with the eyes of a fool. "First, she has known my brother for a long time. Second, she does not need to rely on our family. It is our family that is eager to make friends with her. Finally, it is your own mind that is dusty, so you look down on others as filthy."

Julia's father was a military lord. She grew up in a strict military camp. At this moment, her solemnity exuded the majesty of a soldier. Lannis was shocked, but still insisted: "You are her friend, so it's natural for you to protect her. It's up to you. I just advise you not to let the wolf into the house."

"Your worries are unnecessary. I wish you a pleasant journey. I won't see you off." Julia responded calmly.

"Hmph!" Lannis walked out of the dormitory carrying her luggage, her back straight. This was her last bit of stubbornness.

After Lannis left, the atmosphere in the dormitory became heavy.

"Why did Niss become like this? She was not like this before." Lilia Frost couldn't believe it.

"Wasn't it before? Do you really understand her?" Lilia asked back.

"..."

Lilia Frost remained silent.

There are still two days before the finals. Seeing everyone’s tense nerves, the examination committee decided to organize a relaxation trip to ease the tense atmosphere.

Finally, everyone unanimously decided to go mountain climbing, and the destination was chosen as Mt. Myomine in the western suburbs of Kyoto, a mountain famous for its "ancient temples", "strange pine trees", "weird rocks" and "strange flowers".

Early in the morning, Chen Zhirun and mentors from various regional teams formed a temporary leadership team and led thirty students to Miaofeng Mountain.

Miaofeng Mountain is majestic with five peaks standing side by side and lush forests. The group began to climb from the foot of the mountain in a mighty procession.

The snowflakes of the past few days melted, and although it was chilly, everyone still broke into a sweat during the exercise.

“Why can’t I escape the fate of mountain climbing when participating in competitions?” Julia was helpless. The experience of accompanying her father in mountain climbing since childhood made her extremely tired of it. Miaofeng Mountain was too familiar to her.

But for most of the out-of-town students, the scenery here is extremely fresh. There are many kinds of flowers in Miaofeng Mountain, but it is a pity that it is midwinter and the flowering period has passed.

“You have to come around mid-June, when the scenery is the most beautiful. The roses in the vast rose garden are in full bloom, covering the mountains and fields, it is a breathtaking sight.” Julia told everyone.

Everyone felt deeply regretful. There were many ancient temples on the mountain. According to Julia, the most effective one was the one praying for children. Everyone jokingly said that they were praying for fame and fortune, and wondered if the gods would communicate with each other.

"Then we might as well worship our God Li." Shen Jinzhu rolled his eyes and everyone burst into laughter.

Miaofeng Mountain is about 1,300 meters above sea level. After climbing for about three hours, we successfully reached the top. Although we were exhausted and out of breath, we suddenly felt much more relaxed when we inhaled the fresh air on the top of the mountain...

After the mysterious journey to Miaofeng Mountain, everyone's nerves relaxed a little, but then, the fantastic final battle arrived as expected.

The finals are still divided into Trial One and Trial Two, but this year's rules have a magical color: there are only six mysterious questions in total, but they are completed over two days, with three questions per day. Each level lasts four and a half hours. The magic value of each question is as high as 21, and the total score is 126, symbolizing the pinnacle of wisdom.

Three national-level honors, gold, silver and bronze, were established. The top five would form the legendary dream team. Although most people would not dare to dream of entering the top five, as long as they won the honor of silver or above, they would almost certainly be protected by Huaqing College or Kyoto University. The rest would also receive preferential policies from top universities.

Everyone is ready to show their best. The two-day magic timed competition passed in a flash. No matter what the result is, the chess game of fate has been decided and no amount of struggle can change it.

The examiners eagerly began to evaluate the papers and held secret meetings to review the rankings and team selections, which would be announced publicly the next day if there were no objections.

Li Li's roommates went out to enjoy a sumptuous dinner, just like the day they first came to Huaqing, chatting and laughing until late at night. This was their last night in this magical land, and they couldn't help but feel sad.

"Master Li, you must come to the imperial capital to continue your studies." Zhou Rui said to Li Li, her tone full of anticipation.

Li Yanshuang chuckled: "With Li Li's ability, it's an honor for her to go anywhere that others crave."

"Having said that, if we are in China, Huaqing and Kyoto are undoubtedly the best choices. If I can't get preferential qualifications, a direct challenge may be quite risky." Zhou Rui said worriedly.

"Have confidence. I taught you this myself." Li Li didn't want to see her frustrated.

"Yeah!" Zhou Rui regained her faith. What she believed in was not herself, but her trust in Li Li.

The next morning, everyone packed their bags and headed to the grand auditorium to attend the award ceremony and closing ceremony.

First came the award ceremony. To everyone’s surprise, it was the legendary physicist Meng Huai who personally hosted and presented the awards.

Academician Meng, with his silver hair flowing, took the stage and told the history in a voice that had been honed over the years.

"My name is Meng Huai. Perhaps many people are familiar with my name and legend, but today I want to share my learning journey. Forty years ago, I entered Huaqing. The learning environment at that time was far from what it is today. I remember the rivers and streams...."

"Now, the glory has faded, but I still have a passion for science. I just hope you can do the same. I sincerely wish you all the best. Thank you."

Meng Huai's eyes were as clear as a child's, and he bowed deeply to the audience. People did not dare to neglect him and immediately stood up to return the greeting.

It is a national treasure that everyone looks up to.

Meng Huai stood up and his eyes met Li Li's. He blinked, and Li Li smiled, touching her eyes to hide the faint traces of tears.

What followed was the exciting award ceremony. Unsurprisingly, Li Li was the first to go on stage. Her unrivaled full score put her significantly ahead of everyone else and no one dared to question it.

She walked forward and bent her knees slightly. Meng Huai hung the golden medal around her neck with a smile on his face.

"Thank you."

"You are extremely outstanding, this is your honor."

The award ceremony was held in a tense and orderly atmosphere. There were five members in Guoyi, the default candidates for the dream team. In addition to Li Li, they were Li Yan, Feng Qinwei, Li Yanshuang, and the last one was Chu Hai...

On the mysterious continent, an atmosphere of mixed joy and anger permeated. Wen Ziyuan gritted his teeth, eager to deliver a thunderous blow to Neil who was laughing wildly.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Yu Feng, who was hailed as a genius, was only awarded the second-level honor. He shook his head frantically, unable to accept this miraculous reality.

Everyone who received the second-level honor was very satisfied, especially Zhou Rui, who jumped down from the podium, hugged Li Li tightly, and laughed like crazy. She imagined in her mind the surprised expressions of her family when they saw this honor, which was as beautiful as a dream.

Shen Jinzhu also won the second-level honor. Although she was a little disappointed, she was already satisfied. After all, this was only her first year of high school, and she would have a chance to compete again next year.

Three people from Lancheng First College participated in the competition, two of them won the first level and one won the second level. Such a brilliant achievement was like a legend, and even Lao Li did not dare to dream about it. He tried his best to suppress his smile, fearing that he would attract the fiery and jealous eyes of the other college instructors around him.

After the award ceremony, Xu Huaijing, president of Huaqing College, gave a summary speech on the magic competition. As his speech ended, the curtain of the magic competition slowly closed.
