"Mulin..."

It was like a long dream, sweet and crazy, the soul was almost drained, the body was as weak as if it was crushed, and just wanted to sleep forever.

"Mulin..."

Someone called her in the depths of consciousness, gently shaking her body to try to wake her up.

"Please spare me, Noyce..." The girl begged for mercy with her eyes closed, she wanted to sleep for a while longer.

"Mulin, wake up!" Nina's voice rose several degrees, pushing her hard to wake her up.

The moment she regained consciousness, Mulin stood up suddenly and took a breath of cold air.

More than 20 people in the class turned back to look at her, and some of them had a smile on their lips. Teacher Rowling of the magic theory class folded her arms and looked at her expressionlessly: "You answer, how many formulas are there in the magic circle of tracking?"

In the side room of the Sith Holy See Library, Mulin lay on the table, painfully drawing a full paper of magic circles. "I didn't expect that Priest Noyes, who usually looks cold and indifferent, actually has a strong demand." Nina had a strange smile on her face, and was writing something in her notebook.

No! It's not what you think! Mu Lin roared in her heart, but she swallowed the words back powerlessly when they came to her lips, and only let out a long sigh of exhaustion.

The midterm results came out, and she was at the bottom as expected. Except for a few theoretical courses that were slightly acceptable, the other subjects were terrible. It has been more than a month since she entered the Holy See. In addition to attending classes during the day, Mu Lin was dragged by Noyes to conduct inhumane special training at night, and every night she was exhausted. But no matter how hard she tried, her magic power did not improve at all.

The title of waste was confirmed. Mu Lin did not want to face those sarcastic or sympathetic eyes. Only in this library that no one cared about all year round could she feel a moment of peace.

"Alas..." She sighed for the fiftieth time today. "You put too much pressure on yourself." The useless No. 2 next to him was very open-minded about his grades.

Nina's magic power was also pitifully weak, but with her amazing memory and her fanatical love for books, she found a job in the Vatican Library. Together with her priest who managed the procurement of materials for the Vatican, she lived a comfortable life.

"I wish I had a good attitude like you." Mu Lin collapsed on the desk like a dead ashes, "Noyce must be very disappointed in me."

"Don't worry too much, some people will be late bloomers. Maybe when you really go to the battlefield, you will find your ability." Nina did not lie. Many witches burst out with strength far beyond their usual strength in actual combat. "Alicia, you know?"

Mu Lin nodded. The famous chief witch of the Sith Holy See, the servant of Bishop Timothy, is extremely powerful and is said to have never lost.

"Her grades in school were worse than yours. Thanks to her, we, the last-place students, are not bullied too badly. After all, there have been previous experiences. We should leave a way out for others, just in case another chief witch emerges."

It turned out that this legendary witch also had such a dark history. Mu Lin felt a little better. But she didn't dare to think about those chief witches. It was too illusory to hope for a miracle.

She continued to draw those complicated magic circles, although she had no magic power to use them. Witches fight mainly by merging with monsters. Few people are willing to study those boring magic circles and spells, which are what priests need. But she had no room for nitpicking. This was already one of the few pitiful scores she could get.

Noyce sat upright in a chair, with no expression on his calm face.

"That's probably the situation." Sister Theresa sorted out the transcript in her hand. "Except for the theory class, she can barely keep up. All the courses that require the use of magic are at the bottom, almost breaking the lowest score record left by Alicia. From all aspects, except for her strong self-healing ability, she is basically an ordinary girl, and she does not have the ability that a witch should have."

The silver-haired priest pondered in silence. He knew that Mu Lin's magic was weak, but he didn't expect it to be so weak. The special training during this period finally made him understand that there is indeed a gap in talent in this world.

Mu Lin's theory class is not bad. He spent more than a month to memorize the content of half a semester despite the late enrollment. It can't be said that he didn't work hard. But magic is not something that can be achieved by hard work.

"How did Alicia become stronger later?" He grabbed the last straw.

"She has been abnormally strong since the first day she became a witch." Theresa ruthlessly broke his fantasy, "Her poor grades are because she was disqualified from the exam due to long-term absences."

Noyce's face became even gloomier.

The nun looked at her distressed old friend with sympathy, and couldn't help but remind her: "Although no one dares to judge a witch by her academic performance easily because of the special case of Alicia. But you are a person that the Sith Holy See has high hopes for. If Mulin can't show the strength that matches you..." Theresa paused and lowered her voice a few points, "I'm afraid Bishop Timothy will not just sit there and watch."
