On the second day after returning, Hilia walked back into the classroom.
Her appearance instantly sparked gasps and hushed murmurs from her classmates.
All the students looked at Hilia with eyes full of awe.
"We just got into Tier Two, and Hilia's already representing the school in the Mage League and won the championship. That's insane!"
"She's so talented. Turns out, when we were in first year, that was when we had the smallest gap with her."
"If I had even half of Hilia's talent, getting into Tier Two wouldn't feel like dying."
"I heard Hilia received the God's blessing. I want God's blessing too."
"Yeah, right! God's blessing isn't something you just get. Do you have talent? Is your Divine Contract strong? Are you a girl? Are you pretty?"
"God cares about what's inside!"
"Her insides are stronger than yours, too."
"Shut up, bastard!"
"..."
The keen senses Hilia gained as a Tier Three Mage let her easily overhear all the whispered chatter.
God's blessing…
