Chapter 10: Magic Annual Exam!
"By the way, your final exams are just around the corner now, have you been studying?" Tang Yue asked Mo Fan as she remembered.
"..." Mo Fan didn't say anything and just averted his eyes...
To be honest he was confident with his practicals but with theory... He left it to fate.
"You... Don't tell me... You didn't study at all..." Tang Yue was exasperated.
A clever and genius boy like Mo Fan didn't study?
"It's not that I didn't study but it's more like, there's just too much useless stuff in the text book which I have to cram... Like, why do I have to learn the whole 3page theory about spiritual realm?" Mo Fan started giving excuses.
"Mr. Mo. Fan." Tang Yue's eyes suddenly turned dark from her usual beautiful Sakura colour...
She smiled but her smile didn't contained any warmth.
"... Why so Formal—"
"If you fail in any of the theory subjects.... Don't blame me for what happens next." She stared at Mo Fan. She spoke before he could finish his sentence.
Even if she admired the young man in front of her, but before being his friend she was his teacher. And as a teacher she needed to fulfil her job!
Mo Fan shivered a little when he saw this side of Tang Yue after a very loong~ time!
This was her strict teacher side, which she only showed him and not to anyone!
Which also meant she was serious!
"Where's my answer?" Tang Yue demanded.
"Yes!! Ma'am!!" Mo Fan stood up straight in an instant.
"Good Boy~ Let's go to the library then~" Tang Yue said in an extremely sweet way as she started walking.
"Eh? But it's almost 22pm, it should be closed—"
"Ah if it's that then don't worry, I'm a teacher~ so it's fine for me to come and go anywhere within the school at any time, and I guess it is somewhat my fault of why you didn't study at all..." Tang Yue said.
"That's why I'll take responsibility and make sure you will pass with flying colours~ Come on, from now it's a couple of sleepless nights for us~"
"Eh, wait I don't think that's a good ide—"
BOOM!!
A level three fire burst landed on a huge 10m tall tree within 0.5 seconds and it fell over...
"Were you saying something?" She asked again with an innocent smile.
"... No..." Mo Fan quietly followed behind her like a little chick following his mother.
...
...
Hot air flowed over the mountains, engulfing the south and exchanging the embrace of spring for the humidity of summer.
Following this came heavy rain, a good omen, destroying the leaves and leaving the flowers to wither!
Bo City was regarded as a city with many seasons; however, sometimes it could get exceedingly unruly.
Just this morning, the sun was fierce and illuminating. There was not a single cloud that could be seen for thousands of miles.
"Sigh..."
Mo Fan was sitting on the roof of his dorm building. Tang Yue was quite busy ever since his exams ended.
They rarely met each other now... she had load of work like, checking the theory papers for 1500 students and all...
Awu~
The Lightning Calamity fruit was on top of Mo Fan's head while the Snow Frost Star Wolf was sitting on Mo Fan's lap, it had grown a little bit from before.
Mo Fan was currently cultivating his Space Element. He was soon going to make a breakthrough to next tier.
He was cultivating summon element and space element side by side, "At this rate, i might breakthrough to the next tier in the next 15 days.." Mo Fan murmured.
Mo Fan was basically focusing on increasing his cultivation level as fast as possible, but Little Loach still in evolution process, his speed was a lot slower than he had imagined...
His space element finally showed signs of breaking through after almost 4 months. He needed to fight against monsters to increase his cultivation.
...
...
The annual practical examination had finally arrived, and for a lot of people, today was a nightmare. This was because there was a chance that they would be expelled from the school, and these people counted as the most tragic and most shameless who had to go back and meet their parents.
However, studying Magic was not a child's game. Every Magic High's system worked like this: if you were not suited to study Magic, then you would be expelled early, giving them another way so they wouldn't continue to waste their time in the borderless Magic sea.
To those students who had been doing their best in cultivating, today was the day they could show their results. Particularly for those students who could already use their skills!
The stormy days had already passed. The morning's weather was sunny, and the summer air was clear.
Within the Mu Manor…
Mu Bai specifically wore a white t-shirt with plum embroidery and ironed trousers. His entire being gave off a low profile feeling, not wanting to show off his family background.
With his handsome exterior and his low profiled outfit that didn't fail to show his elegance, he had already captured the affection of many girls.
However, with him being a legitimate member of the Mu Family, how could he fancy any of these common and vulgar women. His objective was a proud girl like Mu Ningxue… Of course, if Ms. Tangyue were willing to give in, he would be willing as well.
"Mu Bai, you have to show off today. You have to know that our Mu Family will distribute a few cultivation resources to some of the young disciples. The distribution is based on the contribution of their family and the cultivation grades of the young disciples. You have to work hard for this branch family of yours that has almost been forgotten by the Mu Family." Mu He personally sent Mu Bai to school in his black limousine this morning.
Mu He was the Supervisor of Tian Lan Magic High; he personally arranged the annual examination today.
No matter what, Mu Bai was still his nephew. Mu He hoped for Mu Bai to give him some face in front of the other Supervisors.
"Uncle, please don't worry!" Mu Bai said with the utmost confidence.
As he finished speaking, Mu Bai suddenly thought of something; he turned over and whispered, "Uncle, I heard that Mu Ningxue is also coming to Tian Lan Magic High today?"
"Yeah, today is a very important day for Tian Lan Magic High. It just happens that Mu Ningxue started her summer break early from the Empire Institution. I discussed with the Family Head and had her, the flag of Bo City, come to Tian Lan Magic High to give you guys a lecture, take a look at the annual examinations this year, and have her evaluate the quality of the students," Mu He said.
Seeing Mu Bai bursting with life, Mu He naturally knew what kind of ideas he had. He chuckled as he patted Mu Bai's shoulders, "Don't worry; when it's your turn, I will have her watch with the Family Head. When the Family Head sees you working so hard, he might even distribute more cultivation resources to our family. You know how few disciples we have in our Family, and the outstanding ones are rarer. If the Family Head notices you and you are given a Stardust Magic Tool for two or three months, you'll reap many benefits!"
"St-stardust Magic Tool?! Really!! I have a chance to use a Stardust Magic Tool?!!" Mu Bai's eyes radiated.
"Of course, do you know why we are different from commoner Mages? Superior genes? Family influence? No matter how good these are, they aren't better than a Stardust Magic Tool! If you can become a Core disciple within the family, you have a chance to receive a Stardust Magic Tool; your cultivation will definitely be far higher than your peers in school!" Mu He said.
"Uncle, I…I will definitely do my best to show off!"
Cultivation being far higher than the peers in school!
Mu Bai's blood began to boil up. No wonder why these disciples of the Family were frantically cultivating; it turns out it was for the Stardust Magic Tools.
Every Mage has a limited amount of time to cultivate. For students like these, five hours of meditation was their limit, and the remaining time was for studying theory and knowledge.
The Stardust Magic Tool was an item which every Magic cultivator yearns for the most.
Mu Bai didn't know the principle behind the Stardust Magic Tool; however, he did know the Stardust Magic Tool could help cultivators to recover their energy more quickly and cut down the amount of fatigue.
Normally, after spending 5 hours of meditation, they could only do other things in the remaining 19 hours.
They were weary from meditating during the 19 hours. They could only pass this time through doing other things or sleeping.
For a lot of students who wanted to advance, 19 hours of fatigue was too long; while at the same time, they couldn't do anything about it. When a person is putting their mind on a constant focus, they need to have an even longer period of relaxation. Otherwise, their mind would collapse.
Whereas the Stardust Magic Tool was a divine cultivation tool that was capable of cutting that fatigue time down.
With the meditation fatigue period cut down, that would mean the increase of the daily meditation time!
There may not be much of an effect with just a day or two. However, a month or two would make a small difference when it was compared to cultivators without a Stardust Magic Tool. If they were to practice with it for two or three months, then they would be in a completely different league compared to their peers.
The efficiency of meditation varies from people to people; there are fast and slow ones; so let's not think about that for now. However, even if the efficiency was exceedingly slow, one could still be in the lead with the help of the Stardust Magic Tool. People who did their best and had talent would only do half the work for twice the effect!
"Uncle, you mentioned the Elite Class students would have the opportunity to use the Stardust Magic Tool; is this true?" Mu Bai asked with a slight excitement.
"That's right; since this is a Magic school, naturally, there are also some few cultivation resources. However, the resources are very limited. There are so many students; thus, giving each student the chance to use it is not possible. Therefore, it's necessary to have the annual examination and the Elite class. This way the students of the Elite class will have an opportunity to use the Stardust Magic Tool for a period. It won't be a problem for you to enter the Elite class with your grades. When the time comes, I'll pull some strings from behind the scenes and let you use the school's Stardust Magic Tool for a little bit longer. For you, this is quite beneficial. The school is an equal place after all; it's not possible for me to do too much. What would truly allow you to soar to the sky is to use the Stardust Magic Tool from our Mu Family; that is something a common Mage will never be able to obtain in their lifetime. That's why you must treasure it," Mu He sincerely said to Mu Bai.
"Don't worry Uncle; I won't disappoint you."
"Saying that to me is useless; you need to prove yourself in front of Mu Ningxue and the Family Head!" Mu He patted Mu Bai's shoulders as he said this.
Mu Bai nodded seriously; his heart couldn't help but to give a cold laugh, _"Xu Zhaoting, so what if your cultivation is on par with mine. So what if you have the Lightning element. Behind me is the enormous Mu Family; you will never be able to contend against me!"_
"Oh right, how's the situation with that kid called Mo Fan?" Mu He inadvertently thought of this as if he thought of a beggar he didn't want to give money to. He asked without thinking, as though he had nothing to do.
"He's trash; he will definitely be expelled from the school," Mu Bai didn't need to cover up his despise for Mo Fan.
Mu Bai really loathed Mo Fan.
When everyone was young, they actually grew up in this area together. However, Mo Fan would always have a group of people following him; he was like the Monkey King. However, what Mu Bai didn't understand was the fact that the beautiful and fairy like Mu Ningxue was actually blindly mixing with them, and their relations were very intimate.
What did he count for? He was like a wild monkey, running around the block and mountain areas every day with a whiff of attitude; yet, his poverty was fully revealed.
Did he know what true power was, family status? Did he know what it was to be called laughably poor to the point where people would always look down on him?
The son of a servant is just low. Without seeing it, he just didn't know what vision was, what is called 'Ambition.' He just lived in his slum house, in that mud reeking street and took pleasure in working hard.
"Hmph, I'll sign him off. I'll have an explanation for Mo Jiaxing as well. It's not that I didn't help; it's just his idiot a son wasn't able to become a Mage, even when we gave him a chance to awaken. Sigh, people just aren't tactful; they just have to spend massive amounts of money to give it a try. The thing is, you are a loser, how can you hope for your son to be an Apex Tyrannosaurus? Being poor and useless is something that gets passed down through generations," Mu He slowly said as he took a drag off his cigarette.
At this moment, Mu He's eyes were half closed. He looked like a grand and graceful old fox; he even revealed his disdain and ridicule for poor people.
"But..." Mu Bai suddenly spoke as if he was in deep thought.
"But what?" Mu He asked.
"He recently beat up Zhao Kunsan and apparently traumatized him to the point where he won't even meet his gaze anymore much less insult or humiliate him..." Mu Bai said. This incident happened when he was not in class.
"He did what now?! That stupid pet of yours was traumatized by that beggar's son?!" Mu He was surprised to be honest! He looked at Mu Bai and asked him again.
He knew full well how Zhao Kunsan's temperament was, like a total gutter dog, who kept barking and barking non-stop!
"... He's changed a little ever since he came from Shanghai..." Mu Bai mumbled...
"Shanghai?! When did he went to Shanghai?" Mu He was startled!
He didn't know what had happened as he didn't care about Mo Fan at all, plus he was a little busy for the past few months.
"Ah... Right, you don't know... It's because..."
...
...
In the student dorms…
"Brother Fan, we should go; it's the annual examination. It'd be bad if we're late," Zhang Xiaohou urged Mo Fan
"You go first; I'll practice for a bit longer," Mo Fan replied.
"Making a last-minute effort, huh?"
The few people in the dorm didn't wait for Mo Fan; they posed as they went to the examination.
Mo Fan finally made a breakthrough to tier 2 of Space Element yesterday! His mental strength also increased a little and was now at Lv 1.4!
He was consolidating his space element's foundation since yesterday!
"Okay! It seems stable now, Phew~" Mo Fan sighed in relief.
He was a little happy since he had levelled up ahead of schedule!
His Space and Summon Element were at Tier 2 and Fire and Lightning Element were at Tier 1 of the Basic Level!
Plus he had a summoned beast who was now a peak Servant Class monster! Plus His Fire and Lightning Element had 2.5× God's Blessing innate base buff to them!
Mo Fan was now confident that he can hunt down Servant class Monsters with ease! Also as a former Magic God his control over stars was so fluent that he could cast spells at the speed of a mini-gun!
No Creature could ever survive magic spells hitting them continuously at that speed!
He will go to the Hunter's Union after the exam today!
...
Mo Fan was the last to arrive at the training grounds. On normal days, everyone would be here to attend their Practical classes, but today, it was clear the grounds were set up differently. Other than the examiners' table that was placed in a half arc, there was also a floating Star Appraisal Stone.
The Star Appraisal Stone looked a little similar to a black cobblestone the size of a watermelon. At the moment, it was placed in the very front of the training grounds with the help of a stone pillar.
The Star Appraisal Stone was the most important apparatus for the examination for the students.
The annual examination was really simple, just like the Opening Ceremony's Awakening. The students only needed to place their hands on this massive Star Appraisal Stone, and the examiners would be able to determine the students' cultivation from the past year from the light emitted by the Star Appraisal Stone.
It was like high school exams; a paper might determine the students' fate. This world also had the same quota; either you continued studying and obtained a good opportunity in life, or you packed your things up and found a different path.
"Remember what I've told you before; the radiance intensity from the stardust represents the power of the magic capabilities within the stardust. Students of the eighth class, the time for you to showcase the efforts of this year has come; release the lights of your stardust!" the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng's face was filled with passion.
"Mr. Xue, I'm sorry; I may be expelled from the school," A seemingly weak girl said with her face filled with tears. Her nervous and worried little appearance attracted the pity from the surrounding classmates.
"How could that be? You've always done your best. Don't be so pessimistic."
"But I'm stupid. Even if I were to do my best in cultivating every day, my stardust still seems so weak," The girl named Zuo Heyu said.
"Hey, don't be afraid; even if you don't meet the requirement, there's still me. As long as there's a Mage in the family then we'll be fine," the dorm head of Mo Fan's dorm, Lu Jianhua, patted his chest as he spoke to Heyu.
"Stop talking crap; you don't even know if you'll get kicked out yourself!"
"Are you joking? Wait till this daddy places my hands on it; the radiance will blind your titanium alloyed dog eyes!" Lu Jianhua said with pride and arrogance.
Soon enough, three examiners from the school finally arrived at the grounds.
The examiners were disciplinary teachers; the students were normally really scared of them.
"Alright, silence! The annual examination will be observed by a few school supervisors this time; we hope you will display the essence of a Mage today!" Xue Musheng reminded the students.
The examiners were to assess the thirty classes of freshmen. The 1500 people who wore the uniform of Tian Lan Magic High gave off a certain aura; it was a magnificent sight as they stood on the training grounds. They were arranged like blocks.
Before the assessment, naturally, the principal gave a speech. It was like this every year.
Following this, it was the school supervisors' turn to express themselves.
When Mu He stepped onto the platform and was passionately painting the beautiful picture of a Mage's future for the students, Mo Fan secretively used telekinesis and the paint can kept on the frame stand, suddenly spilled onto the white background, completely painting it black...
It looked as if he accidentally pushed the frame and dropped the Black paint on the painting.
Mu He was surprised as to what had happened! He was definitely sure that he didn't even touch the Black paint or the frame yet!
But he was also more embarrassed considering his painting attempt failed miserably. He was also in front of other directors, teachers and principal of the school.
"Hey! Is our future supposed to be dark? Is that what you're implying by this painting?!" A voice suddenly echoed from the crowd of students!
Mu He immediately looked at the direction the voice came from in anger and frustration, but didn't find the person who said such words.
A wave of laughter emerged among the students as they started snidely passing remarks. The teachers tried to quite down the students but only 15-20 teachers couldn't possibly calm down all 1500 students now can they?
Mo Fan loathed Mu He, for what he had done to the Bo City and Ancient Capital! He will do everything he can humiliate and slaughter him in the worst possible way!
Mu He's face was flushed red with anger and embarrassment! He was never in his life ever humiliated like this by mere students.
"Everyone please be quite as you all know, but today is an extremely special day for us." Principal Zhu's voice suddenly echoed around the ground!
He saw what had happened but didn't interfere as he himself hated this Mu He who was the reason why they were not getting any new resources from the Shanghai Education Union Minister!
The students respected their principal and immediately quietened down. Principal Zhu smirked a little and continued!
"That is because we have invited the most distinguished Maga of the Bo City. When she was 14 years old, the Empire Magic Institute made an exception and recruited her. I'm sure many of you have already heard of her legacy… That's right; she is Mu Ningxue! Please, let us all warmly welcome her, who should be the same year as you but is a Magic Genius who has already been promoted to university!"
As this was said, the entire thousand or so students suddenly caused an uproar.
"Heavens, it's Mu Ningxue! I heard when she awakened the Ice Element, the power from it directly caused the grounds to freeze into ice blocks."
"Those are just rumours; I hold the most accurate info. I heard she only needed six months to learn the basic spell of Ice element, Ice spread."
"Si-Six months?! Heavens, I've already been in school for a year, and I have only been able to control five stars! How can the differences between people be so big?!"
"These aren't even the important points, alright… the most important point is, she's also a beauty! She's good looking and talented; she's the pride of Bo City!"
In just a moment, the students of the school began to discuss this. From everyone's reaction, one could tell they were not unfamiliar with Mu Ningxue.
They never imagined on the annual examination today; they would meet the legendary Magic Genius!
"Brother Fan, brother Fan, it's Little Princess; it really is her! She actually came to our school." Zhang Xiaohou was so excited he began to pull the sleeves of Mo Fan next to him.
"Ah, yes, I got it already... Give it a rest will you?" Mo Fan was exasperated seeing his buddy jump around like an actual monkey at the sight of his wife... Ex-wife...
Mo Fan raised his head and gazed toward the platform. He had already noticed her presence as soon as he arrived.
A beautiful figure quietly standing there like a proud white rose in the snow. The snow white, skin-tight dress caused her impressive body disposition to appear increasingly more detailed.
What really attracted the people's attention wasn't the girl's fascinating body that emitted a sexual charm, but the stunning and long, peerless cyan hair.
Although the weather was warm and dry, the girl standing proudly on the platform was as like a Ice Spirit who wandered through the snow mountain before stepping onto the secular world. She was undoubtedly beautiful!
As the students and teachers saw this girl step up; they were all silently shocked.
They've heard stories of Mu Ningxue many times, but they had never seen her before. Who would've thought her entire being was an ice fairy in a girl form, whether it was her temperament, attire or her inherent graceful, cyan, long hair.
This is Mu Ningxue?
Even her bones were emitting a noble pride.
"She looks so young." Mo Fan said as he looked at her! The feelings of wanting to tear her clothes apart arose in Mo Fan as he looked at her excitedly!
But soon he frowned! If this was the Mu Ningxue who was his wife, she wouldn't have said anything and accepted all his desires, but now... He had to conquer her all over again...
To be honest, Mu Ningxue was a pain in the butt type of Woman when it came to her stubborn personality of not wanting to give in...
Sigh...
He can't believe he will have to wait for 6 more years before he can take her to bed...
"Also it seems, that she already possess the Ice Crystal Bow! Now this is a bit of a problem..." Mo Fan mumbled while scanning her.
She was already an Intermediate Mage, but considering the time she awakened, it was normal.
"That bow... Is going to eat her Ice cultivation and put her in endless torture unless it is continuously nourished by Ice Element... If she stays in this type of environment, then she will just go through a repeat of what had happened before..."
"She needs to go to an area which is filled with Ice Element..." Mo Fan said as he expressed pity for her...
"Brother Fan, you should've eloped with Little Princess back then….." Zhang Xiaohou looked at the manifestly superior Mu Ningxue as he exclaimed this.
"Did you hit the toilet door so hard you became stupid?"
"Eh, I said that without thinking it through."
...
"My Dear Students, teachers and Faculty members. It is an honour for me to stand here and say a few words..." Mu Ningxue was saying her speech.
Everyone were intently listening to her. They were in awe of the girl...
Mo Fan didn't concentrated on her speech, he was feeling pretty bored. He just wanted to wrap this up and hurry on back to training.
Mu Ningxue's speech was very short and sweet. Mo Fan didn't understand what the guys were so excited about. They spoke as though they really could get into the Imperial Institute of Magic.
Imperial Institute of Magic was naturally the best Magic University within the country. For a city like Bo City, every person who entered it would already be extraordinary.
With the recruitment rate so low, it showed how special and how outstanding Mu Ningxue was. She was recruited into the Institution without even experiencing Magic High School.
"Brother Fan, do your best in the next two years and enter Empire. After entering Imperial Institute of Magic, even if Mu Family's arms are long, they most likely can't reach there. By then… hehehe…" Zhang Xiaohou chuckled.
By now Zhao Kunsan's humiliating remarks would've arrived, but right now he wouldn't even dare to look at Mo Fan in the eye level.
He was standing a few feet ahead of Mo Fan, his back was hunched and he had lost all his confidence!
He looked terrified every time he looked at Mo Fan.
"Nah.. I'm going to the Pearl Institute in Shanghai." Mo Fan replied to Zhang Xiaohou.
"Besides why do you even think I'm afraid of Mu Family? Mu Ningxue is mine and will always stay mine. Her heart is already mine after all." Mo Fan proudly declared.
Everyone in the surroundings suddenly stared at Mo Fan as if he has gone mental.
Mo Fan shrugged.
"I don't know where you get your confidence from but okay. I hope you're successful" Zhang Xiaohou felt awkward at Mo Fan's condescending and cringe reply.
He quite down and focused on the stage.
When Mu Bai heard Mo Fan's words he almost spat out blood! His blood boiled when he heard Mu Ningxue's heart being his.
_I swear to God! I will definitely humiliate him in such a way he will never be able to lift his head again!_ Mu Bai thought in anger.
In the past, Mo Fan had held Mu Bai on the ground as he fiercely beat him up in front of Mu Ningxue. Since then and for the rest of his life, Mu Bai would be unable to raise his head in front of Mu Ningxue; even now, he still felt ashamed.
Today, he, Mu Bai, planned on letting Mo Fan suffer even worse.
Being expelled in front of the entire school and Mu Ningxue… In this society where Magic was the ultimate authority was reason enough for Mo Fan to be ridiculed and looked down upon by Mu Ningxue. When he return to his father, Mo Jiaxing, how is he going to explain this to his father who sold their house just so he could enter Magic High, when he returned?
Unqualified students being expelled during the annual examination was a very common matter.
Being expelled wasn't something announced to the entire school. The school wasn't likely to be that unkind.
However, there was one exception where the school would directly announce the expulsion. That would be when the Mage's stardust hadn't shown any progress at all!
Under normal circumstances, after the students had awakened their stardust, they would properly cultivate it every day. Even the more clumsy people would slowly make their stardust glow, and develop their magic capabilities unless the student was too lazy to do so!
In order to punish this type of student, who wasted the awakening resources and magic books, and to help make the other school students understand that cultivation was not a child's game where you could waste your time, the school would publicly announce the expulsion of a student whose cultivation was far too low.
This kind of public announcement might not happen every year, and it was set up to encourage the students who took the back door to enter the school.
During the end of the previous semester, the entire class conducted a rough examination. At that time, Mo Fan's cultivation was practically at zero. Xue Musheng almost made a public slandering of Mo Fan in a fit of fury.
Now, the 2nd semester had ended, while also entering the most important annual examination.
If things went according to the calculations, then Mo Fan's cultivation would be very likely approach the line of public expulsion.
Naturally, to prevent a miscalculation, Mu Bai and his uncle, Mu He, had also prepared a big present for Mo Fan.
This big present was enough to put Mo Fan out of bounds, giving him the honor of receiving the punishment the school hadn't given for three years.
The most fortunate thing was that Mu Ningxue and Mu Zhuoyun would also be present to view this scene!
Mu Bai felt much happier just thinking about it.
Today was the day to show himself off, and from that day on, soar through the sky with high status. It was also the day for that cheap Mo Fan to be humiliated. _How great, how great!_
...
...
"The Annual Examination will now officially begin!"
All of the thirty classes in the school began simultaneously.
The process of the test was actually very simple. You just had to place your hand on the Star Appraisal Stone while everyone, including the examiners, watched. Then, you concentrated to enter a meditative state, and at that time, the Star Appraisal Stone would emit the same radiance as the examinee's stardust. They would then assess the level of the cultivation based on the radiance.
Every student had three attempts.
The final result was based on the attempt with the brightest radiance.
Naturally, the more the student concentrated on it, the more the Star Appraisal Stone would accurately display the radiance of the student's stardust.
The order of the examinee's was random. The first examinee naturally happened to be that weeping beauty, classmate He Yu, who was already standing at the front.
The girl was still that timid; she was still extremely shy as she walked to the front of the Star Appraisal Stone under everyone's gaze. She looked as though she was scared of being expelled.
"You may begin," the bald examiner said.
"Good luck He Yu! Your teacher and your fellow classmates believe in you," Xue Musheng said.
"Don't worry if you don't do well; I will take care of you," the nut-job of a dorm head, Jian Hua said.
He Yu was feeling shy as she closed her eyes; she then placed her small hands on the massive Star Appraisal Stone.
The entire class suddenly turned silent. Their eyes were attentively watching the girl who was taking the first test, and it seemed as though they were more nervous than the examinee.
_If I remember clearly... She's the girl who died while protecting Zhang Xiaohou during Bo City' calamity... Also the reason why he stayed single the rest of his life..._
Zhang Xiaohou was dedicated to this girl even after her death! He had a few encounters with quite a few beauties but he never made a move on them. It was quite a commendable behaviour to be honest.
Mo Fan felt a change in He Yu's temperament after she began her test. Her expression turned serious; although she was nervous, she wasn't frenetic.
Bzzt~
A flash of blue bolt suddenly passed through He Yu's hand and the appraisal stone!
Mo Fan was shocked! His eyes went wide!
_This girl's water element has an innate effect! That too a very strong one!_
The black Star Appraisal Stone gradually emitted some radiance from within. In the beginning, it looked like the early sunrise. Following He Yu's intense focus, the radiance gradually spread around the Star Appraisal Stone, causing the radiance to fill the surroundings.
"A+!"
"A+!"
"A+!"
In this moment, the three examinee's practically announced the results simultaneously.
"Classmate, it's done. Your final result is an A+!" the bald examiner said without an expression on his face.
He Yu opened her eyes; she looked as though she was unable to believe it, before she excitedly said, "Re-really? I got an A+?"
Although the scene of a girl happily yelling out she got an A was strange, they had no choice to admit that He Yu's final results gave everyone a surprise.
"I… freaking hell. A+?! That's the standard for entering the Elite Class!"
"I'm speechless. Before the test, she was sitting there wailing endlessly. We really thought she was drifting on the borderline of being expelled, but as the final results came out, she freaking got an A+!"
"Magic B*tch; what a typical magic studying b*tch. I'll never believe her again."
After the results came out, Mo Fan's dorm head, classmate Jianhua, was completely flabbergasted.
_Raise her, my ass. It'd be really good if he would be able to get a B. He's just blindly worrying about someone who got an A+._
The homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng's expression was stiff. He was deceived by the female student who acted all cute. However, having the first one to take the test and get an A+ made Xue Musheng feel happy overall.
All the grades will be summed up, and after that, the thirty classes will compare the average grades. Xue Musheng felt like his own class had the potential to reach the top three.
The biggest competition was the class next door, class 7. With that Lightning Element kid, Xu Zhaoting, who knew how much of a difference there would be between the classes? However, what he wished for was the most outstanding student in his class, Mu Bai, to not be inferior to Xu Zhaoting in any respect.
"Next one, do you want to partake the test?" the bald examiner said, as he looked at He Yu.
He Yu shook her head in haste as she said, "I've just completed my Stardust, but yet to cast my spell, so I'll pass."
"Alright. We'll use the evaluation from your other teachers to decide which class you'll be placed in," the bald examiner said.
"Thank you, teacher."
He Yu walked out, happily. Originally, she wanted to share this joy with the friends next to her, however, she realized the friends were all a meter away from her. She was puzzled by this.
She didn't do anything wrong; her grades were pretty good, right?
Mo Fan looked at her and smiled. He looked as if he got the perfect toy to play around with.
"Next, Zhang Xiaohou," the examiner announced the name.
Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't think it would be his turn so soon.
"Brother Fan, I'm going," Zhang Xiaohou said to Mo Fan.
"Mhm, do your best, stay calm and don't focus on the crowd." Mo Fan replied.
"Mhm!"
...
Zhang Xiaohou glanced at Xu Musheng, and then took one glance at the Practical Teacher, Tangyue.
"Do your best, teacher believes in you." The one who said this was the Practical teacher, Tangyue.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded as he walked to the side of the Star Appraisal Stone.
Closing his eyes, Zhang Xiaohou adjusted his breathing and slowly entered a meditative state.
The radiance emitted from the Star Appraisal Stone flickered; it followed Zhang Xiaohou's breath as it brightened and dimmed. It was easy to tell that Zhang Xiaohou was slightly nervous, which explained why the Star Appraisal Stone was unable to grasp the energy from his stardust.
However, Zhang Xiaohou slowly entered the meditative state.
At last, the radiance stabilized. The greyish green coloured radiance from the Wind Element covered the surroundings of the Star Appraisal Stone, and the radiance was not superior to He Yu's. Other than being a bit unstable, there was no other fuss about it.
"A!"
"A!"
"A+!"
The three examiners seemed to have different views regarding it.
"Teacher, let me try one more time."
Zhang Xiaohou didn't seem pleased with this result; thus, he once more entered a meditative state.
This time, he was considerably calmer.
The intense radiance covered the Star Appraisal Stone's surroundings; it was now apparent that it was much stronger than He Yu's. Additionally, there didn't appear to be any unstable flickering from it anymore.
The three examiners glanced at each other and nodded.
"A+"
"A+"
"A+"
"Final results, A+!"
After they announced the results, the students of his class all showed shock and envy.
"Crap, A+ again?! That's a grade that secures your place in the Elite Class! This kid, Zhang Xiaohou's lifestyle, is just mediocre, so who would've thought that his cultivation would be so amazing? We were mistaken; we really were mistaken."
"That's really amazing! If I could get A+, then my dad would immediately gift me a car!"
Xue Musheng and Tangyue, the two teachers, gave a slight smile as they nodded their heads. Their eyes were filled with praise.
Zhang Xiaohou had always been an outstanding student to them, thus, having this kind of result was well within reason.
"Classmate, you're done. We will assess accordingly…" the bald examiner was about to announce the final result.
"Teacher, I'd like to attempt the next test," at this moment, Zhang Xiaohou's expression was firm, but his face showed a shyness as he said this.
"Are you sure?" the examiner asked, a bit surprised.
"I know that the higher you place in the rankings during the Annual Examination, then the longer you will get to use the Stardust Magic Tool. Thus, I'd like to take the Activation test," Zhang Xiaohou said with certainty.
Xue Musheng and Tangyue maintained the smiles on their faces. They already knew that Zhang Xiaohou had reached the level of Activation.
The examination consisted of two parts.
The first part was the Stardust test.
The majority of the students only needed to complete this part to continue to study magic at Magic High.
While the second part was set up for the top students, out of over one thousand students, there were roughly only a hundred or so who had touched upon the level of Activation.
If one can activate the elemental skill during the examination, then naturally they would be awarded more points for the Annual Examination.
To obtain more of the limited resources from the school, the students would have to display all of their powers during the Annual Examination, without hiding anything.
…
Zhang Xiaohou closed his eyes and began to enter the activation state.
His process of connecting the stars was extremely slow!
He was really slow; it was clear that he wasn't very good at controlling the stars.
He maintained the rhythm of his breathing, and the breathing was audible.
Whooosh~
After 4 minutes he connected all the 7 stars and finished his Stardust orbit!
Suddenly, the pages on the judge table began to move. The water in the bottle began to vibrate
The dust on the ground began to rise, and swirled the fallen leaves into the air.
"Wind Trail!"
"Gale Sprint!!"
Zhang Xiaohou's entire temperament changed; an Azure colour emerged within his eyes as his lapel began to brandish.
Along with his incantations, the pebbles, cups, and flag were clattering about. They were all moving according to the trail.
The judges quickly composed themselves to watch this scene. From these pieces of leaves and the swirling dust, they surprisingly discovered an unusual air stream in the practical ground. This stream of air originated from Zhang Xiahou's location; it spread all the way from the start point to the other side of the run way course.
Swoosh!!
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohou's figure disappeared.
The former unmoving Zhang Xiaohou standing in the start point became blur, the speed was as fast as a whirlwind as he frantically charged out and followed the indiscernible Wind Track in the air that went toward the end point of the run way.
"That's awesome!!" Lu Xiaobing yelled out.
The class of students on the ground immediately squeezed themselves to see Zhang Xiaohou's magic.
He Yu in particular who was standing in front of everyone was enchanted with Zhang Xiaohou's figure!
It was as if she was dumbstruck! She couldn't believe her eyes a person who looked like a monkey would become this handsome when he casted his spell!
Her face was hot!
Zhang Xiaohou went from beside her in a swoosh dishevelling her hair and uniform in the process because of the wind pressure!
He was very fast.
Too fast!
Any 100-meter sprinter's speed would be pathetic compared to this movement!
Everyone felt a ripple in their heart, especially the wind element students. The Wind Element's primary skill was also really cool; the feeling of stepping onto the Wind Track must be amazing.
"Help, help!" Zhang Xiaohou called out.
Zhang Xiaohou wasn't able to stop at the finish line and ran all the way to the sign board kept to motivate the students
Peng!!!
The Signboard broke apart as Zhang Xiaohou broke through it.
People began to laugh at him.
The Wind Track finally dissipated. Zhang Xiaohou was laying on the ground with his nose bleeding.
This appearance was already pretty miserable.
The Wind Element's spell seems good. The movement speed was not any slower than that of a car at 80kmph. It's just Zhang Xiaohou hasn't met the standards; thus, he didn't know how to pull over and stop.
The examiners were able to see that this student was capable of Activation, but due to being too inexperienced he was unable to cast the spell properly. However, they still gave him some points based on his performance.
"C !"
"C !"
"C !"
"Final Results, C!"
Feeling somewhat disappointed after being a laughing stock and only getting a C at magic casting, Zhang Xiaohou walked out of the testing ground with his head low.
Ms. Tangyue was like a tender older sister when she patted Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder, "Don't feel discouraged. You will definitely be able to enter the Elite Class with your grades."
"Teacher, I thought I was proficient in 'Control,' but who would've thought that a little nervousness would cause the time I spent practicing 'Control' to disappear mysteriously, making me start from the beginning. Teacher, how are you able to accomplish the magic activation so easily?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"Naturally it's from practicing. Other than that, the state of your heart is also crucial. Not only does a qualified Mage need to have a solid foundation, but they also need to have a mentality that won't waver if they encounter trouble."
Zhang Xiaohou nodded as he seemed to understand this.
"Next, Huang Feifeng."
"B!"
"Teacher, I should receive an A! I should be given an A!!!"
"If you make more noise, we'll cancel your results."
"Next, Luo Si."
"C!"
The student called Luo Si jumped for joy.
For a failure of a student like him, receiving C was like New Years.
…
The students of eight class were receiving their examinations, one by one. The majority of the students were B and C; there didn't seem to be many A's.
"Look, the people of the school council are almost here."
"They are at the seventh class' exam grounds… The one taking the test is that Lightning Element guy."
"Xu Zhaoting, that is firmly the number one guy in the entire school."
"That's not certain. I heard Mu Bai's cultivation is also very high!"
As Mo Fan heard his classmates' discussion, his gaze turned toward the seventh class exam grounds.
Sure enough, the School Council group included the particularly outstanding Mu Ningxue, who had already walked to the vicinity.
…
"Old brother Mu Zhuoyun, this is our school's most outstanding Lightning Element student; his name is Xu Zhaoting. When he awakened his Lightning Element a year ago, I, as the Principal, began to pay close attention to him. He's currently doing the Activation test; care to watch?" the Principal of Tian Lan Magic High said to Mu Zhuoyun.
The Principal was very polite toward Mu Zhuoyun; thus, it was obvious that Mu Zhuoyun's status within Bo City was very high.
"Ningxue, why don't you take a look at this student's performance."
"Mhm," Mu Ningxue nodded.
Lightning element, the first of the elements. Its violent, destructive force was enough to make other Mages take several steps back.
Within the examination grounds, Xu Zhaoting, who wore the school uniform, was already there. He adjusted his breathing, as well as trying to make peace with the pressuring gazes coming from the students and teachers of the entire school.
Ever since he had entered the school, he had become the focal point for them. These gazes were incessantly urging him to cultivate.
"Heed my command!"
"The first of the Elements, Lightning!"
"Strike of Lightning!"
As the sounds faded, he raised a hand.
The purple Lightning Arc surged; it was as though the Serpent King called out to the violent python soldier. They slithered their shocking body, twirling through the atmosphere and burning everything they touched.
"Activate!"
The Electric Arc violently descended upon the human-shaped puppet.
The puppet violently trembled. It was charred from the drop of the violent Lightning Strike. The electricity crackled around; covering it with whip prints. The human-shaped puppet exploded with no remains in a single moment by the force of the Lightning.
On the floor of the Training grounds, there were strips of black marks. It looked extremely terrifying.
The puppet had already turned into a pile of black dust.
The heaven-defying Lightning element spell immediately stole the attention of the entire exam grounds, causing the Elite students who were also able to activate skills to take a deep breath.
_Holy cow, who cares about Wind Trail? Who cares about Water Barrier? What Fire Burst? They are all weak. The tyrannical power of the Lightning Strike was not something the other Elements could compare themselves to. It directly caused the puppet to explode into dregs. This destructive power…
Whoever was standing there would die instantly!
...
"Uwaaah... So cringey!!" Mo Fan exclaimed as he rubbed the sides of his arms in a disgusted way...
He couldn't believe that guy was a chuuni and one who would say such cringey chants out in the open!
_Scary... That guy's scary! Better not get involved with him in the future..._ Mo Fan decided as he turned away.
...
After Xu Zhaoting saw this result, his face revealed satisfaction.
As he turned around, he, who was waiting for the examiners to deliver his results, suddenly noticed a pair of beautiful blue eyes.
It was Mu Ningxue!
Xu Zhaoting's face was filled with pleasant surprise.
He didn't think his examination would catch Mu Ningxue's attention.
She was definitely startled; after all, the power of Lightning element wasn't something any other element could compare to.
...
"Ningxue, what do you think?" The school supervisor, Mu He, asked with a smile across his face.
"Average," Mu Ningxue didn't take another look and chose to continue advancing forward.
The Principal and the other few people in the school council became stiff.
No way, a Lightning element this strong and she still thought it was normal? Just how high were this girl's standards?
"Hehe, that's actually not bad. Ningxue is in Imperial Institution; all of the geniuses in the country gather there. The activation of the Basic Spell, Lightning Strike, is the most basic skill there. The reason as to why she thinks its average is because she has a habit of using the standards of Institution to assess," Mu Zhuoyun smiled as he explained this, giving the Principal and the group of people in the school council a way out of this awkward situation.
"If you put it like that, does that mean our Xu Zhaoting has potential with the students to enter imperial Institute?" The Principal was also someone who understood how to deal with situations; he took advantage and asked this.
The other people immediately copied what he said.
"If things go well, then Xu Zhaoting's grades will be the best in the entire school, right?" School director, Chen Guangliang said.
"That's hard to say. From what I know, Mu Bai from the eighth class is also quite capable." Vice-Principal replied.
Hearing them saying this, a smile emerged on Mu He's face as he immediately spoke to Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue, "Older brother, Mu Bai is a disciple from our Mu Family; his grades have always been quite remarkable. From how I see it, it should be his turn soon; should we go and watch?"
"Mu Bai? Which family's?"
"He's Mu Yang's son. When Mu Yang passed away, I saw Mu Bai and his mother being bullied by others somewhere; thus, I brought them to live in the manor. Mu Bai is a very intelligent and determined child; he's no worse than the other kids of our family… Oh, there's naturally a huge gap compared to Mu Ningxue, but he's still a seedling worth raising," Mu He cautiously said to Mu Zhuoyun.
The highest authority over the manor was completely within Mu Zhuoyun's hands. Mu He counted as a Lord, as well; however, he was just a third or fourth degree Lord. That was simply not on par with Mu Zhuoyun.
"Oh, that slightly rings a bell. Then let's go and have a look; how about it, school directors?" Mu Zhuoyun asked.
The school director with the split hair that was gradually losing its colour said "Since it is a disciple of your Mu Family, we are definitely interested."
The group of people began to walk, slowly making their way to the exam grounds of the eight class.
The aura of this group of people was very strong. In the eyes of the students, the directors may be a faintly discernible existence; however, Mu Ningxue, a genius of the same age as them was something incredible.
On the grounds, the male students saw the girl observing from the side.
"Heavens, the group of directors is coming here."
"They really came; my hands are trembling."
"Good timing; just in time for me to show off."
"Show off my ass; your test is already over. You're just a dreg with a 'C!'"
The students of the eight class were unable to calm themselves.
Every student's fate depended on the Annual Examination. While at the same time, the group of school directors who could change their future with just a single, praising glance were coming over. This caused the examination to have an exceedingly heavy atmosphere.
Mu He was walking to the very front. The bald examiner immediately raised his head and glanced at Mu He.
As Mu He hinted to him, the bald examiner immediately understood what he meant. He first pretended to not see anything before he indifferently said, "Next, Mu Bai!"
Mu Bai's eyes were still placed on Mu Ningxue's body. Even though the two lived in the same castle, it was still so big that Mu Bai has only been this close to Mu Ningxue just a few times before.
"Mu Bai, it's your turn." Mu He coughed to remind Mu Bai.
Only then did Mu Bai come back to his senses.
What could he do? He liked her for far too many years. Even if it were rather impossible for him to walk with her, he still wouldn't let that fucking trash, Mo Fan, take her away. He would be her bodyguard!
It was time to prove the efforts of the past years!
Mu Bai nodded before he began walking toward the exam grounds.
He had been waiting for this for a long time. Mu Bai took a deep breath.
To have the attention of the family and Mu Ningxue, these were things Mu Bai could only dream of, and today was the day where the both would come true.
As he placed his hand on the Star Appraisal Stone, Mu Bai repressed his excitement within his heart as much as possible.
In this aspect, Mu Bai had actually practiced for a long time. Even if he felt more excited and nervous than anyone, he relied on his past training to complete a proper and stable meditation.
A white and dense, icy wave quickly spread out from the Star Appraisal Stone and covered the surroundings.
This ice wave was so strong; it overflowed from the Star Appraisal Stone and made even Mu Bai feel its cold on his face.
All of the teachers and students watched this scene, entranced.
The radiance was overflowing. This was perhaps the first time they have seen something like this happen during an exam. Even Zhoumin, who received an A+, was quite inferior to the overflowing radiance of Mu Bai!
"S!"
"S!"
"S!"
The three examiners immediately announced their grades, and all of them were 'S's!'
"I remember Xu Zhaoting from before had two 'S' and an 'A,' right?"
"In that case, Mu Bai's stardust is more superior than Xu Zhaoting!" Mu He immediately said.
At this moment, Xue Musheng was astonished by this sight. This Mu Bai had hidden his true power?
"As expected of the disciple of a noble family. I thought Mu Bai would only get one 'S' at most, who would've thought that he would receive three 'S's!' "
"Three 'S's,' the final result is naturally 'S's!'"
These were without a doubt the best grades in the school!
"Shit, Mu Bai is too amazing. He unexpectedly received three 'S's.' These grades directly shake Xu Zhaoting from class seven off; thus, Mu Bai will be worthy of the title 'Number One.'"
"I never imagined…"
"Mu Bai, you're far too amazing!"
A few girls, at this moment, had already become completely infatuated with him.
Mu Bai was handsome, and his grades were outstanding. He was simply the Knight on the white horse in their hearts.
"Big brother, what do you think?" Mu He laughed as he asked Mu Zhuoyun to his side.
"Not bad," Mu Zhuoyun gave a brief comment.
Mu Ningxue, however, didn't say anything.
Seeing Mu Ningxue not react, Mu Bai knew that getting three 'S's,' in Mu Ningxue's opinion, was nothing impressive. This was the Activation test; it was also the time for him to show off his true strength!
Mu Bai turned around and walked to the middle of the exam grounds.
"Mu Bai is taking the Activation test!"
"No shit, Mu Bai has definitely grasped the control of seven stars."
"I can't wait to see the skill of Ice element."
As they were discussing this, Mu Bai had already fixated his gaze onto the human-shaped puppet.
That's right; the Stardust test was only the basics. The people who had a brain were very clear on the fact that the Activation test was the true assessment test.
I will definitely have Family Head and Mu Ningxue take notice of me!
He closed his eyes and began his magic incantations.
Mu Bai skilfully made the seven Ice element stars connect with each other to form a Star Path within a minute.
...
While Mu Bai was performing his magic casting, Mo Fan wanted to play around with Mu Ningxue.
Mo Fan probed her with his will.
She was startled, her eyes went wide as she alertly glanced in his direction.
Mo Fan grinned annoyingly~
His lips moved, "(You finally looked at me)"
Mu Ningxue' eyes which were dead and dry for almost 5 years, glittered again looking at Mo Fan's warm smile.
Mu Ningxue was feeling a warm and bubbly sensation burst inside her heart as her cold glare slowly turned into a warm and yearning gaze. She just stared at Mo Fan and he did the same.
The other people besides them became insignificant as they only noticed each other in their eyes.
If a third person were to look at their behaviour, he would feel like they were having an intense staring contest.
Ti-ding~
She suddenly got notification from an unknown number!
She looked at Mo Fan, he pointed at his phone to check her phone.
She unlocked her phone and noticed Mo Fan had messaged her, "Meet me on the mountain where we used to spend our time, at sundown~"
She was confused, how did he got her number?
Ti-Ding~
Just as she was wondering, Mo Fan messaged her again!
"If you're wondering how I got your number, then I stole it from Xinxia's phone~ ?✌?"
She glanced at him again after reading his message... Her expression was extremely cold this time.
"Hmph!" She let out a cute humph as she proceeded to block Mo Fan.
Ti-Ding~
"Before you block me,"
Now, she was really getting annoyed. She didn't liked how her thoughts were being read as if she was an open book.
Ti-Ding~
"it is really my humble request to you, please meet up with me today. I want to talk with you... We haven't had a proper chat after what happened, so I thought we should talk it out like adults first... Don't you agree?"
She felt conflicted after reading his message now...
Truth be told it was her mistake for what had happened three years ago and had brought a lot of trouble to Mo Fan's family... She felt guilty.
And Mo Fan purposely made use of her guilt as he knew she always regretted for what she did that day!
He needed to meet up with her, otherwise she will keep on suffering from here on out because of the Ice Crystal Bow!
Mu Ningxue glanced at Mo Fan, this time he could clearly tell she was conflicted.
He quickly typed "Please, just this once! Do me this favour! I won't ask for anything more ever again!!"
Ti-Ding~
She read the message and thought for a little bit, before typing "Okay!"
...
Mu Bai's pupils changed. After he finished his Magic activation, those watching suddenly realized there was a layer of frost spreading on the body of the puppet.
The ice quickly covered its body, and the puppet now looked as though it was painted in a layer of ice lacquer. It was rather astonishing.
The stabbing cold air pervaded the entire exam grounds.
Creak~
The Ice Spread didn't stop after it covered the entire puppet, it even began to spread onto the floor of the exam grounds.
The other classes also had Ice element students who had taken the activation exam. Clearly their Ice Spreads weren't as imposing as Mu Bai's!
The other students felt intimidated and took a step back, feeling like the ice was about to spread to where they stood.
The directors and examiners were calm. However, their eyes flashed with praise.
This was the equivalent of a proficient Ice element skill, it had reached the standard of a member of the Magic Association.
This was actually set up for older students by the Magic Association. A student who only awakened an year ago capable of utilizing the Ice element skill to a proficient level was something extremely rare to come across.
"Not bad." Mu Zhuoyun still gave the same evaluation.
Mu Bai didn't know whether he had entered Mu Zhuoyun's eyes. With his heart feeling nervous, he shifted his gaze toward Mu Ningxue.
As he looked at her, Mu Bai felt as though an arrow had pierced through his heart. It was because his most beloved Mu Ningxue hadn't taken a look at him from the start. Instead, her gaze had always been attentively watching a certain person in his class.
Mu Bai took this opportunity and looked for the person she was looking at, and he felt another arrow piercing his heart.
[EMOTIONAL DAMAGE?]
Mo Fan!!
She's looking at Mo Fan!
Scoundrel, SCOUNDREL!
Why is she looking at him again!!
What is there to look at in a guy who is almost covered in trash? Why aren't you looking at my remarkable display of skill?!
Mu Bai's nervous face was almost completely distorted.
On the most important event of his life, all he wished for was to get Mu Ningxue's attention. But in the end, she still ended up looking toward that little hooligan. That little hooligan was only a clown that existed to entertain the princess, what's there to see in a clown? When you're done laughing, move on, why are you still wasting your precious attention on him?
"I will make you suffer immensely!" Mu Bai's face was exceedingly gloomy. He carried a heavy resentment as he left the exam grounds.
"Your marks are extremely outstanding. Your stardust is S, and your activation is of B grade!" the examiner gave him his final results
Even the top students would only receive a C grade or a D grade on the Activation test. The only other person who have received a B was that Lightning element user, Xu Zhaoting!
With a grade like this, he deserved the title of the number one in school.
