Outside Shuilan Middle School, a light drizzle was falling.
At the school gate, parents crowded together, holding umbrellas, their rain-soaked faces full of hope.
Today was a crucial day for their children's advancement, whether they could enter Tianlan Magic High School and eventually get into a good university all depended on their performance today!
You didn't read it wrong.
It's a magic high school!
In this society, magic reigns supreme!
All children must receive nine years of compulsory magic education. After completing the nine years of basic magic theory and magic life skills, they will take an exam similar to the high school entrance exam. Those who pass the exam can enter a magic high school and become a true magician!
...
Osmanthus petals were scattered by the rain on the straight road of the campus. After the bell rang, students flooded out, either walking alone or seeking their friends, discussing the content of today's exam.
"Hey, Mu Bai, the seven elements of elemental magic—ice, fire, earth, water, wind, light, and thunder. Did you solve this problem?" A boy with a small bow tie and a pale face asked.
"Perfectly solved!" Mu Bai, who was a god in terms of his hairstyle, height, and appearance, replied.
"Truly worthy of our top student, to solve such a difficult mixed-element problem... Hey, isn't that Mo Fan who only scored 6 points on the mock exam?" Zhao Kun, with a face full of freckles, said.
Mu Bai's eyes immediately glanced disdainfully at the young man holding an umbrella alone and said, "This guy is about to become a truck procurement officer like his father."
"Isn't that just your family's servant, hahaha!"
These three spoke very boldly, not caring at all if the boy named Mo Fan heard them.
After mocking him, the three left with a swagger, clearly confident they would pass the magic high school entrance exam.
...
Holding a black Wong Fei-hung umbrella, Mo Fan walked out of the school gate on his own.
Looking back at the campus he was about to leave, Mo Fan's myriad thoughts condensed into two words: "F*cking hell!"
Could it not be f*cking hell?
Mo Fan did not belong to this world. He was a genius student who actually despised regular exams and always submitted blank papers.
Being considered a slacker by classmates and teachers was normal, just like a college student had no reason to waste over an hour sitting there for a small red flower.
Originally, Mo Fan planned to take the high school entrance exam more seriously, casually getting first or second place in the school, and entering the best high school in the city with the most humiliating attitude, stepping on idiots like Mu Bai...
But an accident happened.
He, a good student, fell asleep on the back mountain of the school and suddenly found himself in this world!
Magic!!
His classmates, teachers, father, and sister had not changed, but the entire world had.
His world, which revered science, had turned into one where magic reigned supreme.
Math, physics, and chemistry had become black magic, white magic, and dimensional magic!
Academic disciplines had become fire, ice, and thunder!
You change, you change, Mo Fan actually did not resist this magic at all, and even knowing that magic truly existed made him feel invigorated. However, the world changed just as he was about to take the exam.
This left him completely clueless about magic!
Thus, he transformed from a student who wanted to pretend to be a slacker to a real slacker, enduring ridicule and mockery!
The only thing to be grateful for was that the nine years of compulsory magic education mainly covered a variety of theoretical knowledge, only touching on magic-related life skills. True magic would be taught in high school.
To become a true magician, one must go through an important step: "Magic Awakening"!
Magic Awakening would be initiated at the high school opening ceremony, witnessed by all the school leaders and teachers. Even if you hadn't learned the theory, you still had a chance to awaken your own element!
Mo Fan actually really liked magic, and for him, this was undoubtedly a perfect rebirth.
He also wanted to become a mage who could stand atop a high building, dancing with fire and summoning thunder, contributing to saving the world.
However, this exam...
To put it this way, after his relentless efforts before the exam, he finally reached the level of understanding the questions, but whether the answers were correct... well, it was enough to be happy.
...
"Mo Fan, Mo Fan..." In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a sallow face raised his hand high, calling out to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan looked at this familiar face, somewhat surprised, and called out, "Dad, why are you here?"
"To pick you up. Now that the exam is over, you've graduated. I've found you a job in the neighboring district, running errands. Your Uncle Guangfeng will take you, and after a few years of experience, you can do it on your own. With good luck, you can earn four to five thousand a month. It's better to start working early." Mo Jiaxing said with a smile.
The world had changed, but Dad was still the same. Mo Fan could feel the warmth that nothing could change.
Running errands was something Mo Jiaxing had mentioned to Mo Fan before. Mo Fan, who originally wanted to surprise his father, could only bitterly accept the reality that he was indeed a slacker.
The problem was, he was not content.
This society had cars, mobile phones, computers, and refrigerators. Technological products had not changed due to the prevalence of magic. If he couldn't become a magician, he would become a worker producing these things. Damn, what was the difference from his original world? He wanted to learn magic!!
According to the theory that other things in this world would not change, his talent should also remain unchanged. As long as he worked hard in high school and made up for the past, he could still become a true top student... no, a magic master!
"Dad, I want to continue studying." Mo Fan remained silent for a long time before finally telling Mo Jiaxing his thoughts.
"Aren't you not interested in studying magic?" Mo Jiaxing raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.
"Uh..." Mo Fan felt a bit frustrated, unsure if his father would believe him, sighing in his heart.
Mo Jiaxing looked at his son, who was about to turn sixteen, and said with a kind smile, "It's okay, Dad won't blame you for not studying magic hard. Everyone has their own path."
"No, I really want to study."
"Can you pass the exam?" Mo Jiaxing asked.
"No." Mo Fan answered very firmly.
"Then that's it. It's okay, although the ancients said: all things are inferior, only magic is supreme, but there are also sayings that every profession has its top performers..." Mo Jiaxing continued.
Mo Fan listened and involuntarily smacked his lips.
Now, Mo Fan had to automatically convert a lot of information, but the process made him particularly speechless. For example, Mo Fan remembered that one day, the history teacher told the students that the founder of light magic was "Edison," which made Mo Fan's heart race with a million grass mud horses!
Dad Mo Jiaxing patted Mo Fan's shoulder, comforting him, but then noticed that his son was silent and seemed a bit off.
A father knows his son best. Mo Jiaxing slowly retracted his smile and lowered his voice, "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I want to get that awakening opportunity. Although I know it's too late to regret now, I really want to study hard and become a magician." Mo Fan said sincerely.
He needed just one chance!
Mo Jiaxing remained silent for a moment.
Mo Fan did not speak either.
"Really want to study?" Mo Jiaxing asked again.
"Yes." Mo Fan nodded without hesitation.
At first, Mo Fan thought it was a dream, a joke played by the world, but the reality proved that the world had indeed changed, and this was not a dream!
"Alright, I'll think of a way." Mo Jiaxing did not say much more.
"Dad, I found a part-time job at Tianlan Magic High School for the summer, working in the library. I start the day after tomorrow." Mo Fan said.
Since he had decided to study magic, Mo Fan had to be fully committed.
Whether he could enter the magic high school and get the opportunity to become a magician depended on his father's efforts. He needed to make up for his lack of knowledge through his own efforts. So, even though he knew he had no hope of passing the exam, he found this job in advance.
This job paid almost nothing, just providing food and lodging, but it was very important to Mo Fan. In the library, he could find a lot of things he needed to catch up on.
Fortunately, he was indeed a genius, and in a short time, he had already completed the first and second-grade courses... Damn, why did this sentence make him feel like an idiot!
Beside him, Dad Mo Jiaxing, seeing his son's determination, was also moved.
Since his son was determined to pursue magic, why shouldn't he be happy? After all, in this society, only magicians had true status. Running errands for a lifetime, even with a house and a car, could not compare to the value and respect of a magician who graduated from a magic school.
"Let's go home first, I'll take care of this!" Mo Jiaxing nodded, saying no more.
