Chapter 26

"Vine of Ice!"

Without any pause or interruption, Mu Bai performed the spell flawlessly, showcasing his hard-earned skills.

His pupils changed color, and the moment he exhaled the magical breath, he suddenly found that the mannequin was covered in white frost!

The frost quickly spread, making the entire mannequin look as if it had been painted with a layer of ice, which was quite astonishing.

The cold air spread throughout the examination room.

"Crack... Crack... Crack..."

The Vine of Ice did not stop after covering the mannequin; it began to spread across the floor of the examination room.

Other classes also had ice-type students who had tested the Vine of Ice skill, but their Vine of Ice was clearly not as impressive as Mu Bai's!

The students all retreated in fear, feeling that the Vine of Ice was about to spread to their area.

However, the school leaders and examiners remained calm, their eyes showing a hint of approval.

This was a relatively mature Vine of Ice skill, which would pass in the Mage Association.

The Mage Association was set up for adults, and it was quite remarkable for a student who had only awakened a year ago to complete such a mature ice skill.

"Not bad," Mu Zhuoyun still gave this evaluation.

Mu Bai didn't know if he had impressed Mu Zhuoyun, and he nervously turned his gaze to Mu Nixue.

When he looked, Mu Bai felt as if he had been shot in the heart, because his beloved Mu Nixue wasn't even looking at him; instead, she was staring at someone in the class.

Mu Bai followed her gaze and felt another arrow pierce his heart.

Mo Fan!!

She was looking at Mo Fan!!

Damn, damn!!

Why was she looking at him again!!

What was so special about that guy who should be buried in the trash? Why wasn't she looking at me with such an outstanding performance!!

Mu Bai's face was almost contorted.

At the most important moment of his life, he wanted Mu Nixue's attention, but she was still looking at that little punk. That punk was just a clown to make the princess laugh; what was so special about a clown? Why waste your precious attention on him after he's done making you laugh?

"I'll make you suffer terribly!" Mu Bai's face was extremely dark as he walked out of the examination room with a heavy grudge.

"The score is very outstanding, Star Dust S, Release B," the examiner gave the final score.

In terms of release, even the top students were only at C and D levels. The only one who reached B level was Xu Zhaoting, the lightning-type student!

This score was undoubtedly the best in the entire school.

...

"Next, Mo Fan!"

Just as people were amazed by Mu Bai's splendid victory, it was finally Mo Fan's turn.

In fact, Mo Fan found it a bit strange.

Why was it my turn right after the绿茶男 (green tea boy)? Was it deliberately arranged?

Mo Fan didn't believe in such coincidences.

However, it didn't matter. Eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, face the soldiers with soldiers, and the water with earth. If you don't raise your hand, it's a sunny day.

...

"How was it?" Mu He asked Mu Bai in a low voice when he saw him walk over.

"I did as you said," Mu Bai replied with a venomous tone, like a resentful woman.

"I'm doing this for the Mo family, to get rid of this son directly so that his father won't have to worry and toil anymore. He's not cut out for magic, yet he insists on squeezing in," Mu He said.

Mu He and Mu Bai naturally had a plan to deal with Mo Fan.

Before the exam, Mu He had carefully planned using his power as a school trustee.

The bald examiner was Mu He's man, and Mu He had arranged the order of the students' exams.

Mu Bai's exam was immediately followed by Mo Fan's, and after Mo Fan's exam, there was a break to announce the first half of the exam results. This allowed for a perfect manipulation, such as placing a dark stone under the Star Sense Stone when Mu Bai put his hand on it.

The dark stone's function was simple: when the Star Sense Stone emitted light, it would absorb part of the energy, making the entire Star Sense Stone's light much dimmer.

This way, even if Mo Fan barely managed to get a C, the tiny dark stone could pull his score down to a D, or even lower.

After all, he was just a worthless person. Letting him be worthless all the way wouldn't matter. Such a person really didn't deserve to waste the school's resources. It would be better for both the school and his family to get rid of him early.

Mu Bai was already laughing with a twisted smile.

This time, Mo Fan, you're going to lose face, aren't you?

...

"Mo Fan, that name sounds familiar," Mu Zhuoyun said slowly at this moment.

"Big brother, he's the son of the lady's driver," Mu He timely reminded Mu Zhuoyun.

At this moment, Mu Nixue, whose eyes had been cold and distant, showed a flicker of interest.

In fact, she had recognized Mo Fan long ago, but she was also puzzled as to why she had arrived just in time for Mu Bai and Mo Fan's tests.

Mu Zhuoyun glanced at Mu Nixue beside him.

Mu Nixue quickly regained her usual calm, looking at Mo Fan as she would any ordinary student, without any emotional波动 (fluctuation).

Mu Zhuoyun was somewhat satisfied.

Children always have their moments of naughtiness and rebellion, but they grow out of it.

"Let's see. He was once part of our Mu family," Mu Zhuoyun said calmly.

Mu Zhuoyun was very clear that the son of a driver couldn't be that outstanding. It was good for Mu Nixue to see this. Such a common person from a small city would eventually fade from their world. He didn't want such a boy to leave any scars on his precious daughter's heart.

...

On the other side, Mo Fan didn't pay attention to what those people were saying.

He had already walked to the Star Sense Stone and placed his hand on it, just like the others.

"Actually, I'm very grateful to have him around, helping me stay at the bottom. Otherwise, I'd be in trouble," a poor student said.

"Old Three, I'm also a D. No problem, we can leave the school together in style," the water-type student Xiao Bin from the dormitory said.

"Whether we can get a D is still uncertain."

"Yeah, no progress in cultivation at all."

In the class, Zhou Min, who was also a fire-type, was watching Mo Fan.

She wanted to know if this guy had been studying at all. A person with higher fire-type talent than her was about to be expelled from the school, which Zhou Min found a bit regrettable. She also couldn't help but feel some disgust towards Mo Fan's lack of ambition.

"There's light, there's light..."

"The light seems very weak, weaker than a D."

On the Star Sense Stone, the light was very shy, unable to radiate from inside the stone.

However, the light inside seemed to have a strong breakthrough, as if it should shine brightly, but it couldn't be released.

"Damn, something's not right."

"This light... it's not a D!"

"Really? A C level??" Xiao Bin, the dormitory mate, was stunned, unable to believe that Mo Fan had actually triggered a C-level fire-type light on the Star Sense Stone.

What about the promise of leaving the school in style? Getting a C means you barely passed.

What about the trust between poor students??
