NOVEL WEB Chapter 33: It’s Called Sarcasm
CHAPTER 33: IT’S CALLED SARCASM!
ORIGINAL Author: Chaos
SPINOFF Author: Vester
While Mo Fan was... Coping and feeling astonished as to what had happened inside his spiritual world. The outside was pretty chaotic.
Crazy. The bald headed Director Wang and the other two examiners had gone crazy. The classmates who thought that Mo Fan would get swept out of the school had also gone crazy.
Shit, this is the real malfunctioning of the Star Appraisal Stone. How could that guy’s cultivation be at this kind of level??
“It’s an illusion, it must be an illusion!”
“I refuse to believe it, I REFUSE to believe it!!” The water element student Xiaobing was wailing like a ghost.
_What happened to us leaving the school together??_
_Let’s forget about the fact that you didn’t honour your title as a failure of a student, but you even became a Divine student. This time there will be no one who will stop me in my way, this daddy, I will jump into the river. If Mo Fan can become a Divine student, then I, a Water elemental Mage probably can drown to death?!_
The normally expressionless Mu Ningxue was completely showing her emotions at this time. That’s right, not even she imagined that the final result would be like this! No even she hadn’t achieved what he did right now.
For a person like Mo Fan that didn’t have any particularly special talent, or a family property, receiving a B was already quite normal.
However, he achieved overflowing Element before, and now forget about the overflowing Element, his Fire element itself had blessed Mo Fan. That phenomenon was already far ahead of Mu Ningxue, who had the support of the Mu family.
Right now she was an Intermediate Mage in both elements, but she was having trouble advancing her Cultivation because of her tender age of 16. Her body was not able to bear burden of her cultivation speed and her innate talent, so her Cultivation was in a stasis itself. She could cultivate again from next year but this whole year she would need rest. So she was only focusing on meditation and casting.
For some reason, Mu Ningxue’s heart bloomed like sunshine looking at the fire encapsulated Mo Fan.
“That really causes one to feel extremely shocked. I almost missed out on the personification of prodigy itself.” a school director exclaimed in admiration and reverence after seeing this event.
“That’s right. I don’t dare to imagine what kind of disaster would be brought over if we were to only give him a SS while also causing our school to lose out on such a prominent Mage.”
“Better late than never! Ms. Tang Yue, we are really grateful to your ability to spot details!”
As Ms. Tang Yue saw the School directors flattering her, she only returned a small smile. The truth was, even Tang Yue herself was extremely surprised and dumbfounded.
She knew Mo Fan was extremely close to reaching the peak of Basic Level, but she never would’ve expected this?! No in the first place what is This??!
Wang Xiulin’s mouth was still agape as she had stood up from her seat and watching Mo Fan whose eyes were still closed.
The other Fire Elemental user, goody two shoes girl Zhou Min, looked at this Godly Phenomenon. Her small face was clearly showing her disbelief.
This student who she always loathed for not making progress… he was actually stronger than Mu Bai?
She had actually been making a mistake this entire time?
All of their shock and disbelief was actually far inferior to the defeated look on Mu Bai’s face.
His expression couldn’t even be described as an expression, it was practically a whole distortion. Even his cramping facial muscles were twitching.
What was worse than being completely flipped over by the person they hated the most?
The dog of a henchmen, Zhao Kunsan rubbed his eyes over and over again. However, what he saw still didn’t changed. The superiority he was displaying toward Mo Fan was completely obliterated, making him seem like a comical retard, looking all lofty in the middle of the people.
“EX!”
“EX!”
“EX!”
“The Final Result is... EX!”
The highest score in school was S. However, Mo Fan had clearly done something which was impossible to do at basic level. His grade was more than justified.
Everyone here were witnesses of his grandiose achievement. Everyone were shocked, but some were revering him, while some were jealous of him, while some feared him. No matter what one thing was clear, no one would ever forget this student named Mo Fan!
Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes. He was still in shock as to what had happened inside his spiritual world but he couldn’t do anything about it right now. All he could is right now is focus on the exam.
“Mo Fan, do you wish to continue the exam?”
“Naturally!” Mo Fan gave the examiner a slight smile.
_I, Mo Fan, have been waiting for this for a long time!_
_Man, if it wasn’t for the world changing, then I would’ve already have reached this level during the High School examination. Fortunately, this outcome is still good!_
Mo Fan went near the testing area. He stood 5 metres apart from the training dummy. He again cast a glance towards Tang Yue. This time she was adamantly shaking her head side ways, as the situation had changed and he should not add more fuel to fire. Even Wang Xiulin was shaking her head and warning Mo Fan.
He took it seriously this time and only stuck to casting Level 1 Basic spell.
The two beautiful girls were warning him to not draw any more attention to him. They were here to smoke out the Black Vatican. The terrorist organisation was planning something in this city. They were blending in with the crowd so nicely. Who knows even the principal itself could be one of them. So drawing attention to himself in this situation was a stupid idea. The Black Vatican could easily murder Mo Fan so as to not letting him grow.
Mo Fan had perfected his Star Orbit and the Level 1 spells of both of his elements. He could literally blast a sprinting Colossal Eyed Ape Rat accurately, so why couldn’t he blast a non moving target?
Mo Fan stretched his hand forward and connected his Star Orbit within a second.
“Fire Burst: Searing Flames!”
As soon as the incantation were finished, the Flames erupted on his hand viciously and swiftly streaked across the training ground like a flaming arrow.
The speed of the flames were astonishingly fast, the ball of flame was fierce. It directly went through the training puppet and blasted a hole in the stone wall behind it.
The moment it went through the puppet, it was engulfed in flames and burned into ashes. Everything happened in just 10 seconds.
The reflection of the flames were visible on Mo Fan’s face. His face had an indifferent expression on it. It was because he was able to cast a stronger and more destructive spell than the spell he had cast.
After finishing all of this, Mo Fan turned around.
Every single person was dumbstruck.
The teachers, students, directors, they hadn’t even completely recovered their senses from the EX grade he had gotten from his previous examination. However, then they saw Mo Fan’s extremely smooth casting of Fire Burst.
There was no hesitation, and neither was it forced. Everything happened smoothly in just 10 seconds. That’s all.
Tang Yue and Wang Xiulin had proud looks for some reason. They were looking at Mo Fan like their son had finally overcame something important. Mo Fan was weirded out by their looks even though they looked beautiful no matter what they did.
_What the hell?! Anyway..._
“Give your marks,” Mo Fan glanced at the astonished examiners as he said this in a natural manner.
“SS!”
“SS!”
“SS!”
The grades for the casting test were immediately announced.
Mu Bai was already so angry that he felt as though he was about to get a heart attack. If this continued, then he really would stop breathing!
How could it be like this, this didn’t conform with the script!!
Both of the scores were higher than Mu Bai’s!
“Is this really the Mo Fan that we know??”
“This really is the most amazing turnaround in history. He became a divine student in just a second, it’s really blinding my dog eyes!” Xu Qinglin said.
Xue Musheng’s mouth had a crooked smile.
He didn’t care about the enmity between Mo Fan and Mu Bai. His class suddenly popped up a student with the EX grade, and his grades for the activation test were the highest. If everything went well, then wouldn’t he be Number One teacher in the entire school?
_From last place all the way to first place. I’m afraid there’s nothing more shocking than this, it’s like a dream._
_Other than him being Number One, Mu Bai should be able to settle steadily into second place._
Thus, the first and second-ranked students were in his class. This would give him a promotion!
“As expected of the Mu Family. Brother Mu Zhuoyun, you really had our small-scaled Mage Organization have an eye-opening experience. If I remember correctly, this Mo Fan is the son of the driver at your manor. Being in a large, noble family sure is great, you even unconsciously influenced a preeminent student in Bo City!” said Deng Kai from the Hunter’s Union.
Mu Zhuoyun looked at Deng Kai.
Deng Kai was in the upper echelon of the Hunter’s Union, and at same time, he was also a director of Tian Lan Magic High. Amongst the school directors, his cultivation was the highest, and his strength was also at intermediate level.
As a school director, Deng Kai was praising, and the other school directors were continually sighing.
“You can’t help but admire that. A son of a driver is already this amazing, he’s comparable to the magic seedlings which they have carefully raised!”
Mu Zhuoyun was slowly coming back to his senses from being shocked.
He really didn’t think that this Mo Fan would have some ability. Right now, he even heard praise coming from the people in his circle, his face immediately lit up.
As his mood got better, Mu Zhuoyun’s heart also began to ponder.
Mu Ningxue had carried the flag for the family for many years. However, the other direct successors and branch disciples all required support from the family. Only this way were they able to consolidate power within the family.
The Mu Family were very short in Mages who specialized in the Fire Element.
Although this kid had done things that had caused him to feel incomparably angry, he was just young and inexperienced. It had already been so many years since then, there was no need to continue investigating it. It was about time to give some benefit to this kid so he would start to serve the Mu Family.
He would definitely not approach Mu Ningxue. However, he could send him to his eldest son, Mu Jiangming, and nurture him into an remarkable Fire Element henchman. That was not a bad plan.
A talented person still needed to be recruited!
Mu Zhuoyun stroked his beard, feeling somewhat happy.
Mo Fan turned around, he looked at the happy Tang Yue and Wang Xiulin. He wanted to chat with Tang Yue but he still couldn’t openly chat with her as it would cause problems for her. He went towards Wang Xiulin as she was urging him to come.
After seeing Mo Fan exiting the examination ground, Mu Zhuoyun opened his mouth to say, “Mo Fan, come here.”
Mo Fan halted in his tracks and glanced at him. In front of others, Mu Zhuoyun would have a whiff of the prestige of a King, causing them to feel even afraid to breathe in front of him.
Mo Fan was different. Other than raising a beautiful daughter, to him Mu Zhuoyun only emitted the aura of an old scoundrel.
“You, Come here!” Mo Fan returned his words to him.
As soon as Mo Fan uttered his words, all the people stared at him while being dumbstruck.
_What is this dude saying?_ All the students had the same question going through their minds at the same time.
Wang Xiulin and Tang Yue both didn’t mind what he had said at all. This was the same scoundrel who had treated Mo Fan like shit before and now wanted to order him around.
“What did you just said?!” Mu Zhuoyun asked him while being surprised, he asked again to see if he had heard something wrong.
“I said, ‘You, Come Here!’”
“What?!” Mu Zhuoyun exclaimed.
“MO FAN! Hurry up and go and when the Master has called for you, don’t be rude!” His homeroom teacher Xue Musheng suddenly shouted at Mo Fan.
“Why should I? He has business with me. While I don’t. Shouldn’t he come to me?” Mo Fan asked in return. He said in mocking tone, but what he said was true.
“How dare yo...”
“He’s right you know. Why should he act like the old man wants? Mo Fan has no reason to obey him at all!” Wang Xiulin suddenly interrupted Mu Zhuoyun before he could finish his sentence.
She deduced Mo Fan had something against that Old Man and decided to help him this time.
Mu Zhuoyun angrily glared at the girl who interrupted him. She was the same woman who was supporting this arrogant kid from the start.
_Who does she think she is. How dare she interrupted this great me!_ Mu Zhuoyun thought as he angrily glared at Deng Kai as he had brought her here in the first place.
“B.. But Miss Wang isn’t the brat being rude to Master Mu. No matter what Mo Fan is still young, he should respect his elders and do as he is told..” Deng Kai suddenly spoke up be he was still being respectful to her.
“Uh... Who are you again? And what authority do you have to speak in front of me?” She glanced at him with pure disdain! She didn’t gave him any face.
Deng Kai immediately fell silent in front of her. After all he had only become an Advanced Hunter recently, while Wang Xiulin is a Three Star Hunter Mistress. She could even make Deng Kai resign from the Hunters Union if she wanted.
Seeing Deng Kai fall silent Mu Zhuoyun glanced at Wang Xiulin again, but this time his gaze was filled with astonishment.
Deng Kai was easily the person with most authority in the Hunters Union of Bo City, but even he dared not to speak in front of this woman.
“Ahem. I suppose we haven’t met yet. My Name is Mu...”
“I’m not interested.” Wang Xiulin said haughtily and interrupted him again.
Mu Zhuoyun’s face paled as he heard her mocking and disinterested remark. Mu Ningxue was also surprised, that her father was being insulted like this. She was a little angry at Wang Xiulin. She was indeed being disrespectful but she was standing up for Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue knew nothing good will come if Mo Fan and her father spoke to each other, that’s why she was being quite and observing the situation calmly.
“You! Who do you think you are to disrespect the great Master Mu! Apologize with this Kid right now!” Mu He suddenly snarled at her.
Wang Xiulin glanced at him and released her aura.
_Oh Shit, this wouldn’t be good!_ Mo Fan exclaimed as he panicked!
Wang Xiulin was extremely temperamental and Prideful. She would get angry super fast. Sometimes she would straight up blast some hunters viciously who were getting too annoying to deal with.
Her aura was dangerous and life threatening, Mu He was covered in cold sweat and instantly went down on his knees.
He was not able to breathe in front of her. Mu Bai was shocked looking at the miserable display of his uncle. He quickly went and stood in front of his uncle as to protect him.
Seeing this Mo Fan quickly went in front of her.
She looked at Mo Fan with a confused face as to why he was interfering.
“You’re taking it too far! Let me deal with them myself! And Thank you for standing up for me!” Mo Fan said to her gratefully.
She Looked at Mo Fan and sighed.
“Treat me to dinner at a Seven Star restaurant!” She said suddenly and looked adamantly at Mo Fan.
“Urgh... It will cost me at least a million. Shouldn’t something less expensive be enough? Like the stall of diner down the road around the corner?” Mo Fan directly went from a Seven Star restaurant to a breakfast diner around the corner.
The students who were watching this scene were dumbfounded! Who was this beautiful girl? What was her relationship with Mo Fan and just how strong was she that by only glaring at a person can make them suffer?
“You Cheapskate! If you keep being like this I won’t give you any high level quests!” She suddenly snarled at Mo Fan after hearing his suggestion.
The principal watching this scene finally ran out of patience and asked Deng Kai about who she was.
“She is a Three Star Hunter Mistress, who is on a vacation here” He said sincerely to the principal in a low voice.
Mu Zhuoyun was surprised, that a Three Star Hunter Mistress had arrived at their small town! She had as much as authority here as he does.
The principal was also shocked.
“Miss Wang, I’m the Principal Zhu of this modest school, may I know as to why have you honoured us with your presence” The principal bowed respectfully as he asked.
The students were startled, to see their principal bowing to the woman.
“I’m here on a vacation, I met Mo Fan and we became friends quickly. So I decided to visit his school for his important day as HIS GUARDIAN!” She emphasized the words Guardian to put pressure on the principal on purpose.
She did wanted to give Mo Fan a surprise, that’s why she was here in the first place. She thought given Mo Fan’s Cultivation he would be an Honour student, but after arriving here she understood a lot of things, that he had lot of enemies in the school and didn’t really have friends because everyone were looking down on him. She was kinda angry at the folks here.
“I.. I see... We are extremely sorry for our miserable display here. Please if you may we can chat in the principal’s cabin.” The Principal said as he looked at Mu He who was coughing.
“No need. If the exam is finished I wish to take him with me now.” Wang Xiulin demanded.
“Um we still have to announce the scores, so it will take some time.” Principal Zhu said.
Tring~
As she was about to reply to the principal she got a notification. She looked at her phone and noticed it was from her father sending some new leads to her.
“Hm... Mo Fan I have to go back now some emergency work as arrived all of a sudden. Come visit me tomorrow.” She said to Mo Fan as he nodded in response and she left after casting a glance to Tang Yue.
Mo Fan watched her go as he turned around to look at the miserable Mu He and the Foolishly petrified Mu Zhuoyun. He felt extremely happy at their sight.
The students also stared at Wang Xiulin’s figure as she left. She had the guts to cause such a scene and walk away as if nothing had happened. Even the principal had bowed to her respectfully.
No one ever uttered a word in front of her, because she was even able to humiliate the Tyrant of Bo City.
Mu He on the ground angrily glared at Mo Fan as he was being supported by Mu Bai.
_I will not forget this! No matter what both this Kid and that bitch will die!_ Mu He exclaimed in his heart maliciously.
Mu Zhuoyun finally recovered. He was beaming with anger, but he suppressed it and looked towards Mo Fan.
_This Brat is a little arrogant but he indeed has power to back his words, I can’t let him slip away from my grasps no matter what. First I’ll recruit him and then turn him into a servant of Mu Family.
Mu Zhuoyun strutted towards Mo Fan who was not willing to come to him.
Mo Fan glanced at the hefty man coming towards him.
The students also watched him going towards Mo Fan. This said a lot of things, no matter what Mu Zhuoyun was still a mature person, as he not only didn’t punished Mo Fan but also forgave him for his and that girl’s impudent behaviour earlier.
“What?” Mo Fan Asked.
“Our Mu Family received some cultivation resources for the Fire element a while ago; unfortunately, most of the people in the manor are Ice elemental users. Your fire-elemental talent is not bad at all; your cultivation even surprised me. Thus, I’d like to give these resources to you. From now on, when you’re not attending classes, you may cultivate with Mu Jiangming,” Mu Zhuoyun said as he stroked his beard.
These words were said in public!
From Mu Zhuoyun’s point of view, doing this also gave Mo Fan a lot of face! Despite what had happened just now.
The branch disciples within the manor scheme, wanting to display their abilities to me; yet, I don’t even give them the slightest bit of attention. A person like Mo Fan, who isn’t even a disciple of the Mu family, receiving this kind of opportunity is simply a huge leap in fortune!
In this society, there would always be some exceptions. With him being the Head of the Mu Family, he couldn’t just be narrow or small minded and only pay attention to the disciples within.
“Brother…this…how could this be? Mu Bai’s talent is even better. Perhaps he was just a bit nervous today; thus he wasn’t able to display his utmost abilities. Also, he is from our family, to begin with…..” Mu He was extremely shocked; he got up and spoke to Mu Zhuoyun.
After Mu Bai, who felt as though his heart had been pierced by thousands of arrows, heard this, he seemed as if he were a corpse being viciously whipped all over. It was a hideous appearance!
Damn, that was the opportunity to become an inner disciple which Mu Bai was looking for!
Mu Bai racked his brain so that he could erase the title of being just a branch disciple. Only after becoming a true core disciple of the Mu Family would he receive even more generous cultivation resources and no longer be that half a young master who freeloads under someone else’s roof.
It doesn’t matter if he didn’t receive it, but it was taken away by the person he hated the most!
This corpse was so pissed off; it almost resurrected!
“I have already made the decision. Mu He, you do not need to speak anymore,” Mu Zhuoyun waved his hand, his face maintained that slight smile as he looked at Mo Fan.
What’s wrong; are you getting too happy?
Hurry up and thank this Master for his kindness?
Mu Zhuoyun was relatively pleased with the fact that he could forget the former enmity and his arrogance and recruit the student who had no background. It seemed like he was a very understanding ruler.
Mo Fan looked at Mu Zhuoyun who had a slight smile on his face; his own expression was quite surprised.
But it soon became that of a mocking one, as he smirked disdainfully.
“I’m sorry while you were talking I was trying to figure where the hell you got the idea I cared.” Mo Fan said while smiling.
“What did you say?” Mu Zhuoyun’s face was filled with doubt; it seemed like he didn’t hear what the kid said.
“It’s called Sarcasm–the ability to insult idiots without them realizing it. I didn’t expected it to work so charmingly on you.” Mo Fan sarcastically and arrogantly replied.
Everyone was able to clearly hear these words; however, their expressions were filled with confusion.
What???
Idiots? Sarcasm?
He called Mu Zhuoyun an Idiot?
Heavens, this Mo Fan has gone crazy!
Mu Ningxue’s face paled at Mo Fan’s reply.
_Damn it! Why couldn’t he control himself!_
Mu Zhuoyun heard this very clearly. He ferociously blew his beard as he carried a bit of rage and replied, “Your next few words better be a good explanation, or else…”
“An explanation? Of course, I have one,” Mo Fan nodded as he continued,
“They say ignorance is bliss but I find yours rather disturbing. You know there’s someone for everyone and that person for you is a psychiatrist as you don’t even remember what you did to me and my father four years ago. You may have forgotten but I still remember it word to word. Call it me being petty or whatever you want, but trust me it will still won’t stop me from stepping unto your face in front of everyone. My tolerance for idiots like you is extremely low today. I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously there is a new strain out there. You want to recruit me after what you did? Hah! well guess what, I have another saying for you ‘Ugliness can be fixed, but stupidity is forever’. Even if you send Mu Ningxue with dowry to recruit me, I still wouldn’t do it. Do you really think that all the people in the world revolve around your Mu Family? And you even expect me to be moved to tears?? Are you crazy? Or were you born Stupid?”
As he cursed, it was as though the suppressed anger within his heart was completely spat out. The entire process was completely smooth.
The Principal, the school directors, director Deng Kai, Mu He, Mu Bai, Zhao Kunsan, Xue Musheng, the students of all ten classes, as well as Mu Ningxue were completely shocked.
Mu Zhuoyun’s face was exceedingly gloomy at this point.
Creak~
As he was angered by this, beneath Mu Zhuoyun’s feet grew a frozen, firm crystal ice. The cold aura emanated from the person’s anger was pervading throughout the air!
Mu Zhuoyun was angry, really angry!
He didn’t know how many years it had been since someone spoke to him like this. Calling him the tyrant of Bo City wasn’t completely wrong. The high tiered people of the same generation, the Principals of the Magic schools, the high-status people from Magic Association, and even Deng Kai from the Hunter’s Union would always treat him with respect. Even the people from the manor would be unable to breathe when they were in front of him. But today Two people have disrespected him, that Three Star Hunter Mistress was one thing, but Who just gave this kid, Mo Fan, the guts to talk to him like that??!!
“You! Brat! Don’t think you can say whatever you want to me just because you have a Three Star Hunter Mistress backing you! I will make both of you suffer in my city!” Mu Zhuoyun said coldly. His voice was extremely icy as he was glaring daggers at him.
The aura of ice filled the grounds.
A frightening ice ground!
The grounds filled with sand and grains were completely frozen into a solid ice crystal in just a few seconds with Mu Zhuoyun in the centre!
The icy aura was vicious. The hot, summer day suddenly became winter. The training grounds also turned into an ice floor, like a gigantic mirror!
This mind-blowing scene scared the school’s students and caused them cry out in fear!
The training ground turned into an ice floor in just an instant. Mu Zhuoyun didn’t even cast any magic; he only relied on his aura to freeze the entire training ground. Just what kind of boundary had his cultivation reached?
Comparing Mu Bai’s previous, small Ice Spread, Mu Zhuoyun was simply a huge monster, incomparable.
“Haha~ How Comical~ you think that I’m going ask Xiulin’s help to deal with you? Dude I’m not like you who hides behind women every time I offend someone. Even if she was not here today, I would’ve still insulted you!” Mo Fan exclaimed mercilessly as two Balls of Flames appeared in his hands. He was raring to go.
“You Bastard! How dare you speak to me like this?! I will freeze you to death!” Mu Zhuoyun’s aura spiked and surged towards Mo Fan.
“Zhuoyun, control your mood. This is a school, and there are also students with no defensive capabilities,” The school director who was also from the Hunter’s Union, Deng Kai, suddenly stood up, standing between Mu Zhuoyun and Mo Fan.
As Deng Kai stood in between them, Mu Zhuoyun’s intimidating power became somewhat weaker. However, the people in the surroundings were still intimidated to the point where they had difficulties breathing.
Deng Kai didn’t wanted to interfere but if Wang Xiulin knew something had happened to Mo Fan, he was pretty sure he would be kicked out from the Hunters Union. So he hastily tried to protect Mo Fan.
As Deng Kai stood in between them, a few people who could still move and Ms. Tang Yue’s pace came to a halt.
Tang Yue didn’t permit Mu Zhuoyun to harm her students, even if she wasn’t a match for the Mu Zhuoyun, the Ice elemental Family Head.
“Mo Fan you-you shameful thing! What are you saying?! Immediately apologize to Mr. Mu Zhuoyun!” Mu He said with great anger.
Was this Mo Fan stupid beyond redemption or something? He even had the guts to act like this in front of Mu Zhuoyun! Was his family tired of living?!
“Apologize? Of course I will. However, he must also apologize to me regarding the matter from four years ago.
Don’t think you can scare me with your high cultivation and authority. This Mu Zhuoyun used his cultivation to bully me, a student who hasn’t even turned 18 yet.
Let’s put it like this; if you were the same age as me, I would’ve loved to bully and beat you up everyday!” Mo Fan’s fearless gesture was currently being displayed in great detail.
“Bullshit!” Mu Zhuoyun was getting really pissed off by this bastard kid, so much that he directly began to swear.
When Mu Zhuoyun was at his age, even though his talent may not have matched Mu Ningxue’s, he was still a genius. He naturally didn’t place any of the students within Tian Lan Magic High in his eyes!
“Mo Fan, you really are shamelessly daring! Don’t even mention Master Mu Zhuoyun when he was young, we could randomly grab a core disciple from the current Mu Family and he’d be able to beat you down with a single move!”
“That’s right, we don’t even need to use core disciples. I, Mu Bai could duel you in magic. If you lose, then you must kneel down and apologize to Master Mu!” At this time, Mu Bai came to life and jumped down to be used as a dog by Mu Zhuoyun.
Mu Bai and Mo Fan were peers, it would be a fair duel. _Let’s see what other excuses you’ll have!_ , thought Mu Bai.
With this, Mu Bai would beat Mo Fan to death and firmly ease Master Mu Zhuoyun’s resentments.
“Core Disciples? Sure I’m game any time you want.” Mo Fan said as he ignored Mu Bai completely.
“Not necessary.” An icy, arrogant voice resounded.
Everyone’s gaze immediately turned toward the voice that spoke up.
The person who said this was precisely Mu Ningxue. Who would’ve imagined that Mu Ningxue would make a move at this time?
Mu Ningxue came between her father and Mo Fan. Her gaze was like an ice mountain that carried a bit of anger.
The person she was angry at was naturally Mo Fan.
“Since you said my father only knows how to bully the younger generation…since you said that my father used his authority to suppress you, and you relied on your own cultivation to develop your magic…
“In that case, I’m the same age as you, I’ll compete with you!” In Mu Ningxue’s tranquil voice was an icy power.
“Ningxue??” After Mu Zhuoyun saw his own daughter come out, the anger on his face changed into astonishment.
As Mo Fan saw that it was Mu Ningxue who was facing him, his face had a perplexed expression as he looked at her.
_Xue Xue? Ugh! I know you plan to protect me but please stop!_ he thought as he made his made signals to stop her from interfering.
“Hmph! Like I said Hiding behind Women is your speciality. You Old scoundrel!” Mo Fan’s said while smirking in a provoking manner to Mu Zhuoyun.
Hearing Mo Fan’s words Mu Zhuoyun's face paled and blue veins were clearly visible on his forehead. He was extremely angry at him.
Seeing his response Mu Ningxue just got more angry at him.
_Why did you have to pour more alcohol into fire! Can’t you see I’m trying to save your life here?!_ She glared at Mo Fan.
_I don’t want you to save me! Just sit back and watch the show and don’t get involved. I don’t wanna fight you!_ Mo Fan replied with his eyes.
While the two love birds were conversing with their eyes, Mu Zhuoyun was extremely angry. Mu Bai who was observing Mu Zhuoyun quickly to take chance of this situation to come into the eyes of the tyrant by defending him against this Dreg.
“Ningxue, I am enough to deal with this guy, there’s no need for you to…” Mu Bai promptly said with a smile.
“My father has been thoroughly humiliated. My father can be magnanimous and not bother with this sharp tongued little thief. However, I, as his daughter, simply will not let the person who has humiliated my father off! We’ll settle it by using an impartial Magic Duel!” Each and every word said by Mu Ningxue was sincere, there was not a hint of hesitation in her voice.
“Good, well said! This icy, lofty and unyielding character makes us, the older generation very gratified! As expected of the number one genius of Bo City! Having an outstanding talent at such a young age while having the ability to distinguish between right and wrong!” School Director Deng Kai immediately began praising her.
After he praised her, Director Deng Kai also patted Mu Zhuoyun’s back as he said, “Brother Zhuoyun, having you deal with this rude kid is not necessary at all. Naturally, you can’t return to when you were 16 to duel him, proving whether he’s better than you when you were young. It’s better to let your daughter Mu Ningxue take your place in this matter and silence this kid that does not know the immensity of heavens and earth.”
Mu Zhuoyun didn’t say anything as he just stared at Deng Kai.
As Deng Kai saw that Mu Zhuoyun was still able to control his temper, he gave a slight smile before he walked in front of Mo Fan and said, “Mo Fan, right? As the person in charge of the Hunter’s Union within Bo City, I really am not sure on whether your actions today can be described as you being young and inexperienced, or just simply stupid. However, you should apologize to Mu Zhuoyun for your hot-headed action, the contributions he has made to Bo City are far beyond what you can comprehend.”
“Apologize? That’s not a problem. I can cover my entire body in thorns and use the most traditional method, kowtowing, to apologize to him. I’ll even kowtow until he’s satisfied.
However, are the Mu Family even worthy of my apology? Go ask them regarding what they said to my family four years ago. If I were to apologize, then it’d be after they have apologized for the matter four years ago.
If you think I’m going down without a fight, you’re very wrong old fart. Not only will I stomp on your face mercilessly, I will also steal your precious daughter right in front of you!” Mo Fan exclaimed.
“This is a society ruled by law. How could this kind of thing happen? At most, we’d just expel you,” the Principal said as he creased his eyebrows.
“Try it then! With my ability I’m pretty sure I can go about any great University I want!” Mo Fan said without backing down to the principal.
“Don’t test me student!” The principal said with a hint of anger in his voice. In response Mo Fan smirked.
He was going against everyone all on his own. He knew the principal and Deng Kai won’t let him get hurt after all.
“Alright, since things have come to this point, then it’s not as difficult to deal with as I thought. Then we’ll do according to what Mu Ningxue said, she will have a magic duel with you. If you lose, then you will have to apologize until Mu Zhuoyun is satisfied. If Mu Ningxue loses…” As Deng Kai reached this point, his gaze turned toward Mu Zhuoyun.
Mu Zhuoyun said with a cold voice, “How could Mu Ningxu lose?”
“You don’t need to spout so much garbage, just say if you dare or not!” Mo Fan’s tone carried a sharp dagger.
Dignity wasn’t something that would be grander just because you’re from an aristocratic family. Even more so if your own family was homeless, miserable, and lower than dirt. Mo Fan was just a nobody, a nobody who sought revenge for his grievance!
Have him join Mu Family?
Mo Fan was unable to forget the words Mu Zhuoyun said four years ago that sounded as though he was disciplining a dog. And he definitely was unable to forget the fact that Mu He was responsible for them being homeless. If he were to eager to go back to them just because Mu Zhuoyun threw him a bone, then he himself would really be a dog! At that point, how would he be any different from Zhao Kunsan and Mu Bai?
Saying profanities to him?
That should be normal!
Four years ago, when he was just Thirteen years old, he had the guts to point at Mu Zhuoyun and call him an old scoundrel. Now that he was Seventeen years old, how could he possibly be afraid of him?
‘Once bitten by a snake, three years shy from the rope’; this was a phrase that was well disposed to Mo Fan. If a snake dared to bite him, then he would definitely act like the snake was a rope and swing it away!
When you were already being seen as an ant in someone’s eyes, there was no way for you to run away from that colossal foot. You might as well just curse at them until you were satisfied.
“Brother Zhuoyun, do you agree?” Deng Kai acted like a mediator.
Currently, the argument and cursing had been seen by the entire school. If they were able to direct this ugly affair towards a fair Magic Duel, that would naturally be the best option. If they really were to expel this student called Mo Fan, it would be meaningless. It would cause the school to lose a prodigy. Being able to achieve what he had today was really Godly. There’s no way the principal would give Mo Fan up.
“My adopted son, Yu Ang, is the same age as you. I’ll have him duel you!” Mu Zhuoyun said.
As Mu Ningxue heard this, her forehead creased.
“Or…” Mu Ningxue wanted to say something.
Mu Zhuoyun didn’t give Mu Ningxue a chance to speak, turning toward Deng Kai and saying, “Deng Kai, I know you tend to look after the younger generation. However, even you saw this kid speaking so rudely to me. I have taken a step back, letting him have a chance to measure his ability with my adoptive son, Yu Ang. If he loses, then this kid will kowtow to me until I’m completely satisfied. If he wins, I will apologize. The lousy matter from four years, I, Mu Zhuoyun naturally did not place in my eyes!”
As Mu Bai and Mu He heard this, a smile suddenly emerged on their faces.
_Yu Ang, let Yu Ang deal with it!_
Mu Zhuoyun sure was shrewd! He guessed that Mu Ningxue’s sudden stance was most likely to help this kid exonerate himself.
How could Mu Zhuoyun possibly let Mo Fan off the hook so easily? Even if Mu Ningxue wholeheartedly wanted to help him dissolve this matter, he would definitely not suppress his tone.
Yu Ang was the cultivation lunatic of the Mu Family. Whenever someone mentioned this person, their whole body would feel a chill. If they were to let Yu Ang handle this matter, then it was guaranteed that Mo Fan would suffer a miserable death!
“The regulations of the Magic Association state that both of the parties involved in the Magic Duel need to be 18 years old. Thus, allow me, Deng Kai, to act as a witness for this matter. The day when Mo Fan and Yu Ang have both reached the age of 18, they will engage in a Magic Duel!” Deng Kai said sincerely.
Mu Zhuoyun coldly harrumphed.
Mo Fan nodded his head, “I’d have a bit of difficulty to make a move against my woman, thus, switching to a man is good. I’ll beat him until his father won’t recognize him!”
As Mu Zhuoyun heard Mo Fan still slandering him, he was so enraged he blew into his beard.
_Wait and see. During the Magic Duel at the age of 18, we’ll make you lose your pride and cover your body with wounds!_
The Magic Association, the Hunter’s Union, and the Magic Schools. These organizations unconditionally protected the Magic students. However, as soon as they reached 18, they came of age. Mages would then have to hold responsibility for their own actions.
At the moment, Mu Zhuoyun had no need to lower himself to the same level as a sharp-mouthed kid. In two years, when he had come of age, Mu Zhuoyun might as well let him hover between life and death.
