Chapter 26 -  What happened to the trust?         

“Ice Spread!”

Without stopping or hesitation, Mu Bai yelled this in a rush, demonstrating all of his hard work .

His 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 stabbingly 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 .

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 .

    ……

“Next, Mo Fan!”

As people were admiring Mu Bai magnificently seizing the crown, it was finally Mo Fan’s turn .

The truth is, Mo Fan felt like something was strange .

Why did it have to be me after that Green Tea Man? Did they scheme this?

Mo Fan refused to believe that there was such a coincidental thing in this world .

However, it didn’t matter . If one needed sleep, one should sleep . Different situations called for different measures . If you don’t do anything, then there’ll be no clear sky .

    ……

“Are you alright?” Mu He whispered as he watched Mu Bai walking over .

“I did what you told me to,” Mu Bai seemed like a scheming woman as he replied sinisterly .

“I’m doing this for the good of Mo Jiaxing . By directly sweeping his son out of here, I’ll save him the trouble as a parent tirelessly worrying about him . His son wasn’t someone who was suited to study magic from the beginning, yet, he still had to force his way in,” Mu He said .

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

Before the examination, Mu He had used his powers as the school director to carefully scheme something .

The bald examiner was one of Mu He’s people . Thus, the order of the examinees was something Mu He had arranged .

As soon as Mu Bai finished his exams, it became Mo Fan’s turn . After Mo Fan finished his examination, it would be the time for resting and announcement of grades . Thus, within this short break, one could secretly pull a trick . For example, when Mu Bai had placed his hand on the Star Appraisal Stone, he could slip in a Black Stone into it .

The effects of the Black Stone were very simple . When the Star Appraisal Stone was emitting its radiance, the Black Stone was capable of absorbing a part of the energy, causing the Star Appraisal Stone’s radiance to dim by a lot .

So if Mo Fan was barely able to reach the C grade, then this tiny Black Stone the size of a grain could lower Mo Fan’s grades to a solid D .

Either way, he’s just trash . Who cares if we make him look like complete and utter trash? There really was no need for the school to waste its resources on a person like that, expelling him from the school benefitted not only the school, but also his family .

Mu Bai had already smiled so much that his face seemed completely distorted .

How are you, Mo Fan, going to avoid losing all of your face this time?

    ……

“Mo Fan, that sounds familiar . ” At this time, Mu Zhuoyun slowly opened his mouth .

“Big Brother, he is the son of Madam’s driver,” Mu He reminded Mu Zhuoyun .

At that moment, the Mu Zhuoyun whose eyes that seemed like ice and snow this entire time suddenly began to turn .

In truth, he had already taken notice of Mo Fan . It’s just he was in doubt . How come the second he got here, it was Mu Bai’s and Mo Fan’s examinations?

Mu Zhuoyun took glance at Mu Ningxue to his side .

Mu Ningxue quickly recovered her tranquil manner, acting as though she was looking at the mediocre students from before, without any fluctuation to her emotions .

Mu Zhuoyun’s eyes gave rise to some satisfaction .

A kid will always have a time where they are rebellious . Once they grow up, they will no longer be that childish .

“Let’s watch then . He also counts as one of our Mu Family, at least, he was . ” Mu Zhuoyun’s manner of speaking was indifferent as he said this .

Mu Zhuoyun was also very clear on the fact that a driver’s son was incapable of being any good, thus, letting Mu Ningxue watch was also beneficial . This kind of person was common within the small Bo City, they would leave our world sooner or later . Mu Zhuoyun didn’t want this kid, Mo Fan, to remain a scar within the heart of his precious daughter .  

    ……

On the other side, Mo Fan didn’t listen to what these people were talking about .

He had already walked to the front of the Star Appraisal Stone, and just like the people before him, he placed his hand on the Star Appraisal Stone .

“To be honest, I’m really thankful that he is here . He can save me from setting the standards lower, this way, I won’t be too miserable,” a failure of a student said .

“Third Brother, I also got a D . Don’t worry, we can leave the campus together in a natural manner . ” said his classmate, Xiao Bing, who was a Water Element from the same dorm .

“Whether he can receive a D is hard to say . ”

“Yeah, he probably didn’t make any progress on his cultivation . ”

In the same class, Zhoumin, who also possessed the Fire Element, was attentively watching Mo Fan .

She wanted to know whether he studied or not . A person who clearly had a higher talent in the Fire Element than her being expelled from the school, this made even Zhoumin feel it was somewhat a pity . At same time, she couldn’t help but loathe Mo Fan, a person who didn’t put effort into improving himself .

“There’s light, there’s light coming… . . ”

“The radiance seems really weak, it feels like it’s even weaker than a D grade . ”

On the Star Appraisal Stone, the radiance felt extremely bashful . It was simply unable to escape from the inside of the Star Appraisal Stone .

However, the radiance on the inside had a relatively strong light . It seemed as if the light was being concealed by a shadow; simply unable to escape from the inside .

“Shit, something isn’t right . ”

“That light… . it doesn’t seem to be a D!”

“Really? Grade C??” The dorm mate, Xiao Bing looked at it in astonishment . He seemed unable to believe that Mo Fan was actually able to cause a C grade Fire Element radiance to appear on the Star Appraisal Stone .

We said that we would leave the school in a natural manner, but you receiving grade C would barely meet the qualifications .

What about the trust from one failure to another failure?
