Versatile Mage c1-2021, page 22
At this time, Mo Fan accidentally became the focus point of everyone.
“Alright, Mo Fan, you may redo your exam. Mrs. Tangyue, you’ve also inspected it, there shouldn’t be any problems this time right?” the bald examiner asked with a flattering smile.
“No, there isn’t,” Mrs. Tangyue replied. Her dark eyes might have scorched his face for all the friendliness in them.
Mo Fan once again stood in front of the Star Appraisal Stone. This time, he didn’t feel a cold air coming off of it.
It really was Mu Bai’s fault!
Mo Fan humphed coldly. Thankfully, the s.e.xiest and most enchanting Mrs. Tangyue discovered this so early, or else Mo Fan would appear to be lower than a piece of poop in front of the school directors!
Mo Fan closed his eyes and placed his hands on top of the Star Appraisal Stone. The cold Star Appraisal Stone quickly turned warm from the circulation of Mo Fan’s Stardust energy.
The radiance began to intensify, and the scarlet radiance looked as though it was burning from within. The radiance this time didn’t suffer from any kind of suppression as it was released. It spread around the Star Appraisal Stone, and it even began to leak out of it!
“This…this radiance!!!”
The first one to reveal an incredibly surprised face was precisely Mu Zhuoyun. The Principal, Vice-Principal, the Disciplinary teachers, and the School Directors also widened their eyes.
“The radiance is flowing out!” The homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng was thoroughly flabbergasted. After being a teacher for so many years, how could he not see the meaning behind the overflowing radiance?
In this entire school, only Mu Bai had achieved the state of overflowing radiance. It was not just because the flames were already relatively bright, but the overflowing of the Fire radiance was even a bit stronger than Mu Bai’s Ice radiance!
_Damn!!!_
The surrounding students from other classes, and the students from the eight class were all trampled to near death by the word ‘Damn!’ in their hearts.
_Overflowing radiance, this really is overflowing radiance!_
A student who was considered a weak-minded dreg had actually achieved the state of overflowing radiance!!
“S…S？”
“It’s S…it really seems to be S.”
“How about...how about we inspect it once more?”
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 honor 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 Magician 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!
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 radiance, the overflowing radiance of the Fire element. That was already one level ahead of Mu Bai, who had received resources from his family.
For some reason, Mu Ningxue’s heart bloomed with a sunshine that was like the overflowing radiance coming from the Fire element.
“That really causes one to feel extremely shocked. I almost missed out on an even more remarkable student,” a school director exclaimed in admiration 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 B while also causing our school to lose out on such a prominent Magician.”
“Better late than never! Mrs. Tangyue, we are really grateful to your ability to spot details!”
As Mrs. Tangyue saw the School directors flattering her, she only returned a small smile. The truth was, even Tangyue herself was extremely surprised.
All this time, she had been thinking that the most outstanding Fire elemental student in her class was Zhoumin. But to everyone’s surprise, this Mo Fan was even more remarkable. The most important thing was that he had always been calmly cultivating, not having the need to compete nor laying himself b.a.r.e to others. This kind of temperament was very suitable for becoming a Magician.

Chapter 29 - A beautiful casting, Fire Burst!
The other Fire Elemental user, goody two shoes girl Zhou Min, looked at this overflowing radiance. 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 wasactually 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 was still the overflowing radiance. 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.
“S!”
“S!”
“S!”
“Final result is ‘S’!”
The highest score in school was S. However, everyone was very clear on the fact that the magical capabilities within Mo Fan’s Stardust were probably higher than Mu Bai by a bit.
“Mo Fan, do you wish to continue the exam?”
“Naturally!” Mo Fan gave the examiner a slight smile.
_This daddy, I, 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, the outcome is still good!_
Mo Fan naturally wanted to test his activation.
Weren't most of the people bitterly cultivating just so they can appear as that little golden idol in front of others, glinting and shining?
“Fire Burst!”
His entire aura was moving. After Mo Fan said his incantation, his whole bearing was very self-confident.
A searing aura frantically spread from the central point of Mo Fan’s body, washing over the cheeks of hundreds of people. The feel of the scorching heat was very distinct.
The Fire Star Path quickly mobilized around Mo Fan’s body after he finished the arrangement of the stars.
The obtrusive scarlet red and the staggering fire!
The flame scuttled forth from the half-clenched hand of Mo Fan, just like a vicious and impatient animal.
“Go!”
As he waved his hand, the flames streaked across the exam grounds like a dazzling scarlet fire arrow. It accurately made its way into the human-shaped puppet’s body.
“ _Burn!_ ”
He raised his hand up high. After a second of silence, the vicious fire suddenly blasted forth from inside the puppet’s body.
The more it burned, the more vicious it was. That raging fire engulfed the puppet in matter of seconds.
The reflection of the flames were visible on Mo Fan’s face. His face was smiling, and his confidence was soaring.
This was Fire Burst, the fire force he was in control of! There was no need to mention its charm!
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 S 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. Additionally, the speed he had completed it at was even faster than Mu Bai!
The Fire Element’s primary spell was much more violent than the Ice Element’s. That was why the reaction of the people was much more intense than Mu Bai’s Ice Spread after Mo Fan finished the casting of Fire Burst. Not only was it Mo Fan’s beautiful turnaround, but it was also because of the boundless power of his Fire Element aura.
“Give your marks,” Mo Fan glanced at the astonished examiners as he said this in a natural manner.
“A!”
“B!”
“A!”
The grades for the casting test were immediately announced.
As expected, Mo Fan’s grades were higher than Mu Bai’s.
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 S grade, and his grades for the activation test were the highest. If everything went well, then wouldn’t he be Number One 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 Magician 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 the greatest.
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 Magicians 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. After seeing Mo Fan exiting the examination ground, he opened his mouth to say, “Mo Fan, come here.”
Mo Fan glanced at Mu Zhuoyun, he wasn’t sure what this old scoundrel wanted from him.
With some hesitation, Mo Fan walked over in front of the directors. His eyes couldn’t help but take a glance at Mu Ningxue.
Damn, I haven’t seen this girl in so many years, how come she looks so… beautiful!
Mu Zhuoyun _hmpfed_.
Mu Ningxue also moved her gaze away.
Mo Fan also withdrew his gaze.
“You called?” Mo Fan raised his head and looked at the Mu Zhuoyun’s tall and sturdy physique.
In front of others, Mo 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 Mo Zhuoyun only emitted the aura of an old scoundrel.

Chapter 30 - Did Water Flood Your Brain?
“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!
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 hastily spoke to Mu He.
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 recruit the student who had no background. It seemed like he was a very understanding ruler.
……
“Mo Fan, why are you still startled? Hurry up and thank Master for his good grace,” Xue Musheng hastily urged Mo Fan.
Zhang Xiaohou, Lu Xiaobing, and Xu Qinglin were admiring him to no end.
In the past, Mo Fan was just a small, insignificant thing that one wouldn’t be able to find in the sea of people. In just a flash, he had become Mr. Perfect!
Mo Fan looked at Mu Zhuoyun who had a slight smile on his face; his own expression was quite startled.
Mo Fan regained his senses; he squished his lips together.
After a period had passed, Mo Fan finally opened his mouth, “Did your brain get flooded with water or something?”
