"Which student is this?" the Headmaster asked.
Tianlan Magic High School had not seen a student with S-rank magic release in a long time, and he had never heard of such a student before.
"Headmaster, Headmaster, this is Jiang Yuan, a student from our Class Eight!" Xue Musheng jumped out, excitedly.
Jiang Yuan, who usually kept a low profile, brought him such a big surprise today. He had to take credit in front of the Headmaster.
Year-end bonus was secured!
This year's best teacher award was also secured!
"Excellent, excellent!" The Headmaster was very satisfied. Mu Zhuoyun, beside him, asked Mu Ningxue, "Ningxue, how was this student's performance?"
Jiang Yuan was indeed outstanding, but he had just started. Compared to the prodigies at Imperial Academy, Mu Ningxue could only say he was good.
She nodded slightly and said, "Good."
With not much emotional fluctuation, the Headmaster felt displeased. He was already the most outstanding student, yet he still couldn't impress Mu Ningxue.
"Jiang Yuan, right? You are much stronger than that Mo Fan. How about I give you some Water System resources, and you cultivate with my Mu Family disciples?" Mu Zhuoyun failed to win over Mo Fan, so he immediately turned his attention to Jiang Yuan.
Mu He interjected, "What is Mo Fan? Jiang Yuan, if you come to the Mu Family, the resources we give you will definitely be much more than what we give Mo Fan!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he spoke, how could Mo Fan, with his fiery temper, hold back? He immediately jumped out and pointed at Mu He's nose, cursing loudly:
"What are you, you piece of trash! I wasn't even going to bother with a petty person like you, but you ran out to spew nonsense yourself. You're truly shameless!"
"Mo Fan, calm down." Jiang Yuan, sweating, pulled Mo Fan back, stating his own stance: "Thank you, Mu Family Head, for your kind offer. I'm still more accustomed to meditating alone."
"Alright, alright, alright!"
He had extended the olive branch twice today, and both times he was rejected without hesitation. Even if Mu Zhuoyun had great composure, the expression on his face became very unsightly at this moment.
He glared at Mo Fan and Jiang Yuan: "Tianlan Magic High School has indeed produced two outstanding students. I, as a school board member, am very pleased!"
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Leaving the school leaders looking at each other.
After his assessment, Jiang Yuan didn't want to stay and watch others, so he turned and left the trial grounds.
Mo Fan followed him: "Jiang Yuan, you didn't have to refuse for my sake just now. The Mu Family's resources are still very important to you."
"I did that because I have some grievances with the Mu Family," Mo Fan added.
Mo Fan obviously misunderstood, and Jiang Yuan didn't intend to explain. He smiled and said, "I have some money, so I'm not really short on resources."
"Huh?" Mo Fan asked curiously, "How come it feels like you have a lot of money?"
"A little savings."
Jiang Yuan said, "I joined the City Hunter Squad, and I can get a lot of remuneration. Do you want to join too? If you apply with your Thunder, basically no team will refuse."
He planned to bring Mo Fan in, after all, he would still need Mo Fan's help in the future to have a greater chance of facing the Bo City disaster.
"A lot of remuneration?" Mo Fan's eyes lit up.
Mo Fan knew best how short he was on resources; he was constantly worried about making money, and he would be even more worried as he gained more systems.
As soon as he heard that the City Hunter Squad could make money, he wished he could join right away.
Jiang Yuan didn't delay and actually dragged Mo Fan to find Captain Xu Dahuang.
For a small place like Bo City, the importance of a Thunder Mage was self-evident. Therefore, upon seeing that Mo Fan had Thunder, Xu Dahuang agreed without a word.
With the City Hunter Squad matter settled, the two returned to school at the same time.
"You're not going to go find Teacher Tang Yue again, are you?" Mo Fan looked at Jiang Yuan, his face full of heartache.
It was as if something important had been snatched away.
"What's with that expression?" Jiang Yuan found it amusing: "Didn't you say Mu Ningxue is your main wife, and you took her first kiss? Why are you still thinking about Teacher Tang Yue?"
First, let me clarify.
Jiang Yuan was absolutely not someone who coveted beauty.
Teacher Tang Yue was just a little intellectual, a little sexy, a little mature. In terms of appearance, she was the type many men liked.
He himself was just trying to learn a little more knowledge, which was why he would go to Tang Yue for extra tutoring whenever he had nothing to do.
For example, international languages, which were essential foreign languages for going abroad in the future.
What was wrong with learning foreign languages with Teacher Tang Yue?
"Fine." Mo Fan gave up.
"I really don't understand how you study. You've finished high school theoretical knowledge and you're still learning more profound knowledge. I, for one, can't study it. Practical magic suits me better."
Jiang Yuan smiled without speaking.
He was so keen on learning magic theory knowledge, besides being very interested in theory.
It was also to deepen his understanding of magic, making his cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
And there was the most important point.
That was, Fusion Magic required theoretical knowledge to be created by him.
Fusion Magic was originally inspired by Feng Zhoulong from the lowly craftsman, and finally found a breakthrough point in the Four-Colored Demon, a sea monster, and was officially created.
Feng Zhoulong was killed by Su Lu, and Mo Fan became the sole inheritor.
When Mo Fan avenged Feng Zhoulong, he spoke about the theory of Fusion Magic at the Asia Magic Association.
It required drawing a storage vortex in the spiritual space, placing the pre-drawn magic into it, then drawing another magic, and finally merging them together.
It sounded simple, but the principle could not be clearly explained by him.
It should be known that it involved spiritual space, and a slight carelessness could easily cause irreversible damage.
Therefore, Jiang Yuan needed enough theoretical knowledge to try to achieve Fusion Magic.
If given the chance, he would also go to the Magic Research Institute in Demon Capital to discuss it with Feng Zhoulong.
In short, he wanted Fusion Magic to be created ahead of time.
…
Mo Fan returned to the dormitory, while Jiang Yuan went to Tang Yue's teacher's apartment.
The teachers at Tianlan Magic High School had excellent benefits: single apartments, free food and lodging, and many other perks.
"Jiang Yuan, congratulations on taking first place today." As soon as she opened the door, Tang Yue saw it was Jiang Yuan and immediately congratulated him.
She knew how excellent the student in front of her was in magic theory, and she hadn't expected his talent in practical magic to be so good.
He truly brought too many surprises.
Tang Yue had just returned from the trial grounds and hadn't even had time to take off her uniform, exuding the scent of a mature woman.
Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on Tang Yue's black stockings: "Teacher, I have a few questions about cultivation… Um… Teacher, your stockings are snagged."
"Okay, huh?" Tang Yue had just nodded when she heard the latter part of his sentence. She subconsciously looked down, and her stockings were indeed snagged.
The snag extended from the inner calf all the way above the thigh, hidden by the bodycon skirt, making one's imagination run wild.
Tang Yue was suddenly flustered and hurriedly closed the door.
"Wait for me, Teacher!"
