' A system that's amazing'
'So the reason I have two elements is because of Innate Talent? I didn't know that was possible. Wait a minute, what the hell is a betrayal system? Do I have to go around betraying people and become a scoundrel?'
[ The system is simple, every time an ally or a friend betrays the host, the system will produce suitable rewards.]
' That's not any better, what kind of person gets betrayed all the time, do I have to be ragebaiter?'
[ Note: System defines five positions for other people: Friend, Ally, Neutral, Opponent and Enemy.
These positions are determined by a variety of reasons, like relationship, ideology, or factionalism. For example, the entire military of your nation is your ally, but due to guild like set up of the Magic Association, only the one in which you are a resident of will be considered your ally in a normal case, while the rest of them are Neutral at best.
Naturally, only Friends and Allies can commit true 'betrayal' and will be rewarded. Goading them to do so will not yield any rewards unless they intended to commit such an act in the first place.]
' Who would design such a sus system?'
[ Host is free to bring up your complaints to the System Regulatory Commission]
'Oh, how do I do that?'
[ Simple, after the host dies again, there will be a survey about the system's performance and feedback.]

Mo Fan quickly cast his mind back to the magic, since his system was mostly useless, he listened to Xue Musheng drone on about the year end exam and practicals and so on. The top students of the school were expected to reach Tier 2 in primary magic by the end of their third year.
According to what Zhang Xiaohou told him, that was still below the level expected from freshmen in the top universities like Pearl Institute in Shanghai.
Mo Fan wondered if he should reveal his talent and claim some extra resources from the school. Although he didn't like to be constrained or be told what to do, as a public institution, Tian Lan should be fine with that, was his reasoning.
And Mo Fan couldn't afford to fail; his father had already sold their house to give him the opportunity to awaken magic, while his sister Xinxia couldn't walk. Mo Fan wanted to buy her a magic tool capable of flight in the future, and for all these things, it would be better if he received some resources.
But on the other side, he knew that Mu Family, led by Mu Zhuoyun, had a very dominant position in Bo City, so much so that even his brother Mu He could shove Mo Fan into the school without any problems.
This ultimately discouraged him, as the fact remained that Mu Family, except Mu Ningxue, were all Enemies to him, there weren't even any Opponents, meaning they saw him as an eyesore and nothing more.
(His own judgement, the System won't reveal the standpoints of others before an event)
Thus, the days passed in this manner. Mo Fan was surprised that he could meditate and cultivate for more than ten hours a day and wrongly attributed it to his transmigration and Innate Talent, while it was a combination of Spiritual Strength and the Little Loach Pendant being a Cultivation tool as well.
Zhao Kunsan sent some thugs to make life difficult for Mo Fan. Mo Fan cut a deal with them quite amicably after displaying some Lightning Magic. Mo Fan also decided to focus on a single element and cast a spell rather than divert his attention.
By the end of the first semester, his Lightning spell was usable while his Fire cultivation was lacking. This confused Tang Yue, the new Practical Magic teacher, who, as an Intermediate Mage, could sense that Mo Fan's cultivation should be better, yet the Fire System badge he wore indicated he could only control two stars.
But as a law abiding person, it only made her pay some attention to him and not much else. But that was enough to annoy his classmates and especially Mu Bai, who had a chip on his shoulder because Mu Ningxue liked him and wanted to crush him.
Mu He organised a plan to get Mo Fan kicked out of Tian Lan High and help his 'nephew', while secretly seeing some suitability in Mu Bai to join the Black Vatican.
