Versatile Mage

“Mo Fan, are you seriously going to let it go like that?” Zhao Manyan said angrily.

“Of course not, she was humiliating me just then. Why don’t you help me and beat that old woman up? Don’t overdo it; loosening her remaining teeth will do,” Mo Fan replied.

“Well… I think we should just forget about it, she’s at the peak of the Super Level,” Zhao Manyan was much too frightened to try anything so rash.

“Then what the hell were you complaining for!?” Mo Fan had enough of Zhao Manyan’s perfect hindsight.

“Why don’t we ask Mu Bai to mix some drugs and put it in her meal…” Zhao Manyan asked softly.

Mo Fan looked at Zhao Manyan blankly and said, “Zhao Manyan, you’re a f**king genius.”

“Hehe, I just can’t stand what she did,” Zhao Manyan said.

“Then can you please go harm the pure innocent girls of this school?” Mo Fan said in a displeased tone.

“Not a problem, I might not be able to help with other things, but that is my area of expertise!” Zhao Manyan combed the fringe in front of his forehead coquettishly.

Mo Fan was not in a good mood. Even though the mental pressure from Headmistress Perry had allowed his mental strength to improve significantly once again and he was very close to achieving the sixth stage, he was annoyed and infuriated by what she had done. There was no way he would let it go so easily!

While the two were talking, Mu Bai came into the room. His windbreaker was covered in quite some snow. He spoke without dusting the snow off, “I knew it.”

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan looked at him. They were slightly confused, but had some anticipation at the same time.

Mu Bai was gone for some time. They thought some gorgeous young woman in the Alps Institute had hooked him away, but he was actually busy investigating. Seeing him covered in snow with a stern and helpless expression like he had learned the truth, and the way he blurted out the words as soon as he came in, felt like he was here to save the world!

“You knew who did it?” Mo Fan asked.

“I know why my drug didn’t work,” Mu Bai said seriously.

“Go f**k yourself!”

It was going to take the Casas another five days to arrive, but to Headmistress Perry’s surprise, they had shifted the trip to an earlier date. Headmistress Perry tried to find an excuse to postpone the visit, but she was told they were already at the bottom of the mountain!

Mo Fan and the others went along to receive the Alps Institute’s new guests. To their discontent, the representatives of the Casas did not have to wear the magic bracelets.

Such obvious discrimination. Mo Fan only found out that Headmistress Perry had not wanted the Pearl Institute to visit them at this time, since they had more important guests to attend to!

“It really feels terrible. Aren’t they only from the biggest renowned clan in Europe? They aren’t necessarily richer than I am!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed, quite displeased.

The Zhao Clan was known at the international level. Every major city had auctions and marketplaces under their name. The Zhao Clan was in charge of many magic resources, but Zhao Manyan had been living like a fuerdai for a long time. Authorities across the world only knew who Zhao Youqian was, they might not even know who Zhao Manyan really was.

Unfortunately, Zhao Manyan was reluctant to mention Zhao Youqian’s name especially after what he had done. He would rather be a mere student and live a free life.

“Yo! Isn’t this… isn’t that Mo Fan? I didn’t think I would be meeting the luckiest person in the world today! This is going to make the visit a lot more interesting!” a tall man with brown-golden hair and an eye-catching hairstyle said to Mo Fan in a strange voice.

Mo Fan looked at the guy with a special hairstyle. He was slightly amused, apart from feeling a little surprised and disgusted.

“Isn’t this Prince Beny? How unlucky am I to be meeting you here?…” Mo Fan replied.

Prince Beny’s lips twisted. He was clearly not on the same level as Mo Fan when it came to arguing verbally. Mo Fan did not have to protect his image and pretend to be well-educated. He could say anything he wanted, but Prince Beny, as a public figure, would have to mind his words and behavior.

Prince Beny did not say anything in return. He walked away in an aloof manner, but suddenly halted in his tracks when he caught a glimpse of Zhao Manyan.

Zhao Manyan was staring at Prince Beny, too. The two froze on the spot, a strange atmosphere between them.

A few seconds later, they both had utterly disgusted faces.

The others tried their best not to laugh watching them…

Perhaps because they had both read the same fashion magazine, they somehow ended up with the same hairstyle. The highlight of the hairstyle was clearly the coquettish fringe in front of their foreheads. It was meant to make them look charming, but it felt so awkward seeing both of them with the same hairstyle that the snow nearby almost melted.

“Who’s the guy?” a man with an elegant voice asked from the middle of the group. He was wearing a luxurious white coat with golden-blue embroidery and a gentry hat with a decoration that resembled a peacock’s tails fanned in front of his forehead. The man had a handsome face, with distinct facial features.

“Mo Fan, the guy that luckily came in first during the World College Tournament, after beating the petty Egyptians,” Prince Beny answered.

“Oh, that’s interesting,” Herr Casa said.

“Young duke, if I’m not mistaken, you were the strongest participant during the previous tournament,” Headmistress Perry smiled gently.

“That little achievement isn’t worth mentioning, but I do feel like the participants this year weren’t that impressive. I only glimpsed a few matches, but I was quite amused by how the Egyptians were able to dominate the tournament,” Herr Casa said.

“Indeed, allow me to introduce the most brilliant student of our school, Heidi!” Headmistress Perry pointed at Heidi and said, “Heidi, you won’t have to follow the exchange students from now on. Bring the young duke around the school if you have the time.”

Heidi opened her mouth. She was obviously going to say something, but Headmistress Perry immediately gave her a menacing look. She had no choice but to nod.

“I’ve been looking forward to meeting you,” Herr Casa reached out his hand and looked at Heidi with a smile. He seemed to be more interested in the girl.

Heidi politely responded to the gesture without saying a word.

Ceylan was currently in a very awkward position. Heidi was her student. She initially planned to have Heidi accompany Professor Li and the others. After all, the Pearl Institute had sent Mo Fan, their most talented student, here. It was more appropriate to have Heidi accompany them instead. To her surprise, Headmistress Perry had allocated Heidi to the Casas instead!

“There’s no need to introduce the others. I’m not interested at all. I’m feeling a little tired,” Herr Casa said.

“Oh, alright. Miss Malan, can you bring the young duke and his people to Snow Moon Castle so they can take a rest? I heard the young duke likes smoked venison, we’ve specifically prepared some…” Headmistress Perry said.
