Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 8: Enrollment Awakening
The high school entrance ceremony is perhaps the time when all students are the most honest. Everyone knows that the entrance ceremony is the time for magic awakening. Any student who is interested in magic will not cause any trouble on this day.

On the big magic training ground, the freshmen of Tianlan Magic High School stood upright, staring at the Awakening Stone floating quietly on the platform without blinking. The old principal's encouragement made the inexperienced freshmen even more eager for the future path of magic, and they couldn't contain their curiosity and excitement.

Li Yu, who was standing in the queue of Class 8, behaved similarly to the others. His eyes had long been blank and his thoughts were drifting to who knows where, until the magic awakening began.

"First one, Mu Bai!"

"Student Mu Bai, please go up to the stage and awaken."

After Xue Musheng called the roll, Mu Bai, who was dressed formally, tidied up his appearance with great satisfaction, and walked towards the podium with his head held high, with the confidence and flamboyance common to children from aristocratic families.

"Mu Bai, you are a descendant of the Mu family, right? Put your hand on it."

Xue Musheng said with a smile. He had high expectations for Mu Bai. Children of aristocratic families and common people are almost two different worlds. The magical talent of the former is generally not too bad.

Mu Bai's expression was unusually serious. According to his Mu family's bloodline, the possibility of awakening the ice element was very high, but there were also risks of other elements.

By awakening the ice element, he will be eligible to receive more family resources, but if he awakens to other elements, he will be excluded from the core of the family forever, and it will be much more difficult for him to get in.

The ice system and the others are like one step to heaven and one step to hell.

As the light frost spread to the podium, Mu Bai felt relieved, followed by joy. Xue Musheng also praised him with satisfaction:
"Ice type, you have good talent. Mu Bai, keep working hard!"

"Thank you teacher."

Restraining his inner ecstasy, Mu Bai thanked Xue Musheng and returned to his seat. However, when Mu Bai's contemptuous and complacent gaze shifted to the back row, the scene in his eyes directly diluted the joy of awakening the ice element.

That damned Mo Fan, the hooligans whom he wanted to show off to others and tell them the huge gap between them, had empty eyes and was obviously distracted. Without pretending to be good in front of him, Mu Bai felt that his life was incomplete.

Mu Bai walked back angrily, even ignoring the congratulations from Zhao Kunsan and other followers beside him. Li Yu, who had seen everything, was amused and laughed secretly:
"Mu Bai is such a miserable kid!"

Li Yu could tell from the beginning that Mu Bai and the classmate named Mo Fan hated each other. The former looked at the latter with hatred and as if he was looking at trash, without any concealment at all.

Isn't it a frustration not to be able to show your superiority in front of the people you hate the most?
Just like that, the students took turns to go on stage under Xue Musheng's call: earth element, ice element, water element, wind element...

Li Yu was very satisfied watching the scene of nearly fifty students awakening their magic. During this time, there were a few "big talkers" who awakened the light and water systems. Some of them talked about going to the rooftop, but turned around and huddled together for warmth.

Li Yu couldn't empathize with the despair of those people, but he could understand it. The vast majority of students at Tianlan Magic High School were from ordinary families, and Mu Bai was the only one from an aristocratic family, and he was from a side branch.

Their family background is not good, and the magic system they awakened is still the weak light and water system in the early stage, which makes it extremely difficult to accumulate resources for cultivation. If nothing unexpected happens, most of them will be blocked before becoming a mid-level magician until the moment of death.

But there are some guys who look interesting.

One of them is a short guy named Zhang Xiaohou who has awakened the wind element. As his name suggests, he looks very smart. The other one is a girl of the fire element. She looks weak and gentle like a good girl. People around her say that she is a "Lin Daiyu" with "strength to pull mountains and courage to conquer the world."

As time went by, fewer and fewer students remained awake, until,
"No. 48, Mo Fan!"

Li Yu found that Mo Fan seemed very unwelcome. Except for Zhang Xiaohou who had a good relationship with him, everyone else looked at him strangely, especially Zhao Kunsan, Mu Bai's subordinate.

Hiss, Li Yu suddenly realized that the brother named Zhao Kunsan was quite active. He was everywhere and was a die-hard fan of Mu Bai. Even though his family worked at Mu's Enterprise, they didn't flatter him like this!
However, Li Yu didn't like this Mo Fan very much. He heard that he was a poor student with single-digit scores in the mock exams. He was quite skeptical about this. Mo Fan didn't look like a moron with an IQ defect, but his single-digit scores in the exams were really incomprehensible.

But no matter what, admission through the backdoor is an established fact.

What did you do early? !

For some reason, Li Yu decided to open his eyes and see what kind of system this Mo Fan had awakened.

But soon Li Yu frowned, and his opinion of Mo Fan dropped again. Compared with others, Mo Fan was a magic novice who didn't even know the operating procedures of magic awakening. Isn't this necessary knowledge before entering magic high school?

He was also confused! Brother, since you have used the backdoor to enter the magic high school to study magic, you should correct your attitude! You can learn something during the two-month vacation!

Finally, after some twists and turns, Mo Fan officially began to awaken. Li Yu stared at him intently, and then he heard an excited roar from next door.

"Thunder Element, someone has awakened the Thunder Element."

Then, from the teachers to the students, they all rushed towards Class 7. They were even more excited than when he awakened his lightning attribute. However, Li Yu just sat there motionless, as if everyone had the lightning attribute. Isn’t there another thing…

Ok?
Purple, thunder element, the boy is lucky, and this thunder element talent looks good.

Then, a terrifying scene occurred.

Following the purple lightning, flames ignited again in Mo Fan's palm, the fire element!

"Fuck me!"

Li Yu screamed subconsciously, and was heard by other people who had returned.

"Fire Element! Mo Fan has awakened the Fire Element!"

The voice was full of envy, as if asking why he was not the one to awaken the fire element.

"It's the Fire Department, so what are you shouting about? You look like an inexperienced person." The speaker was Zhao Kunsan again, the loyal mouthpiece of Mu Bai, the young master of the Mu family.

Mo Fan was a little confused! Today's experience almost gave him a heart attack. He originally thought that awakening the fire element would be enough, but he didn't expect to awaken the lightning element! Mo Fan, who already had some common sense about the rarity and power of the lightning element, naturally understood it. He was excited and thought that he could show off his power in front of everyone and blind the titanium alloy dog ​​eyes of everyone in the class!

What do you think? Do you look down on me? I have awakened the Lightning Element! I just want to ask if you are angry or not!
Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared, and the class next door happened to have a thunder master, who attracted all the audience.

Just when he thought it was over, God kicked him unexpectedly and he suddenly awakened his fire element.

Dual system? I've never heard of it. Mo Fan's limited knowledge of magic meant he couldn't understand it.

As for being mistaken for having awakened the fire element, Mo Fan thought it was no big deal, he could just play the pig and eat the tiger!
When the time comes, he will use lightning in one hand and fire in the other, to let Mu Bai and his group of people who look down on others see how powerful Mo Fan is.

However, at this moment, he turned around and found a pair of eyes staring at him intently.

Shit, even pretending to be a pig and trying to eat the tiger is no longer possible.

Fortunately, Li Yu did not expose his dual system, so there is still hope.

Mo Fan spent the morning in a daze. As soon as school was over, he sent his childhood friend Zhang Xiaohou away and went to find Li Yu.

"Congratulations, you have awakened both systems."

Straight to the point, Li Yu expressed his blessings.

"Thank you."

Mo Fan also confidently accepted Li Yu's kindness, thanked him and directly stated his purpose.

"Help you hide the secret of being born with two elements?"

To Mo Fan's surprise, Li Yu agreed very straightforwardly.

"No problem, I won't tell anyone."

"You should be careful too. Exposing your natural talent may not necessarily be a good thing for a helpless civilian."

Li Yu offered his own advice.

"Natural talent?"

Mo Fan's Xiaobai made Li Yu sigh.

"Brother, you don't even know about your natural talent, your reserve of magical knowledge is simply desert-level!"

"This one……"

If it was an enemy like Mu Bai and Zhao Kunsan, or a close friend with whom he had a good relationship, Mo Fan would have confronted him on the spot, but he was not familiar with Li Yu and could sense Li Yu's good intentions, so he could not scold him and could only make a joke to brush the matter off.

"You can go to the library to look up records about natural talents. Your dual system should be a type of natural talent."

Li Yu did not dwell too much on Mo Fan's "illiteracy" and told him the relevant information he knew.

"Magicians with natural talents have always been popular. If you are willing, you can definitely join a large force with your natural talents. Then you probably won't have to worry about training resources for the rest of your life."

"Of course, I don't recommend you do that."

"why?"

Mo Fan had no plans to join any forces for the time being, he just asked casually.

Li Yuze did his best to tell everything he knew.
"Do you think that big forces are just charity organizations? Joining a big force, especially a family like the Mu family in Bo City, is almost equivalent to selling yourself to them. If you can endure being treated as a slave in the future, just ignore what I said."

"No way."

Mo Fan was furious when he heard about the Mu Clan. Everything he had been through till now was caused by the Mu Clan. It would be better for him to be a slave to the Mu Clan than to live on his own...

No, it can’t be broken!

If it breaks, dad Mo Jiaxing might never be able to get back on his feet again, and Xinxia...

Just like that, in a very short time, Mo Fan completed his self-reconciliation.

Li Yu didn't know what was going on in Mo Fan's mind, but he had said what he needed to say.

"Anyway, the choice is yours. Good luck."

"Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome."
