Chapter 2 Mo Fan's Awakening
Chapter 2 Mo Fan's Awakening
…………
The shock caused by Su Chen's awakening of the lightning element was like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, and the aftershocks lingered for a long time.
Next up was Mu Bai.
As a young master from a collateral branch of the Mu family, Mu Bai always considered himself elegant and noble. He walked confidently onto the podium and placed his hand on the Awakening Stone. As expected, an extremely cold aura spread from the Awakening Stone, even forming a thin layer of frost on the edge of the podium.
"Ice type! It's ice type!" Xue Musheng finally showed a relieved smile.
Mu Bai basked in the astonished gazes of his classmates, a smug smile playing on his lips. He subconsciously glanced at Su Chen, trying to spot jealousy or awe on Su Chen's face. However, Su Chen merely yawned listlessly, even picking at his ear.
Mu Bai's smile froze instantly, and he cursed inwardly: It's just luck that he awakened the lightning element. Without the support of huge resources, a commoner mage is destined not to go far!
The subsequent awakening ceremony, set against the backdrop of Su Chen's extremely cool purple lightning and Mu Bai's icy aura, seemed rather dull.
"Next up, Qiu Yueying!"
"Next up, Xu Qinglin!"
"Water system!"
"Light-based!"
"It's a water system again!"
As the gentle light that shone one after another on the podium came on, and as Xue Musheng announced with a hint of regret, the students below sighed.
Su Chen sat in his seat, legs crossed, mentally ranting: Tsk tsk, this is the legendary start of a water-spitting turtle and a human flashlight.
During this time, several prominent figures in the class made their appearances. For example, Zhao Kunsan, who had always disliked Mo Fan, awakened the wind element. Although it couldn't compare to the lightning and fire elements, it was still a decent support element. This made him practically smug as he stepped down from the podium, and he even gave a cold snort in the direction of Mo Fan and Su Chen.
Su Chen rolled his eyes, too lazy even to show any disdain. What was a beginner-level wind elementalist, barely able to withstand a breeze, trying to act all high and mighty?
Once I reach level three in lightning magic, one lightning strike will leave you completely disoriented.
Time passed second by second, and of the forty-eight students in the class, forty-seven had already completed their awakening.
"The last one, Mo Fan!" Xue Musheng's voice rang out, but there was little expectation in his tone.
After all, Mo Fan got in through connections, and his middle school entrance exam scores were almost at the bottom. In the eyes of most people, he was a complete academic failure.
"Fanzi, it's your turn. Go ahead and show these country bumpkins what a real genius is!" Su Chen patted Mo Fan hard on the back, his eyes gleaming with a strange light. *Hurry up, hurry up! My beginner level three lightning elemental skill is counting on you!*
Mo Fan took a deep breath and, ignoring the mocking or disdainful looks from his classmates, strode onto the podium.
"Tch, what good things can a mediocre student who got in through connections possibly awaken? What if he fails to awaken and then it becomes a real joke?" Zhao Kunsan mocked sarcastically.
"That's right, maybe they can't even sense the stardust." Several students who usually hung out with Mu Bai chimed in.
Mo Fan ignored the mockery. He slowly placed his hands on the slightly warm Awakening Stone, closed his eyes, and began to sense his spiritual world.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
"Holy crap! Someone in Class 7 next door has awakened their lightning element!!!"
Someone shouted something in the hallway, the sound was so penetrating that it instantly echoed throughout the entire floor.
"What?! Another lightning-type?!"
"A one in a thousand chance, and our school has two cases today?!"
"Go check it out! I heard it's Xu Zhaoting from Class 7!"
These words seemed to possess some kind of magic. The students of Class 8, who had been focused on Mo Fan's awakening, instantly swarmed out of the classroom like ants in a pot. Even their homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, couldn't contain his excitement. He quickly walked to the classroom door and leaned out to look towards Class 7 next door.
Lightning! That's the most destructive and domineering element among novice mages! Tianlan Magic High School is going to defy the heavens today!
In just a few seconds, almost everyone in Class 8's classroom was drawn to Xu Zhaoting from the next class.
Except for one person.
Su Chen sat steadily in his seat, arms crossed, eyes fixed on Mo Fan on the podium, a wildly arrogant smile playing on his lips.
*It's coming! The iconic scene is about to unfold!*
Just as the whole class was facing away from the podium, craning their necks to watch the commotion in the corridor, the awakening stone under Mo Fan's hand suddenly emitted a very faint hissing sound.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure and domineering purple light quietly bloomed in Mo Fan's palm. Several tiny purple arcs of electricity, like mischievous sprites, leaped and darted across the surface of the Awakening Stone.
Although it wasn't as violent as Su Chen's previous awakening, which directly shattered the blackboard, this was indeed lightning-type light!
Mo Fan suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the purple arcs of electricity beneath his hand.
Lightning... Lightning type?! I've awakened the Lightning type?!
Holy crap! God has finally opened his eyes! I'm not a loser! I'm a one-in-a-thousand lightning genius!
Mo Fan was trembling with excitement. He was about to shout out the exciting news to the whole class. But when he looked up, he found that all his classmates, including their homeroom teacher, were standing with their backs to him, crowding at the door to watch the spectacle.
In the entire classroom, only Su Chen was sitting in the back row, winking and grinning at him like a fox who had successfully stolen some fish.
Mo Fan opened his mouth, about to speak, but he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a force surging in his spiritual world!
It was an extremely hot and violent power, as if it wanted to ignite his soul!
"Buzz!!"
The purple arcs of electricity on the Awakening Stone instantly subsided, replaced by a dazzling red!
The red light grew stronger and stronger, like a raging fire, instantly illuminating the entire classroom! The intense heat radiated outwards from the podium.
"Holy crap! It's so hot!"
"What happened? Is there a fire?!"
Xue Musheng and his students, who were crowded at the door, finally sensed something was wrong behind them and turned around.
When they saw what was happening on the stage, everyone, including the self-important Mu Bai, was struck dumb, their eyes wide with disbelief, their jaws shattering.
Mo Fan stood on the platform, his hands resting on the Awakening Stone. The Awakening Stone was now emitting an extremely dazzling fiery red light!
The blazing flames even created a visible heat wave around Mo Fan!
