Chapter 176: Ghost in the Magic World - Prelude (10)
"Hey, hey, why are you two like this?" Duan Rong Yu protested when he saw Jun Lin and Xiang Kui stayed away from him.
"Put down that plank! Do you really think that we’re here for a comedy show?" Jun Lin was annoyed by Duan Rong Yu’s antics.
"But it’s very convenient!" Duan Rong Yu raised his chin towards the other students who were still looking in their direction from time to time. Now, their gazes were filled with hesitation and also confusion. "Look, they wouldn’t come any closer again."
Jun Lin laughed angrily and then walked behind Xiang Kui.
He refused to talk with Duan Rong Yu any longer.
"Hey Jun Lin, don’t be angry! Shang Kui, what do you think? Shang Kui? Don’t ignore me, ahhh."
Duan Rong Yu’s comical appearance made some students wonder if there was some screw looses inside Duan Rong Yu’s head. Even Bing Hong Xiang, who saw this scene, felt that he was watching a clown rather than a worthy rival.
This made Bing Hong Xiang frown and his face darkened considerably.
"Bing Hong Xiang?" Shang Xiyue called out.
"I know, I won’t make a move." Bing Hong Xiang snorted.
Right now, Bing Hong Xiang felt ashamed for knowing Duan Rong Yu. Especially being called Duan Rong Yu’s rival...
Haha, such a Duan Rong Yu, does he really deserve to be his rival?
Bing Hong Xiang really looked down on Duan Rong Yu right now.
But Duan Rong Yu himself didn’t care even if he were to know what Bing Hong Xiang was thinking. He was coaxing Jun Lin and Xiang Kui who tried their best to stay away from Duan Rong Yu.
"Ahem!" The teacher looked at the noisy students and felt his temple throbbed. Even though these children had grown up and would graduate soon, their actions were all still very childish.
This made him truly wonder whether they were ready to graduate or not.
"Teacher!"
The students, including Duan Rong Yu, immediately become good students who were quiet and gave a fawning smile on their face. Even Bing Hong Xiang had a solemn expression while Shang Xiyue also focused her attention on the teacher.
This was because their teacher came from the city governor’s lineage.
The city governor could be said to be the most powerful person in the entire city and also the one overseeing the entire city. Because this year had a lot of people from the powerful families, the city governor directly sent his nephew to be their head teacher.
The city governor’s nephew was actually a very powerful magician.
Being told to teach naughty children was really annoying and he didn’t really want to take over this job.
But it was the order.
So he had to restrain himself and taught them.
Of course, there were also times when he was really impatient when facing the children. Especially when he heard that Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang were fighting again. The teacher really wanted to throw these two students out of the school.
So after being punished repeatedly, the students had long known that if they didn’t want to suffer, they had to listen to the teacher’s words.
This time was not an exception.
"Alright, the first part is a standard theoretical test. You need to get pass 60 points to pass and you can’t cheat, not even with your magic." The teacher sneered. "If your theoretical foundation is not strong enough, how do you plan to develop your magic further in the future?"
The students were silent.
They had been preparing for this exam for a long time.
For many of them, as long as they passed 60 points, they would be able to pass the exam without any problem.
"If there’s any of your team members who didn’t pass, the rest of the team members can continue. However, if the total number of your team is less than three, you will have to either form a new team or wait until next year."
The teacher was stern about this.
Three people were already the bare minimum.
The main reason why the teachers told them to form a group of five was to prevent some students whose theoretical knowledge was low to hinder the others from participating in the practical exam.
Xiang Kui blinked her eyes and turned to look at Jun Lin.
"Don’t worry, none of us are weak in theoretical knowledge," Jun Lin said reassuringly.
"Tsk. Don’t underestimate me." Duan Rong Yu clicked his tongue once more. Even when it was theoretical knowledge, he and Bing Hong Xiang were still competing fiercely. So the two of them were at the top of the class at both theoretical and practical class.
Xiang Kui nodded. "Then I’m reassured."
"Good. Enter the classroom."
All students went to the examination room and everyone was seated based on their usual performance in school.
So Duan Rong Yu and Bing Hong Xiang were sitting side by side.
Looking at the two people who were eager to tear each other apart, Jun Lin silently took a step away and took the seat on the fourth place.
The third place?
It was Xiang Kui.
At this moment, Xiang Kui was glad that beside her was Duan Rong Yu while the first place was Bing Hong Xiang.
As for why this was the placement?
It was because in their last midterm exam, Bing Hong Xiang won by one point, making Duan Rong Yu so angry that they almost clashed in the middle of the class.
The fight position was right behind the first one and it was Shang Xiyue’s position.
Her theoretical knowledge was also very solid, but Shang Xiyue was not as good as Bing Hong Xiang.
But she liked this seat.
So Shang Xiyue never tried to get higher position and maintained this score.
Anyway, being on the second row and also behind Bing Hong Xiang meant that she could observe him well.
"Begin!"
With the teacher’s words, everyone started to work on their respective paper.
