Chapter 8 Mo Fan Passes the Imperial Examination
In the final month before the magic entrance exam, Mo Fan was studying like his life depended on it, spending every day in the library studying magic theory and the complete encyclopedia of demons...
Besides, Mo Fan learned about his "big brother" who appeared out of nowhere from other acquaintances, and only then did he realize how pathetic he was in this world!
(Let's call the experience in the scientific world my past life.) In my past life, I had a concubine at home and eloped with the eldest daughter of the Mu family, living a carefree life. In this world, my concubine was abducted, and my first wife was even worse off; I'd only met her a few times, let alone eloped with her.
A few days ago, he wanted to give Ye Xinxia a loving hug, but she resisted vehemently, so in the end, he had to give up.
Waaah, I miss the way Xin Xia used to call me "Brother Mo Fan" in her sweet voice in my past life, and how adorable she looked.
The only consolation was that he hadn't eloped with Mu Ningxue like in his previous life, and his father hadn't suffered the humiliation he had in his previous life.
Two days before the high school entrance exam, Ling Tianyu specially compiled some must-know magic question types to help Mo Fan make a final push, which was also his way of making up for Mo Fan's shortcomings.
Outside Shuilan Middle School, a light rain was falling. The school gate was crowded with parents, their faces wet with tears and filled with tension and expectation.
In a world where most magical resources are firmly controlled by powerful families, the magic entrance exam may be the only way out for commoner children. Though seemingly unattainable, a glimmer of hope still burns in the distance.
"Ding ding ding!"
With the last subject exam over, all candidates consciously followed the instructions of the invigilators and handed in their exam papers in an orderly manner.
"Mu Bai, you must have done very well on the exam this time!" A fat man with a face full of scars said eagerly to the man next to him whose face, hair, and appearance could be described as god-like.
"Of course! Mu Bai's grades are among the best in the entire grade!" a pretty boy said enviously.
Mu Bai glanced around and saw Mo Fan standing silently not far away. He said meaningfully, "It's a pity that some people are destined to spend their whole lives pulling a broken-down cart like their fathers!"
The three spoke very arrogantly, and Mo Fan heard their sarcastic remarks clearly.
"Brother Fan, are you alright?" Mud Monkey asked with some concern.
"It's nothing!" Mo Fan waved his hand dismissively; these people were nothing but clowns. "If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back?"
Mu Bai happened to be passing by Mo Fan and heard those words clearly. His face turned green with anger.
"Very good, let's wait and see if you'll still be so arrogant when the high school entrance exam results come out!"
Mo Fan has never won a study contest, but he's never lost an argument. Mu Bai is incredibly unlucky to have crossed paths with him.
Ling Tianyu ignored the argument between the people and left the examination room on his own. In his opinion, these questions were nothing more than children playing house, and they posed no challenge whatsoever.

A few days later...
"Ling Tianyu, I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant!"
"Ahem, Mo Fan, the way you're acting is very easy for people to misunderstand!" Ling Tianyu looked at the boy in front of him speechlessly.
"Brother Fan is pregnant!" Zhang Xiaohou joked.
"Hey monkey, what did you say?!" Mo Fan glared at Zhang Xiaohou, annoyed, and then said, "I meant I've reached the cutoff score for Magic High School!"
"Come on, it's on me, Mo Fan, for today's expenses. Don't be shy!" Mo Fan pointed to the unsanitary barbecue stall in front of him, waved his hand, and said generously.
"Uh... just say you don't have money, I'm afraid I'll get diarrhea the next day..." Zhang Xiaohou shrank back fearfully.
"What's dirty won't make you sick! Don't be a coward! Hey, why are you running away!"
…………
The summer after the magic entrance exam was a time of shared joy and sorrow. Those who excelled threw lavish banquets, beaming with happiness as they received their tickets to the magic hall. Those who failed were filled with despair, their parents begging for help and exhausting their savings. Most of them, like the previous generation, could only settle for mediocrity.
Perhaps some of them will regret their past laziness. If only they had known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?
