There were twenty different classes that would conduct the awakening.
Mo Fan was number 48; he would be the last person to receive the awakening.
The Homeroom Teacher, who was also their Magic Advisor, Xue Musheng, was already standing at the very front. The awakening would be conducted in front of numerous people. The student's name was called out, and then they would go up front to place their hands on the Awakening Stone in front of the Magic Advisor.
“Hey, the-one-who-entered-through-the-backdoor, you’re not gonna fail the awakening are you? I heard that there are certain incapable people who fail the awakening. A dreg like you should just stop wasting the energy of the expensive Awakening Stone,” on a different line up, an old classmate of Mo Fan, Zhao Kunsan said.
Zhao Kunsan was Mu Bai’s henchman. Mu Bai personally didn’t bully Mo Fan because of his background, so instead, he primarily used Zhao Kunsan to do it.
It was actually possible for the awakening to fail, so Mo Fan was genuinely worried about this part. Strictly speaking he was… yeah, a person who had crossed from a different plane. If his physical body was different from the people from here, then that’d be one of hell of a joke.
“Brother Mo Fan, just ignore this jerk. Wait until you awaken a Fire element and show him. Then he’ll know the meaning behind the phrase, ‘Look down on people from a dog’s eyes.[1]’” Zhang Hou, who was placed in the same class as Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan didn’t say anything. If it was a different day, he would’ve thrown all sorts of insults at Henchman Zhao Kunsan, however, he wasn’t in the mood today. On one hand, it was because he was truly very nervous. While on the other hand, he didn’t know why the black pendant he wore around his neck was incessantly shaking.
The black colored pendant was the remnant of the backdoor gatekeeper of his old middle school, Old Man Ying. Mo Fan suspected that this ring was the reason behind the great changes in the world. That day, Mo Fan was wearing this pendant when he fell asleep on the mountain behind his school.
Ever since this morning the broken pendant had been acting like it was possessed, constantly trembling. It shook so much that it made his own hand shake without stopping.
Screw your mother! Why do you keep shaking?? You’re just a stupid pendant, so why aren’t you acting like the pendant you are?!
“Mu Bai!” the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, called out.
“Oh, so that’s Mu Bai. He is indeed very handsome, and his grades are the top as well.”
“Yeah, I saw him this morning, I like it. I wonder what kind of element he’ll awaken? I reckon it won’t be crap elements like Water or Light, will it?”
Mu Bai stood up and immediately heard a few girls in his class chattering incessantly about him. At same time, he also attracted starry-eyed infatuations from other classes.
Mu Bai wore an indifferent expression. His eyes, however, revealed that he was enjoying others discussing him. He walked to the front and stood before the homeroom teacher, a humble and confident smile on his face.
“Mu Bai, you’re from the Mu Family who is renowned for their Ice element right?” Xue Musheng asked with a slight smile.
“Precisely.”
“Good, if you awaken the ice element, then you will be superior compared to others. However, don’t forget to put in effort too. After all, talent isn’t the decisive aspect to everything.”
