Chapter 5 Jiang Han, who was manipulated
One outgoing girl whispered, "I really like this handsome and talented guy."
"Ah, I can hardly control my legs anymore."
Compared to Jiang Han, Mu Bai from the Mu family suddenly seems less appealing.
"Yeah, I think so too. Mu Bai isn't as handsome as Jiang Han, and his talent isn't as good either."
The girls' whispers reached Mu Bai's ears, and he felt as if countless knives had been plunged into his heart; his face turned extremely pale. Jiang Han passed by Mu Bai, smiled without saying a word, yet it was as if he had said a great deal.
After watching Jiang Han return to his seat, Xue Musheng cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let's begin class! Today's topic is..."
······
Summer has passed and autumn has arrived. Two months have gone by in the blink of an eye. The weather is getting colder, and yellowing leaves are constantly flying in the air outside the classroom.
Inside the audiovisual classroom, Xue Musheng pointed to the stardust model projected on the screen and said, "See that? That's stardust."
"After you awaken your magic, stardust will appear in your spiritual world. There are seven stars in the stardust, and they will move around freely in the stardust. If you concentrate your mind to control them and make them stop one by one to form a star orbit, then you will be able to release the first level of basic magic."
"If any step in controlling the planets goes wrong, the whole thing will be lost, and we'll have to start all over again. Therefore, in controlling the planets, we must connect all seven planets into a star orbit in one go."
Xue Musheng was explaining the conditions for releasing a basic level one spell on the podium, and the students below were all listening attentively.
"Jiang Han, come up here and demonstrate your star control to everyone," Xue Musheng said gently.
Jiang Han, who was sitting in the back row with Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou, said lazily after hearing Xue Musheng's words, "Teacher, it wouldn't be very interesting for me to demonstrate. I can already cast basic magic, so there's nothing interesting about it. Why don't you let Mu Bai demonstrate?"
Mu Bai, who was sitting at the front, immediately darkened his face. "You, Jiang Han, don't like what you want, so you push it onto me. What do you take me for?"
Xue Musheng thought about it and agreed. Jiang Han was the most talented in the class, followed by Mu Bai. Mu Bai could now barely control five stars, so he was indeed more suitable than Jiang Han to demonstrate star control to the students.
"Alright, Mu Bai, come up here and demonstrate star control to everyone."
Mu Bai reluctantly got up, composed himself, and walked towards the podium.
Upon arriving at the podium, Mu Bai's consciousness entered the spiritual world, emanating sky-blue starlight. He materialized stardust between his hands, and through his will, he controlled the stars in the stardust to neatly arrange them into star trails—one, two, three, four, five. When he controlled the sixth star, the five stars he had previously controlled suddenly vanished.
"Teacher, I've only cultivated up to the fifth level so far," Mu Bai said, feigning modesty.
Xue Musheng patted Mu Bai on the shoulder and said, "Yes, very good. Mu Bai is the fastest cultivator among you besides Jiang Han. He can already control five stars. I believe it won't be long before he can also release the initial-level magic Ice Vine."
"Therefore, you should take Jiang Han and Mu Bai as your role models and work hard."
As Xue Musheng finished speaking, the students looked enviously at Jiang Han in the back row and Mu Bai on the podium, whispering among themselves.
"Mu Bai is so amazing, he can actually control five stars. I only have two now."
"What's Mu Bai compared to Jiang Han? He's the real expert. He can already cast beginner-level spells."
"Damn, how can we compare to Jiang Han? He's a prodigy; there's no way we can compare to him."
"Yeah, if we were Jiang Hanbi, we might as well be dead."
Mu Bai was in a good mood after being praised by Xue Musheng, but his good mood vanished instantly after hearing his classmates' comments. What do you mean, "What am I, Mu Bai? Jiang Han is just a little more talented than me, what's so great about him?"
Ding ding ding!!
As soon as the bell rang and Xue Musheng stepped out of the classroom, Zhao Kunsan started his taunting act again, saying sarcastically, "What are you guys afraid of? Don't we still have Mo Fan to keep us in the bottom? Hahaha."
Mo Fan's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. Instead, Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but angrily say, "You fat bastard, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."
"Mo Fan, aren't you going to show them your skills?" Jiang Han raised an eyebrow at Mo Fan beside him.
Others may not know Mo Fan's strength, but Jiang Han knows it very well. Mo Fan can already control six stars with his lightning-type stardust. Once he completes control of the last star, he will be able to release the initial-level lightning magic 'Lightning Seal'.
Jiang Han is the only person in the entire school who knows about Mo Fan's awakening of both lightning and fire magic, and he understands what Jiang Han means.
"No, if a dog bites me, I can't bite back, can I?" Mo Fan shook his head.
Before leaving the classroom, Zhao Kunsan sneered, "You think I can't say anything just because I'm useless? I'll say whatever I want, so what?"
"Fatty Zhao, if you keep babbling, I'll beat you up again, you believe me?" Jiang Han said coldly.
Zhao Kunsan was so frightened that he fled outside in a panic. He was already no match for Jiang Han, and now that Jiang Han could already unleash low-level magic, he was still only able to control three stars. Fighting Jiang Han again would just be asking for trouble.
After leaving Tianlan Magic High School, Zhang Xiaohou left first because he had other things to do, while Jiang Han and Mo Fan walked towards Mingwen Girls' Middle School with nothing to do.
Mingwen Girls' High School is a famous girls' high school in Bocheng, and it's full of beautiful girls.
There was still plenty of time to practice star control, so Mo Fan stopped in the alleyway, tossed his schoolbag to Jiang Han, and said, "Jiang Han, hold this bag for me. I'm going to practice star control for a while."
"Damn it, Mo Fan, what do you take me for? You actually made me carry your backpack!" Jiang Han said angrily.
Mo Fan smiled slyly and said, "If you don't take it, I'll tell Xin Xia about how you peeked at my cousin Mu Ningxue while she was taking a bath."
"Mo Fan, that's going too far. It's like you didn't see it that time," Jiang Han retorted.
"Do you think that if Xinxia finds out about this, her feelings for you will decrease?"
"Okay, that's a lot of garlic."
In order not to affect his image in Xin Xia's eyes, Jiang Han reluctantly took Mo Fan's schoolbag and sat on the steps not far away. The reason why he was being manipulated by Mo Fan was because that kid Mo Fan knew that he was interested in Xin Xia.
Mo Fan's consciousness entered the spiritual world, his body radiating a bewitching purple starlight. Stardust materialized between his hands, and he used his will to control the stars within the stardust, arranging them neatly into star trails—one, two, three…
When the seventh star was reached, the stardust trembled, and the seven stars vanished with a bang.
"Failed again. Why does the last one always fail? I was almost able to release the lightning seal," Mo Fan said, somewhat annoyed.
When Mo Fan saw Jiang Han on the steps not far away, holding his phone, he slapped his forehead and thought to himself, "How could I forget about Jiang Han? He can even cast a beginner-level spell. He must have a lot of experience controlling stars."
"Jiang Han, I can't seem to control my last star. How did you manage to complete the star orbit arrangement before?"
