Chapter 52. The Assessment Day at the Main Campus

After the Vatican incident ended, Mo Fan not only received a reward of 50 million from the Tribunal, but also a bonus of 10 million from Pearl Academy.

At his age, how many people would dare to go head-to-head with the Vatican?

Moreover, on the other hand, Mo Fan has helped the Lingyin Temple Tribunal eliminate a major hidden danger this time!

This amount of money is really not much, considering the enormous risks and efforts Mo Fan has taken.

Inside the apartment.

The school didn't fully disclose the fact that the trial would award someone a prize. However, Mo Fan's roommates, Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao, naturally knew about it. After all, it was an honor!

Not everyone can achieve this at this age.

Ai Tutu said with a gleam in his eyes, "Hey, you big devil, how can you be so audacious? The Holy See... you dare to provoke them?"

Ai Tutu's eyes were filled with curiosity and surprise; she simply couldn't imagine where Mo Fan's courage came from.

"Those bastards came looking for trouble themselves, I can't just sit here and give up," Mo Fan shrugged, looking completely nonchalant. Then he added, "But you, a beautiful young lady like you, aren't you afraid to live with me?"

Mo Fan's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of mockery.

Ai Tutu paused, puzzled, and asked, "What do I have to be afraid of?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Ai Tutu's eyes; she didn't understand why Mo Fan asked that question.

"I've been targeted by the Vatican. Aren't you afraid that one day the Vatican will send assassins to find me?" Mo Fan's eyes turned serious, knowing that the Vatican was extremely vengeful.

"Uh..." Ai Tutu panicked a little upon hearing this, and then looked at Mu Nujiao on the sofa next to her and said, "Sister Mu, why don't we move out..."

Ai Tutu was filled with worry; she didn't think she could survive unscathed against the Vatican's assassins.

Those were a bunch of beasts, not even remotely human...

Mu Nujiao glanced at Ai Tutu and then comforted him, "He's just scaring you, Tutu. The Vatican in Shanghai has been completely eradicated. At this time, the Vatican's people won't be willing to come here."

Mu Nujiao's voice was gentle yet firm; she believed in Mo Fan's abilities and the strength of the Tribunal.

"Hey, Sister Mu, weren't you reluctant to share an apartment before?" Ai Tutu, always oblivious, suddenly looked at Mu Nujiao with a half-smile and said.

Ai Tutu's eyes held a hint of teasing; she wanted to know why Mu Nujiao had changed her mind.

Mu Nujiao paused, then glanced at Ai Tutu with annoyance.

She really didn't want to share an apartment at first!

But after moving in together, she found that she could have real-life sparring sessions with Mo Fan whenever she had free time, and she really didn't want to leave.

After all, with Mo Fan as a sparring partner, her skills improved very quickly.

However, Mu Nujiao did not offer much explanation.

She wasn't the type of girl who liked to explain these trivial matters; she believed the truth would prevail. Mu Nujiao turned and walked upstairs, her figure elegant and composed.

Ai Tutu pouted and looked at Mo Fan, saying, "Big devil, let me tell you, I don't care if you go out and cause trouble, but if you bring trouble home and hurt someone as cute as me, you'll be guilty of a terrible sin."

Ai Tutu's eyes held a hint of warning; she didn't want to be in danger because of Mo Fan.

"Don't worry, with your ample bosom, no one will hurt you," Mo Fan said, waving his hand.

Mo Fan's eyes held a hint of teasing. He knew that although Ai Tutu was sharp-tongued and not very bright, she was actually kind-hearted.

Furthermore, he also knew that the Vatican in Shanghai had been completely eradicated, and they would not choose to come here seeking any thrills.

"Hmph~" Ai Tutu snorted and turned to go upstairs.

The apartment returned to tranquility, and Mo Fan calmed down to continue his cultivation.

The path of cultivation is always long and tedious.

Many people dislike studying, finding it a very boring and tedious activity.

In fact, doing anything repeatedly, even something you are very interested in, 365 days a year without rest, will eventually lead to aversion and disgust.

It's not that I hate studying, but that I can't get rid of my playful heart.

In this world, Mo Fan's deepest realization is that the process of cultivating magic is extremely tedious. As the initial novelty fades with time, the only thing that keeps him from wasting even a single moment each day is a heart that desires to become stronger.

Even if each day feels like a year, we must persevere. Before we know it, the semester is coming to an end, and next up is the day for the new students to take their entrance exams at the main campus.

"I am very pleased because I have seen the growth of many people since the freshman orientation."

"I remember not long ago someone compared the main campus's assessment to a demon that looms over our entire Qing Campus. It looks down on you, spurs you on, and makes you train hard for it..."

"This analogy is correct. Whether you have heard about it or witnessed it firsthand, and whatever your source of information about the main campus, I firmly believe that it is not a rumor, but rather something even more brutal!"

"The Green Campus is the final stop of your youthful journey. It's the small, warm pool before you face the torrents and waterfalls. The next stop is the real magical journey. Swallow all the grievances, injustices, and hardships you suffer. No one will sympathize with the weak!"

At the school-wide assembly, Dean Xiao, who had always been kind and benevolent to all students, suddenly changed his demeanor drastically.

These remarks ultimately made many people uncomfortable, and their beloved Dean Xiao seemed to have become a devilish training officer who could disregard everything.

Is the competition at the main campus really that fierce?

Is it really true that those with connections and power can command the wind and rain, while those without connections and with mediocre abilities are relegated to hiding in the corner?

"Any student whose cultivation level has not reached the intermediate-level mage is not qualified to participate in the main campus's assessment. You only have 3 years left at the Qing Campus. During these 3 years, you will still enjoy the resources provided by the school and the various privileges of students. However, if you still cannot break through to the intermediate-level mage level within these 3 years, then after leaving Mingzhu Academy, please do not consider yourselves students of Mingzhu Academy anymore!"

Dean Xiao's words struck the minds of all the new students like a thunderbolt.

If you don't make a breakthrough in three years, will you no longer be a student of Mingzhu Academy?

Isn't this a bit too inhumane?

"Those who haven't reached the intermediate level of magician, you can leave now. This battlefield doesn't belong to you yet." Dean Xiao seemed like a completely different person, which was hard for the students to accept.
