Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

Mo Fan realized what was happening.

It seems that Zhan Kong didn't know that Yinan had already approached him, which is why he instructed him to keep an eye on Yu Ang. Mo Fan felt a warmth in his heart. Although the head instructor didn't seem very reliable, he was indeed a very responsible person.

Mo Fan saw several middle-aged men and women who looked to be of high status walking towards them. They were obviously old acquaintances of Zhan Kong, and Zhan Kong greeted them with a smile.

Mo Fan didn't plan to explain things to the head instructor. He decided to wait for the right opportunity to give the head instructor a big surprise.
Soon.

Principal Zhu, Deng Kai, Yang Zuohe, and other important figures from Bocheng were all present. Mu Zhuoyun and Yu Ang personally went to greet them.

Principal Zhu represents the magic school, the pinnacle of Bocheng Magic School.

Deng Kai is the head of the Hunter Alliance, holding a very high position.

Yang Zuohe is the representative of the Magic Association, and his power is very close to that of the top two.

On the military side, it was naturally Zhan Kong. This chief instructor could be said to be the most powerful mage among this group, and the true guardian war god of this city of Bo!
Mu Zhuoyun goes without saying; he's the leader of his family line.

Mo Fan was surprised to find that he had met most of the important figures in Bocheng, which proved that he was already considered someone important.

In fact, Mo Fan knew that he was still quite far from being as good as these old guys. It was precisely because of his status as a student that he easily attracted the attention of these powerful figures.

Once they enter society and are weeded out by the realities of life, they will probably be forgotten by them very quickly.

Pan Lijun and Bai Yang, Mo Fan's two instructors, were also present, following behind Zhan Kong.

I learned from the veterans at the post station that the two instructors were slightly stronger than Xu Dahuang, the captain of the demon-hunting team, and were very close to being mid-level mages.

Of course, there was actually another instructor.

Luo Yunbo, but Mo Fan hadn't seen Luo Yunbo yet, and didn't know if he wasn't coming, since enough military personnel had already arrived.

People were already whispering among themselves at the banquet.

"Mu Zhuoyun really went all out this time, inviting so many people. It seems that almost everyone with prestige in Bocheng received an invitation and showed up to make an appearance."

"That's right. The Mu family has already produced Mu Ningxue. Her future status will definitely not be at the current level. Everyone knows that Old Zhuo Yun is going to control everything."

"Today, Mu Zhuoyun is introducing the young sect leader of Bo City. If he wants to make a name for himself in Bo City, can he not come? We may not know who's coming, but we know very well who's not," a man who looked like he was from the Magic Association said in a low voice.

Is it really that exaggerated??

"Yes, absolutely."

"You tell me how old we were when we reached the level of intermediate-level magicians, and look at how old Mu Ningxue is. From this, you can guess how much control the Mu family will have in Bo City in the future."

"So, apart from someone like Boss Zhan Kong who transcends worldly affairs, everyone has to take Old Zhuo Yun seriously. I don't know what that idiot Mo Fan is thinking. We all have to be obsequious in front of Old Zhuo Yun, but he... doesn't want to stay in Bo City anymore!"

"Well, it's hard to say. I heard that Mu Ningxue and Mu Zhuoyun don't have a very good relationship. Mu Ningxue said that he shouldn't be touched, so Mu Zhuoyun wouldn't go too far."

"Yes, and I heard that Mo Fan is the top student at Tianlan Magic High School. He was favored by Boss Zhan Kong during his training. Principal Zhu and Deng Kai would definitely protect such a student. Even if they don't want to offend Mu Zhuoyun, Boss Zhan Kong doesn't care so much. Who is Boss Zhan Kong afraid of? Anyone who touches his troops will be killed in a heartbeat!"

Fei Shi noticed that the group of people were discussing something, so he immediately went over and joined them.

Not long after Fei Shi returned, Xiao Ke asked him curiously, "Brother Fei Shi, why is everyone talking about Yu Ang and that guy named Mo Fan?"

“Oh, I just found out too. Mo Fan now represents the magic school's influence to some extent. He will duel with Yu Ang, a scion of a powerful family, on behalf of the magic school. The winner will naturally gain the invaluable opportunity to cultivate at the Earthly Sacred Spring in Bo City,” Fei Shi explained.

"I see. I heard that it has been many years since the students of the magic school entered the Holy Spring."

"It's normal. Schools produce students in batches. It's considered exceptional if one or two extraordinary geniuses emerge occasionally. The number of children from aristocratic families is not as large as that of schools, but they are all elites. It's not surprising that Mo Fan would become a stepping stone for others."

"It feels so pathetic. A student who fought his way through 1,500 people is not as good as someone from a good family," Xiao Ke said sweetly.

"Sigh, being born into the right family is a skill."

……

Mo Fan walked around and learned information from many people.

He said, "Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss about a duel between two young people? It turns out it's just a power struggle within Bo City."

However, even disregarding the task Yinan gave him, this battle is not a bad thing for him. If he performs well, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he will become famous overnight!

"Zhou Min, Zhang Xiaohou, He Yu, Zhang Yinglu, Xu Zhaoting, Wang Sanpang... what brings you all here?"

Mo Fan suddenly noticed a group of relatively young figures, who turned out to be his classmates.

"The school has some spots available, and Mu Bai got us in too. It's a rare opportunity for our school's top expert to duel with a disciple of a powerful family, how could we not come and watch?" Xu Zhaoting said with a hint of sourness in his voice.

Xu Zhaoting was a powerful lightning elementalist, and this spot was originally his, but it was snatched away by Mo Fan, who appeared out of nowhere.

However, after that ordeal, Xu Zhaoting's resentment towards Mo Fan was not as strong as before.

Mo Fan saved everyone's lives, and they still hoped that he could perform well in the duel and bring some honor to the magic school.

“Brother Fan, I just saw that Uncle Mo Jiaxing was also on the invitation list. I guess it was that guy Mu He who did it,” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“This is a good thing,” Mo Fan said with a meaningful smile.

The more people there are, the greater the shame Yu'ang will feel if he loses.

"Mo Fan, you have to keep it up!" Zhou Min said with a sweet smile.

Mo Fan nodded. Two years ago, Mo Fan could never have imagined that a duel would escalate into such a city-wide topic of discussion, even affecting the safety and future of the entire city to some extent.

Well, well, even if I only experience this feeling of being the center of attention once, it's better than spending my whole life in a dark corner, ignored by everyone!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very pleased that you could all come to celebrate my son's coming of age. Time always flies by so quickly. There will surely come a time when we are too old to even perform a single spell. The future of Bo City will inevitably be in the hands of those who are younger and more outstanding than us. You may think that I am making a big fuss by hosting this banquet just for my son's coming-of-age ceremony, but I firmly believe that youth will prevail."

Mu Zhuoyun sat high on the chairman's seat, holding a wine glass in his hand, and spoke eloquently to the guests present with a ruddy complexion.

"What a wonderful toast to the future of Bocheng! Let's all raise a glass!" Yang Zuohe was the first to stand up, to pay tribute to Mu Zhuoyun.

"Among those present, only Old Master Mu Zhuoyun is qualified to discuss the future of Bocheng. I will drink this cup down in one gulp!"

All the guests stood up and raised their glasses in a toast.

Among all the guests in the hall, only Mo Fan seemed to be an observer, watching the various aspects of life with interest.

Before long, he noticed that Teacher Tang Yue, who had also come to the banquet, was not impressed by Mu Zhuoyun's words and was rolling her eyes while drinking.

I don't know what Teacher Tang Yue has against Mu Zhuoyun.

After the grand banquet, in which the entire Mu Family Manor was bathed in the golden light of Bocheng, the main event of the day naturally began.

Magical duel!

Many people weren't there to listen to Mu Zhuoyun's clichéd remarks; they just wanted to know who would win the Earthly Holy Spring this year.

This is a treasure powerful enough to create a mid-level mage, and for Bo City, the sudden appearance of a mid-level mage is naturally of great significance.

Mo Fan had already followed the instructions and was waiting inside the magic duel arena.

The dueling arena was oval-shaped, much larger than the school's training ground, almost the size of a playground.

There are tiered seats on both sides, enough to accommodate all the guests invited to the banquet today.

Mo Fan stood in the center of the dueling arena; in fact, he had been standing there for a while. Yu Ang had not yet appeared, clearly indicating that Mu Zhuoyun needed to give him a grand entrance.

This feeling isn't very pleasant.

Like a monkey being watched and entertained in a zoo, Mo Fan might have started cursing if he were in a bad mood, but today, Mo Fan was very calm.

Mo Fan's father, Mo Jiaxing, was very excited, pointing to his son in the center of the field and introducing him. For this middle-aged man, such a scene was enough to prove that his son was outstanding.

Amidst the laughter and amusement of the crowd, Yu Ang, dressed in specially made clothes, finally appeared.

That look was a stark contrast to Mo Fan's usual style of wearing slippers when he went out that morning, and even Principal Zhu and the others frowned.

"Damn it, that old guy Mu Zhuoyun is really going all out. Can you count how many magical artifacts and tools he has?" Deng Kai almost jumped up from his chair when he saw this.

Principal Zhu shook his head helplessly. This was actually the reason why children from aristocratic families were often stronger than students from magic schools; ordinary people simply didn't have that advantage.

Yu Ang smiled confidently, feeling that he was the star of the night. Just as he was about to wave to everyone, an untimely young male voice suddenly rang out.

"Sorry, we're not late, are we?"

The voice came from outside; it was very young, but there was no hesitation or timidity in it, as if it were full of confidence.

Yu Ang and Mu Zhuoyun's faces both darkened, clearly displeased with the person who had suddenly interrupted their moment of showing off.

After building up such a great atmosphere for so long, this person stole the spotlight.

Mu Zhuoyun stood up and looked towards the door.

But when he saw who it was, his gloomy face instantly turned into astonishment.

"Investigation team!"

Many people recognized who had come from the newcomer, and in an instant, everyone was shocked.

"Why would the investigation team come? Aren't they supposed to never get involved in these kinds of things?"

"Who knows? Could it be that Mu Zhuoyun wasn't cooperating with the investigation team, and they came to cause trouble?"

"Get out of here. Do you think everyone is as thuggish as you? If Mu Zhuoyun really dares not to cooperate, the investigation team has plenty of ways to make him behave."

"What's going on?"

"Who knows? We'll just have to watch what happens between the big shots."

Mu Zhuoyun reacted quickly, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face: "I didn't know that officers from the investigation team would grace us with their presence, otherwise I would definitely have sent someone to welcome you! I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly."

Mu Zhuoyun looked at the man with the buzz cut in front of him, trying hard to remember which officer in the investigation team he was, but he couldn't recall for a long time.

However, someone in the audience recognized him.

"Brother Yinan! Brother Zhang Qi, Brother Jiang Yuan! What brings you here!" Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed excitedly.

"Didn't that kid Mo Fan ask us to come watch his performance? I asked the captain for permission, and came as soon as I finished my work," Zhang Qi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood the reason.

Mu Zhuoyun then realized that these three must be the three officers in charge of the investigation team of Tianlan Magic High School, and they were all mid-level mages!
Even Mu Zhuoyun couldn't put on airs anymore, and could only politely invite the three of them to sit down.

However, the expressions on the two men's faces had already switched. Yu Ang's face was frighteningly dark, while Mo Fan was beaming with pride.

Brother Yinan arrived just in time!
