407 World College Tournamen (2/2)

The crowd quickly left the office, leaving Mo Fan alone with Dean Xiao.

Dean Xiao wore a blossoming smile, with a hint of relief. His first words were, ”Are you alright?”

”Of course, somehow I quite miss you after being gone for half a year,” said Mo Fan with a smile.

His words were sincere. Dean Xiao had been taking good care of him since he came to Pearl Institute. He was definitely a senior worthy of his respect.

”I told Zhan Kong to announce to the public that you were dead, as I was concerned about your safety. Speaking of which, it was quite a miracle that you managed to survive the aftereffect of the Demon Element. It was our fault too, being unable to give you the right protection. After all, your Double Innate Elements is too special,” said Dean Xiao.

”It was my fault for showing it too early. Well, at least I'm still alive now. I managed to come back here to continue my studies,” said Mo Fan.

Dean Xiao nodded. That was truly a relief to everyone.

”Dean Xiao, I shall head back to class if there's nothing else you have in mind. Oh, by the way, I would like to change to a different Element,” said Mo Fan.

”You're not planning to stay in the Summoning Element?” Dean Xiao was rather surprised.

”You couldn't even form a soccer team with the number of people in the Summoning Element, not to mention that there are no girls at all. It's too boring. Move me to the Fire Element, at least it's still a popular Element in the school. I believe it will suit me better,” said Mo Fan with a hint of menace.

Dean Xiao shook his head helplessly. He had already caused so many troubles when he was in the relatively deserted Summoning Element. The situation would be much worse if he were transferred into the Fire Element.

That being said, it was not a bad idea, either. Since Mo Fan was willing to train in the Fire Element, he would not mind fulfilling his wish, since it would not bring any harm to let him compete against the other students in the Fire Element.

”Fine, you should spend some time improving your cultivation. When the time comes, I'll recommend you to the National Team. I'm looking forward to your outstanding performance in the upcoming World College Tournament.”

”World College Tournament... what the heck is that?” asked Mo Fan.

Dean Xiao raised his eyebrows, before speaking with an annoyed yet amused tone, ”Are you sure you're a student? How could you not know about the World College Tournament? The Enforcement Union at Lingyin, Hangzhou, strongly recommended you as a seeded candidate for the National Team. Didn't you know that?”

Mo Fan dropped his jaw, before he recalled Miss Tangyue's words prior to his departure, ”I never said I wanted to participate in the tournament. It's just a waste of my time and effort. If I won, the school would say they had done a great job at training me. If I lost, they would say that I'm not good enough.”

Dean Xiao rubbed his temple and said with a headache, ”Do you have any idea how hard the renowned clans, Hunter Union, and Magic Associations have tried just to secure a spot? Yet you think it's a waste of effort. The school will consider it, and once we all agree, there's no escape for you.”

”This isn't fair, our school has lots of talents. Why do you have to pick me?” said Mo Fan.

”You won't have much time until the selection for the National Team takes place. The World College Tournament is also known as the Battle of Venice. You will know its origin eventually. Now, I'll let the student affairs sort out your transfer… forget it, I'll do it for you. Just check in at the Fire School,” said Dean Xiao.

”Oh, right, thanks, Dean Xiao.”

”Watch yourself, there are differences between different Element Schools. I can't help you with everything,” advised Dean Xiao with a worried tone.
