Glorkian had an astounded face when he heard Tang Zhong's words.
”So Teacher Mo is a candidate in the national team. No wonder he's so strong at such a young age. I was shocked, as I thought he was just a random young Magician in China. I guess I was scared by my own false alarm...” sighed Glorkian in relief.
Even though Glorkian completely overwhelmed Mo Fan in the fight, it was necessary to take their age into consideration. Glorkian could easily defeat any other young Magician with a single raise of his hand.
”Err… pardon me for asking, but is...is that snake your Summoned Beast? If it is, I'll suggest that our college forfeit the World College Tournament instead,” said Digaeus softly.
”He's the protector of Hangzhou. Mo Fan saved his life before, so whenever Mo Fan is in danger, he will show up immediately,” Tang Zhong smiled.
”I see.” Digaeus let out a relieved sigh, as if he had almost had a heart attack.
If the snake was a Summoned Beast, Mo Fan could crush every opponent in the World Magician Tournament, let alone the World College Tournament. The creature's strength was just too overwhelming!
China was a scary place. They should probably go back to Greece as soon as they were done here.
”I'll discuss it with her privately,” said Mo Fan.

Mo Fan pushed Xinxia's chair into the bamboo copse. A few leaves with pointy tips fell from above and dangled in her hair. Mo Fan swept the leaves to the ground while fondling her soft hair.
Slowly, Mo Fan's hand slid down to her ear, and her heart-shaped face.
The other hand went unnoticed through her long hair. Mo Fan hugged her from behind and indulged in the pleasant scent from the bamboo and the girl's hair...
Xinxia closed her eyes, enjoying the soothing calm.
”Brother Mo Fan, I think I will go,” Xinxia broke the silence sometime later.
”Why is that?” asked Mo Fan.
”It's not a bad place.” Xinxia lowered her head, looking at her legs.
”Mm, if someone dares bully you, tell me right away. I'll tear down their shitty temple,” said Mo Fan.
Xinxia giggled, a flickering light at the edge of her eyes.
Even though Xinxia was a Magician with the Psychic Element, she realized that she was not good at expressing her feelings.
She knew Mo Fan did not like to be stuck in a rut and live a busy, but unfulfilling life. However, sometimes, Mo Fan's pace was too quick for her. She had no choice but to wait patiently for his return...
Xinxia often dreamt about him returning with cuts and bruises all around his body. He would fall to the ground halfway to her, yet she could not walk to him even if she wanted to. She could only stand there watching.
The Parthenon Temple, Xinxia did not mind going there. After all, it was the sacred temple of every Healer!
If she had the same dream again, she could finally treat his wounds or walk to him...

”We've decided. She can go to Parthenon Temple,” Mo Fan brought Xinxia back to the table.
Glorkian and Digaeus let out deep, relieved sighs. It was obvious that the Great Mentor was no ordinary person. Otherwise, the two would not be under such great pressure.
”We'll book the flight tickets now,” said Glorkian.
”Who told you she's leaving now? You can only come and take her after a week. If you like Hangzhou, you can stay here and look around for a week. The President of the Enforcement Union will cover all your costs. If you don't, you can go back to India first, and come back after a week to pick her up,” said Mo Fan.
