Zhao Manyan was so mad that he was about to explode when the guests were brought to Snow Moon Castle.

The Alps Institute was treating the Pearl Institute like they were a bunch of relatives in need. Not only did the people of the Alps Institute dislike them, they had to obey some unreasonable rules, too! Meanwhile, the Alps Institute was treating the Casas like their ancestors. They did not think too much about how the Alps Institute had treated them, but they were very displeased after seeing the different level of treatment!

“The guy is the successor of the most powerful renowned clan in Europe. He’s even accompanied by Prince Beny. Why can’t you recognize the difference between you and him? Why would you even think you are being mistreated?” Shi Junsheng said.

“Man, you must be a slave in your previous life! Our Pearl Institute is the second most reputable school in China, and we even came in first in the World College Tournament. There’s no way our status is lower than a renowned clan! Aren’t you ashamed to speak for the others after what Headmistress Perry did to us? Don’t even say you are from the Pearl Institute, you’re nothing but a disgrace to us!” Zhao Manyan grunted in reply.

“Did I say anything wrong? Stop bringing up how you came in first in the World College Tournament. You might think of it as a glory, but it’s nothing worth mentioning in the eyes of the others. The Casas own the richest ore veins in Europe. They are in control of the magic resources for the entire continent!

“They are also one of the richest renowned clans. They have money, power, and influence. They can bring the Alps Institute huge funding with just a few words. What do you two have? You keep mentioning how you have come first in the World College Tournament, but what will they get in return from serving you nicely?” Shi Junsheng retorted.

“Shi Junsheng, I don’t agree with you. It’s fine if they want to build a relationship with the Casas by fawning upon them, but we are representing the Pearl Institute. They shouldn’t treat us like we are inferior to the others on formal occasions and in public. The magic bracelets, the meat, the arrangement of seats, and allocating Ceylan and Heidi, who are supposed to stay with us for the exchange, to the Casas without even notifying us…” Li Ximei could not stand it any further.

“Ximei is right, we might not be able to bring them any benefits, but since we are from a magic school in China, they have no reason to treat us like we are inferior to a renowned clan!” Professor Zheng said.

“Is it because Mo Fan offended their headmistress!?” Shi Junsheng wondered aloud.

“Professor Li, will beating up a person from the same school receive heavy punishment?” Mo Fan asked thinly.

“Of course, but only if someone sees it…” Professor Li said.

Shi Junsheng’s expression shifted. He was well aware of Mo Fan’s reputation in the school; he did not think twice of scolding a Councilman, beating the crap out of a government official, or students. He even dared to provoke the teachers! Professor Li clearly indicated that he was going to turn a blind eye to this.

Shi Junsheng no longer dared to sneer at them!

“That Herr Casa is pretty arrogant. What did he mean by there’s no need to introduce the others? It’s not like I’m interested in him either.” Mu Bai was quite proud. He could not stand the cynical remark.

“Herr Casa is the youngest Super Mage in Europe. You guys are young and restless. It’s fine to trouble Prince Beny, but I advise you to stay away from Herr Casa. Even the three of you together won’t be able to take him on,” Professor Zheng said seriously.

“Super…Super Level?” Zhao Manyan gasped.

“He doesn’t look that much older than us. How is he a Super Mage already?” Mu Bai was stunned too.

That’s unbelievable! Wasn’t every Super Mage in the world at least forty years old!?

“Mo Fan, what are you thinking? Why didn’t you say anything? It’s rare to see you so quiet, knowing your temper. Don’t tell me you’re scared of that Headmistress Perry,” Zhao Manyan asked.

“Scared my ass, I have seen lots of things that are scarier than her. I was wondering who the culprit was. Why hasn’t she made a move in the past few days?” Mo Fan replied.

Mo Fan was not hoping to see someone fall victim to the culprit. However, the first act she made clearly indicated that she was not the kind that would vanish immediately once her plan worked out. If he did not find the culprit, Li Yu’e would remain the suspect!

She was quite fond of the place and was thinking of staying here for good. Mo Fan did not want the other students to keep pointing their fingers at her, nor did he want her to be isolated.

Since his thoughts were preoccupied with that matter, he was not that concerned with Herr Casa and Prince Beny.

The next day after breakfast, Prince Beny and Herr Casa suggested visiting the dueling ground. The others followed.

“Headmistress Perry, why don’t we set up a bet? You do know I have some resources in my hands. I believe it’s better to allocate it to the school that impresses me the most. I have brought two henchmen with me. If any of your students can defeat them, I will have more confidence in the Alps Institute’s strength,” Herr Casa said.

“I don’t really agree with the method, since it’s meant to be a charitable act. If you are willing to help us, I will gladly accept it on behalf of the students. If you aren’t willing to help, it only means the kids aren’t blessed enough… but, since the young duke is eager to see the Alps Institute’s strength, I have no reason to turn it down!” Headmistress Perry replied.

Herr Casa grinned. She had agreed to it in the end. Why did she even bother to talk so much in the first place?

The two henchmen of the Casas stepped forward. They were both quite young, most likely the elites in the clan. They would be considered great talents in most schools, but in the Casas, in front of the young Duke Herr Casa, they were just some henchmen.

“Don’t let me down, and don’t let Headmistress Perry down, either,’ Herr Casa said.

The two henchmen nodded. They stood still in silence, waiting for the Alps Institute to decide on their candidate.

“Isn’t the Pearl Institute here too? Since it’s a friendly duel, how could we leave the Pearl Institute out? Why don’t we have the Pearl Institute join in the bet, too?” Prince Beny said.

“We won’t be embarrassing ourselves,” Professor Zheng said modestly.

“Indeed, you guys were lucky to win the title. You are only going to come to grief against the powerful Alps Institute and the Casas,” Prince Beny added.

Mo Fan turned and looked at Prince Beny. “Are you trying to make the headlines again?”

Prince Beny was quite afraid of Mo Fan. The young man was nothing but a lunatic; there was nothing he did not dare to do!

“Humph, it’s meaningless to pick on someone who’s not a Mage. Why don’t you join the duel if you think you’re so good? If you win, we shall offer some resources for the new students of your Pearl Institute,” Prince Beny said.

Professor Li came up to Mo Fan while he was hesitating. He said softly, “Mo Fan, just play along and ask their Royal Spanish Naval Academy to organize an exchange with our school. Our Pearl Institute isn’t as impressive as the Royal Spanish Naval Academy when it comes to naval battles. Now that the shoreline is being invaded by the sea monsters, we really need their advanced tactics and their information about the sea monsters.”

“For the sake of our country?” Mo Fan said.

“Yes, beat the crap out of them for the sake of our country!” Professor Li agreed.

“…” Mo Fan was also displeased by Casas attitudes. As a member of the Pearl Institute, he could bully the students of his school recklessly and provoke his teachers, but he would not allow an outsider to do the same thing!

Besides, he was still holding a strong grudge against Headmistress Perry from the unfair treatment. He could settle both debts at the same time!

“Since both of you are having a bet, allow me to contribute to the pool, too. Since the Pearl Institute is currently ranked first in the world, I wouldn’t want to bully you guys. Both the Alps Institute and the Casas can send a strong representative. If the two of you can last for ten minutes by teaming up, consider it a win, and I’ll give you the champion badge of the World College Tournament,” Mo Fan said.

Everyone immediately put their attention on Mo Fan upon hearing his words.

Professor Li was given quite a fright too. His forehead broke out in a sweat. He blurted out softly, “I told you to earn some respect for us, not to stir up trouble!”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Herr Casa applauded as if he was impressed by Mo Fan’s speech. He finally faced Mo Fan directly and said, “Now that’s how the winner of the World College Tournament should be. Since the resources are assigned for charitable acts every year as a way for our family to contribute to society, if you win the duel, I shall donate double the resources to your school.”

It was important for a renowned clan to maintain its public image, so the amount of resources they usually allocated for charity was fairly huge. It greatly exceeded the amount of resources that the renowned clans in China donated to the schools. How brilliant was it to get a foreigner to donate to their schools for the sake of his juniors, not to mention the donation would be done under his name!

“If you win, I shall double my donations too. I’m afraid that someone isn’t willing to give up their champion badge so easily, and the world is going to blame us for taking someone else’s beloved possession,” Prince Beny chimed in.

“You won’t have to double the donations. It’s fine if the Royal Spanish Naval Academy is willing to organize an exchange with our school,” Mo Fan said.

“That’s unfair, you are going to take benefits from both sides with just a single badge?”

“I have one with me, too,” Zhao Manyan promptly spoke up.

“Very well, the two badges are enough to be the stake.”

“What about the Alps?” Mo Fan asked.

“We aren’t a fan of this. You can add the stakes as you wish,” Headmistress Perry said.

“It’s fine if you don’t like betting, but if you lose, may I ask you to act more humbly when the students of the Pearl Institute are here for an exchange? You will not force them to wear the magic bracelets, and will prepare meat for them… don’t lose the duel and still think highly of yourself!” Mo Fan said to Headmistress Perry.

Headmistress Perry hated Mo Fan’s guts. How could she not be enraged by his words!?

“Humph, taking on two opponents at once, you’ve seriously overestimated your own capabilities. I wouldn’t dare to utter such nonsense if I were you,” Headmistress Perry said.

“Headmistress Perry, don’t worry about it. Isn’t it amusing to watch a clown putting up a show for us!?” Prince Beny said.

Herr Casa smiled too, amused at how naive and idiotic Mo Fan was. He would be impressed if Mo Fan could last for ten rounds against his henchman, let alone having to defeat both his opponents in less than ten minutes.

However, since the guy was so eager to earn some attention, he was more than willing to trample the guy fiercely!
