Chapter 111 The Arrogant Wang Yi, Ron Becomes the Last Hope? (4k4)

'That's so unfair...'

Ron thought to himself, silently filled in his name on the monthly exam registration form, and walked back to his seat.

Wang Yi also got a place under Dr. Qing's arrangement. The old classmates in the experimental class didn't react much to this student who suddenly transferred during the monthly exam. They were already used to the situation where several magician transfer students would come to the school every now and then.

But... the magician transfer students didn't give such a calm response.

"It's...it's [Hidden Purple]?!"

"That candidate for the Grand Position in the Astrological School, the future leader of the school, the Grand Position Magician..."

The group immediately became noisy. Dr. Qing's face darkened, and he knocked on the table to silence them.

But soon, they began to whisper among themselves, and someone couldn't help but ask:
"I never expected him to attend a school for people with superpowers... Would the Grand Master of the Astrology School really be willing to let him waste his time on such things?"

Another person shook their head, looking at the classmate who had asked such a foolish question, a hint of mockery in their tone:
"Then you don't understand... Do you think that when such a big shot transfers to a school, he or she will have to activate some kind of superpower ability model like us and learn from both sides?"

"Even if he were to enroll, following the usual practices of the [Astrology Society], he would definitely be given a place at Tian Ting University... He's probably coming to our Moen University for something else."

As he spoke, he added meaningfully, "For example, this upcoming monthly exam..."

Upon hearing this, the student who had just asked the question suddenly realized what was going on and nodded immediately.
"No wonder... it's only natural that Principal 404 would attract wolves eager to devour him with such an extremely tempting reward..."

"He's already secured first place in this month's exam..."

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, having lost all interest in listening to the lesson.

Soon, Dr. Qing finished explaining the precautions for registering for the monthly exam, informed everyone to pay attention to tomorrow's exam time, and reminded them not to forget to use the AR simulation helmet in the dormitory to access the [Hollow Battlefield], and then left decisively.

With Dr. Qing's departure, the magician transfer students, who had been somewhat restrained and only whispering, immediately lost their composure, and a cacophony of voices filled the air—

"【Hidden Purple】! I never imagined I would have the honor of being classmates with such an important person as you. I am truly humbled and unsure of what you like, so I can only offer these little trinkets as a token of my respect..."

Someone approached Wang Yi and pulled out a bulging cloth bag, which seemed to contain some loose items.

"Oh, why be so afraid?"

Wang Yi smiled gently and said in a calm tone:
"You don't need to call me 'Hidden Purple' anymore... That's a title the association gave me, not my name."

"Now that I've entered the experimental class of our physics department, we're classmates... Why be so formal with me?"

As he spoke, he skillfully took the cloth bag, his smile widening, and his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the classmate.
"My name is Wang Yi. I think we have some kind of connection, so you can just call me by my name from now on..."

Upon hearing this, Ron immediately lost his composure.

'Those words sound familiar... Wait, isn't that what Wang Yi said to me before?'

'How come this person is so skilled?'

Ron frowned, looking at the bulging bag Wang Yi had taken. He immediately recognized the special magical patterns on it; based on his recent knowledge, its function should be [Storing Magic Power].

Listening to the soft, clinking sounds coming from inside the bag, Ron couldn't help but sneer inwardly:
'Well... a bag of pure gems, the hard currency for completing a magic ritual...'

That wasn't all. Just as Wang Yi skillfully took the bag, someone shoved aside the student who had offered it to him, and sidled up to Wang Yi with a fawning smile:

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang... Do you still remember me? I also studied at the [Astrology Society] back then, in the same class as you... I'm Xiao Kai! We even skipped that old lady's class together!"

As he spoke, a hint of melancholy in his voice:
"It's just that you gained the recognition of the heroic spirits back then, and your talent for spiritual communication led the old woman to take you in as her last disciple, while I was mediocre afterward, unable to even pass the assessment for the [Junior Son], and ended up as an apprentice at the [Clock Tower]..."

Wang Yi frowned, glanced at him a few times, and noticed that he was holding nothing. His expression turned stern again, and his tone carried a hint of the aloofness and indifference of someone in a high position:
"Then what do you want from me?"

"This, this..."

Xiao Kai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth before finally speaking:
"I mainly want to ask you for a favor... Do you remember Anna, who was in the same class as us back then? The one you were really close to..."

"Now, for some reason, she owes the Golden Dawn a huge debt, and they're saying they're going to take away all of her family's heirlooms—the Magic Imprint and the Magic Circuits—to pay off the debt."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi's brows immediately relaxed, and he instantly understood the man's thoughts:
"You mean... you want me to help you get her off the operating table at [Golden Dawn]?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Kai nodded excitedly. "I've been wanting to ask you for help, Brother Wang, but the [Astrology Society] wouldn't let me in, and I couldn't find you. I never expected to run into you at this time. Anna is saved..."

“You’re right, the Golden Dawn would never dare to disrespect me.”

Wang Yi nodded seriously, and then extended his hand to Xiao Kai.

But when Xiao Kai saw Wang Yi extending his hand towards him, he was slightly taken aback, and then it dawned on him:
"Oh, oh... I understand! I understand!"

As he spoke, he simply wiped the gemstone ring on his finger and opened the interface of the [Magicians' Association]...

"All the points I earned in the association, plus the [Star Stone] I acquired before, which is particularly suitable for [Astrology] rituals..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi's expression immediately changed, and his brows furrowed even more deeply than before.
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
"Did you mistake me for a beggar on the street? Huh?"

As he spoke, a hint of anger was clearly evident in his tone:

"Do you know how much it costs to bribe the executioners of the Golden Dawn? This is all you've got. You can't even bribe the guards at the Earth Vein Hall. And you expect me to go to the Golden Dawn's operating table and get someone out?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai's face immediately turned noticeably pale.

His lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but say:

"I... I became one of the first transfer students in the [Magic Enters the World] program to earn points, all to save up enough money to buy tickets to the [Earth Vein Hall]... I already had enough points!"

"Enough?" Wang Yi said impatiently. "Tickets are one thing, but what about the people behind us?"

"The security guard is dealt with, but what about the doctor in the autopsy room? What about the branch manager of [Golden Dawn]? What about the crematorium worker who handles the waste?"
"And me? I made this trip for you, do you think I can just leave without taking anything?"

He waved his hand, speechless, signaling Xiao Kai to leave:

"No wonder you couldn't find me before... With such limited understanding, what's the point of looking for me?"

“But, but we were such good friends back then, Anna and you were classmates for six years…” But before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the collar and thrown aside by the other magician transfer students who had squeezed in, and they enthusiastically crowded around Wang Yi.

"What Anna or whatever, it's all nonsense..."

Wang Yi shrugged, casually making a comment, completely ignoring what Xiao Kai had just said. Instead, he smiled gently and looked at the new classmates who had joined him.

These magician transfer students, however, seemed completely unconcerned about what Xiao Kai had just experienced. They even gave the dejected Xiao Kai a slightly disdainful look, as if they had no objection to Wang Yi's actions. Instead, they approached him with even greater enthusiasm.

At this moment, Ron, who had witnessed everything, suddenly realized what was happening, recalling how Wang Yi's expression had softened before changing again, displaying an arrogant demeanor:
'No wonder his expression softened so much after I praised Wang Yi… he probably thought I was going to bribe him like these other people!'

'As a result, I didn't take the money. When Wang saw that I didn't react, he immediately reverted to his previous arrogant demeanor...'

'This person... cares about money above all else!'

Thinking this to himself, Ron saw that the magician transfer students seemed to have given all the gifts they were supposed to, and they had all formed good relationships with Wang Yi. Wang Yi was speaking in a gentle tone, like a nice old man, and they chatted happily with each other.

After a moment, Wang Yi seemed to realize something, turned to look at the superpowered individuals who showed absolutely no interest in him, and spoke gently:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid you don't recognize me, so let me introduce myself."

"I am [Hidden Purple], a [Color Position] magician certified by the association. Theoretically speaking, I shouldn't be taking any classes at your school..."

He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"But I'm really interested in the prize for coming in first place in this monthly exam, so I temporarily switched to participate in your monthly exam and try to win this prize..."

"So neither the access to Prometheus nor the relic is related to you anymore."

“However,” he changed the subject, “I, Wang Yi, have never been one to take things by force… I’ve always preferred win-win situations.”

As he spoke, Wang smiled and looked at everyone, asking:
"I heard that the students in your experimental class are the strongest in the physics department. The number one spot should have come from your class... So, tell me, who is number one?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Some instinctively looked at Ron, while others looked at Euan.

But at this moment, You An stood up without hesitation, accepting the title of first place as a matter of course, and looked at Wang Yi, saying:

"I'm number one in academic ability... What do you want?"

"you?"

Wang raised an eyebrow, then spoke gently:
“It’s not fair to take away the first place you deserve, so I’ve decided to have a win-win situation with you—I can give you a chance to follow me.”

"Afterwards, come with me to the [Astrology Society]. You can accompany me into the [Tower of Stars]. If you behave well, I may allow you to observe some of the secret texts of the [Astrological School]..."

But before he could finish speaking, Yu'an's expression changed drastically.

What's the meaning? !

They're treating him like a dog right from the start? Does this guy think he's a Level 5?!
Looking at Wang Yi, whose expression was gentle and who was still telling You An about the benefits of following him, You An's face darkened, and he snorted coldly:

"Follow you? Hmph, you're just a guy who got to your current status by relying on a heroic spirit to possess you..."

"If you're really capable, then let's meet in the Hollow Battlefield... What's the point of saying all this at a time like this?"
"The Hollow Battlefield is a data simulation; you can't bring your Heroic Spirits into it..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi was clearly taken aback, and his originally gentle expression immediately turned cold.

He looked at You An, then suddenly grinned and chuckled softly:
"You mean... you're questioning whether I have a chance to get first place in the Hollow Battlegrounds, is that right?"

"good."

Yu An stared coldly at Wang Yi: "Without Heroic Spirits, in terms of combat ability alone, relying solely on magic, you might not be able to defeat my ability, honed through countless trials..."

But before he could finish speaking, a murky, seven-colored splatter of paint appeared out of thin air and splashed directly onto Yuan's face.

The next moment, the illusory, murky paint merged into Yu'an's body, and his eyes immediately became hazy and unfocused. What he had intended to say turned into fragmented, meaningless murmurs—

Then, his movements became unsteady, and he collapsed to the ground in a daze, like a maggot writhing on the ground.

It only lasted a moment... just a fleeting instant!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone was immediately in an uproar, and their expressions towards Wang Yi turned solemn and fearful.

As superpowered individuals, they didn't actually understand the magician's power—

After taking so many magic classes, all we've learned are some obviously useless and rubbish tricks, and at most one or two low-level magic tricks that even a Level 1 esper can't beat...

Aside from the powerful magic of Pointer 404, no one has ever seen these magicians use their magic. They have only heard about it from their magic teachers and have no real sense of the power of "magic".

But now, with just a casual wave of his hand, Wang Yi rendered You An powerless to resist.

Seeing You An suddenly become like a dazed person, drooling and babbling, everyone felt a sense of fear. No one dared to stand up like You An and face Wang Yi directly...

Looking at everyone's reactions, Wang Yi coldly swept his gaze around:
"Are there still any fools who would question this kind of thing now?"
"Only a bunch of superpowered people like you would do something like this... You have no real skills, yet you insist on questioning meaningless things. What a waste of time..."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a surge of anger and displeasure.

Seeing the obvious defiant expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Yi sneered:
Still not convinced?

"What? Do you think there's someone better than this person who can compete with me for first place in the monthly exam?"

Hearing this, the anger that was building up inside everyone intensified.

As students of Moen University, these geniuses in the experimental class have truly gotten to where they are today through genuine talent and hard work...

Having lived such a smooth and successful life, these privileged students each have their own pride as students of Moen University. When have they ever suffered such humiliation?
If they weren't truly incapable of defeating Wang Yi, they would have already been eager to go up and fight him, to prove that there were no weaklings among superpowered individuals.

Unfortunately, even the strongest Yu'an... wait, the strongest?
A thought struck them, and they instinctively turned their heads to look at Ron...

Is Yu'an really the strongest?
