Chapter 103 - A Small Gift for Professor Zhou Yan

He had completely lost the battle with Wu Mo, and his final assessment score was more than 20 points lower than the other party’s.

In addition, the principal and mayor treated Wu Mo so well.

That made Tang Mu see the difference in strength between him and Wu Mo.

Therefore, he looked at Wu Mo with some fear and worry in his eyes.

After all, he had said a lot of bad things about him in public and even mocked him in the auditorium.

Their relationship had entered a freezing point.

“Why are you running? Am I trying to eat you?”

Wu Mo looked at Tang Mu with a strange expression.

In his mind, was Tang Mu not conceited and arrogant? Did he not take others seriously?

Why was he listless now?

“No-Nothing.”

Tang Mu shrunk his neck and stammered.

“Hey, don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you. Although we didn’t get along in the past, we were still classmates who worked together for three years, weren’t we?” Wu Mo patted Tang Mu’s shoulder and said magnanimously.

At that moment, Tang Mu even thought that he had misheard him.

He did not expect Wu Mo to actually forgive him.

No way! In the beginning, the people did not take Wu Mo seriously at all!

Thinking of that, Tang Mu looked away slightly.

He had always felt that his strength was super strong, and no one in the entire class could be on par with him.

But now, he seemed arrogant and confident back then. He had been a clown.

Not only was Wu Mo super strong, but he was also magnanimous. He was indeed worthy of being someone who could achieve great things!

Realizing this, his thoughts suddenly became clear.

“Wu Mo… I admit that you’re stronger than me, but I’ll work even harder in the future. One day, I’ll catch up to you!”

He clenched his fists and declared it with a face full of fighting spirit.

“Haha, that’s for the best.”

Wu Mo said with a smile as he patted Tang Mu on the shoulder.

During this exchange, one person suddenly came to mind.

Wei Jiaming, theguy who harbored a murderous intent toward him.

At that thought, his face turned slightly cold.

“Tang Mu… do you know why Wei Jiaming didn’t come?”

Sensing the coldness in Wu Mo’s words, Tang Mu’s body trembled. “Well, he left the academy before he took the graduation assessment. Later on, he somehow became qualified to take the assessment.”

“But because he failed the exam, he did not get the graduation certificate. He must have gone back to his third year of high school…”

He scratched his head and spoke carefully.

“Ha… I see.”

Wu Mo’s mouth curled slightly. He patted Tang Mu’s shoulder and turned around to leave.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the largest school square in front of the Divine Arms Academy’s main gate.

A six-meter-tall giant stone sculpture was standing in the middle of the square. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a powerful blacksmith.

However, it had been a long time since it was erected, and the sculpture’s corroded facial features were a little blurry.

Even so, Wu Mo felt that the sculpture’s figure was somewhat similar to Principal Qiu’s.

During the final teacher-student conference, all the students listened to the speech with unprecedented seriousness.

The teachers’ and students’ experiences over the past three years were displayed on the big screen. Many of the more sensitive students shed tears at the scene.

Professor Zhou Yan and a teaching assistant looked at the group of students who were standing in a straight line. They were also quite reluctant to part with them.

However, no banquet went on forever. At five o’clock in the afternoon, the final farewell meeting, which lasted for two hours, ended.

The crowded square gradually became empty.

In the office, a few teachers looked at the student photos that were distributed. While they were happy that the students could graduate, they were also reluctant to part with those cute and naughty children.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Zhou Yan immediately put the photos into the drawer and collected herself.

“Come in!”

The person outside pushed the door open and walked in. Zhou Yan looked up and saw that it was Wu Mo.

“It’s already so late. Why haven’t you gone home?” she sniffed and said in a relaxed tone.

Wu Mo smiled. “Of course it’s because I can’t bear to part with you, Professor. Back when I was astray, it was you who guided me and helped me keep my rank as a four-star blacksmith. Now that I’ve successfully graduated, how could I forget you, Professor?”

Looking at the confident Wu Mo in front of her, Zhou Yan opened her mouth. She felt that the big boy in front of her had suddenly become much more mature.

“Professor, I come from an average family. My parents are both working in my hometown, and you know very well that I can’t give you anything valuable. But please accept this small gift.”

As he spoke, Wu Mo took out an exquisite red gift box. There was a cartoon illustration of a teacher and a student taking a picture together on the box.

Zhou Yan was surprised. She did not expect Wu Mo to give her something.

She was about to reject it, but Wu Mo predicted her response in advance.

“Professor, it’s nothing valuable. Please accept it. I’m leaving it here to thank you for caring for me and Jiang Mengyao all these years!”

After Wu Mo said that, he quickly left and closed the door without waiting for Zhou Yan to react.

A few dumbfounded assistant teachers were the only ones left there.

“Hey, that student, Wu Mo, is really kind. He didn’t forget to send his teacher a gift. Professor Zhou, please open it and take a look.”

A few assistant teachers surrounded her while they chattered. Zhou Yan was a little shy, but she could not resist the temptation and had no choice but to open it.

…

At that moment, outside the teaching building, Wu Mo quickly walked toward Jiang Mengyao who was waiting for him.

“How did it go? Did you give pass our gifts to the professor?”

Jiang Mengyao walked forward and asked with a face full of anticipation.

“I did. I even included the bracelet you made,” Wu Mo glanced at the office on the fifth floor and said with a smile.

“Alright… let’s go. Our dorm’s closing at eight o’clock. Hurry up and pack your things.”

“Um… When you say it that way, people will think that we’re living together.”

“Pfft… It’s just a slip of the tongue.”

The two of them left quickly as they joked around.

Right then, a burst of purple light gushed out of the window on the fifth floor of the teaching building.

[Equipment Evaluation: This piece of equipment has just reached Epic grade, but it is exquisite!]

Looking at the rapidly dropping points, Wu Mo’s expression remained calm.

Zhou Yan was the person who cared about him the most in the entire Divine Arms Academy. Even when he had skipped classes for a few months to tinker with the Divine weapon at home, she still gave him encouragement and care.

If it were not for her, Wu Mo would have been expelled long ago.

How would he have his current achievements?

Hence, Wu Mo did not spend those 8,000 points in vain.
