This person is called Asby Bauhaus, the second son of the only designated noble family in West Castle Town, the Bauhaus family. He usually acts arrogantly at school and is extremely at odds with Li Wei.
Asby shouted, and the Bauhaus family's minions echoed in agreement.
"Yes, that's right, Li Wei is a bastard who can only use fireball magic. He always acts like he's some big shot, like a mage lord, but he doesn't even go to school properly..."
"And when he sees people, he always has that strange smile, disgusting..."
"I heard Li Wei say that it's called a cilantro smile, which is ridiculous, how can cilantro even smile?"
Seeing the conversation going in a strange direction, the class teacher in the front row, George, quickly stopped it.
Teacher George explained, "Ahem, although Li Wei is indeed wild and rebellious, his magical talent is extremely rare, and his understanding of magical theory is one in ten thousand. In the last ShanDong Province Nine-schools Joint Examination, he outranked the second place by a full 50 points in the theoretical part, and he is very likely to become the top scorer in the elemental magic section of this year's ShanDong Province Magic Entrance Exam. It would be inappropriate to expel him for such a small matter..."
"Inappropriate my ass!" Asby slammed the table, spitting in anger, "Li Wei is an idiot with potential but no actual ability! He's already so old and still can only use fireball magic, it would make our Westburg Town High School lose face if people heard about it!"
"That's true, but Li Wei's fireball magic is quite powerful..." A passerby defended Li Wei, "I heard that the water monster that appeared in the mountains of West Village last year was blown up by him."
"He even made water monster barbecue, and many people went to eat it... I went too, and got a big piece of pork belly, slurp, it was so delicious, slurp..."
Everyone recalled the delicious taste of the water monster barbecue, and saliva flowed in the crowd.
Seeing Li Wei's good reputation, Asby felt uncomfortable.
Why should everyone support this smiley freak, brain-circuit-challenged, fish-loving idiot?
In the Xien Empire, magical geniuses would indeed be treated favorably, especially potential superstars like Li Wei, who could easily skip school.
Moreover, Li Wei is handsome.
But Asby believes he is the protagonist, and Li Wei, just a poor fellow, dares to enjoy privileges?
Are you worthy?
You are not.
Who is worthy then?
Me~~~(✺ω✺)
"Hmph, you poor people with fish lips don't even know what real power is." Asby continued his daily routine of badmouthing Li Wei, "What's the use of a powerful fireball? Can it defeat a Heavenly-ranked expert? Can it bring wealth and power?"
"I heard that the Ice Phoenix that was causing trouble in the Frozen North recently was blown up by a super fireball, I don't know if it's true or not..." The passerby continued to stir things up.
"Ah, shut up! Can you think before you speak?!" Asby jumped up and hit the passerby on the head, "The Ice Phoenix is something that requires all the top-ranked experts of the continent to join together to defeat, it's extremely terrifying! If a fireball could blow it up, what would the need for those experts?"
"I, Asby, am a professional mage, and I dare to say that this is absolutely made up. If it's not, I'll eat shit on a live stream!"
Boom!!!
As if in response to Asby's flag, there was a loud noise from the direction of West Village Mountain, causing a disturbance on the playground, and everyone imagined a scene of fish flying in the air from the explosion of a pond.
"Damn it, that reckless Li Wei is really getting more and more outrageous." George was worried. What if the mountain collapsed and the little genius Li Wei got hurt?
"Vina, don't go to your next class, go catch Li Wei now, I'm afraid this unlucky kid will cause some chaos."
"Teacher, I want to review." Vina obediently said, with the Magic Entrance Exam's impact on her future, no one dares to be lazy.
"You are the class president and should take responsibility." George smiled and patted Vina's shoulder, "Be good, if Li Wei goes crazy and blows up the school, I don't think you all will have the time for any damn review."
