Chapter 27: But I Like You
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Mo Fei had buried himself in books for three whole days and finally ushered in the first placement test of the Imperial College.
The Imperial College was worthy as the No. 1 college of the empire. It was incredibly huge. It took Mo Fei over half an hour to find the examination room. He nearly missed the test.
As an auditor, Mo Yi also took the test.
There were eight courses in total. The first was body arts. Mo Fei got beaten up by the examiner during the test. He crawled up and got knocked down, on and on, with a bloody nose and a swollen face at last. In the following tests, it was all dark.
“Young master, how did it go?” Mo Yi walked to Mo Fei’s side and asked.
Wearing a turgid face, Mo Fei said, “I got beaten up!”
Mo Yi said sympathetically, “Young master, your body art examiner is really heartless.”
Mo Fei’s face darkened, “Yeah, he is.”
Not long after Mo Fei and Mo Yi returned to Prince Yu’s manor, Lou Yu stormed at them.
His voice was heard through the whole manor even before he showed up, “Mo Fei, get out!”
Mo Yi looked at Mo Fei, asking, “Young master, judging from his tone, Prince Yu is kind of pissed off.”
Mo Fei blinked, “So easy on the trigger. I suspect if he has mania!”
Mo Yi, “...”
“Body arts: 30, spiritual power application: 42, interstellar history: 33, pharmaceutics: 64, interstellar math: 54, interstellar literature: 23...The highest one is only 64. Mo Fei, are you challenging my bottom line?” Lou Yu then held the transcript before Mo Fei’s face.
Mo Fei rubbed his nose awkwardly, “How dare I challenge you? You must be kidding, my prince.”
“Do you have anything to say about your scores?” asked Lou Yu.
Mo Fei straightened his back, like being enlightened, “Facts prove that it’s no use making effort at the last moment. So from now on, I’m gonna study very hard, thoroughly reform myself and study my ass off.”
Lou Yu looked at Mo Fei and snorted, “I hope you’d be a man of your words.”
Mo Fei nodded, “Of course I will try my best.”
Watching Lou Yu walk away, Mo Fei exhaled a long breath, “Alas! God damn! Prince Yu is so annoying!”
Mo Yi looked at Mo Fei, “Young master, you’d better get yourself prepared. School opens tomorrow.”
Mo Fei nodded, “Yes, yes.”
Mo Fei walked into the classroom. There were 88 students in the elite class while this classroom could accommodate over 100. The seats in the middle were left for students of the elite class, and the two sides were for auditors.
Once Mo Fei entered the classroom, he found an acquaintance.
On seeing Lin Feiyu, Mo Fei’s eyelids twitched. Prince Yu’s sweetheart, Prince Feng’s fiancée! He could not afford offending him!
Far from Lin Feiyu, Mo Fei took a seat at the auditors’ zone with Mo Yi.
Mo Fei sat on his seat, looking quite sullen, “Mo Yi, I feel like no one likes me here.”
“But I like you!” said a boy with a chubby face cheerly.

Mo Fei asked surprisingly while looking at Yan Chen, “You like me? What do you like about me?”
Yan Chen was radiant with joys, “I didn’t do well in the exam and thought I would be the tailender. I never expected that you took that place. And I was last but one. I am so happy!”
MO Fei, “...” Do you have to be so happy to be the second last?!
Yan Chen said, “The seats are arranged by the rankings. We all have our own numbers. Those with high scores sit in the front. Ours are in the back. Let’s go sit in the middle. If no one sits in his own seat, he’d be taken as a truant.”
Mo Fei, “...” So crafty! How am I gonna skip the class then?
