Chapter 7: Fast Punch within Seven Steps
The first semester ended, Xu Fan and Mo Fan were packing up each other's things. They had to go back home for the winter vacation, and Mo Fan finally found an opportunity to show off his lightning magic to Xu Fan.

"Brother Xu, you used to be Brother Dafan and I was Brother Xiaofan, but I recently discovered something was wrong. Your age was false. How come you are exactly one year older than Xinxia?"

"Why do you have any objection?"

Xu Fan packed up his things quickly. He remembered that someone seemed to be looking for trouble with Xinxia today.

"Hey, we are mages. How can a mage not fight? Should we have a good fight?"

Mo Fan sneered. He was born with dual elements and with the help of the Little Loach Pendant, it was easy for him to crush Xu Fan who only had the Light element!

"You want to spar with me? Sure, we'll have a good fight when we get back, but I have to tell you in advance, no crying allowed!"

Xu Fan smiled and said that he had already packed his things and picked up his suitcase to go to Mingwen Girls' Middle School.

"I've told you in advance that being teary-eyed doesn't count as crying!"

Mo Fan was still laughing. Basic light magic was basically just a light bulb to humans and had no killing power at all.

"Huh, just wait!"

Xu Fan glanced at Mo Fan and walked towards the bus stop, and Mo Fan followed him. Xu Fan had no objection to this. He was more than happy to have someone willing to help him with his luggage.

Ye Xinxia slowly pushed her wheelchair towards the door. She calculated the time and thought Xu Fan would not be here until three o'clock in the afternoon. She didn't mind waiting for him for an hour.

But someone blocked her way.

"Hey! Ye Xinxia, ​​our boss wants to see you!"

Ye Xinxia's face changed slightly, and she turned around and pushed the wheelchair to take a detour, but was blocked again.

"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. If you obey our boss, you will be our sister-in-law in the future, and we will naturally respect you more!"

"If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us brothers for being rude!"

The leader sneered, and Ye Xinxia subconsciously turned around to ask the school teachers for help.

However, these people took advantage of the school's holidays and the chaotic management to come and cause trouble. Otherwise, they would never have the opportunity to enter the girls' middle school in a brazen manner.

Ye Xinxia didn't say anything. She planned to go back to the dormitory and wait for Xu Fan's arrival. However, those people became impatient and surrounded Ye Xinxia directly.

The four of them took one corner each and were about to carry the wheelchair and Ye Xinxia away.

Ye Xinxia was startled and had to stand up with difficulty, but several people snatched her suitcase and put it on the wheelchair.

"Put your stuff down!"

Xu Fan and the other person happened to see this scene. Xu Fan shouted angrily, and in a flash, he was already beside Ye Xinxia.

Ye Xinxia had only been standing for a while when she was already sweating profusely. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Fan coming, and leaned weakly against Xu Fan's side.

"Where did you come from, you little hooligans? How dare you challenge my sister-in-law!"

Mo Fan came to Xu Fan carrying two suitcases and looked at the four gangsters with unfriendly eyes. Although Xu Fan had only awakened light magic, this did not affect his admiration for Xu Fan.

"If you don't want to get beaten, stay away! This is the man our boss is targeting!"

The four hooligans still didn't care. I had the advantage of four against two.

"Fight? What's the point of knowing how to fight? You have to show your strength when you come out."

"It has to be magic! What magic have you awakened?"

Xu Fan had just finished speaking when Mo Fan took over the conversation. Then they smiled at each other. They were probably the only two people in the world who could understand each other's feelings.

"W-what...magic? Do you have magic?"

The gangster said in panic, already breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Turns out they are just a bunch of punks!" the two said in unison, which annoyed the four thugs.

"Everyone, come together. They are so young and may not know any magic!"

The gangster said in a stern voice, and with a wave of his hand, four people were about to attack the two men.

"Thunder Seal——"

Mo Fan was furious and was about to release lightning magic. Purple light bloomed in his pupils and traces of electricity appeared at his fingertips, but someone was faster than him.

A figure flashed by, and Xu Fan quickly threw out four punches. The four thugs flew out in the same posture and fell heavily to the ground, each of them spitting out a few back teeth.

“——Python Mark!”

Mo Fan's magic was finally constructed, but he had lost his target, so he had to release it on a tree nearby, leaving a charred patch on the tree.

"It's actually magic. Mo Fan is really different now. And Xu Fan is the same. The eight years of fishing were not wasted! His attack was beyond our reach."

The gangsters were shocked. They had known these two people before, but they had never been so strong.

"Now I'll give you a chance to beat up your boss, or you'll get a taste of magic!"

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a golden light fell on the tree beside him. The traces left by Mo Fan and the bark suddenly disappeared, revealing the charred trunk.

The gangsters quickly got up and ran towards the boss. They knew very well that the reason Xu Fan did not use magic to attack them directly was that he wanted them to save their energy to teach the main culprit a lesson.

They had no objection to this. Now Xu Fan and Mo Fan were no longer from the same world as them. They had become honorable wizards.

The Master Mage wants to teach them a lesson, and there are many people who want to do it for him.

The gangsters fled away in a hurry, and the surroundings finally became quiet.

"Xu...Brother Xu, there seems to be some problem with your magic!"

Mo Fan said in a low voice that the little gangster was ignorant. He knew that the initial stage of the orthodox light system had no attack power.

"Well, keep it a secret for me!"

Xu Fan didn't care and pushed Ye Xinxia away.

"Oh, by the way, you said you wanted to spar, right?"

Xu Fan suddenly stopped and said something meaningful. Mo Fan had no choice but to smile awkwardly, pick up the three suitcases and follow him.

"No, you heard it wrong!"

Mo Fan shook his head like a rattle and denied it immediately.

"Don't worry, I don't use magic!"

"Really?"

Mo Fan asked excitedly.

"Of course! But which one is faster, your magic or my punch?"

Xu Fan smiled.

"Well, within seven steps, punches are fast, and beyond seven steps, magic is fast!"

Mo Fan answered immediately, but regretted it right after he finished answering. It seemed that the distance of seven steps was a little short.

"No, seven steps away, my spells are faster!"

Xu Fan corrected himself, and then left the confused Mo Fan behind and pushed Ye Xinxia towards the station.
