Chapter 3 - MO SHI

Mo kept quiet as he did not have anything to say. Arguing with the old man was like mining using ones hands and it was not worthy it. "I am taking you to the military academy" the old man said. "No! I am not going to that place. Never." Mo shouted angrily. "Do you think you have a choice? Position eleven? Wow! What a great achievement. I could turn a blind eye to your previous results since you were position five but it's unbelievable. I must take you to the academy," the old man retorted. Mo kept quiet because he had nothing to say on the same. The results talked about everything. He had given the old man a chance to take him to the academy by performing poorly his exams.

"I am not going." he said with a determined look. "Since you do not want to go with him, I will give you an exam and if you fail to get at least ninety percent in each subject you will have to accompany me to the academy." The principal seemed prepared for that as he just took out twelve papers from the locker On seeing the papers ,Mo said with a shocked expression ,"old man I only take eight subjects. What do you mean by giving me all the twelve subjects done in this school? I am also in grade eleven, why is there grade twelve content and you expect me to get ninety percent each? Do you think am google?" "That's your problem .You can pack your things and follow us if you are not willing to do them. What is your choice?" The old man said with a grin on his face. "Ok .Fine I'll do it but once I have fulfilled your conditions you must promise me never to mention of taking me to that place .Are you happy now? "Mo was really irritated by this old man. He could not keep his composure in front of this old man. The old man really drove him crazy. "Hehe, I promise but if you can't meet the conditions, you should say goodbye to this school," the old man said.

Mo took the mathematics paper and started reading it. His jaw nearly dropped. He then took the English, Computer, Agriculture and all the other papers. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets because of what he saw. "What the..! Mo was forced to swallow the words he wanted to utter when he remembered the principal was present. "Old bastard!" Mo could not care anymore as he cursed, "How do you expect me to complete a full mathematics paper in 20 minutes? You also expect to do all the other 11 papers within two and three fourths hours! That's 15 minutes for each paper. Are you mad! Why don't you do the papers yourself! " "Hehe, you agreed to do them so stop wasting your time. If you can't do it pack your things, oh, it's not a must. Let's just leave. You don't need anything there from this school." He said with a snort. Mo took the papers and left the principal's office. When he was outside the administration he found a seat and a desk. He knew he was supposed to take his exams from there.

In the class Ryu who was a friend of Mo asked his friend, Bien if he knew what was going on when he saw Mo outside writing on papers. Bien told him he didn't have a clue about that. "Maybe he has made a mistake and he's probably paying for it," "Should we go to the class teacher and ask her to help him and lessen the punishment since he seldom make mistakes?" "Let's wait, maybe he's not in the wrong. You know how that fellow is afraid of getting into troublesome matters." Ryu said. Of all things Mo did, he always made sure not to get into trouble. He had only been punished twice since he joined the school two and a half years ago. Outside, Mo nearly exploded from anger. That old man always made sure to cross his path. Can't he just understand the benefit of keeping a low profile? He forcefully calmed himself and focused on what he was doing after all, the time he was given was shorter than that of a normal student. After the time was over the old man came and took the papers. He did not let a single second to pass after the given time was over. He gave the principal the papers and left with his two bodyguards. When he walked by Mo he grinned and said, "Goodbye kiddo." " I am not your kid! " Mo shouted and hurriedly walked towards the class. The two bodyguards asked, "Sir, he…Do you need us to do anything?" "Don't mind him, he's like that." The old man told his bodyguards. They were shocked by that boy who dared to shout at their boss.
