What really makes me depressed is that the white robed magic teacher is always appearing in my life. Every time I bring Xiao Jin out to play at night, I almost always encounter him. This teacher bothers me and I can’t hide from him no matter how hard I try. For this reason, I have tried moving to many different places. But this old man is like a shadow, I can’t hide from him after all this time. In any case, I definitely do not recognize him as my teacher. See if he can make me, hehe. I don’t want to live a restricted life!
This fellow, Ma Ke, is simply too willful. Everyday he always goes to bother whats her name (until now I still do not know what that girl’s name is, and I haven’t even met her. I don’t want to be thought of as some kind of red haired rice cake (Note: Red haired rice cake is nickname students gave to Ma Ke. Who made it so that he stuck onto people in such a way. Haha.) Although he frequently wore a beaten nose and a clearly swollen face, he still never tires of it. It really suits him. According to what he says, he’s making a lot of progress. Although all the girls don’t bother to take notice of him, now he generally doesn’t get beaten up anymore because that girl’s older brother is the fourth grade’s chief and may have been touched by Ma Ke’s actions. He gave Ma Ke a mission, that is as long as Ma Ke’s magic level exceeds his own, he will let Ma Ke chase after his little sister. Since then, Ma Ke desperately practiced everyday as if he were mad. Right now when compared to me, nothing is lacking. He is growing quite rapidly.
“Ma Ke, lets go eat.” Class had just ended.
“Oh!” I recently discovered that he practices himself silly. As if apart from practicing, there is nothing else worth caring about.
“That pretty girl has come looking for you.”
“Where, where?!” Ma Ke’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Boss, You don’t have any other brothers, and yet you deceive me!” complained Ma Ke when he didn’t see the girl.
“Brat, You’ve been bewitched. Is she really that attractive?”
“You wouldn’t know. When I saw her, I was already content.” Ma Ke’s eyes revealed hearts ?. He is truly insufferable.
“Right, whats her name? Even now I still don’t know it.”
“What will you do with it ???” Ma Ke looked at me with an alert expression.
I kicked him with my leg. “Bah! When have you become so infatuated that I can’t ever know the name of this pretty girl.“
“Oh, Her name is Hai Yue Xing. Her older brother’s name is Hai Ri Xing.”
“Her name isn’t bad. Have you made any progress recently?”
“I’m still looking for an opportunity. She still doesn’t pay attention to me. Compared to her, her brother is more friendly. Oh right. Boss, this brother asked me several times who treats my wounds!”
“Did you tell him?” I asked nervously.
“I didn’t. I could never betray you. Truly.” Ma Ke said with a smile.
“You also suffer so much, letting them practice Kung Fu on you all day long.”
“I still have you to take care of me. For my life’s happiness, I must practice magic diligently.” It seems having a goal isn’t bad. I also have a goal. It is to be free! Hehe.
“Hurry, if we’re late there won’t be food.” Having Ma Ke remind me immediately brought forth my vigor and I ran. Eating food is a very important part of my life! I ate, I ate, I ate and ate and ate.
After we finished eating, Ma Ke went to the dormitory to meditate, and I also thought of going back and taking a nap so I went with him. While walking, Ma Ke suddenly stopped.
“What are you doing?” I nudged him.
“Boss, look, it’s her.”
I looked where Ma Ke’s finger pointed to, and sure enough it was Hai Yue Xing. By her side were 3,4 academy students. This was the second time that I have seen her.
“Boss, lets go over and say hello.”
“If you want to go, go by yourself. I don’t want people to think I’m like you, the academy’s famous Red Haired Rice Cake.”
“Fine, boss. You want to see who’s more famous? I can’t possibly be worse than you, the White Rice Bucket.”
“You’re looking to get a beating, brat!” Am I really that famous? How did I not notice?
“Come on boss, I’d feel a lot braver if you went along!” Really, there is nothing that can be done. Ma Ke pulled me across.
“Wa, today not only do we meet with Red Haired Rice Cake, even the White Rice Bucket came to pursue you too!” A girl at Hai Yue’s side said with a smile.
And yet I didn’t notice them. I only saw the 15 year old student wearing a fire magic robe. Wa! He’s really strong! With such a ferocious aura, he gave me the impression that he wasn’t any weaker than the Old Devil. He also noticed me and our gazes met. Within his eyes burst a shining brilliance.

Volume 2: Chapter 13 – Competition Without a Choice
“You’re that second year student known as the White Rice Bucket?” The student wearing the fire magic robe was not like the others, who had their attention focused on Hai Yue and Ma Ke. Rather, he was unblinkingly looked at me. He must be Hai Yue’s older brother Hai Ri Xing.
“Hello, my name is Zhang Gong Wei, a second grader majoring in light magic. You are?” I replied.
“I am Hai Ri Xing. You’re good friends with this piece of sticky rice cake?” Hai Ri pointed at Ma Ke.
I hesitated and said, “Yes, we are very good friends.”
“With that said, are you the one that treated his injuries from before?” Hai Ri menacingly questioned.
“Wa! Kind of..”
“It’s either yes or no, what is it!?”
“Yes, I used light recovery magic to treat him.”
“Then today I will get to see how well you can treat your own injuries.”said Hai Ri from the bottom of his lungs with a formidable vigor. “Let us exchange pointers.”
Just when Hai Ri advanced toward me uninterrupted, Ma Ke did not fare much better than me. Everybody by Hai Yue simply didn’t pay attention to him as he desperately tried to make them laugh.
A third year girl by Hai Yue’s side scolded him: “You Red Haired Rice Cake, always coming to stick to us and asking how we’re doing. You alone are like a toad that is trying to eat swan meat!”
Ma Ke helplessly answered: “I can’t do anything about that. Who made me fall in love with her at first sight?!” This kid’s skin isn’t of ordinary thickness. As expected.
Hai Yue finally said, “You are very bothersome, can you not annoy me? You’re so young and rotten; you’ll grow up to be a playboy.”
Hearing Hai Yue’s words, Ma Ke was immediately enchanted by her voice, like that of a black-naped oriole. As for the words they contained, well…
Looking at Ma Ke’s eyes change into hearts ? and not replying, Hai Yue impatiently said: “Hey, did you hear me!?”
“Ah! What? What did you just say?”
“I said you were very bothersome….” Hai Yue furiously repeated.
Ma Ke chuckled, “I promise you that if I annoy you to death that you alone will be the only girl I will have ever liked. Is this fine?”
“You, you, you!” Hai Yue had already become speechless from anger. At this time, Ma Ke discovered that the atmosphere at our side was amiss.
“Who is your boss? Answer quickly. Do you agree to exchange pointers?” The first sentence was addressed to Ma Ke. The sentence after is aimed at the poor and pitiful me.
“Elder Brother, can we not fight? I pay my respects to Elder Brother as your younger brother. You wouldn’t bully your younger brother right?”
Everyone forms a circle around us, “This guy truly is a good for nothing. He doesn’t have a backbone.”
“Come here! Backbone? I’ll show you how much backbone I have. Do you still value your pitiful life?!” I secretly wanted to say.
Even Ma Ke could not lift his head, “Wa, I don’t have such a boss, so shameful.”
I step forward to grab Ma Ke, “Brat, you still have the cheek to say something like that? Were it not for you, I wouldn’t be forced by everyone to exchange pointers.”
