《I Established A Magic School After I Failed the CEE!》 Chapter 1 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After graduating from high school, Lex was not admitted to any university. Because his grades were not good and especially because of his parents¡¯ background and their financial situation, it was impossible for them to support Lex to go to university. But Lex was not ready to give up. He knew how important a good university was in this world. One¡¯s job depended on one¡¯s academic qualifications. If one were to be promoted, the employers would give priority to those with higher academic qualifications. Even if one was looking for a girlfriend, they would also give priority to those with higher academic qualifications. 3 If one entered a good university, their knowledge, status, and income would be completely different. What was more important was networking in the university. If it was a bad university, the friends in the university would not be of any use to them. They might even be a burden. Lex understood this deeply because he was a transmigrator from another world. 10 He was like this in the other world. Because he did not have a degree, he was discriminated against. Because he was not from a good university, he had the lowest job and received the lowest salary. His girlfriend also broke up with him because he was not from a good university and married someone who graduated from a famous university. 34 Therefore, this time, Lex really wanted to enter a university. Unfortunately, when he transmigrated, all the exams had already ended. He could only wait silently to accept the result. The result was, of course, a failure. 3 No university was willing to recruit Lex. 1 This world was also a world that placed great importance on academic qualifications. Students with high academic qualifications were equivalent to nobles. 3 No one felt that it was wrong for them to enjoy all kinds of respect and privileges in society. 2 However, if they did not have academic qualifications? They would be discriminated against in society. 1 Not to mention a Lex who did not even get into a university. 3 He already knew how miserable his future would be. With his current results, no university was willing to accept him. Even if there were, it would be a very poor university that had no teaching qualifications, was private, cheated money, and had no use at all. 1 Such a degree was a shameful existence in itself. Very few people would go, and it would be a waste of money if they were accepted. 3 Lex did not want his parents to be completely disappointed in him. 3 In this world, Lex¡¯s parents were extremely good to him. They were frugal and gave almost everything to Lex. They had given everything for Lex to be able to go to university. However, Lex had always let them down. Thinking of this, Lex felt that if he had the chance, he must break this inequality. In the future, he must create a university so that every student who failed to make the cut could go to university. 20 The moment this idea appeared, a voice sounded in Lex¡¯s mind. 4 [ Ding! Host target detected! ] 10 [ System triggered! ] 4 [ System successfully activated! ] [ -LSB- newcomer mission reward sent! ] 13 This series of unfamiliar voices appeared directly in Lex¡¯s mind. 3 He was completely stunned. However, what followed was an influx of joy. This was the system! 1 The golden finger that every transmigrator must have! 3 With the help of the system, wouldn¡¯t you be able to rise to the top in the future? ¡°System! Quickly tell me, what use do you have! What can you help me with?¡± -LSB- answered the host¡¯s question: [ Just like the host¡¯s wish, this system aims to help the host build a world-class famous school! ] The robotic and emotionless voice resonated. [ The host can recruit students through any means. As long as the students are successfully nurtured, they will be able to achieve something! ] 3 [ The system will reward the host according to the degree of the students¡¯ achievements. ] 6 After listening to the system¡¯s introduction, Lex was very happy. He did not expect that a random thought of his would trigger the system perfectly. This way, he could follow his own thoughts and build a world-class famous school. This system came at the right time. But soon after, a new voice appeared in the system: [ Academy courses include: Light Magic, Dark Magic, Familiar magic ] 18 [ Your academy will teach the most outstanding magic users! ] [ They are called Mages! ] 4 [ After absorbing the exquisite magic power that pervades the universe, mages can use spells to generate explosive flames and arcs of lightning, or use subtle deception or strong mental control. ] 1 [ Their spells can summon monsters from other planes of existence, peek into the future through the cracks of time, and turn enemy corpses into zombies that obey their orders. ] [ Their most powerful spells can transform matter, summon meteorites, or even tear apart dimensional barriers, opening portals to other worlds. ] 9 Lex, who was still immersed in his surprise, was completely stunned by these words! After hearing this request, Lex was dumbfounded. If this was an ordinary university, it would be everywhere in the world. In a modern era where technology and industry were flourishing, who would believe in magic? If learning magic was not a novel, who would believe it? 2 ¡°Magic University¡­ Magic University¡­¡± After reciting it a few times, Lex became even more determined. 1 He originally wanted to establish a completely different university to break the original education system. If it was just like other schools, then what was the point of establishing a university? Magic University, breaking the rules! 3 It was the university that he wanted. As expected, the system knew exactly what he wanted! 1 ¡°Hahahaha! Good! Let¡¯s set up a Magic University!¡± 4 However, Lex also knew that it was not an easy thing to set up a university. Whether it was a magic university or an ordinary university. First of all, money was essential. There was also the issue of location and time required to set up the school. It was impossible for him to become a teacher himself, so he had to find a qualified teacher. 6 No matter what kind of school it was, it required the approval of the state and the issuance of a qualification certificate. Only when it was registered in the Education Department could a university be established. 3 All these things were not so simple. Lex¡¯s current situation could not even meet the most basic requirements. To establish a university, it was impossible to do it without tens of millions of dollars. If it was a top university, it would be more than hundreds of millions. He was only a failed student and his family was very poor. It was impossible for him to support himself to build a university. Most importantly, the location of the university. It was impossible for him to build a university. He had to buy a piece of land or the government would have to give it to him. He was a failed student. How could he get the government¡¯s land? All the enterprises were eyeing the land given by the government. No matter how high the price was, they would buy it. 8 Because once they had the land, no matter what they did, they would make money. And in the education industry, it was very difficult to make money. No one could afford to build a school. 5 After that, there were more things to do. Hiring teachers and getting a government qualification certificate. This also required a lot of connections to complete. Thinking of this, Lex did not know what to do. 1 It seemed that even with the help of the system, it was very difficult to establish an academy. There was no easy place to start. Suddenly, Lex seemed to remember something. Didn¡¯t he have a novice gift bag? ¡°System! Help me open the Newbie Gift Bag 1!¡± Lex ordered the system. As soon as he finished speaking, the system completed the task. [ Ding! The Newbie Gift Bag is being opened! ] [ Ding! The Newbie Gift Bag has been successfully opened. It has all been placed in the system space. Host, please take note and check! ] When the system¡¯s voice notification was completed, Lex immediately opened the system space to see what was in his newbie gift bag. When he saw the newbie gift bag, he was pleasantly surprised. The system¡¯s reward was¡­ 16 Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the system space, all the documents regarding the establishment and study appeared. 4 These documents were listed on the virtual page one by one. Lex immediately took out all the documents. The system had solved all the problems he had previously considered. The most important point was that the system had rewarded him with a piece of land! [ Land Ownership Certificate ] Owner: Lex. 1 Area: 3.5 million square meters. 28 Location: Draconic Mountain 7 Seeing this, Lex was filled with joy. He knew that this Draconic Mountain was not far from the city, even though it was called a mountain. However, there were only a few small slopes. The other places were all plains. The scenery there was beautiful, with mountains and rivers. 2 It was a good place to set up a university. And it was far away from the pollution and noise of the city, very quiet. 2 Many people wanted to develop the land into a tourist area to make money, but the government refused on environmental grounds. But the system was amazing. It could not be known how Lex had acquired the land in the Draconic Mountain. This was enough to make any business envious and pay a lot of money to buy it. As long as Lex was willing to sell this land, he would immediately become a billionaire! But that was not all that surprised Lex. Kasage University¡¯s School documents! Owner: Lex. Lex had never heard of this institution. But with this document, it meant that the university must exist. And it was all done. Lex read on, and the more he read, the more frightened he became. All the official documents needed to run the school, the admission permit, the building permit, and the property rights for the house. 4 Everything that he had been worried about, the system had done for him. 1 In other words, from now on, Lex was the president of Kasage University! 12 Although Lex did not know how the system did it, it must be true. He was getting more and more excited. He wanted to know how to make this school a world-class university. 4 One had to know that there were many private universities in the country, but only a few of them were truly memorable. They had decades, or even hundreds of years of history. 3 The foundations of the schools, the donations of the graduates, the excellence of the teachers, and the continuous flow of money. All of these allowed these schools to maintain their status as first-class famous universities. It was extremely difficult for ordinary universities to challenge these famous universities. This was because these schools had already become synonymous with famous universities. Lex wanted to create a famous university like them. 11 No, more famous than the traditional famous schools. 1 Let Kasage University overpower all the famous schools and become the face of all the famous schools. He wanted to change the way education was conducted, the traditional flow of teachers teaching and students listening. 6 It was too simple, too repetitive. Students only read books to learn, but what he wanted to build was a free, cheerful and innovative university. Let everyone play to their strengths! 12 Many people who were very talented but couldn¡¯t get into other universities would also get the chance to go to university. 10 Don¡¯t let their talents be buried. Let these talented people become experts in their own fields, world-class top people. 3 This thing may be very difficult, very difficult to complete. But his heart was very firm. 12 He felt that he must complete this matter; this was his dream. No matter how hard it was, no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely persevere. After that, Lex put the documents back into the system, lest they were lost. Just as he was about to go to Kasage University to take a look, he suddenly heard a voice. ¡°Lex!¡± He turned his head to look, it was a blonde girl wearing a school uniform with a ponytail. 8 Lex would never forget this girl. He was too familiar with her. This was his classmate, Emma. 2 She was also the school belle of his high school. She was extremely beautiful. 7 ¡°What can I do for you, Emma?¡± To be honest, they had very little interaction with each other. They barely spoke in high school. 2 Not only was Emma good-looking, her grades were also quite good. 1 She could enter any famous school at will and was a top student of a famous school. Moreover, in any knowledge competition, Emma could get the best grades. She was a genius. A genius among geniuses. Lex was very handsome and could be considered the most handsome man in high school. 11 Many students thought that the two of them were very compatible. 1 However, Lex¡¯s only shortcoming was that his grades were too bad. The students who came later would not mention the fact that the two of them were a good match. Lex and Emma had very few opportunities to talk. He just did not expect Emma to take the initiative to talk to him today. This caught Lex by surprise. ¡°Lex! Don¡¯t give up! If you go back to high school, there might still be a chance!¡± 13 Emma came to comfort him. She had been admitted to a good and famous university, but when she knew that Lex had not been admitted to any university, she had immediately come to look for him. 4 He would definitely be sad if Lex did not have the chance to go to university. However, a university degree was a symbol of status in society. If he were admitted to a famous university, he would almost certainly enter the upper class. 1 As long as he maintained good grades in university, his future would be very bright. However, Emma could not find out what was going on, so she unconsciously thought of Lex. ¡°Re-enter High School?¡± Lex smiled coldly. 9 He had not considered this option at all. If he had not obtained the system before, he might have really chosen this path. But now, he was different. He had a bigger goal. 1 Emma only had one thought. If he could not get into university, he had to repeat his studies! If he lost the chance to get into university, he would not have a future! ¡°I have no interest in repeating my studies!¡± Lex directly rejected Emma¡¯s suggestion. After hearing her answer, Emma was a little angry. She questioned Lex. ¡°What are you going to do if you don¡¯t go to University? Become the most basic and tiring worker in the factory? Or clean the streets? Or become a vagrant?¡± 21 ¡°I¡¯m going to be the president of a university!¡± 5 Lex smiled faintly. After leaving these words, he turned around and left. 3 He did not care about Emma who was frozen in place. Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Lex boarded the bus and headed for the Draconic Mountains. 2 He wanted to see for himself what his university looked like. After about two hours of bus ride, he arrived at the address of the school on the document. Kasage University. When he saw the place, his face was filled with shock. In his memory, the Draconic Mountain region used to be an empty plain. However, he did not know when a university had been built here. 4 It had an extremely luxurious gate. 3 This was a medieval-style structure. The ground was covered with green lawns, crimson pebbles and castle-like buildings. The distant church was filled with pigeons. 7 Lex stood in the sunlight and felt as though he had traveled through time again. The system was really amazing. Even the school had been built for him; he did not have to worry about anything. 5 On the door was carved: Kasage University! It was like an ancient castle, similar to the manors of the old nobles in the TV series. 3 It was extremely luxurious. Now, it belonged to Lex. He was the principal here. He walked in directly. An emotionless voice sounded: ¡°Identity confirmed!¡± ¡°Welcome to Kasage University, Principal!¡± 3 The door slowly opened, and Lex¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. This academy was filled with the aura of magic everywhere. 1 The most eye-catching building was a huge castle next to a lake. There was a wide grassland outside the castle. 5 There were flower beds and vegetable gardens. There was a lake beside the castle, but it did not have a name for the time being. 4 In the academy, there was a dense forest. There were a few greenhouses and other ancillary buildings. There were even huts for owls. 7 In addition, there was a standard stadium. The audience seats were lined up. It was almost like the Colosseum in Rome. 4 It was incomparably brilliant and grand. The highest points of the entire academy were three towers. One of them was an astronomical tower, and there was a huge telescope. 2 There were many steps in the castle. Some of the steps were wide and long, while others were narrow and short. They went on and on. Other than that, there was a beautifully decorated door. It would open automatically when one walked in front of it. There were also many paintings on the walls. The people in those paintings seemed to be alive. 5 There were knights, nobles, and ladies. When the people in the paintings saw Lex, they all bowed to him. 7 When he entered the academy, he felt as though he had entered a world of magic. There were luxurious castles, golden decorations, and countless crystal chandeliers on the dome. 1 In the middle of the academy was a large square, and there was a fountain that was more than ten meters tall in the square. 4 He walked around and felt that the academy was simply beautiful. The equipments were not only magical but also modern technology. They were all cleverly hidden in inconspicuous places. Just by looking at the place, one could feel that it was a top university. There were student apartments and a cafeteria. There were candles that lit up automatically when one walked over. 6 These products of modern technology magic made Lex feel like he was walking into a dream. 3 The food gushed out from the Holy Grail. 7 Any food he wanted would be available. 3 Moreover, the taste was quite delicious. The best part was that the university would automatically clean up any rubbish. There was no need for extra staff to clean it up. As long as Lex could think of something, the school would be equipped with it. 1 Regardless of whether it was the students or the teachers, they would all feel that this was the best university. Now, the matter of the academy had been resolved perfectly. 1 However, the most important thing was that this academy was still too empty. There was everything but no one. Since this was a magic academy, Lex had already made up his mind. He did not intend to recruit teachers. He wanted to establish a free academy without a strict teacher system. Everyone could be a student, and everyone could also be a teacher. 8 All the courses would be decided by the students themselves. He wanted to establish the world¡¯s first academy without teachers. 15 Ordinary knowledge was not taught here, so the teachers outside had no effect at all. 5 This allowed the students to freely learn what they wanted to learn, instead of sticking to the strict teaching system. That was the most important thing. What he needed to do was to give them a platform, so that those who failed in the exam but were talented could learn magic, which could help them display their talents and imagination. 4 Since that was the case, he only needed to recruit students. Right now was an opportunity. There were many students like him who could not go to university. They would be the first batch of students in the Magic Academy. However, Kasage University had just been established, so no one knew about this school. It was the same for him. It was his first time coming here. It was a magic academy. How could ordinary people believe that there was a school that taught magic? 1 Even if the school had all the government certificates, it would still be difficult to recruit students. 1 At most, some people would think that this was some kind of weird drama academy. Hence, Lex was not going to use the traditional method of recruiting students. Most importantly, Lex did not have anyone by his side. 2 He was the only one in the entire academy. Even if he went around recruiting others, no one would believe him. They would even treat him as a fool. How could a person who did not even get into a university recruit other students? Therefore, Lex could only choose one path, which was to recruit students online. 5 This was the fastest and most effective method. What he wanted to recruit was not students with good results in the traditional sense. Instead, it was the most talented, imaginative, and brilliant students. 10 Only those who believed in magic would come to the Magic Academy. 3 Otherwise, no matter what you said to a person, as long as they did not believe in magic in this world, they would think that you were a liar. 1 Therefore, he could only use the internet to recruit those who believed in magic to become students. 1 ¡°System, help me establish a recruitment website!¡± 14 Lex knew that such a small matter was easy for the system. 2 After all, the system could create an entire academy, so a recruitment website was very simple. As soon as he finished speaking, the system¡¯s voice appeared: [ Ding! The recruitment website has been established. Do you wish to publish it? ] ¡°Publish it!¡± Lex said. 6 Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Without any hesitation, Lex chose to release the website that the system had completed. 5 He was not in a hurry. He trusted the system very much. The system was so powerful that it could even obtain school buildings and real estate. 4 A mere recruitment website was definitely child¡¯s play. Now, he only needed to wait for the results of the recruitment. In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed. 2 During these few days, Lex had been sitting in front of the computer, looking at the recruitment website that the system had created for her. 3 However, for a few days in a row, not a single person had applied for Kasage University. 1 It was not that no one had seen Kasage¡¯s recruitment website. On the contrary, this website was rather popular on the internet. But when they saw that it was a magic school, no one believed that it was a normal school. They thought it was an imitation of Harry Potter. 4 The pictures of the castle buildings, the location of the school, the content of the teaching. They were all just made up. 1 Because the introduction of the website was too beautiful. Every point was told as if it were true. But everyone knew that there was no magic in the world. 6 No one believed that this was a real university. Moreover, these few days were also the crucial time for the various colleges to admit students. Rather than believing in an unrealistic magic school, it was better to go to another school and try your luck. 1 If you wanted to go to a university, you couldn¡¯t wait at home to be admitted. Instead, you had to apply and wait for the school to agree. As long as you met the school¡¯s requirements, the school would issue an admission notice. The most important thing was the academic result. The higher the results, the greater the chance of success. A really good university could receive thousands of applications a day. Those very poor universities could only have a chance to find students after the admission of those famous universities ended. But those remaining students were most likely those who didn¡¯t study hard and just muddled along. The true elite class had already been segregated when they entered the university stage. As for Kasage University, it was obvious that it was not even the most basic and poor university. Many people took one look and felt that it was some kind of prank. Only a fool would apply for this academy. Lex looked at his own website for a while, but still, no one applied. He sighed and left. It was almost noon. He would come back after lunch. .. At the same time, on the other side of the city. A male student dressed in hip-hop clothes was looking at his computer in disappointment. 3 This male student was called Craig. 14 He was a student who had just graduated from high school. Like those who failed to get in, his grades were very bad. It was almost impossible to get into a good university. In the past few days, he had applied to dozens of universities. But he had been rejected. He also knew that with his current grades, there was no university in the country that would accept him. But in order not to let his parents down, he could only continue to use common sense. If he was lucky enough to be accepted by a university, he could also fulfill his parents¡¯ wishes. 1 Although the thought was beautiful, the reality was always very cruel. He applied to more than a dozen universities, but none of them were willing to admit him. 2 Although Craig¡¯s grades were poor, he liked reading novels. 1 He liked to read all kinds of novels, and he liked the beautiful magical worlds in the novels. Those stories about time travel, rebirth, and shining in the other world. The reality was so boring; such a boring world. Why couldn¡¯t it be colorful? But because of reading novels all the time, his grades were not ideal. 11 His parents also felt that he was not doing his job. 1 He could only vent his anger with music and rock¡¯n¡¯roll. 4 Once, he held a guitar and sang in the square. Hundreds of people stopped and applauded for him. Even so, Craig had to face the reality that he couldn¡¯t go to college and any other dreams were just empty talk. 4 At this time, an interface appeared on Craig¡¯s computer. Seeing the school enrollment, he unconsciously clicked on it. After entering the website, he was attracted by the image of the enrollment full of magic. What the recruitment website described was the snow in his imagination. A world full of magic! Especially the school buildings, the castles, the lawns, and the towers. It was as if his dream had come true. So there really was such a place in the world. ¡°This is the stage for you to realize your dream!¡± Freedom! Dream! Wasn¡¯t this what Craig wanted? If this school really existed, wasn¡¯t it built for him? But this school seemed too dreamy. Craig still couldn¡¯t believe it. So he started searching for the name of this school, Kasage University. He thought it was just a made-up school, but on the government¡¯s website, he confirmed that this school was legal. 4 This was a real university, which meant that people who graduated from this university could get the government¡¯s approval. 3 They had real diplomas. 1 This made Craig feel incredulous. Was it all real? This school actually existed, and it was the first time this year. Seeing this, Craig was very excited, and almost immediately began to fill in his information on the website. With an excited mood, he sent out his application. He had already been rejected by more than ten universities, and he was not sure if he would be accepted. Craig stared at his computer. Suddenly! A dialog box popped up! [ Congratulations on being accepted by Kasage University! ] 3 After reading this short sentence, Craig was stunned. This surprise came too quickly, and he could not react in time. ¡°Yes!¡± Craig jumped up excitedly and shouted in the room. 4 He had originally planned to give up. Kasage University had given him hope again! This was something he had never thought of. Chapter 5 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In a huge villa. A young man was crazily typing on the computer keyboard. 1 The computer kept flashing with green code. This young man¡¯s name was Morse. 10 At the same time, he had another identity, a hacker! 8 He was a very powerful hacker. On the computer, he could dominate the world! But when it came to the college entrance exam, he still couldn¡¯t get through it. 12 Today might be the last time he played on the computer. His parents had said that if he couldn¡¯t get into a university, they would never let him touch the computer again. 9 In the eyes of the elders, bad grades were related to playing on the computer. 1 If he couldn¡¯t get into a university, no matter how good he was at playing on the computer, he would be useless! He had no choice but to relax on the internet one last time. 1 At this moment, a pop-up window appeared. Morse looked impatient and wanted to close the pop-up window. But when he saw the word ¡°Enrollment¡±, he hesitated. In the end, he clicked on it. He had applied to dozens of universities at the same time, but none of them had accepted him. 1 He looked at this pop-up uninterestedly. When he clicked on it, he was stunned. ¡®Is this a university?¡¯ ¡®They teach magic?¡¯ ¡®There are people who teach magic in this world?¡¯ ¡®Is this a joke?¡¯ If one looked carefully, they would see that this school was accredited by the government. It was not a random university. In other words, one could get a diploma from the government if they graduated from here. This school was most likely founded by some Harry Potter fan. It also taught some strange things. But this was what Morse wanted the school to do. In university, he could play with the computer freely, and he could have complete freedom. This was the life he had always wanted. So, he decisively chose to apply. A minute later, the message of admission appeared. Morse was very excited. His troubles were all solved. He could play on the computer and go to university. He could also fulfill his parents¡¯ wishes. Therefore, he was looking forward to the start of university. It was not just the two of them, the same scene was happening all over the country. 3 Kasage¡¯s recruitment website was constantly sending out applications. Lex did not know about this either. He was eating lunch in the school¡¯s private restaurant. At this moment, a voice sounded in his ear. [ Congratulations to the host for achieving the goal of recruiting 100 students! The rewards are being distributed! ] 5 Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Lex was slightly stunned. This was the goal of recruiting students. When he activated the system, the system had already told him. 1 As long as he achieved the goal, he would receive the system¡¯s rewards. But what puzzled Lex was: how did he accomplish the goal of recruiting 100 students? Before lunch, not a single person applied? Could it be¡­ Suddenly, Lex thought of something. He threw away his lunch and walked to his office. 2 Soon, Lex returned to the computer. The screen on the computer was still in the background of the recruitment website. But something strange happened. The number of applications displayed in the background was still 0. There was no increase at all. Could it be that the system made a mistake? Lex thought in puzzlement. At this moment, he subconsciously wanted to refresh the page. The number on the screen changed. It was originally 0, but now it was 105. 2 There were really more than a hundred applications. When the system set up the recruitment website, it was set up as an admission. As long as someone applied, they would be directly admitted. There was no need for anyone to personally agree. Lex was a little excited. He did not expect more than a hundred people to apply. If he waited until the start of the school year, how many people would come? What kind of achievements would he get then? Thinking of the scene at the start of the school year, he began to look forward to it. Slowly, he began to calm down. At this moment, he remembered the achievement reward he had obtained. When he opened the system, Lex¡¯s face lit up. [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Magic Building! ] A Magic Building? When Lex heard this name, he felt a little curious. ¡°System, where is the Magic Building?¡± [ Replying to the host, the Magic Building is already in the campus.] The system answered mechanically. Lex walked to the window in confusion. Through the glass, he saw a purple building rise from the ground outside the window. Huge trees surrounded it, making it look like the residence of an elf. 2 This was the Magic Building that the system rewarded? Such a miraculous thing surprised Lex. There was no such building on the campus earlier, but a building of such size had risen out of thin air. ¡°System, will the rewards appear directly in the future? What if there are students there?¡± [ Host, this time, it is because the host is alone. The building will not appear when there are people. It will usually appear at night. You can also choose to build it in the way of construction teams.] 6 The system explained. After hearing the system¡¯s explanation, Lex was completely relieved. Then, Lex did not care about all this. He could not wait to see his own magic building. In a short while, Lex arrived at the entrance of the Magic Building. Before Lex opened the door, he saw a woman wearing a mage¡¯s outfit and a purple hat with a pointy top walk out. 1 ¡°Hello, Principal!¡± The woman in the Mage¡¯s outfit walked in front of Lex and said very politely. ¡°You are?¡± Lex asked curiously. Why was there such a beautiful woman in this building? ¡°My name is Monica, I manage the Magic Building.¡± 6 Monica¡¯s sweet voice sounded. ¡°System, what¡¯s going on?¡± Lex asked the system again. [ Please rest assured, this is the additional manager, a part of the system reward. It will not affect you in any way.] 1 The system explained to Lex. 2 Upon hearing that there was a bonus reward, Lex was very satisfied. 1 There were so many buildings. If Lex were to manage them all by himself, he would definitely be exhausted to death. 1 Now that he had someone to help him, Lex was naturally more than happy to accept. ¡°System, I want to ask again, does she have any abilities?¡± 4 Lex knew that the system would definitely not just reward a beautiful vase. Monica definitely had extraordinary abilities. Soon, a piece of information about Monica appeared in Lex¡¯s mind. A Magic master? A management master? A music master? He did not expect Monica¡¯s abilities to be so strong. The things that the system produced were indeed extraordinary! 8 Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation With Monica¡¯s help in managing the magic building, he did not have to worry about his workload at all. 2 ¡°Show me around the Magic Building.¡± ¡°Yes, Principal.¡± Then, Monica brought Lex around the magic building. The place was still ancient and full of magic. There was a herb garden, a magic laboratory, and a magic school. 4 Magic symbols were everywhere, and magic arrays were on the floor. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, giving off a dazzling glow. The aura of magic could be felt everywhere. 2 There was also a special venue and stage. After touring for more than an hour, Lex left in satisfaction. Now Kasage had another highlight that could attract the students. Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. 1 After a huge increase in the number of students, the number of people who were coming to him slowly stabilized. Now, there were hundreds of applications every day. These days, Lex also began to send acceptance letters to the students. Sending letters to hundreds of people was not an easy task. Although the acceptance letters were just a piece of paper, they were a guarantee for the students. It was also a way for them to give an explanation to their families. They did not have to be on tenterhooks every day and doubt whether the school was a fraud or not. One day, a letter was sent to Wilson¡¯s home. 2 Wilson curiously opened the letter and took out a piece of paper. This piece of paper was like a sheepskin scroll, very comfortable to the touch. 1 The first thing he saw on the paper was a line of large words: ¡°Kasage University Admission Notice!¡± Seeing these words, Wilson was very excited. He had really been admitted! A few days ago, he had also accidentally seen Kasage¡¯s admission website. The moment he clicked on it, he was attracted to this magic university. So he also chose to apply, but there was no news for a few days. He thought it was a lie. He did not expect that at this time, the acceptance letter really came. ¡°Mom! Dad! Come and see! I really got accepted!¡± Wilson sent his acceptance letter to his parents. His parents also looked at their child strangely. Could it be that he wanted to go to college so much that he went crazy? They also knew about their son¡¯s grades. It was impossible for him to go to any college. Wilson didn¡¯t like studying, but he liked to cook. 9 He was such a big man, but he liked to indulge in weird fantasy and magic novels just like other children. His parents were sad for a long time because of this. His parents thought that only by going to college would he be able to stand out. They were already prepared to let Wilson study for another year, but they didn¡¯t think that Wilson would actually be accepted by the university. And it wasn¡¯t just Wilson. Hundreds of student acceptance letters were already on their way across the country. The acceptance letters from Kasage University were sent to the social workers one after another. This made the students who applied feel at ease. At the same time, it also made Kasage University¡¯s reputation spread. In a basement. 1 The environment here was very dark. There was only a table lamp emitting a weak light. In the small basement, there were shelves everywhere. On the shelves were all kinds of ores and some books. Moreover, the names of the books were very strange. ¡°Making a magic circle¡±, ¡°Alchemy¡±, ¡°The second dimension¡±¡­ There was also a rusty machine in the corner. It had what looked like bottles and jars used in ancient alchemy. It was long and twisted, and a hazy mist was emitted from it. In front of the table lamp, a male student was excitedly looking at the admission letter in his hand. He was one of the students admitted by Kasage University. His name was Simpson. 12 He was a student, but he seldom went to school. But he was not a bad student, but a genius. When he was in his first year of high school, he taught himself the whole high school chemistry course. 7 He got full marks on every chemistry exam. He soon studied the whole school course, but lost all interest in it. He then turned to the mysterious field to study ancient magic and alchemy. Simpson¡¯s greatest wish was to study magic. He studied magic theories and found that the world was not what it seemed to be. Alchemy and magic existed, but mortals were confused by the illusory science and technology. 8 Real magic was controlled by a few people in power. They might have been immortal long ago, and they used the wealth accumulated over thousands of years to firmly control everything in the world. 7 Science was just the residue left behind by magic. 26 The truth of the world was hidden in the mysteries of magic. His biggest wish was to reach the ¡°Root of Magic¡±! 2 But the magic books and equipment he had were too few. Even if he studied for hundreds of years, he would not produce any results. But the books that were hiding the mysteries of magic were all hidden in the vaults of those in power. They were not willing to share the power of the extraordinary, but wanted to enslave all the ordinary people! 6 Just this basement alone had cost Simpson millions. If it were not for his family¡¯s money, he would not have been able to study magic. So, he wanted to enter the university and use the university¡¯s equipment to do his own research. But the universities with high-level equipment were all famous schools. With his grades, it was impossible for him to enter a famous school. 4 Even though he was much smarter than the others, ever since he became interested in magic, he rarely went to school. As a result, he dropped too many courses and his grades were naturally very poor. 4 Just as he was disappointed, Kasage University¡¯s admissions page appeared in front of him. When he saw this university, Simpson did not hesitate to apply! This was a magic academy! If this academy existed, it would be the place where he would realize his dream! 2 And today, he finally received an acceptance letter! Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Simpson read the acceptance letter in his hand a few times and carefully put it away. Then he took out his phone. ¡°I¡¯ve been accepted by a university, and it¡¯s a university that can help us realize our dreams!¡± After the phone was connected, Simpson couldn¡¯t wait to share the good news. The other party was also very surprised, because he also knew Simpson¡¯s results. Although the other party was some kind of genius, it was impossible for any university to admit him. Charles was Simpson¡¯s friend and also had a great interest in magic. For building the basement, he had a share of the credit. And Charles¡¯s grades were worse, with no hope of getting into a college. In order not to let his family down, he had decided to give up his research and re-study for a year. Now that Simpson had been accepted, how could he not be surprised. Before Charles could react, Simpson continued: ¡°I have already sent you the link to the admissions website for the Magic Academy. Hurry up and apply! Don¡¯t forget to inform the other two brothers!¡± Simpson said excitedly. To be able to go to school together, it was naturally impossible for him to forget his brothers. They were studying the theory of magic together. They were a team. 2 At this moment, he had already begun to imagine the scene of his dream being fulfilled in university. Kasage University was the stage for them to realize their dreams! After the call ended, Charles turned on his computer and looked at the web address that Simpson had sent. He saw on the computer that the magical campus was like a dream. Such a luxurious campus was full of magic and professional equipment. So he decisively clicked on the application. Ten seconds later, the admission notice appeared. Charles was very touched. He was really admitted. Then, he also felt that he should inform the other two partners. They also half-believed and chose to apply. And then they received the admission notice. Not only them, the same thing was happening all over the country. The students saw Kasage¡¯s admissions website. Those magic buildings made them yearn for it. So Kasage University once again attracted a large number of applications from students. ¡­ Lex was in his office, looking at the admissions website. The government gave the students 15 days to enroll. After that time, all the admissions websites would be closed. Ten days had passed, and Kasage University had only recruited about 800 students. Kasage only had about 1,000 first-year students in total. Lex was a little disappointed with this number. In the government documents, the highest number of students could be 3,000. 2 He had only used one-third of the quota. 2 But there was nothing he could do. After all, this was only the first year of recruitment. The requirements could not be too high. At this moment, Lex refreshed the website again. Then, he was stunned. The data in the background changed, directly increasing by 100. Could it be a network failure? Lex was very puzzled. Then, it refreshed again. The data changed again, increasing by 80. Now, the number of people who had applied to admit defeat had reached 980. It would soon exceed 1000. At this moment, the voice of the system rang in Lex¡¯s ears again. [ Congratulations to the host for the achievement of recruiting 1,000 students. The Alchemy Building has been awarded! ] The achievement of recruiting 1,000 students? Was the data real? Lex widened his eyes. The number of applicants for Kasage University had increased explosively once again. With excitement, he refreshed the page again. Number of applicants: 1,579 And the number of applicants was constantly increasing. The rate of increase was very fast. At this rate, by the end of the enrollment, there would definitely be 3,000 applicants. But Lex also knew that this was impossible. Because it would still be like last time, slowly stopping. However, he was already very satisfied with the results so far After confirming this matter, Lex began to look at the reward. That Magic Building had already given him a huge surprise. What kind of surprise would this alchemy building have? ¡°System? Won¡¯t the reward appear suddenly again this time?¡± Lex asked the system. The Magic Building that appeared the last time made Lex worried. 2 [ Reporting to the host, the construction team is on their way. Please wait patiently.] After hearing the system¡¯s explanation, Lex finally felt relieved. At this moment, the phone on his desk rang. Lex picked up the phone curiously. A rough voice came from the other end. ¡°Hello, we are from the construction team!¡± Construction team? They arrived so quickly? It had to be said that the system was very efficient. ¡°So you are here to build the Alchemy Building?¡± Lex asked over the phone. ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Lex. Please open the school gate.¡± The rough voice appeared again. Then, Lex put down the phone and came to the school gate. 2 Through the gate, he saw that there were many cars outside, and they were all professional construction vehicles. The cars were equipped with all kinds of advanced equipment and construction materials. In front of the convoy stood a rough-looking middle-aged man. Lex opened the school gate and walked out. When he saw someone arrive, the middle-aged man walked over. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lex. I Am Eddy, the leader of the construction team.¡± Eddy introduced himself very politely. Such a polite attitude did not match his looks at all. 1 ¡°Hello!¡± Lex did not introduce himself. Since the construction team was summoned by the system, they naturally knew his identity. ¡°Mr. Lex, when do you think we can start the construction?¡± Eddie asked for Lex¡¯s opinion. Although they were summoned by the system, they still had to ask. ¡°Do you have a construction plan?¡± Lex asked curiously. ¡°Yes, the construction site and construction drawings have been prepared.¡± Eddie waved behind him and a young man ran over. The young man handed the blueprint and design book to Lex. Lex took it and glanced at it. It did not seem to be a big problem. After all, he did not understand it very well. 2 Since it was a system reward, there would definitely not be a problem. 2 Chapter 8 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The construction team entered the campus. As expected of the construction team summoned by the system, it was very efficient. It only took half an hour to start construction. All kinds of mechanical equipment and materials were constantly transported to the construction site. Moreover, they were all using high-tech silent equipment. From a hundred meters away, no sound could be heard. Lex only looked at it for a while. He did not know anything about architecture. The appearance of the architecture was similar to what he had thought, so he left immediately. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, many more students applied for admission. The number of applicants had now reached more than 1,900. After that explosion, it had gradually stabilized. Because it was near the end of the enrollment period, the number of students applying had decreased a lot. Only a few dozen students could be added every day. By the time the enrollment period was over, Kasage should be able to enroll 2,000 students. Compared to those famous schools, the difference was too big. As long as there were some famous schools, the enrollment would not be less than 5,000 students. There were also a few famous schools that enrolled more than 10,000 students. 14 Even so, there were still many people who failed the enrollment. To be able to enroll 2,000 students was already meeting Lex¡¯s expectations. As long as the reputation of the first year of the school was known, there would definitely be a lot of students in the future. After closing the enrollment website, Lex walked out of his office. However, as soon as he walked out, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. Because what he saw was a big red cloth. That red cloth wrapped around a building that was dozens of meters tall. And the members of the construction team were all gone. What was going on? This made Lex very confused. Could it be that the members of the construction team were resting today? Out of curiosity, Lex walked towards the construction site. However, as he walked, the road was clean. There was no sign of construction. This made Lex feel very strange. Soon, he reached the building below. Although the building was covered with red cloth, the outline could still be seen. Was this the new building? The surroundings of the building had been painted with silver-white paint. The windows were not potholed, and they had brand new glass windows. From the outside, Lex could not see the interior of the building clearly. He did not know what was going on inside. At this moment, he had already walked to the door. Looking at the oak door that was filled with magic, Lex was even more excited about what was inside. At this moment, the magic door suddenly opened. An old man wearing a white robe walked out. He had a long beard on his chin and held a magic staff in his hand. 4 ¡°Hello, Mr. Principal. I am Owen, the manager of this Alchemy Building.¡± 1 Owen respectfully came in front of Lex. 1 As there were also managers in the Magic Building, they were surprised by Owen¡¯s appearance. 2 Lex did not appear too surprised. Instead, he asked, ¡°Where did the construction team go?¡± 2 He looked around and did not see anyone. There was not even a single person renovating the building, so he could only ask Owen. ¡°Principal, the alchemy building has been completed. The interior decoration has been completed, and the equipment has all been adjusted.¡± Owen explained the situation of the entire building to Lex. Was it already completed so quickly? Was the decoration good? Wasn¡¯t that a little too fast?! In three days, an eighteen-story building could be built. 10 Even if ten construction teams were to work together, it wouldn¡¯t be so efficient. More importantly, the alchemy equipment and all kinds of magical items were also available. In three days, they had prepared everything. Such a construction team could only be summoned by the system. However, thinking about it, it was only natural. The system could even conjure a magical building out of thin air. Now, it had been completed in three days. There was nothing unacceptable. 1 ¡°Since this place has been completed, then what is the red cloth outside?¡± Lex thought of the red cloth she saw outside. 1 ¡°The construction of the new building is completed. It requires the principal¡¯s personal program.¡± Owen brought Lex to the front of the red rope. Then he placed the rope in his hand. Lex pulled hard, and the red cloth outside the building fell slowly. The entire building appeared in his eyes. ¡°Alchemy Building.¡± The words reflected silver light in the air dozens of meters away. The building was not vertical, but it was curved. It was like a long snake. It was surrounded by alloy frames and special glass. It looked like the scales of a snake. 3 There was no other building like this on Earth. 1 This was probably a magic creation. The feeling of magic and the mysterious aura were like ancient relics left behind by gods. One look and one could not take their eyes off it. If it was already like this on the outside, what would the interior look like? Lex was already looking forward to the interior of the alchemy building. 1 What kind of surprise would it bring to him? Following that, Owen brought Lex into the alchemy building and began to show him around. Owen did not bring Lex to look at each floor. Instead, he took the elevator to the top floor. ¡°Principal, this is your private office in the Alchemy Building.¡± 4 The two of them stopped in front of a large door. There was a statue of a cat on the door. The cat¡¯s eye shone with a red light and scanned Lex. Then, they heard the cat talking. [ Verified! ] Ka! The magic door slowly separated from the middle. Soon, the entire office appeared in front of Lex¡¯s eyes. The principal¡¯s office was a great place. The air was filled with a faint scent of wood. At a glance, it looked like old wood with a lustrous luster. The two-story high ceiling was filled with books. The winding wooden stairs separated the entire space into small sections like a huge birdcage. There was no modern technology here. There wasn¡¯t even a computer. There was a magic ball on the table that projected a light screen. The light screen was like a computer screen. ¡°Principal, you can see the entire building from here.¡± 2 Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Owen tapped a few times on the screen and saw the projected model of the alchemy building appear in front of him. After last night¡¯s events, Owen stood next to it. Lex looked at the three models of the Alchemy Building and gently tapped on the first floor with his hand. The image of the first floor began to zoom in. Soon, he saw the entire first floor. The equipment and the decoration style were all clearly visible. It was like a god¡¯s view. 1 The first floor was filled with alchemy supplies. It was very profound. Lex was not interested in these. 1 Then, he looked up layer by layer. He found that each floor had different alchemy equipment. It was almost unimaginable. Things from reality or rituals that existed in ancient legends all appeared in this building. If word of this got out, the scholars who studied it would probably go crazy. This was simply a Mage¡¯s paradise. After looking at the entire building, Lex had a better understanding of the Alchemy Building. With such a building, it could definitely become the foundation of Kasage University. At this moment, Lex realized that not only could he see the magic building, but the entire campus was within his field of vision. It was much more convenient than the office in the Teaching Building. He had decided to move his office here. Soon, two days passed. The recruitment time for the universities was over. All the recruitment websites were closed. At this moment, Lex began to count the number of students enrolled. He now discovered that the magic crystal projection in the office could not only be used as a computer. The Magic Ball actually had intelligence. For example, to count the number of people now, one only needed to say ¡®household¡¯. 3 This magic ball was called Lingling. ¡°Lingling, help me count the number of people accepted this time.¡± 9 ¡°Yes, Principal.¡± Lingling answered in a girl¡¯s voice. Then, traces of water appeared on the light screen. Ten seconds later, the traces disappeared, and a document appeared on the light screen. 2 This was one of the materials that Lingling had calculated. All the information of the students who had been admitted was already in there. ¡°Principal, the statistics have been completed.¡± ¡°There are a total of 2,051 students enrolled this time. The male-female ratio is 1:1.¡± 22 Lingling introduced the results of the statistics to Lex. After listening to it, Lex had some understanding in his heart. Two thousand people, just as he had expected. The enrollment had been completed. Next was to wait for the start of school. Lex had been on campus for half a month. 3 He had not returned home for half a month. Strictly speaking, it was not his home, but his rented house. 1 Now that the matter was over, he decided to go back for the last time. After this, he wouldn¡¯t return to the apartment and live in the university. 1 Then, he called Owen and Monica over. He told them to take care of the whole school. Lex knew nothing would happen, but he still had to be careful. Before he left, Owen gave him a transparent screen and simulated it as a phone function. He could also communicate with the spirits. If anything happened, he could inform them immediately. Lex accepted it without hesitation. With this, it was even better than the most advanced phone in the world. 3 He walked out of Kasage University and came to the bus stop. 2 Then he waited for the bus to arrive. Although he was now worth more than ten billion dollars, that was just the university. The real cash he had on him now was only a few hundred yuan. When he was at Kasage, he didn¡¯t need to spend money. His meals were all provided automatically. When he went out, he found out that he still didn¡¯t have money. If it was before, he would start to worry about his life again. But now it was different. He had a bigger goal. Two hours later, Lex got off the bus and walked towards his rented apartment. He had just reached the door and had not opened it. A voice came from behind him. ¡°Lex, I haven¡¯t seen you for half a month. Did you go somewhere to work?¡± Lex turned around and saw a familiar face. It was his neighbor¡¯s child, Pedro. 2 They were of the same age and were both seniors. However, Peder¡¯s grades were very good. In the past few years, he had always been very proud in front of Lex. 2 This time, he was admitted to a key university in the city. He wanted to show off in front of Lex. He already knew that Lex did not get into a university. However, he did not see Lex until half a month later. Therefore, when Lex appeared, he ran out immediately. Lex was very clear about Pedro¡¯s thoughts. It was nothing more than a child¡¯s competitive mentality. 8 This was not the first time. He did not want to pay attention to such a person. 1 In his eyes, Pedro was just a clown. 3 Therefore, Lex opened the door and walked into his rented room. There was no need to waste words. Peder gave Lex a disdainful look and left. From now on, he was just a university student. He and Pedro were not from the same world. This episode was also directly thrown to the back of Lex¡¯s mind. What Pedro thought was not important to the current Lex. He did not have time to argue with Pedro. He quickly packed up the things in his room. There was not much, so he packed it quickly, put it all in his backpack, and carried it on his back. 1 Just like that, Lex left the house that he had lived in for three years in high school. 2 This was an end and a new beginning. He took the first step toward the end of high school, leaving the house that represented his high school memories and moving into the big wide world. Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The first of September was the start of the semester for all the colleges. The gates of Kasage University began to open to new students one after another. Lex sat in his office and used his crystal ball to check the situation outside the school gates. The new students had just started their semester. As the principal, Lex was extremely excited. Strangely, by noon, Lex did not see anyone entering the campus. What was going on? Were the students who were admitted not coming? After being admitted, there were many people who did not want to go to university. There must be some people who were just playing around. Lex was mentally prepared in this regard. But there were more than two thousand students in total. It was impossible for no one to come. At this moment, a rather luxurious car appeared at the school gate. The car was parked in the parking lot at the school gate. This was also a rule set by Lex. Foreign cars were not allowed to enter the campus. This was a magic academy. What would it look like if modern cars were allowed in? 1 On the first day of school, there would definitely be many cars. He did this in order to maintain the image and mystery of the Magic Academy. A Magic Academy with cars everywhere, wasn¡¯t that too strange? At this time, three people got out of the car. A middle-aged couple and a young man. This was Morse¡¯s family. Morse looked at the gate that was full of magic. He was very excited. The shock of seeing it with his own eyes was completely different from looking at pictures. This magical campus that was like a dream really existed. On the way here, he was still a little worried that he might be deceived? 1 Now he could finally relax. This was a genuine university. He was not the only one who was excited. His parents were also excited. When Morse placed the admission notice in front of them, they still did not believe it. They did not believe that their son could get into a university. Even if he was admitted, the school would definitely be very bad. But now, the parents had finally let go of the burden in their hearts. From the school gate, it could be seen that this school was different from the others. The three of them walked to the school gate, and Monica came out to welcome them. She was also in charge of welcoming new students. ¡°Hello, Welcome to Kasage University.¡± Monica said to the Morse family. ¡°You¡­ Hello, teacher. I¡¯m a new student.¡± Morse said excitedly. From the moment he entered the school gate, he could not suppress his excitement. ¡°As long as you put it on that stone sculpture and pass the verification, you can go in.¡± 4 Monica pointed at the owl statue over there and said. 3 Morse placed his hand on it in confusion. 2 [ Student Morse, the verification was successful! ] The owl made a sound. The door slowly opened for him. ¡°Alright, you guys can go in.¡± Monica gave Morse a map of the school. It was so magical! 1 Morse was very shocked. Before he came, he had thought of many possibilities, but he did not expect that this school was actually a real magic school! There was magic everywhere. This was not some kind of technological trick. Putting one¡¯s hand on an owl would actually open the door automatically? 18 It was too magical! 1 The Morse family followed the map and walked towards the student dormitory. Along the way, they looked at this magic school with incomparable shock. They could be considered to have experienced what luxury was! Extreme Luxury! Morse¡¯s family was also a family that had assets and had seen the world. But when they came here, they felt that they knew very little about their own world. Especially the two buildings on the campus, which made them even more amazed. This was not a fake facility like the amusement park. This was real magic! 2 Soon, they arrived at the students¡¯ dormitory. Morse¡¯s parents looked around curiously. Although they had seen many things that surprised them along the way, they also discovered something that was even more puzzling. There was actually not a single teacher in this academy! 1 It was the start of the new semester. It was normal to not see many students, but there should be some teachers. If it was really impossible, they would not be so suspicious if they could see one or two janitors. 2 However, they did not see anyone along the way. Could the entire academy be filled with magic? Was this fake? Would it disappear the moment they woke up tomorrow? 1 The three of them held their luggage and stood at the entrance of the dormitory building. There was no one guarding the door, and the main door was closed. How were they going to get in? Morse saw a cat-shaped sculpture in front of the door. It was probably the same as the one at the door. He placed his hand on the cat¡¯s head. Instantly, the cat spoke. [ Morse, room number four on the third floor! ] Then the door of the dormitory building opened. He was a hacker. He felt that even if modern technology was hidden under these sculptures, it was impossible to achieve such intelligence. 6 Without a doubt, this was magic that displayed miracles! Someone who could recreate magic in the world! He was looking forward to living in this academy more and more. The dormitory building opened and the Morse family walked up the stairs. These stairs would automatically rise, just like an elevator. 5 After verifying at the entrance, seeing such a luxurious dormitory, Morse¡¯s parents were very envious. Such a dormitory building was even better than their family¡¯s villa. On the other side. In the principal¡¯s office, Lex smiled when he saw the first student arrive. 2 At this moment, there was the sound of a siren outside the school gate. 1 Then, numerous figures appeared. Cars were parked in the parking lot. At this moment, Lex was excited. He knew that the first step of building the school was about to be completed. However, looking at those people with suitcases, it seemed very strange. Some students were holding guitars, and some students were dressed very strangely. There was even one student who was carrying a full set of kitchen tools. 1 What made him even more puzzled was that there were four students carrying rocks. 5 And they did not feel tired at all. Instead, their faces were filled with excitement. Were these really students? Lex did not expect such a scene. Where did these students come from? 3 Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Out of two thousand people, Lex did not see a single normal student. 3 There was a student who was carrying a school bag. He walked with a straight back and a cold expression on his face. Lex read some of his information. This time, he was completely speechless. This student was actually a retired special forces soldier? 6 However, although all sorts of students looked strange, Lex could see from everyone¡¯s eyes a desire to open up the magic world. Entering the campus was also the happiest thing for them. Looking at everything on the campus, it felt like their dreams had come true. This kind of sincere gaze also made Lex feel very touched. At the same time, it made Lex even more determined about his initial thoughts. Kasage University was the stage for everyone to realize their dreams. 1 Even if their grades were poor, even if they were abandoned by all the other schools. 1 Here, they could all realize their dreams. The students reported in succession to enter the school. At the school gate, there were four channels for reporting. Each student only needed five seconds to report and enter the school. But even so, there was still a long line at the school gate. Lex calculated that it was originally two days of reporting time. Now it seemed that it did not need that long. One day was enough. When the students walked into Kasage University, they were like little birds that had come out of their cages. All of them were extremely excited. They were especially excited when they saw the dream-like scene of the Magic Academy that was built in the real world. All of the students were very happy. Craig carried a guitar on his back. He had been shocked the moment he entered the campus. He decided to take a look first and walked towards the magic building. Lex did not close the building on the campus. It was just that the equipment inside had not been opened yet and could only be used as a restaurant. After confirming his identity at the door, Craig entered the magic building. In the magic building, he felt as if he was in an ocean of magic. The magic seemed to surround him, forming different notes. When he played the guitar, the notes would jump along with the guitar. On the first floor, he stopped in front of the door of a conference hall. It was a club that could accommodate a thousand people, and he was very tempted. If music was added with magic, what a magnificent effect it would be! He couldn¡¯t help but want to rush to the stage to play! He looked forward to the day when he could perform on the stage and face a thousand cheers. After stopping for a while on the first floor, he began to take in the entire Magic Building. He saw the magic instruments in the Magic Building ¨C the piano played automatically, the baton waved, and the perfect music was created. 1 He was shocked beyond words. As a music lover, he naturally studied musical instruments. In the Magic Building, he could see everything, and everything could be enchanted. At this moment, he already knew that his choice was not wrong. This was the sacred place in his mind. On the other side. The Alchemy Building. A strange thing was happening here. Four boys carried stones on their backs and excitedly visited the various buildings. These were Simpson and his friends. After they arrived at the campus, the first thing they saw was the alchemy building that was full of alchemy equipment. Therefore, they didn¡¯t even go to the dormitory and directly carried the rocks here. After entering the alchemy building, they realized how rubbish their original basement was. This was the real place to study alchemy. ¡°Look!¡± Charles leaned on the glass door and looked at the things inside. At the same time, he did not forget to shout at Simpson. Hearing the shout, the three of them ran over. All three of them were stunned. They saw what they had always wanted. The Philosopher¡¯s Stone! It was a promise made by the blood-red stone to give joy to suffering, victory to battle, and rebirth to the dead. People called it the philosopher¡¯s stone with respect. The Philosopher¡¯s Stone was the legendary alchemy amplification device. It was said to contain the power of immortality. In fact, it was a highly condensed body of the soul. To cultivate the philosopher¡¯s stone, one needed the principle of equivalent exchange. It required many living people to cultivate it. 2 If the philosopher¡¯s stone was put into the body and could withstand the backlash of countless souls, one could use the Philosopher¡¯s Stone¡¯s power to achieve eternal life. The Holy Grail of alchemists for a long time was either used to make or create elixirs of immortality. Therefore, the titles for it were Philosopher¡¯s Stone, stone from heaven, Sorcerer¡¯s stone, the raw material of gold and silver, red medicine liquid, fifth element, and so on. Because of the alchemists¡¯ unremitting pursuit of this material, it was also given the title of Great Miracle, great creation, and so on. Sometimes, these titles were also used to refer to the makers of the Philosopher¡¯s Stone, to symbolize that they were at the pinnacle of alchemy. Heaven, this was definitely heaven. All four of them exclaimed at the same time. Lex looked at these strange students in his office. He knew that these students were strange because they all had their own dreams. Lex admired students who were able to persevere in their dreams. 2 On the first day of school, the students reported and familiarized themselves with the campus environment. Lex did not discipline the students. He allowed them to visit freely. By the afternoon, the parents had already left one after another. After sending off their children, they were relieved to see that their kids had really gone to university. As soon as the parents left, the students began to move around freely. There was a lot more communication between them. However, they were all communicating about one thing. Was this a university? Where were the teachers? None of the students had seen their teachers since they entered the university. They had not seen their teachers since. In the dormitory building, many students were waiting for the notice. On the first day of school, the teachers would call everyone over. This was the management of the university opening. In order to be able to see their teachers, the students did not run around. Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Boys¡¯ dormitory, Room 6, 5th floor. Wilson returned to the dormitory with a meal from the cafeteria. He loved cooking very much. He had just eaten dinner in the cafeteria and was immediately attracted by the delicious food. But what he didn¡¯t expect was that the food was actually made by magic. In the canteen, there was no chef, it was all magic. Food kept coming out of the Holy Grail. 1 And the food was very delicious, which shocked the food-loving Wilson. Magic could actually make such delicious food. So he ordered another serving, but this one was not for eating. It was for research. He wanted to know, ¡®how was the food made with magic?¡¯ He began to study the dinner. Wilson had a talent for being very sensitive to taste. After he tasted a dish, he could analyze the ingredients used in the food. Then through continuous experiments, the food was restored. It was precisely because of this talent that he fell in love with cooking. When Wilson entered the dormitory, there was another person in the dormitory. ¡°Freeman, aren¡¯t you going to have dinner?¡± 2 Wilson looked curiously at Freeman¡¯s hand movements. He was actually building blocks? Freeman ignored Wilson. There was a lot of openness around him. What he was doing was building the blocks. It was like Lego blocks for kids. At the moment, Freeman was building a building. Now the building had taken shape. It wasn¡¯t finished yet, but Wilson could see it. The building was the teaching building on campus. Freeman was building the teaching building. Weblun was very surprised. He and Freeman arrived at the dormitory at the same time. 2 Freeman entered the dormitory and never went out again. He did not observe the teaching building for a long time. He only took a few glances and remembered such a complicated teaching building. At this time, Freeman¡¯s hand movements also stopped. ¡°Wilson, did you see the teacher?¡± Freeman asked Wiblon. 3 ¡°No, I looked around, but I couldn¡¯t even find the teacher¡¯s office.¡± Wiblon said helplessly. It was really strange that there was no teacher in the school. On the second day of school. Almost all the students who had reported had arrived. The entire campus had gradually become lively, unlike the cold and cheerless atmosphere in the past. In the principal¡¯s office. ¡°Lingling, tally up the students who haven¡¯t reported yet.¡± Lex instructed Lingling. ¡°Alright.¡± After answering, Lingling began to tally up. Soon, the results were out. ¡°Principal, all the students have reported, without exception.¡± 1 Lingling told her the results. When Lex heard it, he was exceptionally pleased. The enthusiasm of the students was something that other schools could not achieve. 1 This was also related to the recruitment of students. This was because most of the students Kasage recruited were students who had no hope of going to university. 1 Now that they were given a chance, they naturally had to seize it. ¡°Lingling, send out a notice. At five o¡¯clock this afternoon, all the students will gather in the conference room on the first floor of the teaching building.¡± Since the students had already arrived, it was time to arrange the first meeting. ¡°Yes, Principal!¡± As soon as the voice fell, the notice was already sent out. Dormitory building, teaching building, gymnasium. 2 As long as there was a building, a voice would ring out at the same time. [ Notice, today¡¯s meeting is at five o¡¯clock. All students will gather in the conference room on the first floor of the teaching building. ] 4 All the students stopped what they were doing and listened attentively. The notice was repeated three times and every student heard it. ¡°5 pm? Where is the conference room?¡± ¡°The notice is finally out. Will all the teachers appear?¡± ¡°This is definitely the first time that we will not be able to see the teacher in the heavy snow.¡± 1 ¡°It must be a surprise from the academy. We will be able to see it today.¡± Kasage University was definitely the first place where students hadn¡¯t met their teachers. When they arrived at the university, what the students hoped for was freedom. It would be best if the teachers did not care about anything. However, Kasage University did not have a single teacher, which made the students feel a little flustered. If no one had lied, perhaps the students would have left on their own. 1 Now that the notice had been given, the students were clear in their hearts. After feeling comforted, the students were happy again. The dormitory brought their own daily necessities, and the students did not need to prepare them themselves. This saved the students a lot of time. It also reduced the burden on the students. 4:30 pm. The students on campus slowly gathered in the teaching building. In the teaching building, there was a very large conference room. This conference room occupied the first floor and had a total of 5,000 seats. If one were to talk about standing, it could accommodate 7,000 to 8,000 people. Although it was only 4:30 now, the students had almost all arrived. They also wanted to see the teachers in the school earlier. More importantly, they wanted to see the principal of the school. The principal must not be an ordinary person to be able to run such a school. 2 The front half of the seats for five thousand people were already full. No one wanted to sit at the back. This was a huge contrast to their high school days. Soon, the five o¡¯clock bell rang. At this time, Monica walked to the podium in the conference room. ¡°Everyone, be quiet. Our principal will be here soon.¡± Monica¡¯s gentle voice reached the ears of all the students. She was like a music master, her voice was very pleasing to the ear. 1 Hearing Monica¡¯s words, all the students quieted down. All the students had already met Monica. She was also the only teacher that they had been able to see until now. There were only three people in Kasage University, not counting the students. Owen had been doing his own research in the Alchemy Building and did not show up at all. The principal had not left the building either. 2 The students had only seen Monica once when they were reporting. Now, they could finally see the principal that they had been looking forward to for a long time. At this moment, a young man and a middle-aged man walked in. They were Lex and Owen. ¡°Greet the principal, everyone.¡± 2 Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Everyone below the stage looked at Lex. In the eyes of the students, anyone who could become the principal already in their fifties or sixties. And Lex looked to be around their age. ¡°Hello, everyone. I am the principal of Kasage University, Lex.¡± He looked at the two thousand students below and slowly said his first sentence. A month ago, he was still the same as these students. Now, he had become the principal and was the center of attention. However, his originally excited mood slowly calmed down. To be able to stand in the position of principal meant that he had an additional responsibility. The future of the two thousand students was already placed on him. As soon as Lex finished speaking, the entire conference room became noisy again. ¡°Is this our president? How can he be so young?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I feel that he¡¯s about the same age as us. He can become a president just like that?¡± ¡°He¡¯s so young and he can become the president of this school. He must be very rich, right?¡± 1 ¡°I have to say, the president is quite handsome.¡± ¡°Hello, President!¡± All the students were shocked by Lex¡¯s age. He was twenty years old and was about to enter university. However, the person in front of them had become their president, causing everyone to be momentarily stunned. ¡°Everyone, be quiet!¡± Lex stopped all the students from discussing. The students gradually quieted down. ¡°First of all, welcome to Kasage University.¡± ¡°After these two days, I believe that all of you have a certain understanding of Kasage University.¡± ¡°I guarantee that every word you see on the recruitment website is true!¡± ¡°I also know that everyone has come here with dreams.¡± ¡°Then Kasage University will be the stage for you to realize your dreams!¡± Lex did not say some useless nonsense like other schools, because there was no need for that. As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience. Although it was only a few words, it had already entered the hearts of all the students. They had come here with no hope, but now Kasage University had given them hope again. At this time, they no longer cared about Lex¡¯s age, but treated him as someone who understood them. 1 Even their parents did not understand, the school did not understand, and the society did not understand. But it did not matter. They had been repressed for too long. Now, it was time for them to explode. Lex looked at the excited students below the stage, and a smile appeared on his face. This was the kind of passion that he wanted to achieve his dreams. As long as they had passion, they would have the possibility to achieve their dreams. After two minutes, the students gradually calmed down. The way they looked at Lex now was filled with respect. It was not only because Lex was the principal, but also because Lex had led them on the path to realizing their dreams. Kasage University was also destined to be a turning point for them. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t say anything else. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.¡± Lex did not have so many things to say. 1 No one could decide a person¡¯s future. Everyone¡¯s future depended on their own efforts. At this moment, a student raised his hand. ¡°Principal! May I know when our teacher will appear?¡± A girl stood up and asked. The principal had already appeared, but there was no sign of the teachers yet. There were two thousand students. It was impossible for only two teachers to teach, right? Even including the principal, there were only three people in total. It was not just the girl. All the students had the same thoughts, but they did not dare to ask. ¡°This is also what I want to say. In Kasage University, there are no teachers!¡± Lex said lightly. When he said that there were no teachers, all the students were stunned. No teachers? There were actually no teachers in the university? Moreover, this was a magic academy. Without teachers, who would teach them magic? Looking at the puzzled gazes of the students, Lex continued to answer: ¡°Kasage University is a free university. There are no so-called university courses here. Similarly, we do not have teachers.¡± ¡°Because you are your own teachers.¡± The words just now were enough to shock the students, and this sentence stunned them once again. Students become teachers themselves? Was this really not a joke? This was the first time the students had heard such words. Moreover, they did not have the confidence to become teachers. Most of the people who were accepted by Kasage University were people who did not pass their high school exams and did not have the chance to go to university. Not to mention teaching magic, even if they were asked to teach ordinary things, they could not become teachers. ¡°I know that your grades in other schools are not good, but this is not an ordinary school. This is a Magic Academy!¡± ¡°Not only do we not have teachers, but our learning is completely free. We learn from each other!¡± 3 ¡°I will set up a wish board so that you can write down the major that you want to learn. The school will follow that wish and teach whatever you want to learn!¡± 5 Lex voiced out his vision for the school. This time, the students were not shocked, but completely surprised. They were the ones who did not want to follow the school¡¯s curriculum originally. If that was the case, where would they have time to do their own things? Now they could set up a major based on what they liked. They could learn whatever they wanted to learn. That was a great thing. To be able to do what one liked and complete one¡¯s studies at the same time was definitely something worth celebrating and feeling happy about. Just as the students were feeling happy, a male student who was sitting in the corner stood up. ¡°Principal! I like cooking. Can you set up a magic cooking major?¡± This student was Wilson. He was only asking as a test. Lex looked at Wilson and immediately recognized him. He was the person who had brought all his cooking equipment to school. To be able to do this, it was enough to prove his love for cooking. ¡°Sure!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Thank you, Principal!¡± Wilson said excitedly! With Wilson as an example, the other students were also excited. ¡°Principal, can magic be combined with music?¡± ¡°Principal, can magic be used on computers?¡± 3 ¡°Principal, I want to use magic to run!¡± Lex looked at the enthusiastic students and felt very gratified. ¡°As long as you write your wish on the Wish Board, it will definitely come true.¡± With so many people, Lex had no way to respond to them one by one. If it was written on the wish board, everyone would be able to read it. Upon hearing this, everyone quieted down. They had already begun to look forward to leaving their marks on the wish board. It didn¡¯t take long for the first lesson of the 2,000 students to be over. 1 After the meeting, all the students left the conference room one after another. It was getting late today, so Lex told all the students to go back and rest. The wish board would be in front of the teaching building from tomorrow onwards. Lex returned to his office, handed the board to Owen, and told him to finish it today. Owen didn¡¯t refuse and went straight to do it. The next morning. Lex got up very early in the morning and looked at the time. It was only six o¡¯clock. He then turned on all the surveillance cameras on the entire campus. 1 By this time, many students had already gotten up. There were many students who liked to run in the morning. He looked at the teaching building with a hint of surprise on his face. That was because he saw that there were already excited students waiting for the results. They were not here for anything else, but for the wish board. There were more than two thousand people in the school, and each of them had their own favorite hobby and goals. The reason why they had come so early was because they were afraid that they would not be able to write down their major. Lex saw that the students who had said yesterday that they liked cooking were also waiting there. By the time they reached the starting point, there were already more than a hundred people gathered at the entrance of the teaching building. Therefore, Lex sent a message to Owen, asking him to release the Wish Board. After receiving the message from Lex, Owen immediately began to take action. Soon, a huge wish board was moved out. Then it stood in front of the teaching building. Just as the Wish Board was put down, the students swarmed up. 1 They all wanted to write down their wishes first. The students wrote down their favorite things one by one. More than one hundred students wrote down more than twenty wishes in total. Because many people¡¯s wishes were the same. Although there were many hobbies, it was still normal. The most exaggerated thing was the combination of science and magic, Hacker Magic. 1 This was really a whimsical idea. Were science and magic related? 13 Soon, a day passed, and students continued to write down their wishes on their wish boards. After a day, they finally decided on more than 60 majors. The next day. Lex asked Owen to announce all the majors he had decided on. 5 In the teaching building, there was a huge screen. On the screen were all the majors that the students wanted to study. At this time, there were already many students gathered here, just to see if there was any major that they wanted to study. ¡°Haha, my major is here!¡± ¡°Is it really going to create a major according to our ideas?¡± ¡°I like this school!¡± 1 After seeing the major that they had written on the screen, the students were all unusually excited. They didn¡¯t have to be tied down by their teachers, nor did they have to take those boring courses. Wasn¡¯t this the ideal university for everyone? Lex looked at the excited students in the president¡¯s office. This was the result he wanted. They were forced to study, and they didn¡¯t want to study at all. Most universities were like this. They couldn¡¯t learn anything at all. They could not even use the major they wanted to study. Most people did not know what they had done in the past four years. 2 If Lex had not spent the past four years in a daze¡­ He would have continued to study his own subjects. Only this magic university would be able to reach the apex. Even a chef should be at the top. Lex could tell that all the students were very talented people. As long as they were given a platform, they would definitely be able to soar to the sky. Now that the professional matters had been settled, he had another matter to attend to. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Lex immediately let someone in. Monica pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Principal, are you looking for me?¡± Monica stood respectfully in front of Lex. ¡°Today is the first year of Kasage University¡¯s construction. I am planning to hold a school opening ceremony and let all the students celebrate for three days.¡± 2 Lex revealed the reason why Monica was here. The only person who could accomplish this task was Monica. Owen was very accomplished in alchemy, but not in management. Monica was the best. She had an affinity. Hence, Lex wanted to hand this matter over to Monica. 1 ¡°Principal, leave this matter to me. I will definitely be able to handle it.¡± Monica already knew the purpose of Lex calling her over, so she immediately agreed. ¡°Alright, I will leave this matter to you.¡± After that, Monica left. He went to the magic building and pulled up the information of all the students. Then he began to choose. Because the opening ceremony was the first major event of Kasage University, and it was also a very troublesome matter. But she alone would definitely not be able to complete it in a short period of time. The most efficient way was to get the students to do it together. Lex had already given Owen and Monica access. They could see all the students¡¯ data. Now was the time to use it. Hence, Monica chose from two thousand people. The university had just started, and the students were very capable, so no one knew. She could only start from the student information. Fortunately, Kasage University had a complete system, and those who could do it must be talented. Three hours later, the mini model selected more than twenty people from the list. Fifteen of them were girls. After all, there were a lot of versatile girls. 2 Monica made a list of the 20 people, and then sent them a notice. Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the dormitory. Craig was wiping the guitar in his hand. ¡°Ding Dong!¡± A message appeared on his phone, informing him to gather at the magic building. Craig was very curious because the person who sent the notice actually did it in the name of Kasage University. Craig didn¡¯t feel that he was very famous, so how could he be remembered by the school? Although he was puzzled, he still went. When it came to the school, he didn¡¯t dare to neglect it. If he was expelled from the school because of this, it would be a loss. Ten minutes later, Craig arrived at a big conference hall in the Magic Building. It was enough to accommodate two thousand people. 1 When he arrived, more than a dozen students were already present there. How long had it been since the notice? More than 20 students had all arrived. Monica also arrived at the venue on time. The reason why she had chosen this place was because it was the place where the celebration would be held. The venue here had very advanced lighting equipment, and the sound system was also among the best in the world. Even compared to those world-famous concert venues, it was not inferior in the slightest. Considering the number of people, this place was undoubtedly qualified. ¡°Hello, teacher!¡± Upon seeing Monica, more than 20 students called out respectfully. ¡°Hello, everyone. Sit down.¡± ¡°I called you here today because I need your help with something.¡± Hearing that Monica needed their help, the students were very confused. ¡°The school is preparing to hold a school opening ceremony and let the entire school party for three days.¡± Monica told them about the celebration. When all the students heard about it, they were very excited. ¡°There¡¯s actually a school opening ceremony? That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Really? When?¡± ¡°Yeah, can we go on stage and perform?¡± More than twenty students were very enthusiastic. Especially Craig, his heart was surging with excitement. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to perform in front of others, but he had never had the chance. 2 At this year¡¯s school opening ceremony, he had to seize the opportunity. ¡°Everyone, please be quiet. I was looking for you all because I want everyone here to join.¡± Hearing that they could participate in the school opening ceremony, the students were very enthusiastic. ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t worry. We will do our best!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, for this school opening ceremony, I will definitely put in 120% of my effort!¡± ¡°Teacher, quickly tell us, what should we do? We can¡¯t wait any longer!¡± Monica was very satisfied with the attitude of the students. Hence, she began to assign tasks. ¡°Craig, you will be in charge of organizing the celebration program.¡± ¡°Four boys will decorate the venue.¡± ¡°The rest will be in charge of promoting and decorating the campus.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t have enough manpower, get the other students to do it together.¡± When the students heard that they were going to accomplish something, they all enthusiastically accepted it. 1 Then, they each went to work on their own matters. In just an hour, news of the celebration spread throughout the entire school. This celebration had alarmed the entire school¡¯s students. Although the students didn¡¯t do well in their studies, they still put in a lot of effort when it came to activities. It wasn¡¯t just the chosen ones. The 2,000 students in the school started organizing activities on their own. Everyone wanted to participate in such an important event. It would take at least 20 students to organize one. Craig could perform one, but the rest wasn¡¯t easy. As a freshman, he did not know anyone. He did not know who had the ability. He was also worried about this. Back in the dormitory. Roland saw Craig¡¯s frown and asked him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± In school, only Craig and Roland were close. So Craig told Roland about the celebration. After listening to it, Roland also thought of a way for Craig. Holding a celebration was a big deal. At this time, Roland saw the program on TV. Roland had an idea. ¡°I¡¯ve thought of a way.¡± ¡°What way?¡± Craig asked excitedly. Roland smiled and sat in front of his computer, he quickly typed on the computer, and countless characters appeared on the screen. Craig was watching from the side, completely unable to understand. Ten minutes later, Roland stopped. ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± ¡°What¡¯s done?¡± Craig was very confused. He looked at Roland¡¯s computer and found an interface. ¡°Kasage University¡¯s opening ceremony, program selection.¡± Seeing this, he was very surprised. ¡°We¡¯re going out to promote now. As long as it¡¯s someone who wants to participate in the program, we just need to shoot a video and upload it.¡± ¡°And we only need to review these videos.¡± Roland told him his plan. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it now.¡± Upon hearing this, Craig agreed with Roland¡¯s idea. Then, the two of them brought their computers to the front of the teaching building. On the way, the two of them also made a banner. After preparing everything, they began to promote it. Not long after the publicity started, the nearby students all gathered around. The news of the school opening ceremony had already spread around the school. When they saw Craig¡¯s publicity, they didn¡¯t need to ask much to know what he was going to do. So they all signed up and went back to recording the video. The students were all very enthusiastic, which saved Craig a lot of trouble. In a short while, hundreds of programs were collected. Of course, they still had to go through the final confirmation. That was to say, the screening of the videos. While Craig chose the programs, the others also began to prepare the materials. To decorate the venue, they only needed to go to the warehouse to get them. But when they brought the materials over, they realized a problem. The venue was too big. Even if the five of them spent two days, they wouldn¡¯t be able to successfully decorate it, just as they were in a difficult situation, a girl walked over. ¡°You guys want to set up the venue. Can I help?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± With someone helping, they naturally agreed, ¡°I still have a few friends who also want to participate.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Let them come. We just happen to be short of manpower.¡± Now was the time when they needed manpower, so they immediately agreed. Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After getting the approval, the girls all ran to the door. ¡°Come in, all of you!¡± As the girls shouted, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside. Then, they saw more than 40 girls coming in. This time, there were enough people. ¡°Sisters, let¡¯s do it!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Everyone shouted in unison. Then, under the command of more than 50 people, they set up the arrangements. It was not just here; the entire campus was going through the same thing. Almost everyone was mobilized. Students with banners and stickers could be seen all over the campus. All of this was under the gaze of Lex. Not every student was happy. 2 The most important thing in a campus was cohesion. As long as everyone worked together, nothing would be difficult for them. Because there were no teachers, no specific instructions, and everything was done by the students themselves. They had a great sense of achievement. With the efforts of all the students, the entire campus turned into a sea of colors in one day. There were colorful lights everywhere, full of joy. Under the careful arrangement of more than fifty students, the venue was given a completely different look. It was not too gorgeous, but it was very pleasing to the eye. From this, one could see the students¡¯ talent in artistic design. Finally, more than 20 programs were confirmed in the evening. It was not an easy task to choose 20 good programs from hundreds of programs. The two of them did not sleep for almost the entire night. The programs and venues had been confirmed, and the school grounds had been set up. Next, it was time to wait for Lex to confirm the time for the final ceremony to begin. Lex watched the progress of the work. He had already decided on the time for the opening ceremony. It would be tonight. As soon as the preparatory work was completed, Lex immediately issued a notice. And it was to inform every student. All the students received the message. [ Notification: Kasage University¡¯s opening ceremony will officially begin at 7 pm tonight. ] Upon receiving this notification, the entire campus was filled with cheers. They had been looking forward to the opening ceremony for a long time. 1 Only after experiencing the opening ceremony would they officially become university students. At 6 pm. Kasage University began to become quiet. Even if a few students could be seen, they were all rushing in one direction. All the students were already waiting in the concert hall of the music room building. They were waiting for the start of the opening ceremony. There was still an hour before the start of the ceremony. But the students were willing to wait. In the backstage of the concert hall, Monica was organizing. Everyone was very serious, not daring to make any mistakes. There wasn¡¯t much time left, if there were any mistakes, it would definitely be time for the celebration to start. The students who were going to perform on the show had already changed their clothes in the changing room. It was no different from a professional performance venue. In the changing room, there were more dresses. This also saved the students a lot of time. Soon, an hour passed. The Seven o¡¯clock Bell rang on time. Lex and Owen sat in the front row of the venue. At this time, Monica walked onto the stage in her gown. Seeing Monica on stage, all the students gave a warm applause. ¡°Hello Everyone, I am the host of today¡¯s celebration. First of all, welcome to Kasage University!¡± After Monica went on stage, she gave a two-minute opening speech. At the end of the speech, she invited the president to come on stage to speak. This was the procedure of the ceremony. The principal had to go on stage. Hence, under the enthusiastic applause of all the students, Lex walked onto the stage. As he stood on stage and looked at the smiling faces, he was very excited. ¡°I¡¯m different from the other principals. I don¡¯t like long speeches.¡± 2 ¡°Everyone has been looking forward to the opening ceremony for a long time.¡± ¡°So, I¡¯ll just say a few words. I won¡¯t take up any of your time.¡± ¡°From now on, let¡¯s have the Kasage University party for three days!¡± Lex¡¯s two short sentences had already stirred up the entire atmosphere. Two thousand students cheered in unison. ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Long live the principal!¡± When Lex spoke about the three days of revelry, everyone became excited. In these three days, the entire academy would go crazy over it. After Lex finished speaking, he directly walked down the stage. Next, he handed the entire stage to the students. He also wanted to see what kind of preparations the students had made. Soon, the first program began. The first one to go on stage was Craig. This was Craig¡¯s own request. He wanted to show everyone his musical talent. This was also what he had always wanted to do. Today, it was finally going to happen. Craig couldn¡¯t wait any longer and was the first to go on stage. He took his somewhat worn-out guitar and stood on the stage. He was very nervous. It was his first time facing so many people. His nervousness was understandable. Lex looked at the young man on the stage. He felt very familiar. On the first day of school, there were several people who impressed him. Among them was Craig who came to school with his guitar. Craig liked rock and roll. Along with the music, all the students cheered together. Rock and roll was the most exciting thing in people¡¯s hearts. Especially for the students at the age of passion. It was the time for them to release themselves. Lex didn¡¯t cheer with them, he just silently felt it all. He didn¡¯t go to college, only the dull study in high school. Only here, could he feel the youth. A rock and roll performance¡­ once again the passion in students¡¯ hearts was aroused. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. After watching five or six programs, Lex left directly. He left this place entirely to the students. After Lex and Owen left. The students¡¯ last restraint also disappeared. The celebration, which was originally only two hours long, became an all-night party for 2,000 students. Those programs that were not selected also had the opportunity to go on stage. In one night, the students were able to vent and be released. The depression brought by high school and the worries brought by their parents were all released. At this moment, they forgot the past and started to prepare for a new life. 2 Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The first day of the party was over. The students went crazy for the whole night. They were all exhausted. The next day, there was still no one on campus. All the students were resting in their dorms. Kasage University was quiet. But there were still many people who couldn¡¯t be quiet. The party from yesterday had been posted by the students on Twitter. There were all kinds of videos of the party. There were even crazier people who directly posted it in their high school groups. At once, Kasage University became popular on the Internet. Especially when the principal spoke; Lex had said that the party would last for three days. This sentence had already been spread all over the internet. But the internet comments were full of curses. The university campus was a place for students to learn. Such a crazy celebration was simply indulging the students. Although there were many people cursing, the students from other schools were extremely envious. Ten miles away from Kasage University, there was a university. This university was Saint University. It was a key university. But it was built in the suburbs and was a distance away from the city. Instead, it was closer to Kasage university. In the dormitory of Saint University. Emma was playing with her phone. At this moment, a message popped up on herphone. It was from a high school classmate. There was nothing else, only a video. Emma opened it curiously. A familiar figure appeared. It was Lex¡¯s speech on the stage. ¡°From now on, let¡¯s party for three days!¡± Hearing Lex¡¯s words, Emma could not believe it. Where was Lex? Kasage University? Did he get into university? Emma watched it a few more times in confusion. She finally understood, but the shock on her face could not be hidden. She remembered Kasage¡¯s words. 3 Lex had really become the president of the university. Emma was not the only one who saw Lex. Many of Lex¡¯s former classmates had seen this video. For a time, Lex became a hot topic among her high school classmates. On Twitter, they kept trying to figure out what had happened to Lex. ¡°Students! Lex has become popular!¡± 1 ¡°I¡¯ve already seen it. Lex has become the president of a University?¡± ¡°It must be fake. If he can¡¯t even get into a university, how can he become the president?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, this is too fake. Who knows, he might be working on a construction site somewhere.¡± Out of more than fifty high school classmates, no one except Emma trusted Lex. This was also because Lex had once wanted to become a principal. Otherwise, no one would be willing to believe that a person who could not even get into a university could actually be treated like an adult. Emma looked at Twitter but didn¡¯t say anything. She knew that no one would believe her even if she said it. After all, this was too unbelievable. Lex also watched these people chatting. But he didn¡¯t respond. Because he knew that from now on, he wouldn¡¯t have any contact with those people. In his view, these people were just clowns. The past had nothing to do with him. As time passed. Kasage University¡¯s popularity rose again. Students gradually woke up from their dreams. Yesterday¡¯s fatigue couldn¡¯t resist their enthusiasm. At this time, everyone received a message. There was going to be a party in the square in front of the teaching building. There were all kinds of delicious food. Hearing that there was a party to attend, everyone rushed over. Some people had just woken up and hadn¡¯t eaten yet. Now that there was delicious food to enjoy, they naturally wouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity. The square in front of the school building was crowded with people. There were all kinds of food, cakes, drinks, and barbeque. These were all provided by the school cafeteria. The original barbeque was also ready. But Wilson said that he wanted everyone to show off their skills. He only took some ingredients and started to cook. 1 In the beginning, everyone didn¡¯t have much confidence in Wilson¡¯s cooking. They just let him try. But after he tried it, everyone was full of praise. So Wilson became the Barbeque Master of the party. 4 Watching the students praise his cooking, Wilson was also very happy. At home, no matter how well he did, he would be criticized. Now he was recognized by everyone. Wilson was very happy. Slowly, more and more people gathered in the square. 2,000 students gathered together. At this time, music sounded. In the middle of the square, five people were playing. Five people formed a band, and it was a rock band. The leader of the band was yesterday¡¯s first performer, Craig. After seeing Craig¡¯s performance yesterday, several people who liked rock also came to him. They wanted to perform with him. So Craig formed a band. Today was the band¡¯s first performance. The music was loud and the students gathered around. The music was like that of a party. As the music became louder and louder, the students around began to dance. The whole square was filled with laughter. Kasage University was once again in a frenzy. And this time it was even crazier than yesterday. Lex didn¡¯t stop them. His goal was to let them vent. Kasage University was a free university. So there were no traditional ideas. Students could do whatever they wanted. Traditional ideas would only suppress students¡¯ creativity. After more than ten years of education, these students¡¯ traditional ideas were deeply ingrained. If you want to get rid of the old ideas, you have to make them crazy. Only in this way can you make them realize that the old ideas are wrong. There were people partying in the square, and some people had already taken videos and sent them out. Soon, Kasage University once started trending on the entire internet. While the new students started studying in other schools, Kasage University students were partying. But other people were also seeing these videos: the parents of the students. When they saw how crazy their children were, the parents were very angry. They sent their children to school so that they could learn something and get a degree. If they kept going like this, what would they do in the future? Now they were starting to think whether sending their children to Kasage University was the right choice. 3 Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Saint University. When the students checked their phones, the first thing they saw was the video sent by Kasage University. ¡°What is this place? It¡¯s actually so interesting?¡± Seeing this video, the students who didn¡¯t know immediately became interested. ¡°This is Kasage University next door. It¡¯s having a party.¡± Someone explained. ¡°This is a university? Aren¡¯t you lying to me? A university can have a party every day?¡± ¡°Seeing them so happy, I want to go to Kasage University.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so envious. We can only bask in the sun here.¡± Hearing this, the surrounding students were filled with resentment. Many people had classmates at Kasage University. Looking at their high school classmates, they were actually so happy. Why did other people have parties every day while they basked in the sun? The difference was too big. Especially considering these students were students with very poor grades. But they could only be envious and watch others enjoy themselves. Emma was also on the training ground. She naturally heard what others were talking about. So she quickly found the video that was sent out. It was Kasage University again. Because she had seen many familiar faces in the video yesterday. They had already gone crazy for an entire night, and now they were here again? Emma was very confused. At this moment, she remembered something Lex said. Three days of partying! She did not expect this to be true. She felt that such a school would not be accepted. Doing so would only lead the students astray. It was irresponsible for the future of the students. 2 No matter what outsiders said, it would not affect the students in the carnival. Lex did not care about what others said about Kasage University. Was Kasage university right or wrong? He would use the results to prove it. The cheers in Kasage University continued until very late. After the students were tired, they slowly went back to rest. As the square in front of the teaching building became fewer and fewer, the party ended the next day. Kasage University regained its peace, but the number of other students could not be counted. All they could think about now was the video sent by Kasage University. There was even a feeling of envy and jealousy. Some of the students had already begun to plan whether they could go to Kasage University to have a good time. The long night quietly passed. The students began another long day. Saint University. It was very obvious that the number of people today was much less than yesterday. ¡°Why are there so few people in your class?¡± ¡°They all took leave.¡± A class leader stood out and took out leave slips. The reason behind these leave of absence slips was the same. All of them were sick. If it was one or two, the teacher would definitely not care. But with the sudden loss of more than ten, there was definitely something wrong. ¡°Call them over, or else they¡¯ll all fail!¡± The teacher said to the class leader. Very soon, that class leader returned. But he was the only one there; he did not call them back at all. ¡°Where are they?¡± The teacher said coldly. ¡°They¡­ are not here.¡± The class leader whispered from the side. ¡°Not here?¡± He did not say anything since he was sleeping in the dormitory. Now, he could not even find anyone. ¡°All of you stand here!¡± After saying that, the teacher angrily walked towards the class teacher¡¯s office. He did not know where the students had gone when he found the class teacher. He wasn¡¯t the only teacher who had gone to the teacher¡¯s office. Many students from different classes had asked for leave collectively. Soon, this matter alarmed the headteacher. So many students had suddenly disappeared. He didn¡¯t dare to be careless. So he started investigating. It didn¡¯t take long for the investigation to come to a conclusion. These students all went in the same direction in batches. And this direction was where Kasage was located. Kasage University had been very popular in the past two days. Very soon, they guessed the students¡¯ intentions. After receiving the conclusion, Saint University quickly reported this matter to the president. In the President¡¯s office. The director ran in in a hurry. ¡°President, we¡¯re in trouble!¡± ¡°Our students have all gone to the neighboring school!¡± Seeing the dean¡¯s appearance, the president frowned. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Tell me clearly.¡± As the president, he was very busy every day and did not have time to watch videos. Thus, he did not know anything about Kasage¡¯s matter. The Dean explained the matter in detail. After hearing it, the principal was puzzled. There was such a school that had three days of partying? However, this was the matter of another school, and he couldn¡¯t care less. However, he knew that such a school wouldn¡¯t last long. It wouldn¡¯t be able to recruit students for the second year. No parent would be willing to watch their child go crazy every day. ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about this matter. All students who took leave today will be punished!¡± The president could only deal with it this way. There were more than a hundred students who took leave. He couldn¡¯t expel all of them. He could only punish them slightly. ¡°I understand.¡± Since the president had spoken, the dean couldn¡¯t say anything else. The president didn¡¯t think too much about this matter. How could a newly built school compare to a famous school like Saint University. 1 At this moment, many unfamiliar faces appeared at Kasage University. But no one doubted it. It was only the beginning of the semester, so the students weren¡¯t familiar with each other yet. There were more than two thousand people in the school, and no one could guarantee that they would know everyone. However, Lex was different. As long as someone passed through the school gate, they would automatically be recognized as someone from the school. All the information about the students had entered the school system, but these outsiders did not exist in the system. As soon as they entered the school, Lex received a reminder. After knowing the identity of these people, he completely ignored them. As long as they did not cause trouble, they did not threaten the safety of the students. There was no need to care too much. Kasage University¡¯s purpose was freedom, not locking up the students. Communicating with the outside world was also a way to improve the students. Moreover, this was also an opportunity to improve Kasage University¡¯s reputation. Only when more people saw the university¡¯s bright spots would they be recognized. Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When the people of Saint University entered Kasage University, they were all dumbfounded. How was this a school? It was simply paradise. This place was simply much better than the university they were attending. Needless to say, the teaching equipment was even better. This was not on the same level at all. More importantly, they were a magic academy. Before they came, they didn¡¯t believe that there was a magic academy in this world? 2 It was amazing! It was like a dream had become a reality. Along the way, they didn¡¯t see any trash. The air was much fresher, making people feel relaxed. Staying in this school made it impossible for them to leave. At this time, the students of Kasage university all looked in one direction. It was the direction of the stadium. In the basketball court of the stadium. There were two areas in the basketball court, half of which was the spectator stand and the other half was the playing field. After two days of partying, they were a little bored. So today, they chose the venue of the party to be in the stadium. It was also a kind of carnival to sweat in the stadium. It was not only the basketball court, volleyball, tennis, and swimming pool. There were people in all the sports venues. And there were all kinds of games. There were all kinds of food around, and they could enjoy it for free. Seeing this, the foreign students were even more envious. What was college life? This was the college life they wanted. They thought about how they would bask in the sun every day on the training ground while they could have fun. This kind of contrast made everyone feel sad. If they had known about this school, they would not have gone to Saint University. If they could enjoy each day, they would not have missed it. As for other things, they had long forgotten about them. It was another day of partying. Everyone played until very late. Those students outside the school also left very late, reluctant to part. They had no choice, they still had to go to class the next day. After all, they were not from this school. The next day, everyone came to the stadium with exhausted bodies. Everyone had dark circles under their eyes. They played until very late yesterday and didn¡¯t have much energy today. After the teacher saw it, he was very angry. Thus, he doubled the number of exercises. All the students could only complain in their hearts and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. Suddenly, they felt that the people at Kasage University were really too happy. This time, they went to Kasage University not only to play. At the same time, they found out a lot about Kasage University. It was a real magic university. At the same time, there were no teachers and no fixed courses. All of them studied according to their own interests. This was the ideal university in their minds. 2 Instead of studying meaningless things every day. The students who went to Kasage University began to talk about it to their friends. They described Kasage University as very beautiful. Just listening to it made the students yearn to go to Kasage University. All of a sudden, all the students were filled with curiosity about Kasage University. The three-day Carnival was finally over. The minds of the students at Kasage University had slowly changed. Those traditional ideas had been diluted. Now they were more in pursuit of freedom and dreams. Lex had achieved what he wanted. But the happy days were over. All the students returned to their student status. Today, all the students got up very early. They were all waiting for the school¡¯s notice. By noon, there was no news of what to do next. Therefore, some students came to Monica¡¯s office. Monica was the only one among the three school leaders that they could see. ¡°Please come in.¡± Monica let the students into the office. Soon, six students walked in together. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Monica asked the students. Hearing Monica¡¯s question, a boy walked forward. The boy¡¯s name was Adam, a retired special forces soldier. He joined the army when he was 18 years old because he was very strong. He only stayed in the army for two months, and then he joined the special forces. Three years later, he retired. He caught up with the enrollment of Kasage University. He had always wanted to experience college life, so he chose to sign up. Although he was a special forces soldier who had retired, his biggest hobby was actually machinery. He had always wanted to build a battle mecha. When he was in the army, he had even modified a tank. However, the army¡¯s requirements were very high and did not give him the chance to develop. He also wanted to continue to enter university, but ordinary universities did not want him at all. In the end, he chose Kasage University. ¡°When are we going to have classes?¡± ¡°Our school doesn¡¯t have teachers. We only provide you with the learning environment and equipment. In the future, it will be up to you.¡± 2 Monica said to the few students. ¡°Teacher, we understand. We will definitely work hard in the future.¡± After being encouraged, the students were full of energy. After that, the students left. When the students heard the news, they were very happy. They also let the students know that the time to pursue their dreams was coming. So they quickly took action. Some people led their own band, and a group of music lovers began to study the magic of music. They played together and learned about magic at the same time. There was also a hacker who had always wanted to develop his own artificial intelligence. But he knew that his ability was limited, so he wanted to organize his own team in the school. So he gathered all the computer enthusiasts, gave them lectures, and cultivated his own team. There were also teams of chefs. Most of them were girls. The food they ate was also different. There were also people who entered the laboratory. Seeing so many types of alchemy experiment equipment, they became even crazier. They were addicted to experiments. There were also people who wanted to build mechas. At this time, they finally had the chance to realize their dreams. The entire blue sky university started to move. 1 Everyone was doing what they liked and working hard for their dreams. Chapter 20 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When Lex saw that the students were working very hard, he was very happy. However, what they were learning at the moment was only the basics. They could not integrate well with magic yet. Lex knew that he had to do something. As the principal, he could not stay in the office every day. He began to organize the information of the Magic Academy and prepare the magic files that were suitable for each student. After working in the office for a day, he was happy to see that the school was on the right track. The glory of Kasage University was not far away. Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since the new students started school. 1 All the students were on the right track. The other schools went into the mechanical life of classes and after classes. Only once in a while, they would hold a club activity. But not all the students liked their major. Many people were forced by their parents to choose. 2 A good major that they thought could make money and be respected by others. But these majors were not their favorite majors. The parents wanted their children¡¯s future. And they never cared whether their children want to learn. 1 It didn¡¯t matter whether the children could learn or not, they had to force them to learn. They feel like they were the most understanding people. This made it impossible for many students to get into learning. 2 They just spent their days in a daze. They had no goal of moving forward at all. They were like robots, living a programmed life. All universities were like this. But Kasage University was completely different. It was full of passion and laughter. There was no revelry during the study period, but at night. The students would play in the school square with their own music team. Magic and music. Even without modern equipment, they could play very loud music. The performance always attracted a lot of students. Then the whole square turned into a party. There were people who prepared food for the students. Almost every student could stay and taste the food. Singing and dancing, everyone could participate in it. The students improved their abilities while enjoying the process. Lex was happy to see the result. And he fully supported it. But in the eyes of others, this was not the case. Others mostly considered it a joke. Playing every day with others was not doing a proper job, and it would also delay the future of the students. No one was optimistic about Kasage University. They even felt that Kasage University would soon close down. After that, there would be no way to recruit students. Who would want their children to go down a road of no return? But the students of other universities did not think so. They knew it was wrong, but they could not suppress their yearning heart. This feeling of freedom brought a great impact on the students. The students now felt like birds in a cage, without any hope. They want to break this restraint, just like the students at Kasage University. But the world of traditional ideas still made them very hesitant. They had no way to break the traditional shackles. Students should be like students. The most affected was the closest to Kasage University, Saint University. One could often see Saint University students going out to Kasage University inside. Gradually, students had formed a habit of thinking of them as their Kasage University students. And in Kasage University, everyone could learn what they wanted to learn. Including the magic that they thought only appeared in TV shows and movies. This made them even more reluctant to go back to their own schools. These things were also noticed by Lex, but he did not take any measures. Since the students were here to study, it meant that he was heading in the right direction. As for whether other universities would come looking for trouble, he did not care at all. However, he was now thinking about another matter. Among the two thousand students, there were dozens of students who were very antisocial. They also never got along with others and did not participate in activities. They just stayed in the dormitory every day. Their only hobby was playing games; an addiction to games. And played a kind of MOBA game. In this world, students playing games is a very strict issue. As long as parents see their children playing games, there will be very strict criticism. They think that playing games will only delay school, and even affect the future of their children. It didn¡¯t matter what achievements you made in games. The whole world had a big misunderstanding about games. Lex wasn¡¯t prejudiced against playing games. But he knew that if he indulged in games every day, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything in life. He couldn¡¯t watch his students continue like this. At this time, Lex was thinking about how to solve this problem. He casually spoke to his assistant, ¡°Lingling, do you have any way to solve this problem?¡± ¡°Principal, you can arrange some things for them to do to distract their attention.¡± Lingling could only give some simple suggestions. But it was not difficult to help Lex solve the problem. Find some things to do? Is distraction possible? This sentence from Lingling gave Lex a bit of a headache. He could not force the students to do something that they did not like. Because this did not conform to the philosophy of Kasage University of magic. The students¡¯ favorite thing was to play games. ¡°Play games!¡± Suddenly, Lex had an idea. He thought of a profession that was popular all over the world. One of the most popular professions in the world, e-sports players. E-sports was different from ordinary games. It was a sports culture. 1 Although there were many children who were addicted to it, it was mostly a matter of supervision. And the education of e-sports. E-sports included a lot of creativity, which could be believed. It also required a high level of mental and psychological endurance. It was also a form of social interaction. Watching high-level esports games was like watching football games. Chapter 21 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation There was no such thing as e-sports in this world, nor in any school. Otherwise, the whole school would be condemned by society. Parents sent their children to study, not to play games in school. What future could there be in playing games? Would there be money to be made? 3 That was the reality of society. But Lex didn¡¯t care about any of that. He was in a magic academy. A place where dreams and miracles could happen. In his heart, he also had a dream of e-sports. For various reasons, he couldn¡¯t realize it before. But here, he wanted to realize this dream. At the same time, he wanted to give those students who loved playing games a way out. Let them use their actions to tell the world. If they played games well, they could also make money. They could be respected and would become stars. They could even have a future and a way out. They could also make their parents proud by playing games and making money. So, they made a decision in their hearts. They wanted to create the first e-sports class in the world. Since it was already decided, Lex did not hesitate anymore. He immediately asked Lingling to send a notice to the students who were staying in the dormitory. And it was sent in the name of the principal. Lex also asked Lingling to record the information of these students. The notice was sent out very quickly. Dormitory building. Sixth Floor, 605. A student who looked a little sloppy was sitting in front of the computer. His fingers were constantly typing on the keyboard. At this moment, his gaze was very serious, as if no one could disturb him. This student¡¯s name was Edward. His family ran a factory and was of a capitalist class. He was very rich. Although there was no guarantee that he would be very rich all his life, the funds and stocks he bought could make his life comfortable and easy. From junior high school onwards, he was attracted to gaming. It was also at that time that his grades began to fall. Finally, he barely managed to get into a high school. Even after he entered the high school, he still could not stop playing the computer games. His parents had criticized him countless times over this matter. However, Edward was still very persistent. Even if he smashed his computer, he would think of other ways to play computer games. In the end, Edward¡¯s parents had no choice but to give up. When he took the exam, it was a complete mess. There was no hope of going to college. His parents had planned for him to take over the family business. Even if it could not continue to grow. But at least there would be a guarantee of life. At least they did not have to worry about eating every day. But they didn¡¯t expect Edward to be accepted by Kasage University. They thought that their son would definitely change after entering the university. Even if he couldn¡¯t change, it was no problem for him to make friends, find his own happiness in the game, and playing games wasn¡¯t complete without achievements. Even in the MOBA game, his skill level and operation were top-notch. Among the hundreds of thousands of players who played the game, there was no one who didn¡¯t know his name. 2 At this time, he was killing his way through the game. Suddenly, he received a notice. It was from the principal, asking him to meet up on the eighth floor of the alchemy building. After seeing this message, Edward was perplexed. If he couldn¡¯t find the principal, no one would find him. In the school, he could be said to have no sense of presence. How could he have received a message from the principal? However, he didn¡¯t think much about it. He didn¡¯t dare to neglect the principal¡¯s call. So he quickly ended his game. Then, he packed up and walked into the alchemy building. Next to Edward, there was another student who received a notice from Lex. This student¡¯s name was Conan. 2 He was different from Edward. Conan didn¡¯t spend much time with him, but he had a strong gaming talent. In just a month¡¯s time, he had achieved his title of killing God in the middle of the game. He used to be a very low self-esteem person because of his poor grades. He was often ridiculed by others. However, he could find confidence in the game. Especially when someone called him God. It could give him a great comfort in his heart. This was also the reason why he was addicted to the game. When he received the notice from the principal, he hurriedly put down his game. Then he walked out of the dormitory. He liked this school very much, and he was very grateful to the principal for giving him the opportunity to go to university. If the president called him, he would definitely go without hesitation. Edward and Conan met. They both glanced at each other. But they didn¡¯t know each other and didn¡¯t even greet each other. The two of them headed towards the alchemy building. On the way, the two of them didn¡¯t say a word. Soon, the two of them arrived at room 802 on the eighth floor of the Alchemy Building. It was a luxurious computer room full of very advanced computers. The design was also lush. Although the room was very large, there were dozens of computers in it. Each point was a separate location. It had the atmosphere of an e-sports room. The two of them walked to the computer room at the same time. At this time, there were already more than a dozen students waiting in the computer room. After the two of them entered the computer room, they found a random place to sit down. Then, they saw the rest of the students walk in one by one. There were a total of thirty-five students who came here. They were all notified by Lex. They were students who did not come out of the dormitory and were playing games. All the students had arrived. At this moment, Lex walked in. Everyone knew this young principal. ¡°Hello, Principal!¡± All the students greeted him in unison. ¡°Alright, take a seat.¡± Lex did not put on the airs of a principal. Come to think of it, these were all his peers. ¡°I called all of you here today because of the matter of playing games.¡± 1 Lex told them her purpose for today. 1 ¡°Playing games?¡± Upon hearing this, all the students were stunned. Then, they lowered their heads in embarrassment. They were rather worried. They also knew that they had been here for a month and played games every day. This kind of thing would definitely be criticized or they could even be expelled. However, they liked Kasage University very much and did not want to be expelled. Chapter 22 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Principal, we all know we were wrong. Give me another chance.¡± ¡°I really like this school.¡± Edward stood up and admitted his mistake. It was not easy to get into a university. He deeply remembered this sentence. It was what his parents told him when he received kasage¡¯s acceptance letter. ¡°Son, we are all proud of you!¡± This was the first time Edward had done something that made them proud. It also made Edward remember this scene deeply. Therefore, he also cherished this opportunity very much. ¡°Student, sit down first. I am not here to criticize you today.¡± Lex gestured for Edward to calm down. After hearing Lex¡¯s words, Edward was relieved. However, the other students were puzzled. Since they were not going to be expelled, what was the reason then? ¡°Students, I just want to ask, why do you like to play games?¡± Lex asked each of the students in the classroom. The students looked at each other with puzzlement. They did not understand why the principal would ask such a question. But at the same time, they were torn apart. Why did they like to play games? ¡°Then you can answer.¡± Lex looked at Edward. Edward was stunned for a moment, then he stood up. ¡°I like the feeling of being in control of the overall situation in the game.¡± He thought for a moment, then he gave his answer. Lex did not comment on Edward¡¯s answer. Then, he simply asked another question. ¡°There is a major in gaming now. Do you want to join?¡± Hearing this question, Edward was stunned. There was actually a major in gaming? Was there really a major? But what did this have to do with magic? 1 Edward wasn¡¯t the only one who couldn¡¯t believe it. The other students couldn¡¯t believe it either. How was the gaming major related to magic? Moreover, in the Magic Academy, they could also play games? ¡°You must be very confused now, so I¡¯ll explain it to you.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the most important thing in games?¡± ¡°It¡¯s reaction speed and game level.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t improve your game level, but this can be done through training from the day after tomorrow. Teamwork and mutual improvement can both improve the understanding and level of the game.¡± ¡°I can help you improve one thing, and that is reaction speed.¡± ¡°Your reaction speed could be even higher than that of pro players.¡± ¡°Using magic to increase everyone¡¯s reaction speed, even if you can be 0.1 seconds faster than others, in professional e-sports, that is still a huge advantage.¡± ¡°And using magic can not only make everyone¡¯s reaction speed faster than other people, but you can also be faster than computers.¡± 3 ¡°Think about it. You can completely determine the direction of the enemy¡¯s skills. Your reaction speed and operating speed can also allow you to dodge their skills and make a judgment counterattack at the most appropriate time.¡± ¡°This is the ability of reaction speed in e-sports games.¡± Edward and the other students were stunned when they heard this. This was because what Lex said was right. They were all gamers who had been in the game for many years. They knew very well that if they could react faster than the others, they would have a huge advantage. Their eyes were filled with anticipation. ¡°If there really is such a major, are you willing to join?¡± Lex asked the other students the same question. The thirty-five students all had strange expressions and did not know how to answer. ¡°Principal, if there really is such a major, I will be the first to join, but¡­¡± Edward was the first to answer Lex¡¯s question. But he did not finish his sentence. Actually, he wanted to ask, was there really such a major? The other students also began to answer. ¡°I¡¯m willing to join!¡± ¡°Me Too!¡± ¡°Me Too!¡± None of the thirty-five students said that they weren¡¯t willing. They knew that this was their only chance at life. They didn¡¯t want to be looked down upon by others. They also didn¡¯t want to be treated as the scum of society. If there was a chance, they also wanted to make their parents proud of themselves. However, they liked playing video games. It was a profession that was misunderstood by all the parents. Hearing the students¡¯ answers, Lex was very satisfied. As long as they were motivated, they would still be good students. ¡°Then let our school set up the first major to play video games, e-sports.¡± Lex gave his decision. E-sports? Hearing this word, all the students were puzzled. Because this was a very unfamiliar word, and they had never heard of it. 1 ¡°Principal, what is e-sports?¡± Edward couldn¡¯t help but ask Lex. Not only him, but the other students also wanted to ask that question. ¡°E-sports is not just playing video games. It is a form of sport using video games. It can train and improve the participants¡¯ thinking, reaction, limb coordination, and willpower.¡± ¡°This is amazing?¡± The students did not expect that there was such a sport. ¡°And the most important thing is team spirit.¡± ¡°E-sports is also a profession. It is the same as chess, ball games, and all other games.¡± Lex tried to explain the concept of e-sports. After hearing his explanation, the students gradually understood. However, they had no knowledge of playing games as a sport. ¡°Principal, is there also an e-sports competitions?¡± Edward asked in confusion. E-sports was something he had never heard of. Moreover, it was a competition approved by the country. Did such a competition really exist? ¡°No!¡± ¡°So, you will be the first batch of people to join the e-sports industry.¡± ¡°You will create an era that belongs to you.¡± ¡°To kick off e-sports.¡± Lex said without hesitation. His words shocked all the students, but also ignited the enthusiasm of the students. ¡®To create an era of e-sports!¡¯ ¡®It sounds so hot-blooded!¡¯ Chapter 23 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation What a bold statement. But could these people really do it? They knew very well how difficult it was to create an era. ¡°I know that this is not easy. I will give you three minutes to think about it.¡± ¡°Tell me your answer in three minutes.¡± Lex also knew that this would be a huge challenge for these students. If they wanted to create an era of e-sports, they would have to face the criticism of the entire world. They did not understand. Moreover, they would not receive any support. The only thing they could rely on was Kasage University. It was precisely because of this that Lex did not want to force them. Only by having a firm heart could they succeed. Time slowly passed. Three minutes seemed to go by very fast. However, in the hearts of these students, it felt like three hundred years had passed. Time was up. Lex waited for the students¡¯ decision. ¡°I am willing to join!¡± Edward was the first to stand up. He had already received quite a lot of criticism for playing games. So what if he continued to receive criticism? If he could create an era of e-sports, it would not only benefit him, but also thousands of game fans. ¡°I¡¯m willing too.¡± Conan also stood up. 1 In the game, he had regained his confidence. It was impossible for him to give up now. Moreover, he wanted to see his parents being proud of him again. Even if this matter was extremely difficult. ¡°I¡¯m in!¡± ¡°I¡¯m in too!¡± ¡°Me Too!¡± In an instant, all thirty-five students stood up. Each of them had a determined gaze. In the past, they had no goals. Now that they had something worth fighting for, they would definitely continue on! Moreover, it was a game that they loved. Lex looked at the thirty-five students and felt that they were all talents that could be created. He was very happy. The students did not disappoint him either. ¡°Very good!¡± ¡°Now I officially announce! In the Kasage University, the esports major has been officially established!¡± ¡°You are the first batch of students of the esports class.¡± Lex announced. ¡°That¡¯s Great!¡± The thirty-five students shouted excitedly. The establishment of the esports major had also resulted in the esports class. They could be considered to have truly integrated into this school. Following that, Lex brought the thirty-five students to the notice board in the teaching building. All the majors of Kasage University were written on the notice board. It was written that esports had become Kasage¡¯s major, so naturally, it had to be written as well. ¡°Edward!¡± Lex shouted at Edward. After Edward heard it, he walked towards the notice board. Lex was very optimistic about Edward. He could see that Lex had a certain degree of leadership ability. 1 Moreover, he had high aspirations and was very suitable to lead the esports class. E-sports was a kind of team competition. Individual ability was indeed very important. But most importantly, it was a kind of team cooperation. With an excellent captain, the team could definitely go further. Lex had intended to train Edward. Edward walked to the notice board and wrote a word in the blank space. ¡°Esports!¡± At this moment, the esports major appeared in Kasage University¡¯s list of majors. Looking at the word on the notice board, the thirty-five students were excited. At the same time, they knew what they were going to face next. Seeing the principal¡¯s appearance, the other students also surrounded him. They also saw the words ¡®esports¡¯. But they didn¡¯t understand what it meant. After that, Lex brought the students to a luxurious classroom. This was the room that Lex had prepared long ago. It was also the e-sports room in the future. ¡°This will be the place where you will be active in the future.¡± ¡°The computer room just now will be used for training.¡± ¡°Edward, I will appoint you as the team leader. I will leave it to you in the future.¡± After saying that, Lex left immediately. None of the thirty-five students said anything. They knew that they would have to rely on themselves in the future. At this moment, Edward walked to the podium. ¡°Students, this is the first day that our esports class is established.¡± ¡°Everyone, please introduce yourselves first. State your game name and occupation.¡± ¡°I will be the first to come. My game name is ¡®world of domination¡¯. My occupation is Mage.¡± 3 Since he had been personally appointed as the team leader by the principal, Edward naturally had to shoulder this responsibility. He didn¡¯t ask everyone to introduce their real name. Instead, he asked them to reveal their game name. Only then would it have the characteristics of an esports class. When he finished speaking, the other students were all surprised. World domination. This name was the number one mage in the entire server. 2 Everyone in Chang¡¯an had gaming experience. They also knew the names of the top experts in the game. Edward¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t just for show. He was a textbook existence. Many people wanted to play this game because they had watched his videos to learn. ¡°You are the world of hegemony?¡± Finally, someone couldn¡¯t help but ask. Edward nodded and didn¡¯t deny it. He knew that if he wanted to lead a good team, he had to have a certain level of strength. Without strength, no one would listen to his orders. Competitive games were like this. Without a commander, it was like a pile of loose sand. No matter how strong an individual was, it would be useless. The more top-tier experts, the more it was like this, and the more they needed the cooperation of the team. Thus, Edward knew that now was not the time to be modest. ¡°My name is Hui Yue, and my profession is jungler.¡± When he said his name, Conan was a little embarrassed. Because it was very similar to a girl¡¯s name. But he did not expect that he would say it in such an awkward situation. As soon as he said it, Edward felt that this name was very familiar. It was as if he had heard it somewhere before. ¡°Radiant Moon? I think I¡¯ve heard it somewhere before?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this the name of the Wild King of the entire server?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, he¡¯s the Wild King!¡± Very quickly, someone recognized Conan¡¯s name. Conan¡¯s talent in gaming was very strong. He had only come into contact with gaming for two months before he became the Wild King of the entire server. His technology was much better than Edward¡¯s. 2 However, he did not have Edward¡¯s managerial skills. Chapter 24 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Hearing everyone¡¯s discussion, Conan was extremely embarrassed. However, he was extremely happy in his heart, because this was also his recognition. After everyone discussed for a while, they all introduced themselves once. Very quickly, the thirty-five people all introduced themselves. Although the people behind weren¡¯t as strong as the first two people, they were still the top fifty experts in the entire server. When they gathered together, the strength that they could display in the future would be very terrifying. In addition to the enhancement of their magic abilities, they would definitely become the king of the games. After the self-introduction, everyone nodded to each other. Edward also had a rough idea of everyone¡¯s strength. He knew that this was a necessary thing. As long as he understood the strength of his team members, it would be easier for him to be the leader. Since everyone had finished introducing, it was the time to choose a name for the team. ¡®Now, I have to think of a team¡¯s name.¡¯ Edward felt that in the e-sports class, he was about to establish a team. This team was the first step they would take. ¡°Since it consists of Kasage University¡¯s students, then we¡¯ll be Kasage Battle Team!¡± 3 Edward said. ¡°Kasage Battle Team, I agree!¡± ¡°I agree as well!¡± No one had any objections to this name. This opportunity was given to them by Kasage University, and they would always remember it. ¡°Alright, from now on, our battle team¡¯s name will be Kasage Battle Team!¡± ¡°I will now announce the official establishment of the Kasage Battle Team!¡± Edward directly announced the name of the team. Following that, a group of people discussed the future development of the battle team. They had only completed the first step. It was also the smallest step. There were still bigger challenges waiting for them. The e-sports major had been established, it was also the first time that such a major had appeared. No one had any experience, so they could only slowly explore it. Lex would also occasionally go to see the development of e-sports classes and provide some experience of the past life. He was very optimistic about the e-sports industry. Because e-sports was not only about playing games, but it was also a complete set of industry. E-sports could increase employment, as well as it could increase demand. E-sports would become an industry chain, it was the beginning of the establishment of e-sports clubs. It would provide ample opportunities in terms of leadership, coaches, Data Analysis, media, esports anchor, commentary etc.. There would also be e-sports event planning, operations, the release and editing of e-sports video, as well as synthetic processing, esports broadcasting, and commercial cooperation. This showed the true potential of e-sports. However, it would not be done overnight. Moreover, it would not be easy to change other people¡¯s minds. People¡¯s prejudice against games. Now esports classes were on the right track. Edward led thirty-five people to make their training plans and their vision for the future. Edward¡¯s ability to lead the team was strong, and the management of the team was also well organized. Lex could also be at ease He did not interfere in the management of the Kasage Battle Team. He just provided them with a general direction and necessary things, and the rest had to be done by themselves. This was also a kind of improvement to their ability. As long as their ability improved, they could face challenges in the future. With the development of the e-sports major during this period of time, all the students in Kasage University knew that the President had established an e-sports major. 1 Its specific purpose was to play games. When the students first heard about this major, they were very curious. Could there be such a major specifically? However, when they saw the e-sports class training, they knew what hot-blooded was. This was the first time they had seen video games, and it was so beautiful. They even wanted to participate in it. However, after seeing it more often, it was not surprising. Kasage University also did a lot of things that were against common sense. This was not a big deal. On this day, a foreign student came to Kasage University. This was once Lex¡¯s rich second generation neighbor, Peter. Kasage University often had people from other schools come in. This was not the first time, so he was not eye-catching. Peter came here to see Lex¡¯s situation. He knew Lex¡¯s background very well. How could he suddenly become the president? There must be a secret. Peter sneaked into the teaching building and slowly observed the situation here. When he came to the third floor, he saw the e-sports class that was going on here. This made him perplexed? ¡°The students are actually playing video games in class?¡± The esports class was completely incomprehensible to Peter. Usually, playing video games was not considered a proper job, not to mention playing video games in class. He had visited some classes just now, but he did not see any teachers. There were students standing on the platform. It was common for teachers to give lectures in universities, but this sight was very rare. Peter didn¡¯t have much doubt. But now, he had a new understanding of the university. Was this really a university? Peter took out his cell phone, turned on the camera, and began to film the classroom. As long as this video could be released, even if Lex was the president of Kasage University, he would be implicated. After being neighbors with Lex for three years, Peter had always been envious of him. He was stronger than Lex in everything he did. He was even admitted to a top university, but Lex failed. It made him proud. But when he heard that Lex had become the president, he felt envious again. How could a student who could not even get into a university become the president of a university? Moreover, he was just a student. If Lex became the president, even if it was to pressurize him, Peter couldn¡¯t see such a thing happen. Now that this scene was filmed at Kasage University. It was equivalent to having something on Lex. Peter filmed for two minutes outside, then turned around, and left. With such important evidence, he had an upper hand. Chapter 25 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter didn¡¯t dare stop for a second and went back to his dorm room. He got on his computer, and he then uploaded the video from his phone to his computer. After some editing, he anonymously posted it to a big website. The title was: ¡°Secrets of the university campus, exposing Kasage University!¡± The website where he uploaded the video was very popular. Very soon, the video would spread. As expected. As soon as the video appeared, it received a lot of attention. The issue of education had always been the peak point of everyone¡¯s attention. Now, someone had exposed a video of students playing video games in class. It naturally became a hot topic. In just an hour, the video had been forwarded more than 100,000 times. Almost the entire Internet was circulating this video. The Internet was in an uproar. ¡°Kasage University? Why haven¡¯t I heard of it?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be some rubbish school, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s this kind of irresponsible school that has corrupted the students.¡± ¡°We must strictly investigate this school. This will ruin the future of the students.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, such a school can¡¯t exist!¡± The entire internet was filled with voices criticizing Kasage University. 1 They even wanted to report Kasage University to the Ministry of Education. Peter saw that his video had been spread so widely, and a smile appeared on his face. The power of the internet was very strong now. This matter would be seen by the parents of those students very soon. As long as the parents could get involved, it would alert the relevant departments. With the involvement of the government, Lex would definitely not be able to become the president. Peter seemed to see the hope of victory. Kasage University. In the President¡¯s office. Lex was looking at the documents. At this moment, Lingling¡¯s voice appeared. ¡°President, there is a video that is unfavorable to the university on the Internet.¡± Everything on the internet was under Lingling¡¯s surveillance. Once something unfavorable to Kasage University appeared, he would immediately remind Lex. When Lex heard Lingling¡¯s words, he was immediately surprised. ¡°Show me the video.¡± Lingling immediately found the video that Peter had uploaded. Soon, the video appeared in front of Lex¡¯s eyes. After watching it, Lex¡¯s expression turned cold. It was obvious that someone was targeting Kasage University. And this person had deep malice. ¡°Find the address of this video.¡± Lex said to Lingling. Lex had to investigate the person who was trying to harm Kasage University¡¯s reputation. With Lingling¡¯s speed, he quickly found the address. This address was exactly where Saint University was. And it was in the dormitory building. Lingling looked up the system of the dormitory building. He found the specific information. Within two minutes, Peter¡¯s information appeared in front of Lex¡¯s eyes. ¡°It¡¯s actually him?¡± Looking at the photo sent by Lingling, Lex was a little surprised. He might have forgotten about Peter? He had always been showing off in front of him. Lex did not expect him to come and find trouble with him. ¡°Principal, do we need to deal with the video?¡± Lingling asked again. ¡°No need!¡± Lex did not allowed Lingling to deal with the video. He had other reasons for keeping the video. The matter of the e-sports class would be exposed sooner or later. Even if they managed to hide it from the world this time, there would definitely be a second time. Moreover, this was also a test for the esports class. This was something that they would have to face sooner or later. As long as they could pass this test, the esports class would definitely go further in the future. Lex did not care, but someone did. Moreover, they were students of the Kasage University. Karami was looking at his phone because he was afraid. This video was already popular on the internet. He could easily see it. After watching the video, a cautious look appeared on Karami¡¯s face. Obviously, this video was released to harm Kasage University. As a student of Kasage University, he couldn¡¯t ignore it. Over the past month, he had already liked this life. If Kasage University was closed because of this, he would have to go back to his old life. So he had to solve this problem for the university. He was a hacker, and he was very good at doing things on the Internet. Moreover, he wasn¡¯t alone. There was also a team behind him. After a month of training, these students had already grasped a certain level of skills. Although it wasn¡¯t much, it could still be of some help. At this moment, Karami stood up. ¡°Listen up, someone is harming the reputation of our school. Now is the time for us to take action.¡± Hearing Karami¡¯s words, dozens of students stopped what they were doing. ¡°Who is harming our school? We are hacking his computer.¡± A student stood up. The other students did the same. They were filled with righteous indignation. Kasage University gave them a strong sense of belonging. They didn¡¯t want to give up the happy time here. Discrediting the school was equivalent to becoming their enemy. Kasage¡¯s Battle Team also started their first online challenge. Karami looked at the excited team members and a smile appeared on his face. ¡°Everyone, be quiet. We will start assigning tasks now.¡± The video had already spread on the internet and couldn¡¯t be delayed any longer. If it was really seen by the parents, then it would really be too late. Everyone knew the seriousness of this matter. Hence, they started to prepare. The students sat in front of their computer, waiting for Karami to give out the instructions. When everyone was ready, Karami started to give out the instructions. ¡°I¡¯ll send you a video.¡± ¡°After that, we¡¯ll hack into various websites and delete the same video.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take care of the big websites. You guys take care of the small websites.¡± Karami knew that the principal¡¯s network was very fast. With their strength, it was possible for them to completely delete the video. This would also reduce the exposure of the video. After that, everyone started to take action. Chapter 26 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The less skilled students broke into small sites, while the more skilled students broke into large sites. Their division of duty was very clear. Soon, the number of online videos began to decrease. Many netizens just wanted to open it and watch it once. But soon, they couldn¡¯t find the video easily. The angriest one was Peter. He just wanted to see how the video he posted was doing. But when he opened it, he found that it was gone. What it showed was that it had been deleted from the background. Peter was furious. He called customer service directly to complain. He couldn¡¯t watch his plan, which was about to succeed, be sabotaged. Customer service received the call and arranged for a technical inquiry on the matter. It didn¡¯t take long for the technical staff to discover that it had been hacked. Not only this website, but other large websites also reacted. Every website had its own technical staff. The abilities of these technical staff were not inferior to that of a hacker. Thus, they began to trace the address of the intruder. The principal already knew that Karami had brought his team members to delete the video. Just as they were about to act, Lingling had already reported this matter to the principal at the first moment. Karami then took up the name of the computer course and formed his own hacking team. The principal had already known about it. However, he did not ask about it. As long as Karami did not commit crimes, what could he do if he became a hacker? 5 Similarly, this was also considered a skill. However, Lex could not not ask about this matter now. These students were still newbies. Their skills were not good enough. Such a rash action would easily be discovered by others. Hacking into the website was a crime. However, they were also doing it for the sake of learning, so Lex could not say much. It seemed like she would have to talk to Karami soon. 2 For now, it was better to solve the problem of the students. ¡°Lingling, cover the traces of the students hacking into the website.¡± This matter couldn¡¯t be any simpler for Lingling. Lingling¡¯s technology was ahead of this era. Covering the traces was just a piece of cake. With Lingling¡¯s addition, the major websites couldn¡¯t find any traces of hacking at all. At this moment, Karami¡¯s computer suddenly went dark. A line of words appeared on it. ¡°You don¡¯t have to interfere in this matter.¡± And left his signature. The president of Kasage University. Looking at his computer, Karami was stunned. His computer was hacked? As a hacker, he was actually hacked without any defense. This made him very shocked. At the same time, it also made him understand one thing. The president¡¯s hacking ability was far beyond his own. However, there was another thing that Karami couldn¡¯t understand. Since the principal¡¯s skills were already so high, why didn¡¯t he care about the online matters? If he couldn¡¯t figure it out, he might as well not think about it. If the principal didn¡¯t care about this matter, it meant that the principal already had a plan in mind. As long as the school was fine, it wouldn¡¯t matter. But how could he know? His actions had almost harmed dozens of students. Karami told everyone to stop and then dispersed. At this moment, another message appeared on his computer. ¡°Don¡¯t do it again!¡± This was the principal¡¯s warning to him. Karami frowned when he saw this sentence and began to think about the principal¡¯s meaning. Very soon, he thought of it. He felt a lingering fear in his heart. He was still too impulsive. He was very grateful to the principal. If not for the principal¡¯s reminder, he might have already been captured. Without the intervention of outsiders, the video was spread again. In a villa. A woman who looked to be in her thirties ran to her husband with her phone. ¡°Hubby, look, something happened to our son in college.¡± The middle-aged man who was reading a document took the phone from the woman curiously. When he finished reading the title, he frowned. They were Edward¡¯s parents. They were very happy that their son finally went to college. Now that something happened to the school, they were worried. So they opened the video and saw the students playing video games in class. And he saw a familiar figure. It was their son, Edward. Their son was playing games in the university? And there was no teacher to stop him? The couple was completely furious. They had sent their son to the university so that he could get rid of his habit of playing video games. But now, instead of breaking his habit, it had become worse. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the school now and take a look.¡± Edward¡¯s father said angrily. After saying that, the couple drove out of the house without stopping. At the same time, another couple saw the video. They were Conan¡¯s parents Conan was able to get into a university, which made them very proud. But they did not expect him to be playing video games in college. Just playing video games, even if he graduated, what good would he do? In the end, it would only make the child¡¯s life worse. They absolutely could not condone this matter. They had to go to school and demand an explanation. Therefore, they also felt that Kasage University. Other than these two families, the other children were also worried about their children. 3 Even if their children did not appear in the video, they were also very worried. They could only be at ease when they saw their own children. At this time, there were already people who were on their way to Kasage University. If the parents appeared, Kasage University would definitely be in the news. It would even alert the relevant departments. The next day, the sky was filled with dark clouds. Lex stood in the office on the top floor of the alchemy building and looked at the sky outside. His mood was a little heavy. He already had a feeling that a storm was coming. The video had already been broadcast for a day. It must have been seen by many parents. At this time, the parents would definitely not ignore it. They would definitely find their way to the school. The parents were not the only ones who had to pass the esports class. Kasage University had to pass as well. Unlike the way of teaching in this world, Kasage University was definitely full of doubts. This was something that would happen sooner or later. Just as Lex was thinking, rows of cars appeared at the entrance of Kasage University. Then, Lex saw the angry parents getting out of the cars. Soon, dozens of parents gathered together. Things were not over yet. Behind the parents, there were reporters with microphones and cameras. When it came to education, it was bound to attract the attention of society. It was also the reporters¡¯ favorite Hot Topic. Chapter 27 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Parents came to visit Kasage University, so the reporters naturally wouldn¡¯t let go of this good opportunity. Meanwhile, Lex had been staring at the school gate for a long time. He was waiting for the parents to come. When the parents saw the reporters, they felt even more confident. Thus, dozens of people walked towards Kasage University. Just as they reached the gate, they saw the gate slowly open. Monica walked out from the Kasage University and greeted the parents. ¡°Hello, parents. We already know why you are here. Please follow me.¡± Before the parents could speak, Monica directly asked them to follow her. Then, she brought the parents to a conference room in a teaching building. As soon as the parents sat down, someone couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Teachers, I came to visit the principal. Why is my child playing video games in class without anyone taking care of him?¡± ¡°Is this how your school educates students?¡± After someone finished speaking, Monica¡¯s expression remained calm, as if she hadn¡¯t heard anything. She waved at someone in front of the conference room. In the next moment, she saw a screen in front of her. After she played a video on the screen, Monica walked out directly. The parents didn¡¯t stop her. They were now attracted by the content playing on the screen. Because they saw their children on the screen. The screen was playing the video of the esports class. Edward¡¯s parents saw Edward. Yes, it was their son. At this time, the esports class was not playing video games, but instead they were discussing tactics. Edward was at the front leading the team. There was no stage fright. He was introducing his latest tactics and new training plans to his team members. Looking at their son, Edward¡¯s parents were very surprised. They had never seen this side of their son. Now, Edward¡¯s face was full of confidence and boldness. He even gave off an aura of a manager. He was now a completely different person from what he used to. When Edward was at home, he always looked lazy. He didn¡¯t want to do anything and only played games every day. He rarely spoke to his parents. His parents also never knew that their son had such a good leadership skill. They didn¡¯t know what Edward was talking about, but he seemed clear and convincing. Was he really their son? Edward¡¯s parents recognized the change in their son. It wasn¡¯t bad, but rather it was good. What was going on? Weren¡¯t they playing video games in class? They didn¡¯t understand. They weren¡¯t the only ones confused. Conan¡¯s parents were too. After Edward finished speaking, Conan went on stage to continue where Edward left off. As for management, Conan couldn¡¯t do it. But in games, he was very conscious. He could easily see a flaw in a tactic, and then fix the whole thing. That was the point of each of them. With Edward¡¯s cooperation, the two of them could come up with a perfect tactic. Seeing Conan¡¯s confident appearance on the stage, his parents couldn¡¯t believe it. They knew their son¡¯s character best. Not to mention standing on the stage, even if they saw a stranger say something, they would lower their heads. This was all because of Conan¡¯s inferiority complex. However, the current Conan was like a completely different person. The inferiority complex of Conan had disappeared. Instead, he had become a confident and bright Conan. ¡°Is this really our son?¡± Conan¡¯s father looked at Conan on the screen with shock in his eyes. He had been in university for only about a month, yet there was such a huge change in his personality. Not only was it transparent, but when they saw their children develop, the other parents were also surprised. These students had all changed greatly. There was no sign of them being addicted to games at all. Instead, they were motivated and worked hard towards their set goals. Not long after, the screen darkened. A young man walked in. It was the president of Kasage University, Lex. Lex was on stage, looking down at the parents who were still in shock. ¡°Hello everyone, I am the principal of Kasage University, Lex.¡± Lex introduced himself to the parents. When the parents heard what Lex said, they were all very surprised. The president was actually so young? This was completely different from what they had thought. The ones who were surprised were not only the parents, but also the reporters. They all aimed their cameras at Lex. Such a young principal was the first in the world. ¡°Everyone knows the reason why I am here. You must have seen the video of the students playing games.¡± ¡°That is indeed true.¡± ¡°But what I want you know is that they are not slacking off. They are learning.¡± Lex said loudly, and everyone in the room could hear it. Playing video games was learning? How was that possible? Nobody was willing to believe Lex¡¯s words. However, they did not refute his words. Instead, they waited for Lex to continue. They had seen the changes in their children. ¡°The reason why they have to go to class and play games is because they are studying esports.¡± This was the first time that Lex had mentioned esports in front of outsiders. Esports? Was there such a major in the world? No one in the country had ever heard of such a major. ¡°Esports? Can playing video games also become a major?¡± A parent raised his doubts. This matter was already very different from what they knew. What kind of future could playing video games have? Chapter 28 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation All the parents looked at Lex at this moment. They were also waiting for his answer. ¡°You must have a future in your hearts. You feel that playing video games has no future.¡± ¡°However, our school¡¯s esports is not only about playing video games, but it¡¯s also a sport.¡± ¡°Just like playing basketball, you can become a professional esports player.¡± Lex explained. ¡°A professional esports player?¡± This made the parents even more confused. ¡°Is esports that good?¡± Edward¡¯s father was very skeptical. Besides wasting time and money, he couldn¡¯t think of any benefits from playing video games. ¡°Esports focuses on the ability to think, react, coordinate the mind and limbs, to see the big picture, to have willpower, and to be a team player.¡± ¡°As for some netizens, they can gain an advantage just by charging money. This is the biggest difference between esports and other online games.¡± ¡°You are only confusing gaming and esports.¡± ¡°You have all seen the scene just now. Esports is not completely useless. You can naturally judge it.¡± Lex recounted all the advantages of e-sports. After hearing his words, all the parents fell silent. They were thinking if e-sports was really as good as what Lex said. After all, before this, they did not even know the concept of e-sports. In fact, the entire world did not even know the concept of e-sports. Kasage University was the first to establish the e-sports major. ¡°I also know the worries in your hearts. After all, this major is hard to accept.¡± ¡°Your children are now equivalent to starting a business.¡± ¡°As long as they succeed in starting a business, they will be able to create a new era.¡± ¡°And they will also become the guides of this era.¡± ¡°As for how they decide, that will all depend on you.¡± ¡°Now, you can make your children better than they are now. I respect your choice.¡± After Lex finished speaking, he left the meeting room. He had already finished speaking. The rest would depend on the parents¡¯ decisions. At the same time, he knew that the term ¡®esports¡¯ would definitely become popular. The people who truly loved esports games were not just the few dozen people at Kasage University. There were no less than ten million people who had given up on their dreams because of society¡¯s disapproval. One could imagine how many people would support esports if it became popular? After Lex left, the parents were caught in a dilemma. Esports was a major that was difficult for them to accept. However, they could see the changes in their children. If they chose to stop it, the children would return to their previous state. They might as well be like this. At the very least, they could see confidence and ambition on their faces. This matter was also related to the children¡¯s future. It was a very difficult decision for the parents to make. Because this was a path that no one had walked before. They also didn¡¯t think that their children could do it. They didn¡¯t do well in the college entrance exam, let alone creating an era? At this time, Monica walked in. ¡°Parents, you can go and see your children now.¡± This kind of important life event wasn¡¯t something that parents could decide on their own. 2 They still had to listen to the children¡¯s choices. Because this was also their life, they had the right to make their own choices. Soon, the parents arrived at the esports class. The children who were in the middle of a heated discussion stopped. They suddenly saw their parents arrive and were a little surprised. 1 ¡°Mom and dad?¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± Edward was the first to walk in front of his parents. The other students did the same. Seeing so many parents, Edward knew what it was. He guessed why his parents were here. ¡°Dad, Mom, are you here to cause trouble for the school because of the video?¡± Edward had an impression of the video. But because of the esports class, he did not have the energy to pay attention to it. The students also didn¡¯t expect it to alarm their parents. At this time, they were also worried. The parents had found the school. Would it affect the esports class after they finally found the goal? Edward didn¡¯t want this to end. Esports was their dream, and it was possible for their dream to come true. They had the motivation. If their dreams were to be shattered right here, they would definitely have to return to their muddled lives. ¡°Son, do you really think that you can go on like that forever?¡± Edward¡¯s father asked his son seriously. He could still maintain his rationality and ask for Edward¡¯s opinion. He knew that if he were to forcefully decide on this matter, he would only destroy his own child. ¡°Dad, in the past few years, I¡¯ve been living in a daze.¡± ¡°In the game, I can obtain happiness, but I can¡¯t get your support.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the esports major that gave me a goal, letting me know what I should do.¡± ¡°Although this path is hard to walk, and I might even be looked down upon by everyone, I still decided to walk down it myself.¡± ¡°Even if in the end, I might fail, I won¡¯t regret it ¡°Because in this world, I¡¯ve been here, I¡¯ve fought, so I won¡¯t regret it!¡± Edward¡¯s gaze was very determined. From his gaze, one could see a kind of persistence. One could see that he had a sincere heart to pursue his dream. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll support you!¡± Edward¡¯s father said happily. He was happy that his son could find his own goal. Everyone had their own dreams. Edward¡¯s father was the same. But the reality of life made him give up. He had no reason to stop his son from realizing his dream. ¡°Thank you for your support, Father!¡± To be able to get his father¡¯s support, Edward was very touched. His eyes were a little red and he wanted to cry. Ever since he was young, this was the first time he had received his father¡¯s support. ¡°Dad, I want to go down and prove that I¡¯m not a useless person!¡± Chapter 29 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation No one in the esports class backed down. No matter how difficult it was, they decided to fight for it. Seeing their children, many of the parents present were moved. They knew that their children had grown up. Without any parents to stop them, even if they failed in the end, this was still a heresy worth remembering. 3 The matter of the video was resolved. Such a touching scene also made the reporters very excited. The whole process was recorded in their cameras. They believe that this incident would be the headlines of tomorrow. At the same time, it would also become a hot topic. That was the esports major. The parents left as quickly as they came. They did not stay at Kasage University for long. Regarding the game, no one had any complaints. Instead of finding trouble with Kasage University, parents were grateful. Kasage University allowed their children to go to college, and there was such a big change in them. No other university could do this. Every parent knew this very well. The video thing was over. The parents left too. Lex saw the attitude of these students and was very pleased. He had done all this for the students and it had not been in vain. After this, the students would persevere through any difficulties in the future. On the second day after the parents left, there was a report about what had happened at Kasage University. It was also reported on all the major websites. The matter itself caused a great sensation, and then there was a follow-up. Naturally, the attention was very high. So Kasage University once again made the headlines, and it went viral on the internet. In the dorm at Saint University. Peter looked at the headlines on his phone, and a smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, just as he thought, the parents would definitely go to the school. To his surprise, there were even reporters following them. As long as there were reporters, as long as Kasage University had any shortcomings, they would definitely be caught. The power of the internet was very terrifying, enough to bring Kasage University down. Since things had developed to this point, the relevant departments couldn¡¯t just ignore it. Kasage University would definitely not have an easy time in the future. But after reading the entire report, Peter was dumbfounded. Because there wasn¡¯t a single bad comment about Kasage University in the entire report. All the topics revolved around this matter. Esports. This was a word that everyone felt was unfamiliar. It was completely different from what Peter had thought. So he started to watch the video that the reporter had shot. After watching it, Peter was dumbfounded. ¡®There is a major in video games in this world?¡¯ ¡®Never thought that there was such a major.¡¯ ¡®And parents approved of their children to study this major.¡¯ ¡®Are parents crazy?¡¯ How could they believe this? Peter was very angry. Not only did they not make things difficult for Kasage University, but they also promoted Kasage University. The parents didn¡¯t have any opinions, so it was even more difficult for the others to say anything. The power of the Education Department to intervene. As these reports came out, the whole Internet changed direction. All the people talked about esports. These people had two main opinions. One was against the emergence of esports, and the other was neutral. There were very few people who supported it, because it was a thing that went against everyone¡¯s ideas. People who didn¡¯t like competitive games would only judge. But for those who really liked competitive games, it was a hope. A hope that they could fulfill their dreams. Many people¡¯s dreams had been killed by this world. The emergence of esports gave them another way out. Edward¡¯s words rekindled the passion in their hearts. ¡®Have a dream to achieve, even if the final is failure, it will not let their lives regret.¡¯ So thousands of people had esports dream. In a dilapidated internet cafe. A man sent away the last customer to surf the internet. Then he took out his cell phone to watch the news. He then clicked on the news. At first, he didn¡¯t feel anything special. But after he typed the word ¡°Computer esports,¡± his body trembled with excitement. He kept saying something. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you show up earlier?¡± This sentence could clarify his helplessness and disappointment. The man¡¯s name was Carter. Now he was thirty years old. He liked video games since he was young, and he often went to internet cafes. Later, he didn¡¯t get into university, so he went out to work. But for competitive games, his love had never decreased. After working for a few years, he earned some money and opened an internet cafe. It was so that he could continue his competitive dream. But even so, what could he do? Competitive games could only be his hobby. There was no other way to go. But the word ¡°Esports¡± showed a way for the fans of competitive games. 1 Carter said this because he missed the era of esports. He couldn¡¯t take the road of esports like a young man. After a while, he recovered. Carter had thought it through. Since he couldn¡¯t walk on the path of esports, he had to do something for the career of esports. Even if it was just doing his best. In another key university in the city A student in the male dormitory was frantically typing on the keyboard in his hand. He was playing a MOBA game. At this moment, his phone beside him rang. ¡°Hello, who are you?¡± The male student picked up the phone and asked impatiently. This was a call at a crucial moment. Anyone would be in a bad mood. ¡°I¡¯ve sent you a news link. Take a look.¡± A young voice appeared from the receiver of the phone. After the male student hung up, he opened the link. When he finished reading, his eyes were bright. Esports! It was a strange word. But it touched him a lot. Wasn¡¯t this the hope he was looking for? Chapter 30 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation MOBA games company. Although this competitive game had a name, the company was not very big. There was only a small place in an office building. In the domestic market, no game company could be popular. This was because of the limitations of traditional thinking, making it difficult for competitive games to develop. In the office of the company¡¯s boss. A 28-year-old man was sitting in the office. One could see the fatigue on his face. The man¡¯s name was Karan, the boss of the company. 2 There were only two people in the company now. It was very tiring for two people to maintain a game company. MOBA company was originally founded by five people. The five of them were very good friends and teammates. They used to fight in the competitive world together. Later they built the company for their dreams. They wanted to make a better competitive game. But the reality was cruel. Faced with great pressure, they had to give up. Three of the five people left, only two people were still struggling. If it wasn¡¯t for his dreams, Karan would have given up long ago. At this moment, Hart walked in excitedly. ¡°Quick, read this report!¡± Hart placed his phone in front of Karan. Karan was very curious when he saw Hart¡¯s excited look. Ever since the three brothers had left for a while, he had never seen Hart so happy. Karan picked up his phone and read the report. A few minutes later, crane was excited. All he saw was the report on esports. He hadn¡¯t been excited for years. But what Lex had said about esports gave them hope for the rise of competitive games. It gave them a way out when they were about to give up. They believed that the era of esports was coming. A long-lost smile appeared on Karan¡¯s face. They created esports games, but there was no way to make my esports games popular. 2 They had made a lot of efforts and thought of a lot of ways. But they had failed. Because they had not fundamentally solved the problem. The proposal of esports was different. This was a topic that could completely change people¡¯s views. Esports was not a game, but a sport. Just like basketball and football. Only by making some achievements in esports could people accept esports. This sentence was equivalent to saving the entire competitive gaming industry. ¡°Our persistence is finally bearing fruit!¡± Hart also laughed, but at the same time, his eyes were already red. After enduring for so long, he finally saw hope. Suddenly. A notification suddenly popped up on Karan¡¯s computer. This was a notification of a good friend coming online. Karan took a look at the computer and was completely stunned. He actually saw this person coming online. This person was one of the five partners they had back then. The five of them were very close. Karan was the oldest, so he was the boss. Hart was the youngest. Since the three of them left, they never went online again. For years, they never went online. But Karan never forgot them and set up an online reminder. He didn¡¯t expect them to come online today. When the three of them left. They also went down for a long time. But the relationship between the five of them was very deep. When one of the ex-partners came online, he didn¡¯t send any messages. Instead, he sent an invitation to a game. It was the game that brought them together, so this was the best way for them to communicate, which was the game. Three out of five people went online again. Just as the three of them were about to start the game. The other two notifications also appeared. The second and fourth ex-partners went online and joined the team. They looked at the computer screen and almost cried. The five people gathered again. 1 In a rental house not far from the company, a young man looked at the screen and cried. He was one of the five partners. Today, he also read the report. When he saw a group of college students who were determined to pursue their dreams,. It made him feel very touched. He didn¡¯t know why, but he instinctively clicked on the game. The other two also did the same. They were influenced by the report. The five all started the game. But they lost. All five of them hadn¡¯t played the game like this for years. They didn¡¯t have time to play the game at all. When they saw the sign of failure on the screen, they didn¡¯t feel sad at all. Instead, they were very happy. At this moment, they all got back the feeling they had before. Memories kept flowing out of their minds. Then, the five of them started playing a few more games. In the end, there were winners and losers. But their hearts came back again. All of them came back. Three hours later, their game ended. Karan opened his contacts and found their contact information. After hesitating, he sent a message. ¡°Come back.¡± Then he sent it to the other three. A few minutes later, Karan¡¯s phone rang. Everyone¡¯s reply was only one word. ¡°Okay!¡± There were no words between brothers, because they didn¡¯t need to be so powerless. If they wanted to come back, one word was enough. The five brothers gathered again. In the glorious era of esports, they had a place. They weren¡¯t the only ones who insisted on playing esports. Tens of thousands of people had been touched by the esports reports. The era of esports was not a matter of one person. It needed the support and participation of tens of millions of esports fans. Only in this way could esports develop as quickly as possible. Only in this way could more people feel the beauty of esports. These reports were the beginning of the era of esports. Chapter 31 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As the major websites reported, the concept of e-sports was generally understood by everyone. The number of curses and negative comments on the internet also decreased by a lot. This also meant that some people had slowly begun accepting it. It had to be said that this was a very good phenomenon. On this day, a boy with a suitcase walked into Kasage University. The boy was instantly affected by the atmosphere of Kasage University. It was completely different from other universities. Other universities could be said to be lifeless. Students just read for the sake of graduating. They had no passion at all. The boy finally knew that Kasage University would have an esports major. So this university gave him a different feeling. However, he knew that he would have to fulfill his dream here in the future. Soon, he walked towards the principal¡¯s office. Now, Lex¡¯s office was no longer a secret. Almost all the students at Kasage University knew about it. As long as he asked around, he would know where the principal¡¯s office was. Soon, the boy arrived at the highest floor of the alchemy building. It was the principal¡¯s office. When he reached the door, the door opened automatically. At this time, a voice came from inside. ¡°Come in.¡± The boy was stunned and then walked in. Soon, he saw the principal of Kasage University, Lex. ¡°Your name is Brown?¡± 2 Lex asked the boy solemnly. This boy was called Brown who had transferred from another school. Yesterday, Lex received a transfer application. In the application, his name was mentioned. He wanted to come to pursue his dream of esports. Seeing the application, Lex thought the boy was interesting. So, he looked up Brown¡¯s information and found that Brown was transferred from Harvard. 2 To be able to transfer from Harvard to Kasage University, he must have made a lot of determination. 2 Lex also discovered another piece of information. Brown was actually the strongest player in the MOBA game. He was like a god in the game. He could be qualified for any position. He could be said to be an all-rounder player. He was ridiculously strong at every position he played. Moreover, he was best at formulating tactics. He had a very strong ability to study the game. The game company had specially made a lot of game updates for him. It could be seen that his ability was very strong. His game name was also Brown. Because his tactics were too advanced, everyone called him ¡®Brown from the future¡¯. 1 ¡°Hello, Principal!¡± Brown greeted Lex respectfully. In order to enter Kasage University, he did not leave any way out for himself. He did not have the backup of Harvard University. If he could not join Kasage University, he would not be able to go back to Harvard. It was also complicated to explain to his parents about the transfer of colleges. There was a fight between them and Brown¡¯s parents criticized him for being reckless. Leaving a famous university like Harvard and going to a new one without any achievements. This made Brown¡¯s parents very confused. His father had already said that. If Brown transferred to another college, the family would not pay a single penny. But Brown still insisted on doing so. So he packed his things that day and came over to Kasage University. Finally, it was this day. Brown met the legendary president of Kasage University. Mr. Lex. ¡°Why did you transfer to Kasage University?¡± Lex asked Brown. Although Brown was an esports talent, he could not transfer to Kasage University casually. ¡°Because I have a love for esports. This is about my dream.¡± Brown said firmly. Lex did not say anything. He simply looked at Brown. He saw sincerity and expectation in Brown¡¯s eyes. Brown was agitated at this moment. He did not know if he could get into Kasage University. ¡°Alright, I agree to your transfer to Kasage University.¡± However, Lex agreed to Brown¡¯s application. He did not want to reject such a student who could stand for his dream. Moreover, he was such a talented person. ¡°Thank you, thank you, Principal!¡± Brown was very excited, and his heart was filled with gratitude. Following that, Lex sent Brown a verification message and allocated him a dormitory. Brown came to the dormitory building and found his own dormitory. He put down his things and walked towards the alchemy building. He could not wait for the esports class. Ten minutes later, Brown arrived at the esports class training room. At this moment, the Kasage Battle Team members were undergoing intense training. Brown watched from the side for a while, and he was so excited that he got goosebumps all over. He wished that he could join the training. At this moment, Edward had already noticed Brown. Thus, he walked over to Brown. ¡°Student, what do you want?¡± As the captain, Edward naturally had to be responsible for these matters. ¡°Hello, Senior. My name is Brown. I just transferred to Kasage University today and will be a member of the esports class from now on.¡± Brown said very politely. Transferred today? And a new member? Edward was a little perplexed. There was actually someone who transferred colleges to take up esports major? When they heard that a new member had joined, the other team members all stopped what they were doing. ¡°Classmate, what university did you transfer from?¡± A teammate asked curiously. ¡°Harvard University!¡± Brown smiled slightly and did not hide anything. Hearing his answer, the others were silent. Harvard University was a famous university that was recognized all over the world. They did not expect Brown to transfer from Harvard University. The students in the esports class were all poor students who could not even get into a university. Not to mention a world-renowned university like Harvard. Just this alone was enough to make all the students admire him. ¡°We have a rule here. First, you introduce your game name and occupation.¡± Edward said to Brown. Introduce the game name and occupation? This still made Brown feel a little surprised. There were so many strange rules, but he didn¡¯t really care. ¡°My game name is Brown, can play anything occupation.¡± 1 Chapter 32 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When they heard Brown¡¯s name, the Kasage Battle Team members were all shocked. ¡°You¡¯re the ¡®Brown from the future¡¯? The all-rounded Brown who has advanced tactics?¡± ¡°Mr. Brown, I didn¡¯t expect it to really be you!¡± ¡°God Brown, I admire you the most! I¡¯ve also seen your many amazing moves!¡± Everyone who had played MOBA games before was familiar with the name Brown. 1 They were very excited that Brown could join their team. ¡°Alright, everyone, welcome the newcomer! Brown!¡± Edward calmed down everyone who was excited. Actually, he was also very excited. He was very clear about Brown¡¯s strength. Now that Brown had joined, he had more confidence for the future. Brown quickly integrated into the esports class. He was a good communicator, and with his skills, the esports class would thrive. Edward arranged a position for Brown and told him about the training plan and some of the goals. During this time, Edward also fought with Brown. The players finally witnessed Brown¡¯s true strength. Other than wizards and few other classes, Edward simply could not dominate. After all, Edward was specialized in magic. In the blink of an eye, a week¡¯s time passed. The esports class held a meeting once a week, the purpose was to discuss the next development. And new tactical research and approach. Everyone spoke at the meeting. The esports class was their first attempt, they must speak carefully. This way, they wouldn¡¯t go down the wrong path. Today was the meeting time of the esports class. All the team members entered a meeting room. Brown was naturally one of them. Edward was presiding on the stage. ¡°Today is the meeting time. Through this period of training, everyone¡¯s strength has greatly improved.¡± ¡°As for what¡¯s going to happen next, everyone can speak out and discuss.¡± He walked off the stage and sat back in his seat. Soon, someone came up to the stage and expressed his opinion. However, it was just a small matter. It was not very helpful to the development of the esports class. ¡°Brown, what do you think?¡± Edward looked at Brown, wanting to hear his opinion. Over the past week, Brown had put forward many useful opinions. Especially in terms of tactics, he had displayed his talent. It had raised the level of cooperation between the members. Since Edward had already asked him, Brown no longer hesitated. ¡°I¡¯m just a newbie. I don¡¯t know much about esports. I¡¯ll just give some of my opinions.¡± ¡°Our team¡¯s strength is enough now. Next, we should expand our influence.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s just within the school, we¡¯ll always be stuck in the same spot.¡± Brown voiced his thoughts. Hearing his opinion, all the team members fell into deep thought. ¡°That¡¯s right. Brown is right. It¡¯s time for us to take another step.¡± Edward had already thought of this point. It was just that he had yet to think of how to take this step. This step was very crucial, and he could not afford to make any mistakes. ¡°Brown, how do you expand your influence? Do you have any ideas?¡± Edward wanted to hear Brown¡¯s opinion. ¡°We can organize a high school e-sports competition, and invite e-sports enthusiasts from other schools to participate.¡± ¡°We can also set up an award, and it will definitely attract many people to participate.¡± Brown spoke his thoughts out loud. Only by using competitions would people see the benefits of e-sports. This was Brown¡¯s idea. When Edward heard it, his eyes immediately lit up. He had fallen into a misunderstanding and had forgotten the most basic thing about e-sports. ¡°Good, it¡¯s indeed a good idea. What opinions do the others have?¡± Edward asked the other team members. He still needed to listen to everyone¡¯s opinions on this matter. No one had any opinions. Instead, they were a little excited. Their value could only be reflected on the esports arena. ¡°Since no one has any opinions, I will go and apply to the principal now.¡± After Edward finished speaking, he left the conference room without any hesitation. He couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Not long after, Edward saw Lex. He told him about the campus e-sports event. After Lex heard it, he didn¡¯t object, so he directly agreed to Edward¡¯s idea. At the same time, he decided that the school would give out the prize this time, and gave Edward 100,000 dollars in funding. 3 After receiving the school¡¯s strong support, Edward was very excited. He had thought that it would take a lot of trouble, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly. The principal also approved so much funding for him, which made Edward very surprised. Through this matter, he could feel the president¡¯s support for the esports career. This made Edward very touched. The university esports competition was approved. The entire campus was lively again. Kasage University was like this. If the major had something to do, the other students would help. This made the esports students feel the warmth of the school again. Especially Brown, who had just arrived, saw the unity of Kasage University. The whole campus worked together. Soon, an esports competition venue was set up. This time, the competition would be bigger, so the venue was chosen in the stadium. The Art and design students helped design, and the sports majors helped decorate. They were going to invite more than one school. They were going to invite esports fans from all the colleges and universities in the country. It was unrealistic to go to every school. They were going to promote it on the internet. It was the only way to spread it all over the country. Edward knew it was important, so he left the promotion to the music majors and asked them to join some programs. The music major spent the night writing a song for the esports competition. Edward couldn¡¯t refuse, so he agreed. Almost all the majors at Kasage University were involved. Chapter 33 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The power of Kasage University was once again unleashed. In just one day, the esports competition was settled. The publicity was also in place. The official Kasage University website promotion, which was allowed by Lex. Then, a registration website was set up. Through hacking skills, the website was sent to the groups of various universities. The reward for winning this esports competition was very high. And it was an esports competition. As long as people saw this website, they would all be attracted. In a short time, the news of the esports competition spread among colleges and universities all over the country. Countless esports fans began to pay attention to this matter, including groups of famous colleges and universities! At this time, a link suddenly appeared in the group. So someone clicked on the link. After clicking on it, an attractive-looking page appeared in front of the boy. Interschool e-sports competition? Seeing the e-sports competition, Wells was immediately interested. He was an e-sports fan and had a great interest in competitive games. After he finished watching, he found out that it was actually a competition organized by Kasage University. And there was a generous reward. Wells was immediately tempted. Not only could he play games, but he could also win prizes. How could he let such a good opportunity go? However, this competition was not an individual competition, but a team competition. Five people had to participate. So he began to summon his teammates. As an esports enthusiast, how could he not have his own team. Wells sent the link to a few of his teammates. In less than a minute, someone called. ¡°Wells, is this competition real?¡± A young voice came from the phone. This competition gave them an unreal feeling. Not to mention the generous prizes, but this kind of competition had never appeared in China. 8 ¡°I¡¯m not sure yet. Let¡¯s wait until we meet.¡± Wells was not very sure either. Until now, he was in a confused state. What he wanted to do now was to set up a meeting with a few of his teammates. Just as he ended the call, another teammate called. Wells explained and then set up a meeting with his teammates. Immediately afterwards, his teammates called one by one. In the end, the five of them arranged to meet. After deciding on the location, Wells rushed to the agreed location. On the way, Wells suddenly heard a few girls talking. ¡°Kasage University next door seems to be holding an event again. The whole school is busy.¡± ¡°I went to see it. It seems to be holding some competition. It¡¯s quite a big event.¡± ¡°I must go and see it when the time comes. It will be very interesting.¡± After hearing these words, Wells was excited. This matter was actually true. Kasage University was really going to hold a interschool e-sports competition. Wells quickened his pace. He could not wait to tell this news to his teammates. Ten minutes later, the five of them met at the agreed location. Before they could say anything, Wells told them about this matter. After confirming that the match was real, the five of them couldn¡¯t wait any longer. Thus, they directly opened the link and chose to register on the website. In the dormitory! The five boys were excitedly playing games. The entire dormitory was filled with their shouts. ¡°Yeah, we won again. The controls just now were really amazing.¡± The five of them stopped, their faces full of happiness. At this moment, one of the boys stood up excitedly. ¡°Big Brother, what do you think this is?¡± The boy placed the phone in front of a thin man. The man¡¯s appearance did not match his name at all. But this big brother had the highest control among the five people. He could be ranked in the entire server. His name was Robbin, and he was an esports enthusiast. Robbin took the phone and looked at the content. After reading it, Robbin¡¯s expression turned serious. ¡°Is this true?¡± Robbin asked the boy. ¡°It should be true. Many people have already signed up.¡± The boy had only seen it in the group, and someone was discussing this matter. He casually clicked on the link. And that was what he saw. ¡°We¡¯ll sign up too.¡± Robbin immediately made a decision. He couldn¡¯t let go of this opportunity. Even if he couldn¡¯t win in the end, fighting with some experts wasn¡¯t any bad either, and it could be considered a win-win situation for him. ¡°Okay, we can go meet those experts.¡± Robbin¡¯s teammates were all very excited. Then, they signed up on the website. The interschool esports competition was spreading very rapidly now. It was not only spreading among the colleges, but it gradually spread to the societies as well. So the interschool esports competition became increasingly popular. All the esports fans were excited. The link about the sign-up website had been forwarded millions of times on the Internet. This was the esports fans¡¯ support for esports. If they couldn¡¯t participate in the competition, they could only promote it. It was also a contribution to their own strength. The owner of the Internet cafe looked at his cell phone in disappointment. It was the first esports competition in the country, but unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t participate. He was just disappointed for a while, then he ran out of the Internet cafe directly. Half an hour later, he ran back with a poster in his hand. It was the poster of the registration website. He put the poster in the most conspicuous place in the lobby of the Internet Cafe. As soon as he entered the Internet Cafe, he could see the poster. It was also a contribution to the promotion of the competition. After doing all this, he started to buy tickets. This competition must be very exciting, he couldn¡¯t miss it. Even if it was just as an audience. MOBA games company! At this time, there were three more people in the company. The three people who had left had returned to the company. Now, the company¡¯s scale had expanded to five people. The five people gathered together and were discussing something. ¡°What do you think about the interschool esports competition?¡± Karan asked his friends. They already knew about the competition. Now, they were discussing the attitude that they had to maintain. ¡°Karan, this is our chance.¡± ¡°We should promote this competition.¡± ¡°As long as this competition can be completed successfully and reach a certain level of sensation, it will only benefit our company.¡± ¡°It will even allow our company to rise again.¡± Hart said excitedly. Whether the gaming company could come back from the dead, this was definitely a good opportunity. ¡°I think so too. This is the first esports competition in the country. We must seize this opportunity.¡± Third Brother also thought so. ¡°Okay, now prepare to update the game. Put the registration website on the game¡¯s homepage.¡± ¡°Fourth brother, contact kasage university and see if there¡¯s anything we can do.¡± Kiran took this competition very seriously. They had been waiting for this opportunity for four years. Now that it was finally here, how could they let it go. Hence, the entire company started to get busy. The game had also undergone a small update. All the players who played this game would be able to see it as soon as they entered the game. Chapter 34 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Even the game¡¯s official website was promoting this event. It was clear that this event was real and popular. Those who didn¡¯t believe in it before also believed in it now. As a result, the number of people signing up for the competition on the website began to increase. The competition time was three days later. There were already people heading to Kasage University. Even if they arrived a day earlier, it wouldn¡¯t matter because they didn¡¯t want to miss this competition. Not only were there contestants, but there were also many esports enthusiasts heading to Kasage University. They were all here to witness the country¡¯s first esports competition. Kasage University! At this moment, all the people in charge of the competition had gathered together. Because this time, Edward was in charge of the esports competition. ¡°How many people have signed up as of now?¡± Edward asked Conan. Conan was always the one who kept the background statistics of the registration website. ¡°So far, 320 teams have signed up, all from various universities.¡± Conan handed over the printed registration data to Edward. Edward took a look and was a little excited. To be able to achieve such a feat in the first attempt was already beyond Edward¡¯s expectations. ¡°There will definitely be a lot of people rushing to the college in the next two days. We have to maintain order.¡± ¡°The principal has entrusted this matter to us. We must try our best to do well in this competition.¡± Edward instructed everyone. Everyone also knew the importance of this competition. If there was even the slightest mistake, the esports competition would be affected. That would not only embarrass them, but the entire Kasage University. After arranging everything, everyone went about their own business. Two days later, Kasage University began to bustle. Everyone who had signed up had to report to Kasage University first. Lex also gave Edward a set of magic equipment so that he could count the number of people in one go. As long as the information was recorded, the magic equipment could be sorted by itself. More than 300 teams had reported in two days. No one delayed. Even the farthest teams had arrived. Edward used the magic equipment to randomly rank more than 300 teams and then assigned them to fight. All of the computers that were to be used in the competition were already gathered in the Esports Hall. One could complete 100 teams¡¯ matches at a time. 1 Each game was divided into three rounds. They were divided into the knockout round, the qualifier round, and the final round. Because this was a small game, there were only two days for the game. The top eight teams had to be decided within two days. As for why the winner was not decided, Edward did not ask much. He trusted the principal and knew that the principal must have his own reason. The third day was also the time for the competition. All the participating teams had arrived early. The students of Kasage University consciously did the work of receiving the students from other colleges. At the same time, there were also the spectators who needed to maintain order. Backstage of the Esports Hall. ¡°Captain, it does not look good. There are too many spectators. There¡¯s no room to sit inside.¡± A member of Kasage University said to Edward. ¡°What?¡± Edward was very shocked. He had already considered this situation. So, he built a venue for the esports competition. This venue could accommodate upto 10,000 people. Could it be that there weren¡¯t even enough seats for 10,000 people? Edward walked out from the backstage. He saw that the venue was already full. But at the entrance of the Esports Hall, there was still a steady stream of people entering. This made Edward feel very stable. If there was a mess because of the venue, that would not be good. However, the facts proved that his worries were unnecessary. The audience who entered later did not complain at all. All of them consciously concentrated in a place with an open space. Or they sat directly on the steps. The entire venue was filled to the brim, with no space at all. Seeing this scene, Edward was finally relieved. However, at the same time, his confidence was surging. To be able to get more than 10,000 people to watch, it meant that they had already succeeded halfway As long as nothing went wrong in the following matches, they would have successfully organized the competition. In order to make the matches fair, Kasage Universit specially invited people from the MOBA game company to act as referees. At the same time, there were also some big gods in the game. Others might not be able to find them, but Lex could. When they heard that they were invited to be the referees of the esports competition, they immediately agreed. This competition could be said to be very grand. From the decorations to the stadium, everything was well-organized. After some opening remarks, the competition began. The strongest team was Edward¡¯s team. Not only did they have the first mage, but they also had wild king and the all-rounder, Brown. All the experts were gathered in this team. This was also what they had agreed in advance. They wanted to build the strongest team. In addition to the training they had undergone during this period of time, their coordination was already very tacit. Sometimes, they didn¡¯t even need to communicate to understand each other¡¯s intentions. Although the other teams couldn¡¯t reach their level, they weren¡¯t weak either. With their coordination, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have any problems getting into the top 20. The people who came this time were all experts from the universities across the country. There were also very powerful members among them. Even Edward couldn¡¯t guarantee that he would get first place. Soon, the first group of teams went on stage. 100 teams and 500 people walked onto the stage together. 500 people logged into the game together, and none of them got stuck. The elimination matches would be randomly played on the big screen. Some reporters also broadcasted the process of the match to their own websites. Those esports fans who could not come would also be the first to see it. Two hours later, the first round of the competition ended. The eliminated teams were not disappointed either, because they were already very happy to be able to participate in the competition. Chapter 35 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The first round of the knockout round ended and the second round began. Six teams from Kasage University went on stage. Only Edward¡¯s team was not on stage. It was not known whether it was specially arranged or not. The teams that went on stage this time were all stronger than the previous round. Therefore, this round of the competition was more intense. The battle was also more intense. It caused waves of cheers from the audience. They wanted nothing more than to go on stage and play a match. Even the audience watching the broadcast wished the same. The results of each round could resonate with them. Some of the older people were already obsessed with watching it. It was as if they were immersed in memories. They were recalling the time when they played competitive games, thinking of their former teammates. At this moment, they were not only watching the game, but also their feelings and their dreams. At this moment, their dreams seemed to have come true. Lex watched the game in his office, feeling very gratified. It was not bad for his dream of playing esports to come true in this world. After the second round of the game ended, the teams that had advanced cheered. At this moment, they felt the charm of esports. Although they were happy playing games, they were not as excited as they were now. This was the difference between playing games and esports. The third round of teams went on stage. When these teams entered their game accounts, the entire audience was in an uproar. This was because each team could see one or two gods. These experts all had their own fans. Although there weren¡¯t many, it was enough for them to be excited. Game gods weren¡¯t like celebrities who could see their faces on the internet. Fans could only see their operating skills, but they hadn¡¯t seen their real faces. Among the many teams, the most shocking one was Edward¡¯s team. Three of Edward¡¯s teammates were gods. Thousands of people cheered for them. It was indeed a bit excessive for a team to have three gods. Therefore, the entire third round of the match was broadcasted by Edward¡¯s team. It could be said to be exceptionally eye-catching. This third round was full of experts, but it was the shortest round. Especially Edward¡¯s team, which used tactics, ended even faster. Their opponents were baffled by the tacit cooperation between them. Before they knew the reason, they had already lost. Without a doubt, Edward¡¯s team advanced. All seven teams from Kasage University advanced. But it was only the beginning. Because there were 160 teams that advanced. The game ended at noon. There was a one-hour break, and the game continued in the afternoon. However, no one in the audience left. They didn¡¯t even have lunch. They waited until the match began in the afternoon. Two rounds of matches were held in the afternoon. One hundred and six advanced to eighty, and the other eighty advanced to forty. In the end, forty strong teams were left behind. However, there was one regretful thing. One team from Kasage University was eliminated. The system matched them with a very strong team, so they could only regret their defeat. The first day of the competition ended. Everyone left Kasage University satisfied. The competition brought them passion and made them feel the joy of competition. It was not about winning or losing, but just enjoying the process of competition. Lex was very satisfied with the first day of the competition. The reason why he let go was to give Edward and the others some experience. Kasage University did not have a teacher, so it was more necessary for the students to be independent. Such things would definitely not happen less in Kasage University. It was beneficial to let the students experience more. Even if they went out of society in the future, it was also a valuable experience. He did not misjudge the person, and Edward did not disappoint him. Even in the face of tens of thousands of people, nothing happened. One had to know that there were many reporters present in such a scene. As long as there was a little accident, the competition would be over. The students could help each other and know how to make use of their own expertise. It also made Lex feel gratified. The first day ended successfully. Lex looked forward to the results of the next day even more. Because he had a bigger plan. A plan to completely make esports rise. In fact, this was also the reason why he was in a hurry to select a strong team. A discerning person could tell at a glance that this competition seemed to be in a hurry. This was one of the reasons why Lex was in such a hurry. He just wanted to carry out his plan as soon as possible. The next day! It was still overcrowded. Not only did the audience not decrease, but it also increased this time. But even if the audience increased, it could not change the venue. The extra audience could only stand. Soon, the game began. Forty teams entered the field. The most attention-grabbing team was still Edward¡¯s team. Today, Edward changed a new way of playing. It was completely different from the tactics he used yesterday. However, the similarity was that it was unpredictable and difficult to guard against. If one were to savor it carefully, one would be able to learn a lot from their tactics. This was a tactic that had been researched by the three gods for a long time, and it contained a lot of techniques. If one learned a move, one would be able to step into the ranks of experts. However, it was not so easy to learn it. Even if one discovered it, without sufficient awareness and hand speed, one would not be able to use it. The round quickly ended and 20 winning teams appeared. Among them, there were five teams from Kasage University. The other teams from Kasage University might not be as strong as those big teams. However, they had the tactics developed by the three gods. Using these tactics, they successfully defeated some gods and advanced. The game continued. The remaining teams got fewer and fewer, and the game got better and better. Because every battle now could be called a textbook battle. Chapter 36 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The round for the top 10 began. The surrounding audience fell silent to witness the round. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the broadcast screen. This time, Edward was facing the team from Saint University. After seeing their opponent, the team from Saint University didn¡¯t feel any fear but was rather excited. To be able to fight against three gods was a glorious thing. Even if they lost, it was enough for them to brag about. ¡°Brothers, bring out all of our strength. Even if we lose, we have to lose spectacularly.¡± Wells said to his four teammates. ¡°Good!¡± The four teammates seemed to have been injected with stimulants. They were all very excited. 1 But very quickly, their hearts turned cold. The difference in strength was too great. In less than an hour, the three rounds ended. It was as if the tactics of Edward¡¯s battle team could not be used up. They had actually used a new type of tactic. After the end of the match yesterday, many teams had gone back to study the tactics used by Edward¡¯s battle team. They had also studied the battle plan. Naturally, Wells¡¯ battle team had also studied it. But now, they had changed their tactics. Wells and the others could only helplessly return to their seats. They had no chance to compete in the following matches. Before long, the remaining matches were over. The top 10 teams appeared. This time, only three out of the initial seven teams from Kasage University were left. A few dark horses appeared in the competition. These people were originally unknown. But now, they had been remembered by tens of thousands of people. Perhaps someone knew their game name, but they were appearing in front of everyone for the first time. 1 After resting for an hour, Kasage University performed a show. The goal was to relieve everyone¡¯s pressure. Even if they were just playing games, they would feel tired after such an intense competition. At this moment, Lex had already appeared in the esports arena. However, no one recognized him. He was about the same age as a student. Standing in the middle of the crowd, he did not stand out at all. Although he appeared on camera a few times, not many people could remember him. An hour quickly passed. The final match began. Ten teams entered the field. Coincidentally, Edward¡¯s team met another team from Kasage University. Immediately afterwards, a battle ensued. Kasage University¡¯s team was all trained by Edward and the others. The result was obvious. In the end, this team had no choice but to end the match. Against their own captain, they could only do their best. Kasage University¡¯s internal battle made the other teams very happy. They finally didn¡¯t have to face such a terrifying opponent. This way, their chances of advancing would be greater. In the end, the match ended with the cheers of the audience. The top five teams appeared. These five teams were all very strong, and their coordination was very tacit. With this kind of tacit understanding, it was impossible to achieve it without a long period of practice. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, the top five teams have been selected. Next, the top eight teams will be selected based on the battle points.¡± At this moment, the battle points rankings appeared on the screen. 300 teams could see their own points on the screen. The first team to be eliminated would definitely have the lowest points. It could guarantee absolute fairness. The first team to be ranked was Edward¡¯s. This was universally acknowledged by everyone. The rest of the rankings were also very fair. However, there was one thing that made the audience very curious. Why did they choose the top eight in this way? Moreover, wasn¡¯t there still a final match? Everyone was waiting for Kasage University¡¯s explanation. ¡°Hello, everyone. I am the principal of Kasage University, Lex.¡± ¡°I know that everyone must have some questions as to why they were in such a hurry to choose the top eight teams.¡± ¡°Now, let¡¯s give everyone an explanation.¡± ¡°Because I want to select these eight teams and let them participate in international competitions.¡± ¡°And the registration for international competitions will end in an hour.¡± Lex finally told everyone everything. Everyone was shocked when they heard what he said. They did not expect such a thing to happen. International competition of esports? The audience in the entire venue began to discuss. They had just heard the word ¡°esports¡± not long ago, and now they were going to participate in international competitions? A group of university students could really participate in an international competition? Everyone¡¯s heart was boiling. Looking at the shocked expressions of the tens of thousands of spectators, Lex was not the least bit surprised. He had been looking forward to this matter for a long time. If domestic e-sports wanted to rise, they had to make some achievements. The fastest way was to participate in a competition. There was no such competition in the country, so he could only look at the international competition. This interschool e-sports competition was like a tryouts competition. To select the best players from the national high schools to participate in international competitions. As long as they could get excellent results in the competitions, it would certainly change many people¡¯s views on e-sports. And today was the last day of the registration for the international e-sports competition. This was the reason why Lex was so anxious. If he missed today, the rise of e-sports would be delayed for another half a year. He did not want to wait so long. The teams that were promoted to the top eight were all stunned. Lex¡¯s words were still echoing in their minds. E-sports was going to the world? They were participating in an international competition? For a moment, their hearts could not calm down. This news came too suddenly. Chapter 37 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The news that Lex suddenly announced was out of everyone¡¯s expectations. The reporters at the venue were all full of enthusiasm. It was as if they had seen their prey. An international competition was a big event, a big piece of news. They would not let it go. The top eight contestants had already been selected. They had to hurry up and register. Then, Lex announced the end of the competition. He took the top eight teams to the alchemy building. After telling them everything, he left. Edward waited for a long time before he realized. When the esports competition was held, they had already taken a big step. He did not expect the principal to be even crazier than them. Participating in international competitions was something they had never thought of. Although it felt unreal, Edward was still looking forward to it. If he could get an international ranking, it would also be a big step toward his dream. Thinking of this, Edward put away his thoughts. Then, he began to gather the top 8 teams. Soon, the teams of the top eight were gathered. Forty people left the stadium and walked towards the alchemy building. They left for a long time before the audience recovered from their shock. Following that, another round of intense discussions broke out. The competition was over! At this time, in the alchemy building. Lex saw the members of the top eight team again in the conference room. ¡°Are there any who want to give up on participating in the international competition this time?¡± He went straight to the point. He had never liked people who gave up halfway. Rather than giving up on participating in the competition, it was better to choose to leave voluntarily. It would save them from losing face internationally. All the team members fell into silence. When they were still students, they were still a little worried when participating in the international competition. ¡°Principal, does it cost a lot of money to participate in international competitions?¡± Someone asked. When he played games, he hid it from his parents. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he took the money to participate in international competitions¡­ As a student, he didn¡¯t have any source of income. He came to ask his parents for his living expenses. And it wasn¡¯t even to say that he took the money to participate in international competitions. As students, they did not need any income. They came to their parents for their living expenses. They simply could not afford to spend so much money. ¡°Kasage University will pay for all the expenses to participate in this competition.¡± 3 Lex promised to the team members present. His promise made everyone excited. Now that the most difficult matter had been resolved, they no longer had any worries. ¡°I¡¯m willing to participate in the competition.¡± Edward was the first to express his stance. ¡°I¡¯m willing!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll participate!¡± ¡°Me Too!¡± More than 40 students chose to participate. Not a single one of them gave up. Every single one of them knew very well that this was the only opportunity they had in their lives. If they missed this opportunity, they would regret it for the rest of their lives. ¡°Very good. This is a good opportunity. I hope that all of you can seize it.¡± ¡°Whether esports can rise or not, the hope lies in each and every one of you.¡± 1 ¡°All of you must use your actions to tell everyone that playing games can also bring glory to the country!¡± Lex said some encouraging words. This was all he could do. The rest was up to the students themselves. More than forty members all had firm eyes and solemn expressions. Lex¡¯s words made them realize how heavy the burden on their shoulders was. They represented not only themselves, but also the millions of esports enthusiasts. Their hopes, their glory. Especially Lex¡¯s last sentence, ¡°Playing games can also bring glory to our country.¡± It deeply stimulated them. Following that, Lex let Monica in and brought these people to register. There was not much time left, so they had to hurry. They used half an hour, and all the battle teams reported the names and members of their battle teams. Finally, they completed this task before the website closed. At the same time, Lex announced that they would set off in two days. Everyone had to be prepared. To communicate well with their families, they had to inform their families in advance. After all, they were going abroad. They couldn¡¯t just disappear for no reason. 1 After that, Edward brought everyone to their place of residence. The next day. The news of playing games to bring glory to the country spread. On the major news websites, this news was on the headlines The topic of esports was not over yet. Now, such a thing had happened again. This time, all the parents went crazy. No one believed this. ¡°Playing games can bring glory to the country? What a joke.¡± ¡°Going to participate in the video games competition is a waste of the students¡¯ time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, my children absolutely can not play games.¡± ¡°Kasage University again? Can¡¯t they let the students study properly?¡± In the parents¡¯ view, how could entertainment be able to bring glory to the country? Only by learning well could one win glory for the country. The entire internet was filled with voices of doubt. No one was optimistic about this competition. Lex was in his office, watching the comments on the news. However, he did not care too much. Because he knew that behind the esports, there were tens of millions of supporters. In two days, all the team members were nervously preparing. Because they knew that what they were going to face next was not their usual entertainment. It was a real challenge. They did not know what the international situation was like. They did not know what kind of experts there were either. Everything was full of uncertainty. However, they wanted to fight their way out of it! Chapter 38 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Two days later. It was time to set off. This time, it was not Lex leading the team, but Monica. Otherwise, it would be a problem to communicate abroad. Monica was proficient in several languages, so it was most suitable to send her. The documents to go abroad had been processed. Everyone took their things and rushed to the airport. In an hour, more than 40 people appeared at the airport. These people were dressed in red and white clothes. 3 When they walked to the airport, they looked very eye-catching. They were the 40 contestants participating in the competition. Right now, they were like soldiers who were about to enter the battlefield. At the same time, in the airport square, there was also a group of people waiting. These dozens of people were holding banners. The banner had three words written on it. ¡®Esports! Come on!¡¯ These three words were deeply etched in their hearts too. Although there were only dozens of people who came to cheer them on, it was enough to make them feel warm. This was the first time they felt this kind of feeling of being supported by others. The contestants waved to those who supported them and then walked to the airport with red eyes. They didn¡¯t make any promises, but they made up their minds. They couldn¡¯t let the people who supported them down. Not long after, the plane flew across the sky and disappeared into the clouds. The ¡®warriors¡¯ set off on their journey. After five hours of flying, they finally reached the destination. Soon, Monica brought the contestants to the official reception area. The two foreign women were in charge of receiving the contestants. Monica walked up to them and communicated with them. ¡°Hello, we are here to participate in the esports international competition.¡± After Monica finished speaking, she took out the certificate of participation. As long as it was a team that had signed up, they would have such a certificate. The two women in charge of receiving the contestants looked at Monica with surprise on their faces. They were very confused. This was not the first time that the esports competition had been held. Although the competition was open to the whole world, there were at most eight teams allowed from each country. This was the first time the other side had participated. After seeing the certificate Monica gave, the two women believed it. Immediately afterwards, they let Monica complete some formalities and arranged for people to escort them to the competition venue. Regarding these people¡¯s attitude, Monica did not have too much confidence. Before long, they were brought to the venue of the competition. It was about the same size as the esports hall of Kasage University. It could hold more than 10,000 people. It was indeed a bit shabby to use such a venue for an international competition. But it wasn¡¯t entirely the fault of the organizers. Esports couldn¡¯t be compared to sports in the first place. There wouldn¡¯t be many spectators. 10,000 people were more than enough, as there would be a lot of tickets left each year. Monica led the contestants to the seats arranged by the organizers. Although it was their first time participating, the organizers didn¡¯t forget to arrange it. This was a matter of etiquette. At this time, many contestants from other countries were also seated on their respective seats. As soon as Monica appeared with her team, everyone looked over. Their faces were filled with confusion. Which country was this contestant from? Why had they never seen her before? Not long after, the preliminaries began. The purpose of the preliminaries was to eliminate those weak teams. There were many contestants participating, and they came from all over the world. Their strengths were different. There were strong teams and weak teams. It was because of this that the preliminaries came into being. Only the truly strong teams could enter the official competition. There were 400 teams participating in the preliminaries, but only 50 teams could advance. It could be seen how intense the competition was. The preliminaries lasted for two days, so there was only one chance to fight. The winner was decided in one round, not two out of three. The eight teams were all in the first day of the competition. Because there were too many teams in the preliminaries, it would not be spread out. It was very likely that they would not even have the chance to show their faces when they came out to participate in the competition. In the first match, the eight teams went on stage together. When the opponents saw that it was all them, the foreign players all smiled. However, the players of Kasage all had solemn expressions on their faces. At the same time, they all made up their minds to teach those foreigners a lesson. They had been holding back their anger, waiting for this moment to erupt. As a result, the eight teams of Kasage University became the first team to end the round. Before the opponents could react, the round had already ended. Kasage University¡¯s eruption shocked everyone. They had never thought that this team, who had never participated in an international competition before, would be able to erupt with such a powerful strength. By the time Edward returned to his seat, the disdainful gazes around him had all disappeared. All that was left was shock. If not for the fact that all that happened in front of their very own eyes, no one would have believed this result. There were three matches in the preliminaries. Only those who had won all three matches would be able to advance. For the remaining two rounds, Kasage¡¯s team still won in a crushing manner. They had successfully advanced to the official competition. However, it was also from this moment that everyone¡¯s opinion of Kasage¡¯s team changed. This team had already made a name for themselves. At Kasage University. In the President¡¯s office. Lex was looking at the screen of the competition. There was no broadcast of the preliminaries, but Lex could see the situation through the surveillance equipment in the venue. Lex saw the performance of Edward and the others. Regarding their high-profile performance, Lex only smiled faintly. The participants of the competition were all university students, so they naturally had pride in their hearts. Playing games could bring glory to the country. That was not just talk. When he saw this, Lex turned off the screen. Then, he opened a website. This website was the registration website for the previous esports competition. After modification, it had become an esports exchange website. All esports enthusiasts could exchange information about the direction of esports here. Lex posted a message on the website. ¡°Kasage team, all qualifiers have been promoted!¡± Chapter 39 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Not long after this news was released, the traffic on the entire website exploded. There were also people constantly entering the website. These people were all esports enthusiasts. Ever since the last esports competition, many people had signed up for this website. As long as information about esports was posted, esports enthusiasts would be able to get it. Right now, everyone was focused on the international esports competition. When Lex posted this message, the website immediately became lively. Everyone was discussing whether this message was true or false. ¡°All of them have advanced? Are they for real?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, there¡¯s no broadcasting in the country at all.¡± ¡°Could it be that someone is at the competition venue? Quickly tell me more information.¡± There was no broadcasting of the preliminaries, so the results could not be received in the country at all. Now that there was news, how could they not be excited? After Lex sent this message, he did not care anymore. He was just passing on the results. Many people were waiting for the results, wishing that they could fly to the venue. Now that there was a result, regardless of whether it was real or fake, it was somewhat comforting. Even if it was just a preliminary, they could still feel proud. The preliminaries would go on for two days. The Kasage Battle Team finished the first day of the competition and went to the stadium the next day to watch the matches of other countries. They had never paid attention to the situation overseas. They didn¡¯t even know the strength of these teams. They hadn¡¯t walked much on the path of esports and knew very little. ¡®Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you win every battle.¡¯ They all knew this very well. So they gave up the rest of the day and especially rushed to the scene. In order to see more clearly, they all chose the place closest to them. Moreover, each battle team was responsible for a region. They gathered all the information of all the powerful battle teams. Then, they gathered this information and analyzed all the powerful enemies. As for those who posed a threat, they all had to pay attention to them. They collected information during the day and analyzed the data at night. All 40 players were busy. Everyone could see their efforts. The third day was the start of the official competition. The official competition was divided into qualifiers, semi-finals, and finals. And the official competition was even longer, lasting upto a week¡¯s time. The qualifiers would determine the top eight. The top eight would then proceed to the semi-finals. 1 The final round would determine the champion. Kasage¡¯s eight teams walked into the competition venue. Compared to the last time, there was more confidence on their faces. In the past two days, they had analyzed all the teams that had advanced. Knowing the opponent¡¯s background, they could relax a lot. Just like the last time they entered the competition venue, Kasage¡¯s teams became the focus of attention again. However, the way they looked at it had changed. Last time, it was curiosity, but now, it was respect. Their strength had already been recognized by their opponents. This was a huge improvement for Edward and the others. The official match had already been broadcasted by the organizers. In their hands, they all held a sign. Come on! They had come all the way to a foreign country just to cheer Kasage¡¯s teams. This made Kasage¡¯s teams feel very encouraged. Because it was not only an honor, but also a responsibility. They didn¡¯t know that these people weren¡¯t the only ones watching them. There were also Kasage¡¯s tens of millions of e-sports fans. A window popped up on the e-sports website. The contents of the game were displayed in the window. The reason why this window appeared was because Lex added it. He wanted everyone to see how esports had risen. He wanted those who didn¡¯t believe to see the moment when playing video games brought glory to the country. So he deliberately made a window like this. The inspiration came from the live broadcast in his previous life. That¡¯s right, it was a live broadcast. In this world, the live broadcast industry had yet to rise. What Lex did was equivalent to the first live broadcast. It was just simple and crude. Moreover, it did not have a tip function. The only advantage was that it could send bullet comments. Of course, Lex could not let go of the bullet comments function. 1 The esports chat site became a live streaming site. As the live stream began, people began to enter the site. At present, many people did not know that the site had this function, and not many people entered. Only 100,000 people were online. However, Lex knew that this was only the beginning. An hour later, the number of people on the website began to increase explosively. One Million! Five million! Ten million! A total of ten million people entered the website to watch the live broadcast. Just as the website broke through ten million, the qualifying round began. The moment Kasage¡¯s eight battle teams appeared on stage. Countless cheers drifted across the website¡¯s live broadcast. The entire screen was covered by cheers. Not a single person could be seen. In order to continue watching, the audience could only turn off the bullet screens. Edward¡¯s parents were holding their computers to watch the live broadcast of the match. ¡°Hubby, look, our son has appeared.¡± After seeing Edward, they were very excited. At this moment, they were proud of their son. From a lazy student, he had now stepped onto the international stage. They were now somewhat glad of their decision. If they had stopped Edward, how could they have achieved what they did now? At the same time, they also had one person to thank, and that was Lex. Without Kasage University, without Lex¡¯s support, their son would definitely be the same as before, and he would not have achieved anything. Edward¡¯s parents were also grateful towards Kasage University. At this moment, they were also watching the live broadcast of the competition. Their son was able to step onto the international stage. This was something that they had never dreamed of. Looking at the scene in front of them, they even felt that it wasn¡¯t real. ¡°Is this true? Our child has already walked so far.¡± Edward¡¯s mother¡¯s eyes were red, and her body was trembling. As a mother, how could she not be excited that her son could achieve such a great achievement? ¡°Our son has made it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the president of Kasage University.¡± Without Kasage University, their son would not have made it here. Chapter 40 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The 40 squadrons headed towards their designated positions. Now that it was the official competition, all the facilities were much better. Each squadron had their own positions, and they were extremely far away. This way, there wouldn¡¯t be any interference between them. Very quickly, all eight squadrons from Kasage University sat down, and began to inspect their own equipment. Although the equipment here was not as good as Kasage University¡¯s equipment, they were all top-notch. Using them would not affect the game. However, they were still despised by Kasage University. ¡°The equipment is really broken. It¡¯s not even as good as our university¡¯s equipment.¡± Edward said softly. However, this sentence was heard by the recorder beside him. The equipment in the game was despised by the players from Kasage University? As a recorder for many years, this was the first time he heard the equipment being despised. ¡°Stop complaining, quickly check the equipment.¡± Soon, all the players confirmed that there was no problem with the equipment. So the players began to log into the game. As soon as the game started, Edward and the others became serious. The cheeky smile from before had already disappeared. This was their attitude towards the game. As soon as they entered the game, the opposing team sent a message. Brown¡¯s expression turned cold. Seeing Brown¡¯s expression change, Edward and the others already understood what it meant. It definitely wasn¡¯t something good. So Edward and the other two looked at each other, and then a mysterious smile appeared on their faces. If they were seen by people who knew them well, they would know that they were going to do something bad. Unfortunately, they were broadcasting the game footage, not the players. Otherwise, the live broadcast site would be filled with bullet screens again. Edward and the other two got together and not only studied a lot of practical tactics. There were also a lot of disgusting tactics. But these tactics were only known to them. And they rarely used them. On campus, they were facing their own people. There was no need to use these tactics. But now it was different. Someone dared to provoke them. How could they tolerate this? So the three of them each chose a very strange character. And they were all very unpopular characters. These characters all had a characteristic, which was that they had half-map or full-map teleportation skills. Their choices not only confused their opponents, but even the viewers watching the live broadcast were confused. There was no lack of experts among the viewers watching the live broadcast. Edward and the other two¡¯s choices confused them. These three characters didn¡¯t have much connection with each other, so it was very difficult to form a synergy between their skills. Moreover, the operating efficiency was very high, so it wasn¡¯t suitable for use in a match at all. Could it be that the three gods wanted to show off their operating efficiency in a competition? This was what everyone thought. Their opponents also thought the same. 1 Esports was not a one-man game. It required the cooperation of a team. One person showing off their operating efficiency was simply courting death. Moreover, it was in this kind of international competition. Which team could stand out from the crowd without a certain amount of strength. Unless they were gods, no one would want to show off their skills. At the start of the match, the majority of the audience was most interested in Edward¡¯s team. They all wanted to see them show off their skills. In the first five minutes of the match, Edward and the other two were well-behaved and did not make any unusual movements. Other than being able to see that their skills were very high, nothing else could be seen. The audience on the live broadcast website were somewhat puzzled. During the esports competition, the nine gods battle team had used many tactics. Moreover, they had never seen these tactics before. One tactic would not be used a second time. But why didn¡¯t they use it now? Just as they were puzzled, the three gods moved. Edward charged towards the opposite side alone. There were no teammates around him. This gave the other side an opportunity, so they were ready to make their move. But just as they got closer, they realized that the other side¡¯s support had arrived. With the cooperation of the three gods, they slaughtered the other side. Three people were enough to fight against five people. This was their capital. Seeing their screens go dark, the opponents were all stunned. Before they made their move, they had already looked carefully. There were no teammates at all. How did so many people appear during the fight? They could not understand, but the audience knew the reason. All three of them had teleportation skills, so they could support the entire map. No matter where they were, three people would always appear at the same time. Next, the opponent faced a nightmare. Edward entered the opponent¡¯s camp unscrupulously. Wild King¡¯s strength was fully displayed by him. 1 One person could not deal with him. If two people appeared together to deal with him, then they would face a siege. If all five appeared, Edward would turn around and leave. But the other people were indeed very offensive. The greatest advantage of this tactic was to fight with more than one. No matter where the battlefield was, they would always be able to provide timely support. Together with the three people¡¯s ¡®super consciousness¡¯. As a result, their opponents were beaten until they cried. This was the first time they had experienced the terror of the game. They had no desire to fight at all. Team Edward won without any suspense. Seeing the symbol of victory, the live broadcast website instantly exploded. ¡°Haha, the tactics of the three gods are too weird.¡± ¡°I feel sorry for their opponents, but I really want to laugh.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything, they¡¯re too amazing!¡± This was the first time they had seen such a tactic. Three people who already had terrifying controls, yet they were still playing with numbers. 2 They didn¡¯t even give their opponents a chance to resist. They were afraid that their opponents wouldn¡¯t have any gaming experience. It wasn¡¯t just the domestic audience. All the esports fans in the world were stunned. They exclaimed in their hearts that this tactic was shameless. However, they still silently noted down this tactic. 3 In the international esports competition, the team that could beat the opponent to tears. Kasage University was definitely the first.
