Chapter 21: E-sports
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.

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.

“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.
