Chapter 1: The Underachievers Establish A University
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.
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.
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.
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.
No university was willing to recruit Lex.
This world was also a world that placed great importance on academic qualifications.
Students with high academic qualifications were equivalent to nobles.
No one felt that it was wrong for them to enjoy all kinds of respect and privileges in society.
However, if they did not have academic qualifications?
They would be discriminated against in society.
Not to mention a Lex who did not even get into a university.
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.
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.
Lex did not want his parents to be completely disappointed in him.
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.
The moment this idea appeared, a voice sounded in Lex’s mind.
[ Ding! Host target detected! ]
[ System triggered! ]
[ System successfully activated! ]
[ -LSB- newcomer mission reward sent! ]
This series of unfamiliar voices appeared directly in Lex’s mind.
He was completely stunned.
However, what followed was an influx of joy.
This was the system!
The golden finger that every transmigrator must have!
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! ]
[ The system will reward the host according to the degree of the students’ achievements. ]
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 ]
[ Your academy will teach the most outstanding magic users! ]
[ They are called Mages! ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
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?
“Magic University… Magic University…”
After reciting it a few times, Lex became even more determined.
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!
It was the university that he wanted.
As expected, the system knew exactly what he wanted!
“Hahahaha! Good! Let’s set up a Magic University!”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
