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?”

“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.

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.

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!”

“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!”

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!”
