“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?

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.”

“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.

“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!’
