What Kyung-joon suggested was to bring the Student Magic Tower Establishment Support Program, or 『E*5 Fael University』 for short.

E*5 Fael University!

The Fairy-Elven Alliance usually sets up a new policy framework every 5 years, and 『E*5 Fael University』 was implemented at Fael University under the policy of 『Creative Magic』, which is the framework for this year.

Originally……

『Under the support of the Small and Medium Magic Tower Administration, which is in charge of the center of the Creative Magic policy, young people who are struggling with unemployment are attracted to idea-oriented magic tower establishment, and now they are moving away from the economy centered on the Grand Magic Tower to overcome the current economic slowdown of the Fael Alliance!』

……It was a policy implemented with very good intentions, but the students’……

『They can’t raise the employment rate, so now they’re telling young people to build magic towers!』

『Don’t arbitrarily pass on the risk as if challenge and establishment are the exclusive property of young people!』

『They say that when you’re young, all you lose is time, do they think time comes from digging the ground? What does that even mean when they don’t accept you in a magic tower even if you’re over 100 years old! 』

……It was a policy of Fael University that was completely ruined with such blunt criticism and an extremely low participation rate.

“That’s what Ezeri…… I mean, Ezeri Capirus, who I worked with before, told me.”

“Right. The youngest of the Capirus family, right?”

“Ah, come to think of it, she said she was the youngest…… Anyway, yes, Fairy King-nim. That’s right.”

Kyung-joon had heard this information in passing while working with Ezeri, and he brought back the failed policy as it was and modified it to 『appeal to students』 and sent it out again.

●Benefits for Winners and Participants!

1. All the trivial magic tower establishment documents are passed with the Fairy King’s seal!

2. 100 years of free lease of the office of the Fael Industry-University Cooperation Foundation directly under the Fairy King!

3. Lump-sum payment of 1 billion liyan for initial magic tower establishment funds!

4. One Fael University professor can be brought in as an advisor under the appointment of the Fairy King!

5. All winning team students will be recognized for their graduation research, employment status, etc.!

“In short, you’re saying that you’ll give us money, a place, graduation, and even the future?”

“That’s right. In fact, if the reward is good, no matter what happens, it’s bound to be forgiven.”

The number one thing that always attracts people is rewards!

“But that means you’re telling me to take responsibility.”

“Haha, I can’t help it.”

Of course, such a large undertaking would require enormous capital and political power, all of which the Fairy King would be responsible for.

“If Fairy King-nim gives us the OK, we can start next week, right? I heard that E*5 Fael University is usually held right after the festival.”

Since today was the last day of the Fael Festival, the preliminary round could begin as early as tomorrow with the Fairy King’s approval.

“So, you’re saying that by winning here, you’ll show not only your 『abilities as a wizard』 but also your 『abilities as a researcher』?”

“Yes. Exactly.”

The current Fael University students, regardless of Those Who Tear Paper or Scrollpia, all acknowledged Kyung-joon’s abilities.

From the giant energy laser 『Heaven’s Punishment』 that burned down the entire PUBG booth to the fact that he had a one-on-one fight with Fairy Azuaz and overwhelmed her.

No matter how human or otherworlder he was, they couldn’t help but acknowledge his abilities.

But this was 『his ability as a wizard』, and he needed to show his 『ability as a researcher』 as a professor at Fairy-Elven Magic Academy.

The opportunity to show this was 『E*5 Fael University』.

“If there is anyone who doesn’t acknowledge me, they can just participate in the competition and beat me. Then I’ll immediately prostrate myself and make sure I never set foot in Fael University again.”

In other words.

Just like how he had beaten down all the disgruntled people at the PUBG booth with magic.

If you have any complaints, join us and beat me.

That’s what it was.

“Hmm…… “

The Fairy King pondered for a moment as she looked at the temporary official letter Kyung-joon had handed her.

And before long.

The Fairy King proclaimed.

“Good! Students of the Magic Academy! The story is as you just heard! Otherworlder Kyung-joon! Those who want to test his abilities! Those who absolutely cannot acknowledge him! Or those who want to witness his greatness right next to them, or those who are simply interested in magic tower establishment and rewards! Everyone, E*5 Fael University……”

The Fairy King paused for a moment and then shouted again.

“……No! 『World’s Top Magic Competition』! Participate in it and show off your knowledge, magic, and passion to your heart’s content!!”

And so, because of Kyung-joon.

Instead of the World’s Best Martial Arts Competition, the World’s Top Magic Competition was to be held at Fairy-Elven Magic Academy.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Most people agreed to hold the World’s Top Magic Competition.

The Fairy King naturally agreed, as she had been the one who had pushed Kyung-joon from the very beginning.

Of course, the fact that the failed policy framework, 『Creative Magic』, could be revived and its effectiveness proven also played a role.

Scrollpia were even more supportive of Kyung-joon than the Fairy King, so they naturally all agreed.

The ordinary students were also happy to finally have a policy with proper rewards, and the fact that they could also get graduation research or employment status recognized was a bonus.

Those Who Tear Paper, including Zot, were not very happy about it, as they were opposed to Kyung-joon, but they reluctantly agreed because it gave them another chance to compete against Kyung-joon.

After all, they couldn’t help but acknowledge him for his magical abilities.

However, the 『World’s Top Magic Competition』, which looked at not only the power of magic but also a combination of factors such as economic viability, feasibility, and creativity, could be different.

And so time passed.

The day of the preliminary round.

“Thank you for your time.”

“Y, Yeah…… I hope you get good results……”

Creak, slam.

Kyung-joon, who had finished his presentation for the preliminary round, closed the door and came out.

━Is that the otherworlder…?

━Mana particles…… wasn’t that just a theory that was buried hundreds of years ago?

━Right…… but I can’t believe he’s actually going to pull it off with that buried theory……”

Beyond the closed door, the judges’ voices could be heard, buzzing with disbelief.

“I’m sure I’ll pass the preliminary round.”

<Yes, you will. Based on my self-scoring, Master’s preliminary round score is 79 points for feasibility, 98 points for creativity, and 93 points for economic viability, for an average of exactly 90 points. Based on my data-based speculation, you’ll definitely be in the top 5% if you score over 80 on average.>

“With about 100 teams participating, that’s a safe zone if it’s in the top 5%.”

<Yes.>

<^Oh^>

Only 5 people will pass the preliminary round.

The following 1st, 2nd, and final presentations are only evaluations to determine the best team.

Just passing the preliminary round and being in the top 5 is enough to prove your qualifications.

But to completely dominate without a single peep, he had to once again confidently take first place among the winning teams.

In other words, passing the preliminary round was a very natural process and this was just the beginning.

“Kyung-joon-nim! Good job on your presentation! I brought you something to drink! And some snacks too!”

Seeing Kyung-joon coming out after his presentation, Edict quickly ran up to him and treated him.

“Oh my! Look at me! I can’t let you eat in a place with nothing like this! Please wait just a moment! I’ll quickly get you a chair, a desk, a cushion, a footrest, a carpet……”

Edict was treating Kyung-joon like a VIP.

Thwack!

“Ouch!”

Just then, Teclyn, who was next to him, hit Edict on the top of his head and stopped him.

“Stop bothering the professor. What’s with all the fuss?”

“Of course I have to make a fuss! It’s Kyung-joon-nim, Kyung-joon-nim! Professor Kyung-joon! The dream of our Scrollpia! The Scroll Department…… no, the Department of Scroll and Scroll Programming has finally come true!”

“Oh my god, you’re such a drama queen……”

“Haha.”

Kyung-joon smiled lightly as he watched the two of them bickering.

“I’m not even an official professor yet, what’s the big deal? Just call me Kyung-joon.”

“No way! How can I possibly do that when you’re going to be a professor soon! You’ll definitely pass this preliminary round too, right?”

His face was flushed with excitement.

To Edict, it was a foregone conclusion that Kyung-joon would become a professor.

“Well, I don’t know. We’ll have to wait for the results……”

“Gasp…… D, Did you make a mistake?!”

But when Kyung-joon made a face that he didn’t quite know, Edict’s flushed face immediately turned pale.

Edict trusted Kyung-joon so much that his tension went up and down with every word he said.

Crack!

“Ouch?!”

Teclyn hit Edict on the top of his head once more.

“I told you to stop bothering him. I’m sorry, Professor.”

“Haha. It’s okay. It’s lively and nice.”

Although it was a bit over the top, Kyung-joon didn’t mind Edict’s enthusiasm and faith in him.

Of course, it would be annoying to have him around all the time.

Fortunately, Kyung-joon was on a separate, solo team from them.

After all, the World’s Top Magic Competition was a competition to see if Kyung-joon had talent as a researcher, as a professor.

He had to pass the preliminary round and win first place among the winning teams with only his own strength, without the help of other students.

“Professor, I brought a list of the other teams, would you like to take a look?”

“Yes! I’ve organized them one by one!

The reason Teclyn and Edict came to see Kyung-joon was actually because of this.

“Oh, sure.”

It was necessary to see what kind of ideas the other participating teams had brought to the competition.

A list of about 100 teams.

Kyung-joon received it and began to look it over.

“Scrollpia Team 『Scroll Programming-Based Disposable Magic Tool Making Method』 …… This is your team’s, right?”

“Yes! We came up with this during the festival and thought it was pretty good, so we decided to go with it!”

“I never thought of making a scroll last longer and using it like a magic tool, but that’s a really good idea.”

“Oh my god……! Thank you so much! Thank you!”

Edict bowed repeatedly at a 90-degree angle, which was burdensome.

Teclyn shook her head at the sight, as if she was too tired to even hit him anymore.

“『Dark Magic Curse Doll That’s Worth 7 Times the Money』, 『New Concept Fairy Combat Magic Textbook』, 『Dragon Palace Sea Krill Oil-Containing Mana Health Supplement Optimized for Each Race』 …… All the ideas are really good?”

Kyung-joon had been quite disappointed with the level of the Fael University students at the PUBG booth.

But as expected of a university, they were all excellent when it came to research and ideas like this.

There were many ideas that Kyung-joon didn’t understand at all because he didn’t study, but if they were actually realized, they would be really good.

But then.

“This is……?”

There was one idea that caught Kyung-joon’s eye.
