Chapter 65: Race to Register
Early the next morning, Lin Qian was forced to get up by his own will, even earlier than Xiao Yi, who had always gotten up early.
Because this institution was conceived by him, supervised by him, and led by him as the first leader, it was an absolute pro-son institution, and there was no room for sloppiness.
The opening ceremony of the college was naturally the first day of enrollment, so there were still many people gathered outside the door, mainly the declining aristocrats. They may have a lot of money, but their status is not as good as before, and only through the improvement of their strength can they re-enter the upper class, and even re-establish their own families.
For Lin Qian, there is no shortage of funds now, because the remaining assets of the Welsh family have been divided equally between Lin Qian and the Charles family, which should now be called the Bruce family. The only thing that hasn't been looted is the eight mysterious magic arrays in the Welsh family, and I'm afraid only Boris knows where they are in this world.
Charging such a high fee was actually to raise the bar and limit the number of people in the academy, but Lin Qian obviously didn't anticipate the level of people's desire for magic.
On the way to the academy, Lin Qian met such a group of people. Eight families work together to pay for the year's tuition, pay for one child's admission to the college, and then ask him to take notes each day and bring them back to share with the other children. There are even a small village where only the children of the village chief can enter the academy, and the children of other families have to go to the village chief's house every day to "listen to the lectures".
"These children are so pitiful, or let them ......" Xiao Yi is kind-hearted and wants to help when she sees children from poor families.
Lin Qian refused very decisively: "I can help them once, but can I help everyone? This is also unfair to other children, there is no absolute fairness in the world, they should rely on their own efforts to change the unfair treatment, not rely on other people's temporary charity." ”
This is a high-sounding statement, but in fact, Lin Qian is also a little reluctant in his heart, he is also a child of a poor family, and when he sees them, he will have the feeling of his childhood.
"If you really don't have much money, you can go to the magic academy in the southwest of the mainland, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will achieve success wherever you are. If I want to climb to the top of the world just by relying on my academy, I can't help but think of me as too mythical. Lin Qian added that he was just trying to convince himself to be ruthless.
In the previous world, Lin Qian had heard many parents desperately provide for their children in order to go to a good school, but in fact, this also gave their children a lot of pressure. In addition, in school, poor children have an inferiority complex in their hearts, and the learning effect is not as good as in ordinary schools. If you don't have money, you can go to an ordinary school, you can learn things and achieve your goals.
However, some parents just want their children to be far ahead of other children, that is, to pursue all-round excellence in all aspects of their children. I haven't reached that height, so why should my children reach it, even if they have reached a certain height, do we have to ask our children to surpass themselves? If we have to get stronger from generation to generation, then the descendants of any family will have a few prime ministers and chairmen, and there will not be so many positions for you.
It's a very simple reason, Lin Qian just didn't understand why so many people didn't understand, so he thought about it and made up his mind and stopped caring about these children.
"President Lin, long time no see!" As soon as he arrived at the school gate, Dean Green, who had white hair and beard, greeted him.
"Dean Green!" Lin Qian was a little amused when he saw him. This Green asked for a branch president last time, and he was his nominal subordinate, and this time Lin Qian set up a Higher School of Magic, which seemed to put Green on again.
The rostrum had already been set up at the entrance of the school, and Lin Qian stepped onto the stage one step ahead of Dean Green, and sat in the center of the rostrum as a matter of course. The old dean sat down from Lin Qian's seat, looking at the students and parents below, not knowing what he was thinking. Clausen, who had been following Lin Qian on weekdays, was sitting between Lin Qian and Green at this time, as if his position was not lower than Green's.
The two positions on the other side were not visible for a long time, which caused the opening ceremony to be delayed.
"Did Elena oversleep?" Lin Qian asked in a low voice to Clausen, it was normal for the little princess to sleep late last night.
"No, I came here after seeing the princess in the morning. Lin Qian could call the princess by her name, but Clawson didn't dare to call her like that.
"Then wait a little longer. ”
Just when Lin Qian was waiting impatiently, there was a sudden loud noise in the sky, followed by a faint flash of light, and then broken crystal particles were sprinkled all over the sky, causing a commotion and uneasiness among the people in the audience.
Isn't this Lin Qian's fake "fireworks" last night? Why did you put them up at this time? Just as she was wondering, Elena was riding a unicorn from the sky and was "walking" this way.
It's this kind of battle again, Lin Qian really doesn't know how many novel ideas Elena has, she always loves to be in the limelight.
Landing on the rostrum, Elena casually withdrew the summoned unicorn and sat directly next to Lin Qian.
"Brother Lin, I forgot that it's daytime, and I can't see it when I set off fireworks. Elena stuck out her tongue like a coquettish child.
"Alright, everyone is here, Raymond come out. Lin Qian shouted to the seat at the very edge, and then saw a figure slowly appear on the seat.
After the necessary speeches, Lin Qian began the appointment of the leaders of the college.
Lin Qian is the dean, Raymond is the head of the security department, and Clawson is the deputy dean, so it's no wonder that his seat is in the middle of Green's.
In fact, Lin Qian had a better choice, that is, to let his teacher Wan Bing Phantom King serve as the vice president, but Lin Qian himself was already the dean, and he couldn't just press in front of the teacher, so he dispelled this idea. And Clawson had been serving as Lin Qian's magic consultant before, and it was just an idle position to run errands, which was really a bit overkill, so directly putting him as the vice president could also share some affairs for Lin Qian.
Raymond's strength is no less than that of a full-fledged magician, and being the head of the security department and arranging some manpower for him is enough to take charge of the safety of the entire academy, and it is said that some of his clansmen still want to come and take up a job.
Elena's presence was just a royal co-organizer, and as for Dean Green, it was a pure foil. If you think that the head of one academy will only sit on the same level as the director of the security department in another college, then how "advanced" this college should be.
"Next, I announce that the first Higher Magic Academy in the Azure Continent has officially opened for admission!" Lin Qian shouted a little solemnly.
Elena had been waiting for this moment for a long time, hanging up the firecrackers, far away, blocking her ears and chanting incantations in her mouth.
The crackling sound of firecrackers startled everyone in the audience again, but they soon understood that this was the same celebratory ritual as the "sonic bomb" at the beginning.
As soon as the celebration was over, the door of the academy was pushed open, and a group of people outside the door immediately poured in.
Lin Qian did not clearly limit the number of people to receive in the first year, and he felt that it would be a bit embarrassing if he failed to reach the goal. Unexpectedly, Lin Qian's face turned green soon, because there were too many people, and there were many people from other places who came from thousands of miles to sign up.
You must know that for a magical family, magic is a private weapon, and they are reluctant to hand over the principles of making this weapon to others, so as not to threaten their family status. Therefore, more than fifty years ago, although there was only one academy on the mainland that taught low-level magic, there were still many people who wanted to enter it. Nowadays, there is a high level of magic teaching, and there are many family magic masters, which attracts some people who want to improve their strength.
"That's enough, that's the end of this admission. If this continues, the class will start, and the classroom will not be able to sit down. Lin Qian said with some concern.
"But there are still a small number of people who have not signed up, and I am afraid they will not leave so easily. "Clawson was also under a lot of pressure, managing an agency for the first time, albeit only as a deputy.
"Well, let's register them first, and the rest of the matter will be resolved later. Lin Qian said helplessly.
Now that it was overcrowded, Lin Qian had to find a way to solve the problem of these extra students attending classes. Teacher's words, Lin Qian can ask Elena's royal magician to help, but where is the place, where are there large vacant houses?
"This dean is so young, what is the origin?" Lin Qian suddenly heard a few people chatting.
"Don't you know? he is the president of the Magic Guild who has been very swaggering recently, and two months ago, he led people to destroy the Welsh family!"
……
Wales, Wales! Lin Qian had a flash of inspiration, the Welsh family's previous big courtyard and a large number of empty houses are now uninhabited, why don't you just take it as a branch of your own academy? Anyway, after the sky has changed, you haven't found the eight major formations, so it is better to directly use it as a classroom for some classes!
The number of students enrolled has reached about twice the plan, and Lin Qian thought that it would be better to divide each class into two classrooms, and two teachers teach the same content, only one is here, and the other is on the other side of the Welsh family's courtyard. The two colleges, one in the center of the city and the other in the south of the city, are also convenient for students living in different places to choose their classrooms.
Since it is two branches, it is better for the other branch to be managed by the teacher, this branch is managed by Clausen, and Lin Qian only needs to control the general direction a little.
From morning to evening, all the talents have registered, and more than 11,000 people have been enrolled this time. Just for the tuition fee, Lin Qian earned more than 100,000 gold coins, which is about the same as the assets of Charles's entire family. In addition, the self-selected courses in the future have to pay extra money to listen, and the income of the entire college will be a huge property.
"Okay, let's count the money quickly, and then allocate some of it to the branch school, and quickly get a few classrooms out. It will be a lot of trouble for you to have everything ready before the official start of classes next week. Lin Qian had a headache when he looked at this pile of money, but he didn't expect that he would count the money one day until his hands cramped.
