Chapter 5.1: Crisis
"Cola?" "Funding?"
Professor Claire and Sharon asked at the same time. Obviously, the two focused on two different things.
"Yes, Cola. As for the financial issue..."
Reiner didn't say it directly, but glanced at Professor Claire.
"Go ahead, anyway, at the morning meeting next week, everyone will know."

The young dean shrugged, making Sharon confused.
Reiner nodded and began to explain.
"In fact, Sharon, this academy may be abolished soon."
Sharon didn't react to these words at first, but soon she understood the meaning of the word "abolished".

"Wait, wait... what does it mean abolished?"
Sharon still asked. She wanted to know why.
For the first time, she could express her idea freely. But then this happened. Why?
"You can also feel that most of the teaching facilities of Luna Nova Magical Academy have been abandoned, and there are fewer and fewer new students enrolled every year. There are only three people in this term, and the college’s rating has stayed at the ninth level for many years. This is a dangerous signal."
As Reiner said, the information in his memory also kept emerging.
Luna Nova Magical Academy had a history of nearly a thousand years. It was supposed to be an elite aristocratic magical academy, but the reason why it was easily bought by Reiner was not that he was the third son of Ian Gray’s family, but because this school was indeed The school was on the verge of being abolished.
For one hundred years of poor management, many academy facilities have been abandoned, the number of enrollment has been declining each year, and the rating has dropped to the lowest level - the ninth level. If they failed the qualification examination, then the Luna Nova Magical Academy would be immediately abolished. Rainer was currently in such a predicament.
If the academy was abolished, not only would all the funds of Reiner be squandered, but also there was no place to take him in. Even food would be a problem for him. You have to know that it was only a month after their brothers left the family.
"In three months, Luna Nova Magical Academy will undergo the qualification test of the High-level Magic Council. If the most basic teaching conditions are not met, then the lowest-rated academy would be abolished. Luna Nova Magical Academy will become history. Existing students will be distributed to other academies, and according to the current situation of the academy, the probability of passing the qualification test is zero."
Professor Claire added, looking rather helpless.
"Then what do we do..."
Sharon was at a loss. She was just an ordinary mage apprentice, and she didn't understand any qualification tests and academy ratings. She only knew that she didn't want this academy to close down and separated from her friends.
Professor Claire shook her head. She grew up in the academy since she was a child. For Claire, an orphan, this academy was her home. She didn't want this academy to close down more than everyone else, but the fact was that she had no choice.

"In fact, I have been looking for a way to save the academy recently, and today, I finally discovered this opportunity."
Reiner lied. In fact, he just thought of this plan.
"That's the drink in front of you."
Sharon didn't understand. The drink called Cola was indeed delicious, but how did it become an opportunity to save Luna Nova Magical Academy.
Reiner nodded, and immediately explained the two problems faced by Luna Nova Magical Academy.
First, Luna Nova Magical Academy needed money.
As a famous academy with a long history, many facilities of Luna Nova Magical Academy were actually very useful, but they had no money to maintain, so they were abandoned. If they wanted to improve the comprehensive strength of the college, making money to repair the campus, sourcing materials was the quickest way.
As for how to make money, Reiner believed that Cola, a drink that had created miracles on the earth, would not let him down. He only needed to find a factory to process it and then use some method to sell it.
The second point was about the criteria of academy rating.
In this world, the rating system of the Magical Academy was based on the points system. Points could be obtained through various academic competitions and research results. The easiest way was to publish a paper by a professor or student in the academy.
At the same time, if this paper was cited by others, it would also get corresponding points, so publishing an original paper could bring a lot of points, and academic points were also a big indicator of the qualification test and could be counted as the biggest difficulty faced by Luna Nova Magical Academy.
After all, there were very few people in Luna Nova Magical Academy who could publish papers in regular journals every year, and their academic points of this year were zero.
Therefore, Reiner’s idea was to use his ideas from the earth to concoct some shocking academic papers, earn points and improve academic achievements, while applying some alchemy products to earn money to support the academy's construction.
And the first paper was obviously an oxidation theory paper that would overthrow the fire element theory.
Reiner believed that science and technology were the primary productive forces.
After listening to Reiner's words, the two ladies were silent.
Claire never knew that Reiner had such a detailed plan, and from the current point of view, the feasibility was very high. Originally, she thought Reiner was just a spoiled nobleman, but now it seemed that as the third member of the Ian Gray family Son, the principal wasn't all that useless.
The impression of Reiner in Sharon's mind improved even more. Her father's authority in the family was very high and he controlled almost all Sharon's choices. However, coming to Luna Nova Magical Academy was one of the few choices she made. Sharon had a strong sense of belonging to this academy, so her impression of Reiner naturally improved a lot when she heard a perfect plan to save the academy from him.
"I will implement the plan in the next few days, so I may need to go out and find a factory that can process Cola, Professor Claire, I hope you can give me the formula of this potion."
Claire didn't refuse when she heard Reiner's words. The potion was of no use except for curing her own illness. If it could be used to save the Academy, she would not have any hesitation.
"As for Miss Sharon, I hope you can help me complete the thesis together. At the same time, I will sponsor you to learn alchemy with academy funds. Since this experimental phenomenon is discovered by you first, the author of the paper will also have your name on it. If my guess is right, you may become the youngest academic paper author ever."
Reiner's words made Sharon's eyes shine, and she was completely stunned.
