Meet the principal

"Miss?"

Reiner was confused. He had no romantic debts that would cause women to come to his door in Wagner Lake.

Frederick smiled knowingly and patted Reiner's shoulder gently.

"Talented people are always welcome, but you have to be careful not to indulge in them."

Well, it seemed that he had some misunderstanding about him, and Reiner couldn't explain it, so he had to leave first and follow Andun to the reception room to meet the woman who didn't know where she came from.

Since the meeting had ended for a while, most of the mages had left, and the entire manor seemed a little lonely. The two of them walked in the corridor, their shoes making a crisp sound on the brick floor.

"Mr. Iain Gray, I didn't expect you to win the Hohenheim Gold Cup."

Anton said, feeling a little emotional. On the one hand, he thought that Reiner had gotten away with it. On the other hand, the other party was younger than him, but he had already won the highest award in the alchemy field.

Even if Reiner is indeed a disciple of a certain Excellency as he guessed, then the other person's knowledge far exceeds his own, which really makes An Dun feel inferior.

"But I'm still only a second-level mage. I'm really ashamed."

"Don't say that, Mr. Ferrier, as long as you study hard, you will always achieve something. If it is really a piece of gold, it will always shine."

Reiner slightly changed what he said on Earth, which made Anton stunned.

"Yes, Mr. Braggs also said that truth only lies in persistent efforts."

Anton said as if muttering to himself. He was deeply impressed by Reiner's humility. He came to the door of the living room, opened the door, and guided Reiner in.

"I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, he left, leaving Reiner in the reception room.

He was not alone here, there were several mages sitting in the corner exchanging academic results. When they saw Reiner, the discussion stopped for a moment before continuing.

Reiner quickly found the woman.

Because that's Claire.

The young teacher was wearing a dark brown plaid skirt, small leather shoes, and a beige jacket. Reiner remembered that she had never seen such clothes in her wardrobe. Maybe it was a low-end dress?

She was sitting on a soft chair, looking around uneasily, clenching her hands in front of her chest, looking a bit simple and cute.

Soon, Claire saw Reiner. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before standing up.

"When I woke up, Mrs. Michelle said that you had left Crescent College. I found a ticket on the bedside and followed the instructions on it."

She said, with a hint of anger in her tone.

"You know, you are now the principal of Crescent College. If something goes wrong with you, what will our school do?"

"Uh, sorry...wait, are you worried about me?"

Reiner asked rhetorically, making the teacher a little confused as to how to respond.

"I, I'm just fulfilling my obligation as the dean of students to supervise every move of the principal. If something happens to you halfway, the ownership of the school will be very troublesome. That's all. Don't think too much!"

Stomping her feet, Claire hurriedly defended.

A mage nearby noticed the quarrel between the two, but just regarded it as a small quarrel between ordinary lovers, so Xiaoxiao paid no attention to it.

"Okay, okay, but..."

Reiner raised his hand to indicate that he was just joking. He looked Claire up and down to confirm her physical condition, but in Claire's eyes, it was more like he was judging her dress.

"Mrs. Michelle lent me this. She said it was something she wore when she was young."

Her voice was much softer when she said this, probably feeling a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Michelle's clothes are probably from the fashion that was popular a few decades ago.

Claire may have encountered a lot of ridicule along the way.

"It's pretty good-looking, really. Also, I want to ask if your health is okay?"

Reiner smiled, making Claire puff out her cheeks, it was obvious that she was being teased again.

"No problem! Mrs. Michelle said that as long as it takes a while to restore the magic, it will be the same as before."

"That's good."

Nodding, Reiner seemed relieved.

"Hey, this should be the meeting place of the Mercury Scale. I just heard about the Hohenheim Gold Cup. That should be a very powerful honor."

Claire came closer. It seems that it is a woman's nature to like this kind of anecdotes no matter what world she is in.

"I heard that the person who won the award this time is very young. I'm really envious."

"Yes, he is quite young."

Reiner was stunned for a moment before replying. It seemed that the teacher didn't know that the winner of the Hohenheim Gold Cup was standing in front of him, so he had some thoughts of teasing.

"What's the evaluation of your paper? If the review committee members don't agree with it, we can try to find a senior review committee member..."

Claire added, like a mother worried about her child, chatty but not annoying.

“The evaluation results of the paper are not bad.”

Reiner said calmly without explaining much.

"That's great!"

With a bright expression on her face, Claire clapped her hands, but immediately realized her gaffe and added.

"I'm worried about academic points, you know, we're still fifty points short..."

"Although I don't have a specific opinion yet, I think it should be more than fifty points."

Reiner shrugged and said, according to Frederick, the formal review opinion will be sent to Crescent College in a few days. This is a review opinion co-written by him and several high-level mages.

At the same time, Reiner's paper will be published in the next issue of "Alchemy", ranking first, which should have an excellent effect on the paper being cited. Of course, perhaps after today's meeting, the participating mages will The experiences of these three days will be spread to all parts of the mainland, and Reiner has completely become a celebrity this time.

"Then Crescent College shouldn't have to abolish the school, right?"

Claire asked anxiously, with a little sadness hidden in her eyes.

"We will know when the review committee comes over. We have to hurry up and build the campus during this period. You must know that the school's teaching equipment is also an assessment criterion."

Reiner is not very optimistic. He currently relies entirely on earning academic points, which is not a favorable situation for the school's evaluation. He doesn't know what the review committee's mentality is when they conduct the inspection.

But these are things that need to be considered later, Reiner thought as he turned around and prepared to take Claire away from the manor.

"Where are we going now?"

Claire was unfamiliar with this place, so she could only follow Reiner closely at this time, like a timid kitten.

"Go have a nice meal."

But Reiner's next words made Claire's eyes suddenly light up.
