Meet the principal

Life at the seaside is always happy and short-lived. After spending three days on the beach of Sofitel, everyone reluctantly got on the train back to the city.

Before going back, the relevant investigators from the Magic Association rushed to North and made some notes on the issue of the hot spring penguin. Because of Reiner's name, they did not take the penguin away by force, but made a record and then made any report. Disposed by Lena.

From the penguin's body, these investigators detected some special substances and quickly traced its source to a cargo ship in North Port.

This cargo ship was owned by the Beruk Chamber of Commerce. Investigators quickly launched an investigation and unexpectedly revealed a black industry chain for smuggling and selling rare creatures.

Reiner didn't care much about this. He just wanted to find out if there was any family member of this penguin. But unfortunately, there seemed to be only one hot spring penguin on the ship. It might be because Pepe was too young that he was caught by the hunter. Its parents may still be looking for their children in Stanlia in the far north.

Reluctantly, Reiner could only bring it back to Crescent College.

Reiner took the user manual, prepared all the raw materials, put them in the storage room of the animal pen, and then poured the hot spring water from Sofinite Villa into a sink.

The hot spring water flowed in along the water outlet of the sink, forming a small vortex. Soon, I felt a surge of magic, and warm water poured into the compartment divided into four parts of the animal pen.

It was arranged like a hot spring bath, with a bathtub made of smooth stones and some small decorative items. It was isolated from the other three areas. There was only one passage that allowed Pepe to get through from the next door.

Although it was a bit luxurious, Reiner still felt that converting part of the animal pen into a hot spring bath and being able to soak in the hot spring as he pleased on weekdays would be more enjoyable than anything else!

Due to the differences between men and women, Reiner also specially separated a small area as his own private bath, entering from the other side, eliminating the possibility of such a blushing and heart-pounding scene.

Peipei is no longer afraid of people. According to the inspection by the relevant professional mage, she is a female penguin, healthy and well-developed. Since coming to the pen, she has often soaked in the hot springs to enjoy life, and also interacted with those who came to soak. The girls in the hot spring are playing and having fun, which is really enviable.

However, whenever Claire comes here, Pepe always hides in the corner, seeming to feel instinctive fear.

It's probably an instinctive fear of predators.

At the end of summer,

The new semester of Crescent College has finally arrived.

This semester will last from the month of Izumo (July) to the month of Starfall (October), followed by two consecutive months of winter vacation, and will not start again until the spring at the end of the year.

This year, four students from Crescent College graduated. Among the graduates, Fina, who became an official mage, and Alymiya, who is preparing to take the magic test at the end of the year, both stayed in the school as assistant teachers, while the other two returned home. Meet your own life.

There are twelve freshmen, which is a huge improvement compared to last year's three, but compared to those prestigious schools, it is still only a fraction.

But this is already a breakthrough. At least Crescent College has not been abolished and is gradually improving.

In fact, there are advantages to having a small number of students. Lena can develop teaching plans more tailored to local conditions, so that each student can have a learning plan that suits them and improve faster.

In schools such as Brooklyn and Phoenix, because there are too many students, teachers mostly adopt a competitive approach, dividing students in the same grade into different classes according to their scores, and then reclassify them according to their scores after each test. The more advanced the class, the smaller the number of students, and the greater the teacher's investment. The more advanced the class, the larger the number of students, and the less energy the teacher allocates to each student.

If things go on like this, it is easy for some students with insufficient skills to keep up with the team and end up staying in their own class, while a small number of students can gradually move up through talent and hard work.

This teaching method resulted in the magic test results of both schools being quite excellent. After all, by the graduation year, most students had given up taking the magic test, and a small number of top students who took the magic test naturally achieved excellent results.

In the eyes of outsiders, Brooklyn and Phoenix are prestigious schools with extremely high passing rates for magic tests, and perfect publicity effects. However, from the perspective of people like Reiner who understand the strangeness, for those with excellent grades, this is a ladder to the top. , for people with poor grades, this is a dark abyss.

At the opening ceremony, Reiner delivered a speech by the principal. At the same time, just like before, he asked the freshmen to think about the purpose of their studies and write them down.

These new students are only twelve or thirteen years old, and most of them are the daughters of magic families or minor nobles. In their lives, future planning seems to be an issue that they have never considered. As long as they follow the instructions of the adults step by step, they will be able to Gain a satisfying life.

However, even though they were confused, these freshmen honestly used their imaginations and wrote down some wishes. Looking at these wishes in the office, Reiner seemed to see his students from a few months ago, and he couldn't help but reveal his emotions. Smile.

Dong dong dong——

At this time, a knock on the door brought Reiner back to his senses. He saw Emilia wearing a teacher's robe standing at the door holding several documents.

"Principal, you said before that you have to take the first class of the new students by yourself. It's almost time now."

She said, while placing the documents in her hands in different areas of the desk according to categories, and putting away the documents that Reiner had reviewed before, like a competent secretary.

"thank you, I know now."

Reiner didn't care about Emiya's somewhat cold attitude. Although this student always liked to ridicule Reiner, he was meticulous in his work and quite trustworthy.

If only I could smile more.

Reiner still remembered the smile of Emilia that he saw in the Albiore Manor. It was really unforgettable, but except for the time at the beach before, Emiya had never smiled at him. No. , even at the beach, she was not smiling at Reiner.

As a principal, he naturally has the responsibility to keep his students and subordinates in a happy state of life. While thinking about how to change his image in Emilia's heart, Reiner walked through the corridor of the tower and came to the classroom. inside.

This is a small classroom. In the classroom, twelve freshmen are sitting on chairs. Most of them don't know each other, and they are looking at Reiner with some anxiety.

After looking around the classroom, Reiner spoke.

"Hello, classmates, I am the principal of Crescent College, Rainer Ingle."
