Meet the principal

Many of these students have heard of Reiner's name, but their sources of information are different.

Most students who come from the magical world have heard of the name of the youngest Hohenheim Gold Cup winner in history. Without a deep understanding of the magical world, the name of this award winner is quite shocking. Not to mention that since the bloody wedding of the Albiore family, some parents often use scare tactics such as "If you don't sleep, I will ask Iain Gray to blow your head off" to urge their children to sleep. Reiner's name has been circulated. wider.

The other part, children from noble and merchant families, they have more contact with the Iain Gray family, a business empire that spans several countries on the continent. Although it seems invisible at first glance, if you look closely, you will find that daily life There is a shadow of Iain Gray in every aspect of the family. Maybe your soap is produced by a certain alchemy workshop, but the raw materials of the soap come from a certain manor of the Iain Gray family. In this way, they have a deep understanding of this Iain Gray family. The school that the third son is in charge of is also a little more curious.

At this time, Reiner stood on the podium, looking at these students with different backgrounds and identities, but they were all sitting in front of him. He felt a little sad. The reason why he wanted to teach them the first lesson was that he was originally a The habits of high school teachers, on the other hand, are also due to the need to better convey their educational concepts.

The students did not dare to speak and stared at Reiner timidly, waiting for his scolding.

But Reiner didn't speak. Instead, he picked up the chalk and wrote a sentence on the blackboard.

Why study?

After writing, he put down the chalk and patted the chalk dust on his hands. Of course, Reiner could use the hands of a mage to do it for him, but in order to deepen the impression of these students, he still did it himself.

The cursive calligraphy written in the Common Tongue was beautiful, but the question went unanswered.

Reiner looked at the silent students, as if he was back in high school. He slowly walked to the podium and knocked on the desk of a girl sitting in the first row.

"May I have your name?"

He asked. This girl had beautiful dark blond curly hair. Although she had some freckles on her face, she looked lively and cute.

"My name is Hathaway, Hathaway Lackford."

She replied, her voice soft but her words clear.

Lackford comes from a magical family. Her parents also hold public offices in the Magic Association and are regarded as magical civil servants in this world.

"Hathaway,

What is your purpose in learning magic? "

Reiner asked, causing the child to bite his lower lip lightly and fall into thinking. After a while, he answered.

"As long as you can become a mage, you can work in the Magic Association... This is what my father told me."

Obviously, at only thirteen years old, even though she was influenced by her parents every day, she did not have too deep contact with the magical world. In her opinion, it was always right to work in the direction of her parents.

"What job will you do after joining the Magic Association?"

When asked, Reiner thought that no matter which world he was in, civil servants were still quite popular.

"this......"

Little Hathaway was speechless. She was very troubled, looked a little anxious, and was about to cry.

"It's okay, just sit down first."

Reiner didn't want to have the reputation of making his students cry on the first day of school. Anyway, his goal was achieved, so he didn't ask any more questions, but continued to walk forward and looked at a man sitting in the back row. student.

"what your name?"

The student's long dark brown hair was tied up behind her head, and she even wore light makeup. She was quite mature. She had a bracelet inlaid with jewels on her wrist, which was very luxurious.

"I am Asilua from the Heidegger family."

Baron Heidegger made a lot of money from the inheritance of his family. Like other nobles, he sent his daughter to the world of magic. As for whether his daughter could become a mage, it was very important to him. It doesn't matter.

Ashluya, who has grown up in the social circle since she was a child, is naturally more mature.

"What's the purpose of coming here to learn magic?"

Reiner asked. The girl nodded and continued.

"Once you are exposed to magic, you can be exposed to the magical society. As the daughter of a baron, I must maintain a good relationship with the mages for the future development of the territory."

Her answer surprised Reiner, but then he said again.

"If it were not as a baron's daughter, but just from a personal perspective, would you come to learn magic?"

This unexpected question made Asilua speechless for a moment. She hesitated to speak, but she still couldn't form words, so Reiner asked her to sit down too.

After that, Reiner asked the remaining students, which was used as a simple self-introduction. Some of them were because of the admonitions from their families, and some were due to their parents’ expectations. However, Reiner did not hear that he Wanted answers.

During this process, Alymiya and Fina also came to the back of the classroom to listen. This is the learning process as a teacher. When they heard Reiner's inquiry, they realized something, and when they saw these students, they also revealed their emotions. A slightly helpless expression.

After asking the last student, Reiner returned to the podium. Faced with these confused students, Reiner said.

"Just now, we have discussed this question, why do you want to study? Everyone's answer is different, but whether it is for the family's industry or for the expectations of your parents, it can be simplified to one answer, that is, you are studying for others. study."

Learn for others.

This sentence gave these inexperienced children a sudden sense of enlightenment, as if it awakened them in their ignorance.

"Of course, the initial motivation for studying is always for others, to please your parents, to prove that you are better than others, and to avoid punishment for poor grades. But if this state continues, I dare say that it will be difficult for you to become a As a formal mage, even if you are lucky enough to be promoted, it will be difficult to move on."

Reiner's words sounded quite terrifying, making several students feel a little uneasy.

"Why? Because if a person who studies for others loses the supervision of this 'other', he will lose his goal and sink. Everything he does is to get recognition from others, and he eventually forgets his own pursuit."

In high school on Earth, teachers often told students that everything would be fine when they get to college. Many students worked hard to get into college, but abandoned their studies because they lost their goals, and ended up feeling depressed.

Reiner didn't have this idea until after graduating from college. Sometimes the most difficult thing for people is not how to live, but not knowing what kind of life they want. This is all the time, in order to meet the expectations of parents and family And the result of continuous learning.

"You may not be able to fully understand these words for the time being, but as a principal of a magic school, I have two things to tell you in your future learning of magic. The first is not to learn for others. Please study in order to improve yourself and enrich yourself.”

Reiner paused and continued.

"Second, finding the way forward is sometimes even more important than moving forward." 8)
