Meet the principal

The winter vacation is here as expected, and Crescent College has finally returned to calm after a few days of hustle and bustle.

Different from the summer vacation, the end of the Dragon Sleeping Moon is the New Year. The five-day grand festival will be held throughout the mainland. People also need to return home and reunite with their families, so there are fewer people staying in school during the winter vacation than during the summer vacation. Much more.

Reiner took stock. Apart from Claire and Fina, who live here, there are only Alymiya. Oh, and there is also a cat, Mrs. Freya.

While continuing to develop the magic computer, Reiner was also preparing to follow Lord Isaris Ebdon to explore the ruins later in the year. Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the 30th day of the Dragon Sleeping Moon, which was also the last day of the year. one day.

The snow has been falling. Originally it was just a thin layer of snow covering the grass, but now it can already leave a deep footprint. Even Claire no longer wants to go out to play, but curls up in the house and enjoys the indoor scenery. warmth.

Night fell, but the snow did not stop. In the lounge, the stove was burning, lighting up the room.

On the sofa opposite the stove, Claire was wrapped in a blanket and silk pajamas. She was curled up on the sofa, holding a cup of hot chocolate in her hand, squinting her eyes to feel the beauty.

Next to Claire, a tiger-striped kitten huddled up and slept peacefully.

Next to them, Emiya, who was still wearing a decent long dress, was holding a novel in her hand, reading silently, sometimes falling into thinking, sometimes becoming melancholy, and sometimes unable to help but snicker.

Snow is falling outside the window, but inside the house is warm and cozy, making people easily feel tired.

At this time, Fina walked in with several plates floating around her.

"It's dinner time."

As she spoke, Fina waved her hands, and the tables and chairs in the lounge moved on their own, and soon formed a simple dining table outside the stove. The covered plates around her slowly landed on the table. .

"Ouch——"

Smelling the aroma of food first, Mrs. Freya twitched her tail, got up and stretched.

"Ah, it's food!"

Claire immediately put aside her previous difficulties, stood up immediately, came to the table with her slippers on, and looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table.

In the middle is a roasted chicken filled with rich aroma. Due to traditional customs, the Kingdom of Astor needs to prepare a roasted chicken for this meal at the end of the year, which is counted as the main course, so this is also the highlight of the dinner. .

Surrounding this roasted chicken are all exquisitely prepared dishes, from seafood to steaks, from vegetables to soups, which are no less than top-notch meals in high-end restaurants.

"Mr. Reiner did all this."

Fina added, glancing at the entrance to the lounge.

Reiner walked in just in time, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw Claire's eyes shining.

"I have been researching the ingredients here recently in my free time. I hope the taste will not be too bad."

After all, there are some differences in the ingredients in the two worlds, and many seasonings also need to be distinguished, not to mention that there are magical creatures here. From the taste to the cooking methods, they are completely different from those on earth. Reiner will need a certain amount of time to try them one by one.

But combined with previous recipes,

Reiner quickly found a way to deal with these foods. In the kitchen just now, he used the hands of a mage to cook several dishes at the same time to ensure that each dish was cooked and delivered to the table at the best time.

Everyone sat down around the table. Reiner waved his hand, and the wine bottle floated to the side, and he poured a small glass of red wine for everyone.

"Although drinking is not usually recommended, since today is the end of the year, let's have some fun."

Reiner raised his glass and took a sip. This wine was specially purchased by him from a partner of the Leicester Chamber of Commerce. It was mellow and full of layers. Even a woman who doesn’t usually drink can quickly enjoy it. flavor.

“This year has gone by so fast, I feel like I didn’t even eat anything.”

Claire took a sip of red wine, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she sighed as she looked at the falling snow outside the window.

"You have eaten a lot."

Reiner smiled and signaled that everyone could start enjoying the food. He took some meat, put it on a plate, and pushed it in front of Mrs. Freya.

"Ouch!"

Seemingly satisfied with Reiner's actions, Mrs. Freya barked loudly, licked her paws and began to enjoy the food on the plate.

"This year..."

Emilia was thoughtful and glanced at Reiner. The principal had already fought with a crab regardless of face, and even used magic to peel the crab's shell without any scruples.

Shaking her head, Alymiya elegantly cut off a piece of steak and put it into her mouth. She quickly tasted that it was grain-fed beef from the North. Its meat is tender and juicy, and it is most suitable for cooking like this. It can be seen that, although It seemed like just a simple sumptuous dinner, but Reiner still put a lot of thought into it.

"We have to work harder next year to hit the second ring."

Fina nodded, seeming to cheer herself up.

"Wow, Fina, are you ready to attack the second ring?"

Claire bit off a piece of meat from the chicken leg, swallowed it quickly and exclaimed.

For ordinary people, it is extremely fast to be promoted to two levels within one year. You must know that the average time for mages in the entire continent to advance from the first to the second level is three years, and from the second to the third level. It takes five years. This is simply counting the results of successful advancement. There are more mages who have been unable to advance to the next level for a long time and finally died with regrets.

As for Reiner, there is only one person in history who has been promoted to seven levels in a year and directly became a high-level mage, and it is very likely that no one will surpass him in the future.

Because with the deepening of magic research, mages increasingly feel that their ability to explore the world has reached the limit. In many aspects, even if there is progress, it is just a small step, and feedback from the world is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Mages can only rely on the traditional method of constantly honing their magic skills and meditating to improve their inner lakes to try to advance.

Like Reiner, it will become more and more difficult in the future to advance by subverting existing theories and constantly getting feedback from the world. In fact, many people believe that Reiner will only reach advanced levels at best. , it is extremely difficult to enter the realm of legend.

"Well, I'm ready to engrave the second-level spell into the heart lake. I should be able to succeed after the year."

Fina nodded and secretly glanced at Reiner from the corner of her eye, implying some expectation.

"Although you can advance quickly, it's best to solidify your foundation before trying again. Don't worry, Fina."

After hearing this, Reiner thought about it and said to Fina.

"I see."

Fina nodded and looked out the window.

Snow is still falling.
