Greetings, Mister Principal: Letter of invitation

Set the time forward a few hours, and it is located in the town of Griffin in the west of the kingdom.

Hans is the editor-in-chief of "Monthly Alchemist Griffin". The reason why their journal has such a unique name is entirely because Hans was obsessed with something when he founded the journal. The novel was originally called "Monthly Witch Nozachi". I registered this name as soon as I slapped my head. By the time I regretted it, it was already too late.

Despite this unfair name, the fate of this journal was not smooth. Sales could not increase and there were only a few contributors. Every month when the publication date was approaching, Hans had to try his best to attract people. Writing a manuscript to fill enough space can be said to be physically and mentally exhausting.

It’s the middle of the month, and Hans doesn’t need to be so anxious yet, but there are only three truly new papers that can be published this month, and most of the rest are repeated verification papers. There are many such papers. In this case, it is just a different kind of substance to conduct the same experiment, without any innovative significance, it is just repeated work.

"Alas."

Just when Hans let out a long sigh and felt that there was nothing he could do, the teleportation circle on his desk flickered, and a paper appeared there with a note inside.

"Hey, what is this?"

Hans picked up the paper first. The title was very long, but also very clear.

"Discussion on special gases generated in limestone heating experiments and research on several issues in traditional combustion reaction theory".

As soon as he saw this title, Hans felt his heart throb, and he realized the difficulty behind it.

He picked up the note again, and the familiar words on it made Hans couldn't help but smile.

"This guy really means what he says."

The content on the note was very short, asking Hans to send a letter of invitation to the author after reading the paper, but the letter was written by his friend Angele, who did not support Hans's establishment of an academic journal.

Although he said that running a journal was a dead end, whenever Hans fell into deadline hell, Angele would always send a paper in time to save him, and a certain tacit understanding was formed between the two. .

"I remember that guy Angele seemed to be serving as a review committee member recently, so it seems that he reviewed this paper?"

In doubt, Hans opened the paper.

Many years later, when Hans was interviewed and asked what it was like to see that paper for the first time, he could still clearly recall that what he felt during that leisurely afternoon was no less than The shock of being exposed to magic for the first time.

Time passed quickly. An hour later, Hans closed the paper. He did not do the verification experiment, because Angele's note was the best proof.

If Angele had not verified it himself, he would not have recommended this paper to Hans.

"Then the author is...Linard Ian Gray?"

Hans was a little confused. Isn't Iain Gray from that extremely rich family? How could he still be an academic?

Putting aside this doubt, Hans found the contact address at the end of the paper.

"Crescent Academy, I remember it was a magical girls' school in a nearby province. It's strange, don't they never accept boys?"

Hans subconsciously thought that Reiner was a student of Crescent College. He still remembered that when he was a student, Crescent College was a relatively famous magic school, but it was not famous for its teaching quality, but because it only accepted girls. Everyone, including teachers, principals and even dormitory administrators, have female characteristics and have become the objects of delusion for countless boys.

He admitted that when he was an ignorant student, he once imagined that he would come to Crescent College for some special reasons, become the only boy there, embrace everyone, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Shaking his head, Hans hurriedly found a piece of parchment, picked up a quill, and began to write a letter of invitation, and then handed it to the owl for delivery. If everything goes well, it should be delivered to Crescent College this evening.

"I can only hope that no one else has noticed this paper yet."

Hans murmured to himself, watching the distant owl gradually disappear on the other side of the horizon in the setting sun of the afternoon.

......

While Hans' owl was still soaring in the sky, heading towards Crescent College, thousands of miles away in the Rainbow Tower, Garen was sitting in his office, seemingly waiting for something.

Dong dong dong——

There was a knock on the door, and then a slightly thin old man walked in.

The old man has sparse hair, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle. He wears a loose robe with six golden edges on the cuffs, which is the symbol of a six-ring mage.

Sixth Ring Mage is already the pinnacle of mid-level mages, and beyond that, there are those high-level mages who can be called "Your Excellency".

"Gallon, where is the paper?"

The other party didn't even say hello and asked directly.

"Here, Mr. Fleming."

Garen stood up quickly, gave up his seat, and handed the paper to the old man respectfully.

The old man known as Fleming sat down and opened the paper.

Garen was a little uneasy, his palms were sweating, and he was worried that his teacher would be counterattacked by magic. After all, Fleming was a master in the field of alchemy. He had made many achievements under Master Hohenheim's theory, and he should also have a profound influence on modern alchemy. As a person who firmly believes in technical theory~IndoMTL.com~, I don’t know how I will react when faced with such a paper.

However, Fleming acted much calmer than Gallon expected. When he turned the last page, the old mage breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.

"You have done the verification experiment, are you sure it is correct?"

"Yes, teacher, but I don't know if it is..."

Before Gallon finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fleming raising his hand.

"Actually, several of us have been exploring this issue."

Fleming's words stunned Garen.

Has his teacher been trying to overturn the combustion theory?

"Hohenheim's fire element combustion theory is great, but it cannot explain many problems. For this reason, several of our Excellencies at Mercury Balance have put forward many conjectures and hypotheses, but none of them have been confirmed."

Fleming said calmly.

“For example, the mass increases after burning. We now usually think that the fire element has negative mass, so the object will increase in mass if it loses the fire element.”

Glancing at the paper, Fleming continued to explain.

"Just like the experiment in this paper, combustion actually absorbs the fire element into the limestone, so the mass of the limestone will decrease after it turns into white rock, and the extra special gas should be the loss of the fire element The air will block combustion. We will publish a paper on this theory in this issue of "Alchemy". It is normal for the author to not understand it."

"That's it, teacher, you are really smart."

Hearing Fleming's explanation, Galen immediately felt enlightened, and the dark clouds that had previously enveloped him suddenly disappeared.

Only Fleming glanced at the author of the paper again and frowned slightly.
