Greetings, Mister Principal: Funeral

It's a cloudy day.

In the weeping sky, light gray clouds overlap one another, not as cheerful as summer should be.

The town of Sur remains the same, and the townspeople are living their lives unchanged for many years. Everything is like a movie that has been played on repeat, without any change.

On the outskirts of the town, on a hill, the dilapidated tower stood quietly, casting a faint shadow.

On one side of the tower, a peaceful deceased person was lying on a haystack.

Fina's father was wearing a clean mage robe and lying on a blanket, as if he was asleep.

Besides, Fina, Reiner, and Doctor Felice stood, giving the mage a final farewell.

According to the practice of mages, fallen mages must be cremated. This kind of ceremony may be the first time in Sur Town.

Fina approached the haystack and looked at her father with his eyes slightly closed. For a moment, she felt that he was actually just asleep. Maybe the next second, he would wake up and call her name.

But that's impossible.

Fina didn't know what expression to show. She originally thought she was disgusted with her father, or at least indifferent.

But in this man's last moments, what he called with all his strength was his own name.

Fina was silent. She glanced at her father for the last time, then raised her hand. A crimson flame jumped from her fingertips and quickly jumped to the dry haystack. The spark suddenly turned into a fire that spread continuously. The flames ignited the entire haystack.

In the flames, Fina's father was gradually devoured and eventually turned into ashes.

The funeral lasted for a long time, until the last embers were extinguished, Fina seemed to be relieved, fell to her knees and sobbed softly.

From now on, Fina Nabistin has no home to return to.

They packed the ashes properly, put them in a black stone box, and buried them on a hill not far from the tower.

Here you can overlook the entire town of Sur, as well as the vast grassland behind it and the endless mountains of Sur.

There is a tomb on the hill, that is Fina's mother's tomb, and they buried Fina's father next to it.

The tomb is surrounded by nameless flowers, blooming in this midsummer, bright, delicate and full of vitality.

When everything ended, it was already evening.

Fina needed to spend time tidying up the tower. She decided to sell it and leave this land forever.

"This is my father's study. It was here that he was found unconscious. I haven't gone in yet."

In the tower, Fina pointed to a room on the second floor and said.

The door of this room was unlocked and could be opened with a slight push. She and Reiner walked into it and found that it was like an ordinary mage's workshop, with books and magic circle sketches everywhere. , in the center of the room, besides books, there was a half-drunk cup of tea on the huge table, as if Fina's father was not far away, but just taking a short rest.

"Mr. Reiner, I will try to get everything sorted tomorrow."

Fina glanced at the workshop and said to Reiner that she felt that she had delayed Reiner too much time.

"It doesn't matter, let's go and rest today."

Reiner touched Fina's head and asked the girl who was holding on to go back and lie down for a while.

After sending Fina away, Reiner took another look at the things in the workshop and was about to close the door when he caught a glimpse of a pamphlet on the table next to him.

He was stunned and hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking out the booklet.

This is a notebook with a cover made of tanned cowhide. There are still a few faded gilt characters on it, which say the words "Tower of Rainbows" and "Academy".

Reiner took a deep breath and opened it. On the title page, he saw the word "diary" written in straight words.

Obviously, this is the diary left by Fina's father.

This is not a diary that contains records every day, but an entry every few days. Reiner opened it at will and read it.

......

In the year 2296 of the Cang Yue Calendar, it was the Dragon Sleeping Moon, and on the 15th day, there was snow.

It’s really cold today. I bet the Tower of Rainbow hasn’t seen such low temperatures for at least a hundred years. But thanks to this, there are fewer people in the library, and I can finally read quietly. After a while, Lord Braggs's treatise.

I like quiet libraries, but as long as Clark Holland is there, there are always a lot of girls chattering around him. To be honest, I sometimes think that these girls are not here to learn magic. But she is simply here to choose her future husband.

But today, even though the **** was not here, I still failed to study well. Why, because there was another troublesome guy, her name was Teresa or something, and she kept pestering me to ask some stupid questions. Question, what a waste of life!

......

In the year 2297 of the Cang Yue calendar, it was the month of Shenyin. The second day was sunny.

I think I underestimated Teresa’s perseverance. For half a month, whenever I showed up in the library, this guy would fly over to me like a fly, even though the questions she asked recently seemed like Not as silly, but still annoying!

Thinking about it this way, there is more than one girl around Clark Holland, and I can’t help but feel a little sympathy for that guy. ~IndoMTL.com~ In addition, the reason why I didn’t get first place in the last exam was simply because I didn’t want to be sent to do some boring socializing because of my status as first place. I’ll leave this kind of trouble to Clark. .

Oh, that guy is here again, today is the second day of the New Year, why is she so diligent! ? ?

Since she is here, this time I must let her appreciate how beautiful Lord Alberton’s calculus is!

......

In the year 2297 of the Cang Yue Calendar, it was the Moon of Crow's Voice, on the twenty-seventh day, yin.

Today is weird, yes, definitely weird.

Because Teresa didn't come to the library to find me.

You know, this guy has been coming to the library on time every day since the Dragon Sleeping Moon last year, regardless of wind or rain. Today, he was nowhere to be seen until the evening.

Does she finally know the difference between herself and me?

Or maybe something unexpected happened?

Or was he abducted by that guy Clark?

No, my study efficiency today is really poor. Even though Lord Alberton’s formula is so beautiful, I can’t read a word of it. It’s all that guy’s fault! ! !

I have to ask for an explanation!

......

In the year 2297 of the Cang Yue Calendar, it was the Moon of Crow's Voice, on the twenty-eighth day, yin.

Well, I didn’t expect Theresa to be sick. Isn’t it true that idiots don’t catch colds?

In any case, I will not spend my time taking care of this guy. I will become a high-level mage in the future, how can I be held back by such an idiot.

However, it was quite uncomfortable to see her in the hospital bed.

Before going back to the dormitory tonight, would you like to buy some fruit and go see her?
