Greetings, Mister Principal: New Year’s Eve dinner
Winter vacation is here as scheduled, and Crescent College has finally returned to calm after a few days of noise.
Different from the summer vacation, the end of the Dragon Sleeping Moon is the New Year. Five days of grand festivals will be held throughout the mainland. People also need to return home and reunite with their families, so those who stay in school during the winter vacation are less likely to Summer vacations are much less frequent.
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 this year. Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the 30th day of the Dragon Sleeping Moon. The last day of the year.
The snow has been falling. Originally it was just a thin layer of snow covering the grass, but now it can leave a deep footprint. Even Claire no longer wants to go out to play, but huddles in the house. Enjoy the warmth inside.
As night fell, the snow did not stop. In the lounge, the stove was burning brightly, 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.
Beside Claire, a tiger-striped kitten huddled up and slept peacefully.
Beside them, Emiya, who was still wearing a 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.
There is heavy snow outside the window, but the room 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 hand, 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 beside her slowly landed. to the desktop.
"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.
Located 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 a dinner party. main dish.
Surrounding this roasted chicken are all exquisitely prepared dishes, from seafood to steaks, from vegetables to soups, which are in no way inferior to top-notch meals in high-end restaurants.
"These are all done by Mr. Reiner."
Fina added, glancing at the entrance to the lounge.
Reiner walked in just in time. 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, hoping that the taste will not be too bad."
After all, there are some differences between 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 the earth. Reiner will need a certain amount of time to distinguish them one by one. try.
However, based on the recipes of his predecessors, Reiner quickly found a way to process these foods. Just now in the kitchen, he used the hands of a mage to cook several dishes at the same time to ensure that each dish was cooked at its best. time to take it out of the pot and deliver it to the table.
Everyone sat down around the table. Reiner waved his hand, and the wine bottle floated to the side. 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 is mellow and rich in texture. Even a woman who doesn’t usually drink can quickly enjoy it. To the charm of it.
“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 flushed slightly, 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..."
Almiya 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. You can see When it came out, although it looked like a simple sumptuous dinner, Reiner still put a lot of thought into it.
"We must work harder next year to hit the second ring."
Fina nodded, seemingly cheering for herself.
"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 advance to two levels within one year. You must know that the average time for mages across the entire continent to advance from the first level to the second level is three years, and from the second level to the second level. It takes five years to reach the third level. This is purely based on the results of successful advancement. There are more mages who have been unable to advance to the next level for a long time ~IndoMTL.com~ and finally ended with regrets.
As for Reiner, there is only one person in history who has risen to seven levels in a row and directly become 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 the world's feedback is getting more and more It is difficult to obtain, and mages can only rely on the traditional method of constantly honing their magic skills and meditating to improve the inner lake to try to advance.
Behaviors like Reiner's that rely on subverting existing theories and constantly getting feedback from the world to advance will become more and more difficult in the future. In fact, many people believe that Reiner will stop at most. At a high level, it is extremely difficult to enter the realm of legend.
"Well, I'm ready to engrave the second-level spell into the lake of my heart, and 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 know."
Fina nodded and looked out the window.
Snow is still falling.
