Greetings, Mister Principal: Happy New Year
It has been snowing all night.
The firewood in the stove was still burning, warming the whole room.
After having enough wine and food, Emilia no longer felt as tense as before. She leaned on the sofa to digest the food, her eyes were slightly closed, and she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Fina took a book and originally wanted to read it before going to bed, but the blood was concentrated in her stomach, making it difficult for her to think. She fell asleep after reading a few pages, and finally had to give up. He stopped reading and started playing with Mrs. Freya.
Claire continued to hold her cup of hot chocolate, and the warmth seeped into her palms through the cup, making her whole body warm.
Reiner sat next to Claire. The dinner plates had already been put away and handed over to the alchemy creature, which did not have a holiday even during the New Year, for cleaning.
He is holding the year-end journal "Truth" in his hand. This issue is a special issue that was just released a few days ago. It is not the latest paper, but a summary of this year's magic progress and the results selected by the High Council. , the top ten papers of the year.
Surprisingly, five of the ten papers were written by Reiner.
The first article is a paper on the electrolysis of water. This paper directly shattered the four basic element theories that mages had always believed in in the past, completely subverting the basis of previous alchemical theories. At the same time, the law of conservation of mass proposed by Reiner was consistent with The law of conservation of elements has become the new basis of alchemy. Since then, the door of elements has been completely opened to mages.
The second article is a paper on the periodic law of elements. This paper reorders the chaotic world of elements. Reiner touched on what may be one of the most essential laws of the world. With this, the mages have crossed over into the macroscopic world. barriers, officially starting the exploration of the micro world.
The third paper is the genetic theory of pea hybridization. If the first two papers are the crystallization of the mages' continuous exploration of the world, then this paper is the mages' exploration of the origin of human beings. It explains to people why this vast world is so colorful and explains the meaning of continuous inheritance of life.
The fourth paper is a paper on the atomic nucleus model. Together with the previous Helios particle ray impact gold foil experiment, this paper revealed the mystery of the atomic structure for the mages. At the same time, using Stein's formula, the atom was The trajectory of the internal electrons is determined, which means that the mages can not only qualitatively understand the mysteries inside the atom without direct observation, but can also directly determine the specific trajectory of the electrons through mathematical calculations.
The fifth article, also at the bottom of the top ten papers of the year, is Reiner's paper explaining the principle of the photoelectric effect. In this paper, through rigorous calculations, bold assumptions, and logical reasoning, he succeeded Explaining the nature of the photoelectric effect and ending the decades-long debate on the wave nature and particle nature of light, the mages have taken another big step forward in exploring the nature of the world.
There are also five other papers on the list, such as the paper on the Newington-Holland equations, and the paper on Siris's formula and imaginary numbers, but no mage like Reiner, who monopolizes five papers. Chapter!
At the end of this journal, the review written by the legendary mage Herman Braggs himself also used the title "Iain Gray's Miracle Year" to commemorate the event brought by Reiner. A legendary year.
"Ha——"
Almiya stretched out, showing off her majestic figure. She picked up the novel she brought and stood up, seemingly ready to go back to her room.
"I'm going to go back to bed first, and I have to clean up for the beginning of the year tomorrow."
"Ah, wait, I'm going back too."
Fina also stopped stroking Mrs. Freya's hand and stood up hurriedly. Their room was just across a short corridor from the lounge, which was very convenient.
"Meow."
Mrs. Freya felt that the hand that had been caressing her was missing. She opened her eyes that were originally narrowed in enjoyment, glanced at Reiner, and quickly followed Fina away.
Leiner and Claire were the only two people left in the huge lounge.
"Aren't you going to bed yet, Claire?"
Reiner put down the journal in his hand and looked at Claire aside.
"Well, I'm not sleepy yet."
Claire curled up on the rocking chair, feeling the warmth of the stove, and said leisurely, and then joked as if she remembered something.
"Hehe, Rainer, you said it before, spending ten minutes in front of the stove feels like an hour has passed, but sitting next to me for an hour feels like only ten minutes have passed, so , now that the two of us are sitting in front of the fire, it will become a normal feeling of time."
"That's true."
Reiner smiled and sighed that Claire really knew how to remember trivial things.
"By the way, I have something to show you."
Claire said, she stood up and naturally took Reiner's hand. The two of them each put on a thick coat and walked out of the lounge.
After twists and turns, Claire took Reiner to the top floor of the Star Observation Tower.
I don’t know when the snow has stopped, and the world is completely silent, even the stars are silent.
Looking up, you can see the night sky shrouded in dark clouds, which is in sharp contrast to the snow-white world. The two left a series of footprints on the top floor and walked side by side.
"Me."
Claire did not look at Reiner, but looked at the silent night sky. She spoke as if telling a long story to the children.
"Unlike Alymiya, who can do everything perfectly, nor like Fina, who is talented in magic, nor like Charlotte, who is proficient in alchemy, can also draw, and even Even Dana can save others when they are in danger, but I am not as powerful as them."
Reiner wanted to say something, but after seeing Claire's expression, he chose silence. He knew that he did not need to comfort the other party.
"Sometimes I feel that if I could be a little more powerful, Reiner would pay more attention to me. Just like those high-level mages, only those who stand on the same level as Reiner are qualified. Stay by your side."
Claire took two steps forward, turned her head slightly, looked at Reiner, and smiled.
“But later I understood that when you like someone, you don’t care about what the other person can bring to you, but you think about what you can bring to the other person.”
She was in a white world, looking like a dream.
"So, Reiner, all I can bring you may be a starry sky."
With her words, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the bright night shone on the earth amidst the colorful stars.
Claire's hands seemed to have a little starlight, making her outline hazy.
No, that is not an illusion, but in Claire's hands, there are indeed stars shining.
As a high-level mage, Reiner could tell what this was at the first sight.
The first-level spell, Star Trajectory, is a simple projection magic that can create images of constellations. It is usually a convenient spell used by astrology mages when performing astrology.
That's it.
Reiner immediately understood.
This Star Trajectory Technique is the one that Claire has engraved into the lake of her heart. It was the spell that she finally succeeded in and was promoted to the first level after failing the exam three times.
In Claire's palm, tiny but still shining starlight illuminated the two of them.
This is the light that Claire tried her best to create.
Some people give a lot, but it is only the tip of the iceberg of what they have; some people give little, but they have already given everything they have.
"Even if I am like this, I still want to stand by your side."
Claire said, her expression more serious than ever.
"Even if I am like this, I still like you."
Leiner was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He didn't answer.
Instead, he took two steps forward, gently took Claire into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed Claire reluctantly.
The moment their lips touched, a universe seemed to be born in it, and countless thoughts converged. In the end, both people calmed down and quietly enjoyed the warmth brought by each other.
In this moment, a moment seems like eternity, and eternity seems like a moment.
After a long time, the lips parted, and Claire lowered her head shyly.
"This is my first time..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a bell ringing in the distance. This was the bell that announced the arrival of twelve o'clock at midnight. It was also the bell that announced the end of one year and the beginning of a new year.
The Moon of Dragon Sleeping ends and the Moon of Divine Hiding arrives.
Legend has it that in the distant past, mages used magic to break the shackles of belief in gods and ignited the fire of civilization for the ignorant world. As a result, the gods withered and disappeared, so ~IndoMTL.com~ New Year's Day The first month is called the month of the hidden gods.
"Ah...Happy New Year."
The sound of the bell reminded Claire of something. She raised her head, looked at Reiner and said, and then added an explanation.
"This is a custom. You must say Happy New Year to everyone you meet during the New Year. This will bring good luck for the year."
Reiner seemed helpless about Claire's somewhat inappropriate topic, but he responded accordingly.
"Happy New Year."
The night seems to be very long.
