Greetings, Mister Principal: Birthday preparations
"Principal, I heard you were looking for me?"
Danna knocked on the door. She was wearing the sailor uniform of Crescent Academy, and her body was filled with the beauty of youth. However, there was a slight melancholy in this girl's face, which made people feel a little sad. Protectiveness.
"Sit down."
Reiner pointed to the sofa beside him. He put down the document in his hand and looked at Dana.
"How does the mock exam feel?"
"Uh, sorry, my spell casting failed again."
Since the last magic test, Reiner has not asked Dana about the details of the test. On the one hand, it is because Reiner himself caused a certain amount of commotion, and on the other hand, he also wants to take care of her emotions.
After this memory settled, Reiner found Dana.
"I heard that the spell casting failed and caused an explosion, and even the obsidian slab responsible for the test had cracks."
The expression on Dana's face became a little darker, as if she thought that Reiner was also disappointed with her.
"Sorry, I may have felt proud recently because I thought I had mastered some tricks, so I rashly tried to construct a ring of spells..."
"Dana, do you know what the pass rate is for the magic exam in Ammonai Province every year?"
Reiner suddenly asked, leaving Dana a little unresponsive.
"What?"
"Every year, the number of apprentices who take the magic exam in Ammonai Province is about two hundred. Among them, there are one hundred and seventy who can get passing marks in three theoretical courses, which means a total of one hundred and eighty percent. More than 90% of people, that is, nearly 90% of people can pass the theory test."
Reiner said calmly, these are the data that a principal should master for admission to higher education.
"But in fact, the annual pass rate for the magic exam in Ammonai Province is less than 15%."
That is, only a maximum of thirty apprentices can pass the exam and become official mages. This is only an ideal situation. Based on the data of apprentices who have retaken the exam many times, the apprentices who can pass the exam on the first time should be Less than fifteen.
Listening to Reiner's explanation, Dana still didn't understand his intention.
"Dana, you need to know that you should officially take the exam next year, and you still have one year to consolidate the foundation and prepare for the exam."
Reiner said directly, the data he cited earlier was more convincing than simple comfort.
It's true that Dana didn't do well, but not many people actually did better.
"You have done the best you can. I have received the transcript of the mock exam. You can take a look."
Leiner handed over a list. As soon as Dana heard the report card, her heart began to beat wildly. She stretched out her hand to take the list, but failed the first time. She retracted her hand slightly and squeezed it again. Get that transcript in front of you.
"Mage Code and History of Magic, eighty-seven points, magic runes, seventy-two points, comprehensive magic, sixty-nine points... Magic test, failed, final evaluation, failed... ...."
Failing was expected, but Dana was surprised by her scores in the other three subjects.
The three subjects add up to a total of 228 points. If the magic test is passed with 60 points, it will be 288 points. This is already a pretty good score!
"For your reference, the Magic Academy affiliated with the Rainbow Tower Council is currently the magic school with the strongest comprehensive magic strength. The average magic test score of apprentices who have been successfully promoted in the past three years is 322. points, and the figure for the province of Ammonai is two hundred and forty-five."
In other words, if Dana successfully casts the spell, her score will be far higher than the average score of her province, and she still has a year to continue to improve.
"By the way, you ranked third in Crescent College in this exam."
Leiner said again, the second was Fina Nabistin, with a high score of 357, which ranked first among the others.
The first place is of course Reiner himself. As for the score, he feels that it has no reference significance. It is enough to be promoted.
"This, I thought..."
Dana originally thought that Reiner would blame her for causing such a big commotion due to her failure to cast the spell, but she didn't expect that instead of doing that, he would instead list various facts to comfort herself.
She thought about her parents in a daze. If they had adopted Reiner's education method at that time, would she be different now?
"As I said before, I want to treat you to a big cake on your birthday."
Reiner said suddenly.
"Well, that's right."
Dana recalled the previous agreement between Reiner and herself. In just two weeks, Dana seemed to have spent many years, fulfilling and long.
"Your birthday should be on the second day of the White Dew Month, which is the day after tomorrow, right?"
Reiner confirmed that today is the last day of the Moon of Flooding Fire. From tomorrow on, time will officially enter the Moon of White Dew. This is also the hottest month. Many schools will spend the two months before the magic exam. Summer vacation allows students to review freely ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Crescent College used to have a vacation around the fifth day of the White Dew Moon, which lasted until the end of the summer magic exam. However, this year due to assessment reasons, the summer vacation will be postponed for a few days. .
"Yeah, right."
Danna nodded. At first, she thought that Reiner was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that he actually checked her birthday.
In the past, Dana had never celebrated her birthday. When her parents were still alive, both of them were busy with research, so it would be nice to have a meal together at home on Dana's birthday.
Ever since her parents had an accident, Dana's birthday has become the anniversary of her parents' death. She is sensible and has never asked her uncle Chester to celebrate her birthday.
But now Reiner offered to celebrate her birthday, which really made Dana have mixed feelings in her heart.
Joy, gratitude, loneliness, and entanglement. She doesn’t know whether she has the right to celebrate this day, because in the eyes of her parents who have passed away long ago, Dana is useless. Her birthday should have been the last shackles left by her parents to her. , let Dana remember this day forever.
"Go back and prepare yourself. I will prepare a surprise for you on that day."
Reiner rubbed Dana's head, making her feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if someone had indeed done the same thing before.
But that may be a long-forgotten memory, ambiguous.
"Surprise?"
Dana asked softly, looking at Reiner with a little more confusion in her eyes, but she still left the principal's office obediently.
After the student left, Reiner sat back at his desk, picked up the pen, and started writing a reply.
The title is - To the distinguished Mr. Chester Christian.
