Greetings, Mister Principal: Claire’s secret

"How is she?"

Reiner asked, his voice very soft.

"The magic power is exhausted, and the backlash caused by forced cross-level casting has caused some damage to the soul. Fortunately, Claire is still young. After taking the medicine, she only needs to rest for a few days to return to normal. As for the subsequent effects, it is still You have to observe before you can draw a conclusion."

The old lady beside him replied that this was one of the only four remaining teachers at Crescent College, Mrs. Susan Mitchell, who teaches alchemy and necromancy, and also serves as the school's school nurse. It sounded a little strange.

The two of them looked at Claire lying on the bed. The blond woman had her eyes closed and was sleeping quietly. She had just taken the potion prepared by Mrs. Michelle and was in a deep sleep.

This is Claire's room. Compared to a girl's room, it is a bit too plain. It has brown curtains, wooden furniture, bookshelves filled with magic books, and even the bedding is simple gray. When Mrs. Michel was looking for a change of clothes for Claire, Reiner accidentally glanced at her wardrobe. Apart from the mage's robe and a few monotonous shirts, there was not even a skirt in it.

Obviously, this teacher did not spend as much time as she should have in her girlhood. She must have spent her childhood in books.

The only thing that can show the personality of the owner is probably the barbecue-shaped pillow, which makes Reiner curious about how much this teacher likes to eat meat.

"It's fine if there are no big problems."

Leiner nodded. Claire, who was wearing pajamas, lost her usual aura. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary girl. Reiner glanced at Claire's face and looked at the table on the bedside table. silver pendant.

Although he wanted to analyze the spell above, the third-ring spell was still somewhat dangerous after all, so Reiner could only give up for the time being and not commit suicide.

"Claire treats this thing as a treasure."

Mrs. Michel said, seeming quite nostalgic.

"What does the bird above mean?"

Reiner saw that Mrs. Michel seemed to know something, so he asked.

"This is the thorn bird, a bird that is said to have a soul-shaking song, but it only sings once in its life, when it is about to die."

Mrs. Michel's voice was low, and she looked out the window and talked.

"Before dying, a thorn bird will fly continuously in order to find a thorn that belongs to it. When it finds it, the poor bird will plunge into the thorn and sing loudly. , the song goes straight to the soul and shocks people's hearts. When the song ends, the life of the thorn bird comes to an end and eventually falls."

Of course this is just a legend, Mrs. Michel finally added.

It always feels a little unlucky, Reiner thought, recalling that Claire said this was an apology from a noble who had bullied her. It seems that the noble who gave this pendant as a gift was not a good person.

"Let her have a good rest."

Mrs. Michelle said, then left Claire's room.

Reiner sat for a while longer, stood up, and glanced at the bookshelf inadvertently, only to find that several of the books looked a little different.

He walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a thick book labeled "Ancient Potions". However, when the book left the bookshelf, it suddenly fell apart, and several lighter books fell out of it. .

"Huh?"

Reiner hurriedly looked back at Claire. Fortunately, she was sleeping soundly and did not wake up due to the commotion.

Looking at the book in his hand, Reiner realized at this time that the "Ancient Potion Science" was just an empty shell, and the book scattered on the ground was the real thing.

"What is this?"

He bent down and picked up a few of them.

"The Poor Mage", "Tainted with Your Magic Power", "The Young Apprentice of the Domineering Mage".

? ? ?

Why do you feel a little strange?

Reiner opened one of the books out of curiosity, only to realize that it was a novel.

And it’s also a so-called girl’s novel.

The content of these books is very cliché. Basically, the ordinary heroine is lonely, but she meets the favor of an extraordinary mage. This includes amnesia caused by a spell accident, various misunderstandings that cause the two parties to part ways, and a vicious supporting actress who wants to steal the man. The protagonist and other classic plots.

As far as Reiner is concerned, compared to various popular literary works on the earth, the content of this novel is a bit crude, but considering that a theme like the lonely gourmet can become popular in every city, this kind of novel is not Too bad.

It’s just that Reiner may need to revise his opinion. Claire’s girlhood was indeed spent normally.

After putting these books back carefully, Reiner left Claire's room. He hadn't eaten lunch yet and was a little hungry, so he wanted to go to the kitchen to find some food.

Sliding downstairs, Reiner came to the kitchen. Most of the cooking work was handed over to the alchemy creatures. At this time, these alchemy creatures were resting, so at this time, the kitchen was empty.

He came to the warehouse, cut a sausage, cut two slices of bacon, and took an egg.

Light the stove, put a small piece of butter on the pan, put the bacon and sausage in and fry for a while, then add the eggs, sprinkle with a little sea salt and pepper, and it's ready to serve.

Reiner turned around and went to get another piece of bread~IndoMTL.com~ He poured half a glass of cheap red wine, and when he turned around to take the plate, he realized that the familiar tiger-striped kitten had climbed on it at some point. On the stove, licking her paws next to the fragrant food.

"Don't tell anyone else."

Reiner thought for a while and used a knife to cut half a piece of bacon for the kitten. However, the cat sniffed the meat and did not eat it immediately. Instead, he continued to stare at the meat on the plate.

"What else do you want?"

The fork moved over the food on the plate. Reiner saw the kitten's gaze resting on the sausage, so he had to cut off another third of the sausage and put it together with the half piece of bacon.

At this time, the kitten seemed to meow with satisfaction, lowered its head and gnawed on the bacon.

Reiner also picked up the bread, spread it with butter, and quickly finished the piece of bread and the meat and vegetables on the plate.

"Where did you come from?"

After eating and drinking, Reiner asked while petting the cat.

But the kitten didn't seem to understand what Reiner said at all. It just narrowed its eyes and enjoyed Reiner's service. It also turned its head from time to time to let him scratch the other side.

After enjoying enough, the kitten howled again, jumped off the stove, and slipped out through the window.

Leiner also stood up, put the plate in the sink, and left the kitchen.

He wanted to take a walk in the courtyard to eat, but the Alchemy Stone informed Reiner that there was a letter sent to him.

"Is it because the review results of the paper have come out?"

Leiner thought to himself that it had been a few days since he sent the paper. According to the normal progress, it was also time to give feedback on the review opinions of the paper.

But when he opened the letter from Rainbow Tower, what he saw was not the review opinions of the paper, nor was it even an invitation letter from an academic journal.

That's an invitation letter.
