Greetings, Mister Principal: Collapse

"He doesn't deserve it."

This short sentence made everyone present fall silent.

Originally, the mages only conducted research to understand the unknown world at the beginning. When analyzing the nature of the world, they obtained many results, making people's lives more comfortable.

But I don’t know since when, gaining fame and fortune in the secular society has become the ultimate goal of some mages. On the spot, it is understandable to seek a better life for themselves and improve their magic power along the path of their predecessors.

But there are many people who enjoy the achievements of their predecessors and climb to high positions, and while they are enjoying themselves in money and fame, they instead mock those who are still working hard to make the world a better place.

They think it is meaningless, futile, and the behavior of a fool.

You are so talented, why don't you use it to make more money, climb to a higher position, and seek more benefits for yourself, but instead study those questions that may not be answered in your lifetime?

These people ask, but they don’t know that everything they have now is the result of countless people they ridiculed in the past.

So, they don't deserve it.

Percival's face was ugly. He knew that Reiner was referring to him. Percival clenched his fists and trembled slightly.

"...You are just lucky, you have picked up a few research results and published a few papers."

Suppressing his emotions, Percival looked at Reiner and said.

"You have no idea how difficult it is to live in this world. Indeed, mages studying magic is the right path, but mages are also human beings and need to eat and sleep. Do you know how much energy I have spent to be able to live the life I have today? ?"

Faced with Percival's questioning, Reiner remained expressionless and responded coldly.

"Sirius was immersed in his own theory and lost everything. What does this have to do with me? In fact, the application of imaginary numbers was only realized ten years later. At that time, it was a useless Theory, even if Sirius did not propose this theory at that time, today, ten years later, others will propose the same theory."

"But perhaps, if Siris's paper had been affirmed and passed to the High Council ten years ago, the Newington-Holland equations might have appeared ten years earlier."

Reiner's words made Percival look as if he had been choked, and his face turned livid.

"No, Director Percival, I am not criticizing your behavior. After all, in those days, there were very few people who could see the role of imaginary numbers. As an ordinary mage, it is normal for you not to have enough knowledge and understanding. ”

Said in a seemingly comforting tone, Reiner then changed the topic.

"I want to ask about Sirius's death ten years ago."

His words shocked the other judges, and they all turned to look at Percival.

"I met Sirius's mother in the hospital. Then, luckily, because Baifan Hospital was established very early and is a medical place directly affiliated with the Immortal Throne, it has a complete medical record system. After getting the doctor's permission, , I was fortunate enough to see Sirius’s death report and bring it here.”

Reiner took out a document from his storage bag and placed it on the table.

"The report shows that although Sirius's cause of death was failure caused by organ damage, the doctor's examination results tell us that the cause of Sirius's organ damage was not disease, but an external blow, the impact of which was far more severe. It's far higher than what normal people would encounter, it's the effect of magic."

Percival was stunned, looking at the document blankly.

"I learned from some people at the school that Director Percival you once served as an assistant professor at the Astor Academy of Advanced Magic for a period of time. During this period, Sirius often promoted others in the school. Someone has witnessed you having more than one dispute over your own paper."

It was naturally impossible for Reiner to investigate in such detail. He only had some clues, and the rest was his own inference. Of course, the more important purpose of these words was to arouse Percival's emotions.

“Although you have gained the favor of Vice Principal Portordo, are moving forward on the road of magic, and have won the heart of Lady Lysa, and have a happy career, family, and life, there is still a nightmare lurking in your heart. ”

Hearing Reiner's words, a trace of shock flashed across Percival's eyes.

"You look arrogant, but what you fear the most in your heart is Sirius. You are worried that he will suddenly have an epiphany and overturn everything you have worked hard for many years in an instant. Under your seemingly arrogant appearance, you are actually... A heart of extreme inferiority!"

As if a bolt of lightning struck Percival, he stood up, slammed the table, and then roared.

"You don't understand anything at all. I have completely defeated Sirius and taken away everything from him. I am the winner. His ending is his own fault. He was the one who started it..."

Before Percival finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound from the door.

He turned his head and saw his wife Lysa, falling to the ground.

"Lisa...when did you?"

How much of what he just said did his wife hear?

Percival then looked at Reiner, full of anger.

"It's you, you plot against me!!?"

"I just told Mrs. Lysa a little bit about Sirius. The rest is all your own words."

Reiner shrugged. He came to the thesis review committee in advance and it was not just as simple as copying the paper. He also wrote a letter to Mrs. Lysa, informing her of Sirius's condition and asking him to come to the thesis review committee in the morning.

"Lisa, please listen to my explanation..."

Percival was extremely anxious. He did not expect that the life he had worked so hard to manage would be broken by Sirius. That guy would haunt him even after his death.

"Percival, is this true?"

Mrs. Lysa looked very weak~IndoMTL.com~ She had always thought that Sirius was still alive, but now she learned that Sirius was already dead, and the culprit of everything was living with her day and night. husband Percival.

The sweet memories of the past were suddenly stained with blood. She didn't know what else Percival had deceived her, and how sincere he was.

"I..."

Percival was speechless. He felt that the bright and glorious tower in his heart fell apart in an instant and collapsed.

He looked at Reiner. The spell he originally constructed in his hand slowly dissipated. In the end, Percival did not take action. He knew that if he attacked Reiner impulsively, the final result would only be his own ruin.

Lesa cannot live without a husband, and little Akko also needs a father.

"Looks like I'm late."

At this time, a deep voice came from behind Mrs. Lysa, causing Reiner to turn his head in surprise.

A figure wearing a formal gown appeared at the door.
