Greetings, Mister Principal: Everyone has their own quirks
"How was yesterday's dinner?"
The next day, it was not until lunchtime that Igor approached Reiner and continued to inquire about tidbits from him.
"It's hard to put it into words..."
Liner looked at the mutton stew in the bowl, and recalled the fear of being dominated by the bowl of Stanley beetroot soup yesterday.
"Although the other dishes tasted good, one of them was so horrific that honestly, it's a miracle I'm alive to see the sun today."
He said exaggeratedly, making Igor's eyes widen.
"It's true. I've heard before that although Director Percival's wife is very beautiful and virtuous, she often has accidents when it comes to cooking, especially when making new dishes."
Explaining, Igor dipped the bread in his hand into the gravy on the plate and put it into his mouth.
"When this organization was first established, we were invited by Director Percival to visit his home. At that time, her wife also cooked a new dish. Oh, it was really hard to recall. For a moment, I even thought that a powerful curse had been placed on that dish!"
As he spoke, he had a frightened expression on his face, as if everything in the past was still vivid in his mind.
"However, Director Percival dotes on his wife very much. No matter how horrible the cooking is, he will eat it without missing a drop. As for their daughter, she seems to have inherited her mother's strong taste and doesn't care at all. Those weird smells."
After hearing Igor's explanation, Reiner suddenly realized that no wonder yesterday's scene made him feel that his sense of taste had failed. It turned out that among the four people present at that time, only Reiner was a normal person!
"Director Percival comes from an ordinary magic family. It seems that his grades in school were only above average. It is really great that he can marry Miss Lysa, the daughter of the vice-principal of Astor Academy of Magic. It's luck. It seems that it was during that time that Director Percival's magic strength continued to improve, and he finally reached today's level."
Igor said with some envy that he was still single so far. He didn’t even have a girlfriend, let alone a wife. Igor often laughed at himself like a lonely old dog, but Reiner didn’t tell him. , in fact, most stray dogs can find partners.
"He did say yesterday that Mrs. Lesa's father is a professor at the school, but unexpectedly he is the vice principal."
Liner took a bite of the stewed mutton that was extremely soft. The meat had no mutton smell at all. The flavor of the spices penetrated into every inch of the meat, bringing an extremely rich taste enjoyment.
"Although I say I am envious, I am really envious in my heart."
Igor sighed. At this time, his somewhat hunched colleague Savros came to the restaurant. However, he did not go to get food. Instead, he took out a square iron box that had lost its metallic luster from his pocket. .
Reiner saw him opening the iron box. Inside were a few slices of shriveled bread and tasteless stew, but Savros picked up the bread and ate it with relish.
There is obviously free food in the restaurant, but he still insists on eating what he brought?
Noting Reiner's doubts, Igor followed his gaze and saw Savros' strange behavior.
"Oh, he's always been like this."
Whispering, Igor used his all-pervasive gossiping ability again at this time.
"Safros is not very familiar with those of us. He is quite independent. It is said that he was one of the editors of an academic journal before, but because he did not get along well with his colleagues, he has been excluded. This Entering the thesis review committee for the first time can be regarded as escaping from the past environment."
"You know again..."
Reiner shed a drop of cold sweat, where did Igor get these gossips?
"He seems to have been working on his own research project. It's the one you've seen made with a lot of cards. I don't know what it is. It seems to be useless anyway."
Igor added, then put the last piece of bread in his hand into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Reiner glanced at Savros, who was eating the food he brought expressionlessly, and didn't ask any more questions.
He just felt that the people in this paper review committee were really weird guys.
......
In the next two days, Reiner continued to work according to normal hours. The tasks he was responsible for were very simple. As Director Percival said, it was such an easy job as integrating the review opinions of the papers from various review committees. It's easy to get used to it, and it only takes one morning to complete the day's work.
According to Igor, after completing the work, the remaining time can be freely used, as long as you can find someone at any time in this manor.
Reiner naturally spent his time studying. There is a library in the manor. Although the number of books in it is not as good as that of a regular library, there are all kinds of books about magic from various factions. Reiner just happened to bring it. Reference.
He has already engraved the second-ring magic explosion in the heart lake. At the same time, he has basically become proficient in constructing the third-ring spell after many contacts. As long as he finds the right time, he can try to inscribe a third-ring spell into it. In the heart lake, I touched the ceiling of a low-level mage.
However, the choice of this spell troubled Reiner.
Originally, he could follow the previous idea and continue to upgrade the Explosive Flame Technique to the third ring. If I remember correctly, there is Pluto's Explosive Flame Technique in the third ring, which is an improved version of the second-level standard Explosive Flame Technique. The efficiency of spell casting has increased the destructive power. If nothing else happens, Reiner should choose to engrave this spell to upgrade himself from an explosive to a stronger explosive.
But after reading some books about combat, Reiner changed his mind.
Spells engraved in the heart lake can be released immediately without chanting and preparation time, which is very convenient. Take the second-ring explosive flame spell as an example. If it is not engraved into the heart lake, the time to release this spell from scratch is the shortest. The record is 5.68 seconds, which was set by the legendary mage Carl David who was good at fighting when he was in the seventh ring. ~IndoMTL.com~ But if it is engraved in the heart, the time from activation to release will not exceed one second. In the ever-changing battle, this gap is significant.
If Reiner continues to inscribe the Explosive Flame Technique, then he will only have one spell that can be released quickly, which is not beneficial from various perspectives. At least, Reiner needs to add another offensive method. means.
Before, Reiner felt that he might not be exposed to combat for a while, but after the **** wedding of the Albiore family, Reiner had a vague hunch that he might face one in the near future. Although the challenge was predicted using astrological magic, Reiner received too much feedback from the world, so the road ahead was foggy.
Reiner has never believed in fate, but in this world full of mysterious powers, it is better to be careful.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Reiner made a bold decision.
Relying on his abundant magic power and mastery of spell models, Reiner read various information and finally decided to create his own three-ring attack spell and engraved it in his heart.
