Greetings, Mister Principal: Feina’s leave request

Just when Reiner was worried about being unable to solve the problem of isotope separation, the results of the school's rating were also issued.

The review report submitted under Lorente's "operation" was very beautiful, coupled with the sufficient number of academic points earned by Reiner alone. In the end, Crescent College was graded as level eight this year. This is a combination of It reflects the degree of construction of the campus, the number and quality of students, and the results obtained by academic standards.

In fact, Lainer doesn't expect more. After all, if he jumps too high all of a sudden, he will fall even worse if he fails to meet the conditions for relegation the next year.

After that, unless Reiner makes a written application to improve the school's grade, you only need to submit a report every year. The Magic Association will be able to maintain the current grade after checking the basic conditions such as academic points. If you want to upgrade, you have to Like this time, accept the investigation of the review committee.

But Reiner doesn't need to worry too much for the time being.

Because summer vacation has begun.

Except for the sixth grade students who are facing the magic test, students in other grades have left the campus and returned to their homes. The summer vacation lasts until the first day of Izumo Moon (July). On this day, autumn arrives. , the second half of the school year also officially begins.

In the past few days, Crescent College has become a lot more deserted. The students have gone home one after another, making the originally noisy cafeteria quiet. However, except for Mr. Hawkins, who is on leave, all the teachers live in the school. , life has not changed much.

On the second day after the students had almost finished leaving, Fina Nabistin came to Reiner's office.

"Principal Ian Gray, I would like to take a leave of absence and go home."

Fina had originally applied to stay at school to review during the summer vacation until the magic test was over, but she suddenly submitted a leave application to Reiner.

"What's wrong?"

Leiner took the application and saw that the reason above was "family reasons", so he asked.

"My father...he..."

As if debating whether to tell Reiner, Fina hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"My father's condition has become serious and I need to go back to take care of him."

She felt a little sad when she said this.

There is only half a month left before the magic test. If Fina returns to her hometown to take care of his father, it means that she will most likely not be able to catch up with the magic test.

Of course Fina can choose to take the exam again the next year, but this year she should go through the graduation procedures. Preparing for the exam alone at home for a year is a test both physically and mentally.

A guy like Claire who can stay at school until he passes the exam can only be said to be the favor of the former principal.

Seeing Fina's embarrassment, Reiner thought about it and said.

"Go back, don't worry about the exam, father's health is more important."

"Well..."

Fina nodded absentmindedly and was about to leave when she was stopped by Reiner again.

"Wait a minute, I'm not worried about you going home alone. Let me go with you to see your father. Just treat it as, uh, a home visit."

Reiner added that he vaguely felt that the girl in front of him was not in the right mood, so he suggested this.

"Huh? But..."

A little panic appeared on the originally indifferent face. Fina wanted to refuse, but Reiner spoke again.

"You have the best grades among the students in this class. I have the responsibility to help you pass the exam smoothly. As long as you are still a student of Crescent College, I have to take responsibility for you."

Fina couldn't find any words to refute, so she could only nod silently and agreed to Lena's home visit.

Early the next morning, after sending off the last student who went home, Reiner and Fina took a carriage to Prest.

Originally Claire wanted to follow him, but Reiner thought the school needed someone to watch over him, so he left her at Crescent Academy.

Fina's hometown is located in the small town of Sur in the southern part of the kingdom. It is a remote town two hundred miles away from Prest. It is located at the foot of the Sur Mountains on the border of the kingdom and is famous for animal husbandry and planting. As the main source of income, looking around, the vast grasslands and scattered fields constitute the pastoral-like scenery here.

When Reiner and Fina took the steam train from Prest to the town of Sur, it was already evening. In the burning evening clouds, the setting sun slowly sank into the peaks of the Sur Mountains. After the afterglow was swallowed up by the night, a few stars lit up in the dark obsidian sky.

Out of the station, a smell of green grass mixed with earth blew through the evening breeze. There were no high-rise buildings and no busy traffic. On the brick-paved road, cattle were walking slowly, as if the rhythm of life had changed. Much slower.

"It's so cozy here."

Liner sighed, after staying in a busy big city for a long time, it would be nice to experience this kind of farmhouse style once in a while.

"Hmm."

Fina didn't deny it, but she didn't seem happy about Reiner's compliment.

She led Reiner forward. Occasionally she could see a few passers-by along the way, but for some reason, their eyes flickered when they saw Fina, and they did not dare to look directly at her, as if they were avoiding something. The look he looked at Reiner was also a little strange. ~IndoMTL.com~ Reiner seemed to have noticed something, but he did not ask rashly and just followed Fina quietly.

The houses on the roadside are no more than three stories at most, and most of them are low-rise bungalows. There are almost no shops, and there are no pubs or hotels. Compared with Prest, this place looks like Reiner felt a little uncomfortable in the countryside that had lagged behind for decades.

After walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at a three-story building. According to the sign, this was the hospital in Sur Town.

There are generally two types of hospitals in this world. One is a regular hospital where necromancers who specialize in this field are resident and rely on magic potions and surgeries to treat patients. The other is a hospital where only mage apprentices are available. Or a low-level mage's clinic that relies on purchased medicines to diagnose and treat simple diseases.

This family in Sur Town obviously belongs to the latter.

As they walked into the quiet hospital, the smell of medicine penetrated into their noses, making Reiner frown slightly. After a few words with the nurse on duty, they went up to the second floor and saw Fei in the room at the end of the corridor. Na's father.

It was an old man with white hair. It was hard to tell that he was less than forty years old. He looked haggard and skinny. He was lying quietly on a simple hospital bed, covered with too many quilts. After several washes, it turned a little yellow, and the whole person looked down and depressed.

He seemed to have fallen asleep and his breathing was steady, but the intravenous drip on his arm told Reiner that this was a seriously ill person, and he might even be running out of time.

"It's like this every time."

Next to Reiner, Fina said, not words of sadness, nor words of reassurance, but a whisper that sounded somewhat resentful to Reiner.

"My life...has become a mess because of him."
