Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 63: Unexpected Visitor

"A lady?"

Reiner was confused.

Frederick patted Reiner on the shoulder with a smile.

"A talented person will always be popular, but be careful not to indulge in it."

Uh, he seemed to have some misunderstanding about himself. Reiner couldn't explain it. He could only leave first and follow Anton to the reception room to meet the woman who came out of nowhere.

Since the meeting was over, most of the mages had already left, and the entire manor looked a little lonely. The two walked in the corridor, their shoes stepped on the stone floor, making a crisp sound.

"Mr. Ian Gray, I didn't expect you to win the Hohenheim Golden Cup."

Anton said with some emotion. On the one hand, he thought that Reiner was lucky, and on the other hand, the other party was younger than himself, but had already won the highest award in the alchemy field.

Even if Reiner was really someone high-level mage's student like he guessed, his knowledge still far surpassed him. Anton could only sigh that he was not as good as Reiner.

"And I'm a second-ring mage. I am really ashamed of myself."

"Don't say that, Mr. Ferrier, as long as you focus on research, you can always achieve something. Gold will eventually shine."

Rainer's words stunned Anton.

"Yes, His Excellency Braggs also said that the truth will only reveal itself after persistent efforts."

Anton said as if muttering to himself, Reiner's humility left a deep impression on him. He came to the door of the reception room, opened the door, and guided Reiner in.

"I won't disturb you, then."

After speaking, he left, leaving Reiner in the reception room.

He was not alone here. There were several mages sitting in the corner to exchange academic achievements. When they saw Reiner, the discussion stalled for a while, and then continued.

Reiner immediately found the lady.

Because that was Claire.

The young professor was wearing a dark brown plaid dress, small leather shoes, and a beige coat. Reiner remembered that he had never seen such a dress in her wardrobe. Maybe it was a dress that she kept secretly?

She was sitting on a soft chair, looking around nervously, clenching her hands in front of her chest. She looked very innocent and cute.

Soon, Claire saw Reiner. She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before she stood up.

"When I woke up, Mrs. Michel said that you had left the college. I found a ticket on the bedside, so I came here."

She said, her tone seemed a little bit angry.

"Do you know that you are now the principal of Luna Nova Magical Academy? If something happens to you, what are you going to do?"

"Uh, sorry... wait, are you worried about me?"

Reiner's question made this professor unable to respond to him for a while.

"I, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a dean to supervise the principal. If you have an accident, the ownership of the academy will become a problem. So don't get the wrong idea!"

Stomping her feet, Claire hurriedly defended.

A mage next to them noticed the quarrel between the two, but only treated it as a small fight between ordinary couples. He smiled without paying attention to them.

"Okay, okay, but..."

Reiner raised his hands to indicate that he was only joking. He looked at Claire up and down, trying to confirm the other's physical condition, but in Claire's eyes, it was more like he was judging her dress.

"Mrs. Michel lent me this dress. She said that she wore this when she was young."

When she said this, her voice was much lower, and she should feel a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Michel's clothes were probably only popular decades ago, and Claire may have encountered a lot of ridicule along the way.

"It looks very nice on you. Also, I want to ask if your body is okay?"

Reiner smiled, making Claire puff her cheeks, it was obvious that she was being teased again.

"I'm fine! Mrs. Michel said that as long as I rest for a while to recover the magic power, I will be fine."

"That's great."

Nodding, Reiner seemed relieved.

"Hmm, this should be the place where the mercury balance holds meeting, right? I just heard about the Hohenheim Golden Cup. That should be a great honor, right?"

Claire leaned over. Curiosity seemed to be a woman's nature in any world.

"I heard that this time the winner is very young, I am really envious."

"Yes, it's quite young."

Reiner was dazed and then replied. It seemed that the professor in front of him didn't know that the Hohenheim Golden Cup winner was standing in front of her this time, so he suddenly had a mischievous idea in his mind.

"How about the evaluation of your paper? If those reviewers disagree, we can try to find a senior reviewer..."

Claire said again, like a mother who was worried about her child, chattering endlessly. But Reiner didn't feel annoyed at all.

"The review result of the paper is not bad."

Without explaining too much, Reiner said lightly.

"Really? This is really great!"

With a bright expression, Claire clapped her hands, but immediately noticed her gaffe, and added.

"I'm worried about academic points, you know, we are still fifty points short..."

"Although there is no specific opinion, I think it should be more than fifty points."

Reiner shrugged. According to Frederick, the formal review comments would be sent to Luna Nova Magical Academy in a few days. This was a review written by him and several high-level mages.

At the same time, Reiner's paper would also be published as the first article in the next issue of "Alchemy", which should bring a lot of citations. Of course, perhaps after today's meeting, the participating mages in the last three days would spread the news to all parts of the continent, and Reiner would soon become famous.

"Then Luna Nova Magical Academy will not be abolished, right?"

Claire asked anxiously, with a little sadness hidden in her eyes.

"We'll know when the review committee comes over. During this time, we have to rebuild our campus. We must know that the perfection of the school's teaching equipment is also the assessment standard."

Reiner was not very optimistic. The academic points were currently earned by him alone. This was not a favorable situation for the evaluation of the academy.

But these were things that needed to be considered later, Reiner thought, and he turned around, ready to take Claire out of the manor.

"Where are we going now?"

Claire was unfamiliar with this place, so she could only follow Rainer closely at this time, like a timid kitten.

"Dinner."

But Reiner's next sentence made Claire's eyes shine with excitement
