Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 38: Thesis and Cat

At night, Reiner sat in his room. After dipping the quill pen in ink, he began to write the title of the paper on the parchment spread in front of him.

"Analysis of the properties and compounds of the two new elements "Occles" and "Hydra" obtained by electrolysis of water, and several conjectures about combustion theory"

Originally, he was still thinking about whether to make the title more euphemistic, but then he simply started in accordance with the general format. Since he had to give these conclusions in the end, it was better to start with the title.

Afterwards, Reiner began to write abstracts in the usual format.

"The experiment was conducted on water using the electrolysis method, and two gases with unique properties were obtained from it. One of the gases can support combustion and react with a variety of combustibles to produce compounds, named 'Occles'; another gas itself is very flammable, and it reacts with "Occles" to produce water. This gas element is named "Hydra"; the properties and relative element mass of the two gas elements are measured.. ...."

After simply writing the abstract, Reiner's remaining work was to transfer the experimental notes that Sharon had helped organize into the paper step by step.

The candlelight flickered, unconsciously, the originally noisy Luna Nova Magical Academy gradually fell silent, the Moon of Primrose (March) has come to an end, and as summer approaches, the night has gradually become sultry. After a breeze blew in from the open window, the edges of the parchment flipped slightly.

Reiner was immersed in writing. The language that had been brewed in his mind was like a waterfall falling into his hand, turning into words one after another and imprinting on the parchment.

In the process of his writing, Reiner's heart was also undergoing quiet changes.

On the originally calm lake, a little ripple appeared, followed by a fierce storm. In this storm, the thunder and lightning hit the center of the lake!

The turbulent lake was stirred up under the power of thunder and lightning, and the excessively huge energy was conducted in the water, even triggering the collapse of a certain stable structure.

In the water, two gases quietly formed.

One of the gases set off a flame in the thunder and lightning. The lightning arc was like a giant dragon in the moist air. In the next instant, a fierce flame ignited and surrounded the entire lake. The orange light illuminated the dark storm, like the light of life.

Another kind of gas rose rapidly. It contained a more terrifying power, but it has not been discovered yet. It was quiet and light, but it was on the verge of triggering. Amidst the flashes of thunder, it instantly spread over the entire sky.

Finally, the storm that was washing the world gradually ceased, and the clouds disappeared, and a rainbow appeared over the lake.

Around the lake, the unquenchable flame turned into a holy fireball, burning quietly. In the sky, the sun rose slowly, shining on the earth.

Although the water in the lake has not increased much, it could be clearly perceived that the purity of the water has risen by one level. This was because Reiner's understanding of the substance of water has risen by another level.

The quiet lake, the burning sacred fire, the vast land, the endless wind, the four elements were turned into tangible entities, and they were formed in the lake of Reiner's heart. This was a sign that the irregular magic had gradually settled down. At this point, Reiner was just one step away from being a formal mage, with a one-ring spell model inscribed in the heart lake.

After writing the final acknowledgment, Reiner stopped writing. Everything in his Heart Lake did not directly affect him. Reiner simply felt refreshed, even if it was late at night, he was not at all sleepy.

After finishing the paper, he planned to send it out in a few days, hoping to get a higher evaluation this time.

Standing up, Reiner found that a cat with tiger stripes patterns had entered his room without him noticing it.

The cat had probably sneaked in through the window. After it ate Reiner's supper; a small portion of the roast chicken, it lay on Reiner's pillow in a lazy manner, sleeping soundly.

"This naughty little guy."

Reiner wasn't angry. He reached out and stroked the cat's head, scratching the back of the cat's neck.

"Meow!"

The cat was awakened, opened its mouth, and gave a cry. It glanced at Reiner, then closed its eyes, not caring about the original owner of the room.

Following Reiner's petting behavior, the cat quickly purred, and its little tail swayed left and right, seemingly enjoying it.

After being so comfortable for a while, the cat seemed to be aware of something. It got up, stretched its body on the bed, and then dexterously jumped out of the bed, jumped on the window edge, and disappeared.

"Why do I feel like this cat is the master here."

Reiner muttered to himself, cleared the dinner plate messed up by the cat, and lay down on the bed.

He picked up the newspaper, the Daily Prester, on the bedside table, which published the third issue of "the lonely wandering gourmet".

According to Oliana's feedback, this series was very popular. It even brought a number of young female admirers to Baron Goode, the original character of the series. This kind of interesting middle-aged uncle with a gentleman's demeanor surely would make many young girls losing their minds.

The original author Charles also received invitations from many publishing houses. They wanted to invite him to publish the book The Lonely Wandering Gourmet for them.

As for Daily Prester, it has gradually regained its former status as a result of this serial. After experiencing the purely sensationalized headlines of newspapers and magazines, people soon discovered that they still have to read the comprehensive news. Hence, Daily Prester's market share began to rebound rapidly.

The copy in Reiner's hands was not only contained the third issue of The Lonely Wandering Gourmet, but in the corner of the front page, there was also such a piece of news.

"Recently, Luna Nova Cola launched a brand new event. On the Cola sold on the 1st of next month, you can exchange the labels on the bottles for exquisite cards from merchants. The cards are the portraits of famous ancient masters. According to our reporter's investigation, there are a large number of such cards. If all of them are collected, then the manufacturer of Luna Nova Cola will give them a mysterious card..."

Yes, the cards of the mages made by Reiner and Sharon would be officially released. Within these two weeks, they printed the cards of twenty mages as the first batch and adjusted the frequency of these cards. As for the mysterious card in the news, neither Reiner nor Sharon had considered it yet. Anyway, no one would be able to gather it for a while.

"I hope this strategy will work."

Reiner also has no absolute certainty in his heart. The cola produced by Piram Alchemy Workshop in the past week has obviously adopted Antoine's alchemy magic circle. With its powerful retail stores, its sales have also been gradually picking up around Prester. It let more people know about the existence of cola.

But on the other hand, Reiner has asked Antoine to collect all kinds of information sufficient to report the theft by Piram. They were ready to wait for the right time to detonate the time bomb in one fell swoop.
