Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 46: Claire's Secret

"How is she."

Reiner asked in a very soft voice.

"Her magic power is exhausted, and the backlash caused by forcibly casting the spell that is beyond her level will cause some damage to her soul, but fortunately Claire is still young. After taking the medicine, she only needs to rest for a few days and she should be able to return to normal. As for the subsequent effects, we have to observe it before we can draw a conclusion."

The old woman next to him replied. This was one of the four remaining professors at Luna Nova Magical Academy, Mrs. Susan Michel, who taught alchemy and necromancy, and also served as the school's doctor, which sounded a bit strange.

The two of them looked at Claire lying on the bed. The blonde woman closed her eyes tightly and was sleeping quietly. She had just taken the medicine prepared by Mrs. Michel and was in deep sleep.

This was Claire's room. Compared to a girl's room, it was a bit too simple here. Brown curtains, wooden furniture, bookshelves filled with magic books, and even the color of the bedding were just simple gray. When Mrs. Michel was looking for some clothes for Claire, Reiner glanced at her closet by accident. There was not even a skirt in it except for the mage's robe and a few monotonous shirts.

Obviously, this teacher had not spent the girlhood that she deserved. Her childhood must have been spent in books.

The only thing that could show the owner's personality was probably the pillow that looked like barbecue meat, which made Reiner wonder how much this teacher liked to eat meat.

"It is great that she is fine."

Reiner nodded. Claire in her pajamas lost her usual energetic look. At first glance, she was an ordinary girl. Reiner's gaze swept across Claire's face and looked at the silver pendant on the bedside table.

Although he wanted to analyze the spell inside, the three-ring spell was still a bit dangerous after all, and Reiner could only give it up temporarily.

"Claire treats this thing like a treasure."

Said Mrs. Michel, seemingly nostalgic.

"Does the bird on this have any special meaning?"

Reiner asked. Mrs. Michel seemed to know something.

"This is a thorn bird. Legend has it that the song it sings can make souls shake, but it only sings once in its life, that is when it is dying."

Mrs. Michel's voice was low, she looked out the window and whispered.

"Before dying, the thorn bird will continue to fly, in order to find a thorn that belongs to it. When it is found, this poor bird will plunge into the thorn, and then sing. The song will be directly sent into people's souls, shaking people's hearts, and when the song ends, the life of the thorn bird will also come to an end, and finally falls."

Of course, this is just a legend, Mrs. Michel finally added.

It felt a little ominous, Reiner thought, thinking of Claire saying that this was an apology gift from a nobleman who had bullied her. It seemed that the nobleman who gave this pendant to others was not a good person.

"Let her rest."

Said Mrs. Michel, and then left Claire's room.

Reiner sat for a while, stood up, glanced across the bookshelf inadvertently, only to find that several of them seemed to be different.

He walked to the shelf and pulled out a thick book labeled "Ancient Potions", but when the book left the shelf, it suddenly fell apart, and several lighter books fell out of it.

"Huh?"

Reiner hurriedly looked back at Claire. Fortunately, she slept soundly and did not wake up because of the noise.

Looking at the book in his hand, Reiner realized that this "Ancient Potions" was just an empty shell, and the book scattered on the ground was the main body.

"What is this?"

He bent down and picked up some of them.

"Pitiful Mage", "Stained With Your Magic", "The Young Apprentice of A Domineering Master".

Why did it feel a little strange?

Reiner opened one of them with curiosity, only to realize that it was a novel.

And it was a romantic novel.

The content of these books was very clichd. Basically, the ordinary heroine was lonely and pitiful, but she was favored by an extraordinary mage. There were plots like a spell accident causing amnesia, various misunderstandings that caused the two people to part ways, the vicious supporting actress intended to snatch the male lead, etc. Many boring plots.

To Reiner, the content of this novel was a bit crude compared to various popular literature works on the earth. But thinking that even a novel like the lonely wandering gourmet would become popular in many cities, it was not so strange to see this kind of novel.

It was just that Reiner probably needed to correct his opinion. Claire actually had a normal girlhood.

After putting the books back carefully, Reiner left Claire's room. He hadn't eaten lunch and was a little hungry, so he wanted to go to the kitchen to find some food.

After sneaking downstairs, Reiner came to the kitchen, where most of the cooking was handled by the alchemy creatures, and these alchemy creatures were resting at this moment, so there was no one in the kitchen.

He came to the warehouse, cut a sausage, added two slices of bacon, and took an egg.

Lighting up the stove, Reiner put a small piece of butter on the pan. Then he put the bacon and sausage in it, fried it until he could smell fragrant. After that, he cracked the egg, tip the egg into the pan, and sprinkle a little sea salt and pepper, and it was ready to be out of the pan.

Reiner turned around, took another piece of bread, poured a half glass of cheap red wine, and when he turned around to serve the plate, he found that the familiar tiger-striped cat had climbed onto the stove, and it was licking paws next to the food.

"Don't tell anyone."

Reiner thought for a while, and then cut half a piece of bacon with a knife to the cat. The cat sniffed the piece of meat, but it did not immediately eat it. It continued to stare at the meat on the plate.

"What do you want?"

With the fork moving over the food on the plate, Rainer saw that the cat's eyes stopped on the sausage, so he had to cut another third of the sausage and put it with the half piece of bacon.

At this time, the cat gave a cry of satisfaction and lowered its head to nibble on bacon.

Reiner also picked up the bread, put butter on it, and quickly finished eating the piece of bread and the meat on the plate.

"Where did you come from?"

After eating and drinking, Reiner asked while petting the cat.

But the cat didn't seem to understand Reiner's words at all. It only squinted its eyes, enjoying Reiner's pet. From time to time, it would turn its head to make him scratch the other side.

Having enjoyed enough, the cat stretched its body again, jumped off the stove, and slipped out along the window.

Reiner also stood up, put the plate in the sink, and left the kitchen.

He wanted to take a walk in the courtyard to digest food, but the alchemy stone statue informed Reiner that there was a letter sent to him.

"Could it be the result of the paper?"

Reiner thought to himself that it was a few days after he sent the paper. According to the normal schedule, it was time to get the feedback.

But when he opened the letter from the Rainbow Tower, what he saw was not the review comments of the paper.

That was an invitation letter
