Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 93: In Progress

The commotion in the morning had subsided, but the magic rune exam in the afternoon was calm.

Magic runes were equivalent to a foreign language test in Reiner's words. The common language in this world was a language called Serafino. From the perspective of pronunciation and vocabulary and grammar, it was close to English on Earth or Languages such as German had 37 letters. Each word consisted of several letters and contained various tenses. Most words were derived from affixes.

The magic rune was a language created by the mages in ancient times to cast spells. There were a total of twenty-four runes. Different from the common language, each rune represented a complete meaning, a combination of runes was not a vocabulary, but more like a spell.

In a conventional classical magic circle, runes, magic nodes, and magic channels together constituted a complete magic. In fact, if one traced the roots, the foundation of the magic model was magic runes. Hermann Braggs was the one who deciphered each rune into a combination of magic channels, and nodes, and then promoted the originally mysterious magic to the public.

Although many magics did not necessarily rely on magic runes to be cast, and even people who did not know magic runes could use magic normally, if one wanted to interpret ancient documents for inspiration or dig out treasures in the vast ancient ruins, this subject was necessary.

Reiner had a good memory and good comprehension. The magic rune exam was not difficult for him. In fact, when he completed the entire test paper and checked it again, there were still more than forty-two minutes left of the two hours exam.

Of course, Reiner would not make excessive behaviors such as handing in papers in advance or lying down to sleep. He honestly waited until the bell rang at the end of the test before letting the invigilator take away the test papers.

Perhaps it was the noon incident that had spread, and the invigilators looked a little strange when they looked at Reiner, as if he was not an examinee, but an important guest, and even their actions became more respectful.

Back at the hotel, several people from Luna Nova Magical Academy had dinner together. The students exchanged their experiences in the exam. From the content of the discussion, Fina should be able to get a good score without any surprise. Lya and Eureka also did pretty well on this kind of memory-oriented exam, but the two people's weaknesses were the actual spellcasting and knowledge of other types of magics, so they would have a hard time during tomorrow's performance.

What made everyone surprise was Dana. After checking the answer, she was almost the same as Fina. Although this student was already pretty good at basic knowledge, this result was also surprising.

And Reiner, he didn't participate in the discussion, because it wasn't necessary.

After a peaceful night, the next day's exams officially kicked off.

After the impact of the first day, today, most of the boys in the examination room had adapted to the eye-catching sailor uniform skirts of Luna Nova Magical Academy, and there were even a few brave guys who came over and tried to ask for their names and contact information.

Of course, these little brats were driven away by Claire.

The morning exam was a comprehensive test. Apprentices could choose two subjects among all types. Of course, choosing more would not add more points.

In fact, in addition to examining more in-depth knowledge of various types of magic, this exam could also check each student's ability to judge and analyze.

The questions of these exams were written based on general education in the apprenticeship stage, which meant that as long as apprentices did not focus on studying only one subject or the school was unable to teach a certain subject, the apprentices had the ability to answer the questions.

The difficulty of each subject in each exam was not uniform. It may be difficult this time, or it may be simpler this time. Therefore, conventional test-taking strategies required students to master at least 90% of the knowledge in three subjects. And during the test, they needed to choose the simplest two subjects to answer the questions after reviewing the questions.

For talented people, regardless of the difficulty of the question, they could get full marks, and for apprentices with a solid foundation and judgment, choosing simple subjects could also get higher scores.

Probably only those apprentices with a poor foundation would be troubled by this model.

Reiner chose the two alchemy and law. Most of the topics in alchemy were analysis experiments and design experiments. Since Reiner's law of conservation of mass had not yet been popularized, there were almost no questions related to reaction calculations. As long as an apprentice was familiar with alchemy, it was easy to get high scores.

The law exam was just the opposite. Due to the leadership of Isaris Alberton, the application of spells in the law was more in the direction of mathematics and science, and problems related to the spell model. Because a lot of calculations were involved, many apprentices would give up this subject first.

But in Reiner's view, these physics problems were simply too easy. As a physics teacher on the earth, he didn't take much time to answer those questions

It was precisely because of this that Reiner's swift writing on the test questions of the law also attracted the attention of the invigilator.

The male invigilator named Louis walked through the examination room and then came to Reiner's side. He glanced at Reiner's test paper at random, only to find that the large blanks under the law subject were filled up with words and numbers. The calculations and formulas were neatly arranged like a beautiful paper, and as he read more carefully, he found that the derivation process was well-founded and the answers were simple and beautiful.

This made Louis unable to help himself but nod in admiration. It seemed that the youngest ever winner of the Hohenheim Gold Cup was well-deserved, and his basic knowledge was quite solid.

Reiner naturally knew that the invigilator was standing by his side, but this did not affect his answer. Reiner wrote very quickly, and the sound of constantly turning over the test paper made the apprentices sitting next to him feel very stressed, plus the invigilator standing near them all the time, the candidates in this area were oozing cold sweat.

The two-hour exam time passed quickly. After Reiner checked it twice, the bell finally rang. He put down his pen and stretched, looking relaxed and content.

"Dana, how was it?"

Reiner naturally cared about the condition of his students.

"Mhm, I chose the element and law, and it should be no problem to get an eighty point."

Dana was now different from the student who would have a headache when seeing numbers and calculations in the past. With the confidence in her tone and with the dress she was wearing, she exuded a dazzling charm, making several boys next to her stunned.

"Be prepared, the magic test in the afternoon is the real challenge."

Reiner chuckled and then reminded her.

"Hmm, I will try my best."

Nodding, Dana gave a sweet smile
