Meet the principal

"Principal, I heard you were looking for me?"

Dana knocked on the door. She was wearing the sailor uniform of Crescent College, and her body was filled with the beauty of youth. However, there was a slight melancholy in this girl's face, which made people feel a little protective.

"sit down."

Reiner pointed to the sofa beside him. He put down the document in his hand and looked at Dana.

“How did the practice exam feel?”

"Uh, sorry, my spell failed again."

Since the last magic test, Reiner has not asked Dana about the details of the test. On the one hand, Reiner himself caused a certain commotion, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take care of her emotions.

After this memory settled, Reiner found Dana.

"I heard that the failure to cast the spell caused an explosion, and even the obsidian slab responsible for the test had cracks."

The expression on Dana's face dimmed a little more, as if she thought that Reiner was also disappointed with her.

"I'm sorry, I may have felt proud recently because I thought I had mastered some tricks, so I rashly tried to construct a ring of spells..."

"Classmate Dana, do you know what the passing rate of the magic exam in Ammonai Province is every year?"

Reiner suddenly asked, leaving Dana a little unresponsive.

"What?"

"Every year, the number of apprentices who take the magic exam in Ammonai Province is about two hundred. Among them, there are more than one hundred and seventy people who can get passing scores in three theoretical courses, which means a total of one hundred and eighty percent. That means nearly 90% of people can pass the theoretical exam.”

Reiner said calmly, these are the data that a principal should master for admission to higher education.

"But in fact, the annual pass rate for the magic exam in Ammonai Province is less than 15%."

That is to say, at most thirty apprentices can pass the exam and become official mages. This is only an ideal situation. Based on the data of apprentices who have retaken the exam many times, the number of apprentices who can pass the exam on the first try should be less than ten. Five.

After listening to Reiner's explanation, Dana still didn't understand his intention.

"Dana, you have to know that you will officially take the exam next year. You still have one year to consolidate the foundation and prepare for the exam."

Reiner said directly. The data he cited earlier was more convincing than simple comfort.

It's true that Dana didn't do very well, but it's also true that not many people did better.

"You have done the best you can. I have received the transcript of the mock exam. You can take a look."

Reiner handed over a list. As soon as Dana heard the report card, her heart began to beat wildly. She stretched out her hand to take the list, but failed the first time. She retracted her hand slightly and pinched the score again. Take the order in front of you.

"Mage Code and History of Magic, eighty-seven points, magic runes, seventy-two points, comprehensive magic, sixty-nine points... Magic test, failed, final evaluation, failed..." .”

Failing was expected, but Dana was surprised by her scores in the other three subjects.

The three subjects add up to a total of 228 points. If the magic test is passed with 60 points, it will be 288 points. This is already a pretty good score!

"For your reference, the Magic Academy affiliated with the Rainbow Tower Council is currently the magic school with the strongest comprehensive magic strength. The average magic test score of the apprentices who have been successfully promoted in the past three years is 322 points, and The figure for the province of Ammonai is two hundred and forty-five."

In other words, if Dana successfully casts the spell, her score will be far higher than the average score of her province, and she still has a year to continue to improve.

"By the way, you ranked third in Crescent College in this exam."

Reiner said again,

The second one is Fina Nabistin, with a high score of 357, which leads the others.

The first one is of course Reiner himself. As for the score, he feels that it has no reference value. It is enough to be promoted.

"This, I thought..."

Dana originally thought that Reiner would definitely blame her if she failed to cast a spell and caused such a big commotion, but she didn't expect that instead of doing that, he would instead list various facts to comfort herself.

She vaguely thought of her parents. If they had adopted Reiner's education method at that time, would she be different now?

"As I said before, I want to treat you to a big cake on your birthday."

Reiner said suddenly.

"Well, that's right."

Dana remembered the previous agreement between Reiner and herself. In just two weeks, Dana seemed to have spent many years, fulfilling and long.

"Your birthday should be on the second day of the White Dew Moon, which is the day after tomorrow, right?"

Reiner confirmed that today is the last day of the Moon of Fire. From tomorrow on, time will officially enter the Moon of White Dew. This is also the hottest month. Many schools will have summer vacation in the two months before the magic exam. Let students review freely. Crescent College used to have a holiday around the fifth day of the White Dew Moon, which lasted until the end of the summer magic exam. However, this year due to assessment reasons, the summer vacation will be postponed for a few days.

"Yeah that's right."

Dana nodded. At first, she thought that Reiner was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that he actually checked her birthday.

In the past, Dana had never celebrated her birthday. When her parents were still alive, they were both busy with research, so it would be nice to have a meal together at home on Dana's birthday.

Since her parents had an accident, Dana's birthday has become the anniversary of her parents' death. She is sensible and has never asked her uncle Chester to celebrate her birthday.

But now Reiner offered to help him celebrate his birthday, which really made Dana have mixed feelings in her heart.

Joy, gratitude, loneliness, and entanglement. She didn't know if she had the right to celebrate this day, because in the eyes of her parents who had passed away long ago, Dana was useless. Her birthday was supposed to be the last shackles left by her parents for her. Na will always remember this day.

"Go back and prepare well. On that day, I will prepare a surprise for you."

Reiner rubbed Dana's head, making her feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if someone had indeed done the same thing before.

But that may be a long-forgotten memory, ambiguous.

"surprise?"

Dana asked softly, looking at Reiner with a little more confusion in her eyes, but she still left the principal's office obediently.

After the student left, Reiner sat back at his desk, picked up his pen, and started writing a reply.

The title is - To the Honorable Mr. Chester Christian.
