Meet the principal

"Vice principal..."

After Reiner went to Percival's house before, he took advantage of his free time to check at will. Percival's father-in-law and Mrs. Lesa's father was none other than Leo Bordo.

Therefore, Mrs. Lesa's original name should be Lesa Bordo.

"What a coincidence."

Reiner handed back his student registration information, walked out of the building, and began to think about what to do.

To be honest, he didn't necessarily want to know the whereabouts of Sirius Oldman, but a series of coincidences made him curious and wanted to find out what happened to this graduate eight years ago. Why did you spend money to stuff your paper into the school archives, and what exactly was written in that paper.

"I remember Director Percival said that his father-in-law is no longer engaged in teaching and often travels."

Reiner stood in the shade of the building. His robe had a temperature-regulating magic circle, so he didn't feel hot, but being exposed to the direct sun was still a bit unpleasant. He thought for a moment and decided to pay a visit.

After asking about the location of the vice-principal's office, Reiner walked straight across the campus and came to a tall building in front of the square in the middle of the school.

At this time, it happened to be the end of the morning class. Many mages who had finished class walked out of this high-rise building. They were walking in a hurry, probably towards the cafeteria. Reiner was walking against the current alone, which seemed very strange and attracted many people. Many looks.

Entering the high-rise building, Reiner took the elevator to the eighth floor.

There are no classrooms above the seventh floor of the main building. They are all office areas, and Vice Principal Bordo's office is located on the eighth floor.

As soon as Reiner stepped out of the elevator, he saw a reception desk.

"Hello, I am Rainer Ian Gray from the thesis review committee. I would like to find Vice Principal Portordo."

"Excuse me, do you have an appointment...wait, Rainer Inglete???"

The routine-like speech of the female receptionist in her twenties was suddenly interrupted. She looked at Reiner with a frightened expression.

"Are you the Blood Baron, Rainer Inglet!!?"

"What is the name of Blood Baron..."

Reiner felt that his painting style in the eyes of others seemed to be flying away to an indescribable place.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued.

"I'm looking for Vice Principal Portordo. I don't know if it's convenient for him."

"Uh, sorry, I was so excited at the moment..."

The receptionist was a little at a loss. She hurriedly picked up the notepad on the table and flipped through it before answering to Reiner.

"Principal Portordo should be having lunch now, uh, he might take a nap afterwards and wake up around...two o'clock in the afternoon."

It seems that she is also a newcomer and is not familiar with Principal Portordo's schedule.

"Then I'm going to have a meal too and come back in the afternoon. Please make a reservation for me."

Hearing that everyone was eating, Reiner, who had been busy all morning, also felt a little hungry. He said to the receptionist, making the other party afraid to look into his eyes.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Iain Gray."

Just as Reiner turned around to leave and look for a place to eat, the receptionist stopped him again.

"Please wait, Mr. Iain Gray."

Looking back, Reiner discovered that the receptionist had taken out a clean notebook and opened it to the blank title page.

"Can you sign your name for me?"

The receptionist looked at Reiner with expectant eyes like a puppy wagging its tail.

...

Like a lonely gourmet, after enjoying a meal in the backstreets near the Astor Academy of Advanced Magic, Reiner returned to the campus in the afternoon. At this time, it was the time when the sun was at its strongest, in the huge square. , a few pedestrians walked in a hurry, avoiding the scorching sun.

Reiner had just had lunch and was walking slowly under the shade of the trees for an afternoon snack. When he returned to the main building of the school, there was no one in the lobby. He took the elevator to the eighth floor. As soon as Reiner opened the door, he saw someone holding a hand holding a hand. Looking at the receptionist who was dozing off, he smiled, walked to the counter, and tapped the tabletop gently.

Dong dong dong——

The knocking sound suddenly woke up the half-asleep receptionist. She hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and stood up in a panic.

"Who, who..."

Her bewildered look really made Reiner want to ask her if she had a distant relative named Claire.

"I'm here to see Vice Principal Portordo."

Reiner suppressed his thoughts of mischief and spoke in a serious tone.

"Oh, yes, it's you, Mr. Ian Gray, I'm sorry, I, I'll go and inform you right away."

The receptionist nodded repeatedly, ran to the office behind her, opened the door, whispered a few words, then turned around and saluted Reiner.

"Come in, Mr. Iain Gray."

Reiner nodded and walked into the office.

This office was not big. In fact, compared to the status of the vice-principal, Reiner felt that it was already small.

Among the mountains of manuscripts and materials, a bald old man was sitting behind a slightly old desk.

He was wearing a single-sided spectacle and had a half-read book in his hand. The old man put down the bookmark and slowly closed the book. He looked at Reiner with a pair of eyes that were not cloudy at all, and then spoke.

"Are you that Rainer Ingle? I heard Percival mentioned you."

Although his voice was old, it was full of energy. Even from a certain distance, Reiner could hear it clearly.

"Vice Principal Portordo, good afternoon."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Reiner explained his purpose.

"I'm interrupting this time because I recently read a paper written by a graduate of this school. I was very inspired by some of the ideas in it, so I wanted to find the source of inspiration mentioned in the paper, but found that This paper has been destroyed due to some reasons, and the original author of that paper is your student, Vice Principal."

"my student?"

Vice Principal Portordo showed a slightly confused expression. He didn't know whether it was because he had too many students, or because he simply couldn't think of any student whose thesis could inspire Rainer Ingles, who was constantly breaking tradition.

"Well, yes, his name is Sirius Oldman. If his student status information is correct, he entered Astor Academy of Magic twelve years ago and left eight years ago. During this period, he was responsible for his graduation. The thesis supervisor is you, the vice president."

Reiner said, but he didn't expect that when Vice Principal Portordo heard what he said, his eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

"Sirius...him?"

After a moment of silence, Vice Principal Portordo sighed softly.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still hear someone mention his name."
