Meet the principal

Monday morning is the time for Crescent College’s regular morning meeting.

At this time, in the slightly old auditorium of the college, all the students and teachers of Crescent College were sitting. Even so, there were actually only thirty students and four teachers, including Claire.

"A veritable crisis of school abolition."

Reiner sighed next to the rostrum. Normally, a normal magic academy has at least a hundred people, not to mention teachers. There will be one person from each department, but the current situation at Crescent College is that the teachers have to With two to three departments concurrently, the number of students is decreasing year by year.

In fact, when Lena took over this school, several teachers resigned. Most of these teachers were poached by other schools. After all, at that time, it seemed that if they continued to stay, they would end up being dismissed. It is better to change jobs in advance.

The students are all girls. Crescent College has a long history. Some families have sent their daughters to study here for a long time. Not only do they learn magic knowledge, but also cultivate their etiquette as a lady. For these families, it is also I didn't expect my daughter to become a mage, so I wasn't too picky.

Reiner saw Charlotte in the crowd. She was sitting with her roommate Evana, discussing something in a low voice.

As the dean of students, Claire spoke first, summarizing the past week and making arrangements for some work plans for this week. At this time, the teacher seemed quite trustworthy. Of course, excluding the fact that she was wearing In addition to the maid outfit.

Claire's outfit will last for a week, but it seems that she has gradually accepted this setting. As for the students, there were some comments at first, but they have no objection after getting used to it.

"Principal, it's your turn next."

Student Council President Alymiya said to Reiner coldly. The brown-haired girl put on a meticulous poker face and seemed to look down on Reiner's previous actions.

"Thanks."

Reiner didn't care about the other party's attitude. Changing his image cannot be accomplished overnight. He walked up to the podium and looked at Claire who was stepping down. The dean immediately turned away, with a hint of anger. Regardless, it's still too shameful to speak on stage in a maid outfit, and it's all Reiner's fault.

When he came to the stage, Reiner glanced around the audience. Most of the students showed little interest. Only students like Xia Luo were looking at him, waiting for Reiner to speak.

Taking a deep breath, Reiner spoke without a script, because he had already drafted everything in his mind.

"Good morning, classmates and teachers. First of all, this is my first morning speech since I became the principal of Crescent College. But in this speech, I want to announce a sad news. .”

The first sentence caught the attention of the students. Reiner paused before continuing.

"This Crescent College will be closed down soon."

"Oh?" "What, what, what?" "Isn't it?" "How could this happen?"

Reiner's words caused an uproar among the girls. The concept of abolishing schools was too far away for them, but the meaning of this word was easy to understand.

“As you can see, most of the school’s facilities have been left unmaintained due to lack of funds. The number of students enrolled has dropped sharply, and most of the teachers have resigned. More importantly, the school’s rating has been at the lowest level for several years, and this year it will be even worse. It is due to the lack of sufficient academic points due to the resignation of the teacher. If it fails to pass the review three months later, then the school will effectively be abolished."

"Then if the school is gone, where will we go?"

A brave girl in the front row asked directly and loudly.

"According to past examples, you should be assigned to other schools. Of course, since one school cannot accept all students, you may be dispersed to several schools.

"

Although the number is not large, there have been cases in the past where students from abandoned schools formed small groups in new schools, so this rule came into being later. Students from abandoned schools must be assigned to different schools to get there faster. Integrate into the new group.

Reiner's words once again made everyone panic. If the survival of the school was not intuitive, then the upcoming separation from his friends was an imminent crisis.

Instead of quieting down the auditorium, Reiner chose to let their emotions ferment.

An atmosphere of uneasiness, sadness, and hesitation spread among the students. After all, these are still teenage girls, sentimental, and have not yet become profit-oriented nobles or rational and introverted mages. Therefore, this kind of emotion gradually penetrates everyone After feeling in his heart, Reiner spoke and continued.

"However, fellow students, please note that my premise is that if we fail to pass the review after three months, Crescent College will be abolished."

Hearing Reiner's words, the girls' chattering immediately fell silent. All thirty girls stared at Reiner, making the principal smile.

"Teacher Claire and I have already made preliminary plans for measures to save the school. You will see the results in a while. Here, I just want to say two things to you."

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Reiner had to say.

"The first thing is, I will not stop the students from choosing. I know that some students' families are very influential aristocrats. Instead of staying in such a school, it is better to rely on the family's power to go to a better school. , if we leave now, we might be able to catch the opening ceremonies of some schools."

His words made Claire's expression change, and she wondered if this guy was crazy. How could he say such a thing? This was tantamount to making many students give up on Crescent College. This kind of disorderly behavior was really stupid!

Claire resisted the impulse, as if she was about to go up and pull Reiner down at the next moment, but an alchemy servant slowly flew over and brought her a letter, so Claire did not act impulsively.

The students were very quiet, no one spoke, and no one left. Even a few girls who looked around did not speak because of the atmosphere.

"Second thing, I would like to ask all students to write down what they want to do in the future, or what they want to get, on a piece of paper and hand it over."

Reiner's words made everyone start to make noise again. No one understood Reiner's intention. This kind of proposition composition like "My Dream" has been out of fashion since childhood, and now it is facing the abolition of schools. Crisis, why did Reiner let them write these things.

Reiner didn't have any explanation for this, just smiled mysteriously, and then announced.

"Then, dear students, please enjoy your campus life."

At the end of the morning meeting, Reiner slowly walked down the podium. Facing Claire with a complicated expression, Reiner shrugged innocently.

Claire sighed, as if there was nothing she could do to Reiner. She handed the letter in her hand to Reiner, and then spoke.

"This is the review result of the paper. Also, a lady is waiting for you in the reception room."
