Meet the principal

Nothing seems to have changed at Crescent Academy.

It is already the end of the Red Leaf Moon (September), and autumn is coming to an end. The trees around the campus square have long become bare. The fallen leaves on the ground have become the most troublesome problem for the students on duty. Compared with this, it has gradually become... The cold weather is less noticeable.

In the evening, in a corner of the campus square, first-year students Hathaway and Asilua of Crescent College were holding brooms and sweeping away the withered yellow leaves on the ground.

"Ah ah ah, why are there so many fallen leaves? It's obviously the end of autumn. Why don't the leaves of these trees just fall off when autumn has just entered?"

Asilua, who was born in a baron's family, has never done any housework at home. At home, she is the apple of everyone's eyes and the object of her father's care. If it were not for the current popularity of learning magic in aristocratic circles, I am afraid that she would not be able to do anything. Ahilua would definitely not be sent to Crescent College by her father to study.

When she got to school, Ai Xilua not only had to learn to live by herself, including but not limited to washing her own clothes, folding her own quilts, and cleaning her own room, but she also had to assume the obligation of cleaning the school as a duty student. It can be said that Ai Xilua Luya did much more housework in the three months she spent at Crescent Academy than she had done in the previous twelve years of her life combined.

"Stop complaining, finish scanning quickly and go back. I also want to ask Teacher Fina a few questions."

Facing this delicate roommate, Hathaway said helplessly.

She comes from a magical family, and her parents both hold public offices in the Magic Association. Therefore, becoming a mage seems to be Hathaway's ambition since birth. However, in the first class of school, after Reiner asked a question, This little girl has more thoughts. She is constantly learning and learning all aspects of knowledge, hoping to determine her future path.

The two girls were roommates in the same dormitory. Although they came from different families, they got along quite happily. After all, apart from the occasional embarrassing incident caused by Asilua's lack of common sense, her other words and deeds were still very consistent with those of a noble. The daughter's education level is elegant, polite, and modest. Of course, as the two of them gradually became familiar with each other, Asilua gradually showed her girlish side in front of Hathaway.

"It's Teacher Fina again, you seem to like her very much?"

Ahilua said while sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.

"Although Teacher Fina is very young, she has a very deep understanding of magic and can find unique solutions to many problems. I also want to become a mage like her in the future."

Hathaway said seriously and nodded.

"Mage?"

I really don't have much interest in it. "

Ahilua shrugged and then changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, Hathaway, do you know the seven incredible events at Crescent College?"

"ah?"

Hathaway stopped the broom and looked at her roommate, wondering what it was.

"For example, the human skeleton model in the laboratory will run around the corridor in the middle of the night, the star observation tower will make a huge roar on rest days, the large amount of food stored in the cafeteria is always stolen by the mysterious big eater, and there are unknown There are seven rumors in total that the dormitory manager is actually a cat, so it is called the Seven Mysterious Incidents of Crescent College."

Seeing that Hathaway's interest had been aroused, Asilua said excitedly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"I've never heard of these."

Hathaway shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

"As a magic school, it is natural for there to be mysterious events. Hathaway, aren't you curious at all?"

Ashilua came closer, and her warm breath made Hathaway a little panicked. She hurriedly took two steps back and distanced herself from the opponent.

"I-I'm not interested in this kind of thing."

Hathaway turned away, clenched the broom and said.

"Principal Iain Gray said that curiosity is the root of a mage's progress. As someone who volunteers to become a mage, how can you be so devoid of curiosity?"

Ahilua said, moving closer.

"However, these things make no sense at first sight. There is no mysterious big eater who can eat half of the canteen's reserves, and there is no way that a cat can speak human language or anything."

Hathaway argued.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, a tiger-striped kitten strolled past them, stepping on the fallen leaves without making any sound.

"There's no way this cat is the legendary dormitory administrator, Mrs. Freya, right?"

Hathaway said, pointing to the kitten.

As if he heard her words, the kitten stopped, turned to look at the two of them, and then barked.

"Ouch?"

"...Was it asking a rhetorical question just now?"

Hathaway was speechless for a moment, wondering if the cat really understood her words or if it just responded instinctively to human voices.

"This cat looks familiar. I seem to see it often in school."

Ahilua narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at this kitten with beautiful patterns.

"There must be a lot of wild cats around here, right?"

Hathaway pushed the crazy thoughts out of her head and tried to dispel her roommate Ashluya's curiosity.

"Kitten, are you Lady Freya?"

But Ahilua ignored Hathaway's dissuasion and quietly approached the kitten, trying to catch the kitten.

But the kitten seemed to have read through Ashilua's thoughts. The moment the girl rushed towards her, she nimbly jumped aside, allowing Ashilua to miss her.

The kitten even licked its paws leisurely, as if taunting Asilua.

"Give up, wild cats are very naughty."

Seeing this, Hathaway hurriedly advised.

Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Mao Mao conveniently landed and walked towards the teaching building, then went around into a small forest next to the square.

"strangeness."

Asilua dropped the broom and quickly followed the kitten. Seeing this, Hathaway hesitated for a moment and followed.

I saw the kitten walking quickly on the stone road, and soon came to a bench.

There was a man sitting on the bench, holding an open book.

The two girls immediately hid because the man was none other than the principal of Crescent College, Rainer Inglet.

The kitten jumped up to the position next to Reiner familiarly. From a certain distance, the two girls could clearly see that Reiner's mouth was moving and saying something, while the kitten's ears were moving slightly, as if listening to his words. .

"The principal is talking to the cat?"

Ahilua tilted her head, but she saw that Reiner's eyes quickly fell on the bushes where the two of them were hiding.

"He probably didn't notice us, right?"

Hathaway was a little nervous and squeezed the corner of Asilua's clothes.

"should not."

As soon as Asilua opened her mouth, she saw Reiner, who was looking over here, raise his right hand and raise a finger, making a hissing gesture.
