Meet the principal

After sending Mr. Gro away, Reiner returned to the principal's office. He flipped through the student information on the filing cabinet, trying to check on Dana's condition.

Since Crescent College didn't have many students, Reiner quickly found Dana Kristen's admission information.

After opening this information that had been sealed for three years, Reiner discovered that the facts were not what he thought.

Originally, Reiner thought that Dana's family should be some poor nobles who only had their names, but the information said that her parents were genuine mages.

Adol Christian and Elena Kristen are both fourth-ring mages. However, their couple died ten years ago due to the collapse of a demiplane. Dana's current guardian It was her uncle, Chester Christine.

"Collapse of a demiplane?"

Reiner knew that there were many demiplanes outside this world called the Atlas Continent. These demiplanes had rich resources, unique ecological environments, and all kinds of strange things. Biological existence, so far, mages have brought three hundred and two demiplanes under their rule.

The collapse of the demiplane is very rare, usually caused by the irreversible damage to the core of the plane. Even the fourth-ring mage is powerless when facing the collapse of the demiplane and is buried in the gap of the void.

"Inherited the bloodline of both parents, so the magic power reserve should be higher than that of ordinary people?"

Reiner thought that the failure of ordinary people to cast spells would not cause that level of destructive power. After seeing Dana's birth, Reiner realized that maybe the theory of the blood mages was not completely false. Children born between mages have magical reserves. It is indeed slightly better.

But it is obvious that under the modern magic system, Dana cannot successfully construct a spell model, so no amount of magic will help.

Looking through Dana's transcript again, Reiner found that this student's written test scores were all good, but the courses that required actual magic casting were all very bad without exception. It seemed that she might be the type of student who has difficulty casting spells. .

Dong dong dong——

There was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be Claire.

She was still wearing the old-fashioned mage robe, but instead of wearing a pointed hat, she had her hair tied back and her ears exposed, which gave her a bit more youthful air.

"Just now I seemed to hear a noise coming from the old star observation tower. Did you demolish it?"

Claire knew that Reiner was planning to rebuild the Star Observation Tower, so she asked.

"No, there was an accident... By the way, Claire, do you know Dana Christine?"

Reiner suddenly remembered that Claire was the dean in name only, so he asked.

"Danna, what's wrong? She is a good child. She usually works hard and helps Mrs. Freya with a lot of work."

Claire narrowed her eyes slightly, like a cat on alert, worried that Reiner would do something strange to Dana again.

"Do you know about her parents' situation?"

"Parents? Doesn't she only have one uncle?"

Claire tilted her head, bit her fingers, and seemed to be thinking.

"Well, it's really unreliable to count on you."

Reiner sighed softly, and then handed Claire the note with the names of Dana's parents.

"You can help me go to the library to look up the affairs of these two people, published papers, and relevant news reports. I can find them relatively quickly starting about ten years ago."

"Hey, are these two Dana's parents?"

Claire asked as she looked at the note.

"Well, I met her today, so I'm a little curious."

Reiner replied that he had no intention of solving the students' knots one by one. He was simply interested in the research on Dana's parents, what the demiplane was, and what the structure of the world was like.

This is something that cannot be accessed on earth.

"There's really nothing I can do about you..."

Claire was a little helpless, but still accepted the note.

"By the way, Charlotte said that the second batch of paintings has been completed, giving you time to confirm. Mr. Antoine also has some Coke production line improvements. Also, this letter is from the Rainbow Tower. I think it’s the result of the paper review.”

Reiner's work has gradually become busier recently, and Claire is very good at assisting him in planning his itinerary, making work arrangements, and taking on the role of secretary.

It would be nice if he could wear the corresponding uniform, Reiner thought idly.

He took the envelope—this should be the main reason why Claire came—then confirmed the mark of the Rainbow Tower on it, and then opened it.

Claire is right, that is indeed the review opinion of the paper.

Unlike the previous ones, this review was not divided into three parts, but only one piece of paper.

Skipping the summary paragraph as usual, Reiner focused on the review results:

Dear Mr. Rainer Ingle, regarding your paper "Properties of the two new elements "Ocles" and "Hydra" obtained by electrolysis of water and analysis of their compounds, as well as several conjectures about combustion theory" , after careful review, the review committee made the following review: the paper is rigorously written, the experimental design is reasonable and logical, the experimental content is groundbreaking and subversive, the properties of the discovered elements are well measured, and the old theory is The proofs put forward by the negative and new theories are well-founded and convincing, and the way of thinking contained in them deserves to be vigorously promoted.

Behind this official comment, there is also a comment written by His Excellency Frederic Dmitry himself:

Rainer Ian Gray's paper not only reveals to us the deeper mysteries of matter, but also tells everyone that strength and rank cannot limit a person's exploration of the truth. Even ordinary people may be able to promote The wheel of history.

Finally, there is a simple sentence of review results.

If the thesis is approved, 300 academic points will be awarded.

"Three hundred academic points..."

Reiner put down the review opinions and calculated it secretly.

Including citation points, this paper on the electrolysis of water should bring him more than 3,000 points. From a purely academic point perspective, this is enough for Crescent College to reach the standard of a sixth-level college. Reiner's current focus is It should be put on school construction and wait for the review in a month.

"Three hundred points!"

Claire's eyes widened. Although it was expected that Reiner's paper would cause a sensation, three hundred academic points were unprecedented. In history, I am afraid that only His Excellency Isaris Ebdon's paper on the Three Laws of Motion was the only one. Comparable to it.

If the scope is limited to the realm of non-high-level mages, then Reiner is indeed unprecedented.

More importantly, he is just a mage apprentice!

"Hey, there's another piece of paper here."

Reiner looked at the envelope. There was a piece of paper inside that recorded the citation points obtained by his first paper. To his surprise, the paper published in "Monthly Alchemist Griffin" also immediately I got five hundred academic points.

"This is a windfall."
