When he woke up in the morning, the kitten was gone, leaving only a few tufts of cat hair, Reiner yawned, got up and cleaned up the table, and checked the contents of the paper again.

He first sent his revisions in an owl, and then put Fina's father's papers in a file bag.

Reiner didn't know if the paper review committee would accept a deceased person's paper, so he decided to send it in person and wrote a letter to Mercury Balance explaining why.

Packing his bags, Reiner meets Fina as he goes downstairs.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Reiner asked with a smile as he rubbed Fina's short hair, which had not been carefully groomed.

"Hmm."

Fina nodded, as if she was still a little uncomfortable with Reiner's actions, but she didn't object, she stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, she finally spoke.

"Can I really stay here?"

She was referring to Reiner's hiring of herself, although at the time, such a move should have been considered a contingency plan, but Reiner didn't say anything more after leaving Sur Town, which made Fina a little panicked.

"Do you mean the position of assistant teacher, of course you can stay here if you want."

Reiner said dryly.

"If you get excellent grades after the magic test and want to find a better place to study, I will also write you a letter of recommendation, although the reputation of the Crescent Academy is not good, but the recommendation of the winner of the Hohenheim Gold Cup is probably quite weighty."

Whether to go or stay, Reiner leaves it to Fina to decide.

"Still, if you've been frustrated outside, can't find a way forward, and want a place to rest, then you're always welcome back to Crescent Academy, your new home."

Hearing Reiner's words, Fina's eyes widened slightly.

She thought she didn't have a place to call home, but Reiner told her that Crescent Academy was her new home.

Her nose was a little sour, and Fina looked away, not wanting Reiner to notice her gaffe.

"Claire probably hasn't woken up yet, you can tell her later, I'll have to stay away for a few days."

"Out of the house?"

Fina's eyes were still a little red, and she looked at Reiner suspiciously, they had just returned from Sur Town a few days ago, and Reiner was going out again?

"That's right, I perfected your father's thesis, and I'm going to help him get an honor that deserves him."

Reiner patted the file bag in his hand.

“...... Thank you. ”

Fina seemed to have a lot to say, but it was only a sentence in the end, and she watched Reiner leave, and it was a long time before she started again.

......

Reiner's destination is Ernest in the Midland Federation, thousands of miles away from Priest, where Crescent Academy is located, and requires a float boat to sail.

The reason why he chose this place is that Ernest is going to hold an academic conference, which is different from the annual conference held by the Mercury Balance Organization, and Ernest is hosted by the Midland Federation, and they invite many academic powers, including legendary mages, regardless of faction or nationality, to carry out a week-long academic exchange activity in Ernest.

Reiner was preparing to go to this meeting.

He had learned about this event through a correspondence with His Excellency Dmitry, but he was hesitant to attend it because of the long distance, and now that he had his own mission, of course Reiner had to go to the meeting.

The float slowly ascended, the dense city buildings gradually became smaller, and the pedestrians on the street soon became like ants, and further up, the clouds obscured the view, leaving only a pure white and the distant blue.

The floatship headed straight for Ernest, so there were quite a few mages among the passengers.

Similar to the time of the mercury balance, there were many mages who hoped to make friends with some well-known mages through this event in order to obtain better resources, but this time it was not just alchemy mages.

Reiner bought a second-class ticket, which was affordable, and although it was not as spacious as a first-class room, with only one seat, it was soft and comfortable, and the waiter would provide drinks and good service.

The journey would last about five hours, and Reiner had planned to take a break to relieve the fatigue of the days of experimenting and writing papers, but the person sitting next to him seemed to be energetic.

"Let me tell you, do you know why the Ernest meeting was held in Ernest?"

Several young First Ring Mages were talking with great interest, not paying the slightest attention to the faces of the people around them.

"Why, I haven't heard of this." "Isn't it because this meeting is hosted by the Midland Federation?"

"That's because Ernest of the Midland Federation is the place where the first stargate was discovered on the main plane, and it has an important commemorative significance for the wizarding world!"

The man's voice suddenly became louder, causing several people around him to let out a small exclamation.

It was almost like a schoolboy's spring outing, Reiner thought, and he wanted to warn them out loud, but another stern voice had already echoed in the cabin.

"A few of you have influenced others, please be careful about your words and actions."

It was a woman's voice, with a bit of awe, Reiner turned his head to look sideways, it was a woman sitting on the other side of the aisle from her, she had long pale red hair, amber eyes, wearing a designed skirt mage robe, and the cuffs had four gold trim flashes, this was a four-ring intermediate mage.

Hearing the woman's reprimand, those people wanted to refute a few words, but immediately shut up after seeing the woman's four gold edges.

There are not many four-ring mages near Priest, and any of them are characters with heads and faces, although Reiner doesn't know this woman, and he doesn't know why she appeared in this second-class cabin, but think about it, it's not something that these rookies who have just been promoted for less than half a year can offend at will.

Seeing that the people had stopped, the woman nodded in satisfaction, and her eyes swept to the side, catching a glimpse of Reiner looking at her.

"Thank you."

Sensing the other party's gaze, Reiner smiled slightly and said.

"It's just a matter of duty."

The woman didn't say much, leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.

Reiner was about to rest for a while, but while he was still half-asleep, he was awakened by an alarm.

"What's wrong?"

Could it be that he was really so unlucky that he encountered a float boat accident?

Reiner thought to himself as he saw the waiter in a hurry, moving from the aisle to the aisle, and Reiner looked out the window to see that the floatship had reached a city top.

Bang –

A bump hit, causing the people in the cabin to exclaim, the spring outing-like one-ring mages had long since disappeared, and the other passengers were also flustered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we encountered turbulence on the way down and are now stabilizing the floatboat, so I hope you don't panic."

The waiter finally brought accurate information, he said, trying to calm the mood, but it only added to the panic.

Mages below the middle level simply can't fly on their own, and if the floatship loses control and crashes, almost no one will escape.

Under such circumstances, Reiner saw the female mage beside him stand up with an indifferent expression.

"Waiter, take me to see how it goes."
