Act 241. Lesson 1

Many of these students had heard of Reiner's name, but their sources of information varied.

Most of the students from the wizarding world have heard of the name of the youngest Hohenheim Gold Cup winner in history, and the name of this award winner is quite intimidating before they have a deep understanding of the wizarding world, not to mention that since the bloody wedding of the Elbiore family, some parents often use the scare method of "if you don't sleep, find Ian Gray to blow your head off" to urge the child to sleep, Reiner's name has spread more widely.

The other part, the children from the families of nobles and merchants, they have more contact with the Ian Gray family, although this business empire across several countries on the continent seems to be quietly invisible at first glance, but if you investigate carefully, you will find that there is the shadow of Ian Gray in all aspects of daily life, maybe your soap is produced by a certain alchemy workshop, but the raw materials of the soap are from a certain estate of the Ian Gray family, so they are also a little more curious about the school in charge of the third son of the Ian Gray family.

At this time, Reiner stood on the podium, looking at these students with different backgrounds and identities, but they were all sitting in front of him, and sighed a little, the reason why he wanted to teach them the first lesson was because of the habit of being a high school teacher on the earth, and on the other hand, it was also because he wanted to better convey his educational philosophy.

The students were afraid to speak, staring timidly at Reiner, waiting for his reprimand.

But instead of speaking, Reiner picked up the chalk and wrote a sentence on the blackboard.

Why Study?

After writing, he put down the chalk and patted the chalk ash on his hand, Reiner could naturally do it with the hands of a mage, but in order to deepen the impression of these students, he still did it himself.

The floral characters written in the lingua franca are beautiful, but the question is unanswered.

Reiner looked at the silent student as if he had returned to his high school days, and he slowly walked to the podium and knocked on the table of a girl sitting in the first row.

"What's your name?"

He asked, the girl had beautiful dark blonde curls, and although her face was a little freckled, she looked quite lively and cute.

"My name is Hathaway, Hathaway. Rackford. ”

She replied, her voice soft, but her words clear.

Luckford is a magical family, and her parents also hold public positions in the Magical Society, which is considered a magical civil servant in this world.

"Hathaway, what is your purpose in studying magic?"

Reiner asked, causing the child to bite his lower lip and fall into thought, before replying after a moment.

"As long as you can become a mage, you can work in the Magic Association...... That's what my father told me. ”

Obviously, at only thirteen years old, she didn't have much contact with the wizarding world, even if she was exposed to her parents on a daily basis, and in her opinion, it was always right to work in the direction of her parents.

"What are you going to do after you join the Magic Society?"

Asked, Reiner thought to himself that no matter in that world, civil servants are still quite popular.

"This ......"

Hathaway's child was speechless, she was very troubled, she looked a little anxious, and she was about to cry.

"It's okay, you can sit down first."

Reiner didn't want to make his student cry on his first day of school, and he didn't want to ask any more questions, but continued to look at a student sitting in the back row.

"What's your name?"

The student's long dark brown hair was curled up at the back of her head, and she was even wearing light makeup, quite mature, and she had a bracelet studded with jewels on her wrist, which was very extravagant.

"I am Eshilua of the Heidegger family."

Baron Heidegger made a lot of money from his family's inheritance, and like any other nobleman, he sent his daughter to give her access to the world of magic, and it didn't matter to him whether her daughter could become a mage or not.

Ashlua, who grew up under the immersion of social circles since childhood, is naturally more mature.

"What did you come here to study magic for?"

Reiner asked, and the girl nodded, and continued.

"If you have been exposed to magic, you will be able to come into contact with a magical society, and as the daughter of a baron, I must maintain a good relationship with the mages for the development of the territory in the future."

Her answer surprised Reiner, but then Reiner continued.

"If it weren't for being the Baron's daughter, but just personally, would you have come to learn magic?"

This unexpected question made Ahirlua speechless for a moment, and she stopped talking, but she couldn't organize the words, so Reiner sat her down.

After that, Reiner asked the rest of the students as a simple self-introduction session, some of them because of the admonition of the family, some of them because of the expectations of their parents, but Reiner did not hear the answers he wanted.

In the process, Arimia and Fina also came to the back of the classroom to observe, which was the learning process as teachers, and they heard Reiner's inquiry, and when they saw the students, they also showed a slightly helpless expression.

After questioning the last student, Reiner returned to the podium, and in the face of these confused students, Reiner said.

"Just now, we have already communicated this question, why study, everyone's answer is different, but whether it is for the family's industry or for the expectations of your parents, it can be simplified to one answer, that is, you are learning for others."

Learn for the sake of others.

This sentence made these children who were not deeply involved in the world suddenly have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, as if a word woke them up in ignorance.

"Of course, the motivation for learning at the beginning is always for the sake of others, in order to make your parents happy, in order to prove that you are stronger than others, and in order to avoid the punishment brought by poor grades, but if you continue to be in this state, I dare say, it is difficult for you to become a full-fledged mage, and even if you are lucky enough to be promoted, it is difficult to continue to move forward."

Reiner's words sounded rather terrifying, and several students were a little nervous.

"Why? Because a person who learns for others, if he loses the supervision of this 'other', he will lose his goal and sink, and everything he does is to be recognized by others, and eventually forget his own pursuit. ”

When I was in high school on Earth, teachers often told students that everything would be fine when they got to college, so many students worked hard to get into college, but because they lost their goals, they abandoned their studies and ended up depressed.

It wasn't until after graduating from college that Reiner didn't think that the most difficult thing for people is not how to live, but not knowing what kind of life they want, which is the result of continuous learning to meet the expectations of their parents and family.

"You may not be able to deeply understand these words for the time being, but as the principal of a magic school, I have two things to tell you in the process of learning magic in the future, the first is not to learn for the sake of others, please study for the sake of improving yourself and enriching yourself."

Reiner paused, then continued.

"Second, finding the way forward is sometimes even more important than moving forward."
