Reiner hurriedly opened the envelope, which was indeed Claire's handwriting.

The content is very simple, the student president of the Crescent Moon Academy, who was originally scheduled to participate in the magic test, Arimia. Feng. Elbiore did not show up in the magic test room, and Claire contacted the other candidates after settling the other candidates, only to get a reply that Arymia had given up on taking the magic test.

In desperation, Claire had no choice but to write to Reiner for help.

"Is that girl......"

Reiner read the contents of the letter again before putting it away.

The student council president, Elimia, had always been very critical of Reiner, and even did not take the mock exam, Reiner had always thought that it was just a simple personality incompatibility, but now it seems that the problem is somewhat serious.

If Arimia's family was a nobleman or a wealthy merchant who had no intention of making their children mages just to get an education in magic, it would be understandable not to take the magic test.

Lovely Limia's family, the Elbiore family is not the kind of merchant family, not only that, but her family is still a pure-blood family with a long history of more than 800 years, and they are proud of their status as mages, why is this happening?

As the Ernest meeting drew to a close, Reiner weighed it up and decided to leave for the city of Begel in the province of Ammonet, where Elbiore's family was located.

In any case, he is also the principal of Crescent Academy and cannot abandon his students.

Before leaving, Reiner wrote a letter to Lord Dmitry, explaining to him the reason for his early departure and hoping for understanding, and then took up the pen and wrote a letter to Claire, asking her to join her in Beagle City after overseeing the magic test.

Early the next morning, Reiner took a regular ferry from the airport to Torondo, the capital of the province of Ammonet, and then took a steam train to the town of Beagle, located in the eastern part of the province.

The city was a little smaller than Priest, and Reiner read the brochure on the train and learned that the city of Beagle was still mainly agricultural, and the economy was not very developed.

The reason why the city was founded here was also because of the Elbiore family, a long-established family that was a hegemon in the ancient Magic Empire, at that time, the entire family ruled over almost half of the province of Ammonay, extending to a small part of the territory of neighboring Bunajien, and the city of Beagle was the central city of that era.

Until now, most of the natives of Beagle City are descendants of servants of the Elbiore family, and most of them are proud to be servants of the Elbiore family, although after the fall of the ancient magical empire, the Elbiore family surrendered most of their territory to the Magical Society, but their influence in this area is still far-reaching.

Walking out of the station, Reiner saw a large castle on the outskirts of the city, built on the hill, leaving a huge shadow in the afternoon sun, as if it was about to envelop the town, it was clearly the middle of summer day, but the castle looked extremely gloomy, revealing an indescribable chill.

"It's like a castle where vampires live."

Reiner muttered to himself, his modified robe dress caught the attention of passers-by, who saluted Reiner with a look of awe in their eyes that made Reiner feel a little uncomfortable.

He checked the time, and then went to Claire's hotel, where he had arrived first.

"What, she's out?"

However, when he arrived at the hotel, Reiner learned from the innkeeper that Claire, who had stayed last night, had left early this morning and had never returned.

"Where will she go at this time?"

Reiner pondered, his eyes turning to the castle outside the window.

......

"I've been waiting here for half an hour, please let me know directly if Mr. Elbiore isn't there."

In front of the heavy metal iron door, a woman in a mage's robe suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and said.

"I'm sorry, my lord is too busy, but he'll make time to meet you, Miss Sally Win."

A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper said, although it was an apology, there was no trace of apology on his face, and his tone was cold and perfunctory.

"How do I think you're kidding me......"

On the other side of the iron door, Claire pursed her lips and whispered.

In order to meet this traditional pure-blood mage, Claire deliberately changed into a traditional mage robe, but the weather was hot and dry, and her robe was already soaked with sweat after waiting for a long time, which made the teacher even more irritable.

She clasped her hands to her chest and tapped her elbows with her fingertips, and suddenly, Claire crossed the butler's shoulders and saw a middle-aged man with several maids walking in the garden, and a young man beside him, talking something.

"Hey, isn't that Mr. Elbiore?"

The butler turned his head at Claire's words, raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied.

"No, that's not a master, just an ordinary guest."

“......”

This is obviously talking nonsense with her eyes open, and Claire knows that she has been deceived, and she immediately shouts loudly.

"Mr. Elbiore, I'm Claire, the Director of the Crescent Academy. Sally Win, about your daughter Elimia......"

Her shouts caught the attention of the man who was scattered with the maid, who looked this way, frowned, said a few words to the young man beside him, and then turned and walked away without looking back.

“......”

Claire was about to erupt when she heard a flirtatious voice coming from behind the butler.

This is the young man who had just talked to Lord Elbiore, he was wearing a classical mage robe, he looked like a second-ring mage, the man had pale blonde curly hair, and his appearance was quite good, but his eyes were full of contempt.

"Hehe, it's just a mongrel mage, and you still want to meet your father, who gave you the courage? Hagrid, why can't you even handle these things, and you have to bother me to come here myself. ”

He asked, the family coat of arms on his robes indicating that the man was a member of the Elbiore family, and judging by the meaning of the words, it was the son of the Elbiore family, the elder brother of Elimia.

"Hybrids? What do you mean!!? ”

Visibly insulted, Claire stomped her foot angrily, and she tried to take a step forward, but soon, a magical barrier appeared above the iron door, blocking her steps.

The defense above this is at least the level of the four rings, and Claire is a one-ring mage, and there is no way to break through at all.

"I said you're a mongrel, don't you understand?"

He said, looking at Claire like he was looking at livestock.

"I've heard that you're just an orphan, and if you're lucky enough to pass the assessment and become a mage, in our eyes, this kind of existence is a mongrel among mages, and you don't deserve to be called a mage at all! Honestly, while that guy wasn't clean, it seemed like a mistake to send her to that bullshit Crescent Academy. ”

In the eyes of the pure-bloods, only the mages who have grown up from the ancient magic empire are authentic mages, and those who have been promoted through the magic academy and are mages from ordinary people are mongrels, but this word is extremely insulting, and the pure-blood faction will not say this kind of word at will in formal occasions, otherwise it is easy to be appealed to the Magic Association by the insulted.

"You!"

Claire was furious, but she couldn't do anything about it when she was standing behind a safe magical barrier, making her jump to her feet.

"Bastard?"

It seems, a familiar voice came from behind Claire.

Claire turned around and saw Reiner walking towards her, and with a feeling of finally being relieved, she hurriedly explained to Reiner what had happened.

"Before insulting others at will, it's better to think about it yourself."

After listening to Claire's explanation, Reiner said to the man with a blank face and a cold tone.

"Are you worthy?"
