"Ma'am?"

Reiner was confused, he didn't have any romantic debts that would lead to a woman coming to his door at Lake Wagner.

Frederick smiled knowingly and patted Reiner on the shoulder.

"Gifted people are always welcome, but be careful not to dwell on them."

Well, he seemed to have some misunderstanding about himself, and Reiner couldn't explain it, so he had to take his leave and follow Anton to the reception room to meet the woman who came from nowhere.

As the meeting had been over for a while, most of the mages had left, and the whole manor seemed a little lonely, and the two of them walked in the hallway, their shoes on the masonry floor, making a crisp sound.

"Mr. Ian Gray, I didn't expect you to win the Hohenheim Gold Cup."

Anton said, with some emotion, on the one hand, he thought that Reiner was fooled, and on the other hand, the other party was younger than him, but he had already won the highest award in the field of alchemy.

Even if Reiner was really a disciple of a certain Excellency as he guessed, then the other party's knowledge far exceeded his own, which really made Anton sigh to himself.

"I'm ashamed that I'm only a second-ring mage."

"Don't say that, Monsieur Ferrier, if you devote yourself to your studies, you will always achieve something, and if it is really a piece of gold, then it will always shine."

Reiner changed the words of the earth slightly, which made Anton stunned.

"Yes, His Excellency Braggs also said that truth is only between perseverance and effort."

Impressed by Reiner's humility, Anton said as if muttering to himself, and he came to the door of the parlor, pushed it open, and guided Reiner in.

"I won't bother you."

With that, he left, leaving Reiner in the reception room.

He wasn't alone, there were several mages sitting in the corner exchanging scholarly results, and when they met Reiner, the discussion stalled for a moment before continuing.

Reiner quickly found the lady.

Because that's Claire.

The young teacher was wearing a dark brown plaid dress, small leather shoes, and a beige coat.

She sat on the soft chair, looked around with some uneasiness, and clenched her hands into fists in front of her chest, looking a little rustic and cute.

Soon, Claire saw Reiner, and she bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before standing up.

"When I woke up, Mrs. Michelle said that you had left Crescent Academy, and I found a ticket at the bedside and followed it."

She spoke, with a hint of anger in her tone.

"You know, you're now the headmaster of Crescent Academy, if something goes wrong with you, then what should our school do?"

"Uh, sorry...... Wait, you're worried about me? ”

Reiner asked rhetorically, leaving the teacher a little confused about what to do.

"I, I'm just fulfilling my obligation as the dean of students to supervise the principal's every move, if you have an accident halfway, then the ownership of the school will be very troublesome, that's all, don't think too much!"

Stomping her feet, Claire hurriedly argued.

A mage next to him noticed the quarrel between the two, but he only regarded it as a small fight between ordinary couples, and Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to it.

"Good, good, but ......"

Reiner raised his hand to indicate that he was just joking, and he looked Claire up and down to confirm the other party's physical condition, but in Claire's eyes, it was more like judging her dress.

"This was lent to me by Mrs. Michelle, saying she wore it when she was younger."

When she said this, her voice was much quieter, and she should have felt a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Michelle's clothes are probably the same taste that was fashionable decades ago, and Claire may have encountered a lot of ridicule along the way.

"It's pretty good, really, and besides, I want to ask if you're okay with your body?"

Reiner smiled, causing Claire to puff out her cheeks, and it was clear that she had been teased again.

"No problem! Mrs. Michelle says that as long as it takes a while to regain her magic, it will be the same as before. ”

"That's good."

Nodding, Reiner seemed relieved.

"Hey, this should be the place where the mercury balance meets, I just heard about the Hohenheim Gold Cup, that should be a very powerful honor."

Claire leaned in, liking this anecdote seemed to be a woman's nature in any world.

"I heard that the winner of this award is very young, and I am really envious."

"yes, it's quite young."

Reiner was stunned for a moment before replying, it seems that the teacher did not know that the winner of the Hohenheim Gold Cup was standing in front of him this time, so he had a little idea of making a fool of himself.

"How is the evaluation of your paper, if those reviewers don't agree, we can try to find a senior reviewer......"

Claire added, like a mother worried about her child, chattering but not annoying.

"The results of the review of the paper are not bad."

Without explaining much, Reiner said lightly.

"That's great!"

With a bright expression, Claire clapped her hands, but immediately realized her gaffe and added.

"I'm worried about academic scores, you know, we're fifty points off......"

"Although I don't have a specific opinion yet, I think it should be more than 50 points."

Reiner shrugged, according to Frederick, the official review would be sent to Crescent Academy in a few days, and it was written by him and several high-ranking mages.

At the same time, Reiner's paper will also be published in the next issue of "Alchemy", ranking first, which should have an excellent effect on the paper being cited, of course, perhaps after today's meeting, the participating mages will spread the experience of these three days to all parts of the mainland, and Reiner has become a celebrity this time.

"Then Crescent Academy shouldn't have to be abolished, right?"

Claire asked, worried, with a hint of sadness hidden in her eyes.

"We have to pay close attention to the construction of the campus during this time, and you must know that the perfection of the school's teaching equipment is also the assessment standard."

Reiner wasn't very optimistic, and the academic points were currently earned entirely on his own, which was not a favorable situation for the school's evaluation, and he didn't know what kind of mentality the censors were looking at.

But that's all for later, Reiner thought, and he turned around and prepared to leave the estate with Claire.

"Where are we going now?"

Claire is unfamiliar with her life, so she can only follow Reiner closely, like a timid kitten.

"Go for a big meal."

But Reiner's next words made Claire's eyes light up.
