Alchemy, the art of turning decay into magic, based on matter and using magic as a catalyst, is a basic skill that mages need to master, but few people delve into alchemy from the beginning.

Tracing back to the source, Reiner thinks it should be the reason why the cost is too high.

Materials cost money, recipes cost money, experimental tools cost money, especially in the early stage when alchemy is not proficient, failure is commonplace, unless it comes with a plug-in such as a smart chip, it is almost impossible to have any qualified output, in other words, it is to burn money.

Although a bottle of potion casually prepared by a high-level national alchemist may be worth a month's income from the hard work of an ordinary mage, because alchemy is too big a late-stage technology, no one will be interested.

In the academic world, there is also a joke that "alchemy is poor for three generations, and machinery destroys a lifetime", and alchemy and another tyrant subject, mechanics, are extremely money-burning majors.

Although Xia Luo has a good talent in alchemy, she herself has not considered taking this path at all, there is no other reason, that is, because her family is poor, her original plan is to take the path of an elemental mage like her father, so that she can earn the first money as soon as possible and publish her research results faster.

"Uh, Mr. Headmaster, did I hear me right?"

So after hearing Reiner's words, Charlotte's first reaction was that she was hallucinating.

It was the real gold coins that supported the alchemy study, and she didn't have that much money.

She couldn't understand how she, as an ordinary student, could accept such help?

"You heard me right, Xia Luo, I know that there are many students who have better grades than you, but academically, if you want to make grades, you can't blindly follow the books, I don't need a textbook porter, I need an assistant who knows how to think."

Reiner has pointed it out, knowing that in this era when knowledge is relatively closed and authority is still greater than science, it is not only wisdom but also courage to unearth experimental phenomena that contradict current theories.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and even Reiner believes that Charlotte was not the first to discover this, but after confirming his experiments, he can still assert himself in the face of the suppression of authority, which many people do not have.

Perhaps Reiner hadn't crossed over, and the girl would have been unjustly punished, and eventually forced to abandon her discoveries in order to complete her studies and write her answers against her will on the test papers.

Thinking about this, Reiner suddenly felt that his crossing was a little more meaningful.

"But can a student like me really do it?"

Xia Luo thought of her father, in the family, her father is the greatest authority, because he has not made any achievements in the field of magic, so he pinned his hopes on Xia Luo, and treated her harshly since she was a child, killing Xia Luo all interests that have nothing to do with magic, and it is because of this that Xia Luo's relatively introverted personality has been formed.

"I don't know."

However, Reiner's answer was beyond Charlotte's expectations, and she expected the headmaster to say something encouraging, but she gave Charlotte such a sentence.

"Huh?"

That's not how it is acted according to the regular script, Xia Luo thought of the passages in the extracurricular novels she had read.

"Whether you can do it or not, I can't make up my mind, no matter how talented people are, they will be reduced to mediocrity, in the same way, no matter how ordinary and ordinary people can create miracles, I can't predict your future, but I only know one thing."

Reiner took the educational theories that he believed in on Earth, and Charlotte was left thinking.

"If you don't do it, you can't do it."

This sentence made Xia Luo's eyes widen slightly, as if she understood something, and she didn't seem to understand much, but in any case, the seeds of independent thinking had been planted in the heart of this girl.

Claire watched the conversation between the two the whole time, and did not speak, she thought that Reiner would be the kind of guy who blindly encouraged students without considering the actual situation, but judging from the performance just now, this guy seems to be still ...... Quite a set?

But before Claire could figure out Reiner's routine, the headmaster turned his gaze and looked at Claire with a meaningful look, which made the young dean shudder.

"Then Mr. Claire, according to the agreement, Xia Luo successfully proved her conclusion, should you make any indications?"

"Uh......"

Claire was a little hesitant when Reiner said this.

"The maid pretended to be something...... I do what I say. ”

"I mean, you should apologize to Xia Luo."

Reiner smiled and continued.

This sentence made Claire's face flush, as if she had been holding her breath for a long time, she felt that she was indeed being mocked by this guy, but she had no choice but to sigh lightly and look at Xia Luo, who was speechless.

"I'm sorry, Charlotte. Cruane-san, I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you to be blind, and I hope to get your forgiveness. ”

Claire lowered her head, she was more upright, and since she found her mistake, she would apologize decisively.

"No, I'm causing trouble for the teacher too......"

Charlotte nodded slightly and accepted Claire's apology.

"As for the maid outfit, Miss Claire, do you need me to help you prepare?"

As soon as the conversation turned, Reiner's words put Claire in an embarrassment.

"Cai, I don't need your help!"

Claire turned her face away, seemingly quite uncomfortable with Reiner's flirtatation.

Although she is the dean of teaching, Claire, who grew up in this academy since she was a child, has almost zero experience dealing with men, and even if she doesn't have any good feelings for Reiner, she is still caught off guard by Reiner, who has a lot of routines.

"I advise you to get ready as soon as possible, because we may have to go out the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"You're going out?"

Claire couldn't figure out what to do outside the school during this time?

"As I said, this drink is going to be an opportunity to save Crescent Academy, and this time I need to go out and find a workshop that can process it."

There is no concept of a factory in this world, and most of the products are produced by the alchemy workshop, similar to the small handmade workshops on the planet.

"And it's 'we' going out together."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Claire panicked, and some indescribable plots in countless novels about her boss and female subordinates going out only to have some indescribable plots flashed through her mind.

"You can be a mascot to make it easier for me to negotiate."

Unexpectedly, Reiner came up with a strange word, which made Claire and Charlotte confused.

"Mascot...... What is it? ”
