The cold weather came as expected, and after a few days of noise, the Crescent Academy finally regained its calm.

Unlike the summer holidays, the end of the Dragon Sleep Moon is the New Year, and the five-day festival will be held throughout the mainland, and people will also need to return to their homes and reunite with their families, so there are far fewer people staying in school during the winter break than during the summer vacation.

Reiner counted it, and apart from Claire and Fina, who lived here, there was only Arimia and, oh, a cat, Lady Freya.

While continuing to develop the magic computer, Reiner also followed Issaris in preparation for the New Year. Lord Alberton's exploration of the ruins passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day of the Dragon's Sleep Month, and it was also the last day of the year.

The snow had been falling, and the snow that had only covered the grass was now able to make a deep footprint, and even Claire no longer wanted to go out to play, but curled up in the house, enjoying the warmth of the room.

As night fell, the snow did not stop, and in the lounge, the fire was blazing, lighting up the room.

On the couch across from the fire, Claire was draped in a blanket and silk pajamas, curled up on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate in her hand, squinting her eyes to take in the goodness.

Next to Claire, a tiger-striped kitten curled up in a ball and fell asleep peacefully.

Next to the two of them, Elimia, still wearing a long dress, held a copy in her hand, reading silently, sometimes falling into thought, sometimes becoming melancholy, and sometimes snickering.

Outside the window, the snow is falling, but inside the house is warm and cozy, and it is easy to feel burnout.

At this time, Fina walked in with several plates floating beside her.

"It's dinner time."

With that, Fina waved her hand, and the tables and chairs in the lounge moved on their own, and soon a simple table was formed outside the stove, and the plates with lids beside her slowly descended to the table.

"Whew-"

The first to smell the food, Madame Freya moved her tail and got up and stretched.

"Ah, it's food!"

Claire swept away her previous predicament, stood up at once, and came to the table with her slippers in her slippers, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table.

In the middle is a roast chicken with a rich aroma, which is also the highlight of the dinner due to tradition, which is considered the main dish for this meal at the end of the year in the kingdom of Aster.

The grilled chicken surrounds it with a very sophisticated set of dishes, from seafood to steak, vegetables to soups, that are no slouch for the top dishes in fine dining restaurants.

"These are all done by Mr. Reiner."

Fina added, glancing at the entrance to the lounge.

Reiner walked in just in time, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw Claire's eyes glowing.

"Recently, I studied the ingredients here in my free time, and I hope the taste will not be too bad."

After all, there are still some differences between the ingredients of the two worlds, and many spices also need to be distinguished, not to mention that there are magical creatures here, from the taste to the cooking method are completely different from the earth, Reiner needs a certain amount of time to try them one by one.

However, combined with the recipes of his predecessors, Reiner quickly found a way to deal with these foods, and just now in the kitchen, he used the hands of the mage to cook several dishes at the same time, so as to ensure that each dish was delivered to the table at the best time.

Everyone sat down around the table, and Reiner waved his hand, and the wine bottles floated in to them, pouring a small glass of red wine for everyone.

"Drinking alcohol is not usually recommended, but since it's the end of the year, let's have a little fun."

Reiner raised his glass and took a sip, the wine he had purchased from his partner in the Toprest Chamber of Commerce, and it was so rich and layered that even women who don't usually drink alcohol could quickly enjoy it.

"This year has gone by so fast, and it feels like it's gone without eating anything."

Claire took a sip of red wine, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she sighed as she looked at the falling snow outside the window.

"You've eaten a lot."

Reiner smiled and motioned for everyone to start their meal, and he took some meat, put it on a plate, and pushed it in front of Lady Freya.

"Whew!"

Seemingly pleased with Reiner's actions, Lady Freya let out a loud cry, licked her paws, and began to enjoy the food on her plate.

"Is it ...... this year?"

Arimia glanced thoughtfully at Reiner, the headmaster who had already fought a crab in disgrace, and even used magic to peel the crab's shell without hesitation.

Shaking her head, Elimia gracefully slice a piece of steak and put it in her mouth, and soon tasted that it was grain-raised beef from the Northland, and its meat was tender and juicy, perfect for cooking like this.

"We have to work harder next year to hit the second ring."

Fina nodded, as if cheering herself on.

"Wow, Fina, are you ready to hit the second ring?"

Claire exclaimed as she bit off a piece of the chicken thigh and swallowed it quickly.

For ordinary people, it is already extremely rapid to be promoted to two levels in a row within a year, you must know that the average time for mages in the entire continent to advance from the first ring to the second ring is three years, and from the second ring to the third ring is five years, this is still the result of simple statistics of the success of the advancement, there are more mages, who cannot be promoted to the next rank for a long time, and finally die with regrets.

And like Reiner, who has risen to the seventh rank in a row and directly achieved a high-level mage, there has only been one person in the past, and it is very likely that no one will surpass him in the future.

Because as the study of magic deepened, mages increasingly felt that their exploration of the world had reached the limit, and in many ways, even if there was progress, it was only a small step, and the feedback from the world became more and more difficult to obtain, so mages could only rely on the traditional way of constantly honing their magic skills and meditating to improve the heart lake.

It will be more and more difficult for people like Reiner to get feedback from the world by subverting existing theories in order to advance in the future, and in fact, many people think that Reiner will stop at the top of the advanced level, and it will be extremely difficult to enter the realm of legends.

"Well, I'm ready to engrave the Second Ring spell into the Heart Lake, and I should be able to succeed in the next year."

Fina nodded, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Reiner on the side, implying some anticipation.

"Although you can advance quickly, it's better to stabilize your foundation and try again, don't worry, Fina."

Hearing this, Reiner thought for a moment and said to Fina.

"I see."

Fina nodded and looked out the window.

The snow is still falling.
