Life by the sea is always happy and short, and after spending three days at Sofitel's beach, everyone reluctantly boarded the train back to the city.

Before going back, the relevant investigators of the Magic Association rushed to North and made a note of the problem of the hot spring penguin, because of Reiner's name, so they did not forcibly take the penguin away, but made a record and let Reiner dispose of it.

From the penguin's body, the investigators examined some special substances, and soon traced its source, a cargo ship located inside the port of North.

The cargo ship is an industry owned by the Bruck Chamber of Commerce, and investigators quickly launched an investigation that uncovered a black industry chain of smuggling and selling rare creatures.

Reiner didn't care much about any of this, he just wanted to find out if there was a family with the penguin, but unfortunately, there seemed to be only one spa penguin on the ship, probably because Pepe was too young to be caught by hunters, and his parents may have been looking for their own children in Stanlia in the far north.

Reiner had no choice but to bring it back to Crescent Academy.

Reiner took the manual, prepared all the ingredients, put them in the storage room of the animal pen, and poured the hot spring water from Villa Sophinet into a sink.

The hot spring water flowed down the outlet of the tank, forming a small whirlpool, and soon, a surge of magic was felt, and the warm water poured into the compartment where the pen was divided into four.

It is arranged in the shape of a hot spring bath, with sleek stone baths and decorative knick-knacks, separated from the other three areas, with only one passage that allows Pepe to get through from next door.

Although it was a bit extravagant, Reiner still felt that it was better than anything else to be able to convert a part of the animal pen into a hot spring bath, and to be able to soak in the hot spring as much as you like on weekdays!

Because of the difference between men and women, Reiner also deliberately separated a small area as his own private bath, which was entered from the other side, eliminating the possibility of such a blushing and heart-pounding scene.

Pepe is no longer afraid of people, according to the examination of the relevant professional mage, it is a female penguin, healthy, well-developed, since coming to the animal pen, she often soaks in the hot springs to enjoy life, and also plays with the girls who come to the hot springs, which is really a little enviable.

It's just that whenever Claire comes here, Pepe always hides in the corner, as if feeling instinctive fear.

It's probably the instinct to be afraid of predators.

At the end of summer, the new semester of Crescent Academy has finally arrived.

The semester lasts from the month of Izumo (July) to the moon of starfall (October), followed by two consecutive months of winter break, and will not reopen until the spring at the end of the year.

This year, four students from Crescent Academy graduated, and among the graduates, Fina, who became a full-fledged mage, and Elimia, who was preparing to take the magic test at the end of the year, both remained at the school as assistant teachers, while the other two returned home to meet their own lives.

There are 12 new students, which is a huge increase from last year's three, but compared to those prestigious schools, it is still only a fraction.

However, this is already a breakthrough, at least Crescent Academy has not been abolished, and it is gradually improving.

In fact, a smaller number of students also has an advantage, as Reiner is able to tailor the lesson plan more locally to the local situation, so that each student can have their own learning plan and improve faster.

In schools like Brooklyn and Phoenix, because there are so many students, teachers mostly take a competitive approach, dividing students in the same grade into different classes according to their grades, and then re-dividing them according to their grades after each test.

In the long run, it is easy to lead to some students who are not at the same level as being able to keep up with the team and eventually stay in their own class, while a small number of students can rely on talent and hard work to gradually move up.

This teaching method has led to the excellent results of the magic test in both schools, after all, by the graduation year, the vast majority of students have given up taking the magic test, and the small number of top students who take the magic test naturally have excellent grades.

In the eyes of outsiders, Brooklyn and Phoenix are prestigious schools with a very high pass rate in the magic test, and the publicity effect is full of points, but people like Reiner who understand the strange situation seem to have a ladder to the upper echelons for those with excellent grades, and a dark abyss for those with poor grades.

At the opening ceremony, Reiner gave a speech by the principal, and at the same time, as before, asked the new students to think about their purpose of learning and write it down.

These newborns are only twelve or thirteen years old, and most of them are daughters of magical families or small nobles, and in their lives, the future planning seems to be something that has never been considered, as long as they follow what the adults say, they can reap a satisfying life.

But even though they were puzzled, the freshmen honestly used their imagination to write down some wishes, and Reiner looked at them in his office, as if he saw his students a few months ago, and couldn't help but smile.

Knock Knock Knock –

At this time, there was a knock on the door that brought Reiner back to his senses, and he saw Arimia in the teacher's robe standing in the doorway with several papers.

"Headmaster, you said earlier that the first class of the freshmen should be taught by yourself, and now it's almost time."

She said, sorting the papers in her hand into different areas of her desk, and packing up the papers that Reiner had reviewed before, like a competent secretary.

"Thanks, I see."

Reiner didn't care about Elimia's somewhat cold attitude, this student, although he always likes to taunt Reiner, is meticulous in his work, and quite trustworthy.

If only I could laugh more.

Reiner remembers seeing Elimia's smile in the Elbiore Manor, it was really unforgettable, but Elemia didn't smile at herself much except when she was at the beach before, no, even at the seaside, she didn't smile at Reiner.

As a principal, it is naturally his responsibility to keep his students and subordinates happy, and Reiner thought about how to change his inner image in Arymia as he walked through the corridor of the tower to the classroom.

It was a small classroom, and in the classroom, twelve freshmen were sitting upright in chairs, most of them unaware of each other, looking at Reiner with some trepidation.

Glancing around the classroom, Reiner spoke.

"Hello students, I'm the principal of Crescent Academy, Reiner. Ian Gray. ”
