Chapter 8: Principal Pitt and Edward Wood
At the door of the principal's office, Erica instructed Renon: "Don't look around and make a fuss when you go in, it's rude." Try to be short and to the point when answering questions, so as not to embarrass me and my grandfather. She accented the syllable "I" and didn't seem to recognize Rainon and her as family.
"Well, he said to Sister Konstantin. Renon nodded in agreement.
After receiving Rinong's assurance, Erica stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, then took two steps back and waited respectfully.
"Come in!" came a hoarse voice.
Erica opened the door and walked in softly, and Renon followed her cautiously.
Before entering the room, Ronon thought that the principal's office was supposed to be similar to the study in Constantine's house, but the opposite was true. It is a luxuriously decorated living room with a faint smell of tobacco in the air, a square coffee table with a plate of fruit and three fragrant black teas in the middle, two large comfortable sofas form a corner, half around the coffee table, behind the sofa is a floor-to-ceiling window, and the beige translucent curtains hang silently to the floor. Looking back to the right, there is an old man standing in front of the painting on the opposite side of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a delicate mahogany pipe in his hand, the fire in which the fire has been extinguished.
After a long time, the old man came back to his senses and turned to apologize to Erica and Renong: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm fascinated." This is a new college landscape painting, but it cost me a lot of money. ”
"It's okay, uh...... We're also looking at the paintings, and this oil painting is amazing. Erica replied politely, while Rainon looked depressed and thought, "I can't see anything from such a distance!"
"Hehe, is it?, come, come, please take a seat, you're welcome. The old man hurriedly greeted.
After taking his seat, Renon looked at the old man, unlike Arroyo Constantine's tall and simple, the principal of Horps College was not tall, with a slightly fat belly, a pair of energetic eyes on his kind face, a long goatee on his chin, and a white hair neatly combed back of his head. He was dressed in a purple gold-trimmed robe embroidered with ornate patterns in gold thread, but there was no indication of occupation.
The old man looked at Rainon with a smile and said, "You are Rainon Stamoko, aren't you?" I have heard from Constantine, and he praises you as a very gifted child. My name is Mike Pitt and I am the principal of the Phelps Military Academy. ”
"Rinon, take out the letter. Erica whispered to Ronon. Ruinon didn't dare to slack off, and quickly took the letter out of his pocket. Erica took the letter and respectfully handed it to Mike Pitt and said, "Mr. Principal, this is a letter of recommendation from my grandfather. ”
"Okay, let me take a look. You're welcome, eat some fruit and drink some tea. Pete happily took it with both hands, tore open the envelope with his thick fingers, took out the letter, and read it.
After a few minutes, Pete looked up, shoved his mahogany pipe into his mouth (even though there was no fire in it) and said, "Well, that's good." Rainon, you don't have any previous magical education, do you?"
"Yes, Mr. Headmaster. ”
"Hehe! Yes, yes, worthy of Konstantin's favorite child. Hehehe!" Principal Pete smiled as he put the letter away and pulled out a communication brazier and a bag containing an unknown powder from the space pouch. He took a little powder out of the bag and sprinkled it into the basin.
There was a "whew" sound, and a stream of red flames burst from the communication brazier. Pete shouted into the flames, "Hey, Edward, is Edward Wood there?"
The flames gradually changed into a human face, and he turned to Principal Pete and said, "Hello Principal Pete. ”
"Edward, you take a few students with you now. ”
"No more, no less than twenty-five naughty ghosts, Mr. Headmaster. ”
"Don't you mind bringing an extra one? He's a very gifted kid. ”
"I'd love to do that, Mr. Headmaster, but you'll have to give me a raise. ”
"Hey, Edward, we're old friends, so we're just going to have one more student. Besides, the children are watching. ”
"Oh, that's right, my good Mike, where is the twenty-sixth student, can you show me?"
Pete beckoned to Renon and said, "Come here, little one, say hello to your teacher." ”
Rinon came to the brazier and bowed and said, "Hello, teacher, my name is Rainon Stamoko when we first met. ”
The man in the brazier looked at Rainon and said, "Oh! Mike, you don't need to increase your salary, but you're invited to dinner today. ”
"Hey, old man, don't do this for the sake of the student's face, okay?"
"Oh no, no, no, Mike, do you still lack a little money? I know you have a lot of money now, and your monthly income is worth a year's salary of mine. ”
"Old man, you also know the truth, I've been short of money lately, so I asked a famous painter to paint a picture, and ......"
Erica couldn't help but feel like she couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two older men fight over the money for a meal. She coughed and interrupted the "argument" between the two and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Principal, Ruinon's academic arrangements and admission procedures haven't been completed yet!"
Pete patted his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, don't worry, Miss Constantine, for the sake of Arroyo is my friend for many years, I have covered all the admission procedures, how about a 20% discount on tuition?" Pete turned to the brazier and said to Wood, "Edward, Renon's course schedule has been handed over to you, he is Konstantin's favorite child, you have to teach him seriously." ”
"No problem. The flame-forming face shook and said to Rainon, "Mr. Starmoko, you come to my office first. Located in Room 205 on the second floor of the office area, I will help you arrange your academic courses. Then I'll see you later. With a "poof" the flames disappeared.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up, right? College life starts now. Pete said with a smile as he looked at Rainon.
"Mr. Principal, I'll go over and see you again. ”
"See you again. Pete waved at Rainon.
"Mr. Pete, Renon is not familiar with the environment here and needs me to show him the way, so I will take my leave. Erica also got up to say goodbye.
"See you again, Miss Constantine. Pete looked at the two lively and lovely figures and went out, he picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip and said, "It's a pity that I didn't drink such a good tea, even if it was cold." ”
Renon followed Erica down the long hallway to the office and up the stairs to the door of Room 205. Erica said to Rainon, "This is Professor Wood's office. I'll make an appointment with the instructor in the afternoon, so you can go in by yourself!"
"Oh! Rainon looked at Erica's distant back and waved his hand, and then he couldn't help but feel a faint feeling of discomfort in his heart, but he didn't pay much attention to it as a young man, and shook his head to shake the feeling to the back of his mind. Renon adjusted his emotions and raised his hand to knock on the door, when he heard a magnetic voice say, "Rainon Stamoko, I know you're here, come in." ”
