Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 74: Preparation for the Magic Test

Reiner couldn't move for a while, and he didn't relax until the cat raised its paw and licked it.

It was that little feral cat.

The cat licked its paws very carefully, from the little pink beans to the light yellow fur on the back of the paws, and from time to time it wiped its head with the back of its paw, as if washing its face.

Reiner just watched it finish washing, and then it looked at him.

"Meow!"

It meowed and looked around, seeming to be looking for Reiner's supper.

"I have nothing to eat today."

Reiner shrugged. The weather gradually became hot, so he stopped eating those greasy foods in the middle of the night. The only apple he had tonight had entered his stomach before he constructed the spell.

"Meow?"

The cat tilted its head and didn't seem to understand Reiner's words, but it lost interest when it didn't find food. Then it jumped to the window and soon disappeared.

Reiner was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of constructing magic just now, as if his soul had been enriched, which was a more pleasant feeling than enjoying food or listening to music.

Now Reiner was almost an official first-ring mage. After passing the corresponding written examination and magic test, he would receive the certificate and some rewards issued by the association and become a registered official mage.

Reiner had previously checked that there were two magic tests every year, the first one was on the 7th to 8th of the Month of Light Onion (June), and the second was on the 23rd to the 24th of the Month of Dragon Sleep (December).

There would be several mock exams before the formal exam so that students could determine their shortcomings, and then they could perform better in the formal exam.

There were four subjects in the two-day exam. The first day was the basic subjects. In the morning, it was the exam about the mage's rules and history of magic, in the afternoon, it was the magic spell, and the next morning was a comprehensive written test of various factions and studies. Apprentices could choose the subjects they were good at, and then in the afternoon was the spell casting test.

In the end, the combined results of the four subjects were the results of this test.

Those who passed the exam would get a certificate issued by the association and become an official mage, and the results of this test would also serve as a basis for them to prove their ability when looking for a mentor in the future.

Simply put, this was the college entrance examination or graduation exam in the world of mages.

After passing the assessment, most of the mages went to find their own mentors to do research work, while a small number of mages believed that their assessment results were not satisfactory and hoped to get higher scores. They would not just go to mentors with fewer resources. Instead, they would choose to review and take the exam in the next year.

This kind of takers usually had a shortcoming. If they got lower scores on written exams, they would be able to improve after years of study. But if they got lower scores on the practice test, then even if they could use the high score of the written test to make up for it, they would hardly have any achievement in the future.

Many prestigious mentors had a headache for such repeat students. On the one hand, the association's regulations required that they were treated equally, and they could not publicly state that they would not accept retakers. On the other hand, it was indeed difficult for these repeat students to keep up with the progress of the research. Most of these kinds of retakers would never be able to become a second-ring mage.

To Reiner, this was the sadness of exam-oriented education.

Exams only existed for quick selection, but they were not everything. Many people failed to realize this. To those people, magic was not wonderful, but only to serve as a tool to allow themselves to pass the exam. They did not enjoy the wonderful things that the magic brought to them. All they thought all day were exams.

Reiner believed that necessary exercises were indispensable, but he paid more attention to the students' own willingness to learn, because interest was the greatest teacher. Only when students knew that what they were learning was fun, they would be more willing to learn.

"However, it seems that a little business can be done here."

Reiner looked at the test paper he had organized, and a thought came to him.

......

Dana was very distressed.

Looking at the test paper on the desk in front of her, her face was filled with sadness.

This was the third paper that Reiner has assigned to her. Half of the questions had been done.

After that day's lecture, although Dana developed a certain interest in mathematics, her preliminary foundation was too poor, and it was difficult for her to improve quickly, so she still had to spend more than three hours to complete this test paper. In addition, the accuracy rate was really worrying.

But Dana did not give up, because at least Reiner gave her hope.

Dana had not been very good at magic since she was young, and had not inherited the excellent blood of her parents at all.

It wasn't until the age of six that she succeeded in casting the spell for the first time. Dana clearly remembered that it was a simple spell the wizard's hand. When she used this spell to fold a simple paper crane, she almost tore the whole piece of paper.

However, when Dana excitedly brought the tattered, but still visible paper crane in front of her father, the fourth-ring mage who was immersed in demiplane research didn't even say a word of praise.

"You blocked my notes."

Adol Christine said harshly to her daughter, and gently pushed the hard work of Dana to the corner of the table.

Dana burst into tears at that time, her efforts were not taken seriously by her father. This kind of blow was unbearable to her, who was only six years old at the time.

She ran to another room to find her mother, trying to get comfort from her mother, but her mother was the same as her father.

"What is there to be happy about? This kind of trick is not magic at all!"

After reprimanding Dana in this way, her mother was buried in the work.

Perhaps only Dana's uncle, Chester, could understand her. Chester's magic skills were far worse than his elder brother's. Until now, he was still only a second-ring mage. Perhaps it was a similar situation that made Dana feel that he was very kind.

When Dana's parents had an accident, Chester was the first to stand out to take care of Dana. He took out all his savings so Dana could learn magic in a magic academy.

Chester often told Dana that it was not that her parents didn't love her, but they were just not good at expressing their love. They were just a clumsy couple.

He also told Dana that on her seventh birthday, Adol and Elena would give Dana the most special birthday present, so she should look forward to it.

But Dana had no way to find out the truth now.

With the mysterious gift, Dana's parents lost their lives in the void and couldn't be found again.

Perhaps it was this environment that left Dana a big shadow in her mind. She was not confident in herself, nor confident in the magic she cast.

Of course, Dana also felt that she may not have any magic talent. Tomorrow was the day when Reiner and she agreed to re-cast the illumination magic. Although Dana had completely imprinted the spell model of illumination in her mind, and she could cast many times without injecting magic energy, he was still worried.

She was worried that the explosion would happen again, and by that time even Reiner would be disappointed.

Just like her parents.
