Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 97: Birthday Preparations

"Mr. Principal, I heard you are looking for me?"

Dana knocked on the door. She was wearing a sailor suit of the Luna Nova Magical Academy, and she was full of youthful beauty, but her face was filled with a little melancholy.

"Sit down."

Reiner pointed to the sofa to the side. He put down the files in his hand and looked at Dana.

"How was your mock exam?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I failed to cast the spell again."

Since the last magic test, Reiner had not asked Dana about the details of the exam. On the one hand, it was because Reiner himself caused a certain commotion, and on the other hand, it was to take care of her emotions.

Only after some time, Reiner found Dana.

"I heard that the failure to cast the spell caused an explosion, and even the obsidian slab responsible for the test had cracks."

The expression on Dana's face darkened even more, as if she was thinking that Reiner was also disappointed in her.

"I'm sorry, I was too proud of having mastered some tricks recently, so I rashly tried to construct the first-ring spell..."

"Miss Dana, do you know what the passing rate of the Ann Monet Provincial Magic Exam is every year?"

Reiner asked suddenly, making Dana somewhat confused.

"What?"

"Every year, the number of apprentices in the province of Ann Monet who take the magic exam is about two hundred. Among them, the number of apprentices who can get a pass in three theoretical courses, that is, the number of people who have a total of 180 points is more than 170, which means, nearly 90% of people can pass the theory test."

Reiner said indifferently, these were all the data that should be mastered as a principal.

"But in fact, the annual pass rate of the magic exam in the province of Ann Monet is less than 15%."

That was, at most 30 apprentices could pass the exam and become a formal mage. This was just an ideal situation. It also included those apprentices who had re-examined many times. So the apprentices who could pass the first exam should be less than fifteen.

After listening to Reiner's explanation, Dana still didn't understand his intention.

"Dana, you have to know that your official exam is next year, and there is still one year to consolidate the foundation and prepare for the exam."

Reiner said directly. The data he listed earlier was more convincing than mere comforting words.

It was true that Dana did not perform well, but the fact was that not many people performed better.

"You have done the best you can do. I have received the transcript of the mock test. You can check it out."

Reiner handed out a list. As soon as Dana heard the transcript, her heart started beating wildly. She reached out to take the list, but failed the first time because she instinctively retracted her hand. Then she reached out her hand again and held the transcript.

"Mage Code and History of Magic, 87 points, Magic Runes, 72 points, Magic Comprehensive Knowledge, 69 points... Magic Casting Test, failed, final evaluation, failed... ."

The failure was expected, but Dana was surprised by the scores in the other three subjects.

The three subjects added up to a total of 228 points. If she got a passing score of 60 points in the magic casting test, she would get 288 points, which was already a pretty good score!

"For your reference, in the Magic Academy affiliated to the Rainbow Tower Council, which is currently the magic school with the strongest comprehensive magic strength, the average score of the magic exam for the apprentices who have been successfully promoted in the past three years is 322 points, and the average score for the province of Ann Monet is 245 points."

In other words, if Dana succeeded in casting the spell, her score would far exceed the average score of the province she was in, and she still had a year to continue to improve.

"By the way, in this exam, you ranked third in Luna Nova Magical Academy."

Reiner said again, the second was Fina Napishtim, who dominated other students with a high score of 357.

The first was of course Reiner himself. As for the scores, he felt that there was no need to tell his student about it, because there was no need to compare his score with his student's.

"I, I thought..."

Dana originally thought that her failure to cast the spell had made such a big movement, and Reiner would definitely reprimand her, but she didn't expect that instead of doing that, he enumerated various facts to comfort herself.

She suddenly thought of her parents in a daze. If they had also adopted Reiner's education method, she would probably be very different now.

"I said it before, I will treat you to a big cake on your birthday."

Reiner said suddenly.

"Uh, yes."

Dana remembered the agreement between Reiner and herself. It had only been just two weeks, but to Dana, it seemed as if many years had passed.

"Your birthday should be the second day of the Month of White Dew, which is the day after tomorrow, right?"

Reiner asked. Today was the last day of the Month of Flowing Fire. Starting from tomorrow, time would officially enter the Month of White Dew. This was also the hottest month. Many schools would have summer vacation in the two months before the magic exam. Students would need to review their studies by themselves during the vacation. In the past, Luna Nova Magical Academy would have a holiday around the 5th of the Month of White Dew and last until the end of the summer magic exam. However, due to assessment reasons, the summer vacation would be postponed for a few days this year.

"Mhm."

Dana nodded. At first, she thought Reiner was just joking, but she didn't expect that he actually checked her birthday.

In the past, Dana had never celebrated her birthday. When her parents were still there, both of them were busy studying. It was already not bad that they would have a meal at home with Dana on Dana's birthday.

Since her parents had an accident, Dana's birthday had also become the anniversary of her parents' death. She had never asked her uncle Chester to celebrate her birthday.

But Reiner now offered to celebrate her birthday, which really made Dana feel complicated.

Joy, gratitude, and sadness, she didn't know if she had the right to celebrate this day, because, in the eyes of her long-dead parents, she was useless. Birthday should be the last yoke left by her parents, so that Dana will remember this day forever.

"Go back and prepare yourself. On that day, I will prepare a surprise for you."

Reiner stroked Dana's head, giving her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if someone had done the same thing before.

But maybe it had been a very long time, her memory became a little blurry.

"A surprise?"

Dana asked softly, looking at Reiner's eyes a little bit puzzled, but still obediently left the principal's office.

After the student had left, Reiner sat back at his desk, picked up the pen, and began to write a reply.

The head was Respected Mr. Chester Christine
