Greetings, Mister Principal - Chapter 110

It was not so troublesome to publish a book in this world. It didn’t need a book number or an edition number. Reiner only needed to find a printing factory then he would be able to get many copies of his book. Many mages used this method to sell their thesis separately after putting their book on the record of the Magic Association.

It was just that the problem of sales channels had to be solved by themselves. After all, these self-prints were not like those academic journals with a fixed readership. It would take a lot of effort to convince bookstores to purchase them. So only those who were obsessed with publishing their books would do this kind of thankless work.

Reiner naturally took these issues into consideration, but fortunately, he was not alone. His previous experience gave him many contacts. He put three reference books aside, picked up a quill pen, and began to write a letter.

The recipient was Frederick Demetrius, the president of Mercury Balance. He had left Reiner with his personal contact information, which Reiner’s letter would be delivered directly to his home.

As far as Reiner knew, there were also several magic schools under Mercury Balance, focusing on alchemy education. Usually, the students enrolled there were the children or relatives of Mercury Balance members, which could be regarded as private schools.

The teaching level of these schools was naturally not bad, but even so, the level of student’s performance was uneven, these magic academies were naturally no match for those comprehensive academies.

Reiner wrote a letter this time to promote his reference books in the Magic Academies under the Mercury Balance. He didn’t know how to contact the principals of those schools, so he simply wrote directly to the top person in charge.

In fact, what Frederick said at the annual meeting was not just a courtesy talk. After Reiner took the mock exam, the steady middle-aged man immediately sent a letter of congratulation, congratulating Reiner on successfully engraving the first-ring magic into his heart lake. From this, it could be seen that the high-level mage was so well-informed that it was beyond what Reiner could imagine.

“…The focus is to improve the students’ test-taking level, consolidate their foundation, increase the number of students becoming a formal mage, and provide more high-quality reserve forces for the mercury balance…”

Reiner wrote. He first put forward some views on the current educational problems encountered by the schools of magic, and then talked about several supplementary materials that he had compiled, and finally put out the results of his application in Luna Nova Magical Academy. The whole letter was reasonable and convincing, even Reiner himself was amazed by it. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

After waiting for the ink to dry, he sealed it in an envelope, melted the wax, and sealed it. He then came to the attic of the tower. Together with the selected sample book, he handed it to an owl for mailing.

When he returned to the office, Reiner found that there was an additional guest in the room.

The tiger-stripe patterned cat that hadn’t been seen for a long time was sitting on Reiner’s desk licking its paws and washing its face. The sunlight shone on it through the window, showing a very relaxing scene.

Not knowing where it went during this time, Reiner almost forgot that there was such a magical cat in school.

It quickly noticed Reiner and immediately meowed.

“I have nothing to eat here.”

Reiner shrugged. It was not mealtime now. He also didn’t have the habit of eating before work. In the huge office, there was only a glass of water to drink.

The cat seemed to understand Reiner’s words, shook its head and jumped off the table, and walked out through the front door like it was the owner of this place.

Reiner smiled and returned to his seat, only to find that the “A Complete Explanation of Ian Gray’s Teaching Material” that he had put aside earlier had been opened at some point, and it had also turned to the chapters about the construction of spell models.

Looking around, Reiner found that the window of the principal’s room hadn’t opened. It shouldn’t be caused by wind. Thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one possibility.

“No way…”

Reiner was surprised.

……

When Frederick Demetrius received Reiner’s letter it was already two days later. He was at home after he had just finished presiding over a regular meeting of mercury balance. His wife went out to buy food, and his daughter had not yet finished school. Frederick took out his heather pipe and put in a few shreds of tobacco leaves, wanting to enjoy some cozy time in the afternoon. When his daughter was at home, his wife never allowed him to smoke.

The stimulating smell was inhaled from his mouth, spread to his lungs, and then gently blown out. Frederick lay on the rocking chair with his eyes slightly closed, feeling very comfortable.

“If there is also a glass of Yorkshire beer filled with foam…”

Frederick murmured to himself, that was the city where he studied when he was a child. The beer in the bar always had a special smell. It was with this beer and pipe that Frederick was finally able to get through many days and nights, and became a high-level mage.

Only after having a daughter, Frederick quit smoking and drinking at the request of his wife. At least at home, he never smoked or drank in front of his daughter.

If his colleagues at Mercury Balance knew that he was a henpecked husband, Frederick might not be made fun of by them in the future.

Thinking about an academic question, Frederick heard a noise from the window and opened his eyes, only to realize that it was a variegated owl with a package on its paws and was pecking the glass with its beak.

Standing up, grabbing a handful of crushed nuts on the table, Frederick opened the window, feeding the owl while removing the package from its paws.

Not many people knew the address of Frederick’s house. He opened the properly sealed package and found out that it was a letter from Reiner Ian Gray.

“Hehe, I don’t know what interesting idea this little fellow has this time.”

The previous Luna Nova Cola was promoted by the Mercury Balance, and now it had become popular among the mages of the Rainbow Tower, and gradually popularized among the nobles. The Mercury Balance naturally made a small fortune based on this.

After he opened the letter, Frederick quickly finished reading. He didn’t rush to a conclusion, but first opened the sample books that Reiner had sent at the same time.

Although he had been away from basic education for many years, Frederick also had students himself. He quickly saw through Reiner’s intention to produce these supplementary materials. He was a little surprised, and admired Reiner’s business vision.

Mages were eager to learn new knowledge, but they didn’t normally like to make money, so many times they didn’t pay too much attention to how to realize the results. In addition, attack magic occupied the overwhelming majority of traditional spells, so there was always a sense that magic was alienated from the general public.

However, most of the creations of Reiner Ian Gray were closely related to magic and were quite practical. Maybe it would bring changes to the mages in the future.

“What an interesting little fellow.”

Frederick chuckled, there were already several candidates in his heart
