Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 95: Reiner's Fireball

President Daniel's face darkened immediately.

The price of the slab was not cheap. The Torrendo Magic Association only had two pieces. If it broke, they would have to go to the Rainbow Tower and spend money to apply for a replacement. Thinking about this year's budget, President Daniel's forehead was oozing a few drops of sweat.

"I, I am sorry!"

Dana hurriedly bowed her head to apologize.

"What happened?"

The mage who was in charge of passing the message outside came in and asked, then his eyes widened in shock.

"It's just a little accident, there is no need to make a big fuss about it."

Despite what President Daniel said, he hurriedly got up and walked to the obsidian slab, reaching out to check the crack.

This crack was located above the stone slab and extended from the edge to the center for less than half of a meter. It had a clear depression when touched by the hand, but fortunately, it was not deep.

President Daniel cast a simple one-ring spell to test the function of the obsidian slab, there wasn't much difference in the result, so they could still make do with it.

"Fortunately, we can still use it."

The old man glanced at the shivering Dana, then cleared his throat and said.

"Uh, it's okay, it's normal for an apprentice to fail to cast a spell."

This was considered an accident. It was naturally impossible for President Daniel to ask Dana for compensation. Since it could still be used anyway, it shouldn't be a problem to survive this mock exam.

He could only hope that later apprentices would use less offensive magic.

Shaking his head, President Daniel asked Dana to leave the room, return to his position, and record the word failed on the transcript cleanly.

There were no other accidents during the next few dozen minutes of testing, until a young man walked into the room.

"Good afternoon, I'm Reiner Ian Gray."

Reiner's footsteps were steady, so that all three reviewers focused their attention on him.

Rupert had already communicated with Reiner before, and at this time he suppressed the admiration in his heart, cleared his throat, and quickly turned his gaze back to the information sheet on the desktop.

Millie had heard about the deeds of the young Hohenheim Golden Cup winner. She looked him up and down. The first impression was that this young man was indeed quite handsome. She wondered if he was married, and should she introduce her niece to him.

President Daniel had seen many talented people before, so his expression was calm at the moment. He confirmed Reiner's exam ticket and then asked.

"What spell are you going to cast?"

"Fireball."

Reiner replied. He had read the examination center manual before. He knew that if the spell cast was an offensive spell, he needed to cast it on the obsidian slab in the room. So he turned around and faced the slab.

There were a few scratches on the stone slab, and on the top, a new crack was clearly visible.

It was said that this stone slab could absorb most of the power of magic. It made him wonder what was the principle behind this slab.

Reiner put away the idea of buying an obsidian slab and went home to study it, and raised his hand.

In an instant, the faces of the three reviewers present changed slightly.

Had he successfully inscribed the spell into his heart lake?

Although such a thing was not uncommon, it was the first time they saw it in this exam. After all, most apprentices would not start to try to inscribe spell into their heart lakes after the second mock exam or the third mock exam for the. There were only a few people like Reiner.

Without giving the three reviewers any more time to think, a flame was lit up from Reiner's fingertips.

It was just that it was not the dazzling bright red flame, but the weird blue.

"This is......?"

President Daniel suddenly felt a wave of strong anxiety.

The icy blue flame rapidly expanded in an instant, turning into a dazzling ball of fire. Everyone in the room could feel the scorching heat and the huge power that was being condensed in that ball of fire.

"Wait......"

Before President Daniel's shout could be heard, a loud noise of air being torn apart rang out in the room.

The glass of the magically reinforced window was shattered in an instant. Rupert tried to cast the wall spell, but the wind had swept through the three of them, blowing their robes messy.

For a while, the entire room became a mess, which was the result of the turbulence of the air caused by the high temperature and the leakage of excessive power.

The disheveled President Daniel raised his head, wanting to confirm Reiner's condition.

But the first thing that caught his eye was the obsidian slab that had broken into pieces.

"......"

For an instant, President Daniel seemed to feel a hundred bison crashing his heart. He quickly walked to the side of the obsidian slab and squatted down to check the situation.

"Uh, I'm sorry."

Reiner shrugged. He didn't expect his fireball to have such great power. Although he learned in previous tests that the destructive power of the hydrogen-based fireball was much stronger than that of the ordinary standard fireball, it was unexpected that the obsidian slab used for testing would collapse because it could not bear it.

He had also specially reduced the power when casting it, and only used about 70% of the original power.

"I didn't expect that this would happen..."

"......"

After President Daniel confirmed the condition of the obsidian slab, he really wanted to cry.

Reiner did successfully cast the fireball. Just now, the three reviewers clearly saw the scene of the fireball hitting the obsidian slab, but that was not a normal fireball at all. The obsidian slab that could withstand the direct attack of the spell below the third ring was broken in the blink of an eye!

President Daniel checked the obsidian slab. There was no scorch on the slab. From the cross-sectional view, the reason for its fracture was the internal energy overflow. Usually, only when the slab absorbed the energy beyond its limit, it would cause this situation.

In other words, the destructive power released by Reiner's "fireball" had surpassed the standard three-ring spell.

"The price of an obsidian slab is fifty gold coins, including transportation and assembly costs..."

President Daniel was completely immersed in calculating the loss, and he muttered to himself, as if everything else was no longer important.

According to the Mage Apprentice Protection Act, the apprentice did not need to be liable for damages caused by accidents during the magic test. Therefore, Daniel had no way to make Reiner compensate. More importantly, this was not Reiner's spell-casting error, it was simply that the obsidian slab couldn't withstand the power of Reiner's fireball.

"President?"

Rupert shook President Daniel's shoulder, which made the old man recover from the heavy loss.

Looking at Reiner who was with an innocent expression again, President Daniel shook his head and sighed. Luna Nova Magical Academy hadn't taken a mock exam for so many years, but when they finally started to take mock exams again, they caused such damage.

"Let them bring the spare obsidian slab, and the test will continue. As for you, Reiner Ian Gray..."

Looking at the obsidian slab that had been working diligently for several years, President Daniel had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still spoke.

"You passed, you can leave now."
