Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 6: Maiden Development Plan

Alchemy, the art of transforming decay into wonder, using matters as material and magic as a catalyst. It was a basic technique that mages need to master, but few people have delved into alchemy from the beginning.

After thinking about it, Reiner felt that probably it was because the cost was too high.

Materials needed money, recipes needed money, and experimental tools also needed money. Especially in the early stages of alchemy where failure was commonplace. Unless those mages had some kind of build-in AI chips, otherwise, it would almost be impossible to have any successful product. In other words, it was simply costly.

Although a bottle of potion prepared by a high-level national alchemist may be worth the income of a month of hard work by an ordinary mage, since alchemy was really a technology that would take people a very long time to have any achievement, no one wanted to delve into it.

In academia, there was also a narrative about "Alchemy would make one poor for three generations, and machinery would ruin one for a lifetime". Alchemy and another costly subject, Mechanology, were both extremely expensive subjects.

Although Sharon had a good talent for alchemy, she herself had never considered taking this path. There was no other reason than that her family was poor. Her original plan was to follow the path of the elemental mage like her father. In that way, she would make the first pot of gold quicker and publish research results faster.

"Uh, Mister Principal, did I hear it wrong?"

So after Sharon heard what Reiner said, her first reaction was that she had heard it wrong.

The study of alchemy was supported by endless gold coins, she didn't have that much money.

She couldn't understand why, as an ordinary student, how could she accept such help?

"You heard it right, Miss Sharon, I know that many students have better grades than you, but academically, if you want to have any achievement, you can't follow the books blindly. I don't need someone who always follows the textbook, what I need is an assistant who knows how to think."

Reiner explained. In this relatively close-minded era where authority was still greater than science, to discover experimental phenomena that violate current theories not only needed wisdom, but also courage.

There was no shortage of smart people in this world, and Reiner even believed that Sharon was not the first to discover this. However, after confirming her own experiment, she could still persist in the face of the suppression of authority. Not many people had this kind of courage.

Perhaps if Reiner hadn't come to this world, the girl would've been unfairly punished, and eventually, she would've been forced to abandon her discovery in order to complete her studies and write an unintentional answer on the test paper.

Thinking about it this way, Reiner suddenly felt that his transmigration became a little more meaningful.

"But can a student like me really do it?"

Sharon thought of her father. At home, her father had the greatest authority. Since he had not had any achievement in the field of magic, he placed his hopes on Sharon and treated her harshly since she was a child, destroying everything Sharon was interested in that had nothing to do with magic. This also resulted in Sharon's relatively introverted character.

"I don't know."

However, Reiner's answer was beyond Sharon's expectation. She thought the principal would say something encouraging.

"Huh?"

According to the conventional story plot, Sharon thought of the sections in the extracurricular novels she had read.

"I don't know whether you can do it or not. At least, not at the moment. No matter how talented people are, they will be reduced to mediocrity one day. Similarly, ordinary people may also create miracles. I cannot predict your future, but I only know one thing."You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( ot a ku tl .bl o/g s po t/ . c/o mReiner borrowed the educational theory he believed in on the earth and explained it to Sharon, making her fall into deep thinking.

"That is, if you don't do it, it will definitely be impossible."

This sentence made Sharon slightly widened her eyes, she seemed to understand something, yet she also didn't seem to understand many things; but in any case, the seeds of independent thinking had been planted in this girl's heart.

Claire watched the conversation between the two and did not speak. She thought Reiner would be the kind of guy who blindly encourages students without considering the actual situation, but from the performance just now, this guy seemed to be... very good at teaching?

But before Claire could figure out Reiner's thoughts, the principal turned his gaze and looked at Claire with a special look, which made the young dean unable to help but shiver
