Not long after Reiner's daily test paper plan started, the first mock exam came quietly.
This exam is organized by the Promotion Committee of the Tower of Rainbow. It is a mock exam using a unified test paper. The difficulty is equivalent to the formal assessment. It is used to allow apprentices who are interested in being promoted to official mages to test their learning results.
For this reason, the examination rooms for the mock exams are also arranged by the promotion committee. Each registered school will be divided into several major examination rooms according to the region. The examination room of Crescent College is in Toronto, the capital of the province of Ammonai where it is located.
At least five magic schools will conduct mock exams in Toronto exam centers, including some prestigious schools.
Reiner investigated the volunteers and found that four students would take the mock exam this time. In addition to Dana, who was asked to do so, there was also the top student Fina Nabistin and the sixth-year student Leya Filnaga. With Eureka Cerseta.
In fact, as a sixth-year student, Student Council President Alymiya was supposed to take the mock exam, but she did not sign up, so Reiner naturally did not force it.
As for Reiner himself, of course he will also take this opportunity to take a mock exam to prepare for the next official promotion, so he is considered a hot hand.
Together with Claire, who was taking care of the students, the six of them embarked on a journey to Toronto.
During the short journey, Reiner also got to know the remaining three students taking the exam a little bit.
Fina Nabistin comes from a magic family, but her father has not achieved anything for many years and is still tinkering with some inexplicable magic. Fortunately, Fina herself has good talent and studies fairly hard, so she advanced to become a formal mage. Not a big problem.
She is more taciturn than Dana. When talking about her family, Fina always speaks in a flash and doesn't seem to want to mention it.
Leia Fiernaga is the daughter of a baron. There was a mage in her ancestors, so she has some connections. However, in her opinion, her hope of promotion is very slim, and she may only end up becoming a noble wife.
She is quite a talkative person, and even makes Reiner think she is a bit verbose, but she is still pretty cute.
Eureka Cerseta comes from a merchant family. Her hometown is in Toronto, where she runs a spice shop. She is quite wealthy. Her parents want Eureka to become a mage and enter the upper class, so they send her to a nearby town. Learn magic at Crescent Academy.
Eureka had been helping her parents run the store, so she was good at dealing with people. It was her and Leya who kept the atmosphere lively along the way.
Departing from Crescent College in the early morning, it was already late at night when we arrived in Toronto. The official exam will be in the morning the day after tomorrow, so tomorrow is a day for these students to rest and relax.
When they arrived at the Emerald Oak Hotel, everyone in the carriage was already quite tired. Dana had already fallen asleep leaning on the soft backrest, and was used by Claire as a large pillow. Rhea and Eureka stopped talking. My head is moving slowly, and it seems that I will fall asleep soon.
Fina remained awake, but she, who was still reading with a pocket book, was staring at the night scene outside the window in a daze, silent.
Reiner opened his eyes. He had been meditating before. He found that this could relieve fatigue to a certain extent. For this reason, Reiner was the first to get out of the car.
"Mr. Ian Gray, you are finally here."
A thin man with a beard walked out of the hotel lobby. He was the owner of the alchemy workshop that Reiner had a partnership with in Toronto, John Osborne. Surprisingly, he was not a lawyer himself. Just an ordinary businessman.
"Mr. Osborne, thank you for your hard work."
Reiner took the other person's extended hand and thanked him sincerely. After Mr. Osborne heard that Reiner was coming to Toronto, he immediately offered to help arrange the room. Now it seems that he is really enthusiastic.
"No, no, no, it's the best to be able to maintain cooperation with Mr. Iain Gray. You know, Coke's revenue has now reached 20% of my alchemy workshop's revenue. This is just the result of more than half a month. .”
Mr. Osborne is considered to be a smarter group. After hearing about Coke and the franchise, he immediately went to Crescent College to reach an agreement with Reiner and became Coke's general agent in Toronto. Now relying on this novelty Drinks, he has completely suppressed his former opponents.
"This is the hotel closest to the examination center and the best decorated. It is the most difficult to book a room during the examination season. However, I am familiar with the owner here, so I was able to get a room."
Mr. Osborne pointed to a building not far away, which should be the headquarters of the Magic Association in Toronto. The five-story building was particularly conspicuous among the low-rise buildings.
"Look, the location of the magic test is right there."
"That's great, Mr. Osborne. I really need to trouble you this time."
Reiner nodded slightly. Indeed, they had seen several students wearing apprentice robes walking through the corridor before. They must be students from a certain magic school.
Reiner said as he turned to look at the sleepy ladies.
"However, my students are very tired and hope to go back to their rooms to rest early."
"Haha, of course, please come in."
Mr. Osborne said nothing more and immediately led them into the hotel. A total of two double rooms and two single standard rooms were arranged. Four students lived in a double room, and Reiner and Claire each had a standard room.
Looking at the layout of the room, Reiner nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that it was always good to have more friends and companions when going out.
After sending the ladies back to their rooms, Reiner and Mr. Osborne had a few more drinks in Reiner's room and chatted about business matters. Many of Reiner's insights surprised Mr. Osborne. It made him feel that the young man in front of him had as much thought as an experienced businessman.
Just when Mr. Osborne stood up to leave, they heard a noise coming from downstairs.
"What, why is there no room?"
It was an exaggerated and loud voice, which made Reiner frown. It was already late at night, and he didn't want anyone to disturb Claire and the others from their rest.
"what's the situation?"
Reiner opened the door and saw Claire wearing simple pajamas, hugging a pillow and yawning profusely as she poked her head out of her room.
"What's wrong?"
She spoke vaguely, as if she would fall asleep any second.
"It's nothing. You go back to sleep and I'll take care of it."
Pushing Claire back into the room, Reiner glanced at Mr. Osborne, and the two quickly walked downstairs.
"... When I came to visit last week, there were still rooms, and there shouldn't be that many students in Brooklyn and Phoenix this year. Mr. Fox, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
The other party seemed to be still arguing, and Mr. Reiner and Osborne also came to the lobby and saw the source of the commotion.
"Tsk, it is indeed this guy."
Mr. Osborne spoke eloquently, as if he had met an acquaintance.
Reiner looked over and saw that they were two boys wearing apprentice robes. They looked like two brothers. Behind them was a well-dressed couple, who must be the parents of the two brothers.
The one who made the sound was the man with a big belly standing at the front.
Suddenly, he felt that the other person looked familiar. Reiner took a closer look and realized that this bloated man was the guy he had fought with when he took the aeroboat to Lake Wagner.
"This is really not about enemies not getting together."
