Meet the principal

Act 269. Hope

hope.

This may be the most distant word for these children.

They are seriously ill and don't even know if they can see the sun tomorrow. No matter what hope they have, they will eventually turn into despair, and the greater the hope, the greater the despair.

Reiner asked a few more children, and their answers varied.

Some people think magic is a weapon, and some think magic is a tool. These children have not been exposed to magic much, so they naturally have various imaginations. Some people asked Reiner if he could fly, and he could only shake his head helplessly.

"So, in your hearts, magic is something with a positive meaning."

Reiner concluded that the magic mentioned by these children just now has a positive effect, which is very consistent with the environment of these children. In their view, magic indeed facilitates life and creates miracles.

"But actually, I want to tell you that magic itself has no distinction between good and evil."

Reiner's words made the children look a little confused. Their concepts of good and evil are still in the story books. In the books, dragons and devils are evil, while princesses and princes are kind. When explained, these children could not understand what Reiner said.

"Mr. Ian Gray, isn't this a little too difficult to understand..."

Miss Windsor reminded in a low voice, but Reiner smiled slightly.

"Magic in the hands of good people is a tool that can make the world a better place, but in the hands of bad people, it can bring pain to people. Magic itself has no will. Its quality depends entirely on the hands of the user. inside."

Reiner explained, raising a finger to light a tiny flame so that the children could better understand.

"Such a flame can bring warmth to people, but if you continue to get close to the flame, it will burn people's skin. Magic is just such a thing. Whether it is good or evil depends on the user."

The children nodded in understanding, focusing more on the flames between Reiner's fingers.

"Actually, many things in this world are the same. It's not just one side. Maybe from another perspective, good will turn into a kind of evil, and evil will be some kind of good, and there will even be some things. Neither completely good nor completely evil.”

Reiner's words were a bit convoluted, which made these children confused.

For them, this world is more pure, and they still can't understand exactly what Reiner means.

But some older children have already begun to think. These children have strong learning abilities and can quickly grasp what Reiner wants to convey.

It can also be seen from here that the education conducted in this institute does not involve much conceptual aspects, and it is probably related to the situation of these children.

Next, Reiner did not talk about these profound topics, but performed magic. He felt a bit like a magician in a circus, and he was consistent in bringing joy to children.

After about half an hour, Reiner's "lesson" came to an end.

During the break, some children went to the bathroom, while others were chatting with friends on their seats. Miss Windsor was answering questions for several children, and Reiner sat aside.

Observe these children.

"Mr. Ian Gray, do you think magic can cure our illnesses?"

At this time, the unusually active boy, Brighton, came over and asked Reiner.

Reiner was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. After thinking for a moment, he gently touched his head and answered.

"It may not be possible now, but I think it will definitely be curable in the future."

"But Mr. Baptiste said that I might not be able to wait until that time."

There was no sadness in Brayton's words. He didn't know whether it was because he had calmly accepted his fate, or because he didn't have a deep understanding of life and death.

"But Baptiste told me that we are living well now to help other children who will get sick in the future."

Reiner nodded when he heard this.

Leaving aside Baptiste's theory for the time being, he is indeed very devoted to the treatment of Osborn Kara syndrome. However, according to the current development, it will take many years to just unravel the cause of this disease. As for a complete cure, it is possible It takes more time.

During this time, more children like Brighton will be born with the disease and die before they reach adulthood.

"Eiffel might also help us stay alive."

Brayton muttered to himself, attracting Reiner's attention. He vaguely noticed some problems and asked.

"Who is Eiffel?"

"Well, Eiffel was the oldest here before, but he fell ill two weeks ago, and Mr. Baptiste told us that Eiffel had passed away."

Brydon said.

"Tell you, didn't you attend his funeral or something?"

Reiner was a little surprised, but he did not see any graves in this institute. This was a bit unreasonable. After all, as an institution for patients with Osborn Kara syndrome, people should often die here.

But later, Reiner thought that these children were just sent here by their families. Maybe after they died, their families would come to pick up the bodies, and naturally there would be no graves.

"Funeral? What is that?"

Brayton showed a puzzled expression. He repeated Reiner's pronunciation, as if he didn't know the word.

"Well, what happens if one of you gets sick?"

Reiner frowned slightly, considered his words, and asked.

"He would be admitted to the ward and after a while Mr. Baptiste would tell us that he had left us."

He replied matter-of-factly, and Brydon's words made Reiner feel confused.

When he wanted to ask again, the door of the conference room was pushed open and Baptiste walked in.

He was slightly surprised to see Reiner, but then he was surrounded by children.

"Monsieur Baptiste!"

These children seemed to like Baptiste very much, and they crowded around him, making it impossible for him to move even a step.

"Okay, okay, don't make things difficult for the teacher."

Miss Windsor raised her hand and asked the children to return to their seats.

It seems that Baptiste is quite popular with the children.

"Mr. Ian Gray, why are you here?"

Baptiste came to Reiner.

"Uh, teacher, I invited Mr. Iain Gray to give a lesson to the children and introduce magic."

Miss Windsor hurriedly explained, which made Baptiste nodded slightly.

"Well, it's good. These children are usually very interested in magic, but due to my lack of time, they can't learn the relevant knowledge."

He didn't say anything about Reiner's behavior.

"Mr. Baptiste."

Reiner also stood up and gave a slight salute to the other party.

"I have something I want to discuss with you alone."
