Greetings, Mister Principal

Fina sat beside her father's hospital bed and gently held the scrawny hand. She watched her father quietly. The man who looked tall in the past looked so short, fragile, and helpless at this moment.

Her feelings about her father were complicated. On the one hand, Fina resented her father for letting her grow up in Sur and be bullied by other villagers. On the other hand, for so many years, her father's upbringing of herself was genuine.

If I grew up in a normal city, I might have a better relationship with my father, Fina thought.

Reiner looked at them from the side. He was silent because he really didn't know how to deal with this atmosphere.

But the silence was soon broken by a loud noise, and there was a loud noise from outside the window, making Reiner look outside.

He saw dozens of people, men, women, and children, with farm tools and wooden sticks and kitchen knives in their hands, aggressively approaching the hospital.

"What happened?"

Fina came back to her senses at this time and stood up.

"Stay here, I'll go and take a look."

Reiner stopped Fina. He immediately walked out of the ward and went downstairs, just in time to see Doctor Philip hurriedly approaching with a panic expression.

"Mr. Ian Gray, it's not good, they should be looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

Reiner felt a little strange, but the door of the hospital had been pushed open, and the townspeople led by a middle-aged man flocked into the hospital.

These people saw Dr. Philip first, and then Reiner.

"It's him!!"

A voice yelled. Reiner found that among the crowd, the town mayor's son who had been educated by him earlier was pointing at him, still with a look of fear in his eyes.

Hearing the call from the town mayor's son, the townspeople were stunned, looking up and down Reiner, but did not dare to take any further steps.

Obviously, they also heard Reiner's power from the town mayor's son.

The middle-aged man who took the lead took a step forward and said with some confidence.

"We came for Napishtim, he can't stay in this hospital!"

Reiner glanced at Dr. Philip and then asked.

"He is sick, why can't he stay in the hospital?"

"He got a plague, a curse of magic, if he stays in this town, he will definitely spread it to everyone!"

The man roared, with a slight jitter in his voice.

"As the mayor of this town, I want to protect my people."

"Plague? The curse of magic?"

Reiner didn't understand what he was talking about. He had read the pathology report, which described Fina's father's symptoms in detail. There was no text in it that said his disease was infectious. Where did these people hear it?

"Mr. Napishtim's illness is not contagious, so don't panic."

Dr. Philip explained, but it was obvious that no one believed what he said.

"None of you mages are good people. That guy must have been punished by god to get this kind of disease. He must get out of this town!"

The mayor shouted, attracting other townspeople to respond.

"Or another way, burn him to death and burn his daughter to death. Only in this way can the curse be completely eradicated!"

"Yes, his disease is definitely contagious. I saw that Charlie's hands also have erythema like that guy. Charlie had been near his home!"

A young man shouted, which exacerbated the feelings of the townspeople.

"Burn him to death! Burn him to death! Burn him to death!"

For a while, everyone was extremely frantic, quite like a medieval witch trial.

Reiner was a little surprised. He didn't expect that such a stupid guy still existed in this era. Faced with the increasingly frantic scene, he raised his hand, and a blue flame was shot out in an instant. At the same time, a huge explosion appeared, causing the people in the hospital to suddenly calm down.

"Everyone, look at Dr. Philip. He has treated Mr. Napishtim for so long. If it was infectious, he would be the first one that was infected. Moreover, wouldn't the nurses in this hospital also be infected?"

Reiner's words made everyone look at Dr. Philip. There was no doubt that Dr. Philip had no symptoms, and the nurses in the hospital were not unwell.

Reiner himself had the Hohenheim Golden Cup. While absorbing the surrounding magic, he could also perceive slight magical changes. When he stepped into Fina's house, there was no similar magical interference, so it could be confirmed that in Fina home, there was no magic item that could cause harm to people.

What these people said was complete nonsense.

"That's because they are mages, and this disease can't affect mages!"

Someone in the crowd yelled, making Reiner laugh.

"That gentleman, isn't Mr. Napishtim a mage?"

"This......"

Suppressed by IQ differences, the townspeople couldn't say anything to refute for a while and collectively remained silent.

"Everyone, I can understand your fear of the unknown, but Mr. Napishtim's illness will not infect others, please rest assured."

Reiner said. He didn't feel that his words could change these stupid townspeople, and now it was better for him to use words to drive them away.

"Since that guy came back, there hasn't been a good thing in town, it's a curse!"

The mayor cursed, obviously, this time he also came for his son.

"You mages are all liars, all bastards!"

In order to maintain the authority of the mayor, he strongly rejected the mage.

That's enough..."

Just when Reiner couldn't tolerate it anymore, but a call from behind made him look back.

"Doctor Philip, my father..."

It was Fina, her face was pale, and her body was shaking constantly.

"I'll take a look."

Doctor Philip seemed to have noticed something, he immediately followed Fina upstairs, and Reiner glanced at the townspeople who were shocked by the scene before him and followed him with a sigh.

In the ward, Mr. Napishtim, who had been in a deep sleep, was struggling fiercely as if he was in extreme pain.

Fina held her father's hand and tried to comfort him with this, but it didn't help.

"His heartbeat is accelerating. It's not good. Many organs in his body are failing..."

Doctor Philip used magic to check Fina's father's physical condition, his face gradually darkened. He immediately took out a few injections, trying to make the final attempt to save Fina's father.

But Fina's father suddenly stopped struggling. He opened his eyes, his gaze swept across the room, and finally stayed on Fina.

At the same time, during Dr. Philip's test, all the vital signs of this patient had faded at the same time. In popular terms, he was losing his life gradually, and he could no longer be treated by any means. Within a few seconds, he would die completely.

After a moment of daze, Doctor Philip took out his pocket watch and prepared to record the time of death.

"Wait, he is talking."

Reiner noticed the subtle movements of Fina's father's lips, and he said aloud, making everyone look at the dying patient.

The whole ward was quiet, and even the noise outside seemed to be gone.

Fina leaned over, only to hear the father, whom she had always resented, speaking in a low voice with an insignificant hoarse voice.

"Fina..."

The voice was small, weak, yet so determined.

"I'm sorry...Fina."

He said it again, in a voice as if it contained all the memories of this world
