Chapter 123

Leon spoke to himself, as if discussing something with Losweiser, "Does he... not want me to go back?"

Losweiser was deep in thought.

Tiger did indeed say that Leon should not be allowed to return to the Empire within a year.

Losweiser asked for the reason, but the other party refused to say anything more.

This request wasn't really a request for Losweiser; she hadn't planned to let Leon go back anyway.

In the letter to Leon, is it necessary to subtly hint again that he shouldn't go back...?

Losweiser seemed to have a vague idea that the unfathomable ancient Dragon Slayer was preparing to do something big.

However, she couldn't just tell Leon her thoughts, since it was just her guess.

Therefore, Losweiser offered another interpretation of the phrase "Do not worry".

"Your mentor probably... thinks you're not good enough."

Leon was taken aback, his brow furrowing slightly. "You think I'm bad? How am I bad?"

He straightened up, slapped his hand on the table, and began to recount his past glories to Losweiser.

"Before I came here, I had been the undisputed number one on the Empire's list of dragon slayers for years, with a precipitous lead over the second place. Even if I gave him a two-year handicap, he still couldn't surpass me."

"Moreover, I am also the holder of all the physical test records of the Dragon Slaying Academy."

"Whether during my reserve or active service, I was always the champion in all the sparring and trials held by the Empire. I won medals and merits so many times I was practically overwhelmed, okay?"

Losweiser clasped her hands together, resting her chin gently on the back of her hands, patiently listening to Leon's classic champion's recitation of the menu, before slowly saying,

"And then what? Which champion could be captured by the enemy for more than two years and still not be able to return?"

"..."

"You're more like a champion at capturing prisoners and a champion at handing in homework."

After the situation returned to balance, Losweiser switched back to her sarcastic mode, saying, "Don't even mention being your master, I think you're terrible."

Leon blushed. "What makes you think I'm bad? Haven't I given you enough lessons in the past two weeks?"

Losweiser shrugged and said nonchalantly, "What does that mean? Don't forget, I defeated you in our last sparring match."

Snap—

Leon slammed his hand on the table. "Get dressed, let's go outside and have another match."

Oh dear, I'm getting anxious!

Losweiser admired Leon's expression with satisfaction, then leaned back leisurely against the chair, arms crossed, looking completely at ease.

"No. Anyway, as things stand now, my win rate against you is 100%, and you've never beaten me, so that's enough."

"Losweiser!"

"Calm down, Dragon Slayer. Now it's your master who's saying you're bad."

Losweiser paused, then added, "However, I will absolutely not let you go back, my prisoner."

My master's way of doing things has always been different from that of normal people.

So his "Don't worry" in the letter might really be a sign that he was annoyed that his apprentice, whom he had raised since childhood, had become incompetent.

When others say Leon is bad at cooking, Leon just laughs it off dismissively.

If you think I'm bad, then come up here and let's have a match.

But if his master says he's bad at it, then he has to take this issue seriously.

A considerable amount of time has passed since he regained consciousness.

Although he had been tormented by Losweiser during this period and his physical recovery was not as fast as before, recently, due to various reasons, Leon's physical qualities have been steadily improving in all aspects.

It's only a matter of time before they return to their peak.

Losweiser shouldn't have given him that two-week break, which left him with some energy to spare. Also, even during the few days when Leon had the upper hand, he didn't get carried away and still paid attention to his physical exertion, maintaining a very regular routine.

So even though the situation has been balanced now, if Losweiser wants to manipulate Leon as easily as before, it won't be so easy anymore; she'll have to put in some effort.

But the reason why top Dragon Slayer like Leon can achieve numerous victories and kill countless enemies on the battlefield is not just because of their brute strength.

And most importantly, there is "magical power".

Leon's magic attribute is "lightning," a highly offensive element that is exceptionally effective at clearing large areas of mobs or dealing single-target damage to the Dragon King.

After waking up, Leon tried to mobilize his Magic Power, but it was no longer as powerful as it had been before he fell into a coma.

When he was refining Dragon's Might, it was the first time he had used Magic Power to do something after he woke up. At that time, he vaguely felt that his magical power was almost exhausted.

Then, during his later sparring session with Losweiser, the Dragon Queen attacked Leon with dragonfire and various spells, while Leon was forced to dodge and had no Magic Power to retaliate.

In desperation, he could only use the little Lightning Element he had left to strengthen himself, which barely allowed him to turn the tide.

But in the end, he was defeated by Losweiser.

There's no way to defeat Dragon King level opponent without the aid of magic, no matter how strong one's physical abilities are.

After dinner, Leon sat in his nursery, pondering questions about magical powers.

He looked at his palm and tried to channel his Magic Power.

A few streaks of lightning flashed lazily twice.

Like a typical office worker who works from 8 am to 9 pm, when called by the boss, they cheerfully reply "I'm coming, I'm coming!" but actually have no intention of getting up and leaving their workstation.

Leon stared at the few remaining streaks of lightning with some difficulty.

"To be fair, if you don't want to dodge, you don't have to."

Too weak.

The intensity of the magic was less than one-tenth of what it was before he fell into a coma.

What caused this result?

Leon.

Did Losweiser do something to his body while he was in a coma?

Leon thought for a moment and quickly dismissed the guess.

If Losweiser really wanted to do something to him while he was unconscious, it certainly wouldn't be as simple as just suppressing his magical powers.

She could have done so much more, such as ensuring his physical condition never returned to normal, so that even if he woke up, he would only be sickly. Why would she need to engage in this battle of wits with him?

Furthermore, when Leon mobilized his Magic Power, he only felt a simple "depletion," without any power to suppress or seal his Magic Power.

Since it has nothing to do with Losweiser... I should probably look for the cause within myself. Hiss

Leon scratched his head and glanced at the books on the table. 5.

These were all books on basic magic and medicinal herbs that he had used when teaching Noa and refining Dragon's Might. He had read them over and over again, and was quite certain that there was nothing in them that could solve his problem of Magic Power depletion.

Instead of making wild guesses here, we should find some useful books to study.

He remembered that when he was strolling around the Holy Temple with Mu En, they had stumbled upon a library.

There were hardly any people going in or out of the library, so it must be Losweiser's private library.

The books inside should contain the answers Leon needs.

After a moment's hesitation, Leon got up and went to the room next door, Losweiser's.

She was in the study finishing up some work from the day.

Hearing footsteps, the Queen looked up and, seeing it was Leon, lowered her head again. "Is there something you need?"

Leon leaned against the doorway, thought for a moment, and said, "Isn't Mu En going to start her magic enlightenment recently? I don't have much experience in this area, so I'd like to borrow some books from you to study when I get back."

Losweiser lowered her head and gestured with her beautiful chin toward the bookshelf beside her. "Go get whatever you want to read."

Leon's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything. He simply nodded and walked to the bookshelf.

Leon glanced at the bookshelf, picked out a few books, quickly flipped through them, and then turned to Losweiser, "Not enough, are there any others?"

Losweiser paused her work slightly, glanced to the side, and said, "It's just an introduction to magic, these books should be enough."

Leon shrugged. "After the initial enlightenment, we still need to slowly teach her basic magic. I don't know much about your Dragon race's magic curriculum, so I want to take a look while I can."

"I can teach her," Rose said to Viser.

"You're usually quite busy, so let me do it."

Leon paused for a moment, then added, "You saw the tutoring I gave Noa for her entrance exam and the final result, didn't you? I'm quite good at teaching kids."

Losweiser thought about it and realized that what he said made a lot of sense.

I am indeed very busy with work, and I occasionally have to go out to patrol the territory, so I cannot consistently give magic lessons to Mu En.

Anna and the others were the same.

Looking at it this way, it's clear that Leon is the most suitable candidate.

She put down her pen, opened the drawer, and took out a key.

"On the fourth floor of the Holy Temple, at the far left, there is a library with books that can meet your needs."

Leon looked at the keys on the table, his expression calm on the surface, but he was already extremely excited inside.

As long as he can freely enter and exit the library, it won't be difficult to find a way to solve his Magic Power depletion problem.

Never underestimate how fast a top student can swim in the ocean of knowledge!

Leon suppressed his excitement and calmly picked up the keys. "Thanks."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

"Hey, wait a minute." Losweiser suddenly called out to him.

Leon paused, wondering if the Dragon Queen was about to change her mind...

He turned around. "What's wrong?"

"When you were first introduced to magic, what did you awaken?" Losweiser asked.

Upon hearing this, Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Lightning Element magic."

Regardless of race, once one begins to study magic, they will all go through the stage of enlightenment and awakening.

The magical elements awakened after enlightenment represent the user's original power.

Of course, it is possible to master other elemental magic attributes through learning, but neither the ease of control nor the learning speed is as good as the original elemental attribute at the time of awakening.

It is worth mentioning that almost all magic users can only awaken one element.

Those who can awaken two types are truly geniuses among geniuses.

Even Leon, one of humanity's top Dragon Slayer, only possessed one type.

Losweiser nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, I see."

"And you?" Leon asked casually.

"Fire Element," Losweiser said. "Almost all Dragon Race awaken Fire Element after their awakening. Didn't you learn that at the Dragon Slaying Academy?"

Leon scoffed, "I've studied it, I just asked around and you're questioning me."

Losweiser rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and continued working at her desk.

But this time, Leon did not rush to leave.

If almost all Dragon Race awaken Fire Element, while humans awaken a wide variety of powers, then...

What kind of awakening will Human-dragon hybrid experience?

"Then... what was Noa back then?" Leon asked again.

Losweiser paused, her pen still in her hand, as if she were having some difficulty speaking, and replied vaguely, "Ray."

"What?" Leon didn't hear clearly.

"... Ray, Noa's awakened element is the same as yours, okay?"

Leon laughed upon hearing this.

"Oh~~ It's normal for a daughter to resemble her Daddy ~" He swung the keys in his hand and walked back to his desk.
