Chapter 159
Noa nodded. "Okay, Daddy, I've already learned some B-rank Lightning magic at the academy. Next semester, they'll be teaching some A-rank Lightning magic, so I'd like to familiarize myself with it here beforehand."
High EQ: Get to know Dad better beforehand.
Low emotional intelligence: My classmates will be the death of me next semester.
Noa has always been very clear about what she needs, especially when it comes to her studies.
Such students do not need constant supervision in their studies, and teachers can teach them with less worry.
The "A-level" and "B-level" she mentioned refer to the difficulty of learning magic.
Both humans and Dragon Race use the English alphabet to distinguish the difficulty of learning magic. However, due to the significant individual differences between the two races, the same magic might be grade A for humans but grade B for Dragon Race.
Of course, these are minor issues. Leon had already made ample preparations beforehand and would not make mistakes such as confusing the classification system, as that would be detrimental to Noa's learning.
It can be said that for his beloved daughter, Leon completely relearned a magic ranking system. There were no tricks involved; it all came down to rote memorization.
"A-rank magic... that's good," Leon said.
The difficulty of learning a spell often indicates its final effect.
It's like how a C-rank spell can almost never deal as much damage as an A-rank spell.
But why say "most" and "almost"?
Because there are always exceptions.
Magic is also divided into combat type, skill type, and support type. Noa is not yet familiar with this, so Leon did not explain all the redundant knowledge, but only gave a basic concept.
Noa listened attentively, and after she gained a general understanding of the deeper levels of magic classification, Leon got straight to the point.
"Then, Daddy will teach you the most practical of all the A-rank Lightning magic, which is also Daddy's favorite."
"Mmm!" Noa wagged her little tail, extremely excited.
She no longer minds expressing any of her feelings in front of Leon.
Please, this is her father, not one of those childish adults outside. What's wrong with her acting cute and charming with her father?
Leon extended his right hand, palm up, fingers bent, and then activated his Magic Power.
In an instant, a faint flash of lightning enveloped Leon's entire palm, and countless arcs of electricity rubbed against the air, producing a crisp crackling sound.
The light reflected in Noa's pupils, and she opened her mouth slightly, her little face full of envy.
As a top student who consistently ranks first in the Young Dragon Department's academic rankings, Noa could immediately tell the difficulty of this A-level magic.
Gathering high-purity Lightning magic into a single point and firmly attaching it to the hand is completely different from simply "gathering energy".
It might hurt you.
Moreover, to achieve the same level of effortless proficiency as Leon, one needs not only extensive practice but also a certain amount of talent.
"This move has two release methods."
As Leon spoke, he led Noa to a training puppet. He used his hand as a blade, thrusting it out at high speed. The hand blade, enveloped in lightning energy, easily pierced through the training puppet.
"The first method is like this: release it on the spot and use the high burst damage of Lightning magic to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."
The most powerful killing moves often employ the simplest and most unadorned offensive methods; this is the advantage of Lightning magic.
"Oh, what about the second one?"
"The second type requires the user to have keen insight and superb physical skills."
Leon said, "Once you've created some distance between yourself and your enemy, you can use that distance to sprint at high speed. Once you're within attack range, use this move to attack your enemy. The momentum from the high-speed sprint will greatly increase the penetrating power of this move, making it much more effective than releasing it from a stationary position, but it's also more dangerous."
Losweiser's mind stirred slightly, and she nodded. "So Daddy, that's why you said we need keen observation and physical skills, to prevent being interrupted or ambushed by the enemy during a high-speed sprint, right?"
Leon smiled and patted Noa's head. "Noa is very smart, that's right."
"So, Daddy, does this move have a name?"
Yes, of course.
Leon reassembled his Lightning magic, and the arcs of electricity once again emitted sharp, crackling sounds in the air.
"Because when used, the magical energy rubs against the air, producing this sharp sound, like a thousand birds chirping, this move is called—"
Noa opened her beautiful big eyes, "It's called~~~"
"Strolling another er⑵ scattered 8⑧ four " Lightning Rush."⑹
The most ruthless killing moves, besides having the most unadorned attack methods, also have the most unadorned names. (Neighbor)
But—⑵
"But, Daddy, what does this name have to do with the thousand birds singing you just mentioned..." Even Noa couldn't help but complain a little.
"It's nothing, Daddy was just showing off Daddy metaphor skills. Want Daddy to teach you some?"
Noa grinned and hummed, "Haha, Daddy, you're so funny." (3)
That's certainly related. (Passing away)
The Dragon Race call this type of Lightning magic, which combines physical attacks with a sudden burst of speed, "Lightning Rush"—simple, brutal, and utterly unoriginal, much like their classic opening move, "Dragon Flame."
This is what a barbaric race that only knows how to fight and kill looks like—not elegant at all! Ba
"When it comes to naming things, we humans have to take the lead, "Leon thought.
After humans developed this magic, they gave it a more vivid and meaningful name because of the bird song it emitted when used—
Thousand Birds.
Ahem, of course, Leon can't tell Noa this name, not even jokingly saying, "Daddy has another nice name here."
Given Noa's intelligence, if one day she were to see in a book that the name of this move was conceived by humans, it would be difficult for her not to connect her father with humans.
After being baptized by the educational philosophy of the Saint Hiss Academy, I, the human Dad, might become my eldest daughter's "graduation project".
Leon shook his head, pulling himself out of his nonsensical thoughts.
However, since things have come to this point, he has to consider his human identity and his relationship with his daughters.
Just then, the crunching sound of footsteps on snow came from the entrance of the practice field.
The father and daughter turned around to look.
It's Losweiser.
She stood in the snow, draped in a thick silver cloak, her figure slender and graceful, her delicate face as pure as the first snow.
"Mom ~"
Mu En stood next to two snowballs, one big and one small, waving her little arm at Losweiser.
Losweiser waved in response, then turned her gaze to Leon and Noa.
Judging from the destroyed training doll next to the father and daughter, they were probably teaching some offensive magic.
"Don't hurt yourself when you use magic, Noa."
Losweiser had no intention of interfering with Leon's teaching of his eldest daughter; he was very good at teaching children and didn't need her to worry about it at all.
"Okay, Mom."
Noa responded and then focused on gathering Lightning Element magic in her hands.
Leon looked up at the silver-haired beauty. Snowflakes fell on her head and shoulders. She stood straight, more beautiful than a finely sculpted porcelain doll.
Losweiser returned his gaze.
Neither of them said anything, they just exchanged a quick glance before Losweiser looked away and walked over to Mu En.
The Daddy takes care of the older children, Mom takes care of the younger children; a reasonable division of labor.
"Mu En, are you building a snowman?" Losweiser walked over.
"Mmm, Mu En rolled out the snowman's body and head, but... but Mu En is too short to put them back together." Mu En looked up and cast a pleading glance at her Mom with her beautiful, sparkling eyes.
Losweiser smiled. "Then let Mom help you, okay?"
Okay~
Losweiser nodded, stepped forward, bent down and picked up the snowman's head, but because her nearly four-month pregnant belly was already quite noticeable, it took her a little effort to straighten up.
Seeing this, Dragon girl quickly ran to the side, raised her arm high to help her Mom support the other side of the snowball, and stood on tiptoe, even her tail seemed to be exerting force.
Finally, with the cooperation of the mother and daughter, the snowman's head was perfectly placed on its body.
"Mom is amazing!" Mu En ran over and shook Losweiser's wrist.
Losweiser rubbed her head. "Mu En is great too. The snowman's face is bald right now, let's add its eyes, mouth and stuff."
"Good!"
Losweiser has lived through more than two hundred winters and has never built a snowman with anyone.
Even when she was a child, she wasn't interested in this kind of game. When Ischa asked her to go out and build a snowman or have a snowball fight, she was unmoved.
She didn't understand what sense of accomplishment there was in rolling a pile of snow into a big ball and then piling it into the shape of a human.
For Losweiser at that time, it would be better to read more books and practice magic than to waste time on such things.
Even during her two daughters' first winter, she simply stood by and watched them play, without joining in.
But after spending so much time with Leon, she gradually shed the "arrogance" that a mother shouldn't have.
From the initial suggestion that the two sisters change their address from "Mother" to "Mom," to the subsequent family photos, school sports meet, and Noa's short essay on "Parents' Love," and now to building a snowman with Mu En.
She has really changed a lot.
In the past, she would never have devoted herself to these things.
She didn't want to admit that Leon had changed her, but all the subtle changes began after he woke up.
Well, all the changes are only related to his daughter and are affected by Leon.
This Queen attitude toward prisoners of war will not change in the slightest.
After his rambling thoughts ended, he found suitable replacements for the snowman's eyes, mouth, and arms.
All that's missing is a nose.
The mother and daughter stood in front of the nearly completed snowman. Dragon girl scratched her hair, which was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, and said, "Mu En can't find a suitable branch for the nose."
Just as Losweiser was about to say something, she heard footsteps behind her.
Looking back, it was Leon.
"Wow, you've built it so fast!" Leon looked at the snowman, his gaze lingering on the nose. "Why is it missing a nose?"
"The twig is too thin; it won't look good as a nose," Mu En said.
Leon crouched down and pinched Mu En's soft little nose. "Then why not make a nose just like Mu En's?"
"But if Mom said that, the snowman wouldn't be special."
Leon picked up Mu En and walked to Losweiser's side. "How can you say she has no special features? Her little nose is so cute."
"What's cute is Mu En, it has nothing to do with what her nose looks like," Losweiser said casually.
She had gradually forgotten what she had told Leon: "Cute is a derogatory term for Dragon Race."
There was no other way, since Losweiser couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe her daughters, so she simply went along with Leon's suggestion.
"A snowman should have a longer nose," Losweiser said.
Leon raised an eyebrow. "I think we should use a small nose."
"Long nose".
"Little nose."
"Long nose!"
"OK, OK, long nose." Leon didn't bother arguing with the pregnant woman.
He looked around and said, "But it seems you haven't found anything that can serve as a long nose."
"Hmph, no need to look, I brought it with me before I came."
"You just walked over when I was about to take it out," Losweiser said.
Leon blinked, thinking that Losweiser was implying that he hadn't been teaching Noa properly and had just come to join in the fun, so he explained, "Noa is practicing quite well over there, so I came to check on you guys."
