Chapter 331
Leon breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Mu En in his arms.
"Honey, you're amazing!"
"Daddy is so awesome!"
Haha, baby, you're absolutely right! Don't say that again next time!
But the fact that their beloved daughter was able to get second place despite their parents deliberately lowering their interview scores also shows that Mu En's level is indeed high, and she achieved a very high score in this more difficult test.
Moreover, this result is the most perfect ending to his and Losweiser's "No Death Plan".
This way, they can avoid becoming a model family while also preventing their daughters from feeling overwhelmed with a sense of failure.
However, to be fair, Mu En and Xiao Guang weren't actually that obsessed with getting first place; they were both just hoping to pass the test.
After all, they are much younger than other young dragons, and they only have one month to review and prepare.
On the other hand, if Mu En and Xiao Guang had the same strict requirements for grades as Noa, then Leon and Losweiser would never deliberately lower their grades in order to avoid getting themselves killed.
That would be like indulging in trivial pursuits and losing sight of priorities; they are not that kind of parents.
In short, this second place result is a win-win situation for everyone.
Daddy Mom won't die, and our precious daughter's abilities have been proven.
I, 1, abandoned the eight-babalinqi Liu I Melkwy, WIN!
"Leon ..." Losweiser's voice interrupted Leon's wandering thoughts; her tone sounded somewhat serious.
Leon immediately stopped playing around and looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"Why did the vice principal only mention 'Mu En' and not 'Xiao Guang'?"
Leon blinked and shrugged. "Although Mu En and Xiao Guang are both from our family, their grades are counted separately."
Losweiser swallowed hard, slowly turned her head, and looked into Leon's eyes.
"Then tell me... is it possible that Mu En is the second, and Xiao Guang is—"
"First place Aurorla K. Melkwy of the Silver Dragon Clan!"
Even as he stood on the podium, Leon couldn't believe it was all real.
Before the entrance exams, he and Losweiser stayed up all night researching techniques to lower their scores, so that their daughters could pass the tests without becoming the model family of the year.
To this end, they simulated at least twenty different interview scenarios;
It lists nearly a thousand questions that interviewers might ask.
They even tried living apart briefly in an attempt to dilute their passion for each other—though it ultimately didn't work.
Because this ill-fated couple had no idea how good their relationship was, simply separating them wouldn't have any effect.
After all this ordeal, they thought victory was assured. Even if Mu En came in second place, they would only have narrowly escaped God of Death and would not be pushed into the abyss of social death.
However!
Just as the couple was about to stand atop the mountain of victory and pop champagne into God of Death's face, God of Death removed his mask—
Then Xiaoguang's face was revealed!
Leon felt that his life was like a coffee table, full of tragedies.
"Daddy ~ Daddy ~ Xiaoguang got first place, why aren't you happy?"
The Little Pink Hair tugged at his sleeve and looked at him with her beautiful big eyes.
Leon lowered his head and reached out to rub her little head. "Daddy isn't unhappy, Daddy is very happy! Look, Daddy's even smiling—ha, ha, ha—"
"Daddy, your smile sounds worse than your crying." Xiao Guang hit the nail on the head.
"..."
"Look at Mom, she's very happy, but she still maintains her composure."
Maintain composure?
Leon looked at Losweiser beside him.
This Dragon Queen doesn't seem to have any mental breakdown at all?
Although her face still had that cold expression at first glance, a closer look would reveal a barely perceptible curve at the corner of her mouth.
It's obvious he's secretly pleased.
You're secretly Bull Demon, aren't you, sister!
We've all messed up. Our carefully crafted plan was like sand in the wind in front of our youngest daughter, all gone in a flash!
"Keep your composure, Leon. Even though we failed, let's look at the bright side."
Leon raised an eyebrow. "What good aspects?"
"Your daughter won another championship for you."
After a pause, Losweiser added sharply, "Oh, and the runner-up."
"Thanks the hell for reminding me!"
Speaking of this, although the first-place model family consisted of [Xiao Guang + Leon + Losweiser], Mu En, who ranked second overall, was still specially allowed by Vice Principal Wilson to go on the stage with them.
They are all family, after all. We can't just leave the little girl standing alone in the audience watching, can we?
That's incredibly inhumane.
After all four family members were in place, Vice Principal Wilson also went up to them.
As is customary, Xiaoguang will be the first to be interviewed.
"Hello, Aurorla."
The vice principal bent down, half-kneeling beside Xiao Guang, smiling kindly.
It's clear he really likes the young dragons of the Melkwy family; they're all clever and bright, just the kind of young dragons Saint Hiss Academy needs.
Leon glanced at old Deng, muttering to himself:
"Uppercut, uppercut, give him a resounding uppercut!"
However, this was just Leon's inner grumbling. Although Xiao Guang's uppercut passive was easy to trigger, it depended on the situation.
If they knocked the vice-principal's glasses off at the entrance ceremony, their family would probably be the talk of the town at the college for years to come.
"As we all know, this year's exam was much more difficult than in previous years, but you and your sister Mu En still achieved very high scores. What are your usual study methods?"
Xiao Guang answered in a childish but very serious voice, "I will listen to Daddy."
"Oh? So you mean that you and your sister's excellent results are all thanks to your Daddy?"
"Yes."
My dear daughter, why is it that even though you're telling the Daddy, it feels like knives are stabbing into Daddy heart?
I wish I hadn't taught you two so well!
It's all because Daddy is too outstanding (covers mouth to suppress laughter)
Leon relieved his embarrassment by silently telling himself lame jokes.
The vice principal stood up with satisfaction, then came to Leon's side and put his arm around Leon's shoulder like an old friend.
Leon glanced sideways at the hand resting on his shoulder.
I really dislike dragons that lack a sense of boundaries!
"I believe everyone has heard of Mr. Leon's name to some extent. A few months ago, it was he who prevented the spatial rift crisis, saving many nearby tribes from disaster. Our Principal Olet even affectionately calls him—"
"Hero of the Dragon race!"
6. Lin Er er III Si 8 finished speaking in the IV group chat, and the audience erupted in applause.
But General Leon on the stage was already drenched in sweat.
Damn frog!
Who was the first to clap?! Was it you?!
I'll cut off your dragon horns and soak them in alcohol to make wine later!
When Principal Olet told Leon that he was Dragon Hero in her office when no one else was around, Leon felt extremely uncomfortable.
My friend joined the Dragon Slayer Army at the age of fifteen and has seen and slain at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, evil dragons.
However, unexpectedly, just a few years later, the hero who slew the dragon transformed into hero of the Dragon race—
Alas, life is unpredictable.
Life is unpredictable!
And now the vice principal has proclaimed this resounding title in front of hundreds of dragons present.
You might as well roast me over a fire!
Being hailed as a hero by a group of people who have received Special Merit and first-class merit awards... that's really strange and odd.
"And Mr. Leon has also nurtured three promising talents for our academy."
The vice principal continued passionately, "His eldest daughter is Noa K. Melkwy, currently ranked first in the Young Dragon Department. The students here should have heard of this senior, Noa, right?"
Yes~
"Senior Noa is amazing!"
The baby dragons responded to every call.
"Very good. And after Noa, Mr. Leon went even further and enrolled his equally outstanding second daughter and youngest daughters in the Saint Hiss Academy. It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Leon's great feat has made an outstanding contribution to the great cause of the future of the Dragon Race!"
With the vice principal adding fuel to the fire, another round of applause erupted from the audience.
Just as the vice principal was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt a warm hand on Leon's shoulder.
He glanced down and muttered to himself, "Why are my palms sweating... am I too excited?"
Leon glared at old Deng with annoyance, secretly praying that this damn ceremony would end soon!
Next, the vice principal praised our Dragon Hero, Mr. Casmod.
Then, Mu En and Xiao Guang each hugged their father, who had made great contributions to their successful enrollment in school.
The elderly father was on the verge of tears, but what could he do besides hug him?
And after the embrace comes the classic remake.
"Mr. Leon, the daughters' segment is over. Now, I'd like to ask you, do you remember anything else you did when you stood here three years ago?"
Leon swallowed hard and stole a glance at Losweiser beside him.
The Dragon Queen continued to look ahead, a faint smile playing on her lips, seemingly having no intention of joining his conversation with the vice principal.
Leon withdrew his gaze, feigning ignorance while making a final attempt to explain, "I... I forgot, Vice Principal."
"Well, okay, let me remind you that three years ago, you stood in this spot and kissed your wife, Ms. Losweiser."
Leon smiled, his eyes narrowing. "Really?... Haha, I was naive back then, just kissing for fun."
"Well then, Mr. Leon, the ceremony is drawing to a close. Please use the same kiss as last time to bring this ceremony to a perfect close!"
"Oh, this..."
What do you all think?
The onlookers in the audience were also very interested.
"Great! I support it!"
"I'd heard so much about how loving the Silver Dragon couple are, and today I'm finally lucky enough to witness their public displays of affection. A kiss! They absolutely have to kiss!"
"Give me a kiss~ Give me a kiss~"
"..."
The cheers and jeers rose and fell.
For a moment, Leon couldn't tell if this was an entrance ceremony or a wedding.
"Oh~ Daddy's going to Mom ~" Little Mu'en chimed in, joining in the fun.
