Chapter 361

The first method is to travel normally, but whether in human or dragon form, it takes a lot of time.

The second method involves using spatial magic for point-to-point teleportation. The advantage of this method is that it significantly reduces travel time, but the disadvantage is that, across the entire Dragon Race, there are no more than five tribes that are proficient in and frequently use spatial magic.

The worst part is that the dragon kings of three tribes were also killed by General Leon.

The third option is to take a specific mode of transportation. Although it still takes several days to reach the Far North, it is still much faster than flying by yourself.

The third method was chosen for the Far North practical assessment of the Academy's Young Dragon Department of Saint Hiss Academy.

As for the so-called "means of transportation," they are the children's old friends—

Leviathan Dragon.

Despite their large size and docile nature, these 'school buses' are actually one of the few tribes that have mastered spatial magic.

Although it doesn't belong to the same school of spatial magic as Ravi and the others, it's still perfectly adequate for traveling.

This journey starts from the academy and is expected to take three days to reach the Far North.

Noa, carrying a backpack full of books, stood obediently behind a group of senior students and entered the Leviathan's teleportation pillar in an orderly manner.

"Oh, look, there's a little guy coming with us."

"Are there any extra spots again...? I remember a senior telling me that the last time the Young Dragon Department signed up for the Far North combat assessment was many years ago."

Amid the conversation, a tall senior student turned around, bent slightly, rested her hands on her knees, and asked with a smile, "Little cutie, what's your name?"

"Noa, Noa K. Melkwy."

Upon hearing this, the senior student seemed slightly surprised, "You're Noa, the famous one from the Young Dragon Department?"

Juan Wang blushed slightly, her grip on her backpack strap tightening involuntarily. "N-not very famous..."

She had never chatted with a teenager before, so she seemed a little nervous when she suddenly started talking to him.

"My name is Yuna, and I'm from the Lightning Dragon race. It's nice to meet you, junior Noa."

"Lightning Dragon race..."

Noa blinked and looked Yuna up and down again. "But I remember that the Lightning Dragon race is generally very tall and thin."

Noa remembered that a few years ago, during a relay race at the family sports meet held at the academy, her Daddy almost died when he was ambushed by a tall member of the Lightning Dragon race.

But in the end, her father was one step ahead and won the game.

"Nuoya, what do you mean? Are you saying that your senior's figure isn't good?" Yuna pretended to be angry.

Noa panicked and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's... it's..."

Yuna pouted, and seeing that Noa was flustered, she stopped teasing her. "Don't be nervous, I was just kidding. The tall and thin one you mentioned is Electric Dragon race, I'm a thunder dragon."

Noa suddenly realized, "Oh, I remembered wrong, I'm sorry."

"It's alright, people often confuse our two tribes."

Yuna was a very easy-going senior and didn't mind the matter at all.

"Did you come to register by yourself?" Yuna asked.

Noa nodded.

"The environment in the Far North is very harsh, and the dangerous species that live there are tough and resilient. You can easily get hurt if you're not careful," Yuna said with an air of seriousness.

But Noa wasn't intimidated at all. "I know, Yuna."

Yuna was taken aback; the little guy's eyes were full of determination.

I don't know if it's because she's young and fearless, or if the junior schoolmate is really capable.

Yuna, for her part, leans more towards the latter.

After all, Saint Hiss Academy is full of geniuses and elites, and Noa, who can stand out in such an environment, is no ordinary person.

"Yuna, we're going for an assessment. You're not thinking of bringing a little kid along, are you? They'll just hold us back."

"That's what a senior student next to me said."

Yuna turned to look at him. "Mind your own business, Anton."

The senior student Anton shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

Yuna rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything more. She looked back at Noa and put on her previous friendly smile. "It's okay, Noa. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me anytime."

"Okay, thank you, senior."

Yuna smiled and continued chatting with Noa while waiting in line.

Once everyone had boarded Leviathan, Yuna went to find her classmates.

Before leaving, she repeatedly told Noa that if she encountered any trouble, she should definitely come to her.

Noa said she would.

She's such a kind-hearted senior.

Noa stood at the rear of Leviathan, from where she could see the entire back of the Leviathan.

To make the journey less boring, the school has also set up some simple accommodations.

Fortunately, Leviathan is a good-natured 'school bus'; otherwise, if such a party were held on the back of any dragon, he would have turned on them the next second.

Seeing that all the upperclassmen in front of her had companions, Noa was all alone.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but miss her best friend, Xiao Hailong.

Including travel time, this assessment will take about ten days.

Aside from the senior student named Yuna, Noa didn't know anyone else.

She blinked her beautiful big eyes, put down her schoolbag, and sat down cross-legged.

Its silver tail draped behind it, and its chin rested gently on its backpack.

A gentle breeze ruffled Noa's bangs, and she lowered her eyes, looking somewhat lonely and forlorn.

"A little while later, "Noa murmured to herself.

"If Helena were here..."

"I guess someone misses me."

A familiar voice came from behind me.

Noa suddenly looked up and followed the sound.

A splash of blue caught my eye.

"Helena..."

"Honestly, you walked so fast this morning, I couldn't catch up with you."

As she spoke, Helena put down her backpack and sat down next to Noa.

Noa was still slightly dazed even after her best friend sat down next to her.

"Why are you here too?"

"How did I end up here... Hmm, that's a good question."

Helena stroked her chin, pretending to think, and after a moment, she replied, "Because there are two spots in total, one for you and one for me, it's just right!"

"... I can do math, Helena. I'm asking why you're also signing up?"

"Because the thought of a little silver dragon spending three days and three nights in the freezing cold, without a single familiar face around, would be so lonely, I couldn't sit still."

"I'm not afraid of being alone..."

"You're not afraid, but you don't like it, do you?"

Noa opened her mouth as if to refute, but couldn't find the words.

Helena is right. She is indeed not afraid to take the assessment alone; she doesn't like feeling lonely.

Having grown up with her younger sister since childhood, and with Dad Mom being top-notch parents, Noa had never experienced anything on her own except for the first few days of school.

I thought this would finally be a chance to challenge myself, but my best friend showed up unexpectedly.

"Hmph, well, then I'll practice next time. Anyway, the academy has a lot of practical assessments," Dragon girl thought to herself.

The two best friends chatted for a while, and suddenly realized that Leviathan was slowly slowing down and descending.

"What's going on? Isn't it supposed to go straight to the Far North?" Noa asked.

"Hey, haven't you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"A tour group also accompanied us this time."

Upon hearing this, Noa's lips twitched slightly. "Tourism group... how could there be such a thing?"

Helena shrugged and patted the massive scales of Leviathan beneath her. "Uncle Leviathan needs to eat too, you know. He takes us to the assessment, picks up a tour group on the side, and markets the tickets as limited editions—he makes a fortune!"

Noa covered her face and accepted this reality.

For the next leg of the journey, Leviathan made frequent stops and picked up many tourists heading to the Far North.

Noa wasn't interested; in fact, she was feeling a bit drowsy.

Half an hour later, Noa saw it from afar... her Mom's Silver Dragon Sanctuary.

"Wow, it's your Noa! Are your aunt and uncle also going on a trip to the Far North?" Helena, slightly excited.

After thinking for a moment, Noa immediately got up, grabbed Helena's hand, and hid in a corner to secretly observe.

"What's wrong, Noa? Aren't you going to say hello to your aunt and uncle?" Helena asked.

Noa shook her head. "Helena, you said last time that you envied the way my family gets along, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Noa, the dutiful daughter, smiled slightly, "This time, I'll show you how the two of them actually get along in private."

"Huh?"

"I'll give you a number: in ten days, they'll kiss at least twenty times!"

This is the confidence that model parents gave me.

—The Silver eldest princess, Noa K. Melkwy.

Leviathan's spatial teleportation magic does not belong to the same faction as that of dragon kings like Ravi, and there is a skill cooldown period after each teleportation.

Furthermore, due to its size, Leviathan's teleportation distance is slightly inferior to that of Ravi's spatial magic.

Even so, this is the fastest way for Leon and Losweiser to reach the Far North under the current circumstances.

That evening, Leviathan had just performed a long-distance teleportation. While waiting for his skill to recover, Leon stood on the edge of the behemoth's back and looked down.

The vast, deep forest stretches as far as the eye can see, and the distant horizon reveals a clear arc.

Standing on the back of this enormous creature, flying overhead over all things in the world, truly gives you a unique feeling.

"Isn't it spectacular? Everyone who climbs Leviathan for the first time is as shocked as you are, speechless."

Behind me came a familiar, familiar voice.

Leon turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

A tall, slender figure walked slowly towards them, the wind ruffling her long silver hair, which danced in the night like a fluttering sprite.

"I'm not shocked." Leon withdrew his gaze and continued looking at the distant horizon.

"And who are you?"

"I'm thinking," Leon said seriously.

The Queen raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. "You can actually think. What are you thinking about?"

Leon put his hands in his pockets, lowered his eyes slightly, then stomped his foot twice on Leviathan's giant scales and said, "Such a big dragon, it must take a lot of effort to cut it down."

"..."

Losweiser rolled her eyes, speechless.

She knew it; this idiot was definitely not thinking anything good when he said he was pondering something.
