Chapter 507
"... No, not at all."
"You just despise me, you want a divorce, and you're going to abuse me."
Leon:?
Pregnant women are terrifying.
The next day, Leon also changed into sportswear and went to the practice field.
Now that Noa has resumed training, his personal punching bag as his beloved daughter can't be idle either.
When Leon arrived at the practice field, Noa had already started warming up.
The King of Curry's morning warm-up routine is as follows:
100 shuttle runs, 200 high knees, 300 push-ups, and 100 one-arm pull-ups.
If they're in good form, they'll run a few laps around the practice field as a kind of 'dessert after dinner'.
During warm-up, Noa didn't need a sparring partner, so her father sat quietly on the grass nearby and watched.
The breakfast box he had just brought was next to him.
Before long, Noa finished warming up, waving her little arms, and ran over from the other side of the practice field.
"Good morning, Dad."
A thin layer of sweat covered her face, her cheeks were flushed, and she was breathing slightly heavily.
"Take a break, catch your breath, and then have breakfast."
As Leon spoke, he handed over water and a towel.
"Good."
Noa reached out and took it, then wet the towel with water and wiped her face.
I felt much refreshed immediately.
After a quick clean-up, Noa sat down next to Leon.
The father and daughter stood side by side, their arms wrapped around their knees, their postures remarkably identical.
They looked at the huge training ground, as if they hadn't trained at home in a long time.
For the past few months, Noa has been preparing for her promotion exam at the academy, while Leon has been tracking down Shadow in the Empire.
So returning to my home practice range this time evoked quite a few emotions.
"Dad."
"Um?"
"I've pretty much mastered the Lightning Wolf Breaking Army move you taught me last time."
"Oh? That's impressive. You've mastered it in such a short time. When Dad was learning this move, it took me much longer than you."
In front of his daughter, our champion King also put aside his pride and did not hold back his praise.
Moreover, he now understands Noa's thoughts.
Her years of hard training were all for the sake of gaining her father's approval and recognition.
So of course Leon would praise her a lot.
Noa smiled.
Being praised by her Dad first thing in the morning makes her happy all day.
But then, Noa frowned.
Leon keenly noticed the subtle change in his daughter's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah... it's nothing, it's just... in actual combat, I might not be able to use Lightning Wolf Breaking Army."
"Why? Is it because the preparation time is too long, and we're afraid the enemy will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"
Noa shook her head. "I can't really describe it, but I can demonstrate."
"Okay. Oh wait, let's eat breakfast first."
"Yes, Dad!"
After breakfast, the father and daughter went to the practice field.
After creating some distance, Noa began to gather Lightning magic in her palm.
After the group was assembled, Noa waved her right hand, and the lightning transformed into a ferocious wolf that charged at lightning speed.
Leon witnessed the entire process of casting the spell; it was a smooth, effortless, and perfectly executed move Lightning Wolf Breaking Army.
After the Thunder Wolf burst out of Noa's hand, the powerful energy backlash sent Noa back two steps, her upper body swaying as she barely managed to steady herself.
Noa finished her attack and looked at her Dad.
"That's about it. After using Lightning Wolf Breaking Army, I couldn't control my body's swaying and backward movement."
Leon nodded thoughtfully.
The reason for this problem is quite easy to understand.
"Because Lightning Wolf Breaking Army is a ranged magic, it requires a certain amount of Magic Power to propel it when it is released, and this explosive force will also have a reaction on you."
Leon walked over and patted his daughter's head. "You're too young right now, and your body isn't strong enough, so of course you'll be affected by this recoil."
To put it in Rebecca's words:
Why is the recoil of this sniper rifle with the groove so strong?
"Is there any solution, Dad?"
Leon clicked his tongue, also somewhat perplexed.
"There really isn't a suitable solution. It's just that your Dad didn't think things through and rushed to teach you this trick."
Noa smiled and shook her little head. "It's not your fault, Dad. I had to learn it sooner or later anyway. Now teach me some other moves."
"Okay, come here, Dad has a lot of tricks up his sleeve waiting to teach you."
I have something to do tonight, so there won't be any extra updates. Don't wait up for me, everyone! Love you all!
76 Big Brother, your armor is nothing compared to my awesomeness!
A few days later, with the re-enactment of the promotion exam approaching, the couple took Noa back to the Saint Hiss Academy together.
However, because Losweiser was pregnant and could not fly in her dragon form for long periods of time, Shirley from the Guard corps was responsible for accompanying her.
After a long flight, the family arrived at the college gate a few hours later.
Just as class was ending, Noa didn't rush back to her own class to report. Instead, she went to the Young Dragon Department's playground, where she was looking for something.
A moment later, she spotted her sisters among the young dragons, waved, called their names, and ran over.
"Mu En! Xiao Guang!"
Two little Dragon girl are catching dragonflies on the playground.
Mu En said this thing would taste really good when grilled, crunchy and delicious;
Xiao Guang said we are noble dragons, and dragons cannot eat dragonflies;
Mu En thought for a moment, then replied seriously, "But I'll bake it thoroughly before I eat it."
Xiao Guang couldn't argue, so he could only accompany his second sister during break time to catch "after-meal snacks".
Upon hearing her sister's voice, Mu En's ahoge (cowlick) immediately went up, accurately locking onto her sister's direction.
"It's my older sister! My older sister~"
Dragonflies can't compare to the fragrance of a sister.
Little Moon ran straight to Noa and then expertly jumped into her arms.
"Sister, have you been out taking assessments these past few days? Mu En hasn't seen you at all, I miss you so much."
Mu En hugged Noa's arm while rubbing her soft cheek.
To avoid causing panic among the younger students, the academy temporarily sealed off information about the Nightmare Moon Forest, which is why Mu En didn't know where her sister had been these past few days.
Fortunately, Noa recovered quickly; otherwise, if the two little ones had come home on the weekend and found their older sister there, they would have definitely pressed her for an explanation.
"Well... I've been quite busy these days, so I haven't had time to go out and have fun."
Noa patted her little sister's head, then quickly changed the subject, "Oh right, Daddy Mom came to see us too, they're over there."
Mu En's eyes sparkled. "Daddy Mom are here too? Yay!"
Leon and Losweiser were also there, cooperating with their eldest daughter, waving to Mu En, and the Dragon girl wagged her tail and ran over.
However, just when Noa thought she had calmed Mu En down, a tuft of pink hair suddenly appeared in her line of sight.
Noa was taken aback.
Oh no, there's another one.
And they're not so easy to fool.
"Xiao Guang... why aren't you going—"
"Your injury has healed, big sister?"
Noa's heart skipped a beat, but she decided to play dumb for now. "What injury... I'm not injured."
She didn't really want her sisters to know what she and Helena had experienced in the Nightmare Moon Forest.
It's like how Daddy and they always only report good news and never bad.
She was the eldest sister in the family, the oldest child, so she couldn't let her younger sisters worry about her.
Helena mentioned in her letter a few days ago that the academy had blocked the news, which put Noa at ease.
But Xiao Guang's question, "Is your injury healed?" really surprised Juan Wang.
"Don't pretend, I have an intelligence network that covers every corner of the academy. Getting some inside scoops isn't difficult for me."
Xiao Guang moved closer to Noa and lowered his voice.
She knew that such hard-won information should never be publicized, so she wouldn't shout it out.
"You even managed to find out about this kind of information?" Noa asked in surprise.
"Of course, I know exactly which day of the holiday starts each semester," Xiao Guang said proudly.
There are always some brilliant classmates in school who are well-informed and have all the latest news.
They can easily find out about holidays on a small scale, or spread exam answers on a larger scale. No gossip or scandal in the entire school can escape their intelligence network.
Xiao Guang is such a student.
However, Xiao Guang is fundamentally different from those well-informed students.
Others build their own campus intelligence networks to benefit themselves, to show off in front of others, and to satisfy their vanity.
But Xiaoguang was building an intelligence network—
"I only did this to see different kinds of fun more quickly, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected reward."
"... That fits my stereotype of you, little guy."
Noa pinched her little sister's cheek with a mixture of helplessness and affection, then instructed, "Don't tell Mu En, I'm afraid she'll worry."
"Okay, big sister~"
One of the main reasons why Xiao Guang hasn't been disliked despite being Le Zilong for so long is that this Little Pink Hair guy has a very high EQ.
Say the right thing and do the right thing at the right time.
Just like she felt that eating dragonflies was a disgrace to the Dragon Race, she would still come to accompany her second sister to catch dragonflies.
In this respect, Xiao Guang inherited the characteristics of Leon and Losweiser: they don't say it, but they always consider others in their actions.
