Chapter 107: Chapter 101: This Dragon Possesses the Qualities of a Heroic Leader_2
Because this is advice from Dragon Dad Noah: as long as the Red Dragon following her shows the slightest disobedience or odd behavior, she must immediately activate the electric shock bracelet, without hesitation and without mercy.
"Miss Gwen, you are truly decisive; you will undoubtedly become a very excellent Legendary Mage in the future."
Though his body was in extreme pain, Bar gritted his teeth and complimented flatteringly, and his sycophantic manner somehow made the little girl feel a bit embarrassed.
As a Red Dragon, suffering such torment, Bar had no ill will towards Little Gwen—not because he didn’t, but because he didn’t dare. He didn’t see any creatures around that could deliver instant punishment.
That explained everything. He had figured out the girl’s identity; she was the granddaughter of a legendary and powerful mage and was under the care and upbringing of a Golden Dragon.
With such noble status, yet exceedingly fragile among short-lived species, how could it be possible for her to be allowed to stay with an evil Red Dragon without protection?
If he had any improper behavior, he would be crushed instantly, and the force that could destroy him was likely already hovering over his head, unbeknownst to him.
Most likely, the little girl could activate that lethal force at any time, making him even more cautious to not act rashly; instead, he endeavored to please her to the best of his ability because his little life was likely still in her hands.
"How interesting, the most cruel and irritable Red Dragon bloodline is even more understanding of patience than the Green Dragons and even knows how to flatter."
Seeing the Red Dragon, who praised her granddaughter after being beaten, Selena was even more intrigued,
"Add three more flawless gemstones, and if you agree, you can still have two hatchlings, and they might even know how to resist, perhaps giving you more enjoyment with the Red Dragons."
The mage knew what the Golden Dragon’s purpose was when he originally asked for the Red Dragon egg, but Noah still didn’t hesitate and refused the mage’s proposal,
"Compared to Bar, the stereotypical Red Dragon is too dull and silly, uninteresting."
After rejecting the foster mother’s proposal, Noah shifted the conversation to the main topic,
"By the way, in a few days, it’s Little Gwen’s third birthday. What form of test are you planning for her?"
"What test?"
A look of confusion appeared in the female mage’s eyes.
"Didn’t you say it? Have me teach her five language courses, and on her third birthday, you want to conduct a test for her."
Noah felt that something was off.
"Oh, that, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten."
Selena extended her slender forefinger, bent the joint, and tapped her brow,
"A comprehensive test sounds bothersome. Why don’t we skip it, and I’ll just consider you qualified."
"What do you mean by ’consider us qualified’?"
Noah immediately disagreed, and some small scales on his body bristled,
"Little Gwen can now withstand any of these five language-related tests."
"I know, I’ve been keeping an eye on you two, so I said it’s not necessary."
Selena spread her hands, providing Noah with an irrefutable reason,
"The test is merely a formality to check if the knowledge has been grasped. I am very aware of Little Gwen’s proficiency in these languages, so the comprehensive test is redundant and a waste of time."
"..."
Noah couldn’t help but clench his right forepaw, producing a slight metallic friction sound between the scales, but Selena continued as though she hadn’t noticed,
"Next, Little Gwen’s curriculum includes the introduction to spells and meditation, and that can’t be handed over to you.
The difference between Dragons and humans is too great, and I wouldn’t trust it, so I’ll personally take charge."
"What do you mean by ’personally take charge’?"
"It means that I will fulfill my duty as a sister and teach Little Gwen all the knowledge I possess."
Selena displayed a girlish tantrum and caprice, even shamelessly claiming to be Little Gwen’s sister, but Noah didn’t focus on that, instead noticing what was important,
"Since you’re going to teach her personally, does that mean I’ll rarely see her again in the future?"
"How could that be possible? I’m not going anywhere. The basic facilities in Mage City are partly completed, and some facilities are already operational.
I will teach Little Gwen there; if you’re willing, you can visit her anytime, though I don’t recommend frequent visits, but you can drop by during breaks.
Of course, if you want to attend classes with Little Gwen, that’s also possible; I don’t mind taking on another student, although I suspect you’re not interested in my foundational magic courses."
"I can teach Little Gwen the basics of spells, it’s too simple."
"Yes, it’s too simple for you; no spell can stump you, you just need to see it once to learn and master it, and you can even create entirely new spells of your own."
The female mage nodded profoundly, highly recognizing Noah’s talent in spells,
"So, I would never let you become Little Gwen’s spellcasting guide."
"Why?"
"The reason I’ve already mentioned: you’re a Dragon, while Little Gwen is human; your spellcasting techniques and habits absolutely cannot be shared."
Selena provided the reasoning, along with an evaluation that Noah wasn’t sure whether to be proud of or frustrated by,
"Besides, spell geniuses are the least suitable to teach others. It’s the mediocre mages, who hover over a few spells for years and probe every corner, that achieve particularly excellent results in teaching students."
"But your talent isn’t mediocre either!"
"Yes, but my talent happens to be quite similar to Little Gwen’s, which makes me the most suitable teacher to guide her and lead her into the field."
Noah was speechless; what could he say? The foster mother believed his talent to be too outstanding, and being a member of the Dragon Clan, made him unsuitable to teach a human genius.
Thus, Little Gwen’s life was about to undergo a change again, bringing her nearly two years of happy learning to an end.
"You should have long anticipated today happening, shouldn’t you? For humans, a short-lived species like this, one or two years will bring about a change, in three to five years, they will no longer be the same as the people in your memory, sometimes completely different."
When Gwendolin learned on her third birthday that she was going to continue her studies with her grandmother, although she was in a daze for quite a while, and the smile on her face that lasted all day vanished entirely, she didn’t cry as she did at the age of one.
"Little Gwen has grown up!"
Seeing the smile vanish from his face, and the light in his eyes dim although not crying but calmly accepting the arrangement, Noah could only sigh like this.
"Indeed, grown-up, wiser than I ever was."
Tidel, who also attended his daughter’s birthday party, also sighed, his eyes showing some guilt because he believed he had not fulfilled his duties as a father very well.
His wife, years ago, enraged by their daughter’s unjust punishment, had confronted the Elf Mage as a Half-Elf, cut off his limbs before letting him go.
In contrast, he had done nothing.
"Is Edith pregnant again?"
Noah didn’t continue to wallow in sadness with Tidel at the party; it wasn’t a matter of life and death, just Little Gwen changing to a teacher more suitable for her.
"Yes."
Tidel wasn’t surprised at how the Golden Dragon noticed, just a little embarrassed, looking somewhat shy.
Because his wife was devouring food, seemingly slender and tall, yet eating like a starving Giant Beast, like she was about to gorge on wind and pluck clouds.
A whole Dragon Horn antelope had just been served, but in an instant, she could eat it cleanly with astonishing speed.
