Volume 7, Chapter 22: Targeted. This Is a Setup
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
***One month later, Leon rode his eagle buddy toward Saint Heath Academy to attend the Vice Principal selection examination.
In the academys reception hall, the newly promoted Principal B-tier Dragon Wilson personally came out to greet him.
Your Highness! Its been far too long, Your Highness.
Wilson grasped Leons hand tightly in both of his own, giving it a firm slap on the back.
Your eldest daughter Noa recently represented the academy in the Youth Dragon Divisions combat tournament. First match, and she already brought home the championship. A true daughter of royalty!
Noa had casually mentioned this tournament last week when she came home.
All the young dragons competing were a bunch of rookiesnothing like the enemies shes fought before.
Leon agreed internallyof course they were no match. After all, his darling daughter had once fought Dragon Kings. These competitors? Basically just like Principal Wilson.
As Will led Leon into the reception room, he seated him properly and had someone pour two cups of hot tea.
Honestly, when we sent the invitation to the Silver Dragon Clan, I was hoping Your Highness would consider taking the exam. Didnt expect youd actually show up.
Leon smiled.
Principal Wilson, youve looked after our Melkvey family all these years and even took the time to personally send us an invitation. Naturally, I had to give you the respect you deserve. My wife and I spent a whole month preparing for this.
Still knows how to say the right things, doesnt he?
Of course, what would really determine how difficult this selection exam was going to bewas the principals impression of him.
After all, he was aiming for the Vice Principal position.
Leon had always been highly competitiveonly victory gave him that raw sense of being alive.
After some casual chatting, Leon asked:
By the way, why did Principal Olette resign? Was her term up?
Oh, about thatOlette still had about seven years left in her tenure, but she chose to submit her resignation early to the board.
Wilson explained:
She wrote very clearly in her resignation letter: Now that Samael has stabilized, theres no internal strife among dragonkind, and the Void has been sealed again, her years of field investigations can come to an end.
And she no longer needed the title of Saint Heaths Principal to pull strings for certain classified matters.
She wanted to give the opportunity to younger dragons with more vision and potential, so she made a decisive choice to step down.
After resigning, she left with your maternal grandmotherMadam Veronicato travel the continent together.
Just a few days ago, Olette even sent me a letter and a photo. Theyve already arrived in the southern part of Samael. Judging by the photo, she looks greatno need for us to worry.
Leon nodded cheerfully.
Seems like getting older makes people want to travel.
His in-laws had also chosen to wander the world after resolving the Void crisis.
Wonder if theyll run into Grandma Veronica and Principal Olette by chance.
Will chuckled heartily.
I plan to travel too someday, Your Highness. Samael is vastso many sights weve never seen.
With how long our lifespans are, we can really enjoy life after retirement.
Leon touched his chestthe spot where Rosvisser had embedded his heart-scale.
And now... maybe someday, many years from now, I can travel this continent with Rosvisser too... To meet people and witness things weve never seen before. Youre right, Principal Wilson.
After a pause, Leon shifted the topic.
So, which clans did the academy invite to this selection exam?
According to the academys tradition, we send invitations to clans that have made exceptional contributions to dragonkind over the last hundred years.
The Vice Principal said:
Needless to say, the Silver Dragons were on that list. As for the rest...
At that moment, the Vice Principal suddenly stopped.
Leon raised an eyebrow. And then?
The Vice Principal gave a sly smile.
Its a surprise, Your Highness.
Old B-Dragons playing coy now?
But I can give you a little hint.
Oh? What kind of hint?
Among this years invited clans... youve got an old friend.
Leons eyes lit up at those words. He softly echoed:
An old friend...
Interesting. Now Im really looking forward to this.
Could it be Old Constantine or that geezer Odin?
Cl-Claudia-senpai?!
Why do you look so shocked to see me here?
The blue-haired beauty leaned back into her seat with her arms crossed and long legs elegantly raised.
Claudias beautiful eyes gazed at Leon, smiling.
My Sea Dragon Clan might keep to ourselves, but weve still contributed a lot to dragonkind.
Leons eyelid twitched. Uh... like what exactly?
I helped with your last few raid battles, didnt I? Hm?
Well, thats true...
But if we go by Claudia the Multi-Battle Dragon Queens logic, then every single person whos helped General Leon raid counts as someone who made great contributions to dragonkind...
Dont you agree, members of the Lionheart Order from the Human Empire?
Hows Senior Poseidon doing these days?
Leon turned to another elder seated in the room and asked.
Last I heard, he was ambushed by a swarm of Void tideworms from the North, which left him too injured to join the final battle.
I havent heard how hes doing now.
Fathers already recovered. Hes the one who suggested I apply for the Vice Principal position.
Claudia lowered her lashes, lazily rubbing her glossy fingernails as she added slowly:
But if Id known you were coming, Leon, I wouldnt have needed his suggestionId have rushed here myself.
Huh? Why?
Claudia blinked. Just then, Will stepped out to greet the other candidates.
Taking the opportunity, Claudia suddenly leaned in close to Leons side, whispering with a wicked grin,
Theres not a single dragon who could resist the chance to test the might of the strongest dragonslayer... outside the battlefield.
...
You dragons are all crazy.
If someone else had said that, Leon wouldve just laughed it off.
But this was Claudiaa dragon who could quite literally beat him into the ground with her brain.
Still, Leon couldnt help but feel secretly relieved:
Good thing the old friend Wilson meant was Claudia. Good thing only one dragon who can outwit me showed up...
At that moment, a very familiar voice rang out from the doorway.
What? My dear brother-in-laws already here? Oi oi, why didnt you say so earlier!
Ahhh, we shouldve come in together!
Leon: ?
Principal Olette... You really didnt tell that old geezer Wilson Im human, right?
Why do all the invitees feel so... targeted, you bastard?!
