"What exactly do you want to do?"
The Holy Dragon Grand Lord poked his head out from the layers upon layers of palatial structures piled like mountains and looked down at the Legendary Mage who wandered around his palace every few days, finally unable to endure any longer.
"I want my little Scadilo!"
The girl floating among the clouds showed no fear as the enormous head of the Golden Dragon came near her. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and demanded with confidence,
"I need to raise my daughter."
"That’s my daughter!"
"I don’t care, I want her, if you don’t give her to me, I’ll take her by force, you can’t always be around!"
Selena immediately threatened the Holy Dragon Grand Lord before her.
At this moment, the girl showed none of the dignity expected of a Legendary Mage. Anyway, Noah couldn’t see a trace of it, let alone as an elder, she seemed extraordinarily outrageous.
"What kind of elder are you?"
"What elder? I’m little Scadilo’s sister."
Selena was not ashamed but proud, boasting about the term of address the Silver Dragon hatchling gave her.
"Do you really insist on taking care of my daughter?"
Noah saw the shameless expression of his aunt and could only think about how to compromise since he couldn’t do anything to this elder.
Not to mention her own strength, and she could summon the Hell Demon God anytime with the Great Summoning Technique, which was capable of severely injuring even a demigod of the Material Realm.
Moreover, no one can defend against a thief for a thousand days. Noah could stay by his daughter’s side for a long time, but he couldn’t stay there forever.
"Of course, little Scadilo needs me, haven’t you seen how much she likes me?"
Selena replied confidently, her eyebrows dancing with delight, her sly smile barely hidden, for she could already hear the concession in the dragon’s words.
Hearing these words, Noah fell into contemplation, because he had to admit his aunt was right, Scadilo indeed liked this aunt of his a lot.
The reason was simple; this Legendary Mage was, apart from him and her mother Annabelle, the first person able to physically interact with her, and she showed considerable kindness and affection.
For a little girl who couldn’t be touched by any creature besides her parents since birth, it was truly irresistible.
The arrival of the Legendary Mage Selena dispelled the loneliness shrouding Scadilo. How could Scadilo not develop newfound fondness for Selena?
"It’s not impossible for you to take care of my daughter, but you must agree to some of my conditions."
Noah finally thought of it, so he spoke to his foster mother, but as soon as he spoke, it displeased the girl,
"I’m helping you take care of your daughter, and you still want to set conditions with me?"
Selena widened her eyes, looking at Noah with an incredulous expression.
"First of all, no dragon asked you to take care of her, secondly, you offered to do it yourself, and furthermore, your fondness for my daughter gave me leverage, now just tell me if you agree or not!"
Now it was Noah’s turn to speak with confidence, putting on an air of indifference.
"Tell me, what are your requirements?"
"I’m not trying to make it difficult for you, just agree to join the academy and become a teacher."
"Join the academy? Are you talking about that mess of a Dragon Academy you set up?"
Selena immediately understood which academy Noah was referring to.
"The mess is only temporary, I’m about to reorganize, that’s why I’m inviting you."
The Dragon Academy, located in the Cloud Sea Secret Realm, was nearly completed in the year Annabelle laid the dragon egg, and when his little daughter was born, the Dragon Academy had been running for twelve years.
However, as Selena, his foster mother, mentioned, the current Dragon Academy was a complete mess, even though Noah had hired a considerable number of Ancient Dragons to teach the hatchlings, it didn’t help.
These Ancient Dragons, aged around a thousand years, were themselves one of the sources of the current messy situation of the Dragon Academy.
Because these old dragons, being lazy, even though they took benefits from Noah and agreed to teach, they only taught and ignored everything else.
In their view, giving a lecture was one fee, and babysitting was another. So they only lectured, and as for whether any dragons came to listen, whether they listened attentively, and what they learned afterward, they didn’t care at all.
Therefore, the current Dragon Academy was more like a combination of a nursing home and a daycare center, with hundreds of little dragons gathered together, playing wildly every day, occasionally listening to old dragons bragging about their great exploits in youth, mixed with a little useful knowledge, which passed for a class.
"Are you planning to send little Scadilo to the Dragon Academy?"
Selena grasped Noah’s intention.
"That’s right, I plan to send her to the Dragon Academy, where she will make many friends."
"Are you sure this is making friends?"
Selena’s tone carried a bit of amusement,
"The power emanating from your daughter is incomparably terrifying, you should know better than I, maybe the Ancient Dragons can withstand it, but do you think those hatchlings that haven’t fully grown can withstand this power?"
"It depends on your skills as her sister. I hope you can tailor a set of gear that can suppress or isolate her power, not necessarily full control, but just so the dragon species can have close contact and communication with her."
