The corridors on each floor of the teaching building were filled with parents of young dragons. Some were struggling to find their children's classes, while others took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with outsiders.
Leon and Rossweisse went straight to Noa's class.
The head teacher was standing at the classroom door to welcome each family.
After all, Saint Hiss is an aristocratic academy, and those who can study here are not ordinary families of the dragon clan. Therefore, while the teachers teach and answer questions and perform their duties conscientiously, they will not put on airs and treat every family with a smile.
The head teacher had just received a family and had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the Leon couple walking towards him.
She hurried over and took the initiative to shake hands with Leon and Rossweisse.
The vice-principal has instructed that we should treat model families with ten or even nine times more enthusiasm!
"Welcome to the essay writing ceremony. Thank you for your hard work."
"No, no, it's even harder for teachers to teach so many children," Rossweisse replied politely.
The head teacher felt a little embarrassed by the praise and chuckled, "It's okay, this is my job. You two go in first, Noa will sit in the middle of the first row."
Because she is much younger than the other young dragons and naturally shorter, it is reasonable for the head teacher to put Noa in the first row so that she can see the blackboard clearly.
"Ok."
The couple was about to step into the classroom, but stopped as if they suddenly thought of something.
Rossweisse pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, I want to ask, will Vice Principal Wilson be here today?"
The head teacher shook his head and said, "The vice-president went to the principal of the main campus for a meeting today, so he will not be present at this small award ceremony."
Immediately, the couple breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been granted amnesty.
If Old B Long, the "social death executioner", is not here, then if there is a part about model families in the ceremony, it should be able to be quickly skipped.
Leon and Rossweisse no longer had to worry about not being able to find a crack in the ground to crawl into like they did the previous two times.
They walked into the classroom side by side and saw Noa in the first row.
"Mom and Dad, here~" Noah stood in her seat and waved at them.
The two walked over and sat down on either side of Noah.
The classroom is very spacious. In order to allow every family to accompany their children to attend the ceremony happily and comfortably, the college has set up a parent seat next to each young dragon seat.
After sitting down, Leon asked, "The letter from the college didn't mention the results this time. Has it not been announced yet?"
Noah nodded. "Later, the teacher will announce the three essays with the highest overall rankings, and decide whether to read them in public based on the students' wishes."
After a pause, she blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Leon seriously, "Dad."
Leon didn't know why his daughter suddenly became so serious, "Well, what's wrong?"
"If I get the top three, I want to... read my composition, is that okay?"
Leon was stunned, as if he had not expected that Noa would choose to read his composition while respecting the student's wishes.
Although she is a very competitive child, she doesn't like to show off or overdo it.
However, Noah has always had her own ideas and considerations, and Leon has always respected her choices.
So Leon nodded and replied, “No problem, if there is really an opportunity to read the composition, Dad and Mom will definitely listen carefully.”
"Uh-huh!"
Then she turned to look at Rossweisse.
Since her daughter wanted to read, Rossweisse naturally had no objection.
But the couple discovered a small detail that was a little different from usual.
That is, this time Noa asked Leon first, and after getting Leon's answer, she went to seek Rossweisse's opinion.
She always listens to her mother's ideas first.
Was it... an accidental change of order? Or was there some other reason?
Well, it was just a harmless detail. Although Leon and Rossweisse usually liked to compete with each other over their daughter, there was really no need to argue about “who to ask first”.
With less than twenty minutes left before the small ceremony began, parents began to arrive one after another.
A family of three was talking in low voices when they suddenly heard a familiar name at the classroom door.
"Lar, do you have confidence in this competition?"
"Yes, Dad."
"That's good. Although Dad hasn't read your composition, Dad believes that you will definitely get a good grade. When the time comes, you must read it out loud in front of your classmates. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Dad. After reading my composition, the teacher said that I wrote about fatherly love very sincerely."
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my son. I will reward you with a big meal when I get back."
As he spoke, Lal and his father strode into the classroom.
Because Leon and his family of three were sitting in the first row, the two men saw them as soon as they came in.
Lal's father paused and recognized Leon at a glance.
The moment he made eye contact with this guy who didn't want to show his tail, for some reason, Lal's father's knees started to ache...
He pursed his lips, snorted, took Lal's hand and went to the back seat.
Leon glanced at him and immediately asked, "That unfortunate kid wrote a good essay?"
Noah nodded. "Although he is not good at fighting, his academic performance is still good."
"It doesn't matter. My daughter must be better than him." Leon touched Noa's little head.
Noa smiled and waited quietly for the small ceremony to begin.

Twenty minutes later, all the little dragons and their parents arrived.
The head teacher also walked up to the podium, smiling and nodding slightly.
"Thank you all parents for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend our class essay competition award ceremony."
After the opening remarks, the head teacher went straight to the point.
"The essays submitted by the students this time have their own merits. Each student has his or her own unique views on "family", which is very good."
"I have written detailed comments on each essay that students submit, and you can take it back and read it yourself after the award ceremony."
"Well, now, I have three essays with the highest overall scores. I will announce their authors one by one and decide whether to read them out in front of everyone according to their wishes."
After a brief explanation of the process of the small ceremony, the families below the stage began to whisper among themselves, and everyone wanted to know whether their children would be among the top three.
However, according to the class teacher's approach, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't make it into the top three. He can learn from her comments at the end of the composition and improve his own child's writing skills.
"Okay, now, let me announce the third place in this essay competition. The third place in Young Dragon Class 1 is...Kelly, congratulations~"
The head teacher led the applause, and the children and parents in the class also followed suit.
"Well, Kelly, would you like to read this composition aloud?" the head teacher asked softly.
The little dragon named Kelly stood up. She had a simple ponytail and wore a pair of round glasses. Next to her was her mother, who held her daughter's hand as if to encourage her.
Kelly's other hand was nervously pinching the hem of her skirt. After a little hesitation, she shook her head shyly and whispered, "No, teacher."
When Kelly's mother saw this, she just smiled with relief, without any intention of blaming Kelly for being too introverted.
The head teacher also smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Well, okay, everyone, although Kelly is usually a bit introverted and quiet, her composition is full of love for her mother. Come on, Kelly, take your composition back."
Kelly took small steps to the podium and took her composition with both hands, "Thank you, teacher."
The head teacher rubbed her little head.
Kelly hugged the composition to her chest and returned to her seat.
"Then the second place winner of this essay competition is... "
There are still two spots left, and Leon and his family of three can't help but get excited.
They stared at the head teacher's mouth, but judging from the shape of his mouth, the first character of this classmate's name should not be "Nuo".
"Congratulations, Rand~"
Another round of applause.
Rand was a relatively cheerful young dragon. He walked up to the podium and read his article with great emotion.
Leon clapped his hands under the podium and said worriedly, "There's only one left..."
He turned his head to look at his daughter beside him. Noa also looked very nervous, with her little fists clenched tightly.
Leon thought about it, then reached out and gently covered the back of his daughter's hand.
He didn't say anything, but Noah's clenched fists immediately relaxed a lot.
"Then, let's talk about the first place winner of this essay contest. She is——"
The head teacher drew out the last syllable of the sentence, and the whole audience waited with bated breath.
Especially Lal's father, he seemed to want to pry open the teacher's mouth and make her say the name.
"Lal! Congratulations to classmate Lal!"
Before the head teacher could continue to ask Lal if he wanted to read his composition aloud, Lal's father stood up from his seat and couldn't wait to show off.
"Thank you, teacher. Thank you, teacher. You have made a great contribution to Lal's winning the first place. However, the theme of this composition is about family and affection after all. I also helped Lal a lot in this process."
Listening to Lal's father bragging about himself, Leon felt mixed emotions.
Didn't expect that the love between parents who took an unconventional approach would not stand out...
It's indeed a bit...unexpected.
But I'd better wait until I'm alone to slowly digest the loss.
Leon turned to comfort his daughter.
"It's okay, Noah. We'll look at the comments the teacher gave you later. Correct the bad parts and make more use of the good parts."
Rossweisse also held her daughter's hand and said, "Maybe mom and dad didn't perform well on the date that day. Let's work hard together and try to get a good result next time."
Although Noah could not hide her frustration, she was still a sensible child after all. She knew that her parents had put a lot of effort into her composition, so she nodded and said, "Mom, you and Dad have done a good job, don't say that."
Rossweisse smiled and patted her head.
At this time, Lal's father was still there feeling proud.
The head teacher had to interrupt him, "Dad Lal, do you want to read Lal's composition now?"
"Read! Of course! Lal, go and read to your classmates." Lal's father is very confident in his child's work. How can he not be confident when the child wins first place?
Lal nodded uprightly, stood up, walked to the podium, picked up his composition and began to read aloud.
Lal: "The title is, 'Father's Love is Silent'."
Lal's father: "See, the title alone is very profound, isn't it?"
The parents nearby could only politely agree, “Yes, yes, yes.”
"My father is a duke of the Red Flame Dragon Clan. He usually doesn't have time to play games with me or teach me."
"But I know that my father is busy with work. He actually loves me very much, but he is not good at expressing it."
Lal was reading his composition on the stage, while Lal's father was sitting below, listening with great interest.
Almost every sentence needs to be commented on and praised.
After reading the middle part, it’s time to move on to the theme “Father’s Silent Love”.
"I remember one time when I got into trouble at school. When I got home, I thought my father would scold me, but he didn't. The next day, I asked my father to teach me some simple magic as usual, but my father looked a little strange."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Lal's father's face froze, as if he realized something.
"Dad didn't reject me and started to teach me how to use the small dragon flame. But before long, Dad was sweating profusely and couldn't even stand steadily."
"I only found out about this afterwards. Dad actually injured his knee during those days."
"I asked him how he got hurt. He said he accidentally hit a hard rock while hunting, and he would be fine after two days of rest."
"But at that time, in order not to make me worry and to let me study magic well, Dad chose to remain silent and forbearing."
“This is the silent fatherly love!”
Leon sat down and listened, and his originally depressed mood suddenly improved a little.
