Borrowing from the character Rossweisse arranged for him and combining it with his own real experience, Leon narrated the story vividly.
"I still remember when I led the team to carry out the mission. Although everyone was no rookie, it was my first time to serve as the captain."
"I am responsible for all actions of the team. To be honest, this burden is a bit heavy. I am worried that a wrong decision of mine may lead to injuries or even...death of the team members."
"So I was very cautious in all kinds of games, not daring to show my cards, and I had no confidence in the command skills I had learned."
"I thought this conservative tactic could last until the mission was over, but unfortunately..."
Having said this, Leon paused for a moment.
And Noah's interest was also piqued. She always liked listening to Leon talk about his past.
"What a pity?" Noa tilted her head slightly.
Leon smiled bitterly, rubbed the tip of his nose, and continued,
"It's a pity that we were forced into a desperate situation by the other party when the mission was about to end."
"The reason for this is that I was too cautious in making decisions, and the other party caught on to this habit, so I fell into their trap."
Noah's pupils trembled slightly, and she said, "But Dad, you survived in the end, didn't you?"
"Ah."
"how did you do it?"
"There was a gunner in our team at the time - ah, a girl who was good at ranged magic. She slapped me in the face when I was feeling sorry for myself because of my wrong decision that led to everyone falling into a trap."
At this point, Leon couldn't help laughing again. He seldom recalled the dark history of the past.
If he hadn't wanted to help his precious daughter overcome her mental hurdle, he wouldn't have said so much.
"She told me, 'You became the captain not because of orders from above, but because everyone trusts you, respects you, and has absolute confidence in your ability, so they dare to put their lives in your hands.'"
"'But you act like a conservative country woman all day long, not daring to do this or that. If you go to the park and play chess with an old man, the old man will think you are a coward.'"
"I asked her if she regretted letting me be the captain."
"She said no, but if you don't stand up and continue to boss us around, you'll only get my second slap."
"At that moment I realized that when you become the leader of a team, you and your teammates are a whole. They are your left and right arms, and all you have to do is give them orders as if they were your own body."
"Since everyone has acknowledged you, it means that everyone will also share with you any consequences of your decision."
As he spoke, Leon slowly stood up and gently placed his hand on Noah's head.
"Just like your mother, she didn't gain everyone's recognition until she became the Silver Dragon Queen, but she finally sat on the throne after gaining everyone's recognition."
"Mom and Dad have both come this far step by step, Noah, so Dad understands how you feel now."
"Dad doesn't ask you to overcome your inner difficulties immediately, but please remember one thing -"
He stood up slowly, and a few more people came out from behind him.
Noah looked over, "Mom...everyone..."
"We believe in your abilities. No matter what the outcome, you don't have to face it alone."
As soon as the voice fell, the host's voice came from the stage.
"Then the next show is "As Love Sinks" directed by Noa K. Melkvi. Welcome everyone~"
Although Noa herself may not know this, the name 'Noa' often represents the word "invincible" in the entire young dragon tribe, and her national popularity is even at the level of a household name.
When the audience heard this title, they clapped even harder.
Rossweisse walked towards the stage with Moon.
Leon followed closely behind.
As he passed by his eldest daughter, he raised his hand and patted Noah's shoulder.
"Did you hear those applause, Noah? They were all for you."

After the stage props were set up, Leon and his companions also took their positions one after another.
The first scene was just as it was rehearsed, with Rossweisse sending Moon away to talk to the "captured" Leon alone.
After the classic "Tail Locking the Throat" and "Handsome, Manly, Scarred" were performed, the school leaders and judges in the audience also discussed in low voices.
"The young actor's acting is good, very precise and realistic."
"The heroine's expression and tone are also on point, especially the pauses when reciting the lines. She really has the demeanor of a cold and proud princess - or even a queen."
"Do you think it's possible that she is the queen?"
"Why is no one discussing the actor's acting skills? Didn't you see his superb skills in portraying the unyielding yet helpless state of a defeated prisoner?"
"Yes, I saw it. The acting is very good."
“It doesn’t seem like acting at all.”
Listening to the judges' praise for the model families' performances, Vice Principal Wilson, who was sitting in the center left of the judges' seats, stroked his white beard with satisfaction.
He turned slightly to the side and whispered in the ear of Angelina Olette, the headmaster, "Well, headmaster, I told you that the Melkvi family would definitely impress us."
Principal Olette nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
The performance of the Leons did surprise Olette.
I still remember that their first meeting was in her principal's office, and Veronica entrusted her to hand over the Original Crystal to Rossweisse as a wedding gift.
At that time, the couple left a very good impression on Olette. They were humble and polite, and knew the skills and propriety of conversation. They made people feel their sincerity but did not open their hearts too much, leaving themselves some room for maneuver.
They are a shrewd couple, which is the label that Principal Ouellet gave them.
And now, watching the vivid and lifelike acting, Olette has reason to believe that they are not only a smart couple, but also a loving and tacit couple.
Olette always heard Vice Principal Wilson talk about how loving and perfect they were, but she didn't quite believe it.
After today's practical performance, she believed it.
"Has everything been recorded on the photo stone?" asked Principal Ouellet.
"The whole process was recorded," Wilson said proudly.
The principal smiled faintly.
Very good. I will give the images recorded by the photo stone to Veronica later.
Let the old lady be happy too and see what a well-matched couple her granddaughter and grandson-in-law are.
On the stage, the first act has ended.
In the second act, the elf played by Xiaoguang appears and guides the captured male protagonist to escape from prison. After going through untold hardships, he finally returns to his hometown.
However, just as he was about to enter the territory of his own country, the male protagonist met the princess who had been chasing him all the way.
He thought he would be stopped by the princess, but he never expected that the princess, who had fallen in love with him, came to say goodbye to him.
The two of them stayed together for a long time, and after much talking, they still did not admit their feelings for each other.
The pink-haired elf next to him was so anxious.
She was anxious during rehearsals;
Now that the official performance is about to begin, I’m still anxious.
But her elder sister told her that this matter could not be rushed.
Otherwise, they could just bow out right after the second act. What else would be going on?
Well, the director is the boss, so just listen to him.
Finally, the two affectionate people said goodbye.
Xiaoguang waved the magic wand prop in his hand,
"Well, brave knight, I have read the fable. You and the princess will meet again in the future. Now hurry back to your hometown, regroup, and face greater challenges~"
As Xiaoguang waved the magic wand prop, the second act ended.
The performance in the second act also won applause from the audience.
The judges also continued to analyze the actors' performances.
"If the first act lays the foundation for the character's personality and gives everyone a clear impression of the character, then the second act breaks this impression with a reasonable plot and makes the character more full."
"Yes, the plot is well-written through the emotional changes of the characters, and it doesn't seem too abrupt. I have to say that the screenwriters of this group are very good."
"The screenwriter's skills are indeed good, but I think the director also deserves credit for connecting the two acts so smoothly. After all, the drama is ultimately to be performed, and this is a great test of the director's ability."
"Hmm... makes sense. What did the host just say was the name of the director of this play?"
"Noa, Noa K. Melkvi, the youngest of the young dragon tribe, but the one who always tops the list."
"Oh? I usually coach the drama troupe in Sky City, and was invited to the academy to serve as a judge for this competition. I didn't expect that your academy would have such a talented student."
"Teacher, don't even think about trying to steal Noa's talent. Being a director is just one of her talents. She will become the best dragon warrior in the future."
“Hahahaha~ My thoughts were seen through in an instant~”
The judges spoke highly of these two scenes.
Then comes the third act where the conflict is most intense:
The rivalry between Leon and Claudia.
In this scene, Noa plays a maid next to Claudia.
After a series of cutscenes, movements, and foreshadowing, Noah watched her father stand in front of Aunt Claudia.
I saw my father bowed his head and said respectfully,
"Mother."
Hearing this, Noah secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Good job, Dad. You finally successfully called out the words "Mother" that you didn't want to call out!
The two recited a few more lines, and due to the length of the play, a conflict soon broke out.
"You said you wanted to go back to find that woman?! Impossible! I will never allow you to do such a thing!"
Claudia is so majestic and convincing, it's like...
Leon was really her son, and she really wouldn't allow him to fall in love with a princess from an enemy country.
No matter how many times Noah sees this performance, she will always admire it from the bottom of her heart.
I thought my parents were gifted in acting, but I never expected that Aunt Claudia was also an expert.
And Leon had the same idea as Noah before.
Until the last time Claudia told him and Rossweisse that their sea dragon tribe actually did not agree with the marriage between her sister and brother-in-law.
At that time, General Lai suddenly realized:
It turns out that he and Rossweisse are not the only ones who believe that "life is like a play, and everything depends on memories".
Alas, every family has its own problems, Leon sighed in his heart.
"Mother, please let me go see her!"
"I said, no, no. If you must see her, well, take off your armor, take off your armband, and strip off all your honors with your own hands, and then you can go see her."
"...Okay, okay! Mother, this is what you said!"
Leon took off his armor and other props.
"Mother, are you satisfied now?"
"You...you actually gave up all that for that woman! Is it worth it?!"
"It's worth it. For her, everything is worth it."
"Okay...Okay...Someone come! Drive him out of the country until he figures it out and comes back!"
After several rounds of dialogue, Noah was so excited watching from the side.
There is no need to say much about the old man, that rebellious and desperate middle school temperament is tailor-made for him;
Aunt Claudia performed the emotional changes in these conversations very naturally.
The transition from surprise, to anger, and finally to helplessness was very smooth.
