Shut Up Dragon! I Don't Want To Have Children With You Anymore

"Where exactly is the problem..."

"What is the reason for the exhaustion of magic power..."

"I can normally gather weak magic power, there's no problem with the magic circuits, both physical strength and mental strength are at normal levels, and there's no external force sealing me. The side effects of the Blood Charm are only fainting, which doesn't involve magic power at all."

"Tsk—I've thought of all possibilities, but still haven't found the reason."

"Could it be that the direction of my research is wrong..."

As the thoughts deepened, the atmosphere in the library gradually became somewhat oppressive. Leon raised his hand, wanting to loosen the collar of his clothes.

Just as his palm touched his chest, his movements suddenly stiffened.

Instantly, a brand new idea flashed into his head.

———

Since discovering his magic power was exhausted, Leon had always focused his research direction on "how to restore magic power."

That is to say, throughout the process of solving this problem, he always assumed he was "unable to gather magic power."

Actually, it's not the case.

Physical strength, mental strength, and magic circuits are all fine, which means Leon can normally gather magical energy.

And this magical energy should theoretically be more than enough for him to freely use various large-scale thunder magic.

But the fact is, every time he gathers it, he can only use some playful magic, just like playing house.

Even using thunder light to form a birthday greeting in the night sky requires the cooperation of a magic array.

This phenomenon might not be due to Leon himself, but... something is quietly stealing his magic power.

So, let's recall, what "things" have been added to his body since becoming Rossweise's captive?

That's right.

The dragon mark.

Leon had never considered the dragon mark in his thoughts before.

Because in his cognition, this thing is just an auxiliary magic used by dragon couples to maintain loyalty and add fun.

After awakening, Rossweise used the meaning and function of the dragon mark to bind Leon, making him never able to escape from her.

Only when they are competing for the "dominance" does the dragon mark play its role.

As for other times, it quietly hides on the chests of the couple, without any impact on daily life.

But after Leon tried all possibilities and ideas without success, he could only place his final and only research direction on the dragon mark.

Rossweise should not be very familiar with this thing either.

Where would a 200-year-old dragon who has never been in love understand something like the dragon mark?

When dragons seek revenge, they are not very rational. She probably used all the means she could think of to torture Leon at that time, without considering whether she understood the dragon mark or how proficient she was in using it.

Moreover, if she knew the dragon mark would steal Leon's magic power, she would have already taken the opportunity to tease Leon.

Such as,"No wonder you are so fierce, it turns out you've injected all your magic power into the dragon mark."

Just thinking about the mother dragon saying this makes Leon's whole body tingle.

Shaking his head, he withdrew his thoughts.

After Leon re-selected his research direction, he quickly made a completely different hypothesis from before.

His magic power is not exhausted, nor is he unable to gather magic power, but the gathered magic power is being absorbed by the dragon mark without his knowledge.

Then, he can start trying to verify this conjecture.

Leon glanced at Luna.

The precious daughter is still there, doing her homework seriously.

Leon withdrew his gaze, walked to the bathroom in the library, and locked the door after entering.

He came to the mirror in front of the sink, opened his collar, and revealed the dragon mark on his chest.

The dragon mark is silver-white in its normal state, turns light purple when "missing" the other, and becomes deep purple when the couple is in union.

The little dragon mark is still burning hot.

"If it's really the dragon mark that's quietly stealing my magic power... then—"

Leon tried to gather magical energy, and blue light arcs jumped and flickered in his palm.

He closed his eyes, quietly feeling the flow of magic power in his magic circuits.

Palm, arm, shoulder, and finally... chest.

Leon slowly opened his eyes, looking at the electric light jumping at the dragon mark on his chest, frowning slightly,

"Sure enough, a part of the magic power flowed into the dragon mark completely out of my control... but..."

Leon found something strange.

Just now, a part of the magic power did flow into the dragon mark.

But according to the total amount of magic power he gathered, the magic power flowing into the dragon mark didn't account for much.

If the magic power Leon just gathered is compared to 10, then he can use 2 for magic, and 2 also flowed into the dragon mark.

So where did the remaining more than half of the magic power go?

Leon's fingers dug into his hair, and his brain started to work frantically.

This line of thought is correct, his magic power is indeed being stolen by something in his body.

But this so-called "thing" is not the dragon mark.

Or rather, the dragon mark is just one of them, an insignificant "accomplice."

As for the main culprit stealing his magic power, there is someone else.

"What is it..."

Leon crossed his arms, pacing back and forth in front of the sink.

He carefully recalled every detail after waking up.

But except for the dragon mark, there is nothing new on his body.

And the magical energy he just gathered did indeed flow uncontrollably into his chest.

What details has Leon overlooked?

.

.

.

After a brief period of anxiety, Leon regained his composure.

He propped his hands on the sink, looked at himself in the mirror, and began to calmly think again.

"The dragon mark does absorb a part of the magic power, but this part is so small that it can be ignored."

"And if the dragon mark really had a big impact on magical energy, Rossweise would have already removed it, it couldn't have stayed until now."

"Then, it's almost certain now that my magic power is not exhausted, but is being secretly eroded by something in my body that I don't know about."

"But... since it's in my body, why, apart from being unable to use magic, do I have no other adverse reactions after it has absorbed so much of my magic power?"

"Moreover, what is the purpose of that thing absorbing magic power? Is it beneficial or... harmful to me?"

Questions piled up like a hill in front of Leon, making him somewhat tired of thinking.

He sighed tiredly, grabbed his hair, turned and leaned against the edge of the sink, bowed his head, frowned, and hugged his chest in thought.

On one hand, he didn't want his master to think he had become weaker in the past two years, on the other hand, his daughter's winter vacation was approaching, and he had already promised to teach her more magic.

Leon must quickly find a way to solve the problem.

He closed his eyes, raised his hand to gently rub his brow, thought for a while, and came up with another idea to get through this.

If he can't solve the problems listed just now head-on, then why not... bypass them?

Leon suddenly raised his head, turned to look at the dragon mark in the mirror.

"That 'thief' stealing my magic power will steal most of the magic power flowing through my magic circuits, which leads to me being unable to store magic power in my magic circuits, and finally creates the illusion of magic power exhaustion."

After magic enlightenment, any magic user can store the magic power they have refined in their magic circuits through "circulation," so that when they want to use magic, they don't have to refine it on the spot, which is more efficient.

But in Leon's current situation, as long as there is a little bit of magic power in his magic circuits, it will be stolen by that 'thief,' and then split with his 'underling' the dragon mark—

'Good!'

'This is the key point!'

"If I can't find that thief, can't I find the dragon mark?"

Leon poked his chest,"You've been on me for so long, besides handing in homework to Rossweise, you should also play some other role."

Dragon mark: 'Meow! Meow?'

———

Soon it was the day for Luna to awaken her elemental attribute.

The couple had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

High emotional intelligence: This day will determine Luna's future growth path.

Low emotional intelligence: Whether she takes after her father or her mother, it's all up to today.

Knowing that today is the day of awakening, the couple started competing as soon as they met in the morning.

"Good morning, the weather is really nice.",Leon greeted warmly.

Rossweise glanced at him, teasing,"You actually took the initiative to greet me, it seems you're in a good mood."

"Of course, because Luna is about to awaken the same magic element as her father, of course I'm in a good mood."

Rossweise crossed her arms, snorted coldly,"Luna will definitely awaken the fire element, the dragon genes are far stronger than you think."

Leon shrugged indifferently,"If your dragon genes are so strong, why is Noah a thunder element?"

"It's just a matter of probability."

"Hmph, when you see the thunder element symbol light up in Luna's awakening array later, I'll see if your mouth is still as hard as it is now."

"We'll see."

The couple walked side by side through the corridor, one with hands folded, the other with hands in pockets, seemingly very close and intimate, but in fact, they just didn't want others to hear what they were arguing about.

Leon insisted that Luna would awaken the thunder element like Noah.

If that were the case, then both daughters being so much like their father would undoubtedly be the most heart-wrenching episode for the mother dragon.

'See, your powerful dragon genes are nothing in front of me, the strongest dragon slayer.'

And Rossweise believed that relying on the powerful dragon genes, the little daughter would definitely awaken the most classic fire element.

'How could a mere human defeat the dragon's bloodline?'

'It's just a stroke of luck, Leon Casmodeous, you can't always be lucky.'

The couple argued all the way to the backyard practice field.

Anna and others were preparing the awakening array to be used later.

The awakening array is used to detect Luna's elemental attribute, which contains various elements from this magical continent. As long as Luna awakens one of them, the corresponding element symbol will appear above the array.

And today's little protagonist is nervously and excitedly looking forward to it.

"Luna, over here!"

Leon waved to his precious daughter.

Hearing the voice, the little dragon girl immediately looked up towards Leon and Rossweise, then jumped off the bench and ran over.

"Mommy, Daddy~"

She stood in front of the couple,"Luna is about to awaken her elemental attribute~"

Leon squatted down, encouragingly and dotingly patted her little head,"Don't be nervous, relax, just do as Daddy taught you."

"Okay, I know, Daddy."

Luna looked up at Rossweise again,"Mommy, you will keep watching Luna later, right?"
