Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 619 - 008 News

During his many years of teaching, old Siran not only taught students but also used his spare time during cultivation to research some theories related to magic.

However, being in an ancient and feudal country, where would these studies receive any attention?

Only old Siran's teacher back then, recognizing Siran's talent, helped him become a teacher at the Noble Academy. Unfortunately, those lofty nobles weren't interested in the principles of magic operation or interference theories. After old Siran's teacher passed away, his work attracted little attention, leading to an unremarkable life.

But the Blue Dragon Kingdom is different.

Among the upper ranks of the beastmen, there's a large group of low-quality "transmigrators" enlightened by Austin using secret techniques, who understand the principle that science is the first productive force and instinctively pursue the development of scientific technology.

Some fundamental magic research, akin to the foundational physics studies from Austin's previous life on Earth, might seldom yield immediate benefits in product applications at present, but these insights into the roots of world power are crucial drivers for the advancement of civilization.

Because of this, old Siran received an official government reward of ten thousand Gold Yuan after submitting his research on Wind Attribute Magic Power interference theory and some Wind Element models.

Though, old Siran's work indeed aligned well with the policy direction of the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

For the assessment of a Magic Research Fellow, the initial review typically lasts more than three months, so during this period, old Siran mostly stayed in the purchased courtyard waiting for news.

While old Siran was waiting, his son, Smith Siran, started looking for a job since he had nothing else to do.

Previously, in Lunbabi Imperial Capital, old Siran had no connections, relying on a student's introduction to work in a shop as an employed assistant. Later, after offending a big figure in Lunbabi and the king, the student's family also dismissed Smith, leaving him unemployed before coming to the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

One day, as Smith was about to apply for a cashier position at a department store, old Siran saw a notice in a government-published newspaper called the People's Daily regarding the recruitment of primary and secondary school teachers.

The newspaper is also a unique product of the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

Printed every three days, composed of text and images describing events from yesterday or today, it is one of the greatest avenues for broadening the public's horizons and increasing knowledge in the Blue Dragon Kingdom.

After discovering this fresh thing that did not exist in Lunbabi before and personally reading several issues, old Siran's family subscribed to every issue, especially the most widely circulated official newspaper, the People's Daily.

As a publication by the Blue Dragon Kingdom's government, with the largest circulation, the People's Daily has always been the official mouthpiece. Besides dedicating the entire front page to praise the historically greatest accomplishments of His Highness Blue Dragon Austin, it also frequently covers the execution of kingdom policies, the dissemination of various knowledge, and the dynamics within the kingdom or across the Central Earth Continent, along with some entertaining content unparalleled by other newspapers.

Furthermore, as a wind vane of kingdom policies, it discloses various policies with unprecedented transparency among the many human countries on the Central Earth Continent, posing questions to people like old Siran who've just come from the "civilized" world of Central Earth humans.

The murky issues in those countries still in the Middle World feudal society, where nobles are the law, arbitrarily seizing property, and rampant corruption at the bottom level, needn't be mentioned...

The People's Daily's various policy information is particularly useful for integrating high-end outsiders into the native population.

Upon seeing the notice on the newspaper, old Siran asked Smith to investigate if possible and perhaps try and apply. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Whatever the case may be, as old Siran's son, Smith, despite not having been a teacher, has some teaching skills from his father's household education to deal with those primary and secondary students, which would suffice.

Having worked as an assistant in Lunbabi for so many years, Smith naturally is not a worthless person. Although his confidence was not high, he agreed to his father's suggestion and found the urban primary and secondary school's location.

After reporting to security, he entered the human resources center, where many applicants were already queued.

He went through several procedures, including written tests and interviews, and then the interviewer asked him to wait for notification.

While waiting for the notification during those days, Smith was anxious and unfocused, losing interest in his original plan to apply for the cashier position at the department store, focusing solely on awaiting the result.

No matter what, the teaching profession is a respectable occupation.

Being able to transition from a low-level assistant to a position within the government, particularly within the cultural realm, is a tremendous opportunity.

Several days later, amidst Smith's anxious anticipation, the news arrived.

He was accepted.

He was elated beyond words at that moment.

On the same day, he reported to the school, where an old Turtle-man teacher guided him through familiarizing with various teaching procedures, then let him go home to prepare for his start in three days.

Now, Smith has been employed for over two months.

Smith is extremely excited, maintaining a proactive work attitude every day.

Previously, in Lunbabi, being an assistant was not only exhausting with low pay and frequent scoldings, but now, as part of the government workers, he couldn't be happier.

Currently, in the Blue Dragon Kingdom, they're conducting general education for school-age primary and secondary students, allowing parents to send their children to school if they wish.

Although various subjects in school are free, half of the short-sighted individuals are reluctant to send their children to school, preferring them to help at home or earn money, especially among beastmen families, still, many families are willing to send their children to school for learning.

Of course, it's best if some are unwilling.

After all, the Blue Dragon Kingdom is still relatively young, with school facilities incomplete and a significant teacher shortage, making it impossible to implement nationwide education.

Yet even with those sent to school, the numbers are staggering; thus, as a primary and secondary school teacher, Smith's teaching workload has become extraordinarily heavy, resulting in long days from dawn till dusk.

Smith has essentially taken the school as another home.

And when officials come down for inspections, the work becomes even more demanding, forcing him to rough it out in the school dormitories for a few days to save time.
