The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Atilan's skin was so thick that Hana couldn't persuade him with just a few words.

He even questioned Hana in return.

"You're already spending so much time and energy as the Dean of Education. You still want to be the principal, delaying your cultivation? Your parents would drag me out and beat me up to vent their anger!"

Hana waved her hand dismissively.

"I'm already an adult and can decide my own future. Besides, my parents are probably busy trying for a second child right now and don't have time to worry about me."

A second child?

"Didn't they say they were planning to learn from my master, condense divinity to advance to a natural demigod, and then have a child naturally carrying divinity, a divine child?"

A wisp of purple flame, dotted with silver stars, appeared on Hana's slender finger.

"Who knows? It seems my dad has delved too deeply into death magic and needs to have a child to nurture some vitality to balance it out."

The corners of Atilan's mouth twitched.

"I've only ever heard of cultivating divine life through childbirth; this is the first time someone has told me that childbirth can also nurture death divinity."

The flame danced between Hana's fingers, lively as if it had a life of its own.

"You're playing with starlight flames quite well. Do you want to try being a Starlight Mage?"

The Death Angel path initially planned for Hana only concerned her life form and didn't restrict her profession.

Hana shook her head, blew on the flame, and the flame transformed into a purple phoenix, adorned with dazzling silver tail feathers, landing on Hana's shoulder.

"I'm a Starlight Druid. When I perfect the professional system, and take in a few apprentices at the school, I can be considered a master who created a new school of thought!"

Atilan looked at her with amusement.

"I heard from your master that the Fairy School recently had a Great Druid advance to Legend. After succeeding, they declared they wanted to establish a Moon School."

"They're researching how to use moonlight magic for cultivation. How about I arrange for you to study under this master for two years?"

"During this time, I'll be responsible for managing the school."

Hana looked Atilan up and down in surprise.

"Have you been bewitched by some Legendary Mind Mage? You've actually changed your nature and are willing to take on the complicated and trivial affairs of the school."

Since the school was established, Atilan has always talked more than he acted.

At the time, his excuse was that dragons were too large, unlike the Eagle King and others, who were more convenient for managing students and grading homework.

Later, even after he gained a dragon-human form, he rarely showed his face at the school.

At most, he would summon the school's top students to give them a baptism of life rain, enhancing their physique and eliminating fatigue.

It was considered a reward without causing excessive jealousy among other students.

Because during the school's twice-yearly celebrations, every student was entitled to drink a cup of Everspring Wine.

Allowing the children to grow better physically and mentally, contributing to the development of all aspects of Atlantis after graduation, adding bricks and tiles.

Such as the western construction.

The New Green Forest was certainly the foundation laid by the old druids.

But the forest created by the old druids was only a few hundred square kilometers in size.

Now, the forest has an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, thanks to the contributions of Jiu Nu leading this group of young natural fighters.

They didn't intend to transform themselves into plant spirits or elemental life to continue adding bricks and tiles to the druid cause.

The main transformation ritual is quite a test of the talent of the druid participating in the transformation.

If the natural cultivation level is not up to standard, performing the transformation ritual will not only prolong life but may even reduce cultivation talent by 70-80%.

After all, it is a product of transformation, and its affinity with nature is not as good as that of a natural one.

An ordinary druid's transformation is not like Vine Woman's, who can freely transform between spirit, plant, and human forms.

Vine Woman's legendary form is still a flower-vine treant.

As for the envisioned use of highly pure fairy magic, almost fairy spiritual power, for sublimation, giving birth to the flower goddess, this spirit form.

It already has a prototype.

But when the project can be launched depends on luck.

The Bearman brought back half of a natural sacred object for Vine Woman, so her opportunity can be considered to have arrived.

The day the natural sacred object is re-nourished and blossoms is the day she sublimates into the flower goddess form and nurtures natural divinity.

After settling the Bearman, Vine Woman also returned to her cultivation place, the Fairy Garden.

Holding the flower stem, she infused natural magic and fairy magic to nourish the sacred object.

Being busy joking with Hana, Atilan almost forgot the real business.

"The forest may be invaded. Have the patrolling teachers act in pairs, and preferably bring a few outstanding graduates."

Hana frowned and took a report from the table, handing it to Atilan.

"I was just thinking about whether to transfer some excellent teachers, taking the excellent graduates who have served as teacher's assistants for a year, to your territory to open four primary vocational schools."

"Now you're telling me the forest is being invaded, so wouldn't I have to call back the personnel I've already sent out to set up the forest's defenses?"

The school is of utmost importance, and Hana absolutely won't allow the children in the school to be harmed.

"Primary schools? Does this mean this school also needs to be reformed?"

Hana immediately clapped her hands.

"As expected of the principal, you guessed it!"

Atilan really wanted to throw the document back on Hana's desk.

What reform? He, the principal, doesn't even know about it! Doesn't she respect him at all!

"Why reform?"

"The current school can't meet the advanced study needs of the graduates from the past few years, and this school can't continue to expand, otherwise, it will affect the stability of the forest's natural magic network."

"Moreover, the teachers who stay here are all elites. Having them teach the basics is simply a waste of talent. Therefore, I plan to set up primary schools with a four-year system to teach basic vocational knowledge."

"And this group of schools will be responsible for six years of intermediate vocational knowledge education and the final four years of advanced knowledge education, mainly to help those professionals above level 5."

"To increase their chances of breaking through level 10."

Atilan focused on the advanced college section.

In his understanding, these three colleges represent elementary school, high school, and graduate school, respectively.

As for the knowledge of junior high school and university, it falls into the category of self-study.

"If they are only acting as clerks, the grammar knowledge in the four years of basic education is already sufficient. The number of students the college can accommodate is limited."

"I think there should be a threshold. Letting people come in to study casually is just wasting the forest's resources."

Although Hana's words were somewhat cold, they were indeed reasonable.

Atilan pursed his lips, nodding as he looked at the document.

"I've already had people set up adventurer guilds in the kingdom's towns. The knowledge gaps in your education system will be taught to them by the adventurer guilds."

It's good to let them practice while learning.

Their adventures will allow the kingdom to recoup the cost of training them.

Atilan calculated that he should still be able to make a small profit.

Atlantis doesn't support idlers. In recent years, many magical beasts twisted by death magic have been born in the southwestern Great Wilderness. The desert has become a wasteland, and life has increased.

It has also increased the risks of traveling in this land.

The second generation that has grown up in recent years, even the Minotaurs and Centaurs, have shown a downward trend in combat power.

Without specialized professional training, the knowledge they gleaned from their fathers, who had been soldiers, and the town militia instructors would hardly be enough to win against the undead magical beasts.

In recent years, the barbarian tribes to the south had also come to their senses, and a vast empire had risen to the north, an existence they couldn't afford to provoke.

Either run away or submit.

Because Windrunner became the Ranger-Queen, the once unified High Elf kingdom split into two nations, with a buffer zone in between.

After the ranger forces retreated north, the barbarian tribes had a window to migrate eastward.

Even the new Mage-King disregarded the hatred between himself and the barbarians and werewolves.

Shamelessly recruiting a group of barbarians to form a new melee corps.

The aim was to arm this group of barbarians, who had been fighting against the rangers for years, to continue fighting against the rangers.

You have to admit, his move was indeed effective.

Without the barbarians as a good place to train troops, Attilan could only choose the undead magical beasts as opponents to train and gain experience.

However, the undead magical beasts had two shortcomings: first, the strength of a single magical beast was very high, making it difficult to kill and resulting in relatively high casualties.

Second, the number of undead magical beasts was too small, making the training effect poor.

He really needed an opponent suitable for training troops.

He couldn't possibly create a kind of war weapon and then fight himself, right?

That would be too crazy.

The Zerg would be a suitable opponent, but he didn't know where they were hiding and laying eggs now.

No, even in the material world, the Zerg would degenerate and weaken accordingly due to being separated from the influence of the N'Zoth's power.

But compared to the undead magical beasts, the Zerg were still more difficult opponents to deal with.

Once the number of Zerg increased, the damage to his current army, which was beginning to be filled with second-generation recruits, would be much stronger.

If it evolved into him personally taking the field, then it couldn't be considered training.

He had to issue a notice to all the towns and cities in Atlantis, instructing local officials to pay attention to the abnormal disappearance of large animals.

The Zerg could eliminate its energy fluctuations, but as long as it hunted, it would definitely leave traces!

Organizing the nation's most elite hunters would definitely find the whereabouts of the Zerg.

Since the Zerg could make the behavior of stalking the bear-men away, its intelligence would not be poor.

The possibility of staying in the forest was actually very low.

Attilan told Hana about the Zerg, and she came to the same conclusion.

The Zerg had already run away.

Staying in the forest, the Zerg had too high a chance of being eliminated.

The starlight flames in Hana's hand flickered constantly.

"Do you want me to find you a few outstanding hunter profession graduates to help you track down this Zerg?"

"No, even if the Zerg are weak, they are not something that a few students can deal with. I have the teachers patrolling in pairs, just in case someone is eaten without making a sound."

"I, in principle, agree with your reform of the three-level education system. You can boldly promote it, and if anything happens, let your messenger notify me."

Hana understood that the Zerg seemed to have given Attilan some bad associations.

The three-level education system could make the academy more stable and cultivate a large number of qualified soldiers.

Just send the students who graduated from the primary academy to the army for two years of training, and a qualified supplementary force would be born.

And maybe some staff officers could be trained.

Generals definitely wouldn't do.

In the extraordinary world, generals don't have to be smart, but they must be able to fight!

Children who can't get into the intermediate academy show that their talent is not good.

Hana knew as soon as she heard it that Attilan, the headmaster, didn't want to take any responsibility at all.

She had demon blood, how could she not hear Attilan's little thoughts?

"Headmaster, which of the teachers in the school do you think should stay in the school to teach, and which should be sent to the primary academy to teach?"

"Which senior druids should be selected as professors when there is a senior academy? Which teachers in the school can serve as teaching assistants? You are the headmaster, you have to decide all of these!"

"These are the teachers' information in the school. As for the situation of the seniors, you must be more familiar with it than I am, so I don't need to say it."

Attilan looked at the large stack of information that Hana took out from under the desk, and his scalp began to tingle.

Why did the Atlantis Kingdom have two prime ministers? And a bunch of ministers in charge of a single direction?

Wasn't it because Attilan didn't want to face these written reports.

The most important skill of the emperor is to employ people, not to do things.

The same is true for the headmaster.

It was necessary to promote Hana to vice-principal as soon as possible, and then find a suitable candidate to serve as the director of education.

She couldn't shoulder the work of these two academies and four schools any longer.

Decentralization! Decentralization is a must!

Attilan suddenly embarrassedly thought of something. From the beginning of the school's establishment, Hana had been the president of the student council.

It could be said that all the outstanding students were her confidants, and also Attilan's major concern.

This school was very important, whether Hana sincerely liked education or wanted to seize power through the school.

The director of education, or even the school, could no longer let her stay.

Otherwise, would the professionals trained in the future be Attilan's people or Hana's people?

"Hana, do you like education or do you like being the director of education?"

This question was very important.

Hana looked at Attilan, who suddenly became serious, and said lightly:

"Of course, I like educating people. The feeling of watching them grow little by little is really wonderful."

Attilan nodded.

"That's good, I'll ask someone to send you to study under Master Moonlight."

Hana snorted softly.

"My dad is a legendary druid, do I need you to ask someone?"

Attilan couldn't help but smile.

"You don't know, your dad, the old rascal, was recognized as unpopular, and your dad, can he bring himself to let his daughter go to study with a druid who is not as good as him?"

The family is not in this condition, why go out to study?

"Although this master was not bullied by your dad and the old rascal at the beginning, sometimes ignoring is actually more annoying than bullying."

Hana suddenly asked curiously:

"How did you get to know the natural druids of another world?"

Could Attilan tell her that he met this master leading his students to study when he was building roads in the Emerald Dream?

Master Moonlight was practicing in World 527, and it was said that he had once liked the Vine Woman, but he had no competitive advantage at all.

"Are you going or not?"

Hana frowned and asked:

"If I go, can you really handle things here?"

It wasn't that she thought Master Moonlight was so great, but mainly Hana wanted to experience the feeling of studying abroad in another world.

"Are you not worried about me handling things?"

Hana finally chose to study abroad, but it took half a year to completely hand over the work to Attilan.

Attilan was overwhelmed, and he didn't expect Hana's work to be so much.

As soon as Hana left, Attilan received bad news that the sixth-grade students who were doing practical activities in the far west of the desert were attacked by a group of yellow bugs.

If they hadn't happened to meet the Eagle King, none of the children would have survived.

Attilan slammed the table, it must be the Zerg, he didn't expect to run all the way out for thousands of kilometers to hide in the desert.

For half a year, he couldn't find any clues.

Now that they have appeared, it is probably because there is not enough food in the desert for this group of bugs to eat.
