Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

Imperial Dragon Gym.

In Xia Yu's office.

Tang Meng placed thick stacks of information on Xia Yu's table.

"Mr. Here’s the list of apprentices.”

"Well, within a week, I will announce the list." Xia Yu said this, paused, and then said: "Let's make an announcement. Let's say that the list of apprentices will be announced next week on Saturday."

"Next Saturday?" Tang Meng paused, glanced at the pile of information on the table, and said, "Master Xia, there are so many information on the table... you may not be able to read them all."

"It's okay, I've finished reading. Is this the list of everyone?" Xia Yu looked at Tang Meng and asked.

"Yes. Everyone's list." Seeing Xia Yu's confident look, Tang Meng could only nod his head, and then said: "Of these four stacks of information, the one on the left is for the paid apprentices. Now you need to personally The final quota has been determined. 120 people have to be selected. Just because the quota has not been determined, my phone has been busy recently."

"The second stack is for apprentices who have passed the written examination. The quotas for these apprentices have been determined. Through the unified recruitment examination, the top 60 will be selected."

"The third stack is the student information of the orphanage. You also need to decide the final quota. According to your plan, you need to confirm 20 people."

"The last stack...are the 8 places recommended by me, deputy director Zhao Zhigang, deputy director Hou Yong, and deputy director Li Wangchuan."

"Yes, I understand. Just put it on the table. I'll take a look first." Xia Yu nodded, and then said to Tang Meng: "When you go out, go to the other side and call Eve for me."

"it is good."

…………

"Crack!"

The door of the office was closed, and Xia Yu's eyes fell on the thick documents with a solemn expression.

Recruiting gym apprentices was his first big move after becoming the gym leader. Many people in the imperial capital were staring at him. Many gym leaders in the imperial capital were waiting to see Xia Yu make a joke.

So Xia Yu not only had to do this well, but also did it beautifully.

Xia Yu's eyes swept across the thick pile of information in front of him, and his eyes first fell on the leftmost pile of information.

The people who signed up are from very well-off families.

At first, Tang Meng set an annual registration fee of 25 yuan, but there were too many people who couldn't bear to sign up.

These family members even complained that the threshold of 25 per year was too low.

So much so that later Tang Meng had to increase the registration fee to 50 a year. This was only the most basic fee. The other fees added up to almost one million a year.

This is something that no one would dare to think about in other gyms, but even so, there are still countless people signing up.

Xia Yu picked up the first piece of information and read it.

Chen Wenbin......

The resume is very long.

I have written resumes from kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school to the first year of high school, a long and dense list.

This award, that award, just hearing the names are very high-end.

Xia Yu glanced at them. In Xia Yu's eyes, these awards were not important at all. They were all dispensable.

The most important thing about this group of high-priced students is their family background, and nothing else matters.

Xia Yu's gaze fell directly on the family background column.

Father...I don’t know him

Mother… I don’t know her.

Uncle Li Ruilin.

OK, passed.

The long string of words in front is far less important than the five words "uncle Li Ruilin".

…………

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Master Xia, are you looking for me?" Eve poked her head out from the crack in the door and looked at Xia Yu with a smile.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Eve missed Xia Yu a little, especially when she was sitting in the office doing nothing every day.

When Xia Yu is here, at least she can have something to do and won't be so bored.

"Sit down, please help me organize this information." Xia Yu pointed to the pile of information on the children in the orphanage.

"it is good."

…………

Xia Yu just sat in the office, flipping through the information on the table one by one.

From morning to night, Xia Yu's eyes were dazzled by reading, but in the end he only read less than half of it. At this speed, it would take at least two days for Xia Yu to read all the information.

…………

The time soon came to three days later.

After staying in the office for three consecutive days, Xia Yu finally read through all the student information and finalized the final list.

Of course, this list is just a first draft, and the final list will definitely change.

The closer it gets to the time when the list is announced, the more people come to the door.

In just three days, Xia Yu didn't know how many calls he received.

These people are also very knowledgeable and have found various connections to call Xia Yu, hoping that their juniors can join the dragon gym and start as apprentices.

Those who could refuse Xia Yu naturally refused. Those who could not refuse, Xia Yu could only modify the list. Because of this, Xia Yu's phone calls never stopped in the past few days.

…………

Clear skies and a gentle summer breeze.

Xia Yu, Tang Meng, Eve, and Zhao Zhigang took a car to the orphanage near the imperial capital.

High-priced apprenticeships are based on the student's background, while recruiting students is based on the student's talent.

As for the number of students in these orphanages, Xia Yu needs to check it in person. He has to see it in person before he can be reassured. He can't tell anything from the information alone.

Today, Xia Yu and his party went to Wangyou Orphanage, which is also one of the famous orphanages in the imperial capital.

…………

"Welcome...welcome." The director of the Wangyou Orphanage, surnamed Ma, is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He is thin, with gray hair on his temples and a slightly bald head: "Welcome Master Xia."

"Dean Ma." Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then said directly: "Time is tight, we have to rush to the next orphanage, so I won't say any polite words, let's go straight to the point and go see those children first. .”

"Okay, okay. The children are waiting in the yard." Dean Ma nodded and said, "Here, I will show you the way."

Walking along the slightly old orphanage, Xia Yu and his party soon arrived at the yard.

Dozens of young children stood together, holding small red flowers in their hands, wearing clean and tidy clothes, looking at Xia Yu and others with embarrassed expressions.

"Welcome Master Xia." Seeing everyone walking in, the children shouted loudly while waving the red flowers in their hands.

Looking at this scene, Xia Yu's face remained calm, but he felt extremely disgusted in his heart.

He didn't like formalism, especially when a child like this who didn't understand anything was allowed to do this, he was even more disgusted.

Xia Yu glanced at Dean Ma on the side, with a smile on his face, and said, "Dean Ma is interested."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yu turned around and lowered his voice and said to Eve: "Eve, it's the same thing, use your super power to detect these children."

"Yes." Eve nodded. Xia Yu had already discussed this with her before coming.

The first is to detect whether these children have super powers.

The second is to observe the emotions of these children.

In fact, there is no talent for children at such a young age. They can only be selected based on their personality.
