When you say dragon, do you mean he's the size of a dragon (like Smaug size), or is he human size but dragon shape?
[x] Given you are a sea dragon, will you need special accomodation for living? Like an ocean bed for your room on campus, dragon balls for dinner, etc?
[X] How long ago since you're last interaction with mortals?
[X] What made you so interested in teaching at this school?

It was quite fascinating really. Despite he true nature, he physically looked no different than a middle aged Chinese man.
"So, first things first, tell me about yourself."
He stroked his beard "Hm, I was born in and have spent most of my life in the east China sea. I'm the second son of the ruler of the area and thus was never set to inherit much so meditation and busy work took up most of my time."
"I see" you nod.
"And when was the last time you've interacted with mortals?"
"Hmmm...when was Kublai Khan still around?"
"Wait, are you saying your responsible for the failure of the Mongol invasions of Japan?"
He coughed awkwardly and looked...genuinely embarrassed.
"Well, let us just say I was young and may have taken what I perceived as a insult from one of his troops a bit too far..."
"Interesting. Well what made you interested in a teaching position?"
"My father was insistent I find another way to occupy my time. Appearantly I'd been spending too much time meditating recently and I thought this would be a good enough fit. I have a intimate understanding of water manipulation by nature and have spent some time studying the others."
Ming Xu answered, sounding bored.
"Well given that your a sea dragon will you need any special accommodations?"
"A body of saltwater in ant form shall be enough."
"Ok. Well I'll contact you if you get the position."

"First off, Ms Halvorson do you have any experience with magical creatures besides Wyverns?"
"Ya! My family's specialty is Wyverns but we do all sorts. We keep and raise cù-sìth's and even one ahuizotl to help keep the Wyv's in line. We also act as a bit of a rescue on the side so I've got experience Pegasus's, Hippogriffs, even a few Jackalopes!"
"Alright, that's good to here. So, why are you looking for this job?"
"Well my brother just got married and already given me a nephew and my papa got it into his head that I should do what he did and spend a few years working abroad, find meet new people and expand myself and all that, and a new job working with Mystic beasties seemed like a good start."
"Alright, do you have any teaching experience?"

"And what will you do to ensure the students saftey?"
"Well I'm pretty confident I can wrestle down mundane or otherwise any beasties that give the kiddies trouble. And I intend full well to teach them the same. Don't let my bumps and scrapes fool you! Long as the thing getting snaped at ain't me I can keep everyone plenty safe!"
"Fair enough. And in your opinion, theory or practice? What's more important?"
"Well, papa always said practice makes perfect!"
You nod.
"Ok, well I'll contact you in you get the job."
You shake hands again and she's off.

Next candidate was Madame Victoria Rose. Retired proprietor of Europe's largest mystical menagerie and animal sanctuary.
She walks in wearing a elaborate black dress. Her silver hair tied into a bun. Her wrinkled face kept in a tight professional frown.
"Headmaster."
"Hello Madame, please take a seat."

"First off, what kinds of magical beasts do you have experience with?"
"I have dealt with and overseen the raising and care of a myriad of mystic creatures from Unicorns to Sasquatch."
"Very good, do you have any teaching experience?"
She frowned.
"I'm afraid not much besides correcting my workers when they make a mistake. Still. I believe I've done enough research to be able to handle myself."
"I see, and what measures will you take for student saftey?"
"All proper precautions, I assure you."
"And what qualities do you want to see in your students?"
"Obedience and discipline. It is in my personal experience from my own education that a students duty is to listen and do as told by there instructors. Yes I'm aware that not all of the children will be as well behaved as I was at that age, my own old classmates were proof of that, still I believe with the proper discipline I can change this."
"Very well, thank you for coming, I'll contact you if you get the job."
And with that the Madame leaves.

Which to hire?
[ ]Joan Halvorson
+Has been dealing with animals all her life.
×Not much formal classroom experience.
[ ] Madame Victoria Rose
+Very experienced and educated in magical creatures.
×Incredibly traditional and by the book Possibley to a fault.
...It's too bad that I asked myself, "Which one seems more eccentric?" and then went with that option? While teaching a small group of kids, her approach seems better to me, so that's not the only reason.
Thus, only the Potions teacher remained to be found.
...It's too bad that I asked myself, "Which one seems more eccentric?" and then went with that option? While teaching a small group of kids, her approach seems better to me, so that's not the only reason.
She's saner than some of the other people we've hired. And in terms of actual experience she should be slightly worse at magizoology but better at actually teaching it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now for the final position. A Potions and chemicals teacher, two more candidates.
First? Olga Splinterina. A self proclaimed 'witch activist' who's made a name for herself trying to keep stereotypical witch culture alive, including but not limited to as you see her walk in-
-A long pointy hat and black dress, skin magically deyed green, a distinctive wart.
...and appearantly a not inconsiderable amount of knowledge on potions.
"Hehehehe! A pleasure deary!"
She declares as you shake hands.

This candidate has impressive power. The second candidate will have to make an effort to surpass her eccentricity.
[X] Is it your goal to keep only the European idea of witches, or do you want to explore local traditions as well?
[X] Since we're in Japan, how do you feel about Magical Girls?

"So, do you possess any former teaching experience?"
"Why yes! I lead a small coven where I acted as a leader and instructor."
You nod "Ok. Theory or practice? Which do you think is more important for students?"
She rubbed her chin and gave a light hum.
"I suppose Theory, at least with potions you tend to need to have a stronger understanding of the ingredients and why adding them does what they do is a necessity."
"Alright and how much knowledge would you say you have of potions?"
"I got top marks in the subject in my own school days and I've read up and studied a fair bit further."
"And why do you want this job?"
"To spread the culture to the next generation of course! People are too often caught up in that 'not being stereotypical' nonsense! Teaching a class in an old a noble witch art form is a bonus."
"Aha, ok. And if any students were to mock you for your appearance or beliefs? Children can be quite cruel."
Olga let out a snort
"Then I'll discipline them as is appropriate for a teacher."
"Alright, and do you specialize in a particular type or sub-set of potion?"
"I'm a Generalist of sorts in that regard."
"And are you only interested in the archetypal European witch are do you intend to explore local traditions?"
She shrugged "To my knowledge the local scene has enough traditionalists. My fight already has my hands full."
"Very well. And finally, since we're in Japan, how do you feel about Magical Girls?"
Olga actually blushes lighty and looks away
"I maaay have had a mundane freind when I was younger who introduced me to the genre. B-but that's all! I've definitely not stayed informed on it at all!"
You put up your hands reassuringly
"Alright alright. I'll contact you if your chosen.
And with that she walks out.
----------------------------------------------------------
Next candidate was appearantly a traveling healer, a Dr Black.
The she walked into your office clad in a full black leather plague doctor outfit.
"Greetings"
