Chapter Forty-Four: "Repeater" Arudo
Thanks to the book friend ~goptry~ for the 100 tip!
----------
"The name Loya is very familiar."
"Have you forgotten, he was accepted as a disciple by the Pheasant General, and the guy who killed the silver-backed ape in the elite assessment."
"Oh~ he's that monster newcomer!"
The members of the elite battalion sighed and looked at the pothole.
"Indeed...... So short. ”
Perhaps before the crossing, Luo Ya's height of 175 could not touch his conscience and say "short". But in the world of One Piece, this height is very embarrassing, not to mention the white-bearded Moria Basolo Mime Bear, even the Empress Han Cook is close to two meters.
Arudo didn't really make fun of him when he said that Loya was short, and he probably couldn't do such a difficult operation with his brain. It's just a simple statement of fact, it's just that this fact is very hurtful... It hurts itself.
Arudo lay in the innermost part of the pit, inhaling in pain. Loya stomped on Arudo with her feet to prevent him from moving, pinching ice tweezers in her hands and plucking Arudo's lush chest hair one by one.
"Isn't that a dwarf!"
"It's not a small amount of courage!"
"Hard mouth~Ah!"
Arudo struggled hard, but his strength was not as strong as Loya's, and his face turned red with grievance.
The people around didn't know how to describe this scene, so they turned their heads and looked at Zefa.
Zefa pinched his teeth and waved his hand weakly: "I didn't see anything." ”
He turned around and ignored Arudo's suppressed moans, and introduced Tony to them, "From today onwards, you can call me Zefa sensei. This is where you want to be in the future, and of course you can move here. ”
"From the moment you step here, I hope you will no longer think of yourself as an ordinary recruit, but as a navy, a real soldier!"
"Our elite battalion, in addition to the training on weekdays, will also accept real combat missions! That's different from your combat training and actual combat assessment, there will be no one to protect you, there is no way out, and there is a life-threatening battle with pirates! ”
"Do you understand!"
Zefa unconsciously mobilized his momentum, and with the taste of iron and blood in his words, those who are not firm in their hearts are afraid that they will be scared.
Tony and the others were nervous, but not afraid. From the day they joined the Navy, they knew that they were saddled with the title of the worst recruit in this class, and who would be willing to bear such a humiliating title?
Joining the Elite Camp today is the best response to their efforts!
Glancing at each other, the three straightened their backs and roared loudly: "Understood! ”
That roar completely threw away the humiliation and unwillingness of the past two years, and from today onwards, they are an elite battalion!
Looking at this scene, Zefa smiled with satisfaction.
"Excellent! Remember what you said today! ”
Then he slowed down and began to introduce the difference between the elite camp and the recruit camp. When it came to the question of the graduation assessment, Zefa made a move, and instantly appeared next to Loya and Arudo, grabbed one in one hand and threw it out of the hole, and jumped up to beat it all the way.
"It's endless! I'm going to talk about the graduation assessment now, and I'll hear it all! Especially you Arudo! ”
"Yes!"
The two with blue noses and swollen faces sat upright and nodded respectfully.
The graduation assessment setting of the elite camp is very different from that of the recruit camp.
The latter only needs to be tested at the venue, and those who pass all abilities can be declared graduation, and then distributed according to the opinions of the boss.
The members of the elite camp have a lot of trouble if they want to graduate, and their graduation assessment is divided into three parts, and they will not be allowed to graduate if they fail any of them.
The first step is the physical fitness test, which is mainly based on basic qualities such as speed, strength, and endurance, and can only move on to the next stage when it reaches a certain level.
The second step is the actual combat test, which is randomly selected from the bounty order hanging by the Navy headquarters and used as a test target, either arrested or killed. Although most of the strong players with terrifying bounties have been eliminated, the difficulty of the remaining bounties is still high and low.
The third and most important step, which is the assessment stage that belongs exclusively to the elite battalion, is called Prison Death Match.
As the name suggests, the elite who apply for the assessment will need to fight to the death in a specially designed gladiatorial arena.
Their opponents may be captured pirates, all sorts of powerful beasts, admirals, and so on.
There are ten deathmatches, and only passing four games can be considered passing.
Only after completing the above three steps can you officially graduate.
The only consolation for the elite camp members is that these three phases are only sequential and not coherent, and they can be completed in less than three years.
......
"Although it is completely free when to apply for graduation exams... But! I don't want to be underwhelmed and defeated, you know? ”
Speaking of which, Zefa looked like he could eat people, and to Luo Ya's good fortune, he didn't want to eat himself.
Arudo nodded wistfully and replied, "Understood~"
The situation is clear at a glance, Arudo is the guy in Zefa's mouth who lacks strength and has been defeated repeatedly.
How is this possible, though?
For the elite battalion, the person Luo Ya is most familiar with is Arudo, the name of the iron master is not blown out, isn't his strength enough to graduate?
In addition to being proficient in one of the six types of iron, the cannon fist technique passed down by Aruga is not weak.
As if knowing what Luo Ya was thinking, Zefa glanced at him lightly and said, "Arudo's strength is good, and it stands to reason that he can indeed graduate." However, his speed evaluation is only a D grade, will he be a target after graduation? ”
Luo Ya was stunned, as if, this is indeed the case.
Is Arudo slow?
No, it's not fast compared to the average recruit.
But he was a member of the elite battalion, so it was as slow as a turtle crawling in comparison.
After Luo Ya's strength increased greatly, he relied on several times faster speed to kill Arudo in seconds, and before he could react, or before he could react, he would be tied up and beaten.
Sympathetically looked at Arudo, who drooped his head with an expression of I was already a salted fish.
Luo Ya raised his hand and asked, "That, Teacher Zefa, I remember that Arudo has been in the elite camp for more than two years, if he still doesn't pass the assessment after the three-year period expires, what will happen?" ”
Arudo's expression deteriorated, and Loya's actions were tantamount to pouring salt into a wound.
"What will happen? Hum! Zefa replied with a sneer: "According to the regulations, members of the elite battalion who fail to pass the assessment and graduate in three years can still graduate, but they will start with the lowest miscellaneous soldiers as a punishment...... But! ”
Zefa suddenly raised his voice: "The old man has been the chief instructor for so many years, and there has never been a situation where he could not pass the assessment. If that happens, hmph..."
Arudo, who was as strong as a brown bear, trembled like a little chick and said loudly: "I will definitely pass the assessment!" Please rest assured! ”
Zefa's final sneer was self-evident, if Arudo really did that, maybe Zefa would kill Arudo first, lest he discredit the elite battalion.
