The spring is cold, and the morning light is faint.

It's March, and Marinefdo still has the smell of winter.

Before the sun rose, Ji Guoyuan walked out of the room, looked at the empty courtyard in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just yesterday, under the recommendation of Karp, he became a disciple of Admiral Zefa of the Navy Headquarters, but due to his age, Ji Guoyuan was not able to join the Naval School directly, but moved directly to Zefa's house and lived in Zefa's house.

The 47-year-old Zefa suffered a catastrophe five years ago, and his family was killed by the pirates he once pursued. After that, the "don't kill" general stepped down from the position of the first line.

Zefa's original intention was to give up continuing to be in the navy, but under the persuasion of Marshal Steel Gukong and his friend Karp and others, Zefa still stayed in the navy, but he took a back seat and became an instructor at the naval school, responsible for teaching and training the new generation of the navy.

Mariin Fodo is a large and complex island, which is not only the headquarters of the Navy, but also the residence of the families of the officers and officers of the Navy Headquarters, while undertaking important military missions.

In the heart of the island, it is the home of the Navy.

Zefa, as the general of the headquarters, was assigned a large courtyard, but after the accident of his family, Zefa basically slept in the dormitory of the naval school, and it was not until yesterday that he led Ji Guoyuanyi back to this "long-awaited" home, which carried his good memories.

It's just that now this "home", or rather, this house, is really a little deserted.

What happened to Zefa, Ji Guoyuanyi knew very well, even after living in the Demon Slayer World for so many years, after seeing Zefa yesterday, his memories of the past became clear.

For this benevolent and righteous general who does not kill, Yuan Yi admires it very much, and Yuan Yi also feels sorry for what happened to Zefa. At the same time, it also gave him the most direct and clear understanding of the cruelty of this world.

Such a righteous admiral, in exchange for the ending, is .....

Ji Guoyuan looked back at the room he had just walked out of, the room he lived in was supposed to be Zefa's child's room, and there were still a lot of baby toys on the table that had not been cleaned up.

Zefa rarely lives at home, but this room is very clean, without a trace of dust, it can be seen that Zefa often takes care of it, and he has never let go of the death of his wife and children.

"Oh! It's good to get up so early, so I don't have to call you. ”

"You have a good habit of waking up early, and a good routine is essential if you want to be a good navy!"

"Are you still used to sleeping yesterday? It hasn't been cleaned up, the room is a bit messy, don't you mind. ”

Just when Yuan Yi was in a trance, Zefa walked through the corridor and came to Ji Guo Yuanyi's side, and when he saw Ji Guo Yuan Yi who got up early, he said with a smile.

"Mr. Zefa." Yuan Yi turned his head to look at Zefa, said hello with a smile, and shook his head slightly when he heard Zefa's concerned question.

"Teacher, you're joking, where has a wild man like me ever lived in such a nice place?"

"The room was neat and clean, I liked it very much, thank you for the arrangement."

Ji Guoyuan spoke a little politely, Zefa suddenly heard these words, and felt a faint sense of distance.

But Zefa doesn't care, children, suddenly to a strange place, subconscious vigilance and alienation are normal.

"If you like it, you can live here in the future."

"That guy Karp often goes on missions and rarely goes to the headquarters, so you can live with me in the future, and I will take care of you."

"Let's go have breakfast first."

"I'm going to the Naval Academy later, come with me, although you can't go directly to school now, but when you have time, you can do some training by yourself."

"The facilities are open, so you can use them when no one is around."

Zefa came to Jiguo Yuanyi's side, pressed one hand on Yuanyi's shoulder, and the temperature of his palm came, dispelling the slight chill of the early morning.

"Okay, teacher."

Ji Guoyuan felt love from Zefa's words and actions, a feeling he hadn't felt in decades.

Yuan Yi, who became a monk at an early age, has long forgotten what it feels like to be cared for, his mother died early in his last life, his father was a snob, and his stupid brother is not good at expressing this emotion at all.

There are only infinite evil spirits and a sword path that keeps climbing.

Zefa looked at Jiguo Yuanyi, who was as good as a stream, looked back and took a deep look at the room where his child had lived, and was silent for a while, Zefa suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Fate ....."

"Today, you can go to the Naval Academy with me first."

"If you don't like it.... In fact, you don't need to join the navy. ”

Zefa looked back at Jiguo Yuanyi, and his immature face made Zefa a little dazed.

If his child hadn't died, he would have been 8 years old by now. Listening to Karp, Ji Guoyuan's talent is outstanding, but the immature face in front of him always reminds Zefa that the person in front of him is just a child.

In the future, there are many options! Becoming a Navy is not necessarily a good choice!

Isn't it a kind of happiness to live an ordinary life? If his child is able to .....

As soon as Ji Guoyuan heard Zefa's words, he was a little puzzled why the other party suddenly said this.

An admiral is now actually persuading a young man who wants to become a navy not to become a navy?

"Testing me?"

Thinking so in his heart, Ji Guoyuan shook his head decisively and said:

"I won't like it, I've made a decision."

"I don't like this world very much, no matter what others think, I decided to make some efforts to change this world."

Ji Guoyuan's eyes were firm, Zefa looked at the child next to him, his expression was a little stunned, he didn't know how a person of this age could have such determination.

"Let such children give birth to such thoughts?"

"Our navy is really not enough!"

"Damn!"

Zefa suddenly felt some guilt in his heart, but in front of Jiguo Yuanyi, he suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

"Okay, very ambitious!"

"Let's go, go to the naval school with me, and I'll show you how to train an excellent navy!"

Zefa patted Jiguo Yuanyi's back and said happily.

...

When Zefa and Ji Guoyuan arrived at the naval school in Marin Fodo, the naval cadets had already begun today's training.

On the martial arts arena, the cold air of the early morning has not yet faded, but the sailors who are training are already sweating one by one.

"Na, Yuanyi, these guys are all elites from all over the world."

"Naval Academy, not everyone can join casually."

"Everyone who participates in the training here is an elite person who stands out from the branch."

"And those who can successfully graduate from here, after being assigned, will also directly become generals."

As he spoke, Zefa had already led Ji Guoyuan to approach the martial arts arena, pointing to the students who were running laps along the periphery of the martial arts arena, his face full of pride.

"Running, it's a little different from what I expected, I thought that the training at the Naval Academy would be a little different."

"Mr. Zefa, if it's just running, I think I can join in."

Zefa heard Yuanyi's words, smiled noncommittally, and casually summoned an instructor who was responsible for supervising the training, and asked loudly:

"Report down! How long have you been training! ”

After giving a military salute to Zefa, the instructor who was questioned straightened his chest and reported: "Report to Chief Instructor Zefa." ”

"I've been training for an hour and 40 minutes."

"Twenty minutes before the warm-up is over!"

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Zefa looked at Ji Guoyuanyi with a smile on his face and explained:

"Running is just a simple warm-up."

"There's no training."

"Running a lap along the martial arts arena is a thousand meters."

"Their daily warm-up exercises, forty kilometers!"

"After a simple warm-up, the trainees will have other training! This includes, but is not limited to, the study of navigational knowledge, the use of firearms, combat, naval history, and so on. ”

"What you're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg."

Zefa said with a smile, his tone full of pride.

In the early years, the naval school was far less sound than it is now, and at that time, the cadets learned a few hand-to-hand combat or swordsmanship, and they would be assigned to fight against pirates. But since Zefa became the chief instructor of the naval school, the training subjects have become more detailed and sound.

And the officers who go out in each session also have many outstanding people.

Ji Guoyuan listened to Zefa's introduction, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, surprised.

This naval school is more mature and perfect than he imagined. He originally thought that this was just a place for a naval professor to teach the naval six styles and domineering. But now it seems that not only that, but this is really a school that specializes in training generals.

"Fate one, the admission requirements of the naval school are very strict."

"Only those who have a Dao strength value of 80 or more are eligible for further study in the Naval Academy."

"Do you know what 80 is? An ordinary adult male who has also received some training in the ordinary navy has a Dao power value of only 10! ”
