I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

The Naval Academy is located in the northwest corner of Marineford.

It is a large institution with a considerable area dedicated to training military personnel, possessing very complete facilities and a large number of naval instructors led by Zephyr.

Although the number of students in each session does not exceed three hundred.

However, each cohort of trainees consists entirely of young elites selected through a rigorous process from naval bases around the world.

It's a little past 7:10 in the morning. Su An quickly washed up and tidied up the broken pieces of the alarm clock...

Because of his long-standing habit of exercising, Su An went straight to the training ground.

There was no one on the training field at this moment.

However, when Su An left the dormitory building, he heard that many students had already gotten up.

Su An's training regimen is very simple: a 20-kilometer run, 300 pull-ups, and 300 frog jumps back and forth.

Before Su An suddenly became stronger, he insisted on doing these things every morning, noon and night. Later, it became a habit, and he felt quite uncomfortable if he didn't do them every day.

While running ten kilometers, Su An noticed some instructors standing at the edge of the training field.

And all the instructors were watching him, some of them even taking out something like a recorder and starting to take notes.

After completing 300 pull-ups, the trainees gathered at the training ground.

However, upon seeing Su An, who was already drenched in sweat, the students exchanged glances and immediately began their own training.

While Su An was doing 300 100-meter frog jumps back and forth, many people watched him with surprise in their eyes.

Furthermore, Zefa had already arrived at the training ground, and when he looked at Su An, the fervor and admiration in his eyes were completely undisguised.

Just as Su An breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the time, it was only 7:40...

"Everyone! Assemble!"

Zefa seemed to have noticed that Su An's training was over, so he immediately let out a low growl.

Immediately!

All the students rushed towards Zefa's location and assembled.

Su An was puzzled for a moment, then looked down at the time displayed on his pocket watch, which showed 7:40, before looking at Zefa with a strange expression.

But by this time, the trainees had already quickly assembled, and only Su An was still walking around with a strange expression on his face.

However, neither Zephyr, nor Ian behind him, nor the other instructors glanced at Su An, and showed any intention of urging him.

Zefa stood on the platform, looking at the trainees below: "Have you all forgotten about failing the assessment yesterday?!"

Upon hearing this, the trainees immediately responded in unison, "We haven't forgotten!"

"Then why are you all being so lax today!" Zefa asked gravely.

The trainees all looked surprised, because they didn't understand when they had become lax, and wasn't this the same as usual?

Upon hearing this, Su An raised his hand to push up his glasses, looking at Zefa with a serious expression. Did he not arrive early this morning?

Zefa held up the record boards that the instructors had been using and faced all the trainees: "At 7:20 this morning, Instructor Roddy was already at the training ground, but only Su An was doing self-training here!"

No one achieves success through laziness, and no one's strength comes easily!

"As a result, Su An, who is stronger than you, put in far more effort than you, and this record shows the content of your self-training! It's utterly appalling, not even half of what Su An did!"

"Yesterday, you were defeated by his own hands, or all of you were defeated by him alone. Didn't you feel any remorse? Yesterday, you willingly accepted your punishment. I saw your determination to become stronger, your unwavering resolve to work hard. But is this all the determination you have?!"

At this point, Zefa paused and looked towards where Su An was.

Su An heard it clearly as well, but he also looked at Zefa.

Although his expression remained as calm as ever, he pushed up his glasses.

Mr. Zephyr, what are you talking about? I'm just doing normal physical exercise, what do you mean by training!

Zefa turned to the crowd and continued, "Su An's strength has reached this level, yet he still persists in his initial desire to become stronger. I deliberately waited until he finished before gathering all of you today, just to see what you would do during his training. But many of you simply watched him! Completely indifferent to his presence!"

When he finished reprimanding her, Zephyr clenched his fists and asked in a low voice, "You guys...you're not scared off by Su An, your classmate, and you're going to give up on yourselves, are you?"

When Zefa reprimanded them, the students had already lowered their heads. As elites, they also had their own pride.

They had heard Zefa's reprimand clearly, and they all lowered their heads in shame.

Especially those students who were swearing yesterday to work hard to catch up with the special recruits, clenched their fists and hated themselves for getting so engrossed in watching Su An train that they forgot how hard he was working and that they should be working even harder!

Subconsciously...

Everyone turned to look at Su An.

Su An tilted her head slightly, her face expressionless, but...

"what?"

"I wasn't scared!"

At this moment, the tall female student who could turn her longsword into a whip stepped forward.

And then the female student stepped forward.

One by one, the trainees stepped forward.

Some of them even looked at Su An: "We're willing to accept any punishment, Professor Zephyr! And we'll steal Su An's special admissions status!"

The next moment!

All in perfect unison!

All the trainees bowed in unison and repeated the same sentence!

Upon hearing this, Zephyr's lips curled into a slight smile: "Very good! Then next! Everyone, swim ten laps around Marineford!"

Having said that, he looked at Su An and said, "Su An! Take your place!"

Hearing his name called, Su An paused, picked up his pocket watch and looked at Zefa: "But it's only 7:45 now."

Zephyr didn't understand what he meant, but still said, "I know!"

Su An said, "It's not eight o'clock yet, Mr. Zephyr. I've read the trainee handbook; it says training starts promptly at eight o'clock every day. If you want me to go to work early in the morning, please allow me to refuse. Besides..."

At this point, Su An said with a serious expression, "I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm going to go eat breakfast first. I'll be here on time at eight o'clock."

After saying this, Su An bowed to Zefa and then turned to walk towards the training ground.

It was decided last night!

Absolutely no overtime!

Zephyr and the others watched Su An's retreating figure...

"what?"
