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

Just like yesterday, everyone stared blankly at Su An's back, their faces once again filled with surprise and bewilderment.

The trainee handbook states that training begins at 8:00 AM.

But according to Professor Zefa, that kind of thing was just something written casually, and no one ever really took it seriously.

After all, as a member of the Navy, you don't have any normal time, especially since this is a naval training academy.

but...

Su An took it seriously.

And this must be strictly followed?

Everyone stared at Su An's retreating figure, momentarily speechless. Although they had witnessed Su An's self-willed nature yesterday, especially his actions towards General Sakazuki, this...

Why is it still like this today?

We haven't eaten breakfast or anything!

"Hahahahaha!"

But it was at this moment that Zephyr's laughter suddenly reached everyone's ears.

Everyone turned to look.

Teacher Zefa watched Su An's retreating figure with a smile on his face, his expression completely indifferent.

"Teacher," said the blue-haired female instructor, Ain, looking at Zephyr.

Zefa smiled and shook his head: "It's alright. Besides, since that kid already finished the morning training on his own, let him be. And today's main task is to select the trainees who can go out, and he has already passed the assessment. So he... huh?"

When he got to this point, Zephyr paused, then asked, "The hounds are here so early?"

Ain turned her head and saw a lieutenant general hound wearing a blue striped suit and pointed glasses slowly approaching from the entrance of the training ground.

Moreover, he ran into Su An, who was about to leave, face to face.

Upon seeing the hound, Ain immediately turned to Zephyr: "Teacher, Lieutenant General Hound doesn't know that Su An's assessment yesterday was also related to his outing assessment."

Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!

If we say that the Admirals of the Navy Headquarters exist as the highest combat force in the Navy, leading all the Navy's forces!

Therefore, the Vice Admirals of this headquarters are the backbone of the forces standing on the front line against pirates and the Revolutionary Army that is resisting the World Government!

Each lieutenant general is a veteran of countless battles, having survived numerous deadly engagements; they are all formidable fighters.

Su An had already learned about military ranks when he came to headquarters with Kap, so when he saw the rank on the cloak of the lieutenant general of headquarters coming towards him directly in front of him...

Without hesitation, he immediately saluted the hunting dog.

The hound looked at the handsome young man with slightly curly black hair and glasses in front of him, and recalled the scene of this young man fighting with Teacher Zephyr at the port yesterday.

Subconsciously...

The hound clenched its fist.

Yesterday's battle ignited the passion of more than just the young marines.

This also includes officers and colonels like them!

Looking at the young man before him, the hound, though eager to spar, was also well aware of the purpose of his invitation. Therefore, he asked, "The field assessment is about to begin. Where are you going...?"

After saying that, he added, "And as a specially admitted student, I've already figured out how to assess you."

After listening to this, Su An thought for a moment and then asked, "Lieutenant General, may I ask what the 'outbound assessment' is? Is it for selecting personnel for business trips or something?"

Yesterday's assessment was for special admissions students, which is an evaluation of whether I am qualified to be a special admissions student.

The hound's glasses, visible through the rising sun, peeked through its sunglasses, but its expression remained serious: "Didn't Professor Zephyr tell you?"

As he spoke, Hound glanced at Zephyr and the others standing there, and then said, "Every three months, the cadets of the Naval Academy are led by Instructor Zephyr to carry out missions in the [New World]. However, due to some previous events, the cadets who go out must be assessed by Instructor Zephyr and the Vice Admiral of Headquarters. Only those who pass the assessment are allowed to go out."

Hearing this, Su An immediately understood, but after glancing at the time, he looked up at the hunting dog and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work. I will be at the training ground at eight o'clock sharp."

After saying that, Su An saluted the hunting dog and walked straight outside.

Swish!

But just as Su An reached the hunting dog, a hand suddenly rose up and blocked him.

The hound turned to look at Su An beside him, its expression even more serious and somber: "So the assessment is about to begin? What are you talking about, not coming back until eight o'clock?"

Su An adjusted her glasses: "Since classes don't officially start until eight o'clock, I'll come back at eight. I need to go have breakfast now."

The hunting dog paused, taken aback. "Huh?"

Su An reached out and lowered the hound's arm, bowed again, and continued walking outside.

Breakfast is a very important thing for Su An.

After all, skipping breakfast is bad for your health.

Su An, who yearns for a leisurely and comfortable life, will never allow himself to have any health problems.

"So, what do you think this Navy is?!" Hound clenched his fists and turned to look at Su An. "Since yesterday, you've been talking about overtime and salary! What's your purpose in joining the Navy?! And... I'm your examiner now!"

Su An turned around to go see the hunting dogs...

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the dark claws were already attacking him!

"what?"

Su An was taken aback when he saw the appearance of Lieutenant General Hound.

But his body instinctively turned slightly to the side.

Swish!

Five claw marks descended in front of Su An, instantly leaving five cut marks on the ground.

But Su An just kept looking at the Hound General's appearance...

Do not!

Rather than saying his name is Hound, it would be more accurate to say that this lieutenant general has completely transformed into a human-shaped hound!

"A Devil... Fruit?" Su An looked at the hunting dog.

Snapped!

The hound leaped back a few steps, its eyes fixed on Su An: "Hmm, I am a user of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Hound Mode. I was originally just here to help as an examiner and shouldn't be showing this side of myself to the students, but since I'm facing you, I have to!"

As he spoke, the gas coming from the hound's mouth was clearly visible, and his arms were hanging down, with black and purple Armament Haki completely covering his claws.

And with a low growl, his bulging muscles instantly strained his suit jacket. "You keep saying those careless things, and now you even have the audacity to say you're skipping the exam to eat breakfast! Do you even know which is more important?!"

Su An spoke directly: "Breakfast."

Click~~

Upon hearing those two words from Su An, the hunting dog let out a low growl accompanied by baring its fangs.

In the next instant, the hound charged straight at Su An.

Very strong!

Su An is very strong!

I saw this yesterday!

and so!

He's going to give it his all today!

As an examiner!

We must go all out!

That's why it suddenly transformed into a hunting dog and attacked with all its might!

especially!

I'll see just how powerful you really are!

"You say breakfast is important?! Well then, your test begins now!"

As the hounds howled, dark clouds loomed around them, and he himself became more and more like a hound!

This is the awakened state that occurs when he develops his Devil Fruit to a certain extent, although he cannot maintain it for long.

but...

This is already his strongest form!

Su An: "..."

Extend your middle finger to push up the glasses frame.

He roughly understood the situation.

so...

Su An watched as the hunting dogs charged toward him.

He raised his fist.
