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

When I heard the preceding content, especially when Su An said, "I only want to become stronger, strong enough to reach a certain level..."

Zefa looked surprised.

Because there are many similar questions, and although such questions seem ordinary, they are actually the most classic questions asked by naval psychologists to assess the sailors' mental state.

but...

I always thought that all marines were trapped by the problem itself.

No one gave such an answer that avoided the question as Su An did.

Even the students standing to the side looked at Su An with surprise, and then showed thoughtful expressions.

It's still about getting stronger!

but...

It's true that as long as you become stronger, you can solve all problems!

only...

When everyone was moved by Su An's answer, they heard Su An's last sentence, spoken in a serious tone.

They all looked at Su An with disdain.

This person...

Don't you know what humility is?

Everyone knows you're a specially admitted student and very capable, so why are you emphasizing this on your own?

"Heh!" Zephyr suddenly chuckled, then burst into laughter, looking at Su An: "A brat who hasn't even mastered the Six Styles or Haki, yet he boasts of his strength. Monsters are as numerous as hairs on a cow on this sea, and those pirates who wreak havoc on the world are as many as carp crossing a river. He can only manage a draw against an old man like me whose strength has declined, and yet he's so arrogant!"

After saying that, Zephyr looked at Su An with a solemn expression: "This time, on that island in the New World, I will show you what Haki is! I will also show you that Haki surpasses everything. Even those Logia-type Devil Fruits, or even the very rare Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, are nothing but clowns in the face of sufficiently powerful Haki!"

"As for the Six Styles of the Navy, I will personally teach you during the few days we're on that Beast Island, so you don't need to train with the other trainees during these days, except for academic classes!"

After saying that, Zefa stood up and was about to leave.

Su An slurped up a mouthful of noodles, but swallowed it immediately before speaking, "Mr. Zephyr..."

Hearing Su An call his name, Zefa turned around to look at him.

Su An asked seriously, "You can arrange work matters as you see fit, but I will only get off work within the designated hours and will never work overtime."

Zephyr clenched his fist. "Suit yourself!"

But just as he was about to turn around...

Su An then asked, "Also, is there a travel allowance for going to that Beast Island, which is a business trip? If so, could you tell me what the rank of a second lieutenant is? This is a very important question."

Upon hearing this, Zephyr let out a low sigh, then turned and left immediately!

Meanwhile, everyone around looked at Su An.

Well...

Eyes wide open.

I envy Su An for being able to receive individual instruction from Teacher Zefa.

But his strange expression was because he wondered if there was something wrong with Su An. We've been longing to go to Beast Island for ages!

[May 6th, 1517 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

Because Mr. Zephyr started teaching me something today, I started calling him "teacher" instead. I also started learning a technique called the Six Styles of the Navy, but Mr. Zephyr only taught me for a moment before standing still and thinking.

……

[May 7th, 1517 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

Today I continued training with Master Zephyr, but for some reason, he got angry and ended the training early. However, I learned how to fly using the technique called Moonwalk. I also met a few classmates today, including the one who ate the Clay Fruit.

……

[May 8th, 1517 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

I'm still learning from Teacher Zefa, but he's even angrier now. He still hasn't answered me about whether I'll get a travel allowance, and no one else answers either. I'm leaving tomorrow, and although it's work, something I'm supposed to do, I guess I should get a allowance, right?

……

"The New World" is the name given to the latter half of the route known as the Grand Line.

The pirates and vicious bandits among them were far more formidable than those encountered in the first half of the journey, or even by pirates from across the seas.

This is something Su An heard from Prince Gross.

And he is that clay figure.

At present...

Su An stood on the deck of a massively modified naval warship.

Beside him were Gross, wearing a military cap with a long brim; Peacock, tall and slender with a whip-like sword hanging from his waist; and Lark, with blond hair.

"Is Vice Admiral Momonga accompanying us?" Gross asked in a low voice, looking at the Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral wearing a light purple striped suit.

Peacock chimed in, "Is it strange that they weren't accompanied by a lieutenant general? After all, since that incident, headquarters has been paying close attention to the academy's students' field training trips."

Perhaps noticing Su An's gaze, Peacock smiled and said, "You really don't know anything."

As she said this, Peacock glanced at Teacher Zephyr who was talking to the flying squirrel, and lowered her voice to explain to Su An.

Simply put...

Teacher Zephyr once led his students on a mission, but they encountered a pirate who had eaten a Devil Fruit. The pirate was extremely strong, and because he had to protect his students and his own strength had already declined, only two students remained. Teacher Zephyr's arm was also severed.

Prince added, "That's why there's an assessment now, selecting more than forty of us. It's not all trainees going out. And from headquarters, whenever trainees go out, a lieutenant general accompanies them, especially when going to the New World, with accompanying warships providing escort."

"I...I've heard about that too," Hibari said softly, clutching the sniper rifle in his arms. His voice was a little timid. "And I heard that Professor Zephyr has been feeling very guilty, and his personality has even changed."

Su An looked at Zefa.

Meanwhile, Zephyr and the flying squirrel had already stepped onto the deck and were about to head into the cabin.

Perhaps noticing Su An's gaze, Zefa glanced at Su An.

But for no apparent reason, the old man touched his forehead, mainly thinking about the events of the past three days.

This monster!

I said that to myself.

The flying squirrel, however, glanced at Su An a few more times. Although several days had passed, ...

The story of how the recruit terrified the hunting dog with a single punch had already spread among the lieutenant generals.

Peacock said with a smile, "But this time, we're not going to a place with a lot of pirates, so there shouldn't be any trouble. Besides, Vice Admiral Momonga will be with us."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Peacock noticed Su An staring intently at the backs of Professor Zephyr and the others who had already entered the cabin, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about...?"

Su An turned to look at Kong Que: "I'm thinking about whether or not to give a business trip allowance, and... how much the allowance for a lieutenant general would be..."

"what?"
