I, Azure Commander!

Ron seemed to sense something, looked at the ship girls who were talking about her, and gave a kind smile.

To be honest, Ron's smile was indeed very kind, without the quotation marks, but the instructors still felt a creepy feeling, as if they were being stared at by some deep-sea beast. They shuddered and dared not look at her any longer.

"As for the main force in the back row, it should be the Skyhawk and the Nagato, and the last one is... Mikasa-senpai from Sakura Empire?"

Well, although I'm not saying that I'm disrespectful to my seniors, but realistically speaking, with the strength of Mikasa's ship equipment, she would feel a bit out of place in such a team.

Of course, the merits outweigh the flaws. There is no doubt that even if we only look at the configuration of the ship girls, this is still a very strong team. The five known ship girls are all super rare ship girls with gold skins. Although the last one is unknown, I'm afraid she is also an uncommon gold-skinned ship girl, right?

Not to mention that according to previous experience, the training levels of these ship girls are very likely to be terrifyingly high! There is no doubt that for all the academies, this is the most difficult opponent to deal with and the one they least want to face.

"Strange, why is there one less college?"

Although the students' competition ended faster than expected, time was not always sufficient. The exhibition match was about to begin, but the instructor from the last academy had not yet arrived, which made the scene a little awkward.

"I say, Washington, are you going to participate in this exhibition match or not? If not, don't waste time, just start right away!"

If Zeppelin is unhappy with the other person, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to say something to him.

"Don't be so anxious..." Washington was calm and confident, "Or are the people in your academy already impatient to be beaten?"

"You... hum!"

Zeppelin snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

To be honest, seeing Washington's confident look, Count Zeppelin really had little confidence in the instructors of his own academy.

Just as Washington and Count Zeppelin were making trouble for each other, the last few contestants who had been waiting for a long time finally arrived.

"Wow~ah~! There are so many people here, it looks so lively... Hey, everyone, we are here~"

Chapter 32 Why are you here?

"Wow~ah~! There are so many people here, it looks so lively... Hey, everyone, we are here~"

Coming towards me was a lively-looking girl with short blue-grey hair and a hint of green highlights in it that was particularly eye-catching. The girl was dressed like a maid and had a cat-ear headband on her head. Her emerald green pupils were full of liveliness and she ran towards me with high spirits.

"Hey, Cheshire...why don't you wait for us!"

Following closely behind was a tall girl with wheat-colored skin and pink hair tied into two ponytails, giving the impression of a very energetic sporty girl.

"Come on, Bremerton, go!"

As she was speaking, a red-haired ship girl suddenly ran past her quickly. She also had twin ponytails, but her figure was obviously much smaller. She was wearing black suspender stockings and was also full of energy. And then... because she didn't look at the road, she bumped into the railing in front of her, leaving a dent on the railing that fit her face shape very well.

"It hurts—!"

The reckless girl immediately covered her nose and squatted down, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Really, Santiago, at least look at the road before you run, right?"

Behind the three of them were three older sisters with good figures. One of them had beautiful ochre hair with a hint of crimson at the ends. She moved gracefully and steadily as she stepped forward and helped Santiago up.

Although she has the image of an older sister, her figure is very slender. The gorgeous and high-class clothes matched with the slimming black stockings make her look fragile and in need of good care.

The other two looked more serious. One was a cool blue-haired ship girl with beautiful long hair combed into a ponytail. On her shoulder stood an eagle that looked a bit silly.

If she is a cold beauty, then the one behind her is almost cruel, with long beige hair hanging down and a bird that looks a bit like an owl following beside her, with blood-red pupils. At first glance, she gives people a very fierce feeling.

"Santiago, oh, forget it..."

Essex wanted to say something, but Santiago had been like this for a long time. After all, she was not a child and it was just her personality that made her behave like this. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "Be careful."

Bunker Hill on the side was obviously not very good at expressing his feelings. Although he looked a bit fierce and a tough guy, he still comforted his companions.

"Everyone, come quickly, it seems like we are the only ones missing~"

Up ahead, the cat-headed girl waved, and the few of them continued to move forward. Hao supported Santiago, but halfway through the walk, the girl seemed to have forgotten the pain and started running madly again.

The royal lady shook her head helplessly. She could only say that being energetic is a good thing...

“Wow! There are so many people!”

The girls were still walking when they heard Santiago's somewhat exaggerated exclamation, and then saw the girl stretch her neck and begin to look around.

"Of course, hey, am I right?"

Maomao showed a =w= expression and followed Santiago to observe the other contestants around her. Then, she suddenly became quiet.

"What's wrong, Cheshire?"

Hao, who finally arrived, asked with some confusion.

"Hao, and Bremerton, look over there..." Cheshire pointed in a certain direction. At this moment, the ship girls in the direction she pointed were also looking at them. For a moment, the atmosphere on the field was extremely awkward.

"Are they here as foreign aid because they want to find a job at the academy?"

The two were silent for a long time, and Santiago suddenly appeared behind them, breaking the silence and attracting the attention of several ship girls who followed closely behind.

"What's wrong? Did you meet someone you were traveling with?"

"Is that so?"

Hao didn't know how to answer.

"We can't lose, don't forget, only if we win can we all stay here as instructors and get six salaries... Otherwise, one salary is not enough now, and we still have to run commissions every now and then."

"Well, that being said..."

Hao was indeed in a dilemma. This was Jiaozi Benjiao. She was such a serious and solemn ship girl when they first met. Why did she seem more and more silly now?

"So, which other academy is Xiaodai's... No, how do you know they are Xiaodai's?"

Essex seemed to finally realize the problem, and looked in the direction that Maomao had just pointed, and then fell into silence as well.

"So, what do we do?"

Hao asked somewhat helplessly.

"Of course it depends on one's own ability!" Essex looked solemn, and even subconsciously wanted to roll up his sleeves, but fortunately he held back and preserved his image for the time being, and then continued: "Although they are former companions, since we meet here, they are opponents. Obviously, they also want to get into the Naval Academy as instructors by becoming foreign aid, and then become civil servants and live a life without having to run around. Everyone's situation is the same. The more times like this, the more we can't be soft-hearted!"

Jiaozi's words were righteous, and if you ignore the content, they do seem to make sense. But if you listen carefully to what she said, her status suddenly dropped, from a warrior filled with righteous indignation, determined to fight a powerful enemy to the point of being a pathetic office animal who is good at involution.

Essex was showing off his increasingly profound sand sculpture skills, while Noshiro and Tianying were also confused at this moment, having never expected that things would unfold like this.

"That's... Cheshire and the others, right?"

"Yeah, Cheshire, Bremerton, and Santiago. The ones at the back are Dumpling and Bunker Hill, right? Royal's Howe is there too."

"This is really..."

Noshiro rubbed his brows with a headache. He originally thought that this was just a performance match to go through the motions. No matter how it felt to the instructors from other academies, it was indeed the case for them. With a fully staffed gold brigade at level 120, they could easily defeat any opponent.

Unless the opponent is also a golden team, but is it possible?

According to common sense, it is impossible, but now it seems not to be a question of possibility, but it has actually appeared before their eyes.

"So, why are they here?"

This is what Noshiro finds most incomprehensible and speechless.

"It's not like they can't show up... Aren't Jiang Feng and the others still working as instructors at the academy? Maybe they've gone to the Naval Academy to find a job?"

"Ah this..."

"Then, should we tell them that the commander has returned? They seem to have just arrived, so they probably don't know this yet..."

"I think, let's finish the fight first!"

Senior Mikasa looked very energetic. When he saw everyone looking at him, he coughed lightly and added, "I'll give you, um... buffs to Nagato, Noshiro, and Yukikaze."

In fact, Nagato is the current flagship of the Sakura Empire, but their current lineup does not have an aircraft carrier from the Sakura Empire, so it seems that the BUFF of the senior is more suitable.

"Don't worry, Master Xuefeng will protect everyone!"

"No, I'm afraid..."

Tianying, knowing that his luck was not very good, complained quietly, and everyone's enthusiasm was obviously much higher than before.

After all, they originally thought that they were just here to bully the weak, and there would be no point in fighting. But now it’s different... The opponents are their own sisters, and they know very well how strong they are. Although they are reluctant to admit it, the configuration of the opponents seems to be much better than theirs. Fortunately, two of their main output are battleships... With Cheshire and Santiago, few carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier can pass their defense line. The remaining Bremerton is also the ship girl of White Eagle, and she is also good at air defense.

The opposing back row is even more powerful. They have two Jiaozi-class aircraft carriers, including Jiaozi herself. This alone is already quite strong. Add to that the top battleship Hao. Although she is the fifth sister of the Royal Knights and the one who looks the most ladylike and weak, in fact, Hao's ship equipment is more powerful than her sisters, and her strength is among the best in the King George V class.

However, although they are at a disadvantage in terms of lineup, and have players like the senior who are somewhat of a drag in top-level matches, their fighting spirit is still quite strong, and they are fully confident that they can beat the opponent.

If you ask why, it is of course because they have a killer weapon that can turn everything around - the commander.

The supporting role that an excellent commander can play for the ship girls and the influence on the battle situation are immeasurable. They have a bond with the commander and will not lose to the "wild children" who have not yet officially returned to the port.

"It looks like the other side is also full of fighting spirit..."

Tianying looked at his old friends who were ready to fight not far away, and there was even a little more fighting spirit in his laughter.

After all, they are ship girls, and they are born to fight no matter what. Except for a few exceptions like Nagashima, other ship girls are more or less interested in fighting. However, ship girls like Tianying Nengdai, who have too high a level of training, often have not encountered decent opponents for a long time, and naturally have no way of feeling the battle.

It’s not that I really like fighting, but for a ship girl, this seems to be a part of life, and I have to stretch my muscles occasionally...

The most excited person at this moment was naturally Ron. She looked at Cheshire and Bremerton opposite, and her desire to fight was almost written on her face.

Especially Cheshire, this shameless woman, always shamelessly approached the commander to do shameless things, but the commander always favored her, how could Ron bear it? Today, it was really a matter of settling new and old grudges together!

Lu Xun once said: "If a group of women live together, they will fight sooner or later."

This is really the truth. Not to mention humans, even the shipgirls are generally noble and kind. After staying in the same port for so long, everyone is naturally good sisters, a family, close and close, and the relationship is very good... But if you ask if there are conflicts between them? Yes, there must be, not only yes, but also very big.

Especially for a ship girl like Ron who often keeps some thoughts to herself and usually doesn't speak them out, that can really be called "long-standing grudge".

With her personality, she hated to see a girl like Cheshire circling around the commander all day long. But after all, they were all ship girls from the same port, so she couldn't say anything. As long as the emperor was there, Ron was generally normal.

But whether or not to say it, if you keep your opinions hidden in your heart, they will not just disappear, but will only accumulate and grow bigger. Fortunately, the two have not seen each other for such a long time since the disintegration of Hong Kong, so the feelings should have faded a lot, but what about it?

If everyone is just meeting and reuniting normally, there won't be any conflicts. We are all good sisters and the relationship is very good.

But what a coincidence that they met in such an awkward situation, and there was such an opportunity for a fight, boy, could Ron miss it?

All the frustrations and resentments from the past suddenly came flooding back to my mind like a tide. I couldn't hold it in for a while, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I rolled up my sleeves and wanted to get to work.

Unfortunately, the two sides didn't seem to meet each other so quickly, and I don't know if the grouping by the draw was deliberately controlled, so they were not grouped together. Of course, this was nothing, but it was hard for the instructors from other academies who had met Ron before. They were all almost autistic after being beaten. When Ron's name was mentioned, their pupils constricted and their vision became unfocused. They had some psychological trauma.

Finally, after several rounds of competition, as expected, the final of this exhibition match will be fought between two teams of ship girls from the same port area.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Both sides took to the court. They had been looking at each other from a distance before, but now they were finally a little closer. Hao greeted her former sisters on the opposite side very friendly.

"Long time no see, but let's make it clear in advance. Although we are all sisters, since we have the same goal, we will not give up the opportunity to get a long-term meal ticket. Get ready for a tough battle!"

Essex's words confused the Noshiro's shipgirls for a moment. Senior Mikasa looked at Essex, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "You drank? No, it doesn't look like it... Then why are you talking nonsense?"

"..."

"No need to talk nonsense anymore, the time has come, right?"

Essex was obviously a little unconvinced and wanted to say something, but Ron was obviously a little impatient and spoke impatiently, as if he wanted to take action immediately.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's fight first... We can go out for dinner or something afterwards. After all, it's not easy to meet each other once. We don't know when the next time will be. Maybe we'll never see each other again."

Even the icy beauty Essex couldn't help feeling a little sad when she said this. She gave a bitter smile and looked a little confused.

Tianying was a soft-hearted girl. She seemed to want to say something, but she opened her mouth and finally held it back.

She understood Essex and the others' current situation very well. As she said, let's fight first... It's a good way to vent your emotions. After venting, you will feel much better.

This is the last exercise, so unlike before, there is no need to divide it into different areas. The entire training ground is their stage where they can fight to their heart's content. It is precisely this stage, which may be too large for other ship girls, that is suitable for these girls to display their skills and perform.

"Then, let's get started!"

With Mikasa-senpai's slightly more serious voice, the final exercise finally began...

"It's started, it's started!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. It will be exciting when these two sides fight!"

"..."
