I, Azure Commander!

I didn't expect that she was actually my homeroom teacher...

Perhaps influenced by memories from his previous life, Lin Xiao still had great respect for the position of "class teacher" and even felt that the position of class teacher was more important than the dean.

So, looking at Sister Beng in front of him, he was immediately filled with awe and was almost about to give her a military salute on the spot.

But what about Sister Beng?

She actually felt similarly now. Looking at Lin Xiao in front of her, she felt as if she had seen a ghost.

Pennsylvania was actually very happy when the dean found her and asked her to be the freshman class teacher.

The main purpose is to help newcomers grow, and it is definitely not for any reason like it is fun to scare or bully newcomers.

Now, there’s a genius in our class, how can we bully him?

"Brother Lin Xiao, Brother Lin Xiao..."

Behind Lin Xiao, a slender little hand tugged at his clothes, and Tang Xiaojiu asked curiously, "Do you know the teacher?"

"That's right..."

Lin Xiao nodded, and Sister Beng in front of him also smiled awkwardly, coughed, and reorganized her expression, temporarily regaining the dignity of a teacher.

But she can't completely give up the fun of "bullying" newcomers just because of this one person. Otherwise, wouldn't her being a class teacher for this year be like being in prison?

If it weren't for the idea of ​​bullying the new commander, who would be willing to do this? Wouldn't it be better to be a lazy instructor? When nothing happens, you can sleep with pay or eat a big meal at public expense. When something happens, you can just play around with those new ship girls, organize exercises, and do demonstrations. It's an easy job.

This is probably similar to the desire of boys to bully girls. It will also feel different when a ship girl bullies her commander or a commander bullies a ship girl.

Of course Lin Xiao wouldn't say anything else. In fact, he was curious why the head teacher seemed a little afraid of him.

Pennsylvania calmed down and found that this big commander in the guise of a newcomer seemed harmless, so he stopped thinking about it and started the normal process.

The first thing is naturally a brief introduction to what they are going to learn in the Naval Academy. Contrary to most people's expectations, the commander is not just a gigolo. In addition to being responsible for commanding battles and providing assistance to the ship girls during battles, he also needs some hard-core knowledge, such as how to manage and develop the port area, related matters and prohibited matters related to the construction of the port area, etc., including the understanding of the ship girls, and the content related to the growth of the ship girls, such as breakthroughs, strengthening of ship equipment, level upgrades, as well as mental awakening and equipment selection, etc. Of course, the most important thing is to learn how to understand the physical and mental state of the ship girls in a timely manner, and how to enlighten and comfort the ship girls in various situations.

This is also the commanders' biggest and most fundamental role. Other things, such as developing port areas or assisting in combat, are not unimportant, but they ultimately take a back seat to this.

Ship girls are fighting machines who never complain of being tired or suffering. As long as it is for the commander, they can do anything, and can even die together with the Sirens without hesitation. However, such ship girls are not always so strong. They also have their own feelings, their own ideas, their own favorite things, and are fascinated by all the beauty in the world... They can think independently, and what they need most is an emotional support, an object for them to place all their beautiful emotions.

Otherwise, all the beautiful fantasies will be floating around without a basis, and if they are placed under high-pressure battles, even the ship girls will eventually suffer an emotional breakdown, go crazy, and degenerate.

When the Ship Girls were just born and there were not so many commanders in the world, such things happened from time to time. Ship Girls lost their minds, some were controlled by Sirens and became enemies, and some completely collapsed and turned into lunatics who only knew how to destroy and ruin.

As a commander, the most fundamental and most important thing is to prevent such tragedies from happening.

The topic has gone a bit off topic, but it is necessary. Pennsylvania looked at the commanders in front of her who had become solemn, and nodded with satisfaction. No matter what, she had to complete the first day's work well.

Many of these newcomers' ideas are still naive, and they are not yet aware of the responsibilities that the commanders who seem to be doing nothing actually bear. Many of them think that the profession of commander is too simple.

All in all, if you really look into it, there are a lot of things they need to learn. Although learning these things does not make them excellent commanders, excellent commanders do not necessarily need these things - after all, the real European emperors have virtuous wives, and they don’t have to worry about these things at all. However, as a commander, learning this knowledge will definitely be useful, especially for the majority of non-Europeans.

After Pennsylvania said this, even though the newcomers still had no concrete idea of ​​what she was talking about, they were still somewhat frightened. After all, from what Pennsylvania said, a lot of things were really quite complicated.

For example, to understand the shipgirls, they must know the names, general characteristics and detailed information of all the shipgirls currently known in the world, including various values ​​such as artillery, aviation, anti-aircraft fuel consumption, and the more common personalities and likes and dislikes of the shipgirls who inherited a certain name. These things are still useful for the initial understanding and contact with the shipgirls. Of course, after getting familiar with them, each shipgirl is a different individual after all, each with its own characteristics, so this knowledge is not so useful.

If such knowledge is only needed for one or two ship girls, it would be a headache to understand the relevant information of all the ship girls that have appeared in the world.

In addition, the configuration of equipment is also a very troublesome issue.

The ship girls that inherit each historical ship name have their own characteristics. Based on these characteristics, including facing different battlefield situations and even facing different enemies, the equipment that should be chosen is completely different. This is a very complex knowledge system that gives many new commanders a headache just listening to it.

The more advanced ones involve ship girl battles, including the correction values ​​of various equipment, the influence of the firing angles of ship girl's guns and so on, which are even more complicated. These all need to be learned, and just listening to them is a headache.

But Lin Xiao was amused.

So this is what you learn at the Naval Academy? That’s it?

He was originally worried that the courses at the Naval Academy might be too many and complicated, but he didn't expect that these are the contents taught?

Aren’t these things very simple?

The title of "newbie" is not for nothing. Lin Xiao is not bragging, he is familiar with at least 80% of the things that the academy teaches, especially the information about the equipment, he remembers it better than the KanColle.

However, these things have never been of any use in front of his own ship girls. After all, with their level of training, they naturally know what they need to know and do not need him to remind them. The equipment has also been equipped long ago.

By the way, speaking of equipment, he seems to have not equipped Shimakaze yet... This kid is still carrying the basic equipment, without even a torpedo.

He had neglected this point. He was too busy last night and didn't think about it in the morning.

When I have time, I will go to Lafite and borrow a set of spare equipment for her first, and then change to a better one later.

To be honest, Lin Xiao really doesn't have any good equipment to give to Shimakaze now. He is obviously a kid who has just joined the port area, and he is still a colorful one. If it were in the past, he would have arranged colorful mines and double colorful thunder sticks on the spot.

There should have been some stuff in the warehouse originally, but everyone took it away. I heard that Minashi and Shiranui took the most. Basically all the resources in the port area are with them, and I don't know where they are now.

Anyway, after Pennsylvania said that, Lin Xiao was no longer panicked. A two-year course? Not to mention a year, he could finish it in a month.

After all, today is the first day of school. After briefly introducing the general situation, Pennsylvania did not start class immediately. Instead, he planned to take these commanders to the training ground to witness the exercises between the ship girls.

It just so happens that their initial ships are all there now. These little guys were only built yesterday, and today they left the commander to participate in the exercise. They must be a little panicked.

Especially since many of them are destroyers, most of them are children. These children are most dependent on their commanders, so having the commanders go to the training ground will also be beneficial to their training.

She did what she said. Sister Beng gave a call, and the commanders who were frightened by her words immediately lined up obediently and headed towards the training ground.

At this time, the new ship girls in the training ground were also intimidated by the instructors. Of course, the instructors who appeared at this time were the official instructors of the academy, not the honorary instructor Raffi. If it was Raffi, she would be confused and unable to control these newcomers.

Because most people's initial ship is a destroyer, and many of them are timid children, the instructors said scary things to make them take it seriously. Many children now have pale faces and are very scared. Some are about to cry.

But this is understandable, and it is essentially for their own good. After all, no matter how heavy the responsibilities of commanders are, most of the time they hide in the back to watch the battle and command. But it is different for the ship girls. They have to go to the battlefield, fight with Siren ships, and fight amid artillery fire and explosions. No one knows when their life will be in danger.

"Stop crying! If you don't work hard, your tears will be caused by your commander's blood in the future!"

When the commanders arrived at the scene, the instructors of the academy were scolding the newcomers in front of them.

"Do you know how many lonely ship girls I have seen? It's not that they don't have commanders. They used to have commanders, but now they don't have commanders. Do you know what happened?"

The academy deliberately selected an instructor with a fierce face. It was really a bit scary to hear him say such words at this time. Lin Xiao felt a little scared when he saw it, let alone these children who were just born not long ago.

"You are all lucky. You have commanders who match you from birth. Some naturally born ship girls have been wandering on the sea for many years without meeting commanders who suit them. Some even sank in the battle with the Sirens and never felt the care of their commanders until they died. Look at the clothes on you. Did many commanders take you to the mall yesterday? You wore the clothes that the commanders bought for you and ate the snacks that the commanders bought for you. You were all treated like treasures in their palms..."

This sentence really touched the hearts of the shipgirls. Which new commander would treat his or her initial ship badly? It was not easy to build it, even if it was a non-African destroyer, even if they envied other shipgirls, their own shipgirls were more important. They would immediately arrange for good food and clothes, ask about their well-being from time to time, and take care of them meticulously. These were all their personal experiences.

"Everyone who can become a commander is excellent, but they are also fragile. Even the lowest-level Siren can be wiped out forever with just a random shot. I don't want any of you to return to a lonely port after an attack ten years later, watching the sunset alone, hugging your knees and crying... Failure to protect your commander would be the saddest thing for a ship girl."

These words really became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Many little girls burst into tears, tears streaming down their faces, with regrets all over their faces, obviously because they were lazy just now.

Lin Xiao watched from the side and called him an expert.

It would take at least a hundred or eighty years to come up with this set of rhetoric, and it can scare these young and playful little lolis into practicing seriously and not daring to be lazy anymore, and it can also help to increase the commander's favor towards the ship girls. This Naval Academy is really well-planned, after fooling the commander and the ship girls, it even wants to bring the commander to the scene. Is this really the Naval Academy a big scam or a marriage-urging academy?

"Okay, that's all for now. Let's take a break and continue practicing. Don't let me see anyone slacking off again."

The instructor was also sharp-eyed. When he saw Pennsylvania coming with his men, he stopped in time and let the kids go.

When the ship girls saw the commander coming, they naturally rushed over with tears in their eyes. When they found their commander, the little girls hugged their waists and started crying, while the more mature girls held the commander's hands and swearing to protect them. It was obvious that they had been brainwashed.

But, how should I put it...there's actually nothing wrong with this.

Lin Xiao looked at Shimafeng, who had red eyes and was tugging at the corner of his clothes and refused to let go, and rubbed the little guy's head. This time he didn't dodge, even when his ears were touched. He refused to let go even when he had no strength left in his body. He let out bursts of mournful cries and buried his head in Lin Xiao's stomach.

"Commander, will there ever be a day when you leave Shimakaze?"

Chapter 30 I Don’t Want to Be a Human Anymore!

"Commander, will there ever be a day when you leave Shimakaze?"

It seems that the instructors of the academy have really scared these newly born children. The confident Shimakaze Rabbit is not afraid of the enemy and will not be afraid to fight any Siren, but she is afraid that the commander will disappear one day.

Just like what the instructor said, the commander is a human being. Compared with the ship girls, human life is too fragile. Any danger may cause them to disappear forever.

The children built have a high affinity with the commander. It is precisely because of their high affinity and mutual spiritual connection that they are awakened from the cold darkness and born into this world. For these ship girls, from the moment they were born, they have formed an inseparable bond with their commanders. Just like a bird that has just opened its eyes will regard the first creature it sees as its parents, the ship girls are built and see the commander who cares for them in every way, so they will silently entrust their lives to him.

If it is a destroyer, it will be even more serious. It is still young and ignorant, and is both curious and afraid of this strange world. It depends on the commander in everything and tells him everything.

Although Shimakaze is a rather reckless child, he is still a child after all. No matter how naughty a child is, his parents dare not offend him. So when the instructor was saying those terrible things just now, Shimakaze was really scared.

Lin Xiao looked at the child in front of him, who was clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, his face full of worry and fear, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He couldn't tell Shimakaze that the instructor was just trying to scare them, right?

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Lin Xiao slowly squatted down and gently hugged the child in front of him, "I believe in everyone, and I believe that Shimakaze will protect me."

Shimakaze blushed slightly, but was still worried, "But... Commander, you'll get older, right?"

This sentence suddenly made Lin Xiao fall into silence.

This is actually a question he has been deliberately avoiding. He is a human being, and humans will grow old one day, but what about the ship girls? They are eternally young, and as long as there is no crack in their hearts, they can live in this world forever.

So, what will happen after ten, twenty, even forty, fifty, or a hundred years?

As a normal person, he should have died long ago. This time, he disappeared completely and would never come back suddenly. But what about the ship girls?

They will not grow old and will not die, so what should they do then?

This seems to be an unsolvable problem, unless... unless he is no longer a human being?

"It's okay, the Commander is still very young. It will take a long time for the Commander to get old..."

No matter how conflicted he was, he couldn't let his child suffer the same worry. Lin Xiao still forced a smile and rubbed Shimafeng's head.

“Aaaaah, my ears, my ears cannot be touched casually…! My body is so weak…”

Shimakaze cried out in sorrow. He was not a pessimistic person after all. Children's worries always come and go. The commander said for a long time. How long is a long time? Anyway, it's not now, nor tomorrow, probably forever...

"Don't worry, Commander, Shimakaze will definitely protect you!"

The commander's arms are so warm to the children. If they feel unhappy, they will feel better immediately after lying in the commander's arms for a while. Shimakaze's mood gradually improved and a confident smile returned to his face.

"Then I'll leave it to Shimakaze..."

Lin Xiao smiled with some relief. In his previous life, Guayou did not have Shimakaze implemented, so he knew nothing about this kid at first. Now it seems that although Shimakaze may be impulsive and reckless sometimes, overall, he is a very good kid.

The ship girls still have to continue learning and practicing, and the commander cannot stay here forever. After letting them communicate with each other for a while, Pennsylvania probably felt that the time was right, exchanged glances with another instructor, and then took the commanders away.

After that, they took a long tour around the academy. Pennsylvania acted as their tour guide. He introduced the various buildings and venues in the academy and took them to learn about the Naval Academy.

Although the commanders have a lot of courses, they are not like the endless practice of the ship girls. They don't have to go to the battlefield, so they don't need to race against time. Instead of rushing to start teaching courses, they have to live in the academy for a long time. Many of the ship girls are still immature and have no ability to take care of themselves. If the commander is unreliable, knows nothing about the academy, and doesn't even know where to eat and practice, it won't work.

After the trip, Lin Xiao had a better understanding of the academy. Although he didn't understand it, it didn't matter. There were several "honorary instructors" in his family who had been here for more than a year. As a commander, he still had to have his own opinions. He couldn't fight side by side with the ship girls. He couldn't really know nothing and rely on the ship girls. Otherwise, he would become a vase.

While the commanders were following Sister Beng to familiarize themselves with the academy, the ship girls, after being provoked by the instructors and having emotional exchanges with the commanders, were now full of energy and enthusiasm in practice.

However, there are too many ship girls after all. One or two instructors can explain the general points, but it is impossible for them to take care of every ship girl, correct their mistakes in time or solve their misunderstandings. Besides, as the saying goes, "every job has its own obstacles." It is true that highly trained ship girls are knowledgeable, but it would be very difficult for you to ask a battleship of level 70 or 80 to teach other ship girls how to fly planes.

Maybe they don't understand it at all, but they only understand a little bit. It is not impossible to force them to learn, but it is easy to mislead them and the effect is not good.

Therefore, in the end, the learning of ship girls still needs to focus on specialization, and ship girls of different types of ships will be taught by instructors of the corresponding types of ships.

"Because the school has just started, today we have specially invited several very powerful senior instructors from the academy to give you demonstrations and explanations. This is a rare opportunity, so you must cherish it. It will not be easy to get guidance from these instructors in the future. You will have to use your commander's credits to get it."

After repeated instructions like this, the new ship girls were divided into different teams according to the type of ship, and each went to find the corresponding instructor.

The instructor for the aircraft carrier is naturally Skyhawk, the instructor for the light cruiser is Sirius, the heavy cruiser is Astoria, the vice-president himself, and the instructor for the battleship is Rodney. It has to be said that this lineup is still very luxurious... at least the first half is luxurious.

There's nothing we can do about it. There are only three aces in the academy, and they can't turn out particularly powerful heavy cruisers and battleships... It might be a good idea for Dean Wales to come in person, but unfortunately this guy has always been unwilling to work hard if he can be lazy. He says that he wants to maintain his mystery, but in fact the biggest reason is that there are not enough White Eagle Ship Girls among the newcomers.

If these few new battleships were all White Eagle's ships, do you think she would come?

Let's not talk about this. After making up his mind, Shimakaze is now full of energy. He is determined to learn well from the instructors and to protect the commander. He did not notice that there are many familiar figures among the other instructors not far away.

To be honest, Shimakaze was a little curious. Her commander was so powerful and there were many ship girls at home, but she was the only one who came to the academy to study?

Are they all being lazy?

I don’t quite understand…

While Shimakaze was daydreaming, he saw the queue in front stopped. A petite ship girl climbed up onto the stone bench with her hands. Her long white hair was tied into two ponytails, and her pink jacket was not put on properly and had slipped off her shoulders. She looked very listless.

"Instructor Lafei, Instructor Lafei...it's time for class, stop sleeping!"

At the side, another instructor from the academy slapped himself on the forehead with a look of regret on his face.

This instructor Lafite was extremely skilled. She had never seen a destroyer with such a high level of training. But like all Lafites, this very skilled instructor Lafite also had the habit of dozing off. Especially now it was morning, so she had deliberately followed along. She had not expected that she could still doze off even while standing on the stone bench!

"Ah~ Woo, yes, Rafi, we have to go to class..."

Rafi rubbed his sleepy eyes, half-opened his eyes in a daze, nodded to himself, and then his little head started nodding again, making a "hu~hu~" sound from his mouth.

"Instructor Lafite!"

After struggling for a while, Lafite's sleepiness finally disappeared. The little girls looked at the instructor in front of them and looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they still had some complaints in their hearts.

Is it really okay for an instructor to fall asleep during work hours and cannot be woken up even if you call him?

Shimakaze is a little confused now.
