The guy grabbed his tousled hair, "I fell asleep accidentally, I just woke up and didn't think too much about it, I'm rude."

"The attitude is quite sincere, forget it, forgive you first."

Nuoxia put away the bamboo knife and stared at this guy suspiciously, "Just woke up? Did you sleep on this wall all night?"

"Well, it's not all night."

The man yawned again and muttered, "I didn't go back to the headquarters until after three o'clock in the morning. I was too sleepy to find my way home, so I just found a place to rest."

What a weirdo.

"Then it's dawn now, please go home quickly."

Nuoxia was speechless for a moment, then pointed to the exit of the training ground, "When I practice swordsmanship, I don't like strangers watching."

"Understandable."

The guy turned over and jumped off the fence, and asked while stretching, "Then I'm leaving, oh yes, by the way, where is Teacher Zefa usually at this point?"

"It shouldn't be long since I woke up, I guess it's in the restaurant, eh, you are also from Teacher Zefa..."

Nuo Xia watched the guy come out of the thick fog, the original words were suddenly interrupted, and his expression was slightly startled.

"Mr. Kuzan?"

The man who emerged from the fog was wearing a black coat and a purple turban embroidered with a navy scale pattern. Under his unkempt black curly hair, he looked familiar.

——It is Aokiji who will become one of the three naval admirals in the future.

Of course, he does not yet have the exclusive title of "Aokiji", the 28-year-old Kuzan is still very young and is currently serving as a lieutenant general in the headquarters.

"Ah la la, have you been recognized?"

Qingzhi glanced at Nuoxia in surprise, and couldn't help scratching his head, "Even the juniors of the boot camp who haven't graduated can recognize it at a glance. It seems that I haven't been a fool in the past few years, but I have gained some fame. "

His expression is still easy-going, but now that he knows the identity of the other party, if Nuoxia's attitude is the same as before, it will be very rude.

"Too humble, Mr. Kuzan."

Nuoxia stood with her legs straight, and gave Qingzhi a standard military salute, and then said solemnly, "Mr. Zefa regards you as proud, and has used you as an example several times to educate and inspire us."

"Are you proud..."

Aokiji murmured and repeated these two words. For some reason, the pictures that had been gradually buried in the depths of his memory by him, after a few months, once again appeared in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern.

The refuge ship blown up by the artillery fire, the icy profile of Sakaski, the cries of the civilians, the desperate eyes of the dark-haired girl...

There is also the "drop hee hee" laughter of the deceased friend, as if still echoing in his mind.

"Examples are not to mention."

His mood suddenly became low, and he suddenly lost his interest in talking. He turned his head to look at Nuoxia, who was full of unknown reasons. He sighed and waved his hand.

After leaving this sentence, Qingzhi left the training ground on his own, his back disappeared into the thick fog, and gradually disappeared from Nuoxia's sight.

Looking at the general direction, it was obvious that he went straight to the restaurant to find Zefa.

"This guy, what's going on..."

Seeing Qingzhi's disappearing figure, Nuo Xia was a little dazed. This was not like the other party's temperament. It was rare to see such an amazing senior in the same family. He was a little surprised and planned to chat a few more words.

He didn't want to understand, so he was too lazy to think about it, shook his head, picked up the bamboo sword, and focused his attention on swordsmanship practice.

First, according to the usual practice, at a frequency of once every two seconds, the standard "Suzhen" exercise was carried out for half an hour without interruption.

After a short rest, he moved his sore wrists, then picked up another bamboo sword, used both swords together, and reviewed the sword skills of Shuangdao Liu.

"Double Knife Flow".

This is the skills that Nuo Xia possessed before getting the system. It is rare for him to reach the primary level. He has practiced swords for more than ten years since he was a child. He has already mastered the basic sword skills of the double sword style.

Even when it comes to the basic skills of swordsmanship, he ranks among the best in the entire elite camp, and is not inferior to any swordsman of the same age around him.

The reason why he chose the double sword style may be related to his father, Captain Romanov, who was an excellent double sword style swordsman.

But in truth, Nuoxia felt that he was still poisoned by those comics he had read in his previous life. There was always a kind of double-handedness that was too handsome, and the concept of being able to blow up the fashion value was deeply ingrained in his mind.

Sina Mori Cangzi, Jingle Chunshui, Miyamoto Musashi... Even the soldier commander and Kirito's grandfather can be regarded as living examples.

"call……"

After repeating the sword skill several times, the consumption of physical strength is also not small. Nuoxia panted heavily, her eyes returned to clarity, and she broke free from the state of being distracted just now.

Looking at the mottled and deformed bamboo sword in his hand, he scratched his head, estimating that at his own rate of wear and tear, he would have to replace it in a few days.

Speaking of which, he had been in the recruit camp for less than a year, and he had already had twenty or thirty bamboo swords that he had scrapped from his usual training.

"I don't know if you can get famous swords and swords in the system mall..."

Nuo Xia packed his coat and walked towards the restaurant, secretly guessing in his heart, "If you can get it, how many points do you need to exchange for a good sword at the level of a good sword, [-]? [-]?"

As a swordsman of the dual-sword style, Nuo Xia would be satisfied if he could use two good fast swords at the same time. As for the higher-level big fast swords and the supreme big fast swords, such treasures are hard to come by, and they are too far away from him. It's too far away.

…………

Just as Nuoxia finished her morning sword training and walked to the restaurant.

Located in the northeast corner of the elite camp, in a spacious office, Ze Fa, the chief instructor in charge of the entire recruit camp, also saw a proud disciple who made a special trip to visit him.

"Sherry from the North Sea Orfo Kingdom?"

Zefa took two bottles of wine from Aokiji's hands, looked at the "Sherr" logo engraved on it, his eyes lit up, and he grinned:

"I like it! I accepted this gift, and sure enough, you, Kuzan, know my mind best!"

"The teacher likes it."

Seeing his long-lost teacher, Qingzhi's originally depressed mood also eased. He squeezed out a smile and said softly:

"I seized this from a pirate group at the beginning of the year. There is a total of half a box. They are all good things that have been treasured for more than 20 years. If you have a chance next time, I will definitely bring them all for you to taste."

"A word is settled!"

Zefa laughed, but when he put away the two bottles of sherry and sat back at the desk, his expression gradually became serious.

"You haven't been back to the headquarters for half a year, right? You were ordered to come back by the Warring States period, but you also shied away from something and went to the four seas for a long time..."

Looking at the green pheasant opposite, Zefa suddenly sighed, "Have you come out of that incident yet?"

###Chapter 10 Assessment of Temporary Changes###

"..."

Aokiji bowed his head slightly and remained silent.

He was a witness and a participant in the massacre that happened in O'Hara more than four months ago.

The kind of "burning justice" that was like a raging fire in his heart, gradually faded away after this action, and even his whole temperament began to change from fighting spirit to laziness.

Zefa could clearly feel the changes in his disciples, but he couldn't comfort him directly—how should he explain the hidden secrets of the Demon Slaughtering Order this time?What position should we stand on to explain?

He also disliked many things like Aokiji, but Mary Joa was pressing on his head, Zefa knew for a long time that some things, let alone a lieutenant general of the headquarters, even if he was the youngest admiral in the navy, he would still Powerless to change.

"Ugh……"

Zefa let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice after a long time, "I can't teach you some things, I just hope that you can still abide by the justice in your heart no matter what others are like, no matter how you are in the boot camp. …”

"Recently, there are not many tasks in the headquarters. It is estimated that you are not in the mood for the time being. What kind of battle are you going to participate in?"

He looked at the green pheasant, frowned for a while, and suddenly said, "That's it, the batch of freshmen I'm bringing with me should almost arrange an actual combat assessment."

"I originally wanted to take them out in person. Now that you're back, I'll leave it to you this time. I can just take a break for a while, how about it?"

"Leave it to me?" Qingzhi finally raised his head this time, his expression a little stunned.

"Ha, that's right!"

Zefa patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't think too much, just take it as a holiday for yourself to relax, although you've had too many holidays in the past few months, making someone extremely jealous."

"..."

Aokiji hesitated for a moment, and finally, under Zefa's expectant gaze, he took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

There are smart people in the room, and he can probably guess Zefa's painstaking efforts.

——It is nothing more than letting myself relax and spend some time with these younger generations. Maybe from these children who are full of passion and enthusiasm for the future, I can regain my original intention of defending justice and let myself get out of this period of confusion and pain. trough period.

only……

Aokiji looked out of the window in confusion. The white flag of the fortress of Marin Fando was still fluttering in the wind.

Does this method really work for him today?

…………

In the spacious indoor venue, more than [-] recruits from the elite battalion of the headquarters gathered here to conduct physical confrontation training in groups.

It is now nine o'clock, and the daily training in the morning has been going on for a while. As the chief instructor, Zefa has not shown up for a long time, but he sent someone to bring unexpected news.

"Tomorrow's assessment has been cancelled?"

Nuoxia was in a group with Xiliu, and they used the six styles to learn from each other. After hearing the news, they couldn't help but stunned, "What's the situation, has Teacher Zefa asked for leave for a few days?"

"To be precise, it's not a cancellation, but a delay."

On the opposite side, Shiliu was smoking a cigarette, and while deftly using shaving to avoid the bamboo sword chopped by Nuoxia, he said solemnly:

"When I was having dinner in the morning, I heard that Teacher Zefa was discussing with the generals of the Warring States period. He seemed to want to hold an actual combat test to let us recruits see the world. It is estimated that he has been preparing for this in the past few days."

"That's it."

Nuo Xia suddenly realized that this group of recruits had been in the camp for almost a year, and it was a bit boring to just conduct an assessment in the headquarters every month. He felt that it was indeed a bit boring, and it was almost time for a real battle.

"Is there any more detailed gossip?" he asked again, "For example, what pirate group is the target? The New World or the first half of the Great Route?"

"I don't know, but you think too much about the new world."

Shiliu said angrily, "No matter how you say it's an actual combat, it's just an assessment. With the overall strength of us people, if we go to the new world to perform tasks, even if there are instructors to protect them, there will inevitably be major injuries. At that time, Teacher Zefa But I can't explain it to the headquarters."

"Eighty percent of them are the pirates in the first half, and they're the ones that have just entered the great route not long ago."

Shiliu took a deep breath and put forward his own point of view, "But it is also possible in the four seas. After all, there are still many suitable targets in these places, oh, of course, except your hometown of Donghai."

Among the four seas, the pirates in the East China Sea are the least popular. This is a consensus that the world knows.

In the rest of the sea, big pirates with rewards of five to 60 million are indispensable, but the East China Sea is the only exception. It is said that the current highest reward is only in the early 10 million Baileys.
