Chapter 401 The Trouble of Happiness [Triple in One]

"What are your plans for the next two months? Are you going back to Donghai?"

After sending Tai Chuan away, Skyler came to Kuina's ward and asked aloud, but at this time, Kuina's expression was very strange, her face was flushed red, and the corners of her mouth could not be restrained, but she tried her best. suppressed.

Seeing Kuina's appearance, Skyler raised his eyebrows and asked, "You should have heard it? My conversation with Taichuan."

Kuina nodded and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it, Skyler."

"You can call me teacher in the future. Now back to the question just now, are you planning to go back to the East China Sea? After all, two months is enough for you to go back to the East China Sea and then come back."

Skyler waved her hand. She claimed that she was not an arrogant person, but she just set an unspoken standard for Kuina. Now that Kuina has completed it, there is nothing to hide up.

"is teacher!"

Kuina was very excited, but when she noticed that Skyler didn't respond to her, she remembered that she hadn't answered her teacher's question several times, and said quickly:

"I don't want to go back to the East China Sea. I just... I just heard you say that you will only stay in Marin Fando for more than ten days. I hope... I can follow you. I will write to my father, and he will understand."

Hearing this, Skyler thought about it, but there was no problem at all. After all, Kuina would eventually choose Zhanye Detachment, and a month and a half in advance is actually not a big deal, just say hello to Crane when the time comes.

Nodding his head, Skyler said, "Okay, during this period of time, you can rest at ease and recover from your injuries. I will come to you when you leave Marlin Vandor."

"is teacher!"

Kuina nodded excitedly again. She just wanted to chat with Skyler. Although she didn't know what to talk about, she just wanted to chat with Skyler.

It's just that Skyler didn't give her this chance. After explaining the matter, Skyler turned around and left, although her physique could keep her refreshed for days without sleep.

However, the boringness brought about by not sleeping all night still made her want to go back to sleep. For Skyler, sleeping every day is like filing and reading files. If you don't finish this thing, you always feel uncomfortable.

Kuina didn't dare to ask Skyler to stay, but after Skyler left, she was a little disappointed, but she soon found something to do, which was to write to her father.

Kuina wrote the letter to her father very smoothly. After all, the father and daughter corresponded quite a lot in the past two years, but after writing the letter to her father, Guina just wanted to get up and send it, but she thought of someone. .

Sauronguina thought about writing a letter to Sauron too, but she didn't know what to write in the letter to Sauron, writing about becoming a swordsman? Write that you have mastered how to temper the black knife? Or write that he has become Skyler's student?

None of them seemed appropriate, not to mention whether it would be too much like showing off, but the current Sauron should not accept these.

In the early stage of entering the new barracks, Guina felt that the training of the navy was also boring, and there was no difference in the effect of her own training, and the instructors did not reveal the next teaching plan at all.

It wasn't until entering the elite camp that Kuina understood the intention of the navy, that is, if the body is not up to the standard, or if the kendo is not far enough, then it is useless or even harmful to learn some skills first.

Including Zefa's teachings to them, when they first struggled with their bodies, they never talked about the skill of handing in six styles later, and even many recruits from the elite battalion didn't know that there was such a technique as six styles.

And when their bodies are almost exhausted, Zefa will reveal the existence of the six styles little by little, and then teach them step by step. When teaching the six styles, Zefa did not mention a word about domineering. matter.

It will only be taught when each elite camp student has reached enough awakening and practice domineering.

This is about physical fitness, and it is also true about swordsmanship. Before entering the elite camp, Kuina relied on the breath of all things taught by her father to cut off the opponent's sword.

But her father never told her that the so-called Iron Slash is the standard by which the world judges swordsmen. It was not until they entered the elite camp that Guina completely mastered Iron Slash, Zefa and other instructors would follow suit. she says.

However, the so-called swordsman, swordsman, and great swordsman have changed again when Skyler talks about it.

When Skyler taught her, he never talked about swordsman or great swordsman. Skyler called other sword masters swordsmen. Although Skyler didn't tell Guina the reason, but Kuina also faintly understood now.

At Skyler's level, the so-called swordsman and great swordsman have no meaning anymore. Skyler, who is the benchmark of the end of the sword, looks back and sees all the swordsmen who are constantly advancing on the sword.

The existence of milestones such as Jianhao and Dajianhao has no effect on her, because there are no milestones ahead of her, or in other words, wherever she goes, the milestones will be there.

Therefore, in Schuyler's eyes, all swordsmen, swordsmen, and great swordsmen, even if it is just an apprentice who is just a beginner in kendo, are people who chase after her, and the collective name of these people is swordsman.

Kuina roughly understood the swordsman in Skyler's eyes, but she didn't dare, and she also warned herself in her heart that at this moment, she must never look at the swordsman in the world with Skyler's eyes.

Because Skyler is qualified, but she, Kuina, does not have this qualification. Skyler can regard all swordsmen as pursuers, but she, Kuina, must not think so.

Before reaching or even surpassing Skyler's kendo foothold, this invincible and confident attitude can easily make him forget his position and become blindly confident.

The successive setbacks in the past two years have allowed Guina to see herself and others more clearly. She has enough self-awareness, but Zoro has not yet, so these things are harmful to him.

After thinking for a long time, Kuina only left a sentence for Sauron in the text of the letter.

"Be safe, I'm still on the road, unwavering, and I hope you are too."

Although Kuina was still dissatisfied, she still had something to say to Sauron, so she folded the two letters and put them in the same envelope. money.

Although her father Koshiro said several times that he would send her money, Kuina refused, and her training method did not have much time to find a part-time job in Marin Fando.

Occasionally there will be group activities and some rewards can be obtained, but in the past year, in order to catch up with Luo, she has stopped participating in these activities, so there is very little money left.

Guina sat up and found her original clothes in the closet beside her, which seemed to have been sent for cleaning, and her belongings were also placed in a small bag.

Picking up the wallet, Kuina leaned on crutches and walked slowly towards the mail room of the medical department.

She is very proficient, because in the past, she only had time to write to Koshiro when she was recovering from her injuries. Fortunately, the medical department of the headquarters does not cost money to treat illnesses.

Otherwise, with Kuina's training method, Koshiro would not be able to pay Kuina's medical expenses even if Koshiro opened a few more Yixin Dojo branches.

"Congratulations, you graduated."

Entering the mail room, a middle-aged female navy said to Kuina, who nodded and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Kathy."

Kathy nodded, glanced at the envelope and wallet in Kuina's hand, and asked, "Send the letter? Won't you go back?"

"Well, I won't go back."

Kuina nodded, first put the envelope on the table, then straightened up, struggling to open the wallet.

"No, I wanted to send a letter home today, but my husband sent a letter ahead of time, and I just got an extra stamp."

Without waiting for Kuina to take the money, Kathy stuck an express stamp, which is also the most expensive, on the envelope, and said, "Go back and rest."

Kuina was a little embarrassed because she found that she couldn't afford the stamp and couldn't pay for it. After hesitating for a while, Kuina still accepted Kathy's kindness and said:

"Lieutenant Colonel Kathy, thank you. After I get my military salary, I will treat you to dinner."

Kathy nodded and said, "Well, I'll wait until that year."

"That year?"

Kuina was a little puzzled, even if a normal person said that, they should say "that day", right?

Kathy smiled and said, "You should go to the Zhanye Detachment, right? If you go to the Zhanye Detachment, it will be difficult to go back to Marin Fando, maybe only once in a few years."

"That's it"

Kuina was a little embarrassed that she couldn't hear Kaixi's ridicule just now. After all, although she had decided to join the Zhanye Detachment, she still couldn't change her identity for a while.

After leaving the mail room, Kuina returned to her ward. After taking the medicine sent by the nurse, she began to lie on the hospital bed, fantasizing about her "feat" after becoming a member of the Zhanye Detachment.

After thinking about it, the medicine started to take effect, and Kuina fell into a drowsy sleep with a smile on her lips.

And her letters were also collected and handed over to the news bird of Shijingbao. Express ordinary letters all go through Shijingbao. own channels.

Just entrusting the transportation of family letters or letters that do not involve naval secrets to Shijingbao can save the navy a lot of resources. Although it is a bit more expensive, it is not paid by the headquarters, and individual navy can afford it.

Of course, except for recruits like Kuina who haven't received their military pay, haven't sent money from their families, and don't have time to do odd jobs to make money.

Specialized in the art industry, Shijingbao can complete extremely fast and flexible transshipment work with the help of Newsbird, so it took only one day and one night for the letter sent by Kuina to arrive at Shuangyue Village in the East China Sea.

"Crack~"

Koshiro, who was drinking tea in the backyard and preparing for teaching work for a while, was attracted by the falling letters.

Koshiro didn't have the habit of regularly writing the World Economic Newspaper. After all, his students would bring newspapers over every day. It was enough for him to glance at them and maintain his knowledge of the world.

Therefore, he still had some doubts about the arrival of the letter. He didn't immediately think that it was a letter from Kuina. After all, Kuina was so frugal that she would not waste money like this.

Koshiro's first reaction was the letter sent by Dorag and the others. In an instant, his knowledge and knowledge unfolded aggressively, and every plant and tree in the entire dojo was perceived by him.

The grass and trees remain the same, and neither do the people. It is Zoro's practice of using a water cup as a dumbbell when brushing his teeth, which makes Koshiro speechless.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Koshiro picked up the letter carefully. Just when he was ready to cooperate with the new action of the revolutionary army, the signature on the envelope made him a little embarrassed.

This is actually a letter from her family who did not know who inherited her miserly character.

Scratching the center of his eyebrows, Koshiro felt a little disappointed at not being able to participate in major events in the world, and also had the joy of receiving a letter from his daughter, but it was more of a disappointment.

After all, the most likely reason for Kuina's letter was that she didn't plan to come back after graduation.

Opening the envelope, Koshiro found that there were actually two pieces of letter paper folded separately. One letter paper was written "To Father" on the fold, and the other was written "To Zoro".

Koshiro did not open the letter to Sauron, but put him on the small tea table, took an empty cup and pressed it lightly.

Then he opened the letter that Kuina wrote to him, and Koshiro gradually smiled as he read Kuina's letter.

Because Kuina's writing has lost the sense of impatience she used to have, Koshiro doesn't know what exactly Kuina has experienced, but he recognizes this kind of peace.

It's just that the writing seems a little distorted and ugly compared to before.

But Koshiro didn't care. After reading the big things and small things that Kuina shared, and after reading that Kuina finally got Skyler's approval and became her student, Koshiro also showed a smile.

And at the end of the reading, when Kuina expressed that she wanted to follow Skyler earlier and not return to Frost Moon Village, this man who could treat anyone with a smile still showed the same loss that an ordinary father tried to hide.

"Teacher! Haven't started training yet?!"

Just when Koshiro felt a little lost, Zoro, with his head held high and the froth of brushing his teeth still in the corner of his mouth, walked over at a pace that no relatives recognized.

Without Kuina, Sauron has become the most outstanding student in the dojo, and his waist is much tougher than before.

Seeing Sauron's arrival, Koshiro calmed down his disappointment, smiled again, pointed to the letter paper on the tea table, and said to Sauron: "A letter from Kuina to you."

"For me?!"

Sauron ran over, excitedly picked up the letter paper, and said, "This is the first time that Kuina wrote to me."

Koshiro nodded with a smile. Instead of asking Sauron to share the contents of the letter, he poured tea into his teacup, took another empty teacup, poured tea for Sauron, and then slowly pushed towards Sauron.

Zoro didn't notice that Koshiro was pouring him tea. The excitement on his face when he received the letter turned into doubt, and finally his brows wrinkled, and his mouth and nose began to crooked, as if he had exerted too much force.

The same is true, Zoro didn't know what Kuina was talking about, and eventually started scratching his head, still couldn't understand.

Koshiro, who was originally smiling, also became confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I can understand every word of the letter that Kuina wrote to me, but I can't understand it together."

Sauron directly showed the letter paper to Koshiro. Since Sauron took the initiative to cover it for him, Koshiro's eyes wandered for a while, but he chose to read it.

Unlike Sauron, Koshiro understood the meaning of Kuina's letter just by glancing at it. He smiled and said to the bewildered Sauron:

"It means that Kuina has become stronger, and she doesn't want you to be thrown away by her."

"How is it possible?! I have also become a lot stronger, okay!"

As Zoro said, it was still bright. Because of the development of the body, he could finally see a little bit of muscle lines, and his smug face made Koshiro shake his head with a helpless smile.

He knew that the progress that would allow Kuina to write such a letter must not be quantitative, but qualitative.

Thinking of the last letter from Kuina, she only mentioned insignificantly that she had already mastered iron cutting. In comparison, Koshiro was a little unbelievable.

An even more bragging progress than mastering Iron Slashing.

But Koshiro also understands that Kuina wrote so euphemistically, she must not want to hurt Sauron's self-confidence, or make him have ambitious ideas, so he didn't make his own guess, but said:

"Zoro, you just need to remember that Kuina's progress has never been slower than yours, and you have to work harder."

"That's it, then I will double the amount of training in the future!"

Zoro felt that what the teacher said made sense, he patted his chest, while Koshiro was a little helpless, children are easy to make absolutes with a pat on the head.

Sauron's current training volume is doubled? Then he needs 40 hours a day to have enough rest time while ensuring double training.

Shaking his head, Koshiro looked up at the iron pillar full of cutting marks in the corner of the backyard. Sauron is still far behind. Kuina said a year ago that she had mastered cutting iron.

But the current Sauron has not yet reached the sign of this step, and there is still a long way to go.

"Have a cup of tea, and then go buy breakfast."

Koshiro didn't say much, just took out a few Baileys from his arms, and handed them to Zoro who picked up the teacup and drank it directly, without knowing how to appreciate it at all.

Sauron took the money and hurriedly ran outside. Because of reading the letter, today's training is later than usual, and if you eat breakfast, it will only be later.

Seeing Sauron's impatient appearance, Koshiro understood that although Sauron had just acted pompously but calmly about what he said about Kuina's progress just now.

But in his heart, there is still a higher fighting spirit, but... this little guy's swordsmanship seems to be getting more and more crooked.

He talked about growing up together with Kuina's promise, but in the end he was training every day with the word "Hedao", really "carrying" Kuina's promise.

A few days later, the Marine Headquarters, Marine Vandor, began a new round of selection for the new barracks.

Zefa only rests once every two years, and only a few days at a time. Even like the previous class, he only took a day off. After completing the graduation of the previous class of recruits, he will join the next class of recruits camp teaching.

This session was pretty good, at least they got a few days of rest, but after a round of friends gathering, the time passed.

Zefa looked at the files of recruits that were constantly being sent, and kept flipping through them. Although these were all recruits who had passed the political review, Zefa was still used to taking a second look by himself.

The files of three people were listed separately by him, that is, Portgas D. Ace, the son of the pirate king Gordo Roger, Yamato, the daughter of Beast Kaido, and the daughter of Shichibukai Bartholomeo Bear. Bartholomeo Joelle Poni.

These three are all recruits recommended by Skyler, and two of them can only come in by amnesty. Of course, Bonnie does not have a separate amnesty, but he is also a member protected by the amnesty.

It's just that there is no single paper pardon issued by the Five Old Stars.

Among the three, Zefa is the most unfamiliar with Yamato. The other two children have been in contact with it. Ace has been taught by him early on. Bonnie seems to be suitable for first-class physical fitness.

However, after looking through all the files, Zefa frowned, because in the same period, there were no seedlings comparable to these three.

In this case, if he practiced some additional training content for the three of them that didn't match the progress, then there would inevitably be some other voices.

If there are more seedlings who can be better, the gossip will be much less. After all, these three people are all from the Zhanye detachment. If the identity of the "Pirate Queen" is revealed, public opinion will start to rage .

Then if he was making a fuss about these three people, something would be wrong no matter what he thought.

As for whether the identities of these three people will be exposed. Now the generals of the entire navy already know about this matter, and the Warring States Period has no intention of blocking the news. It will be a matter of time before it gets out.

If the three children can withstand the pressure, Zefa doesn't mind bearing some ugly voices, and continues to "open a small stove" for the three of them.

But if these three children cannot withstand the pressure of public opinion first, and take the initiative to ask Zefa not to treat them specially. Then, the talents of the three are really wasted.

After all, these public opinions will not only be aimed at these three children, but will also implicate himself, the instructor, Skyler, the recommender, and the entire senior management of the Navy.

Human tolerance cannot be unlimited. Some people cannot tolerate any slander to themselves, and some people can tolerate slander to themselves but cannot tolerate slander to others caused by themselves.

Of course, there are people who can tolerate both, but Zefa doesn't like that kind of people, and it's clear that these three children are not like that.

Zefa rubbed his eyelids in distress, trying to come up with a complete solution.

"Da da da~"

A footstep sounded and stopped in front of Zefa's office. Before someone knocked on the door, Zefa said, "Come in."

Someone pushed open the door, and Zefa also straightened up and asked, "Ain, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Zefa, this is my application for transfer. I hope to return to the new barracks and serve as an instructor."

Ain took a form and handed it to Zefa. Zefa looked at it, frowned, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Science Department?"

"No, this is my personal wish, just pretend that I still want to continue studying by your side."

Hearing Ain's answer, Zefa thought for a while. The science department where Ain is now is not considered to have a future. It might be a good choice to come to the new barracks, so he said, "Yes."

He took a pen to sign his name, but Zefa did not return the form to Ain, but said: "Don't rush to submit the form, you stay in the boot camp for a while, if you really adapt, the old man will go to the Science Department to explain .

If you are not used to it, then the old man can also tell the Science Department that you are on secondment during this period of time. "

"Okay, Teacher Zefa."

Ai En nodded, and did not refuse, but asked actively: "Then is there anything I can help with now?"

Hearing this, Zefa thought for a while, then looked at the freshman files on the desktop, pointed to the files of the three of Ace, and said, "Look first."

Ai En picked up the file, flipped through it, his expression changed immediately, and he said incredulously: "Two of them have more than 3,000 powers, and one has more than 2,000 powers? Is this still a recruit?

Teacher Zefa, what do you need me to do? "

"Let their cultural achievements become the top three, and they will always be the top three. Can it be done?"

Zefa thought of a way, which may not be perfect, but a reasonable way. After listening to it, Ain thought about it, and said firmly: "Yes!"
