Elder brother's garrison

But even in such an ordinary and unremarkable city, there is a facility that it can be proud of.

That is the Naval Admiral's College in Seikan City.

The Naval Academy is different from ordinary universities, and even more different from ordinary military academies. The students here are all determined to become admirals.

What is an admiral?

The Admiral is a hero. Standing on the land amidst the invasion of the deep sea, gazing at the vast ocean, fighting alongside ship girls, he is an existence that allows humanity to pass on its torch in the struggle against the black beast.

Not every city is qualified to have its own naval university. It was only through the substantial investment and efforts of a super-rich man who had been saved by ship girls that the city was granted permission by the state to have its own naval university.

Of course, this naval academy is much smaller than those in big cities, but even a small mosquito is still meat. No, it should be said that although it is small, it has all the vital organs. Even a scaled-down naval academy can still train excellent admirals.

The Naval Academy in Seikawa City is currently open to the public.

"Qin Feng, step forward!" At the Naval University, on the bare parade ground, young men and women in green military uniforms stood in neat rows, side by side, looking like straight green lines on the yellow earth.

"Here!" With the instructor's booming voice, an older boy stepped forward in response.

The boy stood ramrod straight, with a resolute gaze and tanned, shiny skin.

"This is the certificate for third prize in the military martial arts competition, Qin Feng. I'm very satisfied with your performance!!" The instructor shouted praisefully at Qin Feng, "Keep up the good work!"

"Yes!" As if under a strange emotional influence, everyone present couldn't help but shout instead of speaking. Qin Feng stretched his neck to answer, accepted the certificate from the instructor, and puffed out his chest as the instructor handed him the shiny trophy.

The boy named Qin Feng returned to the line with his honor amidst the envious glances of his classmates.

The Admiralty College differs from regular naval universities and even military academies, primarily in that it places greater emphasis on the individualization of its students.

After all, although the admiral belongs to the military, the admiral has to live with ship girls with different personalities, so the admiral's training is lighter than that of the military.

Simply put, these brats who are about to become admirals are quite troublesome.

The awards ceremony for the martial arts competition was over, and the students in the square were free to move around.

Qin Feng had just received his reward and found a step to sit down when a bunch of classmates surrounded him: "Qin Feng, you're amazing!"

"Impressive, Captain Qin!"

The students looked at Qin Feng with admiration in their eyes.

After all, martial arts combat ability is not one of the main assessments for the admiral, so few people put in the effort in this area. Qin Feng trained because he was interested in it, and even though it was only a third-place award, it was the only award in the whole class.

Men, after all, all like passionate battles. Qin Feng, a passionate man, winning an award in a fight, was still considered very cool by his classmates.

Qin Feng was neither modest nor arrogant; he simply held his trophy and chuckled foolishly a few times.

"But speaking of which, I thought you, Qin Feng, would get first place." Just then, someone said with a hint of regret.

"There's nothing I can do, I accept defeat wholeheartedly." Qin Feng didn't care about such easily misunderstood words, and shook his head at the person who said it, saying, "The other side is too strong."

Who was the person who eliminated you in the semifinals?

"I remember it was Chang Jian from Class 1. He knew kung fu."

"Wow, that's amazing!" the group exclaimed in amazement.

Qin Feng was a very muscular man with muscles bigger than the fists of an average girl. His fists swung with great force, making him look more like a human Gundam than the admiral. Before the martial arts competition began, everyone thought he might be the most dazzling man in the competition.

Unfortunately, someone who knew kung fu appeared halfway through and eliminated him.

"Do you think military boxing isn't powerful?" Some students didn't understand. The guy who eliminated Qin Feng looked thin and weak, not powerful at all, so how did he win?

"They've been practicing kung fu for over ten years since they were little, while you've only been practicing military boxing and combat techniques for a few years. How can you possibly beat them?" one classmate scoffed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It doesn't matter anyway. The admiral doesn't care about his combat strength. Once we have ship girls, they can easily blow up a car with a single punch." Someone said indignantly, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

"You've been reading too many novels again."

"Hahaha----"

The students then engaged in another lively conversation.

Just then, someone suddenly said, "Oh right, did Chang Jian get first place in the end?"

The students' enthusiasm was extinguished instantly, as if a bucket of water had been poured over their heads.

Qin Feng's expression also became peculiar.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Didn't you watch the game?

"I had diarrhea that day, so I took the day off and didn't go to the game," the person asking the question said, somewhat confused. "What happened?"

He didn't quite understand why his classmates' reactions were so strange.

"Hmm..." The students sighed as if they had all agreed beforehand, "We didn't get first place."

"Huh? Then who's number one?"

Holding the trophy in his arms, Qin Feng pointed to a figure in the distance and smiled awkwardly: "The first place belongs to that..."

The classmate looked in the direction Qin Feng was pointing.

A girl who was significantly younger than the people on their side was sitting on the steps, looking at the sky with a bored expression.

The girl's fair and delicate skin was exposed on the wide sleeves and trouser legs, like lotus roots, looking as if you could squeeze water out of it if you pinched it.

The golden trophy, representing first place, was thrown at the girl's feet, lying on the dusty ground. She seemed to have no interest in first place at all, not even glancing at the trophy, just fanning herself with her hand, lost in thought.

"Damn it..." The classmate cursed, his face contorted with rage, "It's her again..."

"Yes, that's her."

"She knows kung fu?"

"No, she used military boxing and grappling techniques, maybe with a women's self-defense technique or something. But she used them exceptionally well, and Chang Jian lost."

"No way?"

"It's true, I heard even the instructors said they couldn't beat her."

The student quickly looked away, with an expression that seemed to say, "What did I do wrong? You need to let me know the truth."

"There are differences between people." At this moment, Qin Feng muttered to himself helplessly, his tone filled with a sense of desolation.

Women can also participate in the martial arts competitions at the Admiralty University, which is a very interesting aspect of the university.

However, as the students all know, men's physical fitness is often slightly better than women's, so the top spots in fighting competitions are basically won by men.

But there are always exceptions.

For example, the girl who came in first place right now is one such example.

Her name is Luo Lian. She made everyone in the school clearly realize what a gap in ability truly means.

She showed everyone what a genius is.

A true genius is flawless.

First of all, she had transferred to a freshman class at the Naval University a month earlier. As a naval university, it was almost impossible for a transfer student to be admitted, so the whole school was very interested in this interesting girl.

Is she from an extremely powerful family? Or is she incredibly wealthy, that she managed to secure a transfer student spot at the Naval University?

Some busybodies asked her about it, but she ignored them.

Some busybodies asked the professor about it, and the professor just shushed them, saying, "Don't ask about other people's business."

Now Luo Lian's identity is very mysterious.

She was like a mystery, piquing the interest of everyone at the university.

However, this was just the beginning. Luo Lian truly energized the entire university on her third day at the university.

She skipped a grade.

That's right, she skipped a grade, and with the permission of her various tutors.

I heard that she completed the first-year level exam with a perfect score in just two hours.

Then, she signed up for all sorts of competitions held by the Naval University, including knowledge quizzes, naval exercises, and even competitions for the history and development departments, just like reciting a menu. She declined all teamwork and single-handedly defeated all the other participants with the speed and agility of a demon king, winning first place.

Then, she skipped a grade again.

The Naval University has many activities, including many fun ones, such as extracurricular knowledge activities, sports meets, and tree planting events. No matter which activity it is, you can always see Luo Lian's figure and she is always active on the front line. Whenever there is a ranking, she is always far ahead of the second place.

Just when everyone thought that Luo Lian might have put Einstein's brain inside her skull, the martial arts competition began.

Now these people suspect that Luo Lian might be a descendant of Bruce Lee or something.

For her, first place was less of a hard-earned honor and more of something that already belonged to her; she was simply taking it back.

Luo Lian glanced at the people talking about her in the distance.

Everyone quickly looked away.

"Luo Lian, the principal is looking for you." At this moment, the instructor who had been yelling at Qin Feng earlier walked up to Luo Lian and asked softly, "Are you free?"

Even the usually forthright instructors became cautious when facing this most prodigious student in the school's history.

"I'm free." Luo Lian stood up, dusted herself off, and calmly looked at the instructor in front of her. "Can I skip a grade again?"

Chapter 353 I'm Not Human Anymore!

Luo Lian's answer was bland and indifferent, as if she were talking about something very trivial.

She didn't seem surprised that the principal wanted to see her.

"We'll have to wait for the principal to tell you about this," the instructor explained to Luo Lian.

Luo Lian showed an expression of "I knew it," reached out a finger to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, and followed the instructor into the teaching building.

The gold trophy that won first place in the martial arts competition was left on the playground like a worthless brick.

On the other side of the playground, Qin Feng and his classmates, who were still holding their third-prize awards and feeling happy, felt a subtle bitterness.

Luo Lian followed the instructor into the teaching building.

"Luo Lian," the instructor thought for a moment, then decided to say something, "I think you should cherish the results of your competition."

"Okay," Luo Lian replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

She agreed, but everyone knew that Luo Lian didn't take it to heart at all.

The instructor stopped.

“Those are things your classmates and seniors have worked hard to achieve. You are excellent, but I think you should at least show some manners in front of them,” the instructor said.

"Okay, I'll pay attention, thank you, Instructor," Luo Lian replied.

The instructor turned around and looked at Luo Lian's nonchalant attitude, sighed slightly, and said nothing more.

He could tell that Luo Lian wasn't trying to show off or be cool; she genuinely looked down on the first place.

Perhaps in her eyes, looking at that trophy was like looking at a pretty pebble growing on the roadside; once she bent down to pick it up, she had already lost all interest in it.

"The martial arts you used in the competition was kung fu, right?" The instructor started walking again.

"Yes." Luo Lian nodded.

"Military boxing, grappling techniques, women's self-defense techniques, and a bit of weapon fighting?" The instructor seemed to have some insight into this area, immediately recognizing that Luo Lian had studied these techniques. "Your foundation isn't great, but you're quite quick-witted. We haven't had anyone teach weapon fighting here yet. Where did you learn it?"

"Nobody taught me."

"So how did you learn it?"

“Baidu,” Luo Lian said calmly.

The instructor looked into Luo Lian's eyes, as if to confirm whether Luo Lian was lying.

Fighting techniques are not like the kind of exercise boxing that old ladies do in the morning. Fighting techniques are developed through real fighting, cultivating nerve responses in the muscles and gradually training them. It's unbelievable that a delicate girl would say she learned such a highly lethal fighting technique as melee combat by searching on Baidu.

Putting aside the issue of learning, even if you did learn it, you wouldn't be able to find a place to practice, would you?

"You seem quite interested in this?" the instructor asked curiously.

“I don’t like violence.” Luo Lian shook her head.

"If you have no interest and no environment, how did you train? You can't just start practicing these fighting techniques right away," the instructor asked.

Luo Lian nodded, looking like she was deeply in agreement.

Luo Lian did indeed spend several days practicing martial arts, raising this skill, which was only good for beating up thugs and hooligans, to a level where she could almost beat up her fellow military academy students.

Luo Lian is truly a remarkable person.

The instructor thought that perhaps this person didn't even consider him a threat.
