Chapter 38: Enrollment in Gion
Naval School,
In the end, He took Gion away. When they reached the door, Gion suddenly turned around and looked at Jiger. He said something to Ginny, which made Ginny giggle.
On the way back, He saw Gion, who was keeping his head down and silent, and asked,
"Gion, are you still thinking about the battle just now? Don't worry too much, go back and practice well, you will definitely be able to..."
At this point, He was suddenly stunned. What she wanted to say was that Gion could defeat Jiger, but after seeing Jiger's series of performances just now, even she felt that this seemed like an impossible task.
She had to admit that Jiger was truly enchanting!
Did Sengoku and Garp, the two top fighters in the navy today, have the same strength as Gig when they were his age?
If they had faced Jiger at that time, the result would probably not have been much better than Gion...
Now, halfway through his words, He was stuck there awkwardly, not knowing how to continue.
Gion was not stupid, she had already understood what Tsuru meant, but she was not annoyed, instead she burst out laughing.
"Sister He, why don't you continue? In fact, even you don't believe what you are about to say, right?"
His thoughts were exposed, and facing this sister with whom he had a very close relationship, He simply said it directly.
"Well, Giger's talent is indeed amazing. To be honest, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a general."
Gion shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully,
"The future admiral of the navy?... Is this your assessment of him, Sister Tsuru? I'm afraid that's still a bit conservative!"
Tsuru looked at Gion with some surprise and continued,
"Do you think he can become a marshal? A marshal cannot be appointed based on strength alone. Judging from Jiger's character, I don't think he is suitable for this position."
In today's navy, the dove faction is the most powerful, and Crane is a representative figure among them.
Zefa had heard about how ruthlessly Ziger treated his enemies when he was on missions. With her conservative ideals of justice, she did not think that Ziger was a suitable candidate for the marshal position.
Thinking of this, He also laughed, thinking that this was really going too far. No matter how strong Jiger was, he was still just a student. Strictly speaking, Jiger did not even have a formal military rank.
Gion did not continue to talk about this topic. She stopped and said seriously in front of He's puzzled eyes,
"Sister He, is the Naval Academy still accepting people? I want to go to the Naval Academy to train!"
"Well, we do accept it, but the first school year is almost over. If you want to join, you have to be included in the second term."
After hearing this, Gion curled her lips, then she hugged Tsuru's arm and started to act coquettishly.
"Sister He, considering your relationship with Instructor Zefa, it shouldn't be that difficult to arrange for me to be a transfer student, right? Just help your sister with this~"
She was really unable to resist Gion's move, and she said helplessly,
"No, didn't you complain that the headquarters was too boring, and that Garp and I weren't as good at teaching as Zephyr? Why do you suddenly want to enter the Naval Academy?"
"Oh, I just want to get in touch with Jiger more. With such a genius stimulating me, my strength will definitely improve very quickly!"
Tsuru looked at Gion suspiciously and asked,
"Because of Jig? I say, you don't have some other thoughts about him, do you? Have you forgotten about Ginny? Let me tell you, if you really think so, I will never agree to your request. You might as well consider Kaji. His appearance is not so good, but he is excellent in other aspects!"
"Sister He, what are you talking about? I was just beaten up by Jiger. How could I possibly have any other thoughts about him? I really just want to make progress! And can you please stop mentioning Kaji to me? It's so annoying to have you around me all day long!"
He stared at Gion for a long time, and Gion looked at him very frankly. Finally, He compromised. She waved her hand and said,
"Okay, I'll tell Zefa about this, but you have to promise me that you won't cause any trouble for me after you enter the school!"
As soon as Tsuru let go, Gion cheered immediately. She hugged Tsuru's body and kissed him hard on the face, leaving a bright red lip mark on it.
"Sister He is the best! Don't worry, I will practice hard in school and will never embarrass you!"
Tsuru wiped off the lipstick marks on his face, rolled his eyes at Gion, and said,
"You! Can you be a little more reserved? I see that Ginny is about your age and she looks so cute. What about you?"
"Tsk, that's just a little girl's attitude. Men still like mature women!"
"Just you? A mature woman? Do you want to make me laugh to death?"
He no longer paid any attention to his neurotic sister and left on his own.
Gion looked at Tsuru's back with her beautiful eyes narrowed, looking like a cunning little fox.
She took out a pink hairband from her bosom, tied her loose hair into a ponytail, and murmured to herself,
"Sister He, just watch. A woman defeating a man doesn't necessarily have to rely on strength..."
After a few days,
Jiger got up a little late today and left the dormitory quickly with Kizaru who liked to leave at a certain time.
When they arrived at the training ground, it was time to assemble. He walked to his seat and stood waiting for Zefa to arrive.
Yellow Monkey on the side tilted his head and said,
"Jig, the old man hasn't come yet at this hour, do you think he's getting too old and starting to sleep in?"
Jiger shook his head and whispered,
"No, the older you get, the less sleep you get. I think Mr. Zefa must have been delayed by something."
"Tsk, what could possibly happen to him? If it were you, he should just retire soon. I heard that the retirement allowance for admirals is very generous!"
"So you never thought about becoming a general?"
"Of course I do! As a navy officer with a heart of justice, my dream has always been to become a navy admiral!"
Akainu maintained a standard military posture and glanced at him sideways. The disdainful expression on his face already expressed his meaning.
When the bell rang, Zefa finally appeared. When everyone saw him, they were stunned because there was a slim beauty following behind Zefa.
And this beauty is none other than Gion, who almost chose the Naval Academy not long ago.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zefa walked to the front with Gion, coughed a few times and said,
"Dear students, we have a new member here today. You should be familiar with her. Let her introduce herself."
