Chapter 18 Outstanding Students

The crowds were huge.

Seeing the young figures walking towards him step by step, Zefa's eyes were already reddish under his sunglasses on the high platform, and his smile was soft.

His chest lifted up subconsciously and his back straight.

To him, no amount of prominent power or outstanding achievements could compare to what he saw in front of him.

Seeing with his own eyes the students he has trained, heading towards their bright future under the spotlight, practicing the justice that belongs to them... This is the greatest gratification for him as a chief instructor.

A group of training camp students stood under the high platform, lined up according to their seats, and climbed onto the high platform one after another under the watchful eyes of everyone.

First up is Kuzan.

He walked up to the high platform, yawned and raised his hand to salute the former admiral in front of him.

"Teacher Zefa."

Zefa glared at him angrily and lowered his voice:

"Boy Kuzan, please wake up. This is a live broadcast for the whole world! There are still so many news media here!"

Kuzan scratched his head and said feebly:

"But Teacher Zefa, Darren is not here, and I can't keep my spirits up."

A few black lines appeared on Zefa's forehead, and his smile became a little stiffer.

He resisted the urge to get angry, took a brand new navy cloak from the guard's hands, maintained the seriousness on his face, and said loudly:

"Captain Kuzan of the Navy Headquarters, performed outstandingly and had outstanding strength in the defense of Marinevando."

"On behalf of the Navy Headquarters, I grant you the rank of Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters."

He put on Kuzan the cloak of justice that represented the authority of the major general of the headquarters, looked at the sleepy young man in front of him with burning eyes, and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Major General Kuzan."

"Now, briefly express your thoughts to the colleagues present."

Kuzan rubbed his eyes, turned and walked to the microphone.

Compared with the solemn atmosphere of the scene, he looked a little out of place with his eyes half closed and lazily.

Facing the expectant eyes below, Kuzan scratched his head in boredom.

At this time Zefa suddenly took a step closer and said in his ear:

"Darren will be here soon. Think carefully and don't lose to him."

Upon hearing these words, Kuzan's eyes suddenly lit up.

His whole temperament suddenly changed, and his eyes seemed to be ignited with surging flames.

Then,

He suddenly raised his hand, made a "yeah" gesture to everyone below, and laughed loudly:

"Yes, I am Darren's 'lifelong rival'... Kuzan!!"

"Just watch with your eyes wide open! I will definitely not lose to him!!"

Immediately he remembered something and suddenly looked at Garp in the audience.

"Mr. Karp, I heard that you defeated the "Aloof Red" Baloric Redfield, but then refused to be promoted... This is so handsome!!"

"Hahaha...Uh-huh--"

A big hand suddenly covered Kuzan's mouth from behind.

With a livid face, Zefa grabbed his head and dragged him down the stage, kicking his feet around.

Cyborg Kong: "..."

Warring States: "..."

Staff Officer He: "..."

Garp waved at Kuzan and laughed: "Hahahaha, Kuzan boy, you are also very handsome... Hmm, Sengoku, what are you doing!?"

The audience was confused.

A few seconds later.

Zefa, who looked stiff, walked onto the stage again.

Facing countless pairs of strange eyes in the audience, he coughed twice:

"Ahem, next one."

Gion, who was waiting quietly, heard this and stepped onto the high platform in high heels.

With a famous golden sword on his waist, Gion came to Zefa in a heroic manner, raised his hand and saluted:

"Teacher Zefa!"

Zefa laughed with satisfaction.

This is my proud student.

"Lieutenant Colonel Gion of the Navy Headquarters, for your outstanding performance in the defense of Marinefando, and for your excellent academic performance in the training camp... On behalf of the Navy Headquarters, I grant you the rank of Commodore of the Navy Headquarters!"

As he spoke, Zefa put on a commodore's navy cloak for Gion.

Gion salutes again.

He turned around and came to the microphone and said briefly:

“All glory to justice.”

Bang bang bang bang...

The painting style returned to normal, and the applause sounded like thunder.

The atmosphere at the venue became lively again, as if the weird thing just now had never happened.

Seeing this scene, Zefa, Warring States and other senior naval officers all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, it really deserves to be Gion."

"Whether it is talent, strength or charm, they are all so outstanding."

"Xiaohe, your sister is indeed very outstanding."

they said with a smile, looking happy.

But they were happy too early.

Because before Gion could finish speaking, a figure in the audience could not wait to step onto the high platform.

Jiaji, who wore flip-flops with toes exposed, big pants, a brown hat, and a toothpick biting at the corner of his mouth, stood in front of Zefa with arrogance as if he was not acquainted with his relatives.

Zefa's mouth twitched.

Looking at the eager Jiaji in front of him, he didn't know why he always had some not-so-good premonitions.

The three people in the audience, Gang Gu Kong, Seng Guo and He, were even more frightened.

"Teacher Zefa!"

Jiaji gave a crooked military salute.

As if to attract the attention of everyone present, his voice was deliberately loud.

Zefa:......

He took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face.

"Yeah, very energetic."

Immediately he looked at everyone in the audience and said loudly:

"Additionally, the Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, for his outstanding performance in the defense of Marinevando, was awarded the rank of Commodore of the Navy Headquarters!"

Zefa quickly put on the cloak for Jiaji and lowered his voice:

"Time is limited, Jiaji boy, you don't need to make any remarks..."

However, before he could finish his words, Jiaji had already rushed to the microphone with a whoosh.

Astonishingly, it is a high-speed movement technique of the Navy's Sixth Form that is close to the secret level - "Shaving"!

Zefa:......

Facing the countless gazes and cameras and video calls below, Jiaji's face gradually turned red, and he was so excited that his whole body was shaking.

Stay calm and look cool, this is your best chance... The whole world is watching you, Jiajie!

This is your best chance to overpower Darren! !

He shouted crazily in his heart, pretending to be cool and handsome on the surface, putting his hands in his pockets, keeping his voice deliberately low, and facing the microphone with what he thought was a handsome smile, and said:

"Hello everyone, yes, I am the genius of this department!"

"Yes, I believe many of you have heard of my name... I am a being in the navy who can rival the "monsters". I am the future admiral, and I am the future of justice!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

He put his hands on his hips and laughed triumphantly. His eyes suddenly caught sight of many women among the crowd in the distance. He quickly rolled his eyes, shook his hair and added:

"By the way, let me tell you some good news, I am still a golden bachelor."

"So, those single ladies, um, and lonely ladies, if you are interested in my perfect and strong body, please feel free to contact me."

"What I do best is caring for people."

"My phone number is—"

boom! !

A huge black fist hit him hard in the face, sending Jia Ji flying hundreds of meters like a cannonball.

Under the bright sunshine, accompanied by Jiaji's tragic wail, a bloody broken tooth fell from mid-air to the ground with a clanking sound.

"Teacher Zefa, don't be impulsive!"

"Teacher Zefa, calm down!"

"Teacher Zefa..."

"..."

The marines responsible for maintaining order in the audience hugged the furious and roaring Zefa tightly.
