Chapter 18 This grudge, I, Gion, have written it down!
Seeing the long-legged beauty staring at him, Wood also looked confused.
To be honest, his grades were quite average and he wasn't even ranked as the third child. Even if the girl was very competitive, there was no reason to target her as the fourth child.
However, Wood, whose mental age is much more mature than his physical age, also knows that trying to reason with adolescent girls is just asking for trouble.
And being resented by such a girl will only lead to more troubles, so at this moment Wood also raised his hand and took the initiative to speak: "Instructor, I think what this Gion classmate said is absolutely right.
Actually, all three shots missed the target, so our results should be treated side by side.
Or even put yourself in his shoes, what if the person standing next to the pirate is not a pirate, but a navy who is fighting against the pirates...
So I think my grade should be fifth..., no, tenth, because I hit friendly troops, which was worse than those classmates who didn't shoot."
After all, it's just a ranking in a test. Even if he comes first and there is no bonus to get, it not only eliminates the girl's hatred for him, but also completely conforms to the moderate character design, why not do it?
Wood thinks that he is a mature person and there is no need to be serious with a bunch of brats. Moreover, he has no sense of collective honor for the Navy. He comes here just to get a decent job in the future.
"As an instructor, I am very happy that you can be so strict with yourself, but a test is a test.
The results have actually been announced, so there is no way to change them, and I don’t think my judgment was wrong.”
In formal training, questioning the instructor's judgment is a very disrespectful behavior, and it is not impossible to even get a demerit for it.
Wood didn't have a strong backing like Gion, and he originally thought he would be criticized. However, what he didn't expect was that the colonel instructor seemed to have misunderstood something.
Not only did he not blame Wood, but he looked at Wood with admiration, thinking that Wood would give such a weird example of hitting a friendly force just to be strict with himself...
Then the colonel instructor looked at Gion aside and said to him: "You should learn from Wood. Instead of competing for the dispensable fourth place in front of him, what he thinks about is how to demand himself more strictly.
And when facing his colleagues, he also showed humility. Although your scores in other subjects are quite good, in the battle of character, you almost judge each other."
Hearing the colonel's instructor's words of praise for him, Wood was really confused. Had he considered so many things? Why didn't Wood himself know?
And the instructor, please stop talking... If you continue to talk, not only will you not be able to dispel the girl's hatred for him, but the hatred value will become more and more full!
"Hmph, I don't need your humility, I will surpass you with my own strength.
I, Gion, have recorded this grudge today!"
Wood: "..."
Wood was really tired and felt that there must be something wrong with his opening method.
He is just a fourth child, why is he being targeted even like this? If he had known that this would be the result, he would not have even shot him in the first place...
Marineford, naval school cafeteria
After completing the one-day basic course and secretly finding a place to practice sword swinging a thousand times, Wood came to the cafeteria hungry.
When he left Hongye Island before, Wood's mission of guarding Hongye Island for one year was also completed, and he was rewarded with an opportunity to use the "Life Simulator".
While on the island, Wood had not used it because of his serious injury and because Zefa had been on the same boat.
It has been some time since he came to the Navy Headquarters, and his life has gradually stabilized. Wood plans to find time to conduct his second life simulation tonight.
"That's him, his name seems to be Wood. This kid doesn't look very old..."
"He's not very old, but his gun is very powerful! I heard that his gun hit Gion, and now Gion has promised to remember him."
"Look at how much he eats in one meal. No wonder his gun skills impress Gion. Maybe he is just young, but he is very capable."
Holding a dinner plate in his hand, and filling up several times the normal amount of food for ordinary people, Wood also looked helpless as he listened to the gossip around him.
The navy is also a human being, and they can also gossip, and because the training routine is too boring, the higher-ups are not overly harsh on recruits like them.
The heavy training routine also requires some other things to serve as a break.
Wood has become accustomed to the gossip around him these days. Compared with these talkative guys, Wood knows that the real trouble has not yet come today.
Not long after we sat down to eat, there was a commotion from the crowd in the cafeteria. A guy in his early twenties, who looked quite old and had a squinty smile, appeared among many freshmen.
The young man surrounded by them, named Jiaji, was one year older than Wood and the others, and was also the most outstanding student of their year.
Although Kake is not that good in terms of appearance, since Akainu, Qingzhi and the others left, no matter which subject his performance is, Kake is proud of almost everyone.
We are not students of the same class, and no matter how you look at each other, he is a top student. Generally speaking, it is impossible to communicate with a transparent person like Wood.
But the problem is that the identity of the girl Wood provoked a few days ago is not as simple as Wood imagined!
Gion, if you just listen to the name, some people may not be impressed, including Wood.
But if you tell the other person's nickname in the future, most people will probably have a look of realization on their faces.
"Peach Usagi" was the nickname Gion would have from now on, and Wood finally discovered this matter after some investigation a few days ago.
After offending a girl who seemed to have a good background, Wood naturally conducted a simple investigation in secret due to his cautious character.
And because the colonel instructor in the shooting class admired Wood's character, after Wood expressed that he wanted to know more about Gion and found an opportunity to apologize to him, the examiner readily gave Wood an information sheet about Gion.
If it was the Navy's petty officer information, the other party would naturally not leak it so easily. However, since both Wood and Gion were new recruits, there would be no problem.
And when Wood saw that the other party was actually related to Lieutenant General Tsuru, and that the weapon he was holding was actually the 21-piece Kimbira, he instantly understood Gion's identity.
It is impossible for an ordinary naval recruit to possess such a valuable twenty-one-piece sharp sword, and Wood remembered that there was only one user of the "Kinpila" sword.
