Three years have passed since the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed.
After living on Hongye Island for more than a year, and another year at the Navy Headquarters, Wood is now 18 years old.
According to the results of the second life simulation, in another year and a half, I will be killed by the escaped Golden Lion Shiji.
Compared with myself in the life simulation, now I have not only mastered the "Shaving" and "Moon Step" among the six moves in advance, but I have also awakened the "Seeing, Hearing and Color Haki". It can be said that I am not a little stronger.
However, even so, Wood still does not think that in a year or two, he will be able to face a big boss like Golden Lion Shiji without dying.
So now Wood must change the status quo to ultimately change the course of the future.
At the Naval Academy, the instructor in charge of the basic courses looked at the application submitted by Wood and stamped it with a black stamp of rejection without expression.
"Instructor, why is it rejected! I am just following the normal process, right? My grades at the Naval Academy this year should not be enough to stay and receive training with those elites!"
Looking at the rejected application in front of him, Wood looked puzzled at the naval captain in front of him who had taught him a basic course for one year.
Because he was determined to be a supporting role, Wood's performance this year should not be said to be at the bottom, but he should have been hovering within the elimination line.
Under normal circumstances, he should be able to graduate from the naval school like most other recruits, and then become a glorious naval recruit!
But now, with mediocre grades, he was told that he must stay at the naval academy for another year to undergo advanced training for naval officers.
Could it be that the passing line has been lowered this year? But he clearly saw that the guy in front of him had a score far behind him, but he was still sent to be cannon fodder.
"I followed the normal process. According to the order I received, recruit Wood must undergo another year of training.
If you have any objections to this, you can submit an application to other superiors.
But I advise you not to be ignorant. Being able to stay and train for one more year is something that many people dream of.
You should feel honored to know that this is a treatment only available to the elite navy. Believe me, if you stay here for one more year, although it will be very hard, the things you will learn after that can save you ten years of hard work!"
The colonel officer believed that Wood didn't know the benefits of being left behind, but he couldn't say it clearly and could only give various hints in his words.
However, how could Wood not understand this? The elite navy who were left behind were trained as naval officers. Compared with the ordinary cannon fodder navy, they had to work hard for ten years less.
Although ordinary bastards in the navy can get promotions and salary increases if they perform meritorious service, the elites who are left behind are trained as non-commissioned officers from the beginning, so they have already won at the starting line.
Moreover, ordinary cannon fodder marines are not qualified to learn skills such as "Six Forms of the Navy". Without strong strength, how easy is it to make achievements?
Wood just wanted to play a supporting role inconspicuously, and he wouldn't care about his status as an ordinary cannon fodder in the navy. Anyway, there is no chance of promotion in the future.
As for the Navy Type 6, he had already obtained it from Jiaji in advance. The Navy's petty officer training course was basically no longer attractive to Wood.
What he wants to do now is to change the status quo and make changes in the future, so as to avoid being in the hands of Golden Lion Shi Ji again in a year or two.
"Anyway, I just follow the rules and regulations. You were specifically ordered by the commander to stay and train for one more year."
Seeing Wood's stubborn attitude of insisting on graduating and leaving, the navy captain spread his hands in a rather bachelor manner, expressing that he was powerless.
However, when he heard what the other party said, Wood was stunned on the spot, and secretly figured out who the other party's so-called "chief" was.
The rank of Wood's basic course instructors is already the captain of the navy. Those who can be called officers can only have the rank of general.
As for such people, Wood only knew two, one was Lieutenant General Garp, and the other was General Zefa.
Garp wasn't very familiar with him, so the one who insisted on naming him should be General Zefa.
But this shouldn't be the case. In the past year, Wood has seen General Zefa only a handful of times. Originally, Wood even thought that the other party had forgotten about a little person like him, so why would he pop up at this juncture?
His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and knowing that he couldn't change anything, Wood could only leave in despair, and was prepared to ask Zefa the reason for doing so if he met him again.
The naval captain who watched Wood leave was actually quite puzzled. After getting along for a year, Wood's character was indeed a bit tricky. However, other than that, he didn't have any other characteristics. Why did he get both at the same time?
What about the favor of General Zefa and Lieutenant General He?
Yes, you heard it right, not only Zefa is interested in cultivating Wood, but even Lieutenant General He, the leading female naval general, also spoke for Wood.
If Wood knew about this, he would definitely be extremely surprised, because regardless of Zefa's words, he and He should have never met each other. Why would the other party know him and speak for him?
In Wood's old dormitory, several new recruits who originally lived with him are already packing their luggage.
When they saw Wood coming in, they thought he was also here to pack his luggage, and they were quite interested in asking what unit he was assigned to report to.
"I can't leave. The colonel just informed me that I have to stay here for one more year..."
Hearing Wood's words, the former dorm mates suddenly showed expressions of envy. At the same time, they were quite puzzled. Although Wood's test scores in all subjects were mediocre, he was actually among the so-called elites?
After sending away his roommate who had been with him for a year, Wood was sitting on his bed doubting life. At this moment, a timid-looking white-haired kid at the door was secretly looking into the room.
"Hello, senior, I am Smoker, the new navy recruit reporting here today. Is this dormitory No. 404?"
Looking at the young white-haired boy in front of him, and hearing the name announced by the other party, Wood suddenly showed a stunned look on his face, and unconsciously replied: "Smog? That big smoking smoker?"
"My name is indeed Smoker, but I don't know how to smoke. Does Senior know anyone else named Smoker?"
The white-haired young man in front of him was polite, short, and even a little shy. Even Wood couldn't relate to the rough-looking old smoker in his impression.
