chapter 87
Most of the day passed.
Adam Rice took a sleep, put on a new clean navy uniform, and came to the school field of the headquarters in high spirits.
At this time, there were already many navy trainee on the school grounds practicing and exercising Rokushiki.
Adam Rice also saw many familiar figures.
For example, Momonga who practice swordsmanship with their heads closed, and madly swing their swords towards the wooden pile and make a sharp whistling sound.
Mole who let others beat his body with wooden sticks and iron plates, grinning and gnashing his teeth in pain, trying to learn iron,
Stamping on the ground at an astonishing speed, sometimes disappearing in place and then unable to control the speed of shaving, slamming into the wall and smashing the head of the burning mountain...
Everyone was working hard and sweating profusely.
Since seeing Adam Rice learn Rokushiki with their own eyes yesterday, the trainee have been suffocating in their hearts.
Although this strong contrast will make people very frustrated, they are all elite navy carefully selected by the headquarters, and such setbacks cannot completely knock them down.
On the contrary, it stimulated their hearts of victory and defeat even more, making them gnashing their teeth and training harder.
And Adam Rice also saw Gion training quietly not far away.
Compared with other people, her talent is obviously higher than that of others. In just one day, she has almost mastered the introductory know-how of Rokushiki.
"This is the future of the Navy..."
A low, old voice sounded beside him, which surprised Adam Rice slightly.
He turned his head, and Zephyr's face with a proud smile came into view.
It feels so bad.
A flash of displeasure flashed through Adam Rice's heart.
He couldn't detect when Zephyr silently appeared beside him.
If Zephyr was his enemy and his target was himself, it would be terrifying.
It was only then that Adam Rice discovered how far he was from the top powerhouses in this sea.
And he also realized how much luck he had in his shot against Roger that day.
"What's wrong?"
Zefa was naturally keenly aware of the change in Adam Rice's eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said:
"You are already very strong, look at your colleagues, most of them are still studying how to master Rokushiki..."
Adam Rice shook his head disapprovingly and said softly:
"I'm different fromm them."
"Everyone has a different path. If you measure yourself by others' standards, you will never be the strongest in your life."
Zephyr stared at Adam Rice with interest and asked curiously:
"So your goal is to be the strongest?"
Adam Rice's face with sword eyebrows and star eyes showed confidence and arrogance, and said lightly:
"There is always someone who will win, why not me?"
Zeohyr was stunned when he heard the words.
The words that Adam Rice said casually reverberated in his mind over and over again.
On his face, a warm and mellow smile like liquor gradually appeared on his face.
"I see······"
He looked at Adam Rice and said with emotion:
"Sometimes I really don't understand where your insecurities come from..."
"You frantically managed North sea to be monolithic, and you kept holding the power tightly in your hands..."
"The pursuit of strength is like a madman."
"Adam Rice, what are you worried about?"
"You are now the elite of the navy headquarters, the student of this old man, and a new star who will inevitably become the mainstay of the navy in the future."
"You are in the safest place on this sea, and the navy is the most powerful military organization on this sea..."
"You are no longer the navy of North sea who had to climb out of the mud and blood."
Adam Rice was silent.
For what?
He looked at Zefa's worried expression,
"Teacher Zefa, as I said just now, everyone's path is different."
"You don't have to impose your thoughts on me, and I won't be what you imagined in your mind to shoulder justice upright."
"That kind of thing is too heavy."
Zephyr was stunned for a while, and said with some doubts:
"Do you want to be a hero?"
Adam Rice suddenly sneered,
"Heroes are always synonymous with tragedy."
"Teacher Zephyr, I advise you not to be deceived by the so-called noble word "hero"."
"People are stupid and ignorant."
"Humans are born with malice."
"When humans rely on heroes, and one day the hero gets tired and wants to take a break, humans will start to scold you."
"I wouldn't do such a thankless thing."
"If you want to be a hero, be yourself."
talking, talking,
He looked at the old man in front of him with an imperceptible pity in his eyes.
Is Zephyr a hero?
of course.
Even with the idea that Adam Rice scoffs at "heroes", he has to admit that the man Zefa is indeed a great hero.
He spent his entire life in the military and made a brilliant career for the navy.
Countless battles, countless exploits, and countless injuries.
He single-handedly nurtured the golden generation of the Navy, and future generals such as Sakazuki, Kuzan and Borsalino were his students.
Peach and plum are all over the world, and it is no longer suitable to describe him.
But what about the end?
However, he ended up with a tragic end in a foreign land.
The golden generation of the navy he cultivated with all his hard work,
Buried him with his own hands.
This is what happens to the hero.
Adam Rice understood a truth early on.
He climbed up step by step from the crack and the bottom layer, and he had already seen the truth of this world.
what reputation,
What a hero's title,
It's all bullshit.
Only the power, strength, and wealth that you hold in your hands are the unbreakable truths!
Zephyr listened to Adam Rice's words quietly, and was speechless for a while.
He sighed in his heart, but he smiled and said:
"Let's go."
Adam Rice wondered:
"Set off?"
"Isn't the special training in the military school?"
Zephyr shook his head and smiled meaningfully:
"Don't you want to hide your true strength as much as possible?"
"Moreover, the conditions required for special training are also lacking here."
Adam Rice thought for a while after hearing the words, and nodded.
Zephyr trustable.
