Chapter 20 An Opportunity!
After leaving Dalmesia's office, Leifa was puzzled. "There are clearly two cups of tea on the table, and they are still steaming. It is very likely that the instructor Zefa is still there... But why did he avoid it? Even if I saw him there, it would not matter, right?" As soon as he entered the office, Leifa glanced around and did not find the second person, but he noticed the two steaming cups of tea on Dalmesia's desk. If he guessed correctly, the second cup of tea should belong to the 'black-armed' Zefa. But he couldn't figure out why Zefa avoided it if he was really there. Was it just to let Dalmesia teach him a lesson? Leifa thought about it, but there was no very reasonable explanation. He could only put this matter aside for the time being. Anyway, there were too many things that he couldn't figure out, and there was no need to entangle it. After leaving the youth training camp, Leifa saw the little girl Tina who was looking forward to it, looking over here. When she saw Leifa coming out safely, she rushed over in surprise! "Brother Leifa, are you okay?"
Leifa patted her little head and said with a smile, "Of course I'm okay."
"I thought Teacher Dalmesia would punish you." Tina said embarrassedly.
"No, don't worry." Leifa smiled.
At this time, several people walked quickly towards this side.
"Leifa, you are so brave, how come I didn't realize that you are so crazy!" Berigud stopped in front of Leifa and looked him up and down like a monster.
"It's good that you are okay." Drake, who followed closely, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Leifa was not surprised that these two roommates would wait for him, but Leifa didn't expect that the other person who stayed to wait for him was another roommate who rarely said anything and always looked cold-hearted-Xuen.
Seeing Leifa coming out, Xiuen nodded to him.
Lei Fa also nodded back at him, then said with a smile, "Thank you for worrying about me. It's a good holiday. Let's go. I'll treat you today and take you to a good meal!"
"I've been waiting for you to say this!" Berry Goode was beaming with joy.
"I'm not familiar with where to find good food in Marinford. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with it." Drake also agreed with a smile.
As for the little girl Tina, she continued to play the role of a little follower, so how could she refuse.
"Xiun, you should come too. It's just a meal. It'll be quick." Seeing Xiuen's hesitation, Lei Fa said to him directly.
"Okay." Xiuen thought about it and didn't continue to refuse.
So, several people followed Lei Fa's footsteps in a hurry.
The holiday time passed quickly, and soon the youth training camp entered the second month of training and teaching.
Compared to the first month, the training in the second month was obviously more.
However, the trainees gradually adapted to this rhythm. Although there were hardships and fatigue, the gains were also great, so no one chose to give up halfway.
On the other hand, Dalmesia not only invited Zefa to teach a class every week, but also invited many naval generals to give these teenagers some special lessons in a targeted manner.
For example, the first swordsmanship class of the youth training camp was taught by Dalmesia's senior brother, the current major general of the Navy Headquarters - Ghost Spider!
Like Dalmesia, Ghost Spider is also a disciple of Zefa, but he is better at using swords than Dalmesia, while Dalmesia has a deeper attainment in close combat.
And this is just one example. It can be said that Dalmesia has indeed spent a lot of thought on this group of teenagers.
…
Time in training always passes very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it has been almost half a year since the start of the youth training camp, and there is only half a year left until the end.
This morning, Dalmesia blew the wake-up whistle as usual.
The teenagers quickly came to the playground. It took less than two minutes for them to gather on the playground and start counting one by one.
Compared to when they first entered the youth training camp, it was like a complete transformation.
Seeing this, Dalmessia nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "From today on, you no longer need to attend classes, because at this stage, you have basically learned and mastered everything you should learn in the past six months... What is needed next is your own practice and hard work. I can't tell how far you can go in the future."
Dalmessia's words immediately caused an uproar. No one would have thought that he would suddenly announce the end of all courses at this time, because according to what they learned when they joined the youth training camp, the complete cycle of the youth training camp should be one year.
Therefore, someone soon asked.
Dalmesia had anticipated this and explained, "The full cycle of the youth training camp is indeed one year, and finishing all the courses now is not a temporary change of mind. This is a process that was arranged long before you joined."
"Because in the next six months, you will be assigned to various branches and garrison areas as naval miscellaneous soldiers for a period of six months... After six months, if you are safe, you will reunite here again, and I will evaluate your performance in the past six months on behalf of the headquarters and give you corresponding military ranks according to your merits."
"Yes, you heard it right. When you walk out of this youth training camp, it means that you are already a glorious navy, and the rank you will receive depends entirely on your performance in the next six months!"
Hearing Dalmesia's words, many people below became excited.
Hasn't the hard work and fatigue of the past six months for the sake of making a splash in the future?
Now that they have such an opportunity to prove themselves in advance, of course they are excited!
"Teacher, may I ask what this performance specifically refers to?" Lei Fa below suddenly asked.
Dalmesia was also prepared for this question, and answered without hesitation, "Of course it is a comprehensive consideration of many aspects, such as the evaluation of you by the heads of various branches or resident stations, and the contributions you have made during this period, etc."
"So, arresting bounty criminals can also be considered?" Lei Fa asked thoughtfully, rubbing his chin with his hand.
"Of course." Dalmessia first confirmed the problem with Lei Fa, but then glared, "However, I want to remind you that bounty hunters are not a joke!"
"I know some of you are very confident in your own strength, but if you really want to catch bounty hunters, it is not the same as your usual sparring with each other. If you are not careful, you will be killed by those people without hesitation! I don't want you to get too excited in order to make meritorious deeds and do things beyond your ability. Do you understand?!"
When Dalmessia said this last sentence, his eyes were mainly on the most active people in the youth training camp.
