Chapter 68 The coming crisis
Early the next morning, Zefa packed up his things and prepared to go out and head towards the dock of Marineland.
Before leaving, Zefa subconsciously glanced at the asthma inhalers placed on his desk. He wanted to put them into his bag, but as soon as he picked them up, he realized that there was not much powder left in them.
Throwing the almost empty medicine bottle into the trash can, Zefa was thinking about whether he should go to a nearby drugstore to buy a bottle. When he looked up at his watch, he realized that it was not long before departure.
Zefa is a very punctual person. Seeing that it was not long before the gathering time, he shook his head and gave up the idea of buying another bottle.
"It's just an ordinary small-scale assessment. There won't be any problems in just seven days."
With this idea in mind, Zefa stopped worrying about whether to bring medicine or not, and turned around and headed towards the dock.
When they arrived at the dock, the students from the elite battalion had already formed a square formation and were waiting for Zefa's arrival.
Seeing Zefa coming over, Ain, who has a more lively personality, smiled and said:
"Teacher, tell us in advance, what is the goal of this mission?"
Hearing this, the surrounding students also laughed and asked:
"Yes, teacher, tell us quickly."
Listening to the urging of the students, Zefa showed a smile and said:
"It is not a very difficult task. Some time ago, the navy discovered an uninhabited island in the windless zone. There are many ancient creatures on this island.
The navy's scientific force is very interested in the ancient creatures on this island, so it entrusted our elite battalion to help them capture some ancient creatures for use as research objects."
"Science force?"
An elite camp student muttered this name and suddenly said:
"Drake left the elite camp early. It seems that he was transferred to this scientific unit, right?"
Binz on the side heard this and stabbed the other party angrily:
"Are these things something we can discuss carelessly? Drake left the elite camp but went to take charge of secret missions. If he talks nonsense again, he will be liable to a military court."
The student was just thinking that he couldn't get off the stage after being frightened by Binz. At this time, Zefa smiled and gave him a step to get off:
"Okay, just pay attention from now on. The maintenance of the warship over there has been completed. Get ready to board the ship and set off."
While talking, the group of people boarded the warship one after another and headed towards the island they had just discovered.
…………
When Zefa and others took the warship to the windless zone, Seti came to the elite camp alone as usual.
Looking at the few people in the elite camp, Seti couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really deserted."
Hearing this, one of the dozen remaining sophomores in the elite camp smiled and said:
"There is nothing we can do about it. The recruits have all been taken by Teacher Zefa to participate in the assessment. The third-year students are also preparing for their graduation assessments. Naturally, we are the only ones left."
Nodding in response to his words, Seti simply warmed up in the large training ground in the hall and then came to the small training ground inside with ease.
Some time ago, third-year students such as Smoker and Tina would occasionally come here to practice with Seti, but now that Smoker and the others are about to begin their graduation exams, this place has become Seti's personal
territory.
After practicing the six postures for about two hours, Seti, who was covered in sweat, stopped training. While taking a rest, he took out the domineering experience Zefa left for him from his pocket.
I turned the page and read it bit by bit. It was recorded here that all the problems Zefa encountered when he first started to practice domineering. Seti put himself in the place of the original Zefa and read page after page, and found it very interesting.
Just when Seti was looking excited, the door of the small training ground was suddenly pushed open, and at the same time a shy female voice sounded:
"Seti, are you here?"
Being interrupted by the female voice, Seti was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked up and found that the owner of the voice was none other than Baby-5.
"Baby-5, why are you free to come here today? Isn't Lieutenant General He still having training?"
Hearing Seti's voice, baby-5 obviously showed a happy smile, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he pouted and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Didn't I tell you last time when you were discharged from the hospital? I have almost completed the recruit training that Lieutenant General He arranged for me."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Seti but quickly lowered her head and said:
"I came here today just to ask you. In two days there will be a competition for recruits in our headquarters. Can you come and watch my game then...
If, if I can get into the top ten by then, I can join the next elite camp."
When baby-5 said this, her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, but she didn't dare to look at Seti's expression, and just waited quietly for Seti's answer.
But after waiting for a long time, only one sentence came:
"what did you just say?"
Hearing this completely unexpected answer, baby-5's pretty face darkened, but he repeated it again:
"I think I would like to invite you to come watch my game then..."
"No, next sentence!"
I'm thinking that the second half of the sentence isn't the point, right?
Just as baby-5 was complaining in his heart, Seti grabbed baby-5's shoulders and said eagerly:
"You just said that if you get in the top ten, you can become a student in the next elite camp?"
Baby-5 has never seen Seti showing such an anxious look, and he panicked for no reason:
"That's right, what's wrong?"
"Damn it! Is this this time?"
After saying this nonsense, Seti suddenly used his sword, rushed out of the small training ground, grabbed a second-year student who was eating melon quietly with his ears raised, and asked:
"Did Teacher Zefa tell you where the elimination assessment will be held this time?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Seti's reaction. It took a long time for someone to speak uncertainly:
"It seems to be an uninhabited island just discovered in the windless zone."
Upon hearing this, Seti quickly turned around and rushed into Zefa's office, grabbed Zefa's asthma medicine in the office, and then left the elite camp like a gust of wind.
Baby-5's words suddenly reminded him that the incident of Zefa's broken arm in the original work happened in their generation, but Seti had participated in many assessments but never encountered that incident.
Now the list of the next batch of recruits will be finalized in two days, but Zefa still hasn't encountered the broken arm incident.
From this point of view, there are only two possibilities. One is that the emergence of Seti caused a butterfly effect and changed this period of history.
Another possibility is that this incident happened during the last round of testing and assessment!
***The author has something to say***
Regarding the identity of the Shichibukai who cut off Zefa's arm, this book confirms that he is the White II Edward Weeble.
To be honest, because the description of this part in the theatrical version is very vague and there is very little description of Bai II, I can only rely on coconut milk to fill in this part of the plot. Although I have roughly deduced a rough plot, I feel pretty good about it.
I'm not sure if readers will accept it.
Chapter completed!
