Chapter 2 Captain's Invitation
.Because of violating military rules, after the morning duty, Lei Feng had to go to clean the deck. Daim felt ashamed and came to help. The summer was hot and the two of them were sweating after only a while.
"Thank you for helping me out for the sake of me just now... You are amazing!"
Stopped the mop in his hand, Daim said to Lei Feng with a cowardly expression but admiration. Although the two were students of the Naval Academy, they were not familiar with each other. Lei Feng took off his uniform coat and glanced at the cowardly young man and said.
"Nothing, I'm not standing up for you."
Leifon didn't like Daim, especially his personality. Daim obviously noticed this and looked a little disappointed. In fact, he himself knew the reason for being disgusted, but nature cannot be changed easily.
“…What is that?”
Daim's eyes were on Rayphon's left shoulder, where there was a strange palm-sized tattoo. These ink-colored patterns made of horizontal and vertical lines were sonorous and powerful, and looked like some mysterious text.
"This?" Leifon lowered his head in line with Daim's gaze: "Oh, this is a mark, reminding me not to forget something."
"What mark? Is this a kind of text?"
"Yes, can you tell?"
"What kind of text is this? I have never seen it before, can you tell me?!" Daim asked anxiously, seemingly interested in it, but soon he realized his incompetence and hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, if it is **, there is no need to answer."
"It's nothing, it's not **." Lei Feng waved his hand and said, "This is Chinese character, pronounced as 'Yanhuang'." After a pause, he showed a lost expression: "...it's where my soul returns."
"Chinese characters? Yanhuang?...what does it mean?"
Daim didn't understand the uncommon word that Lei Feng said, nor did he understand the meaning of his words. However, seeing Lei Feng's lonely expression on his face, he couldn't help but swallow the problem he had just reached his mouth.
"Sergeant Lei Feng, the captain wants to see you now." A messenger hurriedly ran to the deck, and Lei Feng glanced at him with some surprise.
"The captain wants to see me? I know, I'll go right away."
Although it was a little strange, Lei Feng immediately put down his mop and put on his uniform. Seeing Daim's nervous expression, he nodded to him, and then followed the messenger to the captain's room.
Captain's Outdoor—
"Report! Sergeant Rayvon Li Almark brings it!"
"Very good, please come in."
"Abide by the order!"
After receiving the captain's order, the messenger opened the door for Lei Feng. Lei Feng nodded to him and then walked into the captain's room.
...
...
Although the Typhoon was just an ordinary light cruiser, the luxury and comfort of the captain's room was still far beyond that of the ordinary officer's dormitory. Rayvon's eyes swept through the abstract oil paintings, navigation charts, decorative swords on the walls, and finally stayed on Captain Saab at the desk. Captain Saab was a solid beard. Although he looked old, it was this experienced and experienced that made people feel more reliable.
"Are you calling me? Captain."
“Um…”
Captain Sabo looked up at Lei Feng, with a slight scrutiny in his sharp eyes. Lei Feng stood up straight with a conditioned reflex, looking at him with a gaze of timidity and respect. This is the temperament that every qualified Emperor Di'an should have. Captain Sabo really smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good, I deserve to be an elite of the imperial naval force, very good!" Captain Sabo sincerely praised. In his opinion, although the young man in front of him was still young, his behavior and demeanor all showed maturity and stability that were inconsistent with his age. Combined with his handsome and upright appearance, he was indeed an extremely outstanding young hero.
"You've been awarded."
"Ha... don't be polite, sit down."
"Thank you." Lei Feng said thank you, pulled open the chair beside the desk and sat down. Captain Sabo lazily leaned on his wide-back chair, looking at him with interest:
"You have been on this ship for a month, how about you? Do you like this Typhoon?"
"Yes, I'm very satisfied. The Typhoon is an excellent warship. Captain Sabo's famous name is well known in the Naval Academy."
Rayvon was not flattering Captain Sabo, but stating the facts. Three years ago, because of the ownership of an island, the Zeon Empire Navy had a conflict with the world's largest naval power, the Aozi Federal Empire Navy. In this naval battle, Captain Sabo was commanding the Typhoon and sank a main cruiser with his contact wisdom and courage. This legendary battle made his name forever remembered in the glorious history of the Imperial Navy. Every student who graduated from the Navy Academy had no reason not to know his name.
"Haha, that's nothing." Captain Sabo smiled conceitably, as if the outstanding naval battle was just a small thing that could not be smaller.
"I saw what happened in the morning. The 'newcomer was bullied' is the same everywhere. But the result is a bit unexpected. Are you good at it and you learn to fight?"
"Yes, I passed the Level 4 assessment in the capital last year."
"Level 4!" Captain Sabo looked at Lei Feng in surprise. This was another answer that he expected. As a very profound combat skill, the difficulty of practicing Dou Qi is well known, especially the effort and patience required for cultivation often make many people with weak will unable to persevere.
"At your age, such achievements are indeed outstanding." Captain Sabo exclaimed with emotion, and then he asked again: "Your surname is Almark, are you a noble family?"
(Almark is a place name. According to the ancient tradition of the Zeon Empire, only the surnames of the nobles can be used.)
"My father is a second-class hereditary baron in the Empire."
"Oh~" Captain Saber nodded. The second-class baron was only a very small title. He had never heard of it before: "So you are not the eldest son?"
"Yes, I have an older brother."
The law of the Zeon Empire stipulates that the title of hereditary aristocrats can only be inherited by the eldest son. The reason why Lei Feng joined the army was largely to seek a good future. After all, in this vigorous era of great development, it is easier to make a name for himself in the military, and he likes to wander and the sea.
"Oh, that's it..." Captain Sabo nodded again, thinking of his youth, Lei Feng was undoubtedly very similar to him at that time, so he enthusiastically encouraged: "But this is also a good opportunity. Young people should work hard and create a future with their own hands. Compared to relying on their parents' blessing, this is the path that Zeon men should choose!"
"You are right, thank you." Lei Feng smiled frankly and accepted the captain's kindness. Then, he asked curiously: "Is the captain the same thing?"
"Yeah~ I'm almost the same. I haven't inherited my father's title, so I'm still a colonel at this age." He smiled mockingly, then turned his head to look at his epaulette: "I wonder if I will be promoted to general when I'm too old to move?"
"It will definitely be." Lei Feng said affirmatively, and Captain Sabo laughed heartily: "Haha, I accept your noble words."
The atmosphere of the conversation gradually became calmer with the laughter, and the two casually talked about some ordinary topics. Captain Sabo talked about the happiness of his family, and his face couldn't help but show a glimmer of satisfaction.
"Speaking of it, my daughter is about the same age as you. She is gentle and beautiful like her mother. Since she turned sixteen, countless people have come to ask for marriage every year. Young man, are you interested? I can introduce you to her, her name is Judy." Captain Sabo showed off proudly, not at all aware of the increasingly awkward expression on Rayphon's face.
"Mr. Sabo, I appreciate your kindness, but I already have a fiancée, I'm sorry..."
"What!? You're trapped!?" Captain Sabo stared at Lei Feng with an incredible look, and then his expression turned into deep sympathy: "What a poor little guy, you're still so young."
"..." Lei Feng stared at Captain Sabo silently until Captain Sabo turned away with awkward expression. Then he stood up and saluted the captain.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I still have a job, so I'll leave first."
"Haha~ Forget it, go!" Captain Sabo smiled strangely and waved his hand. He couldn't help laughing out loud after Lei Feng walked out of the room.
"A young man after all."
