Chapter 56 Daily life
Vic was the first one to finish today. He quickened his pace and arrived at Andrew's office when the others were tired as dogs.
Andrew has prepared the teaching materials for all the courses in advance. This is what the new recruits need to learn, and there will be in-depth learning later.
However, it is conducted after graduation from the recruit camp. Vic doesn't really want to understand it, but the technology in this world is very different, so he is still a little interested. He can ask for some more professional books to read later.
There are several famous scientists in this world. They all have some unique technologies. If you have the chance, you can visit them, especially the mysterious Vegapunk.
"Let's go, Instructor Andrew!"
Vic left under Andrew's complicated gaze. He took all the books back to the dormitory, and then took a random book to the classroom.
It mainly wanted to see which class it was assigned to. Whether it was doing exercises or standing in line in the future, it couldn't be too unique. It should be one person in a team. There was no need to attract so much attention. It should focus on cultivation.
"The new class? I'm in the same class with Rebecca. I wonder how strong these classmates are!"
Vic found his class and looked around.
The students in his class are the strongest, and there are also several users with devil fruit abilities, but he is not aware of this at the moment.
Vic walked into the classroom, found a seat and started reading.
Rebecca soon came to the classroom and sat next to Vic.
"Take a look at the schedule and choose the subjects you want to study as soon as possible. Then you can go to class according to the schedule. The rest of the time you can go to the forest to practice."
After Vic finished his instructions, he buried his head in reading. He came here to check on the class in the first place, and now he was too lazy to go back, so he decided to finish reading the book first.
Vic took the wrong textbook. The first lesson was about the system structure of the navy, which was the origin of all subjects.
Vic got a general idea and buried himself in the book. Smoker had told him some of these things before, so there was no need to go into too much depth.
"Rebecca, I'm leaving now. Take all the courses and see which one you like best!"
After the first class, Vic finished reading the book in his hand. After class, he said hello to Rebecca and went straight back to the dormitory.
I took a few books and walked straight through the forest to the beach. There was no change in the trees yesterday. It would probably take a few days to finish this, and the construction of the wooden house would also be postponed.
Vic wants to use these few days to finish his studies!
"I have to finish reading all the textbooks, and then I will focus on training and guiding Rebecca. I can occasionally challenge Instructor Zefa and learn his actual combat skills. The most important task is to awaken the Armament Haki, which cannot be shaken."
Vic put aside his thoughts and started reading. The weather was good and the sun was bright. Vic sat under the shade of a tree, flipping through the book silently.
He also restrained his Observation Haki. Occasionally, there were the sounds of birds singing, insects chirping, and waves hitting the shore, and Vic became completely quiet.
When Rebecca came to see Vic, Vic had already finished reading two books.
"How's it going, Rebecca, have you found something you're interested in?"
“There are too few courses and I haven’t found one yet!”
"Okay, take your time, don't worry, I'm here!"
Seeing Rebecca coming over, Vic knew it was almost time to cook, so he asked a few simple questions.
Vic took off his weights and shirt and went into the water. Today he encountered another sea king that he had never seen before. When Vic came ashore, Rebecca had already made preparations and had built a fire.
After Vic prepared the ingredients, he started to grill. Now, since there are no conditions, he can only eat barbecue. Once the wooden house is built, he can have more variety.
"Rebecca, you can't neglect your training. When you have nothing to do, you can cover your eyes and concentrate on feeling the changes around you. This will be very helpful for awakening your observation Haki!"
"Really? I'll try it when I get back!" Rebecca really yearns for the Observation Haki.
After Vic cleared out all the food, he began to sit cross-legged in meditation, concentrating his mind to feel the changes in his body, especially the changes in his stomach. He wanted to extend the life returned to his stomach to his entire body, which would be helpful for feeling the domineering power within the cells.
......
Two days later, Cap came to see Vic at the recruit barracks.
"I'm going to go out to sea on a mission, so you should study hard in the recruit camp, hahahaha!"
Cap didn't say anything about what Vic did in the boot camp. He thought it was normal and that a genius didn't need to follow a routine.
"Vice Admiral Garp, when you go out to sea, keep an eye out for some rare metals to bring back. I'll buy them with money."
"Okay, but I will check the results of your practice when I come back. Don't be lazy, hahaha." After saying this, Karp laughed and left.
Vic knew that Cap just wanted to beat him up, but he also wanted to improve his combat skills, and fighting against such a person would be beneficial, so he would not refuse.
During this period, Smoker and Tina also came here once. They knew that Vic had a base on the beach and were curious why Vic didn't live in the dormitory area.
"I'm hated for cooking in the dormitory just to entertain you two, and I'm punished by the instructor. It's better to be free at the beach and do whatever you want."
Anyway, he didn't need to go to class, so the two of them couldn't find him in the dormitory later, so he came here and treated them to a sea king meal. They both enjoyed the meal very much.
Vic also let Rebecca and Tina compete with each other. The two were evenly matched. Rebecca couldn't break Tina's iron cage, and Tina couldn't catch Rebecca who was faster.
The two were in a stalemate, fighting back and forth, but in the end, Tina had more practical experience and had a slight advantage.
Vic asked Tina to come and practice with Rebecca often in the future, and there would be delicious food after the practice. Tina readily agreed.
Smoker was a little depressed why Vic didn't invite him. He could also come to practice with him. Then Vic asked who he was practicing with, and Smoker just looked at him without saying anything.
Vic said helplessly: "You are a rubbish nature type, you are useless as a sparring partner. You can only hide and can't do anything, right? When I awaken the Armament Haki, you will be a one-punch guy. You should hurry up and improve your strength, otherwise you will always be beaten by others."
Vic's words are double-edged. You will be on your knees in the future. If you don't work hard when you are young, you will be beaten when you are old.
Vic still agrees with Smoker's concept of justice. He is not as absolutely just as Akainu, who cannot distinguish right from wrong and does not even spare his own people.
Akainu has not yet become an admiral and does not have that much power. He is still serving as the base commander in the New World.
In Vic's opinion, absolute justice is to use any means necessary.
Victor guessed that Akainu just had a grudge against pirates. Either he had been hurt by pirates, or his family had been hurt.
Just like Zephyr who came later, he wanted to destroy the entire New World and would not spare pirates or civilians. Akainu was actually the same, except that he was not as extreme as Zephyr.
What he did was more covert, he was carrying out revenge under the guise of justice. Justice is meant to protect civilians. But you say that in order to eliminate pirates, the sacrifice of civilians is worth it?
Vic thought of Akainu from Smoker, then of Zephyr, and finally of the word justice, those were the two words that were carried on the backs of the navy admirals.
It seems to be just two words, but there are too many people who carry them, and how many truly understand its meaning? Some people carry them but oppress civilians and squeeze the wealth. Such people are worse than pirates.
Vic was also thinking about what kind of mentality he should have when he boarded the warship and became the supreme commander on the warship?
Vic thinks that the "evil" on the sea is just a surface phenomenon. Even if it is all eliminated, the "evil" will continue to grow from the dark land!
To eliminate "evil", we must deprive "evil" of its soil, otherwise it will only be superficial comfort.
Vic's current ability is not enough to make the dark soil disappear, he can only redress the injustice he sees.
……
"Rebecca, the cabin has been built. You can move your things over and live here from now on."
"Ok!"
"Rebecca, it's been a week. Have you decided on your career?"
"I choose Navigator!"
"Not bad, keep working on it! Now let's practice."
A week passed, Vic had finished reading all the books, the cabin was built, and the furniture and kitchen utensils in the cabin were in place.
Vic also buried some of the rare metals he collected next to the cabin, ready to dig up when needed.
"During this period, I went to fight Zefa again and felt the effect of domineering aura on my body again. However, I tried to use strong faith to command those black particles to prevent and resist, but the effect was minimal. Only my practical skills improved a little."
"I also learned the Storm Kick, which is also a skill related to speed. Once you know the technique, you can learn it after a few tries. It's pretty simple."
At this moment, Vic was thinking about what he had gained in the past few days.
Although Vic has not awakened his Armament Haki now, he is not discouraged. He awakened his Observation Haki more than a year ago. He has the power of his mind to meet the requirements, and Armament Haki also needs to be driven by the mind.
It can be said that both of them have the same supervisor, but their positions are different. Now only the Observation Haki listens to the supervisor, while the Armament Haki ignores the supervisor, so the supervisor must become strong himself.
Vic has been practicing Observation Haki for such a long time that his mental power has become even stronger, and it is only a matter of time before he awakens his Armament Haki.
After some contemplation, Vic began his daily training with Rebecca.
He blindfolded Rebecca, then moved around, swung his sword, and punched, allowing Rebecca to feel the fluctuations.
This is the starting course that Vic gave Rebecca for awakening her Observation Haki.
Vic now keeps his eyes closed most of the day, releasing his Observation Haki to sense the outside world.
His use of Observation Haki has now reached mastery, and his battle with Zephyr is also a way to temper his Observation Haki.
