Chapter 221: The bond between teachers and students
Yamos and Kuzan also arrived at the volcano, but like Portes, they did not rush up to intercept it.For now, the situation has not reached a critical point.If Zefa were to detonate the explosive rock later, it would not be too late for them to take action before Kizaru came over.
"Where's Portes?" Kuzan looked around, but didn't see Portes coming out of nowhere to stop Zefa.
"That guy is nesting over there." Yamos used his perception ability to easily find where Portes was hiding. "He is observing Zefa and should be gone soon. Although this guy has a lazy personality, When I get serious, I won’t be indifferent anymore.”
As Yamos expected, Portes appeared soon after.
His appearance initially alerted the soldiers, thinking that a naval pursuit had arrived.Even Ain and Binz immediately protected Zefa and killed him one by one.
"Everyone stop it," Zefa said.
Suddenly, everyone stopped.
Portus also ignored the hundreds of black guns pointed at him, and walked towards Zefa with a smile: "Old man, you are fine."
"You kid." Zefa quickly locked his eyes on Portes' broken arm, "What's going on?"
"I don't have any money when I go out. I gamble with others. If I lose the bet and have no money, I mortgage my arm." Portus is very smooth in making up lies. Either he usually talks like this, or he has already expected Zefa's return. Ask questions and think about how to respond in advance.
"Stop being so harsh." Zefa's smile slowed down. Seeing the students who used to follow him reduced to such a state, the pain that he didn't want to feel reappeared in his heart, "Is it worth it?"
Portus curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Old man, why do you still like to expose my shortcomings and dismantle me as before?"
When Portus was complaining, he had already walked up to Zefa.Zefa, who was usually the most unruly, hugged him, catching Portus off guard: "I"
At this moment, Portus's eyes were filled with tears. He shook his head hurriedly and covered his eyes with his hair that had not been trimmed for a long time. Then he pushed Zefa away and staggered back a few steps: "Don't Is it okay to make it so sad? You know I don’t like this kind of atmosphere.”
Zefa was a little excited and panting slightly. He took out the medicine bottle and took a sip, and quickly recovered.Just looking at Portes, his eyes showed a rare softness.Perhaps Portus was the only student alive for whom he felt guilty.
Ain and Binz ordered other soldiers to continue planting explosive rocks.
Zefa and Portes faced each other four or five meters apart.
"I ruined you." Zefa said.
In order to avenge him, Portus left the navy and hunted Weibull for seven or eight years. In the end, he lost an arm. His life had fallen into the abyss because of this series of events.
"It's you who made me what I am." Portus raised his head and said in an unquestionable tone.
Zefa looked at Portes silently.
"If it weren't for you, I might have died in the sea as a third-class Marine a long time ago." Portus couldn't hide his tears. He simply closed his eyes, "Old man, I don't know You have such a bad memory, can you still remember those years? It must have been more than 20 years ago. I was only [-] or [-] years old. I was lucky enough to be promoted to the headquarters from a remote place like Sihai. I was always at the bottom and was always the object of ridicule by my classmates."

"Seymour, you are still reading comics. Could it be that you want to take the exam all by asking us for cheat sheets? How can the theory class pass with our compassionate help? Your physical skills are not very good either."
In the general classroom of the Naval Academy, a group of students sat in their seats and chatted away.The annual exam is coming soon, and everyone is nervous and excited.
The school has three levels of examinations, namely weekly examinations, monthly examinations, and annual examinations, to measure the overall performance of students.Among them, the annual examination is the most important, because after graduation, the department will refer to the students' annual examination results to arrange positions and military ranks.
If your grades are very poor, you may have to start at the rank of lieutenant. If you are excellent, you may even be directly promoted to a school-level officer.This greatly shortens the promotion time and makes the future life full of considerable opportunities.
"So what?" Facing other students, Seymour disagreed and looked at the thin young man in the corner of the classroom. "Isn't there also Portus? Even if I close my eyes, I won't get the last place."
"Seymour, do you actually want to compare with that idiot? Hahaha. Judging from the fact that he has ranked last in the weekly and monthly exams this year, even if he can graduate successfully, he will probably make an exception and become the first person to graduate from the military academy. You’re going to be a waste who was assigned to be a private soldier after graduation,” someone laughed.
The taunting continued, but Portes in the corner had no rebuttal.In the year since he entered the Naval Academy, he has become accustomed to such ridicule.
He was just a handyman in the original branch. It was the son of the branch leader who was selected to be promoted to the headquarters. The son of the branch leader did not want to go to the headquarters. He just wanted to be a local emperor in the sea area ruled by his father and do whatever he wanted. So I put Portes on top.
After Porters, who had never eaten anything delicious before, entered the naval academy, he looked at the various delicacies in the cafeteria eagerly, swallowed his saliva and had no money to buy them. He even asked the cafeteria master if he could just buy a steamed bun.
He was only responsible for sweeping floors in the branch for several years, but it actually took him 1000 minutes to run 5 meters, which was a full minute and a half behind the second place.
His classmates called him country bumpkin, waste, and beggar. He was so weak that he couldn't even resist.
Soon, it was exam time.The first section exam tests theory, so it is taken in the classroom.Originally they thought that the teacher who took their theory class would come to invigilate the exam, but they didn't expect Zefa to come.
Seeing Zefa, many people could not help but widen their eyes and exclaim.
Teacher Zefa is a frequent visitor to Class Zero and Monster Class. It’s good to show up twice a week in their regular classes. Why would Teacher Zefa be the invigilator for today’s theory test? This would be such a waste of resources.
"Are you waiting for this?" Zefa came straight to the podium, raised a stack of test papers in his hand, and within three seconds he tore the test papers in half and threw them into the trash can, "There is no exam today. .”
Facing Zefa, the students had many thoughts, but no one dared to speak.Unscrupulous people all have talents, and they are all in class zero.
"I heard that your class is ranked last in the whole grade." Zefa is at a high-spirited age and always receives envious looks from others.
Seymour said angrily: "It's because Portus's grades are so bad. Otherwise, even if our class doesn't get first place, it won't be at the bottom of the ordinary class."
When he said this, he completely forgot about the fact that he was second to last and was also holding back the entire class.
Zefa just glanced at Seymour, and then glanced at the whole class: "In what I just said, I never said that you were in a regular class. I dare to guarantee that any teacher in this school has never said that. You are in the ordinary class. But just now, you admitted that you were in the ordinary class, admitted that you were ordinary people, and admitted that you were in the lower monster class. The nickname of the ordinary class was given by you."
Seymour realized that he might have said the wrong thing, and his heart was beating fast, fearing that Zefa would punish him.
"If you all admit that you are just an ordinary person, then the pinnacle of your life will probably be as high as you stand on tiptoe and raise your arms." Zefa said.His tone was not harsh, but it was not gentle either. He just deliberately said such annoying things in a gloating manner, "That's the limit for ordinary people like you. You are too lazy to try to jump up or look for high ground."
Still no student dared to say anything. The biggest difference from the monster class was this.The people in the monster class are rebellious and dare to say anything. Zefa likes such people, but seeing these people who are afraid of him, he is full of doubts about whether these people can devote their lives to protect civilians in the future. Suspect.
"You are saying that Bo Tesla lowered the grades of your class. I have some impressions of this brat. He seems to be the unprecedented No. 1 in the Naval Academy." Zefa changed the subject, "But it's better than you guys. No matter how you put it, it has completely refreshed the last record of our school. In addition, it seems that it will firmly maintain its position for at least the next 20 years."
Zefa is now 51 years old, nine years have passed since the death of his family.The pain has been healed somewhat, and he has entered the peak period of his strength.Now is his best and most glorious period. He has no worries. He is at ease in the naval academy and has found a career worthy of dedicating his life.
Hearing Zefa's joking words, some students suppressed laughter and secretly looked at Portes.
"That's really good." Zefa's eyes were bright, staring at Portes in the corner with his head almost buried in the desk cabinet, "You are in the best time of your life, you are really enviable."
When he said these words, he no longer looked like he was joking. The glowing eyes proved that he meant what he said.It's just that Portus has lowered his head since Zefa came in, and has never been able to look at him.
"Life will always have its ups and downs. You have hit rock bottom now, and there is no way to encounter a worse situation." Even though Portes lowered his head, Zefa on the podium was still full of enthusiasm, "You are now every day. It’s great that you are making progress every time you take a step, and you are achieving yourself. No matter what you do now, you are making progress. Everyone who can achieve this level is a famous figure who has left a strong mark in history. Character"
The other students were stunned. Although Portus lowered his head, he was still listening to Zefa. He slowly raised his head and looked at Zefa timidly.
Zefa smiled and said from the bottom of his heart: "I am proud to have such amazing students. For all of you who have entered this naval academy, it has never been the former Navy Admiral Zefa who has made you successful, but you have made me successful."
His speaking skills are not superb, but he releases his sincerity easily.
Portus stared blankly at the shining man, his sincere smile making him forget everything.
"One exam will never and will not affect your life, nor can it eliminate your enthusiasm for being a sailor." Zefa locked his eyes on Portus again, "Your name is Portus, right? I remember you. I will also remember all of you. When I die, the last thing that pops up in my mind will be each of your names and faces. I am proud and proud that I can teach each of you."
"Anyone who can achieve something is always making progress no matter what they do. Without exception, they are famous figures in history. Haha." Portus closed his eyes, but still couldn't stop the flow of tears. "At that time, your mouth was better than mine." It will also hurt people.”
"Hahahaha" Zefa laughed, his eyes moist under his sunglasses, "Everything I said is the truth."
Portes brought back memories in a way that neither Kuzan nor Porusalino could do.
"To be honest, why haven't I become a famous person yet?" Portus asked.
"But you are my pride," Zefa said, and he was as sincere as before, "I am proud to have an outstanding student like you. You are the proof that I feel worthy of life."
"Stop it, Teacher Zefa." Portus said the title that he had not said for a long time.
Zefa heard Portus call him an old man for too long, and he was a little dazed: "Are you also here to dissuade me, a crazy old man?"
"We are really similar in temperament." Portus suddenly sighed.
"Now that you know it, you also know that you can't dissuade me." Zefa understands his own character and understands Portus's character.
"That's why my arm is broken, isn't it?" Portus looked at Zephyr.
Zefa was stunned, not expecting Portus to say this.He felt a little speechless. He knew that Weibull had chopped off the arm, and it was because of him: "Portes"
"You are obviously an old man, but you still insist on brushing up your presence." Portus scolded without hesitation, "You are just like me, old man, who never considered other people's feelings when I left the Navy. Do you have to lose something like me to understand?"
Portus pulled off the sleeve of his right arm, exposing the healed arm fracture.
Zefa, Ain, Binz, and Yamos and Kuzan in the distance, all eyes are focused on the healing wounds.
"I hope this is all I lose because of my damn stupidity." Portus caressed the wound on his right shoulder with his left hand. "There is no need to risk more lives and create more tragedies."
"Portes" Zefa yelled out. He didn't want Portes to stop him. He was even more afraid that his belief would be shaken.
"If you want to insist on your approach, teacher, then forgive me for being willful." Portus pulled out his sword, "Kill me first before destroying the new world and ruining the neo navy."
"Do you want to be my enemy?" Zefa gritted his teeth.
Portus nodded and raised the corner of his mouth: "Now that we both have broken arms, if we want to fight, it will be fair and just, right?"
