Elder brother's garrison

"Waaaaah, Rodney, thank you so much!" Instructor Number Seven's face, which was covered in paint in all sorts of colors, finally showed a look of gratitude.

After asking for the location, Rodney and Nelson, who had also stood up, headed towards the area where Instructor Seven was in charge.

Speaking of Instructor Number Seven, she's quite pitiful. She's one of the more senior instructors in the training institution, and she seems like the easiest to bully, so people who want to challenge her often inexplicably come after her.

There were quite a few staff members standing on the beach under Instructor No. 7's jurisdiction.

"Excuse me, excuse me, thank you." Rodney pushed his way through the crowd.

Rodney walked to the center of the crowd.

In the center of an open space enclosed by staff, six ship girls were standing there chatting and laughing.

Some of them also had paint splatter marks on them, but they were much better off than Instructor Number Seven, who had become a real person in the painting.

"Your instructors are too weak. We won't accept the grades given by such weak instructors!"

Before Rodney could speak, he saw the leader of the six ship girls standing with her hands on her hips, speaking confidently to a staff member.

"Just as the instructors said," Rodney murmured, then smiled and walked towards them.

The traces of paint clearly show that these ship girls are definitely not the so-called newbie ship girls.

Rodney looked the ship girl who was pointing at the staff over in his eyes.

There wasn't a single trace of paint on this ship girl, which alone is enough to show that her strength is no less than that of Instructor No. 7.

"What trouble have you encountered?" Rodney asked the ship girls with a friendly smile as she approached them.

Rodney's smile was kind and peaceful, like an angel descended to earth, making it impossible for anyone present to feel any hostility.

Even the ship girls who were fussing over the staff couldn't help but calm down after seeing Rodney's expression.

Chapter 383 Yamato-neechan, your equipment dropped!

Nelson also walked in through the crowd that Rodney had cleared earlier.

She stood at the edge, watching Rodney interact with the ship girls who were challenging the group.

Nelson watched with satisfaction as her younger sister calmed the situation with just a smile, and she nodded.

Rodney's smile is invincible.

Oh, my little sister is so cute.

Nelson took out his phone and snapped a picture of Rodney.

Nelson's actions, of course, did not escape Rodney's notice, since she was standing not far away. As her sister was taking pictures of her, Rodney, as the younger sister, was unsure whether the timing was appropriate, but her long-standing habit led her to raise a peace sign and face Nelson's camera.

"Click." Nelson looked at his phone screen with satisfaction.

"Hey!" Nelson was satisfied, but the ship girls who came to challenge her were not.

"Ah, sorry, it was an accident..." Rodney quickly apologized to the ship girls, "Excuse me, could you please tell me..."

As Rodney finished speaking, he picked up the performance review report handed to him by his staff.

"Are you not satisfied with this?" Rodney asked with a smile.

"Of course we're not satisfied. As the ones evaluating us, their strength shouldn't be weaker than ours, no matter what." The ship girls looked up and said to Rodney.

“Oh…that’s true.” Rodney didn’t delve into the issue of strength.

In reality, Instructor No. 7's strength shouldn't be weaker than theirs, just not by much. But it's no longer important to dwell on this issue now.

"So, what would you like?" Rodney asked.

"Refund the tuition, or change the instructor." The ship girls exchanged glances as if they had planned it all along, and then said to Rodney.

As ship girls with such combat capabilities, their admirals should not lack money, so they don't need to worry about getting their tuition fees refunded.

However, refunding tuition fees would be a significant blow to the reputation of the training institution. After all, it would be seen as an admission of poor teaching quality, so refunding tuition fees should be avoided at all costs.

“Oh… okay, I understand.” Rodney nodded. “Then how about I become your acting instructor?”

"You?" The leading ship girl looked at Rodney's harmless smile, then glanced at the nameplate on Rodney's chest.

Instructor Number Fourteen.

It seems she hasn't been an instructor for very long. There's no point in defeating these inexperienced and unimpressive ship girls. Even if she wins, her reputation will only be that of a temporary worker at a training school.

"Can we get another one?" The leading ship girl made no attempt to hide her feelings for Rodney.

They came to challenge the established schools, not to be sparring partners, so they preferred to start by fighting the more famous instructors.

"Can't I?" Rodney asked curiously. "I'm very strong, you know."

"You..." The leading ship girl was about to say "I feel you're not good enough" when her companion pulled her back.

"She's Rodney," her companion whispered to the ship girl.

"Rodney?!" The leading ship girl's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this. "Big Seven?"

The battleship HMS Rodney was a well-known ship in history. At one time, it was known as the "Big Seven" along with six other battleships because it possessed the world's largest caliber guns. It was also one of the main contributors to the battle that encircled and destroyed world-class battleships like the Bismarck.

Rodney is a battleship that has left a brilliant mark on human history.

In short, it is a famous warship.

If it were Rodney, that would be even better!

What are these ship girls doing here to challenge us for? It's all about reputation. If they can defeat a famous ship like Rodney here, that would be an absolute steal.

"Excuse me, I take back what I just said." The leading ship girl stared intently at Rodney, her aggressive gaze undisguised. "Please become our acting instructor."

"I'm so glad you agreed." Rodney crossed his fingers over his chest and smiled at the ship girls. "How about I conduct the final exam re-test for you then?"

"Okay!" the ship girls replied eagerly.

Rodney looked at the six ship girls in front of him.

It seems they've already considered victory a sure thing.

"Um, may I make a small request?" Rodney asked the ship girls with a smile.

"what?"

Rodney: "Live-fire exercise."

When Rodney said those words, everyone in the room, except Nelson, gasped.

"Why live ammunition?" the ship girls asked.

"Don't you guys think this is more tense and exciting?" Rodney laughed.

The ship girls nodded. Indeed, the feel of the fireworks shells was a bit lacking; they weren't as solid as real ammunition. "Okay, that works."

After obtaining the ship girls' consent, Rodney left the spot. She and the ship girls who had challenged the group returned to the supply depot and replaced all the fireworks shells in their ship equipment with real ammunition.

"Do you want live ammunition?" Nelson asked Rodney at that moment.

"Hmm." Rodney nodded. "The feel of the fireworks shells is still a bit lacking. I prefer the feeling of the bullets going 'boom'."

Rodney reloaded the ammunition, then clenched his two small fists and placed them in front of his chest, looking at Nelson: "Then cheer me on, big sister!"

"Good luck." Nelson patted Rodney on the shoulder and then left.

"Does anyone have a camera... a selfie stick will do... or a model airplane or something..." Nelson muttered as he walked toward the crowd.

Rodney returned to Instructor Seven's beach.

At this moment, Instructor No. 7, who had already cleaned up the paint, was also standing there, looking around like a lamb searching for a sheepdog.

"Rodney!" Instructor Number Seven spotted Rodney and ran to his side. "Rodney, I heard you're taking the live-fire test?"

"Ah, senior, you already knew?"

"Oh no, what are you doing? Live ammunition?!" Instructor Number Seven stomped his feet several times in frustration at Rodney's fearless attitude. "Even if you have high-damage protection, you can't act like this! What if you get hit by a stray bullet?!"

"It's okay," Rodney said with a smile.

Instructor Number Seven wanted to say something, but when she saw Rodney's smile, she couldn't utter a word.

I persuaded Rodney to come, so how could I say anything discouraging here?

"So... are you confident?" Instructor Number Seven asked.

“Okay,” Rodney said. “Let Rodney handle the punishment of those bad guys who bully the instructors!”

After Rodney finished speaking, he waved to Instructor Seven, activated his ship's equipment, and headed out to sea.

Instructor Number Seven stood there for a while, then looked at the ship girls who were slowly walking over to challenge them. She stomped her foot, then ignored the piercing gazes from the ship girls and stared intently at Rodney's back.

The battle began when Rodney ventured deeper into the sea.

As the examiner and target of the assessment, Rodney must first reach the depths of the sea, playing the role of a lone abyssal dean, while the ship girls who are students join forces to search for Rodney in the sea and defeat her.

The six ship girls quickly jumped onto the surface of the sea and rushed towards the depths of the ocean.

The ship girls were incredibly fast, showing none of the awkwardness of novice ship girls stepping into the sea for the first time to fight.

As if they had already pinpointed Rodney's location, the six of them lined up in a vertical row and shot towards their target like an arrow.

As a ship girl challenging someone, a swift and decisive victory is always paramount. Ideally, you should storm into the area as soon as Rodney arrives, before she's fully prepared, catching her off guard.

Instructor No. 7 felt a pang of anxiety seeing how skilled these ship girls were.

When I fought them, I never saw them go into the sea. When I encountered them in the sea, I was beaten up and never really witnessed their strength. Now, seeing these ship girls so skillfully forming their starting formation on the beach, my heart clenched.

These are a group of seasoned female drivers!

Instructor Number Seven suddenly regretted bringing Rodney along.

"Hey." Nelson suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a digital video camera and carefully filming the sea.

Rodney had already ventured deep into the sea, and even the ship girls who had come to challenge him had disappeared. The cricket digital camera could see nothing but a vast expanse of blue water.

“Nelson…I’m sorry…” Instructor Number Seven apologized to Nelson.

"Huh? Apologize for what?"

"You dragged your sister into this kind of thing..."

“Oh, is there anyone else besides Rodney and me who can handle this?” Nelson asked.

"That's all," Instructor Number Seven replied.

Most of the instructors at the training center were about the same level as Instructor No. 7, with only Rodney and Nelson truly being stronger than him.

“That’s fine then.” Nelson fiddled with the digital camera in his hand. “It’ll be perfect for capturing Rodney’s triumphant return.”

Nelson had absolute confidence in Rodney.

"Nelson, will Rodney win?"

“It’s impossible to lose.” Nelson was convinced of this. “After all, they used live ammunition.”

"Why?" Instructor Number Seven asked, puzzled.

“Oh, right, you don’t seem to know,” Nelson said, putting down the digital camera he was holding. “Do you know why Rodney used live ammunition?”

"Uh, I don't know."

"Because that way we can legitimately replace the ordinary gun emplacements that fire fireworks with Yamato guns," Nelson said to Instructor Number Seven.

Chapter 384 Big Guy

The identities of Nelson and Rodney are shrouded in mystery.

At least the instructors in the training institutions didn't know their identities. It was as if one day, they naturally became instructors in the training institutions and started asking them all sorts of questions about what it was like to be an instructor.

In an organization where all instructors are recruited from large naval bases, it's strange for someone to suddenly appear like this.

Many instructors were curious about their identities and tried to subtly inquire about them, but were met with a dismissive laugh. Some busybodies even asked the higher-ups at the training institution, but unfortunately, they received no response.

Over time, the news that these two ship girls were actually runaway ship girls spread like wildfire.

What kind of naval base would be willing to let these two sisters run away from home?

Instructor No. 7 felt deeply sorry for their admiral.

Instructor Number Seven didn't know about Rodney and Nelson's past before becoming instructors, but she knew that the two were very strong, a level above her own.

This strength is not just in training level; the sheer strength of the ship's equipment, combat capabilities, and even the occasional fierce aura emanating from him all subtly suggest the gap between himself and others.

This is why Instructor Number Seven wanted to ask Rodney for help as soon as something happened to him.

“Big…big…big what?” Instructor Number Seven muttered as he looked at Nelson.
