Shen Yan, a graduate of the 15th class of the Rongcheng Naval Academy, is a true standout at the academy, a beauty and a brain, and the embodiment of the "European Emperor" of her class.
Logically, such a goddess-like figure shouldn't have any intersection with Chuyang, who comes from a common background. Not to mention that during Chuyang's first year at school, Shen Yan was already out on an internship, leaving no chance for them to meet. However, Chuyang's luck was particularly poor; at the start of last year's internship period, he was the only intern in their class without any Fleet Girls.
For an Admiral, lacking Fleet Girls means they cannot carry out any escort or offensive missions. Naturally, the seniors returning to the academy to select interns were unwilling to take back a "useless" intern who couldn't contribute anything to the Naval Base, so Chuyang was unsurprisingly eliminated. Coincidentally, that day Shen Yan was delayed due to some matters and arrived at the academy later than usual. Even more coincidentally, the number of students in the 15th class matched that of the 17th class exactly, resulting in no one left for selection, forcing Shen Yan to take the only remaining intern, Chuyang.
"Long time no see, Chuyang." The speaker was standing to the right of Shen Yan, a city beauty with silver long hair dressed in a white office lady outfit.
Her name is Haruna, the Battleship Cruiser Haruna, part of the Old World Japanese Navy, serving as Shen Yan's Secretary Ship. She is also the only large ship under Shen Yan's command besides her initial ship, Royal Ark.
"Yes, long time no see, Haruna," Chuyang nodded in greeting. Honestly, every time he saw Haruna, he felt like he had been sunburned. Compared to him, who only had one Destroyer Girl and was just an African Salty Fish, Shen Yan, with a full roster including an Aircraft Carrier, battlecruisers, Heavy Cruisers, Light Cruisers, and submarines—except for no battleships—was undoubtedly like a white monkey from Europe. If she weren't his senior, he would have wanted to pull out his tribe's treasured spear and shout: "European Spear!"
"Xiaoyangzi, who is this?" Shen Yan glanced at Ye Zhengyang, who was standing next to Chuyang, and asked.
"Hello, Shen Yan Senior, my name is Ye Zhengyang. I'm a classmate and close friend of Chuyang." Before Chuyang could introduce him, Ye Zhengyang spoke first. "You can call me Xiao Ye."
"Hello, Ye Junior."
"Um, Shen Yan Senior, you must be looking for something from Chuyang. I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
With that, Ye Zhengyang turned and dashed away. Just before turning around, he kept giving meaningful glances at Chuyang.
He meant for Chuyang to seize the opportunity and quickly win over Shen Yan. But...
There were various rumors about Shen Yan Senior in the academy, but they all boiled down to one point: Shen Yan was a fair-skinned, beautiful, and graceful rich girl, and she was particularly gentle. Whoever married her in the future would be a truly fortunate person.
However, only Chuyang knew that things were not as simple as they seemed. Shen Yan was not the gentle goddess everyone thought; instead, she was a thorough tomboy and also a lesbian...
"You've got some sense, kid." Looking at Ye Zhengyang's figure disappearing into the distance, a glimmer of approval flashed in Shen Yan's eyes.
She returned to school today partly to meet up with the Fleet Girls from Naval Headquarters to head to Campbell Island together. The other reason was to find Chuyang and explain some matters to him, which she did not want anyone else to know about.
As for the firefly standing next to Chuyang, it was clear that the little girl was tightly clinging to Chuyang's sleeve; she was definitely his Fleet Girl and not an outsider.
"You've really done well! You actually have Fleet Girls now. Tell me, did you recruit them or build them?" In the absence of outsiders, Shen Yan reverted to her tomboy nature, playfully patting Chuyang's shoulder with force and wearing an expression as if she had seen an alien.
Initially, as the temporary mentor responsible for guiding intern Chuyang, Shen Yan naturally had access to all the materials provided by the academy, which recorded most of what had happened since Chuyang enrolled. To put it bluntly, after reading Chuyang's file, Shen Yan felt like banging her head against a wall. She had seen people with bad luck before, but she had never seen anyone with such terrible luck. The academy's records showed that in his first four construction attempts, he had failed to produce a single Fleet Girl—a truly unprecedented situation. Not to mention that he had failed to recruit ships 203 times in a row... If there hadn't been so many unclaimed Fleet Girls in the academy, this number would likely have continued to rise, surpassing the Guinness World Record set over twenty years ago by an African Warlord and doubling it. How could future generations break such a record? It was impossible.
Thus, Shen Yan was very curious about how Chuyang managed to obtain Fleet Girls.
However, before Chuyang could respond, the black-clad woman standing on Shen Yan's left side, who had been quiet until now, fixed her gaze on the firefly and asked, "What about Reputation? Aren't you with her?"
"Reputation?" Little Kiddo was puzzled. She naturally knew about Fleet Girl Reputation; there was an older sister named Reputation at her previous Naval Base. Moreover, the head of the Organization Department at Rongcheng Naval Academy was also named Reputation. The firefly couldn't figure out which Reputation the woman was referring to. Besides, their maid named Reputation had already gone missing; ever since their Naval Base disappeared four years ago, Little Kiddo hadn't seen her again. As for the Reputation at Naval Academy, she felt unfamiliar with her—why would she follow Reputation?
"Who are you?" The firefly didn't understand what the woman in black meant, but Chuyang understood perfectly well.
“Xiaoyangzi, let me introduce you. This is Naval Headquarters Chief Inspector, Battleship Girl Kongou, Lieutenant General.” As Shen Yan spoke, he pointed to Chuyang and said, “This is my junior, Chuyang. He is the newly appointed Admiral of this year's Rongcheng Naval Academy. I hope you can take good care of him, Sister Kongou.”
“Hello.” Chuyang extended his hand towards Kongou.
“Hello.” Her voice was exceptionally cold, devoid of any emotion. The one named Kongou had short black hair and an expression of indifference. Dressed in a black military uniform, she did not shake Chuyang's hand but merely nodded slightly without any further action.
Although Chuyang had already adapted to this place and no longer measured the Fleet Girls in this world by the standards of his previous life’s games, Kongou was still a bit too cold! She was almost like a block of ice.
However, after all, she was a Lieutenant General at the Naval Headquarters, holding a special position that surpassed most other Vice Admirals of the Navy Headquarters, possessing the strength of a quasi-flag officer as an incredibly powerful Fleet Girl. As an Admiral, he would inevitably have to interact with her in the future, so he needed to respond to her question.
“Reputation should have left Rongcheng early this morning.”
