"Meeting Amethyst was probably about four years ago! At that time, I had just completed a mission and encountered Amethyst on my way back."
"I found it quite strange because I knew most of the Fleet Girls around this Naval Base, and there was no one named Amethyst. This little Kiddo kept wandering around this area, seemingly looking for something. However, I didn't think much of it; it wasn't unusual to see more Fleet Girls passing through here every day."
"But every time I passed by, I would see her. Sometimes she was drifting at sea, and other times she was sitting on the rocks by the shore, lost in thought, I couldn't tell what she was thinking about."
"So I approached her to see if there was anything I could do to help."
"However, Amethyst said she had been abandoned by the Admiral and could no longer return to the Naval Base."
"Since that was the case, I took her back to the Gendarmerie. As you know, we at Naval Headquarters have no authority to forcibly recruit Fleet Girls to work for us; everything relies on personal willingness."
"So I asked her if she wanted to live a normal life or stay at the Gendarmerie."
"If she wanted to live a normal life, I would send her to our Naval Headquarters' children's welfare institution in Rongcheng, which is specifically for Fleet Girls. There, she would receive a good education, go to school, take exams, and after graduating from university, find a regular job. Of course, if she grew up and wanted to get married and have children, we wouldn't interfere too much. But to be honest, I wouldn't want to see her make that choice."
"Why?" Chuyang asked curiously.
Although Chuyang had never seen those Fleet Girls who married ordinary people, it was said that they lived happily. Now hearing a different perspective from Kaohsiung piqued her curiosity.
"Chutong, you also graduated from Rongcheng Naval Academy; I'm sure you know that at the beginning of your enrollment, there was a comprehensive psychological assessment exam. How many people do you think scored full marks on that exam?" Kaohsiung did not directly answer Chuyang's question but instead posed another.
"That's hard to say," Chuyang thought for a moment and shook her head with a wry smile.
"Admiral, was that exam difficult?" Lexington asked curiously. Not just her; everyone else turned their attention as well. They didn't dare claim to know everything about their Admiral as Fleet Girls but had a general understanding.
In their eyes, how should they describe Chuyang? There was no doubt about her being flirtatious, but in other aspects, she was quite reliable. She often considered the needs of the Fleet Girls rather than stubbornly insisting on her own way. Additionally, in terms of knowledge, their Admiral understood many things they did not know. In summary, if they were to give Chuyang a score out of ten, even Kirov, who had "grudges" against Chuyang, would likely give her nine points.
Of course, this is what they thought; after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Every Admiral is seen as a paragon by their Fleet Girls.
"It's not difficult; it's all multiple choice, and it's just a choice between two options," Kaohsiung replied.
This left the Fleet Girls even more puzzled, but Chuyang's next answer cleared their confusion.
"Yes! It really isn't difficult. There are a total of twenty questions, and the answers are right below: either A or B, with no third option. However, it is also a stark examination of human nature."
"First of all, the premise is based on the idea that you Fleet Girls are also ordinary humans."
"The first question: If your parents and your wife, the Fleet Girl, both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"
...
"The tenth question: In the face of humanity's survival, you have two choices. If you choose to save humanity, you will become a legendary hero celebrated throughout history, revered by all, but you will lose your Fleet Girl."
"If you choose to abandon that path, you will survive safely with your Fleet Girl and can live a simple and happy life. However, you will face public scorn; once you leave your home, you will confront the accusations and insults from everyone on the street."
...
In short, all twenty questions were similar to choosing between fish and bear's paw or life and righteousness, with much more complex backgrounds provided.
"This..." Veneto was at a loss for words.
"Admiral, aren't they just trying to make things difficult for us?" Saratoga complained.
If in the past at Naval Base they would have unhesitatingly chosen to be with their Fleet Girls without a second thought, even now they still leaned towards that option.
However, having lived among humans for so long and considering things from another perspective, choosing either answer was an incredibly challenging dilemma.
However, if we replace the Fleet Girls with Admiral, then Lexington and the others would all score full marks. This is the biggest difference between them and humans; no matter what situation they face, in their hearts, Admiral is the most important. Humans, as Admirals, cannot achieve this because they have too many concerns and are not as pure as the Fleet Girls.
"So how did you choose to become an Admiral?" Richelieu asked.
"No need to ask; he can become an Admiral. No matter what he thinks now, at least when he answered that exam, the choices he made were exactly what you all longed for," Kaohsiung answered directly.
That's right; during that exam, even if there was one choice that was not a Fleet Girl, it would lead to immediate elimination.
"Admiral." Lexington smiled modestly, but her eyes were filled with affection.
Even Prince of Wales, who usually had little expression on her face, showed a hint of tenderness after hearing Kaohsiung's words.
"Brother-in-law, you are the best." Saratoga hugged Chuyang from behind the sofa.
"Ahem, it’s only natural," Chuyang said, trying to hide his embarrassment. The reason he was able to make such a choice back then was largely because his mindset had not yet changed; he held a somewhat carefree attitude towards life.
Moreover, if he had seen that exam paper in his previous life, he probably would have cursed the question setter's entire family because he wouldn't have known how to choose.
"Isn't this a bit too idealistic? Is Naval Headquarters trying to cultivate a group of selfish and self-serving Admirals without any sense of righteousness?"
Veneto looked seriously at Kaohsiung. Although she felt happy about Chuyang's choice, she considered more. If it really was as she thought, then Naval Headquarters would be quite terrifying. What were they trying to achieve?
