"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sun was high in the sky.
Today, the [Shanhaiyu] area is exceptionally lively, with fireworks being set off everywhere and the booming sound being deafening.
Colored buoys were affixed to almost every sea route.
The old residents of the [Shanhaiyu] region all know that today is the [First Sea Gathering], a rare event that takes place in the region every year.
【First Sea Gathering】: A small competition held to encourage every 【Navigator】 who graduates from 【Mountain and Sea Academy】 to take their first step in exploring the unknown sea with their own 【Ship Girl】.
Similarly, the [Chuhai Club] is also a stage for graduates to prove themselves every year.
The champion of the [First Sea Meeting] will receive a full 30 Magic Points, as well as new components delivered by [Ship Alliance] every year.
The runner-up will receive 20 Magic Points, plus ten maintenance services sponsored by the academy.
As for the third place winner, all they have to offer is a mediocre 10 Magic Points and a chance to go to the [Shan Hai Academy] warehouse to select [old components] discarded from previous years.
With such generous rewards, almost every year, a constant stream of "Navigators" flock to participate.
After all, it's hard to get such an award from any other competition besides those encouraged by the academy.
Based on past experience, this year's competition should also be very exciting.
but!
At this moment, at the entrance of the Mountain and Sea Academy, where the location of the starting point is posted, only twenty boat girls are moored.
Among them, the most dazzling are Yang Fan's [Ice Storm] and Yun Yang's strange [Mirror Ship Girl].
Yes!
【Mirror Boat Girl】.
His ship girl was covered in strangely inlaid lenses. It was said that this was the S-class ship girl assigned to him by the Ship Federation. No one knew what abilities this ship girl had, but its design alone was very eye-catching.
"Thump~"
"Thump~"
Before the competition even started, twenty ship girls were already colliding with each other on the sea.
The stands at the [Shanhai Academy] were packed with spectators today.
Zheng Yunlong, holding Jian Chunxue's hand, was chatting with Yang Kuo, the head of the Yang family.
"Oh dear..."
"This year's [First Sea Gathering] only has twenty [Ship Girls], which is quite a letdown compared to previous years!"
"Inferior?"
"Patriarch Yang is quite the joker... If you ask me, this year's competition is the most intense one yet, isn't it?"
"[S-rank talent], [S-rank ship girl], [A-rank talent], [A-rank ship girl]... These are things you only see in large-scale competitions. When will our [Shan Hai Yu] have them?"
Haha~
"That makes sense. Perhaps those who didn't participate in the [First Sea Gathering] lacked confidence in their ability to place, so they simply didn't come?"
"However... there's something I don't understand..."
"On your kid's ship, if I'm not mistaken... that's the attire of the [Purple and Green Sword Ship] family, isn't it? Does he have the [Purple and Green Sword Ship] but not use it, or is he going to sail the [Demon Ship] instead?"
Yang Kuo's sharp eyes swept across the deck of the [Devil].
On the deck, Jian Qinghan stood calmly, looking around before finally fixing his gaze on the [Mirror Ship Girl].
"this..."
"Xiao Hao said participation is the most important thing, he didn't say he had to win..."
Zheng Yunlong explained awkwardly, and Yang Kuo glanced at him in surprise, then chuckled and said, "Your kid really has a lot of quirks!"
Haha~
"......"
There was a constant murmur of discussion over here.
On the other side of the audience, Liu Ruyan glared resentfully at the most dazzling of the group of boat girls, the [Mirror Boat Girl].
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"The eye of the typhoon was originally mine!"
She shouted, while Liu Piaoxu beside her had a flicker in her eyes, but her gaze was fixed on a [D-class ship girl].
"Hey? Ruyan, did you see that?"
"Zheng Hao dared to race with an E-class ship girl, but that D-class ship girl belongs to Zhou Hang, right? He also dared to race with a low-class ship girl?"
"What is he doing...?"
"Hmph~"
"Mother, don't mention him to me!"
"Just thinking about him makes me furious! A mere [E-rank talent] navigator thinks he can take me on? If you ask me, he and that [Mo Yurou] are the best partners! Zheng Hao! That guy... he actually didn't want me, he wanted that [E-rank ship girl]?!"
With her fists clenched, Liu Ruyan was about to lash out.
"Tap tap tap~"
Suddenly!
Zhou Hang suddenly appeared in the stands and walked towards him.
"Um?"
"Zhou Hang! Why aren't you warming up for the competition? What are you doing here now?"
His expression flickered uncertainly.
Despite having given Zhou Hang a good scolding that day, the fact that he was still coming to see her made Liu Ruyan feel that sense of being fawned over again, and her expression gradually softened.
"Like smoke..."
"I was just asking, have you been feeling better these past few days?"
"Your business...I'm already thinking of ways to help!"
"I..."
The gentle voice reached her, and Liu Ruyan's heart softened.
"never mind..."
"I was actually wrong that day too."
"You'd better go back... You came here in a [D-rank ship girl] and you're just making a fool of yourself! Anyway... Good luck!"
With a wave of her hand, Liu Ruyan immediately wanted to send Zhou Hang away.
Even now, Zhou Hang is still someone he looks down on.
