"【Whirlwind Dance】?"
"Just now... that technique..."
"Did Mo Yurou release it herself?"
"This guy learned it after watching it only once?!"
"I don't know how to do it!"
On the deck of the Devil Ship, Jian Qinghan looked at the Captain's cabin, his expression becoming even more bewildered.
Is this really an E-class ship girl?!
......
"Splashing~"
After an unknown period of silence, as the [Ice Storm] slowly approached the finish line, and the third place was confirmed, a series of loud and flashing fireworks erupted.
On the host's platform, Cui Mingyuan's voice quickly rang out.
"Cough cough cough~"
"What an exhilarating match!"
"Now, I declare this year's [First Sea Gathering] a perfect close!"
"The contestants who fell into the water, the 'Boat Girl' and the 'Navigator', have both been sent to the clinic for consultation."
"Next, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the first-place winner of this [First Sea Gathering]!"
"Zheng Hao! And his 'ship girl' [the Devil's Ship]!!!"
On the deck of the [Shanhai Academy], an award stage had been erected at some unknown time. Zheng Hao carried the limp Mo Yurou on his back and climbed to the highest stage.
"Awesome! We won the championship in an E-class ship girl!"
"Young Master Zheng is awesome!"
"【Devil】is pretty good too! I've really seen something new today. What other ship girl would dare to be so reckless?"
"【The Devil】! 【The Devil】!"
"【The Devil】!"
As Zheng Hao stepped onto the stage, cheers erupted once again.
Among the crowd, some spectators even kept chanting the name of the "Devil Ship," having become loyal fans.
"Zheng Hao..."
"Zheng Hao, I...I'm a little excited...I..."
Weak and powerless, Mo Yurou buried her head on Zheng Hao's shoulder. What kind of emotions was she in right now?
The relief of finally being recognized?
The excitement of winning the championship?
Or perhaps, the pride of becoming famous?
No!
Actually, none of those are true.
After she had adjusted to all of this, what made her happiest was being able to stand here with Zheng Hao. In the instant she lowered her head, only one thing came to mind.
"I...I want to walk with you forever..."
"Um..."
"Today is just the beginning... There will be [medium-sized competitions], [large-scale competitions] in the future... Our journey is long, we will stand on a higher stage, and more people will remember your name!"
As Zheng Hao gently comforted Mo Yurou, his face inexplicably flushed.
He was about to fulfill his promise to Mo Yurou.
"Next... let's welcome the runner-up of this competition! Yun Yang! And his ship girl, [Mirage]!"
"Thump~"
On the second-place award stage, Yun Yang, with a dark expression, was still being pulled onto the stage by [Mirage].
His face was cold as he merely glanced at Zheng Hao: "Zheng Hao! Next time... next time I won't give you a chance to get close to me! If I can [transform] one last time, you'll be the one who loses this time!"
"Let's talk about it next time!"
Zheng Hao ignored him.
Mirage, on the other hand, acted like a caring older sister, hugging him tightly: "Alright... go back and work on your stamina. Your Etherealization will eventually shine on the world stage!"
"This is just the beginning..."
"......"
The two communicated solely through the voice of [Mirage].
The atmosphere between the two of them was truly strange.
but...
When Cui Mingyuan called out the third name, "Yang Fan," the duo, like a pair of clowns, stood in third place and kept waving to the surroundings.
"Thank you everyone! We will do our best in the future!"
"Yang Fan, well done! Keep it up, don't embarrass yourself!"
Two lively characters, one tall and one short, stood on the podium, constantly shouting encouragement.
Upon seeing this from a distance, Yang Kuo immediately covered his face and hurriedly said, "I don't know these two guys."
After a brief celebration on stage.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
The [Magic Points Reward], managed by Lin Yuanhao, was slowly delivered by him.
He held a star-shaped sphere resembling a crystal ball in his hand and walked towards the three people in front of the podium one by one.
"First place! Zheng Hao!"
"Gained 30 Magic Points this time!"
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
As he finished speaking, thirty tadpole-like points of light from the "star sphere" rapidly spread toward Zheng Hao's left hand.
Zheng Hao felt a chill in his palm, and could feel densely packed energy pulsating within it.
"30 points..."
"Shouldn't that be enough to elevate the [Demon] to the level of a 'C-rank ship girl'?"
"The first-place reward is indeed great... but the third-place 'propeller'..."
He remained silent, completely ignoring Lin Yuanhao's resentful gaze, only glancing at Yang Fan from time to time.
"Second place, Yun Yang, 20 [Magic Points]!"
"Third place, Yang Fan, 10 [Magic Points]!"
After the [Magic Points] have been distributed.
"Tap tap tap~"
This time, Zhou Sheng strode forward, faced everyone, and said jokingly, "Everyone! Now, we are about to award the physical prizes to the top three winners of this competition!"
"I'm sure everyone is curious about what the first-place prize, the 'accessory' transported from the vast ocean, is!!"
"Clang clang clang~"
"Class A cornering assist accessory [Turbo]!"
