Chapter 9 Being Sold
Prince of Wales was the second ship of the King George V-class battleship. Her life experience was rich, but the most notable of them was her sinking, which represented the end of the era of large ships and big guns.
Perhaps it was destined by heaven. In the world where Qin Ge lived, the wreckage of the Prince of Wales was salvaged by some companies in his country. In this world, the Prince of Wales became the dean of the Donghuang Azur Lane Commander Academy. It must be said that this was really a bad fate.
As he walked with Fushun in the Commander Academy, everything he saw made him feel new and familiar. Familiar because it was similar to the academy he had spent four years in, both places for study, and new because the facilities here were obviously much more complex than those in the academy he had attended.
Walking straight in from the main road, you can see a large building at a glance. Right in front of the building is a huge black stone tablet. Many people's names are engraved on this black stone tablet, densely packed in rows, but there are many blank spaces. This made Qin Ge a little puzzled, so he asked Fushun who was traveling with him.
"Oh, the names of the commanders who died in battle are engraved on that stone tablet . Because almost all of them died in the sea, the academy specially built this stone tablet for them and engraved their names on it to prove to future generations their achievements." When Fushun said this, he no longer had the detached feeling of the past, but spoke with a slightly heavy voice.
So that's it, Qin Ge nodded, and took a deep look at the stone tablet. The name of Wan Lao's son should also be on the stone tablet, right? Qin Ge thought like this, but because the dean of this college wanted to find him, he did not stop to look for the name carefully, but followed Fushun and continued to move forward.
After passing several intersections, the two came to a place similar to a faculty building. After going up to the second floor, they stopped in front of a red wooden door on this side. There was a sign hanging on the wooden door with three words written on it: Dean's Office.
Following Fushun's knock on the door, a very imposing voice came from inside the door, "Come in!"
Fushun pushed open the door and the two of them walked in together. Qin Ge saw a beautiful woman with short golden hair and wearing a red navy uniform. She was sitting at the desk in the office, holding a cup of black tea in her hand and looking up at the two of them.
"Hello, Dean. This is the guy I just mentioned to you...his name is Qin Ge, and the recommendation letter was written by Xu Xin." Fushun looked at the Prince of Wales and said with a smile, and handed Xu Xin's recommendation letter to the Prince of Wales. But if she didn't have that stuck in the middle, then everything would be perfect.
Prince of Wales smiled and raised his head, looking at Qin Ge seriously. He was very energetic, and he did not feel any panic in front of him. Under his increasingly heavy momentum, there were very few young people who could do this. So Prince of Wales smiled and nodded, and said to Qin Ge, "Hello, I am the dean of the Commander Academy of Donghuang Azure Lane, Prince of Wales. You can just call me the dean, although you are not a student of the Commander Academy yet."
"Hello, Dean. I'm Qin Ge." Qin Ge nodded to the Prince of Wales, and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Well, was it Commander Xu Xin who recommended you to study at the Commander Academy?" Prince of Wales asked Qin Ge.
"Yes." Qin Ge responded.
"Well, if that's the case, why didn't he explain to you clearly what you need to pay attention to when entering the academy? It's really irresponsible to let someone like you go directly to the academy with a letter of recommendation." Prince of Wales looked at Qin Ge and said .
"Um... Actually, when Commander Xu Xin wrote the recommendation letter for me, I had no intention of becoming a commander, so he just gave me the recommendation letter and told me that it was up to me whether to go to the Commander Academy when it starts in September." Qin Ge answered truthfully.
"Oh, I didn't expect there was such a story behind it. Since you didn't want to come at first, why do you want to come now? What changed your mind?" Prince of Wales asked with interest.
"Because in the past one or two months, I have learned a lot about commanders and ship girls. This is a great profession with many great people, so I hope to be one of them." Qin Ge said, but he lied in this matter. His original purpose was to go home, but it did not prevent him from wanting to be one of them.
"I see. After learning about the high sacrifice rate of the commander, you still dare to come. I admire your courage." Prince of Wales said solemnly, "It is precisely because of people like you who are not afraid of death and dare to die that the Commander Academy can continue to operate."
"You're too kind." Qin Ge said modestly.
"Don't be modest. This is the praise you deserve." Prince of Wales said with a smile as he opened Xu Xin's letter of recommendation. "I want to know what is your relationship with Commander Xu Xin?"
"He is my savior. I almost died in the gun of the Siren destroyer. It was his ship girl Tangs who saved me, and then they brought me back to Minghai City." Qin Ge said solemnly.
"Oh, so you and Xu Xin are not familiar with each other?" Prince of Wales looked at Qin Ge in surprise. She didn't expect that Qin Ge was not an acquaintance of Xu Xin. Then why did Qin Ge ask Xu Xin to write a recommendation letter in person? So she took out the letter and quickly read it.
Looking at the Prince of Wales who was reading the letter, Qin Ge did not answer her question. He believed that Xu Xin had explained everything in the letter.
However, to his surprise, after reading the letter, the Prince of Wales looked up and asked Qin Ge, "Xu Xin said that you will pay for him after you become the commander?"
"Ah?" Qin Ge's mouth opened wide instantly, "What money?"
"Well...Xu Xin's ship girl Tang Si blew up my garden on the day of the graduation ceremony. Because I had to attend the graduation ceremony, I didn't punish him directly at the time, but who knew that he would slip away after the graduation ceremony, so I paid for the reconstruction of the bombed garden. And he said in the letter that after you become the commander, you will pay him back for the compensation." Prince of Wales smiled thoughtfully at Qin Ge, "Can I understand that you have been sold to the Commander Academy by Xu Xin?"
"Ah?" Qin Ge was stunned. He had not expected things to turn out like this. He had just walked into the gate of the Commander Academy and had not done anything yet, but he was already in debt, and it was a debt that he had to pay back...
