With the strongest bloodline, it’s not too much to have more children, right?

Chapter 278 New Teacher

The elite class is similar to the Navy's elite training camp, but the age requirement is not high and the number of students is smaller, only fifty.

The elite class adopts an elimination system. Students will go through four rounds of elimination during their four-year career. Only those who persevere to the end can receive the best training.

Although cruel, competition is the best motivation.

On the playground, two people were fighting fiercely. One was a woman with a ponytail, two small wings on her back, and a spear in her hand.

The other was a boy with purple hair, transparent wings on his back, and green scales covering his body.

The woman's name is Dali. She was one of the first students at the Royal Academy. After graduation, she became a teacher at the academy.

With his outstanding teaching ability and remarkable strength, he successfully became a teacher in the elite class.

The boy is naturally Tarvis. He is fourteen years old this year. With Zephyr's powerful talent and having eaten an ancient devil fruit, his strength has reached the level of major general.

The battle between the two was so intense that they didn't even notice the arrival of Zell and the others.

Signaling to the other students not to disturb them, Zel and the others watched the battle from the side.

Dali was very fast, firing her spear continuously, and ordinary people could only see afterimages.

However, Tarvis, who had eaten the ancient giant dragonfly fruit, had compound eyes like a dragonfly. He was not afraid of the fast enemies at all, and kept swinging his fists covered with armament color.

The spear and fist collided continuously, making a dull sound.

"Teacher, if you don't take it seriously, you'll lose."

Tarvis smiled. It was a great honor to be able to defeat the teacher before graduation.

"You little brat, if you want to lose, just say so."

Dali smiled slightly. The stronger his students were, the prouder he was.

With a shot, Dali deflected Talvis's fist. The small wings behind her suddenly grew larger and took on an orange-red color, and her mouth turned into a sharp beak.

Animality - Bird Fruit - Robin Form.

Dali, who had entered the human-beast form, sped up, flapped her wings, and her body immediately came in front of Talvis.

The spear was pointed at a reverse angle, and although Tarvis dodged it, it still stuck to him like a leech, making him very uncomfortable.

"Talvis, let the teacher see how much you have grown."

Tarvis was not flustered. He dodged the spear's thrust with an extremely awkward posture, flew into the air, and distanced himself.

Tarvis in the air slammed his fist hard, and the dark armament color quickly enveloped his entire arm.

The transparent dragonfly wings vibrated rapidly, and the next moment, Tarvis streaked across the sky like a meteorite, his pitch-black fist falling with unmatched force.

"Shatter and Explode!"

Looking at the figure that was getting bigger and bigger in her eyes, Dali swung her spear, flapped her orange-red wings, spread her legs, and fired a shot.

boom!

The pitch-black wall collided with the fist covered in rich military colors, creating a strong wind that swept all around.

If the floor hadn't been reinforced by He Li at Zel's request, there would have been a big crack.

The confrontation lasted about ten seconds, and with his strength exhausted, Talvis was ultimately unable to defeat Dali.

But from Dali's trembling legs, it can be seen that the punch was not light.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Ze'er took the lead in clapping, and the other students followed suit.

For a moment, warm applause filled the entire playground.

The two came to their senses and saw Zel and others. Talvis was relatively calm, after all, he seldom saw Zel, but Dali blushed immediately, like a little fan girl seeing her idol.

"Master Zell, no, Principal Zell, why are you here?"

Zel smiled slightly and began to explain.

"Bring two guys here to apply for the teacher position. Your fight was spectacular."

Zell is not arrogant and his code of conduct is to be approachable.

"Talvis, long time no see."

Zel looked at Tarvis carefully for a long time. This kid looked nothing like Zefa when he was a child, but now he looks more and more like him.

"Lord Zell."

Tarvis seemed a little respectful, after all, he was Zefa's son, but Zefa was his savior.

Zell nodded, asked Dali to gather all the students, and then started the business of the day.

"This is Baroric Redfield, also known as the Red Earl. He will be your swordsmanship and observation Haki instructor from now on."

As soon as Ze'er finished speaking, the students immediately exploded.

"The Red Earl, it really is the Red Earl."

"Is that the Red Earl who single-handedly stood shoulder to shoulder with the Roger Pirates and the Hiku Pirates?"

"Yes, he's still a great swordsman like Principal Zell!"

…………

The students started a heated discussion. Zel did not restrict the spread of information. Although they had never left Sky Island, they also knew the name of the Red Earl.

Zel glanced at the Red Earl from the corner of his eye. He seemed to be very satisfied with his reputation, with a hint of the arrogance of a sea overlord on his face.

"The other is Douglas Barrett, 24 years old, very powerful, and once a member of the Pirate King Roger's crew. He is extremely powerful with his armed Haki."

Barrett crossed his arms over his chest, a terrifying expression on his face that said "keep away from strangers."

However, compared to when the Red Earl was introduced, the discussion was obviously much quieter.

Barrett's face turned a little embarrassed, especially when he heard someone say that he and Crocodile were evenly matched.

"That kid playing in the sand was clearly being beaten by me, but I just wasn't taking it seriously!"

"Humph!"

A trace of pressure spread out, and the listening students immediately shut their mouths.

In order to make the two of them quickly familiar with the teacher's identity, Zel planned to let the Red Earl show off his skills.

"Today is Teacher Hong's first teaching day. In order to let everyone see Teacher Hong's strength, I plan to hold a competition."

The Red Earl glanced at Zel. He didn't like this title very much. It didn't have the domineering feeling of the Red Earl.

But he didn't say anything. After all, if it weren't for Zel, he would still be in prison in Push City.

"All of you come together. If anyone can touch Mr. Hong, I will reward him with a chance to choose a devil fruit! Devil fruit users can exchange it for 300 million berries."

Upon hearing this good news, everyone in the elite class became excited. After all, devil fruits are treasures of the sea. Even though Zel has a lot of them, they still cannot be squandered at will.

Devil Fruit! 300 Million Beli!

Not to mention the students, even Barrett was a little eager to make a move.

After all, he is Roger's crew member, so it is inevitable that he is poor.

For the Roger Pirates who hold banquets every day, there are few days when their inventory exceeds 300 million berries.

Although the Red Earl was also surprised that Zel had placed such a large bet, he was only surprised for a moment.

After all, he is alone, and neither the devil fruit nor Bailey has much appeal to him.
