Chapter 336: Rest After Training

Since the master knows that balancing work and rest is important, why can't you treat yourself that way? Lately you've been overworking; the book can be written anytime, it doesn't have to be finished right away.

Walking on the campus road, Belfast said to Qin Ge who was walking ahead, her tone full of concern.

I... I'm not like them; I can't rest, at least not until we've established a foothold. Qin Ge said.

Master, I think you're being too stubborn. Belfast said, I understand your feelings, but please don't forget the most important thing.

Our fleet exists because of you; if one day you fall, then our fleet will be in name only.

I understand, thank you for the reminder, Belfast. Qin Ge replied with a smile.

However, Belfast, walking behind Qin Ge, frowned slightly, feeling that although Qin Ge agreed verbally, he might not actually follow through.

But after thinking, if Qin Ge continues as usual in the future, she could adopt some special methods. With that thought, Belfast's lips curled into a faint arc.

While they were talking, the two returned inside, but the ship girls weren't there; it looked like they had gone for daily training.

Qin Ge also didn't plan to go directly to the training field now, because the ship girls have their own training methods; he only goes to the field to guide them when it comes to team cooperation training.

He himself, upon returning, went straight to the room, opened the book, and continued writing. Belfast saw this and didn't say anything, after all Qin Ge's work had only just begun today.

As time passed second by second, Qin Ge leaned over the desk, at times lifting his head to gaze out the window, his eyes unfocused as if pondering something; at times he bowed his head, writing furiously, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

At times he rubbed his hair, thinking hard; at times he flipped through the books placed nearby, searching for something.

Belfast watched all this, until she heard a sound outside, then she went out.

Sure enough, just as she reached the hallway, she saw Guanghui and Bisimai, among others, chatting while walking up the stairs.

"Hey, Belfast, if you're here, the commander must have returned, right?" Guanghui greeted Belfast, saying, "Since we belong to the Royal faction, our relationship is still very good."

"Yes, Miss Guanghui." Belfast nodded and said, "The master has been back for a while and is now writing a book. You've all worked hard; please sit a moment in the lounge, I'll go get everyone a cup of hot tea."

After saying that, Belfast walked over to the nearby water station. The other ship girls came up the stairs one after another, then went to the lounge and sat in the chairs beside the table.

Soon, Belfast walked over with a teapot, placed a teacup in front of each person, filled it with black tea. She also took out some snacks and small cakes, placing them on the table where the ship girls were gathered.

Words of thanks came one after another; only after the last person's tea was poured did Belfast stand beside the table where Guanghui and the others were seated.

"It's almost time for a meal, isn't it?" Guanghui said while sipping tea.

"That's right, there are five minutes left; I need to go to the cafeteria to get food from Miss Yixian." Belfast said.

"As expected of the Royal faction's perfect head maid, your timing is spot-on." Lie Kexindun said with a smile.

"By the way, Belfast, you didn't come to training this morning; was it because you went to the opening ceremony with the commander?" Guanghui asked.

"Yes." Belfast nodded, "And after the opening ceremony, I went with the master to Commander Li Chenming's residence."

"Oh? Then it seems the commander's fleet training plan is about to launch." Prince Ou Gen Qin Wang said.

That's right, today the master told Commander Li Chenming that starting tomorrow afternoon, we will conduct comprehensive training of the grand fleet.

"The reason is that in one month we'll face the Siren Tide; the master wants to do his best, using this time to further strengthen the abilities of each commander in the grand fleet." Belfast said.

"Indeed." Prince Ou Gen Qin Wang chuckled, shaking his head, "But this is also part of the plan; when the time comes, we must take the training seriously and raise their abilities."

"That way they'll become part of our forces; we must manage them well so they can share some of the commanders' burdens—that would be the best outcome."

"That's the best outcome, but unfortunately we can't tell them what's inside; otherwise the pressure from the Nine Major Factions would be unbearable for anyone." Guanghui said worriedly.

"You ladies can rest assured on this point; the master didn't mention it when he came by today, and Commander Li Chenming is someone who reads the room, so he didn't ask about it."

"However, I suspect he might have thought of something, and he's done a good job controlling his curiosity." Belfast said.

"But hiding it definitely won't last long; the Nine Major Factions' lurkers are already in the academy, and we'll surely run into them later." Luodenni said, shaking his head.

"Don't you think you're worrying too much?" Bisimai, who had been silent, set down her teacup and said to everyone.

"Our commander, when selecting members, has indeed given them plenty of pressure. Only he would have the madness to send first-year students from the Commander Academy to face the Siren Tide."

"Even so, the members of the grand fleet still chose to follow; do you think they made this decision without careful thought?"

"Following a commander like this is essentially a gamble; if they win, they'll follow the commander into history; even if they lose, they'll have a chance to regret."

"There's plenty of such things in here."

After hearing Bisimai's words, all the ship girls nodded in agreement. Prince Ou Gen Qin Wang beside her smiled and said, "Indeed, you still have such sharp thinking even now."

"No, I just believe him." After saying that, Bisimai fell silent.

"To be someone who earns Bisimai's trust, our commander truly is remarkable." Prince Ou Gen Qin Wang gave a slight smile, his gaze gradually relaxing.

At that moment, Belfast bowed to the few people and said, "Time's up; I'm also heading to the cafeteria to get a meal. Please wait a moment."

"Mm."
