The Formidable Bullet!
[Thump, thump, thump]
"Come in."
Inside the principal's office, Zephyr smiled as he looked at Vidal as he entered. "Just in time! No wonder you personally killed 'Ryokugyu,' Rear Admiral 'The Red the Aloof'!"
"Hey, don't say that. Don't you know what really happened? Besides, these two things are unrelated." Vidal sat down in the chair opposite him with a sigh.
"Hmph, you still remember to come see me, kid. I thought you looked down on this retired old man." Zephyr put down his pen and snorted.
"How could that be? A position is just a position. Your abilities speak for themselves. Not to mention Marineford, you're a big shot wherever you go. Compared to you, I'm still far behind!" Vidal laughed.
"Hey, you're pretty rational, aren't you?"
Zephyr looked the old student up and down with surprise, then laughed, "I thought you'd been fooled by those empty titles and had forgotten who you were. Not bad, not bad."
"How could that be? After witnessing the power of Fleet Admiral Kong and 'The Red the Aloof,' even any arrogance I had before must have vanished. Sigh." At this point, Vidal sighed with lingering fear, "If it weren't for Borsalino and Sakazuki's timely support, I really wouldn't be back this time."
"When I received the message, Fleet Admiral Kong had already set off. After all, I'm no longer Admiral, and such urgent intelligence wouldn't be delivered to me immediately."
"I understand." Vidal naturally understood this principle, and sensing that the topic was a bit heavy, he immediately put on a bright smile. "Teacher, I came here this time to take advantage of the time before I go to take up my post in Sabaody to learn about my three children."
"Yes, as you mentioned on the phone before, let's look at these three documents first." Zephyr didn't bring up the previous matter again, and took three documents out of the drawer and placed them on the table.
Vidal immediately noticed the portraits of Bullet and the other two printed on the document. Without bothering to choose anything, he casually picked up the one with Enel in the middle.
He skipped over the name, age, and class, and went straight to the grades for each subject, then a long string of black lines appeared above his head.
"That brat."
The results showed that, just as Enel had said that morning, his physical skills grade was an A, but none of his other theoretical courses were A's; they were almost all C's, with only one B. No wonder he didn't dare mention his theoretical grades.
"Enel is lively, active, and even brave, but he lacks patience for theoretical knowledge and is somewhat resistant to following rules." Zephyr didn't need to look at the chart at all; how could he not know the disciple he had taken on?
"He has a famous saying that's quite well-known among the teachers and students of the Navy Elementary School. Listen to it."
Vidal looked up curiously, only to see Zephyr say expressionlessly, "The reason I have to follow the school rules is because the school is stronger than me. If I were stronger than the school, then the school should follow my rules!"
"This."
Vidal was stunned. Why did that sound so familiar?
"I don't know where he picked up that idea, but I beat him up back then." Zephyr looked at the embarrassed Vidal with a deep gaze. The latter scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "You know what happened to that kid. It was probably those Skypieans on Birka Island who gave Enel this idea of power above all else. After all, he was bullied terribly back then."
"Yes, that's true."
Zephyr's expression changed as he realized that what he said made a lot of sense. Indeed, it was normal for someone to have a somewhat extreme personality, having been driven to ruin by the entire island at such a young age and subjected to countless forms of discrimination and bullying while all alone.
"I'll pay more attention to this. I don't want Enel to become a violent monster like Bullet."
"Uh, what's wrong with Bullet now?" Vidal was completely confused.
"Ever since the incident where he challenged the entire school, the students dared not provoke him anymore, so he went to challenge the teachers. According to him, the teachers were all wearing Justice Coats and must be naval officers, making them perfect punching partners."
"And then?" Vidal clicked his tongue, feeling he'd guessed the outcome. Sure enough, Zephyr said, "He injured three male teachers who accepted the challenge—two slightly and one seriously. In the end, it was your mother Enid healed them!"
Vidal fell silent, then asked softly, "Are they civilian or military personnel?"
"They are all Majors who teach students swordsmanship, physical skills, and combat techniques."
Hearing this, Vidal breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I knew that kid, although he admires fighting, isn't the kind of guy who likes to deliberately cause trouble for the weak. And those teachers, why do they accept challenges for no reason?"
"Hmph, Bullet challenged them in front of all the students after class. How many people do you think could swallow that?" Zephyr sneered.
"Is Bullet that strong now? Even Major from headquarters isn't a match for him?"
"It was alright before, but ever since you gave him that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, his strength has skyrocketed." Zephyr sighed helplessly; he was also quite troubled by this kid. "Let me put it this way: he has already mastered the Six Powers, and even created his own derivative technique, 'Iron Body Fist: Cannon.'"
"The seriously injured Major Peter was injured because he arrogantly used his 'Tekkai' to take five punches from Bullet. Fortunately, the kid realized something was wrong and stopped. According to him, the standard 'Cannon' move is to deliver twelve consecutive punches!"
"Well--"
Vidal was at a loss for words. If all of these hit, wouldn't Bullet become the first student to kill his teacher on the spot?
"It was alright before, but ever since you fed him that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, his power has skyrocketed, and the Sonic Booms that accompany his attacks can cause immense damage to people's ears and bodies!"
At this point, Zephyr spread his palms, glaring hatefully at Vidal, "Now, only an officer who has mastered Haki can control him!"
"So how are the three teachers now?" Vidal asked weakly. There was nothing he could do; the child had caused trouble, and the parents had to take responsibility.
"Those with minor injuries have already been discharged from the hospital, while the one with serious injuries, although saved by Enid's superb medical skills, should still be recuperating in bed."
"Then I'll go to the hospital later. If it's just a physical problem, my abilities should be fine. If it really comes down to it, I'll call Nacil over, and we can use traditional Chinese medicine together!" Vidal said without any hesitation.
"Yes, that's what you should do. It would be best to reduce his suffering for a few days. Since then, I have ordered that Bullet be forbidden from challenging anyone else, and that teachers and students be forbidden from accepting his challenges." Zephyr nodded with satisfaction, feeling that he had taught a good student.
"That's good, that's good."
[Knock knock!]
Just then, a rapid knocking sounded at the door, and before Zephyr could say anything, the person pushed the door open and barged in. This made Vidal and Zephyr frown, but the words the person said, panting, made their expressions change drastically.
"Headmaster!"
"Bullet and that Kuzan are fighting on the Sports Field!"
