Time Travel: Age of Discovery

"Teacher Teya is here because of me, isn't it?"

Smoker asked Thea a question, and the latter did not deny it. After all, it was difficult to fabricate lies to deceive the other party. After all, the mission given to Thea by Kong was to supervise Smoker's growth.

After careful consideration of the matter, Thea guessed that Smoker's current behavior was not intentional. Everything has its cause and effect. Moreover, Thea had already foreseen what type of naval general Smoker might become in the future.

However, what Smoker lacks at this moment is only a process of transformation. Perhaps there is still a chance for him to be reshaped.

"You have gained a reputation, but to me, such fame means nothing. You must only act according to your convictions. As for my coming, it is by order of my superiors."

Thea looked directly at Smoker with sharp eyes. The two had worked together for a long time and had a mutual understanding.

Smoker stood in front of Thea, his former arrogance gone. He knew that only Thea could understand his choice.

After a brief pause, Smoker continued, "I follow my heart. What if I find out that this was a mistake? What should I do?"

He awaited Teya's answer, a question that he desperately needed to be answered. In his view, disobeying orders from superiors was unbecoming of a soldier, but if the order itself was wrong, should it still be obeyed?

bang——

Thea punched Smoker in the head.

"Disciple, if you had so many concerns, you should have obeyed your superior's orders. Why disobey?"

Smoker squatted down, stroked his head, and looked up at Thea.

Teya extended his hand and smiled, saying, "We all need to search for truth amidst many errors, so there is no need to worry. Just follow your heart."

Smoker pondered for a moment, then took Thea's outstretched hand and was pulled up by the other party.

"Teacher Teya, thank you for your guidance."

Hearing this, Teya smiled. It turned out that things were not as complicated as he had expected.

Time flies, and Teya has been the commander of the naval base for more than two months.

As expected, just as Kong expected, only Teya can control Smoker, after all, they have a deep relationship between master and apprentice.

However, Kong thought that Thea was not the only one who could control Smoker, but he was afraid that only Thea could make Smoker obey his orders sincerely. After all, he had a lot of experience in dealing with people.

Among the instructors who get along well with the recruits, Teya is second to none, perhaps because he is young and energetic.

Over the past two months, Kong has been closely following the developments at Thea's base. Smoker has indeed become much more restrained after following Thea.

Kong thinks that Smoker is quite similar to Thea when he first joined the navy, except that Smoker is sometimes too hot-blooded and impulsive, while Thea, even though he is strong enough, still maintains a cautious attitude.

Teya had disobeyed orders before, and even when Kong wanted to send him to garrison other bases, he had refused. But this time he readily accepted.

However, only if you have sufficient reasons can you respond calmly like Teya did.

Sora has high hopes for Smoker, believing that he just needs a guide, and that person is none other than Teja.

If there was no one else to choose from, Thea would not have been sent to the New World to perform patrol missions, otherwise Smoker would have been brought along.

Now it seems that this is also a rare opportunity for Smoker to hone his skills.

"New recruits always need to go through a period of adaptation. Back then..."

Sora murmured softly, as if recalling his own experiences as a young boy, thinking that he had once been a troubled teenager.

Inside the naval base, all the naval officers and soldiers gathered on the playground and lined up in an orderly manner.

Teya stood on a high platform and looked at everyone, then nodded with satisfaction.

Who could have expected that this disciplined navy team was so disorganized just two months ago?

After two months of strict management and training by Teya, it finally took shape.

This was an initiative taken by Thea to change Smoker, putting him in charge of managing and training this group of naval soldiers.

At first, Smoker was quite confused about this. Logically, it should be Thea who taught him, but now he was asked to manage others, which was obviously unreasonable.

Smoker immediately raised an objection to Thea, believing that he was the one who should be trained. Now he was asked to manage others as a problematic person. How could anyone listen to him?

However, Teya wanted to achieve this effect. He wanted Smoker to experience the feeling of being a manager facing subordinates who disobeyed orders, even if he was right.

Only through personal experience can Smoker deeply understand the truth. The body's memory is the most real and profound.

Therefore, Thea issued an order at the naval base, claiming that he was temporarily transferred for some reason, and all matters during this period would be handled by Lieutenant Smoker.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an instant stir in the naval base.

What? Letting Smoker take care of them? That's a joke.

How can someone who can't even control himself be qualified to lead them?

These naval soldiers had the same idea. They thought that how could someone who couldn't even manage himself manage them?

However, this was the order of Vice Admiral Thea. Although they did not dare to disobey, in the absence of Vice Admiral Thea, these naval soldiers naturally gave Smoker a cold look.

It was not until Smoker actually started to manage these navy soldiers that he understood the reason.

Once you become a manager, you cannot consider things one-sidedly. You must put the overall situation first and lead by example, otherwise you will not be able to win the trust of others.

Therefore, during the training of this group of naval soldiers, Smoker always ate and lived with them, and even in terms of training intensity, he required himself to do more than the soldiers.

All of this was seen by Teya who was observing secretly. He knew that his strategy had been effective.

When Smoker told Thea about his first encounter with such a situation at the base, Thea couldn't help but sigh with emotion...
