(Location: Somewhere in the Waters of the USA — Abandoned Island A)
(Time: Monday Early Afternoon in the 1st Week of March 1930)
In this early afternoon, Vale, Belfast, and 50+ manjuus are on board the Destroyer Clemson-Class Barker. With their current speed of 35 knots, they will be arriving at the abandoned island A, because there are so many abandoned islands around the world due to buildings like temporary ports or naval bases against the sirens, they either abandoned them or some of them retreat due to the relentless attacks against the sirens.
The Clemson-Class Barker detected no naval mines underwater and no mass-produced siren models in the area. Vale didn't wear any protection gear nor did he need assistance from Belfast if he needed up in danger because those types of things he didn't care about, using his fists and any weapon can deal with anyone. He and Belfast were standing outside the destroyer, but Belfast insisted him to sat down and have a cup of tea.
Vale declined, but if he keeps declining Belfast might do something bad. So, he accepts the offer, Vale drinks the tea including some snacks while Belfast is standing beside him, he tells Belfast to sit down but declines, he insists but still declines as she smiles at Vale thanking him for the offer, but still declines to sit down.
A few minutes later...
They arrived at the abandoned island A, Vale could see the buildings were old and had been covered by vines and trees. The Destroyer Clemson-Class Barker parked at the old naval port that had cracks and been covered by grasses. Vale and Belfast came out first to do some scouting if there were resources on this island while the Manjuus was preparing the Destroyer Clemson-Class to stop its engine.
Belfast who has more information about the abandoned islands across the waters of the Eagle Union Fraction guided him to the storage room where most of the resources can be found. After a few minutes had passed going towards the storage room, Vale opened the iron door and Belfast expected that there were vast amounts of ammunition and other minerals found there, with no hesitation Vale used his Levitation Magic to lift all the resources as they both head back to the Destroyer.
Belfast was surprised that he was able to bring them all to the warship, Belfast used her magical device that was given from the Azur Lane, which Otherworlders can trust, and she detected that Vale was mana was emitting between Rank C- to Rank C+. According to the Otherworlders that is just average mana being used from their world, but from Vale's perspective using this mana is very small to him, maybe due to his mana proficiency that he always practiced since young.
After finding all the resources throughout the abandoned island (A), the Destroyer Clemson-Class Barker sets sail to find another abandoned island. Most of the resources they find are Ammunitions, Unused Weapons, Notes, Documents, Minerals, and Naval Parts (Small Sizes), but the more they find resources the more the warship's capacity reaches its maximum limit, but Vale places runes in each of the resources they find, a rune that as an ability to make the object light as a feather, making it possible to increase more cargo in the warship.
A few hours later, they gathered almost thrice the cargo that Belfast didn't expect. Belfast told Vale that it was enough and it was also getting late, the reason she told Vale is that when night came, twice or thrice of the mass-produced siren models would appear, and high chances of an Executor-Class Siren would also appear. Vale agreed as the Destroyer Clemson-Class Barker headed back to Washington DC, where the Eagle Union Main Base is located.
(Eagle Union Fraction — Naval Port — Late Afternoon)
The Destroyer Clemson-Class Barker finally arrived at the ports of the Eagle Union Outer Base. Few Petty Officers ranging from Third Class to First Class waited for them. Vale went out first, then Belfast, everyone was very shocked at what they witnessed because they saw Vale using Levitation Magic carrying almost a ton of cargo from ammunition, minerals, weapons, and other materials that they found.
Most of the Otherworlders were surprised how Seaman Apprentice (SA) Valerius was able to use much mana to carry and transport all those, well most of them didn't know that when mastery of mana proficiency the cost of using would decrease or no cost at all, but when comes to Vale's World (Accel's World) Levitation Magic is a very common magic of daily uses when comes to transporting goods or items.
He handed all the items to the commission center making their jaws drop and were surprised at the amount that Vale brought, they asked Belfast about the confirmation and it was true, he alone finished it without the help of others. And something occurs to the system of Vale from his world.
[System Error: "Due to the unexpected turn of events happening to you, Otherworlder Accel Winchester, you are given access to the favorability of your favorite shipgirls, would you like to accept?"]
[Vale: "I would decline."]
[System Error: "Huh? Why would you decline? This is your oppor..."]
[Vale: "I said I decline, I don't need your help system of this world! Disappear and never talk to me! You damn fucking system! I know who you are and do not mess with me System of the Void Dominion!"]
[System Error: "Hahaha! I can't believe you can know my identity, fine you win Otherworlder Accel. Be warned that you will be killed by us..."]
[Vale: "Skill! System Breaker!"]
[System Error: "Wait! ... ... ... What have... you... d..one... ... ..."]
[Vale: "Finally some peace."]
Light Cruiser Belfast: "Sir Vale, what's wrong? You have been quiet all of a sudden, is there something wrong?"
Vale: [Smiled] "No, it's just some annoying bugs that came into trouble with me that I need to deal with, you don't have to worry, Belfast."
(Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean)
Executive Evil Otherworlder A: "What's going on? What happened to the system???"
Executive Evil Otherworlder B: "Sir! I do not know, an error came and we are unable to use it!"
Executive Evil Otherworlder C: "Wait, what??? Who the hell did this to us!!!"
Because of that, the system that is being used by the Void Dominion was unable to be used for a long period, but those problems will appear again in the future of Azur Lane History. Because of Vale's astonishing completion of the resource extraction, he was promoted from Seaman Apprentice (SA) to Seaman (SN).
In just a week, he was the fastest to be promoted and if this keeps up he might reach the officer ranks that made everyone... I mean almost everyone is mad and jealous about Vale. As for Petty Officer Third Class Hanson and Petty Officer Second Class Fred, they finally noticed that Valerius Silverblade was their Captain, Accel Winchester that made them shocked and just forget about it...
Because this was happening, those shipgirls who were afraid or those who labeled him as a dangerous individual were lying down slowly and as for Belfast, it seems she gave a smile at the end of today's commission...
