PFC Chapter 760 Enrollment
Chapter 760 Enrollment
Chapter 760 Enrollment
For nearly a thousand years, from the Russan Reforms to the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the only government-run military academy of the Galactic Republic was the Judicial Forces Military Academy located in the capital, Coruscant.
Because the Rusan Reforms were essentially a reform that limited the central administrative power and strengthened local autonomy, the reforms abolished the Republic's army, retaining only the judicial forces, and instead allowed each planet to form its own forces to be responsible for its own defense.
In other individual regions, such as the local military academies on Anax and Privsbelt IV, the local military academies are maintained by the local authorities. Although these academies have a long history and a prestigious reputation, they are strictly speaking private schools.
After the outbreak of the Clone Wars, military academies on the aforementioned planets replaced the limited judicial military academies, becoming the main source of officers for the Republic's armed forces. During the Clone Wars, the functions of these local military academies became increasingly sophisticated, gradually evolving into elite institutions that provided diverse military talent.
After Palpatine became emperor, the Galactic Empire reorganized and nationalized the various local military academies and judicial military academies. The new military academies were spread throughout the galaxy, forming a complete military academy system covering multiple branches and departments of the Empire's military.
These include military academies such as Calida Military Academy, Raitar Military Academy, and Krulag Military Academy. Strictly speaking, these local military academies were established much earlier than the Galactic Empire.
After the empire incorporated and integrated all military academies, it divided them into three corresponding systems according to its own military structure:
Imperial Naval Academy: Privsbelt IV Planet Naval Academy, Coruscant Flight Academy.
Imperial Army Military Academies: Raitar Military Academy, Korulag Imperial Military Academy.
Imperial Stormtrooper Academy: Calida Military Academy, Injol Royal Guard Academy.
Although they are divided into three different systems according to the three branches of the armed forces, long-established and large-scale comprehensive local military academies such as Calida Military Academy, Raitar Military Academy, and Krulag Military Academy have complete training facilities and teaching staff, so they also offer naval training courses and can train fighter pilots and fleet commanders.
Throughout the history of the Galactic Civil War, in both the legendary and canon universes, the Imperial Military Academy system has produced many outstanding officers for the Galactic Empire, such as Gerald Pereira and Natasi Dalla, as well as many outstanding officers for the Rebel Alliance, such as Krix Medin and Biggs Nightbright.
Among the many Imperial military academies, Calida Military Academy is undoubtedly the most famous and legendary, possessing the largest training facilities in the entire galaxy.
The early clone stormtroopers were trained here. With the implementation of the "Badge Project," the academy also opened the stormtrooper training program to natural humans. The two-year stormtrooper training was known for its harsh environment, attracting the best and bravest army cadets in the entire empire. Stormtroopers from Calida were undoubtedly the elite of the stormtroopers.
Caleda Military Academy boasts over 150,000 faculty, staff, and students, comprising several main academic modules and dozens of smaller branch colleges. It is said that few officers or cadets can endure a full semester of grueling training and fierce competition. Caleda has practically become synonymous with military education, revered as the "Imperial Military Academy."

Fu Qinghai sat in the cramped seat of the passenger spaceship, looking down at the things in his palms:
A small, black chip.
A paper admission notice.
This small black chip is the chain code, and the identity information inside can be read using a special scanning device. Fu Qinghai had already read the contents of the chip before setting off and memorized the forged identity information about himself.
The acceptance letter from Calida Military Academy was sealed in an elegant envelope, stamped with a red wax seal bearing the school emblem. Fu Qinghai had already opened it and read it, informing him that he had been accepted into Calida Military Academy's Stormtrooper Officer School.
Luxem Rael is indeed incredibly capable.
They not only obtained a legitimate identity chain code.
They even managed to secure a spot at the Caleda Military Academy.
Fu Qinghai recalled the TV series "Ando," in which Lusen Rael had a very high-ranking informant named Lonnie Young within the Imperial Security Bureau. He guessed that Lusen Rael likely obtained the identity chain code and military academy spot through this person.
Imperial Stormtroopers Academy.
Also known as Clifton College.
Fu Qinghai stared at those words in silence.
The Imperial Stormtroopers are the most unique of the three major military units of the Galactic Empire. Their equipment and training far surpass those of Imperial Army soldiers, much like the difference between the elite Imperial Guard of the Human Empire and ordinary planetary defense forces.
Calida Military Academy was the largest and most prestigious of all the local military academies. It was designated by the emperor to train stormtroopers, which shows the special status of the Imperial Stormtroopers in Palpatine's mind.
But Fu Qinghai didn't actually want to attend this college.
Official positions, military ranks, status, and career advancement are all meaningless to him. He's almost at the top of the military rank system of the Imperium of Man in the Warhammer 40K universe, just short of being crowned Regent of the Empire. Perhaps only the seat under Palpatine's buttocks holds any appeal for him.
Imperial Engineering College.
This is the academy that Fu Qinghai truly wants to attend.
For him, learning the science and technology of the Star Wars canon universe, especially military-related science and technology, is the most important thing. This is much more real than vague and illusory things like military ranks and official positions. This is the most valuable thing in a science fiction-themed reincarnation world.
Furthermore, becoming a technical officer does not mean being detached from official positions, status, and career advancement; these two are not contradictory. On the contrary, even observing the militaries of various countries in the real world reveals that the more modern the military, the higher the proportion of technical officers and the higher their ranks.
Take Orson Krennick from the Star Wars universe as an example: Orson Krennick, the director of the Galactic Empire's Advanced Weapons Research Department and the head of the Death Star project, is a typical technical officer. He was originally an engineer in the Republic, but he wielded considerable power and could even boss around the director of the Imperial Security Service.
"After enrolling, I need to look into whether I can transfer to another school at Calida Military Academy. If so, I'll have to find a way to transfer to the Imperial Engineering Academy. No matter how strict or grueling the stormtrooper training is, it's a waste of time for a Space Marine."
Fu Qinghai made a decision in his heart.
This is one of the reasons why he agreed to go undercover at the military academy.
In fact, most experienced reincarnators would not take this roundabout, undercover approach of infiltrating the enemy camp, because the risks and rewards of this approach are disproportionate, which is determined by the reward mechanism of the reincarnation world.
The Reincarnation World doesn't wait until the major storyline events conclude before settling rewards; instead, it rewards or deducts assimilation points periodically throughout the process. If a player kills a member of their own faction or a key storyline character during their infiltration, or pushes the plot towards the ending desired by the opposing faction, they will immediately lose assimilation points. If the infiltration fails and the player dies, the loss is even greater.
Fu Qinghai agreed to Lu Sen's arrangement for him to infiltrate the Imperial Military Academy because he had 2.9 billion assimilation points in his attribute panel account. He didn't lack assimilation points; what he lacked were things worth assimilating.
"Leave hyperspace in five minutes."
At that moment, the spaceship's loudspeaker blared:
"Passengers, please prepare for the journey."
"Approaching Calida."
……
Calida Galaxy, Calida Main Star.
Fu Qinghai looked down at the ground through the side window.
Centered on the Spinara Plateau and surrounded by dagger-like mountains, the military academy consists of several magnificent mega-buildings that serve as living quarters, dining spaces, training areas, and Kalida government offices.
The military academy's center is a large castle whose design echoes the ancient architecture of Coruscant and Raitare. Laser turrets and watchtowers are scattered along the castle walls, and the academy's holographic network transceiver is mounted on the southernmost spire.
The passenger spacecraft landed at the berth.
Fu Qinghai picked up his all-metal suitcase, slung a small leather shoulder bag over his chest, and followed the flow of people in the corridor, stepping onto a new piece of land once again via the landing ramp.
Looking up, the magnificent complex of buildings is built against the mountains or carved through the mountain walls, with a simple and square architectural style. This is the main gate of Calida Military Academy, the Gate of Solar Storms.
At this moment, the helipad at the school's main entrance was already filled with all sorts of spaceships. There were the elegantly sleek Naboo spaceships and the robust and durable Corellia spaceships. Countless young men and women in crisp uniforms were disembarking from the cabins of luxurious private spaceships—of course, there were also poor students like Fu Qinghai traveling on ordinary passenger spaceships.
But there wasn't a single person of any other race.
The Imperial Military Academy only admits humans.
"Hey buddy, how's it going?"
A dark hand waved in front of him.
Fu Qinghai turned his head and saw a smiling young black man standing next to him. The young man had thick lips, curly hair, and was dressed simply, carrying a huge backpack.
"You're also here to study at Calida, right?"
The young Black man warmly extended a hand:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yevander Kalanga. I'm from Nubia. Haha, you may not have heard of that place. It's really not famous. You just need to know that it's an ordinary planet in the Corellia Sector."
"Hello, Aoyama, from Eliadu."
Fu Qinghai reached out and shook hands with him.
This is the information from the chain code that Luxem forged.
"Ah, I know Eliadu, the pearl of the outer industrial ring."
The young Black man, Yevander, laughed heartily and complimented him:
"I got accepted into the Imperial Engineering Academy, what about you?"
"Imperial Stormtroopers Academy".
Fu Qinghai replied.
"Wow."
Yevander's gaze towards Fu Qinghai immediately changed:
"Wow, that's impressive, bro. I heard Clifton College is the hardest to get into. You were in the military before, right?"
"I did serve in that position for a period of time."
Fu Qinghai nodded.
"Hehe, so we're acquainted now, right? We'll have to look out for each other after we enroll."
Yevander patted Fu Qinghai on the shoulder.
"of course."
Fu Qinghai's answer did not disappoint him.
Yevander bid farewell to Fu Qinghai and left.
Fu Qinghai saw that Yevander approached several students to chat on his way into the school. This guy was actually very shrewd. He chose to talk to poor students who had come down from passenger ships like him. He would never greet the students who arrived in Calida on private ships.
"interesting."
Fu Qinghai smiled and continued walking towards the school gate.
……
The Gate of Solar Storms.
Following the instructions of the on-site faculty and staff, Fu Qinghai scanned his iris and left his fingerprints to complete the identity verification and entry. Then, he carried his large suitcase toward the dormitory area.
Fu Qinghai was assigned a single dormitory room, a privilege supposedly reserved for officers from the Stormtroopers Academy. The room wasn't very big, but it had all the necessary furniture and facilities.
Fu Qinghai put down his all-metal suitcase and searched under the table, in the cabinets, and under the bed to make sure there were no eavesdropping or surveillance devices. Then he took off the camel-skin satchel from his chest. He stood in the bathroom for a while, stepped on the toilet, and gently lifted the bathroom ceiling panel, hiding the Dragon Sword in the gap between the ceiling and the pipes.
After concealing the light stick and covering up all traces, Fu Qinghai dusted off his hands and returned to his bedroom. A set of gray-green student uniforms lay neatly folded on his single bed, with a white envelope on top of the clothes.
Fu Qinghai opened the envelope and unfolded the letter inside.
"The Empire has stood for nine years and will endure for millennia. The transformation from Republic to Empire signifies an unprecedented and great transfer of power in the galaxy. The remnants of the old Republic are no longer viable, and its people are mired in despair. While the Republic's incompetent politicians wavered between success and destruction, I made the choice for them."
"Unity bestows glory upon us."
"Under the imperial system, we praise:"
"The sole ruler."
"The only legal code."
"The only universal language."
"The only social development education."
"The Empire will show no mercy to those who attempt to undermine the cause of unification. Violence will be the only way to stop violence. This is the only language that rebels and traitors can understand."
"As a commander under my command, you are part of the largest military force in the history of the galaxy. You must understand your identity and fulfill your duties."
"—By His Majesty Emperor Palpatine"
This was a letter from the emperor to the new students of the military academy. Fu Qinghai examined it carefully. The main text was printed, but the signature at the end, Shiv Palpatine, was handwritten. It was very likely that it was indeed the emperor's own signature.
Fu Qinghai put away the letter, then took off his clothes and changed into the brand-new student uniform on the bed. The uniform continued the consistent design style of the Imperial Army uniform: simple lines, neat cuts, and a crisp silhouette. The only difference was that there was no rank insignia on the right chest and no password tube on the belt.
The uniform was custom-made to his height and weight, and a pair of military boots that fit his size were placed next to the bed.
Fu Qinghai stood up and looked at himself in the full-length mirror. He casually struck a few poses and thought he looked incredibly handsome.
If the Imperial military had any eyes, they should hire themselves as models to shoot recruitment posters.
Fu Qinghai tidied himself up briefly, then left his dormitory and walked to the military training base.
As instructed by the staff, he needs to complete the final procedure before formal enrollment—a physical examination.
Thus begins the first test that Fu Qinghai, who is infiltrating the Calida Military Academy, will face: it's not wilderness survival, desert combat simulation, or underwater combat strategy...
The question is... how to pass the medical examination?
Even with the Pym Rays to shrink his size, he still has two hearts, three lungs, and a black carapace beneath his skin—something he can't change. Not to mention the neural interfaces embedded in his body; these abnormalities can be discovered simply by taking off his clothes, without even needing a physical examination.
Fu Qinghai walked and pondered.
From the dormitory area to the training base, he traversed the entire campus, surrounded by various basic and advanced training facilities, including numerous drill grounds, firing ranges, simulation rooms, and storage equipment. Different models of retired walking machines were placed along both sides of the main corridor, serving as a powerful reminder of the Empire's military might. In the center of the square stood a colossal statue of Palpatine.
Fu Qinghai stood at the entrance of the training base.
People were coming and going on the steps outside the gate.
Newly enrolled students all come here for physical examinations.
Fu Qinghai's eyes darted around.
Suddenly, he locked onto something.
A small, black, box-like wheeled robot was turning around on the polished floor of the training base's lobby. No one passing by paid it any attention, and it went about its mundane cleaning tasks without a care in the world.
MSE-6 repair robots, also known as "mouse robots," can perform single functions such as cleaning, security, repair, and communication by installing different skill packs. They are commonly found on Galactic Empire warships or bases, undertaking basic maintenance and information transmission tasks. Multiple robots working together can improve efficiency.
"Qinghun, I can't go for the physical exam, but I need a report. My physical fitness indicators are slightly better than average, and I'm fairly average in all aspects, not too outstanding."
Fu Qinghai silently called for the symbiote.
"I am here, master."
An evil voice slowly awakened.
Fu Qinghai stepped onto the stairs and strode into the training base. He followed a small black robot into the restroom. He subtly looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, squatted down and placed his palm on the back of the robot's box.
A purple gel-like substance welled up from the palm of his hand.
It suddenly disappeared into the gap in the outer shell.
The small black robot, which was focused on cleaning the toilet floor, suddenly began to tremble. Purple lumps of glue bulged out of the gaps in its mechanical structure and then quickly retracted. The normally lit white indicator light turned into an eerie purple.
"Beep beep, tap tap."
The mouse robot spun around in place.
It emitted a ticking sound in binary language.
"I don't know what's going on in the examination room, so I can't give you specific instructions. You'll have to be flexible and adaptable."
Fu Qinghai squatted down and instructed the robot:
"I believe in you, Qinghun. You are no less capable than Qingming!"
Fu Qinghai's words were like an adrenaline shot to the symbiote. After hearing this, the little black robot instantly sped up and disappeared outside the toilet door.
Fu Qinghai stood up and looked in the direction it had disappeared.
The first-generation symbiotes, born on the planet Klinta, were often eccentric, violent, and difficult to tame. This was determined by their creator, the Dark God Nar. However, the second-generation and even third-generation symbiotes, which split from the first-generation symbiotes, were often more influenced by their first host in terms of personality.
Qinghun is an electromechanical symbiote born from a computer. It was an accident caused by Justin's operational error. At that time, the only file on that computer was the engineering architecture file of the artificial intelligence Qingming. Therefore, Qinghun's initial thoughts and consciousness almost entirely originated from Qingming.
The two are like twin sisters.
The Azure Soul should be smarter than a typical symbiote, right?
Fu Qinghai looked at the examination room and thought to himself.
