The floating public bus sped towards Hua City.

As it entered the city and the passengers caught sight of the bustling and modern metropolis, they all crowded to the windows, marveling in awe.

Planet D-312, known far and wide as the Star of Military Academies, initially chosen for its vastness and sparse population, became the headquarters of the Comprehensive Emperor One Academy.

Over the centuries, as the population grew, it gradually transformed into a series of mini-cities. Each city radiated outward from the major military academies at its center.

It could be said that the livelihoods and all economic and political activities of the empire's people depended on these major military academies.

Among all the cities, Hua City was the most vibrant and bustling. The legendary "Comprehensive Emperor One Academy" was right at the heart of this city.

(T/N I've been using the wrong name. Luhoa is the academy he came from and emperor one is the one he's going to. Sorry about that.)

Legend has it that the first thing the people of Hua City did every morning was to open their windows and pay homage to the emblem of "Emperor One," hoping for a smooth day ahead.

Lu Ke, sticking close to the window, couldn't help but envy: "It must be easy for people here to enter military academies."

"The difficulty level is the same everywhere," someone replied, "but it's indeed easier to get to know the influential figures in the military."

That was something to envy indeed.

Lu Ke gnawed on his handkerchief with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Just then, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, almost brushing against the window.

Lu Ke was taken aback, thinking he was seeing things, and couldn't help but rub his eyes. But when he opened them again, even more shadows flew past.

He jumped in fright, stepping back and grabbing Bai Yu's collar: "W-what's going on? People are flying in the sky!?"

At his words, Bai Yu also looked out the window.

Lu Ke wasn't exaggerating; indeed, several figures were swiftly gliding forward, almost faster than the speed of the floating bus!

They were either skateboarding or using rollers on their feet. Whether it was the ground, the roof of vehicles, or the walls, those were their paths.

These people were agile, their faces masked, their identities indiscernible. Their daring maneuvers and high-difficulty actions at every turn left bystanders astonished and amazed.

But they paid no heed, stepping through the air and tracing a beautiful parabola in the sky.

Soon, these people disappeared from the students' view, leaving everyone speechless.

Once the shock wore off, Lu Ke, no longer seeing ghosts, returned to the window. "W-why were they flying?"

However, this time, no one could answer him. Everyone was new to the school and didn't understand the situation here.

Bai Yu replied, "I think it's because they were using military equipment."

"Military equipment?" Lu Ke was bewildered.

Bai Yu was referring to skateboards and rollers. He had seen some documentaries before, where soldiers used props to accomplish certain tasks. Only the props they used looked much more formal than those of the people they just witnessed.

"That's right, military equipment," Bai Yu confirmed.

Perhaps hearing Bai Yu's words, the senior sister in the driver's seat didn't turn her head. "Once you're enrolled and accumulate enough military achievements, you can exchange them for these items. You can even find someone to customize them to your liking."
