Chapter 571 - 590: A Serious Inspection
The Federation University students had recently been undergoing highly mechanical training.
Although the weighted obstacle course was no longer as difficult for them as it once was, making it relatively easy to complete, the mechanical, repetitive motions over such a long training period were still exhausting.
But whenever they felt exhausted, they couldn’t help but remember the head coach’s words:
Everything you’re training for now will be presented to Admiral Mo Si!
It was as if their energy was instantly restored.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Then, on one unremarkable morning, the garrison camp received a communication from the Military Department office—the Admiral was, indeed, coming.
The hero’s glory was truly about to shine upon the Federation’s garrison.
Every single person was assembled and ready.
The student formation that Jiang Qiuqiu was in also began the day’s training under the leadership of their drill instructor.
During their training, everyone suddenly heard the sound of chanting in the distance.
It was rousing and uniform, filled with vitality and fervor.
After that sound rang out, the drill instructors on the training ground all glanced outside.
Jiang Qiuqiu had been watching them the whole time. Seeing their reaction, she knew. ’He’s here.’

Outside, reporters from the mainstream media were using several camera drones to film the day’s inspection from all angles.
Of them, the most eye-catching was the man standing at the very front of the group. Because it was an inspection, he was dressed extremely formally.
A crisp, dark-green military uniform perfectly accentuated his physique. As the inspector, and as a sign of respect, he had pinned the three medals of merit he had earned to the front of his uniform.
The clinking of the silver and gold medals against each other as he walked drew one’s gaze unconsciously to his face.
His eyes were sharp, his jawline smooth and defined—like a hawk. Just by standing there, he was a living legend to the younger generation.
At this moment, he was standing at the edge of the training grounds, observing the soldiers.
The garrison commander was also at his side.
"Admiral, this is our daily training."
A camera drone zoomed in for a close-up on the soldiers on the field.
Generally, there were two types of people who joined the garrison.
The first were recent graduates, not yet skilled enough to enter the corps. They were selected by the local garrison, which counted as entering the military, and could slowly improve themselves through training with the hope of eventually entering a corps.
The other type were those who had retired after serving in a corps for several years and were then accepted by the local garrison.
As a result, many of the faces captured by the camera drones were no longer young.
But they were still dedicated and zealous.
Mo Si watched them and inquired about some of the details of their training.
The commander answered each question in detail. After they had spoken for a while, Mo Si called for a pause in the training.
"Let everyone rest for a bit."
It was supposed to be a break, but under inspection, how could anyone possibly relax... They were all just a bit... stiff and awkward.
So after receiving the command to stop, many of them just stood rooted to the spot, completely motionless, as if they were being punished by having to stand still.
The sight left the commander speechless. He kept trying to make eye contact and gesture at them from the side, but no one was picking up on his cues. Finally, he had no choice but to speak up. "What’s wrong? You’re usually thrilled to get a break. Did seeing Admiral Mo make you forget how to rest?"
"Go sit in your usual rest area for a bit. We’ll resume training in ten minutes."
Only with his words did everyone finally disperse.
The people scattered, but their gazes did not.
Mo Si had lived under constant scrutiny since childhood, so he didn’t feel uncomfortable. He turned his head and asked the commander, "Are some of the soldiers here who retired from the corps due to injury also in this training group?"
"Yes... The ones whose injuries aren’t severe are all training."
He looked thoughtful. "Take me to see them."
