Chapter 669: Chapter 688: Qiuqiu’s Decision: A Double Major
Watching that video on repeat for too long was hard on the heart.
After watching it a few times, Jiang Qiuqiu closed the video and sent Mo Si a message.
But he didn’t reply. She didn’t know if he was resting or busy commanding at the front.
There was no way of knowing. It was getting later and later, but Jiang Qiuqiu found it hard to feel sleepy at a time like this.
She opened her terminal again and scrolled through the tag under the Imperial Blade topic.
Everything was still arranged quite neatly. Mo Si had his own trending topic, and right below it was one for the heroes as a group.
It featured many young commanders and new recruits on the battlefield. Jiang Qiuqiu had just been casually scrolling through videos to pass the time, but for some reason, an interview with a new recruit suddenly struck a chord with her.
It just really resonated.
"May I ask why you joined the Polar Army?" the reporter asked with a smile. "You seem to come from a well-off family."
The young man had a small brooch pinned to his collar, an item that could be considered a luxury accessory.
A person who owned something like that couldn’t have come from a poor family.
"Choosing a career doesn’t really have anything to do with family wealth... though I know this particular front isn’t exactly popular with parents."
"My parents didn’t support me coming here either, but I came anyway."
"There’s no complex reason. I graduated from Federation University. I still remember going to the Mecha Single Soldier System for the first time as a freshman. There was a motto over the department entrance: ’The future—to battle alongside you across the sea of stars.’"
The words just felt so epic to him back then.
He didn’t know why it felt so epic, but it made his young heart skip a beat, planting the desire to one day battle among the stars.
"After that, I just really grew to love Mechas, and I loved piloting them."
"I really wanted to experience the exhilaration of fighting enemies to my heart’s content, so here I am."
...
’The reason I can’t sleep is actually very clear now,’ Jiang Qiuqiu thought.
The three-month deadline was fast approaching. She truly loved the Mecha Single Soldier System and didn’t want to lose her chance to battle across the sea of stars. But she also didn’t want to give up on learning Spirit Healing; she wanted to bring hope to patients suffering from Gene collapse.
She knew exactly what she wanted. And she was ready to take that step.
She had an idea—
She opened her terminal and searched.
[Can a student at Federation University pursue a double major, taking courses in two systems?]
-Yes, our university has a dual-degree system. It’s all on the official website. You can see the possible combinations there.
Jiang Qiuqiu switched over to the official website and looked for the major combinations.
But the results were as expected: majors that emphasized control, required talent, and demanded immense amounts of rote practice—like Mecha Manufacturing, Mecha Soldier, Realm of Spirit, and so on—could not be a dual major. They could only be paired with a non-control-based major.
Not possible.
’Time to continue the search.’
[Has anyone at Federation University studied both Mecha Soldier and Spirit Healing?]
The search came up empty.
’Okay, let’s try another school.’
’What about the Federal Military Academy?’
Nothing.
The few results that popped up were mostly personal ads, posts that just happened to contain both keywords.
’What if I remove the school name? Is there anyone in the entire interstellar space who does both?’
No one.
’Damn it, am I really the first one to think of this?’
’Being the first is always the hardest.’
’But being the first is also thrilling.’
’Especially since...’
’I am just one person, but I’m not just another "first" with an empty dream.’
Jiang Qiuqiu felt she had a real chance of success.
She had taken courses from the Spirit Healing Department with Mrs. Ai’er before. A lot of it wasn’t that difficult; she could handle it.
Besides, her healing specialty was food-based. Cooking was a joy for her, something she never got tired of. On top of that, she possessed a special type of Growth System Spiritual Power.
Constant training would increase her spiritual power. In turn, an increase in her overall spiritual power would also boost her Healing Spiritual Power. In a way, training in both majors at once would actually be beneficial for her.
’Of course, it would be incredibly hard.’
’Or, to put it another way, my university years would be very... "fulfilling."’
’So what if it’s hard! If I want to learn more, end this indecision, and confidently declare "I want it all," then I have to be willing to pay a small price.’
’My path is clear now. So, the next step is—’
’How do I get Federation University to agree to this?’
