Chapter 3: The Training Begins

The next day, Feri woke up early to take a shower. After hearing the shower running, Meras woke up and wait for Feri so she can take a shower as well.

After Feri got done with her shower, she put her cadet uniform on and waited on her bunk for Meras.

"You go ahead to the mess hall. I'll meet you there!" Meras yelled while in the barrack's shower.

"Will do!" Feri exclaimed to Meras with a cheerful tone.

Soon after Meras was done with her shower and changed into the cadet uniform, she went to the mess hall to get some breakfast.

As she entered the mess hall, there wasn't an alien in sight, as the Empire had a hatred for alien species.

She got a tray and got some food on it, and went out to seek Feri.

"Over here, Meras!" Feri yelled to her friend.

Meras saw Feri and walked over to her table.

She sat down next to Feri and began to eat.

"So what do you think our flash training will be about?" Feri asked curiously

"I heard about flash training. You learn some tactics, learn how to use weapons, the usual stuff." Meras told her friend with a slight cheerful tone.

"Sounds neat!" exclaimed Feri.

"You sure are excited about this whole flash training thing Feri." Meras chuckled as she said this to her friend.

"You bet I am, Meras!" Feri exclaimed once again.

After the two girls finished eating, they both headed back to the barracks.

"Attention all cadets, please proceed to the flash training classroom located on the second floor." echoed the loudspeaker throughout the academy.

"Better head over to the classroom for flash training." Feri said.

"Right." Meras responded with a nod to her friend.

As the two girls walked with each other, they were joined by the other cadets.

They eventually reached a set of three turbolifts leading to the many floors of the academy.

All the cadets got in three at a time in each turbolift, and waited for the rest of the cadets on the second floor.

After all of the cadets were on the second floor, they proceeded to walk to the flash training classroom.

"Welcome to your first flash training session, cadets." Chief Instructor Tagge said to the group of cadets as they were approaching the classroom.

They proceeded to walk inside of the classroom and take a seat. Feri sat next to Meras.

"Do you think we'll be learning about the history of the Empire?" Feri whispered to Meras.

"I don't think so, Feri. Might want to head over to one of the libraries for that." Meras whispered back to Feri.

Chief Instructor Tagge entered the classroom, and motioned for silence in the room.

Everyone in the room became quiet.

"Greetings, cadets. Today, we will be learning tactics, weapon usage, and much more." said Tagge.

As he teached them weapons usage, tactics, and more, Feri and Meras listened in awe as they took in this information.

As Tagge concluded his lessons, he asked if there are any questions.

"I have one, sir." Feri exclaimed.

"Ask away, Feri." Tagge said to her.

"Doesn't the E-11 have an extendable stock on it?" Feri asked him.

"It does, Feri." Tagge told her calmy.

"Thank you, sir." Feri said to him.

Meras nodded to Feri in approval.

"Cadets, proceed to the training yards outside." Tagge ordered the cadets.

"Yes, sir!" all the cadets said in synchronization.

All of the cadets got up from their seats and walked to the training yards outside of the academy.

Chief Instructor Tagge was following them.

"I want a shoulder-to-shoulder line formation, now!" yelled Tagge.

This spelled the beginning of the brutal training Stormtrooper cadets undergo at Carida.
