Ji Yuezhi differentiated into an Omega!
This news swept through the entire First Military Academy like a flood.
At first, when everyone saw the post on the anonymous forum, they dismissed it as a joke. Ji Yuezhi differentiating into an Omega? If broadcasted, it would definitely be the Federation's biggest blunder of the year.
The underclassmen in Senior Ji's fan club declared they would find the poster spreading these rumors. This was clearly an attempt to disturb morale while Senior Ji was away! If Senior Ji was an Omega, then no one in the military academy was an Alpha. Utter nonsense.
However, as another post quietly appeared on the anonymous forum, people's convictions began to waver.
[I just came back from the registration office. Was the person who came out Senior Ji? GIF attached.gif]
A six-second animated GIF showed Ji Yuezhi, dressed simply in a white shirt and black pants, emerging from a doorway. Seemingly sensing something, he abruptly looked up towards the camera. For a fleeting moment, it felt like he was looking directly at you, his narrow, beautiful eyes carrying a piercing coldness, yet inexplicably mixed with a trace of indescribable allure.
The first time people clicked on the GIF, their attention was completely captured by Ji Yuezhi; they couldn't see anything else. It was the original poster who reminded everyone to look above the door behind him.
[Omega Registration Office? No way, no way!!!]
[I don't believe it, this GIF is photoshopped.]
[The OP is trying to trick us with a fake picture.]
Federation regulations required anyone who finished differentiating to register their result at the registration office on their respective star. The registration office had separate rooms for Alphas, Betas, and Omegas; mixing was not allowed. The only way an Alpha could enter the Omega registration office was to be thrown out at the door.
Now, in the GIF, above the door Ji Yuezhi walked out of, large white characters on a black background clearly read: Omega Registration Office.
Despite this, a large portion of people still clung desperately to denial, refusing to believe the GIF was real. Ji Yuezhi had kicked Xiang Chengping down even before differentiating. If he wasn't a top-tier Alpha, who was?
This debate didn't last long, because Ji Yuezhi returned to class.
Ji Xixiu personally escorted him to the school gate before heading to the Military Council. Ji Yuezhi had classes today. He lowered his eyes, recalling his schedule, indifferent to the numerous gazes fixed on his neck from the roadside.
His differentiation period had ended. These past two days, Ji Yuezhi could completely control his pheromones, so he stopped using the patch. People on the roadside couldn't smell his pheromones, unable to tell if he was an Omega or an Alpha.
From the moment Ji Yuezhi stepped through the school gate, the First Military Academy's anonymous forum exploded, frantically live-updating his movements.
[Ji Yuezhi must be an Alpha!]
[If, and I mean if, Ji Yuezhi differentiated into an Omega, then... how can he beat that Zuo Luohuan?]
[...I've disliked Zuo Luohuan for a long time. Ji Yuezhi will definitely be an Alpha.]
Jiang Hong scrolled non-stop through the forum posts. Thanks to the Jiang family's information network, he knew earlier than the school populace. Minutes after Ji Yuezhi entered the Capital's Omega Registration Office, he received the news, completely stunned.
How could a perfectly good Alpha differentiate into an Omega?!
Jiang Hong couldn't help but think back to the night of Ji Yuezhi's coming-of-age ceremony, when Zuo Luohuan mentioned delivering a gift late at night. He wanted to ask her clearly, but she hadn't attended class these past few days, and her communications weren't going through. Who knew where she had run off to again.
"What are you doing?" Zuo Luohuan hadn't even entered the classroom when she saw Jiang Hong staring intently at his optical computer, about to walk into a wall. She kindly called out a reminder.
Seeing her, Jiang Hong immediately grabbed her arm, lowering his voice, "What happened? Why did Ji Yuezhi turn into, turn into an Omega!"
"That matter..." Zuo Luohuan glanced sideways at Jiang Hong, pulled her arm free, and said nonchalantly, "How would I know."
"You don't know!" Just thinking about the consequences if Zuo Luohuan had messed with Ji Yuezhi and Ji Xixiu found out made Jiang Hong's scalp tingle. His voice unconsciously rose, "Is there anything in this world you, Zuo Luohuan, wouldn't dare to do?"
Zuo Luohuan, heading towards the back door, paused, turned to look at Jiang Hong, stared at him for a long moment, her tongue pressing against the inside of her cheek, then suddenly let out a scoff. "What are you nervous about? Does the Federation even have a drug that can turn an Alpha into an Omega?"
Jiang Hong froze, as if suddenly snapping back to reality. He glanced at the surrounding classmates looking at them, then leaned closer to Zuo Luohuan, lowering his voice, "I'm afraid Ji Xixiu will misunderstand you. Then we'll all be finished."
That was true. Ji Xixiu was notoriously vengeful and deeply calculating. Back then, the most widespread saying in the Gashiluo Empire was: Better to be enemies with the Winter Army than to fight the Seventeenth Army.
The same sentiment applied within the Federation Military Council. The higher-ups would rather offend Zuo Dihong than be 'remembered' by Ji Xixiu.
"I don't have the ability to reverse someone's pheromones." Zuo Luohuan sat down in her seat, casually fiddling with the form on the desk. Today was the beginning of the month, time to fill out the official course selection form. Clearly, the teacher had already distributed them.
"He's almost at the teaching building," Jiang Hong said, watching the forum updates, unable to resist.
This 'he' obviously referred to one person. Zuo Luohuan took out a pen and wrote her name on the official form, not replying.
A minute later, Ji Yuezhi entered through the front door of the classroom and sat down. For a moment, the classmates didn't dare make a sound.
Ji Yuezhi no longer wore a patch on his neck; clearly, his differentiation was successful. If he had differentiated into an Alpha, asking wouldn't be a big deal. But if he really differentiated into an Omega, it would likely be a severe blow to him, especially since everyone had regarded him as an Alpha for so long.
However, seeing that Ji Yuezhi's expression seemed normal, the classmates gradually grew bolder. Finally, someone hesitantly walked over and asked, "Classmate Ji, you've already differentiated into an Alpha, right? Congratulations! Someone was spreading rumors a few days ago saying you were an Omega."
Ji Yuezhi had just taken out a beautiful sky-blue fountain pen from his bag. His slender, pale fingers held the pen body. He opened the official form, smoothly filled in his name, then looked up calmly. "I am an Omega."
A collective gasp filled the classroom. This was... confirmation from the man himself!
The student who asked swayed, returning to his seat utterly devastated.
Their First Military Academy's ultimate dream Alpha! Gone just like that! Vanished! Differentiated into an Omega!
This was truly heartbreaking news!!!
Ji Yuezhi was handsome and refined, tall and slender, academically brilliant, skilled in combat, and the Head of the Disciplinary Committee. Countless Omegas at the First Military Academy were smitten, and even some Alphas wanted to pursue an epic AA romance with him.
Today, from this moment on, everyone's dreams were shattered!
[Shocking news: Frontline report, Ji Yuezhi personally admitted he differentiated into an Omega!]
[Damn damn damn! How could Ji Yuezhi be an Omega? My mom clearly said his genetic test was Alpha.]
[I wasn't ready for an OO relationship... but if it's Senior Ji, maybe it's okay~ Shy.jpg]
[Ah, this, then who's going to fight Zuo Luohuan?]
[Who's the person above? Saw you in the last thread too. Did Zuo Luohuan steal your credits?]
[But are there any Alphas at the First Military Academy who can beat Zuo Luohuan?]
...
After dropping the bombshell, Ji Yuezhi showed no unusual emotion, quietly filling out his course selection form. Once this official form was completed, the teacher would scan and upload it to the school network. Then they could select instructors for the corresponding courses on the school network.
He chose quickly, almost without pausing, as if the decision had been made long ago.
"Have you all seen the official course selection forms on your desks?" The teacher walked in, subtly glanced at Ji Yuezhi in the front row, then stood at the podium. "Fill out the forms this class. I'll collect them after class. By the afternoon, you'll be able to freely choose instructors' courses. Also, this year the school has invited several outstanding instructors from the military. Seize the opportunity."
Post-differentiation Alphas, Betas, and Omegas all had corresponding ranks, from C to S. Instructors also had ranks. Main courses could only be taught by instructors of the corresponding rank, although there was a competition near the end of each semester for main courses, offering a chance to switch instructors, if one was strong enough.
"He Yue is in; she teaches Shooting." Jiang Hong shared information while filling out his form. "The strongest instructor for the Command course is still Jia Hailan."
Zuo Luohuan finished filling the last line. "No chance to take Ji Xixiu's command course."
Jiang Hong was speechless. "...Ji Xixiu as an instructor? He was just one step away from becoming Chairman. Would he condescend to be an instructor at the First Military Academy?"
"A pity," Zuo Luohuan said lazily, leaning back against the wall.
Near the end of class, the teacher collected the official course selection forms one by one. Not just them, the entire second-year teaching building was undergoing this process.
The teacher counted the forms twice, then finally said, "Alright, class dismissed."
"This afternoon, I need to carefully pick who the instructor for the information course is..." Jiang Hong wanted to discuss instructor selection with Zuo Luohuan, but before he could finish, the person beside him abandoned him once again.
Jiang Hong watched her rapidly disappearing back, reflecting inwardly: Was he really that annoying?
...
Zuo Luohuan had subconsciously followed Ji Yuezhi out. She wanted to tell him she didn't intentionally send an Omega neck lock, but the problem was, she did intentionally send that gift, just... this 'intentional' wasn't that 'intentional'.
By the time she caught up, Ji Yuezhi sensed her footsteps, turned his head to look at her, and Zuo Luohuan... froze.
Fortunately, Zuo Luohuan maintained a calm facade. Ji Yuezhi didn't notice anything unusual, just looked at her coolly with his beautiful eyes. "Is there something?"
Normally, Zuo Luohuan would have casually provoked him with words, but not today.
"Sorry about that night," Zuo Luohuan said. "The pheromone incident wasn't intentional."
In Zuo Luohuan's eyes, Ji Yuezhi was as distant and indifferent as ever, merely nodding in acknowledgement.
Standing opposite each other, Ji Yuezhi suddenly said, "I saw your gift."
"..." Zuo Luohuan now wanted to turn and leave. Sending an Omega an erotic neck lock – this was behavior she hadn't imagined engaging in before. Initially, she just wanted to respond to his provocation.
Ji Yuezhi looked at Zuo Luohuan with those beautiful eyes, his tone flat. "If you had sent it at school, I could have deducted ten points from you. Reason: sexually harassing a classmate."
