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 just treated it as a joke. Ji Yuezhi differentiating into an Omega? If this were broadcast, it would definitely be the biggest blunder of the year in the Federation.
The underclassmen in Classmate Ji's fan club all declared they would find the person who started this rumor. This was clearly an attempt to sow chaos while Classmate Ji was away! If Classmate Ji was an Omega, then no one in the military academy was an Alpha. It was utter nonsense.
However, as another post quietly appeared on the anonymous forum, everyone's resolve began to waver.
【I just got back from the registration office. Is that Classmate Ji coming out? animated.gif】
It was a six-second animated GIF. In it, Ji Yuezhi, dressed in a simple white shirt and black pants, emerged from a doorway. Seemingly sensing something, he abruptly looked up toward the camera. For a fleeting moment, it felt as if he was looking right at you, his long, beautiful eyes carrying a bone-chilling coldness, yet for some reason, also tinged with an indescribable allure.
The first time people clicked on the GIF, their attention was completely captivated by Ji Yuezhi, unable to see anything else. It wasn't until the original poster 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 poster is trying to trick us with a fake picture.】
Federation law stipulated that after the differentiation period ended, individuals had to go to the registration offices on their respective planets to register their results. At these offices, Alphas, Betas, and Omegas each had separate rooms for registration, and they could not be mixed. There was only one way an Alpha could enter the Omega Registration Office: by being beaten back at the door.
Now, in the GIF, above the door from which Ji Yuezhi emerged, the large black characters on a white background clearly read: Omega Registration Office.
Even so, more than half the people were still in denial, refusing to believe the GIF was real. Ji Yuezhi had been able to kick Xiang Chengping off his pedestal 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 gates before heading to the Military Committee. Ji Yuezhi had class today. He lowered his eyes, recalling his schedule, unconcerned by the numerous people on the roadside staring at his neck.
His differentiation period was over, and for the past two days, Ji Yuezhi had been able to completely control his pheromones, so he no longer used a scent patch. The people on the roadside couldn't smell his pheromones, making it impossible to tell if he was an Omega or an Alpha.
From the moment Ji Yuezhi stepped through the school gates, the First Military Academy's anonymous forum exploded, frantically broadcasting his every move.
【Ji Yuezhi must be an Alpha!】
【If, and I'm just saying if, Ji Yuezhi differentiated into an Omega, then… how is he going to beat that Zuo Luohuan?】
【…I've been annoyed with Zuo Luohuan for a long time. Ji Yuezhi will definitely be an Alpha.】
Jiang Hong scrolled through the forum posts nonstop. Thanks to the Jiang family's information network, he had found out earlier than the students. He had received the news just minutes after Ji Yuezhi entered the capital's Omega Registration Office, and he had been completely stunned.
How could a perfectly fine 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 had insisted on delivering a gift late at night. He wanted to ask her for a clear explanation, but she hadn't been in class for the past few days, and her optical computer was unreachable. He had no idea where she had run off to.
"What are you doing?" Before Zuo Luohuan even entered the classroom, she saw Jiang Hong staring down at his personal optical computer, about to walk into a wall. She kindly called out to him.
Seeing her, Jiang Hong immediately grabbed her arm and hissed, "What's going on? 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!" The moment Jiang Hong imagined the consequences of Ji Xixiu discovering that Zuo Luohuan had done something to Ji Yuezhi, he went numb. His voice grew louder without him realizing it. "Is there anything in this world you, Zuo Luohuan, wouldn't dare to do?"
Zuo Luohuan, who had been walking toward the back door, paused. She turned to look at Jiang Hong, staring at him for a long moment. The tip of her tongue pressed against the inside of her cheek, and she suddenly let out a sneer. "What are you so nervous about? Does the Federation actually have a drug that can turn an Alpha into an Omega?"
Jiang Hong's expression froze, as if he had suddenly snapped back to his senses. He glanced at the other students who were watching them, then leaned closer to Zuo Luohuan and lowered his voice. "I'm afraid you'll be misunderstood by Ji Xixiu. We'll all be finished then."
That was true. Ji Xixiu was famous for seeking revenge for the smallest grievance and for his deep scheming. The most widespread saying about him in the Gashiro Empire was: Better to be an enemy of the Winter Army than to fight the Seventeenth Army.
The same sentiment was common within the Federal Military Committee. The higher-ups would rather offend Zuo Dihong than be 'remembered' by Ji Xixiu.
"I don't have the kind of power to reverse a person's pheromones." Zuo Luohuan sat down in her seat, casually fiddling with the form on her desk. It was the beginning of the month, time to fill out the official course selection forms, which the teacher had apparently already distributed.
"He's almost at the academic building," Jiang Hong said, unable to resist as he watched the updates on the forum.
It was obvious who 'he' was. Zuo Luohuan took out a pen and wrote her name on the official form without replying.
A minute later, Ji Yuezhi walked in through the front door of the classroom and sat down. For a moment, none of the students in the class dared to speak.
Ji Yuezhi's neck was no longer covered by a scent patch. It was clear his differentiation was successful. If he had become an Alpha, asking wouldn't be a problem. But if he had really become an Omega, it would likely be a severe blow to him, especially since everyone had seen him as an Alpha for so long.
However, seeing that Ji Yuezhi's expression was normal, the students gradually grew bolder. Finally, someone hesitantly walked over and asked, "Classmate Ji, you've differentiated into an Alpha, right? Congratulations! A few days ago, someone was spreading rumors that you were an Omega."
Ji Yuezhi had just taken a beautiful, light-blue fountain pen from his bag. His long, fair fingers gripped the pen as he opened the official form. After smoothly writing his name, he finally looked up and said faintly, "I am an Omega."
A wave of sharp gasps filled the classroom. This was… a confession from the man himself!
The student who had asked swayed on his feet, returning to his seat in utter shock.
Their First Military Academy's great dream Alpha! Gone just like that! Vanished! Differentiated into an Omega!
It was enough to make those who heard it grieve and those who saw it weep!!!
Ji Yuezhi was handsome and elegant, with a tall, slender build. He had excellent grades, was a skilled fighter, and was the head of the Disciplinary Committee. Countless Omegas at the First Military Academy were smitten with him, and there were even Alphas who wanted to have 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'm not ready for an OO romance… but if it's Classmate Ji, I guess it's not impossible~ shy.jpg】
【Ah, so who's going to fight Zuo Luohuan?】
【Who's the person above? I saw you in the last thread too. Did Zuo Luohuan steal your credits?】
【But are there any other Alphas at the First Military Academy who can beat Zuo Luohuan?】
After making such a shocking statement, Ji Yuezhi showed no unusual emotion and quietly filled out his course selection form. Once this official form was completed, the teacher would scan and upload it to the school network, after which they could select instructors for their respective courses online.
He made his selections quickly, almost without pausing, as if he had decided on the outcome long ago.
"Has everyone seen the official course selection form on your desks?" The teacher walked in, glanced discreetly at Ji Yuezhi in the front row, and then stood at the podium. "You have this class period to fill out the forms. I'll collect them after class. By this afternoon, you'll be able to freely choose your instructors' courses. Also, the school has invited several outstanding instructors from the military this year, so make sure you seize the opportunity."
Differentiated Alphas, Betas, and Omegas all had corresponding ranks from C to S. Instructors also had ranks, and for main courses, students could only choose instructors of a corresponding rank. However, near the end of each semester, there was a competition for the main courses, which provided a chance to switch instructors, if one was strong enough.
"He Yue got in. She's teaching shooting," Jiang Hong said, sharing information as he filled out his form. "The strongest instructor for the command department is still Jia Hailan."
Zuo Luohuan finished filling out the last line. "No chance to take Ji Xixiu's command course."
Jiang Hong was speechless. "…Ji Xixiu as an instructor? He's just one step away from becoming Chairman. Would he deign to come to the First Military Academy to be an instructor?"
"A pity," Zuo Luohuan said lazily, leaning back against the wall.
As class was about to end, the teacher collected the official course selection forms from everyone in the class. It wasn't just them; the entire second-year academic building was undergoing the same process.
The teacher counted the forms twice before finally saying, "Alright, class dismissed."
"This afternoon, I need to carefully pick an instructor for the information course…" Jiang Hong wanted to discuss the afternoon's instructor selection with Zuo Luohuan, but before he could finish, the person next to him had once again abandoned him.
Jiang Hong watched her rapidly disappearing back and reflected inwardly: Am I really that annoying?
Zuo Luohuan had subconsciously followed Ji Yuezhi out. She wanted to tell him that she hadn't intentionally sent him an Omega Neck Lock, but the problem was, she had intentionally sent that gift. It was just that this 'intention' was not that 'intention'.
By the time she followed him out and Ji Yuezhi sensed her footsteps and turned to look at her, Zuo Luohuan… was at a loss for words.
Fortunately, Zuo Luohuan maintained a calm facade, so Ji Yuezhi didn't notice anything amiss. He simply looked at her with his pair of beautiful, coolly indifferent eyes. "Is there something?"
Normally, Zuo Luohuan would have casually provoked him with words, but not today.
"About the pheromones that night," Zuo Luohuan said seriously. "I'm sorry."
In Zuo Luohuan's eyes, Ji Yuezhi was as distant and cold as ever. He merely nodded in acknowledgment.
As they stood facing 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 was something she had never imagined herself doing.
Ji Yuezhi looked at Zuo Luohuan with those beautiful eyes, his tone flat. "If we were at school, I could deduct ten points from you. The reason: sexual harassment of a classmate."
playing hard to get because he thinks thats her type?
