"Originally, the guest wanted to give a coming-of-age gift." After hanging up the call with Luo Huan, the manager immediately said enthusiastically, "A coming-of-age gift is a big deal, especially...it must be done carefully. We have some high-quality materials here, although they are expensive, they are the best for making a neck lock for a coming-of-age gift."
For Alphas, Omega's coming-of-age ceremony is no less important than a wedding. In the old days, once a couple had established their relationship, Omega's coming-of-age meant that the Alpha could fully possess their partner.
The manager thought to himself that this guest looked like a top-tier Alpha. There was no anti-overflow patch behind her neck, but he couldn't smell any pheromones, indicating that his control ability was extremely strong. Generally, people like this don't show it on the surface, but their possessiveness is much stronger than normal people. The more this is the case, the better the business involving Omegas.
Sure enough, the guest agreed the next second.
"Because it's not a real neck lock, we still need to make sure that Omega feels comfortable and looks good wearing it. We can't make it too restrictive." The manager took out a pile of high-quality materials and a large album of designs. "This is a design sample that the guest can refer to."
Luo Huan casually flipped through it and lost interest. "No need, I'll do it myself."
Since Ji Yueze used a face lock to mock her, she naturally had to respond. What better gift to give than a neck lock? Especially giving the neck lock used by Omegas to someone who was about to become an Alpha, this would be even more impactful than the face lock.
Looking at the pile of various materials in front of her, Luo Huan suddenly remembered Ji Yueze's appearance in military uniform. Black seemed to suit him well. She remembered the slender, cold white neck she saw from the back seat, and her throat inexplicably tightened.
Luo Huan casually pushed aside the pile of materials and found a soft black ribbon with a thin layer of black lace on the edge, partially covering but not completely, so that you could vaguely see the other side when holding it in your hand.
"Guest, this is a top-quality material from the Magic Ear Star. It is said..."
Zuo Luohuan glanced at the manager and interrupted, "I will pay for all the materials I have used. Now please leave."
The manager was not surprised, and was even a little happy. This kind of Alpha who wouldn't even look at others was a big customer!
...
On Monday, Zuo Luohuan arrived on time for class, making the teachers on the podium uncomfortable. Even if she sat in the back row, her presence was too strong. The beta teacher wiped his sweat discreetly, but fortunately, they would soon be choosing their elective courses, and he could teach new students again.
"Although there are differences in physique between Alpha and Omega, with the advancement of technology, everyone can choose the courses they like. Even Omega can take shooting and combat classes. The closest example is Major He Yue of the 673rd Army under the 17th Army. She is a typical Omega, but her shooting results have always been first, and her combat results have never fallen below the top three. There are also many Omega and Beta predecessors, I believe you have already seen them in the school history exhibition hall when you enrolled, so I won't go into detail." Beta teacher said seriously, "As for Alphas, with their natural physical advantages, especially as the first batch of outstanding people in the Federation, I hope you can work together with other students to become the glory of the Federation."
After the teacher finished speaking, he began to carefully explain the process and subjects for selecting elective courses next month, and everyone listened attentively.
"Now I will distribute the pre-selection forms. You can choose your desired courses and get familiar with the process. After the beginning of next month, you can officially fill out the form." The teacher handed out a thick stack of forms.
Zuo Luohuan leaned back in her chair, took the form passed to her, and opened the cover. She lifted her pen and began to write. She had already decided what course she wanted to take before she enrolled, and had no second choice.
"Ji Yuezhi hasn't differentiated yet. What do you think he will choose for pre-selection?" Jiang Hong looked at the person in the front row and leaned his head towards Zuo Luohuan, gossiping, "It would be interesting if he differentiated into an Omega."
Zuo Luohuan paused her pen at the words and drew a long line at the last letter. Although she was going to give Ji Yuezhi a neck lock, she had never thought about the possibility of him differentiating into an Omega.
..."The head of the Ji family is an S-class Alpha, and his wife is only an A-class Omega. According to federal genetics, 90% of their children will differentiate into Alphas, let alone..." Luo Huan looked up at Ji Yuezhi's back in the front row. "He doesn't seem like an Omega."
"There are plenty of Omegas who don't seem like Omegas," Jiang Hong muttered.
"If he really does differentiate into an Omega..." Luo Huan suddenly had a mischievous idea and played with her pen. "Then our two families could marry, and we wouldn't have to fight over resources anymore. After all, we'd be one family."
"You can keep dreaming," Jiang Hong scoffed. "Ji Yuezhi has already done several genetic tests, and they all showed 100% differentiation into an Alpha. The Zuo and Ji families are destined to fight to the death over you."
Families like theirs were always under scrutiny, and Ji Xiu and Ji Yuezhi's repeated genetic tests were impossible to hide.
"Once you've filled out the form, you can turn it in. The teacher will keep it for you, and after graduation, we'll release the preliminary and official versions." The teacher on the podium explained. This was a tradition at the First Military Academy. The forms allowed the students to revisit and compare their thoughts from a few years ago as they embarked on a new path.
After Jiang Hong finished filling out the form, she leaned over to look at Zuo Luo Huan's choices. Most of them were combat and physical training courses, with one command course.
This was normal. Luo Huan was the next heir of the Zuo family, and her strength was undeniable. She was destined to lead the army in the future.
"I chose logistics courses, preparing to be stationed in the rear of the army in the future." Jiang Hong handed her form to Zuo Luo Huan. "All the powerful people go to the front lines, so I think someone needs to stay behind."
Zuo Luo Huan laughed. "Are you saying you're powerful?"
"Not that impressive, but it's okay." Jiang Hong took back the form, closed the cover and handed it over, "Of course, I can't compare to you."
After filling out the pre-registration form, the class was almost over. When the bell rang, Zuo Luohuan stood up first and walked forward, stopping in front of Ji Yuezhi.
There was a faint sound of gasping in the classroom. The students who were about to leave the classroom were dragging their feet and didn't want to go. It was obvious that they wanted to stay and watch the show.
Are these two finally going to face off?!
"I heard that many students have been wanting to see us fight. Why don't we fulfill their wish?" Zuo Luohuan leaned against the desk, blocking Ji Yuezhi's way out, and looked down at him.
Her gaze followed his smooth and straight nose down to his cold, white and slender neck. She was thinking about how to measure the size with her hands when they fight later.
Ji Yuezhi raised his eyes, his pitch-black pupils carrying a hint of cold sarcasm, "I heard that Zuo likes a freshman. Why don't we satisfy everyone's speculation now?"
A freshman she likes?
Zuo Luohuan was already a bit absent-minded. She didn't understand his words for a moment. Jiang Hong came over and added, "It's Yan Yan. The forum said that it was the first time you had a meal with someone from the school, and some gossip came out."
"He's an Alpha." Zuo Luohuan narrowed her eyes slightly, not understanding why the school's people were bringing this up. Jiang Hong made a sound of disapproval and said, "Don't you know? AA relationships are very popular now."
Thinking of Yan Yan's appearance, Zuo Luohuan said firmly, "I like Omega."
"I didn't expect you to be so traditional," Jiang Hong said casually.
"There's nothing wrong with being traditional," Zuo Luohuan said, looking at Jiang Hong and not noticing the person sitting next to her, lost in thought.
When she turned her head again, Ji Yuezhi had already packed up and stood up, clearly not wanting to pay attention to Zuo Luohuan.
"Aren't you going to fight?" Zuo Luohuan didn't move, as if she would only step aside if the other person agreed.
Ji Yuezhi's narrow eyes swept lightly over her face, then he walked straight out. If Zuo Luohuan didn't move, he would have bumped into her shoulder.
Zuo Luohuan took a small step to the side, allowing Ji Yuezhi to walk out, but suddenly grabbed his wrist. He immediately struggled and counterattacked, swinging his other hand towards Zuo Luohuan's arm without mercy.
If it were someone else, they would have been injured, but he was facing Zuo Luohuan, who easily grabbed his other hand as well.
This moment was too fast, and the people who hadn't left the classroom only saw Ji Yuezhi stand up and then be pressed against the classroom wall by Zuo Luohuan, holding both his hands. The sound of inhaling could be heard in the classroom, and even Jiang Hong couldn't help but cough several times before coming out to mediate: "Class is over, we should leave."
The first person spoke up, and gradually other students joined in.
"Zuo, this is the First Military Academy, not your family's territory. Does your Winter Army always bully people like this?"
"Yeah, if you want to challenge someone, go to the challenge arena. What's the point of fighting in the classroom?"
"An Alpha who has already differentiated dares to bully students who haven't differentiated yet. The Federal Glory that the teacher just talked about couldn't possibly refer to someone like you."
...
Listening to the voices around him, Zuo Luo Huan leaned against Ji Yue Zhi's ear and whispered, "Your reputation in school is pretty good."
Ji Yue Zhi lowered his eyes coldly and said, "Let go."
Zuo Luo Huan raised an eyebrow slightly, let go, and quickly touched his neck with his hand, saying flirtatiously, "I'll be waiting for you to differentiate."
Damn it! Many people in the classroom were furious. Zuo Luohuan had only just returned, and he was already provoking others. Wasn't she just relying on the fact that she had differenated earlier from them for a few years?
"Um... Ji classmate, Luohuan may have a disorder in her pheromones today, and her mind is not very clear." Jiang Hong pulled Zuo Luohuan away and apologized to Ji Yue, "I'm sorry, really sorry."
Damn it, this could escalate. The Ji and Zuo families will definitely be at odds with each other. When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the moat will be affected. His family still wants to live peacefully for a few more days.
After grabbing someone and taking them out, Jiang Hong relaxed his grip and lowered his voice, "What are you doing? It's okay to talk big, but you actually hit someone? This is the First Military Academy. If Ji Xixiu finds out, you won't be able to escape punishment."
Zuo Luohuan got what she wanted, and her mood was still good. She didn't reply to him, but...
She looked down at her hand, remembering the delicate touch she had just felt on her fingertips, and felt a little uneasy as she twisted them.
