Chapter 5: Pasifica (Part 5) - Entering Military Academy and Slapping Everyone in the Face...
Replay ended.
Everyone was speechless with surprise. Even the loudest person quieted down, and the expressions of those who were just watching the show gradually turned serious: 3S female Alpha?
Even after Xu Lingzhao walked out of the verification room with an indifferent expression, people were still whispering: "Isn't she a Beta?"
"Stop, stop talking, delete the post right now." The people present didn't leave but waited for the results to be announced; a countdown was underway on the big screen.
Rankings announced.
Xu Lingzhao saw her name prominently displayed at the top of the list. Overjoyed and secretly pleased, she stepped out of the crowd to find Ling Qianzhu, only to discover she was already waiting there. Ling Qianzhu showed Xu Lingzhao the trending topic on her personal terminal: "Sandhurst Military Academy entrance exam list released! First place is the Federation's first 3S Alpha!"
Upon closer inspection, it was about herself again. Xu Lingzhao twirled her golden hair with her fingers, put her arm around Ling Qianzhu, and walked out: "I'm just that charming. Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal."
The two arrived at a hot pot restaurant, and Xu Lingzhao enthusiastically handed the menu to Ling Qianzhu: "It's been so long since I've had hot pot! I'm going to eat my fill this time. Take a look at what you want to eat, consider it a celebration for starting school tomorrow."
"Then I'll gladly accept your offer!" Ling Qianzhu's eyes lit up as she began ordering.
After ordering, Xu Lingzhao was browsing gossip on the StarNet when her finger hovered over a trending topic: "Minister of Finance announces the return of the Mo family's long-lost grandson." The person in the photo was Mo Zhiyan. She handed the screen to Ling Qianzhu across from her. Both of them looked utterly shocked. Ling Qianzhu, biting into a piece of cantaloupe, mumbled, "He's really hiding his true abilities... Ah, is it because you saved him and got photographed and went viral, that the Mo family found him?"
"I don't know, maybe, but it's good that he can be recognized by his ancestors." Xu Lingzhao chewed on a peanut: "He no longer has to live a timid and submissive life."
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared to return to the hotel to move their belongings back to their dormitory in Sandhurst. As they passed through an alley, a man stopped them in their way. The man was wearing a baseball cap and lowered his voice: "Want to play Blackie?"
Xu Lingzhao glanced at the Sandhurst school gate ahead, leaned closer, and whispered, "Do you want me to beat you to death?" After saying that, she pulled Ling Qianzhu away quickly, as if avoiding a plague. Xu Lingzhao stretched and said, "I don't believe that anyone who dares to say such things at the gate of a military academy is innocent."
The two packed their things and walked to Sandhurst's dormitory building. Because their primary characteristics were different and their majors were different, and the dormitory buildings were far apart, they could only part with tears in their eyes. As soon as she opened the dormitory door, she found that her two roommates had arrived early. One of them greeted her first: "I am He Zaining, and this is Pei Zhenwei."
"Hello, I'm Xu Lingzhao." Xu Lingzhao greeted them awkwardly and then began making the bed, while He Zaining, with red hair, said while drinking coffee, "Hmm, I know you, you're very famous."
“Yes, some Omegas know that I share a dorm room with you and have even asked me to ask you for your contact information.” Pei Zhenwei turned her chair around and looked at Xu Lingzhao.
Xu Lingzhao stopped what he was doing, his gaze sweeping over his two roommates' faces before he picked up a strand of his hair and said, "I think the three of us could star in an episode of My Little Pony."
The two who had just realized what was happening burst into laughter. Pei Zhenwei looked at her white hair and clicked her tongue, saying, "Three female Alphas can't even make up one person with black hair."
Just then, the door was slammed shut, and a black-haired female Alpha appeared in the doorway. Pei Zhenwei stood up and said, "What a coincidence! Isn't this Miss Lu Qianxue? We actually met here."
"Heh, running into you is the worst luck imaginable." Lu Qianxue glanced at everyone and packed her luggage. Xu Lingzhao sensed something was off. After making her bed, she sat down and browsed the campus forum. Sure enough, she came across a notice: "[The following five students disregarded school rules and intended to enter the underground black market to compete. They are hereby given a demerit.]" Xu Lingzhao knew it was a trap!
Soon, the lights-out bell rang, and Xu Lingzhao climbed into bed to sleep. She stared at the white ceiling: military academy life had officially begun!
-
The shrill alarm clock rang.
Xu Lingzhao quickly got up, washed, put on her combat uniform, and prepared to leave, only to find her three roommates fast asleep... Xu Lingzhao dragged He Zaining with one hand and Pei Zhenwei with the other, while Lu Qianxue walked beside her with her arms crossed. They finally arrived at the training ground within the allotted time. All the freshmen lined up according to their class. The first lesson of the semester was physical training. Everyone put on a counter and began running with weights around the Sandhurst Imperial Military Academy.
Whether it's Alpha, Omgea, or Beta, everyone has to run 8 laps. Xu Lingzhao found it easy at first, but after running for two hours without finishing the first lap, a look of pain appeared on her face. Behind her were He Zaining and Pei Zhenwei, whom Xu Lingzhao could see with just a turn of her head, while Lu Qianxue could not see anyone even after stretching her eyes for miles.
Xu Lingzhao thought for a moment, then told them to keep running while she went to bring Lu Qianxue up. Sure enough, after running against the flow of people for a while, she finally met Lu Qianxue on the road. She ran to Lu Qianxue's side, took some of her weight and put it into her own backpack to lighten her load. Xu Lingzhao saw a hint of surprise in Lu Qianxue's eyes, but she did not refuse Xu Lingzhao's kindness and continued running in accordance with her.
Unexpectedly, He Zaining and her companion did not choose to continue running, but instead stayed where they were and waited for them. Xu Lingzhao was somewhat surprised: "Haha, why don't you run? Those who don't arrive before evening won't get any food!"
"Oh! I didn't hear that rule."
The atmosphere immediately became relaxed. The four of them lightened each other's load and took turns keeping pace with the run. They finally reached the finish line before evening. The four of them collapsed on the ground, exhausted. Xu Lingzhao listened to the person next to her panting heavily, their hair tangled together: "Rainbow Candy."
"I can't take it anymore, Xu Lingzhao, you keep switching between My Little Pony and Rainbow Candy." Pei Zhenwei said, panting, "Although the hair colors of the four of us are indeed quite unusual."
"You're the one who's curious."
"that is."
The four of them got up from the ground, their stomachs growling with hunger, and headed towards the cafeteria. Lu Qianxue waved her hand and said, "It's my treat today."
"As expected of Miss Lu's domineering nature," Pei Zhenwei said, clapping her hands.
"If you keep being sarcastic, you can't eat!" Lu Qianxue glanced at her. "I'll give all the good food to Xu Lingzhao."
"Then I'll gladly accept!" Xu Lingzhao replied with a smile. A sumptuous dinner was spent in noisy chatter. When they came out of the cafeteria again, it was already dark. The four of them were taking a leisurely stroll on the road.
"I heard that tomorrow morning is physical training, and the afternoon is indoor combat training," He Zaining said while rubbing his stomach.
"Then I'm going to beat you down." Pei Zhen smiled and put his arm around Xu Lingzhao. "I'm going to beat you down too."
"What, is there alcohol in the air? Are you drunk?" Xu Lingzhao teased her.
Inside the training room, after the teacher finished teaching, they entered a break period.
The Alphas formed a circle, with Xu Lingzhao's roommates sitting on either side of her. So far, the Alphas she had encountered were all quite friendly, until a male Alpha with a buzz cut walked up to her, looking down at her with his nostrils flared: "You're Xu Lingzhao? Come out and fight me one-on-one."
Pei Zhenwei was about to stand up when Xu Lingzhao pressed him back down. Xu Lingzhao stood up and turned to him, taking the initiative: "How do we fight?"
"Just attack."
"OK."
Xu Lingzhao took off her jacket, revealing her perfectly sculpted muscles. Standing in the middle of the crowd, she watched the buzz-cut Alpha assume a fighting stance. He launched a fierce attack, but Xu Lingzhao sidestepped, grabbed his wrist, twisted it behind his back, and kicked him in the stomach with her knee. Within five seconds, she had him knocked to the ground, pinning him down so he couldn't get up. The buzz-cut man made intimate contact with the ground. Xu Lingzhao said calmly, "Still need to practice."
Immediately, applause and cheers erupted, with Pei Zhenwei shouting the loudest: "Wow~ Xu Lingzhao, my god~~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Lingzhao stood up and released him. However, the humiliated man with the buzz cut took advantage of Xu Lingzhao's back being turned and pulled a small dagger from his pocket, stabbing her. Xu Lingzhao reacted quickly, but her forearm was still slightly cut. With her excellent eyesight, Xu Lingzhao saw a small bead of her blood fly into his mouth, but his actions were quickly noticed by the campus security team, who took him away immediately.
Lu Qianxue quickly ran to Xu Lingzhao and asked with concern, "Do you want to go to the school clinic to get your wound bandaged?"
Xu Lingzhao raised his forearm, which was healing rapidly, and chuckled, "Hmm...you can go now. If you go any later, the wound will be completely healed." He Zaining immediately leaned in and exclaimed, "Wow, your healing ability is so strong!"
"Of course."
After a day of training, the four were enjoying a meal. Xu Lingzhao was focused on eating when her communicator rang: [Chu Jingze: I've been very busy and haven't had a chance to congratulate you on winning first place.]
"It's nothing, a small matter." Xu Lingzhao replied briefly, but Mo Zhiyan's communication system rang at the same moment: "Congratulations on winning first place."
Xu Lingzhao looked puzzled. Had both of them lost internet access at the same time?
The next morning, as Xu Lingzhao was leaving the dormitory with her roommates to go to training as usual, the short-haired guy from yesterday ran straight up to Xu Lingzhao in full view of everyone, holding a bouquet of roses. His cheeks were slightly red, and he stammered, "Lingzhao, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that... Can you give me a chance?"
The three roommates present were completely petrified, and Pei Zhenwei's face was contorted with rage: "This isn't right, is it?"
He Zaining: "This is very strange."
Lu Qianxue: "The man with the buzz cut is reporting back to Xu Lingzhao."
Only Xu Lingzhao smiled knowingly: she knew that the changes were definitely not limited to appearance and primary characteristics; her blood had also changed as a result.
Of course, the buzz-cut guy was still dragged away by the guards, but the news that Xu Lingzhao, an Alpha, was confessed to by an Alpha spread...
