[Just a heads-up, the silly author messed up the volume structure; Chapter 1 has been moved to Volume 1.]
“Yes,” Long Yanfei nodded. “Even though he’s a beta, he looks just as cute as an omega.”
"Is that so?" Murong Zhi's tone was cryptic. "Why don't I think so?"
He was clearly cuter than any other omega he had ever seen, Murong Zhi thought to himself.
After attending the opening ceremony, the new students have two days to rest and recuperate.
Yun Qing took Yun Wei to see the recruitment activities of various clubs.
"Sis, let's join the mecha club. I heard that this club is sponsored by the number one conglomerate in the interstellar space, and every year we have the opportunity to compete in free, customized mechas."
"Really? That's pretty good, but it must be hard to get in, right?"
"I saw on the recruitment poster that any new student with a mental strength of A or above can apply, and we two happen to qualify."
Yun Qing excitedly submitted the registration form on the club's website and also filled out one for Yun Wei.
the next day.
Both Yun Qing and Yun Wei received notifications from the Mecha Club on their personal computers, inviting them to the activity building for interviews, but at different times—one at noon and the other in the afternoon.
...
"Why wasn't I accepted? Can you tell me the reason?"
Upon hearing the results announced by the judges on stage, Yun Qing stood up and questioned them.
She clearly heard that the previous students were told to wait for notification, so why was she given the result on the spot?
Seeing Yun Qing's dissatisfaction, one of the alphas on stage stood up and looked at her with disdain.
"What, you have a problem with this result?"
Yun Qing also stood up from her chair and met his gaze without flinching.
"Just now outside, I clearly heard the people in front of me say that they should go back and wait for further notice. Why was my decision made so hastily?"
Yun Qing had thought that these people would give a reasonable explanation after hearing her question.
To everyone's surprise, they burst into laughter.
"Haha, did you hear what she said? She actually said we were hasty."
"So what if we're careless? You're just a beta, do you think you deserve our serious attention?"
Hearing these mocking and belittling words, Yun Qing bit her lip, wishing she could rush up and knock their teeth out.
"So what if you're a beta? Your recruitment notice didn't say you wouldn't accept betas."
“We didn’t say it explicitly.” The alpha who had spoken earlier spread his hands. “But it’s an unspoken rule, isn’t it?”
Yun Qing was so angry at these shameless people that she almost cried: "Then why did you let me into the interview? Couldn't you have just rejected me? Why waste everyone's time?"
"Little sister, don't be angry. Although you can't join our mecha club, with your looks, joining the drama club or the etiquette team wouldn't be a bad choice."
"No way! I absolutely have to join the Mech Club!"
Upon hearing Yun Qing's declaration, the crowd on the stage burst into laughter again, mocking her overestimation of her abilities.
Yun Qing was furious to hear the laughter, but she had already come up with a solution.
Just now, she recorded everything the people on stage said and posted it on the school forum. Not only that, she also tagged the dean of the Mecha Academy and the head of the club.
Soon, the group of people who were swaggering on the stage received a call from Murong Zhi.
"President, I'm sorry, we didn't think this through. We will handle it as soon as possible."
"No need, I'm already at the activity building."
Seeing the person who had just been so domineering suddenly become so timid, Yun Qing admitted that she felt good.
A short while later, Murong Zhi pushed open the door and came in.
When Yun Qing turned her head, the first thing she noticed was the aloof and cold demeanor of the newcomer.
Then, she had the opportunity to observe the man's appearance closely.
He was tall and thin, at least 1.9 meters tall, with narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes that held a sharp edge, a high nose bridge, and thin lips that were slightly pursed.
Only when Murong Zhi stood in front of her did Yun Qing stop looking her over and ask, "May I ask who you are?"
"I am the president and head of the Mech Club."
"Oh." As she got closer, Yun Qing could smell the faint sea salt scent of his pheromones, unlike the strong and overpowering scent of other alphas.
It even smelled somewhat pleasant. Unsure, Yun Qing took another sniff and quietly inhaled.
Yes, it's definitely the flavor she likes.
"I fully understand what you're saying. I will have them apologize to you and select new judges for the recruitment process."
Yun Qing felt there was nothing wrong with this solution, but she couldn't say she was satisfied with it either.
“I don’t want to accept their apology. I believe you heard the recording just now. They fundamentally look down on betas, even though my mental strength level is S.”
Murong Zhi looked at her with great interest: "So what do you want?"
“I’m going to make a bet with them. Since they think I can’t pilot the mech, let’s give it a try. If I can, then they’ve been wrong all along.”
Murong Zhi nodded: "What you said makes sense. So, what's the stake?"
"The stakes are—" Yun Qing straightened her chest and stared intently at the people on the stage.
"If I successfully pilot a medium-sized mech, they will have to leave the mech club; otherwise, I will admit that their view is correct and voluntarily withdraw from the club's selection process."
After saying that, Yun Qing proudly raised her chin, as if she was certain that she would win.
Seeing her kitten-like expression, Murong Zhi felt a stirring in his heart and inexplicably felt a little itchy in his hands.
I really wanted to touch the fluffy little head in front of me, but she didn't recognize me yet, so I held back.
“That’s a really good idea.” He reached out his hand to Yun Qing.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Murong Zhi. I think your indomitable spirit is very suitable for our mecha club. Besides, they were in the wrong today, so we don't need to make a bet. You can join regardless of whether you successfully pilot the mecha or not. However, if you do pilot the medium-sized mecha, I will expel them from the club."
"President!"
"Senior Murong!"
Upon hearing this, the alphas on the stage finally became anxious, even though they still firmly believed that Yun Qing could not possibly drive the mecha.
However, Murong Zhi's attitude was clearly on Yun Qing's side. Even if they stayed in the Mech Club, they probably wouldn't get any good treatment.
Seeing that they were getting anxious, Yun Qing provocatively shook hands with Murong Zhi.
"Thank you, President Murong. You are truly a fair and good person."
"Come with me."
Murong Zhi raised his hand to stop the alphas from speaking and led everyone to the mecha training ground.
