The morning sun was shining brightly, and the students on the playground found their respective classes and lined up in order. Xia Shizhao stood at the front, lost in thought.
Behind him was Ge Shiyi, and behind her were several female alphas.
In a sense, their class only had five girls.
The teacher leading the class next door looked at the outstanding line and said with a smile, "Old Ge, your class has girls too? That's pretty good this year. Our Mechanical Engineering Department has even recruited some girls."
"That's good, it's a positive sign, and hopefully there will be more in the future."
Ge Wu stood in front and answered with a smile, but they all thought it was unlikely, because the mechanical engineering department was too hard and tiring and involved behind-the-scenes work that was unseen by the world. The front line would be more conspicuous and respected, and both male and female alphas would prefer to go to the battlefield.
Having many warriors is a good thing, but it means that almost all mechanical engineering students are betas, and mostly male betas. Omegas, regardless of gender, are not physically capable of doing the heavy work in mechanical engineering. Moreover, the law almost always favors omegas and does not allow omegas to be harmed.
Ge Wu looked at Xia Shizhao at the front of the line and sighed inwardly. He could only pay more attention to this child. She was determined to learn this, and he couldn't stop her. But he couldn't help feeling sorry for her. She was clearly a genius in terms of theoretical knowledge, so why was she an omega? Running five kilometers in the morning, he wondered if an omega's physical condition could handle it.
At this moment, Xia Shizhao, who was wearing a light jacket in the group, even sneezed, which made Ge Wu, who was observing from the side, look even more worried.
Some people in the team noticed his reaction and their gazes toward Xia Shizhao changed.
At that moment, a wicked glint flashed in the eyes of one of the boys in the group next to him.
A chill ran down Xia Shizhao's spine as she touched her goosebumps. She looked around, but with so many eyes on her, she couldn't find the source of the malice.
If I really can't find a way to humble myself after Xia Shizhao, then I'll just have to be more careful about the people around me lately.
After they started running, most students, having not undergone systematic training, ran in a scattered manner. Xia Shizhao and his classmates scattered, so they simply ran at their own pace.
Suddenly, a push came from behind, and Xia Shizhao leaned forward. He reacted quickly and steadied himself. When he looked up, he found that the person who pushed him had disappeared into the crowd.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Xia Shizhao calmed himself down and carefully observed the expressions of the people around him.
The hand that just touched didn't seem to belong to a girl. All the faces around me were unfamiliar, and I didn't know anyone from my class. The only people who deliberately pushed me were from my own class, but the problem was that I didn't really interact with anyone from my class.
The only thing I could do that could offend people was that day when I refused the teacher's invitation to be the class monitor.
So the person you offend is likely someone who is highly interested in the class committee position, and most likely someone who didn't even compete for it.
Xia Shizhao quickened his pace, his gaze rapidly locking onto the faces of several people.
Everyone was running seriously, and their expressions were all normal. Xia Shizhao shifted her gaze and started running seriously, her eyes full of coldness. She had better keep up the act now and not let her catch her by accident. She knew that she didn't have many blatant methods.
After everyone finished their morning training and returned to the team, Xia Shizhao calmed his breathing for a moment and naturally accepted the drink Ge Shiyi handed him, saying, "Thanks."
"No need, I didn't expect you to run so fast."
"Not bad, but you can run faster."
Ge Shiyi shrugged, shifted her gaze to the line, and leaned closer to her, whispering, "You were just now...?"
Xia Shizhao nodded, glanced coldly at the few people looking at him, and replied softly, "I'll tell you after the event."
"OK."
The morning exercise duration varies from college to college. When passing by the Mecha Department, Xia Shizhao suddenly saw a dazzlingly white leader. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Ye Qiuling.
Ge Shiyi, who was standing nearby, also saw it and her eyes widened slightly: "Wow, General Ye is training too! I thought even generals wouldn't train with students!"
"Hmm? Why do you say that?" A little curious, Xia Shizhao turned his gaze to her.
Ge Shiyi chewed her gum awkwardly. "Ahem... well, some of the old generals haven't been on the battlefield for a long time, um, I think..."
Still hesitant to speak, she glanced around and, when no one was looking at them, whispered in Xia Shizhao's ear, "I think those people will look down on us. They are completely different online and offline. Don't be fooled. It's fine for us to observe, but don't be like some people who idolize these generals."
It's complicated. Xia Shizhao didn't like playing tricks in her past life, and of course, her adoptive parents wouldn't allow it either, so she wasn't involved in the fight for the family fortune. But there was plenty of fun around her. Some illegitimate children would kill the rightful heirs in order to get their inheritance, while others would set traps to get them involved in things they shouldn't have and then report them.
The fight was so fierce that it caused chaos, bloodshed, and in some cases, even death.
Xia Shizhao was also unintentionally involved, but she felt that it was most likely just bad luck on her part, because the driver was fine, while she was hit and spent half a month in the hospital.
In places where class distinctions are so pronounced, the bloodshed is likely to be even greater.
After leaving the mecha department, Xia Shizhao couldn't help but look at Ye Qiuling, who was doing morning training.
The person leading the run seemed to sense something, and Ye Qiuling suddenly stopped and looked back. The two met eyes from dozens of meters apart.
Xia Shizhao's breath hitched, and she awkwardly looked away, quickening her pace to leave. Ge Shiyi almost couldn't keep up. "Hey, Zhaozhao, is something wrong? Why are you walking so fast?"
"I have class, and there are five minutes left before class starts."
"Huh? Damn it, I have class too!!"
Xia Shizhao suddenly stopped, a little confused, and asked, "Isn't the mechanical theory class in the afternoon? Did I remember wrong?"
"Ah, no, my friend is in the command department. I'm going to audit some classes there and see what they're teaching."
"Oh, then you'd better hurry up, or you won't be able to get in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Shizhao took off running and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Ge Shiyi's mouth gaped open in shock, showing that she was in a hurry.
Today is the first day of the pharmacy class. I was admitted as an exception only because the pharmacy teacher strongly requested it.
She absolutely cannot be late!
Thinking that Xia Shizhao was running even faster, the students walking felt a gust of wind brush past them, and they were also shocked as they watched the afterimage of his running figure.
"My god, that speed... is that S-level skill? And another person ranked tenth?"
"N-I don't know, I guess? But the people ranked tenth should be torturing each other in the simulated combat room at this time..."
"That's true... It can't be a freshman, can it?"
The bell rang, and the two students, who were about to start class, let out a sharp, loud bang and began to run as fast as they could.
At the last minute, Xia Shizhao precisely stepped on the bell to start class, sat down in her seat, took a slight breath, and winked at the teacher who had been looking at her kindly since she entered the room.
The teacher chuckled softly, then straightened her expression after a moment. Her long, black hair was neatly coiled at the back of her head, and her loose-fitting cheongsam gave her a peaceful and elegant aura. Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for all the students in the class to hear, "Hello everyone, my name is Ling Shuang, the vice president of the Pharmacy Association, and now your pharmacy teacher. On the first day of class, we won't be learning any new knowledge. Come up here and let me introduce myself so you can get to know me. Don't be nervous."
"Let's start with the student who just checked the location."
Xia Shizhao, who hadn't even warmed his seat yet: ...Me again?
Compared to her classmates in the Mechanical Engineering department, Xia Shizhao clearly felt the restraint of her classmates, who all watched her silently, seemingly expecting her to go first.
With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Xia Shizhao thought that since everyone in her class was an omega, she wasn't so cold anymore. She cleared her throat slightly and said, "Everyone, I'm Xia Shizhao. I look forward to spending time with you all in the future."
Then came a burst of enthusiastic applause.
After Xia Shizhao returned to his seat, Ling Shuang looked encouragingly at the students behind him. Xia Shizhao clearly felt the students behind him take a deep breath and whisper encouragement to him before walking up.
"B-Everyone... I'm Zhao Qian, and I hope we can get along well in the future."
Her face visibly flushed, and her classmates applauded enthusiastically.
So cute! It looks adorable, like a little cake.
Xia Shizhao clapped his hands with a smile as he watched her come down.
The students in the pharmacy class were quite shy and well-behaved, and they didn't cause any trouble throughout the day.
Xia Shizhao was walking down the street after class at 8 p.m. when he saw the class schedule sent to him via his communicator.
My vision went black for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Shizhao rubbed his throbbing temples. It seemed he was in for a busy time ahead.
We have morning training at 6 a.m., classes at 8 a.m., and then practical training in the lab until 8 p.m. in the afternoon.
Fortunately, the weekend slots weren't taken, so I can go check out the auction.
