Bai Yue followed the homeroom teacher to the principal’s office once again.
The homeroom teacher’s attitude was completely different from last time as he knocked respectfully, waiting for someone to answer.
Suddenly, several burning gazes pierced his spine.
Although Bai Yue was used to being cooped up, those glances were far from kind. Turning, he saw Fang Zhenren’s parents standing nearby, glaring at him.
Fang Zhenren’s mother’s expression was particularly fierce, almost wanting to devour him, her face brimming with rage.
Recalling what had just happened, she was filled with indignation.
After receiving a call from General Lu, they had intended to go to the principal’s office together to see why the military had sent over such a high-ranking official. But before they could even step inside, they were blocked at the door.
The male teacher, acting with presumptuous authority, said it was an internal college matter, off-limits to outsiders.
Outsiders? Were they?
Their child was a Luohua College student. A military official visiting Luohua College—such a major event, as parents, they had a right to know!
Furthermore, the male teacher’s attitude was utterly contemptuous.
Mother Fang had never suffered any injustice since she was a child, and even more so after marrying her husband and becoming the wife of a captain. How dare they just leave them alone? How despicable!
“Leave them alone,” the homeroom teacher said, now completely siding with Bai Yue, feeling rather helpless. “They weren’t happy to wait in the staff room just now. Don’t worry, you have the military backing you up; they wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”
Bai Yue remained silent.
The door to the principal’s office opened. A tall, imposing officer had opened the door.
He stepped back and gestured for the two to come in.
The homeroom teacher stepped aside and said to Bai Yue, “Come on, go in first.”
Inside, the principal stood behind the sofa, looking cautious. Another stranger sat on the sofa. He wore a light white military uniform, with military insignia on his shoulders and chest, as if he had just come from a formal meeting.
His aura was undeniable even just sitting there.
The man looked up. Despite his youthful appearance, faint crow’s feet still appeared at the corners of his eyes when he smiled.
He took in the student’s face and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Are you Bai Yue?”
The door closed behind him.
Bai Yue nodded. “Hello.”
Unaware of General Lu’s change of expression, the homeroom teacher hurriedly explained, “Bai Yue does look more like an Omega now, but the test results are absolutely true.”
General Lu glanced at the homeroom teacher before looking away. He clasped his hands in his lap and said, “I received a report about you from the hospital. I’m sure you understand why I came here.”
After reading the report, he didn’t even have time to hold a meeting. To avoid being beaten to the punch, he rushed here in a private airship.
The hospital’s report was a little late. Although the hospital had temporarily issued the notice, to avoid errors in the report, they repeated the test several times and confirmed that the error rate was below 0.000001% before submitting the report to the military.
General Lu didn’t care about the early or late timing. All he needed was to be the first to see the report and arrive.
And judging by what had happened today, it was clear he had achieved that.
Hearing General Lu’s question, Bai Yue smiled. “You are the principal of the Imperial First Military Academy. Are you here for the enrolment?”
“Yes,” General Lu stood up, walked over to Bai Yue, and extended his hand. “I sincerely invite you to become a member of our academy. Together, we will serve our motherland and contribute to the Empire.”
Bai Yue looked at General Lu’s hand.
Any Alpha aspiring to become a soldier couldn’t resist such temptation.
Becoming a student at the Imperial First Military Academy meant having already stepped halfway into the military, and future advancement was virtually guaranteed.
However, Bai Yue himself wasn’t that eager to become a soldier.
He was born an Omega, perhaps influenced by this, he simply wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life. He envisioned opening a restaurant, running a small business, and waiting for Shang Yufei’s return home each day.
Even now, after his second differentiation, his desires hadn’t changed much.
“…”
So that’s how it was.
That night, he noticed Shang Yufei’s expression was off, so he went to ask his father what he had said. It was then that he learned about the “Imperial Law” issue.
Shang Yufei might have concealed it because he wanted to handle it alone. But for Bai Yue, he couldn’t just sit there and wait.
What was at stake now was more than a simple promotion. To change his current situation, he needed to know the ceiling of his potential if he chose to attend the Imperial First Military Academy.
Bai Yue looked up at General Lu’s handsome face but didn’t agree immediately.
“I want to know how this will benefit me.”
The principal and the homeroom teacher were shocked by his words. How could he ask such a utilitarian question? It would lower his score!
The officer nearby also looked slightly displeased.
General Lu didn’t care. “You’re right, I was impatient.” He gestured, “Please, sit down and talk.”
Bai Yue sat on the sofa.
General Lu sat opposite him. His subordinate, hands clasped behind his back, stood to the side of the sofa. From beginning to end, he remained silent.
General Lu: “First, let’s talk about our school.”
“As the empire’s premier military academy, the Imperial First Comprehensive Military Academy enjoys substantial state support. The facilities are exceptional, and the faculty is top-notch.”
“However, tuition is also expensive. However, there are scholarships available for gifted students.”
General Lu: “With your qualifications, you should be able to get a full scholarship. That’s equivalent to paying no tuition for four years.”
He said, “Your family isn’t wealthy. And the most expensive part of raising a child is education. If you can save that much money, it will surely ease the pressure on your parents.”
Bai Yue’s eyes flickered.
The military had even investigated his family situation.
General Lu seemed oblivious and tapped the table. “Also, according to our school’s policy, we also provide subsidies to general students. As long as you meet the military merit requirements, living expenses will not be a problem. Whether you want to save it or send it to your parents, it’s your choice.”
“This amount is far more than what a regular part-time job would pay,” he said, clasping his hands together. “I don’t think other academies can offer such conditions.”
Bai Yue fell silent.
General Lu’s words undoubtedly hit a sore spot.
Indeed, he wanted to become independent as soon as possible to reduce the burden on his family. Compared to other academies, the conditions offered by the Imperial First Comprehensive Military Academy were very generous.
General Lu noted Bai Yue’s reaction and continued, “Of course, money is just a superficial thing. ‘Emperor One’ can offer you much more than that.”
“A broader perspective, more outstanding students, a brighter future.”
General Lu: “Your choice will determine the future of your family and even your descendants. Do you have no greater desires, merely content with the status quo?”
“The higher your social status, the more you can gain and change. Currently, most of the top military officials are graduates of our school. It’s no exaggeration to say that the highest rank you can reach—”
General Lu paused, then smiled, “will be ‘Marshal.'”
Although he wasn’t speaking to himself, the homeroom teacher and the principal were thrilled. If the students of Luohua College could truly reach that height in the future—it would really be a lifetime of honor.
However, no matter how much they wanted to agree, the final decision still rested with Bai Yue himself. They all turned their heads to look over.
Even after hearing these captivating words, Bai Yue’s expression didn’t change much.
He pondered for a long time. After a moment, he looked up and smiled. “Your words are indeed very tempting. If you become a marshal, even imperial law can be easily overturned.”
If you become a marshal.
Coming from a student, these words would sound truly arrogant and ignorant. But if this person’s genetic level was S+, others would seem to think it was possible, with a promising future.
General Lu didn’t dislike greed—as long as they possessed the corresponding strength.
He smiled broadly, “Indeed.”
Bai Yue: “I need to discuss this matter with my parents first.” He still didn’t make a final decision, but it was almost an agreement.
General Lu nodded: “Indeed, this is a big deal for you. If you have made a decision, please contact me.”
He looked at the principal and said: “Excuse me, do you have a pen and paper?”
The principal hurriedly handed it over. General Lu tore off a piece of white paper, wrote his contact information in a flourish, and handed it to Bai Yue.
He said: “Until you make a decision, I will stay in Luocheng for a while.”
Bai Yue reached out to take it. He glanced at the phone number and said, “I see.”
General Lu then stood up. “That’s all for today. I’ll take my leave.”
The principal hurried after him, “I’ll see you off!”
The door opened. And as they exited, they were greeted by someone.
“General Lu!”
It was Fang Zhenren’s parents. They hadn’t left yet, waiting outside. But the room was so well-soundproofed that they couldn’t overhear anything.
While they didn’t know what Bai Yue and General Lu had discussed, the way they’d treated Bai Yue just now meant that this poor boy, now that he had finally found a supporter, would surely take the opportunity to complain. So, they had to explain everything quickly.
The taciturn officer stepped forward, placing himself in front of the couple. “What’s going on?”
Mother Fang asked anxiously, “We just wanted to speak to General Lu!”
Father Fang straightened his collar and extended his hand. “Hello, I’m Fang Luren, Captain of the First Battalion of the Los Angeles Legion. It’s an honor to meet you here.”
The officer glanced down but didn’t shake his hand.
Captain Fang’s hand hung awkwardly in the air. But after so many years of experience in the military, this awkwardness wasn’t a big deal.
Captain Fang withdrew his hand and coughed softly. “Actually, my child goes to school here too. He’s in the same class as that poor… Bai Yue.”
The homeroom teacher, unsure of what Fang Zhenren’s parents were up to, intervened, “You two, let’s discuss your child’s matter later.”
Captain Fang ignored the male teacher. “It’s rare for General Lu to be here. We might as well make things clear now to let them avoid recruiting the wrong student.”
“You—” the officer grumbled.
A soldier’s most basic virtue was obedience to superiors. While the Luocheng Legion wasn’t under General Lu’s command, they were still superior officers. This self-proclaimed captain possessed no military integrity at all.
General Lu patted his subordinate, motioning him to step aside.
He had initially shown no interest in the couple. But since they mentioned the S+-ranked student, he wanted to hear what they had to say.
Captain Fang finally regained some confidence. After gathering his thoughts, he said, “This student, relying on his high mental power, has repeatedly sent my son to the hospital. My son is still lying unconscious and has been there for several days.”
While the military prioritized genetic level, they also prioritized character and integrity. Even the most promising student, if unusable, was a hidden danger.
The homeroom teacher hastily explained, “It’s still unclear. We’re not sure if Bai Yue injured your child. Besides, the whole process is still under investigation…”
“What’s the whole process? The fact is, he sent my son to the hospital!” Mother Fang, completely ignoring the admiral’s presence, raised her voice. “Teacher, you can’t favor the culprit just because of genetic level!”
The homeroom teacher was at a loss for words: “I, I didn’t.”
Although, in his heart, he did favor Bai Yue.
“If you don’t believe it, let him say it himself.” Mother Fang pointed at Bai Yue, “Did you just admit with your own mouth that you did it?!”
Bai Yue noticed General Lu’s gaze and looked back: “Yes.”
“I sent the son of these two and several Alpha students to the hospital.”
Hearing this, the soldier couldn’t help but frown. He was honest by nature and never tolerated the strong bullying the weak. If this was true, whether to admit this student may still be debatable.
“Admiral…” General Lu raised his hand and motioned him not to speak.
Before Bai Yue finished speaking, his gaze returned to the couple: “However, it was your son who thought I was an Omega. So he intended to mark me by force, and I had to engage in ‘self-defense’.”
“I didn’t expect them to be unconscious for so long.” He smiled, “We can only blame them for being too weak.”
