Bai Yue didn’t know much about the Imperial First Comprehensive Military Academy. Therefore, unless Shang Yufei contacted him, he couldn’t find him through other means.

Now he could only wait until the start of the semester and then go directly to the other person’s class.

The next morning, Bai Yue was woken up by his phone ringing. He instinctively thought it was a reply from Shang Yufei and abruptly opened his eyes. But when he picked up his phone, he realized it was an email from the military academy.

[Dear Bai Yue,

Congratulations on passing our school’s assessment and officially becoming a member of “Imperial First Comprehensive Military Academy”. Please see the attachment for your specific score and ranking.]

Seeing this email, Bai Yue couldn’t say whether he was happy or disappointed. He turned off his phone and sat up in bed.

At the same time, his roommates’ phones rang one after another.

“Damn! I passed!”

Everyone was still sleepy. Upon seeing the text message announcing their results, they immediately forgot their morning grumpiness, jumped out of bed in their underwear, waved their arms, shouting, and laughing wildly.

When they saw Bai Yue sitting on the bed, calmly looking at them, they immediately became shy and crossed their arms, saying, “Good morning.”

Bai Yue: “Good morning.”

After getting dressed, since Bai Yue didn’t seem that excited, the three roommates couldn’t help but exchange glances.

This alpha who looks like an omega, has he not passed?

That makes sense, after all, he looks so delicate, his genetic level is probably not high. These two tests were so harsh, it’s already amazing that he survived.

Considering the other’s sad feelings, the three temporarily suppressed their excitement.

Roommate A: “It’s okay, just consider it gaining experience.”

Roommate B nodded: “Actually, we barely passed.”

Roommate C wanted to pat his shoulder to comfort him, but when he saw Bai Yue’s face, he shyly withdrew his hand: “There’s still the college entrance exam, you’re welcome to apply to ‘Imperial First’ again.”

Bai Yue: “?”

What are these three talking about?

Just then, there was a loud knocking at the door. “Bang bang bang,” several times in a row, very anxious.

Bai Yue went to open the door. As soon as he opened the app, he saw Lu Ke clutching his phone, his face flushed red with excitement.

“Bai Yue, you were right! I passed!”

He was still somewhat incredulous when he first saw his score. He checked it several times before accepting this surprising fact. So he immediately ran over to share the good news with his friend.

Bai Yue smiled: “Congratulations.”

He had always thought that Lu Ke wouldn’t have any major problems.

Lu Ke scratched the back of his head sheepishly: “Although my ranking is low, I will work hard to improve at the South China Sea Naval Academy!”

“By the way, how’s it going on your end?” Lu Ke didn’t think Bai Yue would have any problems, but he was a little concerned about the other’s ranking.

Although he got a B grade on the first test, in his opinion, Bai Yue’s strength was far more than that.

After all, he had seen it with his own eyes—! After releasing his pheromones, the other had knocked everyone down in the blink of an eye!

His three roommates couldn’t help but peek out when they saw an omega running over. The other person was much smaller than Bai Yue, with curly hair and rosy cheeks that made him look quite cute.

But when they heard the question, they couldn’t help but tense up.

It was like rubbing salt in the wound. Bai Yue looked so disappointed; his grades must not have been ideal. They had all held back from asking earlier. This omega was practically walking into the line of fire.

Bai Yue: “I passed.”

The three roommates were stunned.

Huh? Passed?

Lu Ke’s eyes lit up: “What’s the score?”

Bai Yue hadn’t had time to check earlier. Hearing Lu Ke’s question, he reopened the email and downloaded the attachment.

[Name: Bai Yue

Gender: Alpha

Number: 021

Score: 185

Ranking: 1]

Lu Ke also leaned over to look, and when he saw the contents, he was immediately surprised and delighted: “First place!!”

He was even more excited than before: “Bai Yue, I knew you were amazing!”

What? First place?

The three roommates exchanged glances.

Had they misread it? Even if this seemingly weak alpha passed, it was impossible for him to get such an exaggerated score.

Some of them were curious, so they all crowded around.

The phone screen wasn’t big, but the image was crystal clear. When they saw what it said, their mouths dropped open in astonishment.

“First place???”

They couldn’t have seen it wrong, there was no way they could have.

To get such a score, he was undoubtedly number one!

“First place!!!”

This shout almost pierced the walls and echoed through the sky.

Bai Yue was startled by the enormous volume coming from behind him and covered his ears with one hand.

But when the three of them looked at Bai Yue again, the meaning behind their gazes was completely different.

In their eyes, there was surprise, longing, and admiration.

Their gazes were simply too intense. Bai Yue felt his back burning. So he turned around and smiled at the three of them, then slammed the door shut.

Silence.

After the results came out, some were happy and some were sad.

And so, the short but long entrance exam came to an end. Except for the qualified students from “Imperial First,” all the other students were taken away by the seniors from their own school.

Those who failed the exam could only beat their chests and weep bitterly, pitifully preparing to go home to face the college entrance exam.

Lu Ke had been smiling broadly that morning.

But by the afternoon, when the senior students from the South China Sea Naval Academy came to pick him up, he burst into tears, clinging to Bai Yue with reluctance.

“You…you’re the first alpha friend I’ve ever made,” Lu Ke sobbed, “I feel like I won’t be afraid of other alphas anymore after being with you.”

“Lu Ke,” Bai Yue suddenly said.

Lu Ke: “Wh-what’s wrong?”

Bai Yue placed his hand on Lu Ke’s shoulder and said softly, “As an omega, it’s better to be a little wary of alphas.”

Lu Ke: “???”

After the students who failed the exam and those from other schools left, the temporary dormitory was shrunk by more than half, leaving only about a hundred people.

Originally, the number of students admitted through the recommendation system wasn’t large. After removing those who failed the exam and those from other schools, only these few hundred people officially became freshmen at the Imperial First Comprehensive Military Academy.

More students would be admitted to the Military Academies through the “National College Entrance Examination”.

Shortly after receiving the email notifying them of their scores, the school sent another email, asking everyone to gather in front of the temporary dormitory.

It was then that Bai Yue saw Mu Sihan for the first time in a long time.

This man had vanished since arriving at the temporary dormitory that night. Now, he was unchanged, standing aloof to one side, earphones in, exuding a cold demeanor.

Several people nearby whispered and sized up Mu Sihan, seemingly wanting to approach him but hesitant.

Du Qin, of course, also passed the test. Just like the day before, he was surrounded by a bustling crowd.

“Du Qin, you must have gotten a high score again, right?”

“After all, you were the first to discover the anomaly in the exam paper, definitely number one!”

“Dude, which department are you applying to? I’ll apply with you!”

In just a few days, Du Qin had already gained considerable prestige among the candidates.

After all, they were all in the same batch of recommended students and had gone through several exams together, so they had a lot in common. Through conversation, they quickly became acquainted.

Bai Yue’s roommates, always eager for a lively atmosphere, and seeing that the group consisted mostly of alphas, quickly joined in. But upon overhearing the conversation, they immediately objected: “Wait a minute, Bai Yue is clearly number one.”

“Bai Yue?” someone asked, puzzled. “Who’s Bai Yue?”

Having shared a room for two days, the three roommates were filled with pride, pointing to the boy standing apart from the crowd: “It’s him! It’s him! It’s him! His grades are top-notch!”

Following their gaze, everyone quickly saw the “number one” the three were talking about and couldn’t help but laugh: “Are you dreaming? Isn’t that an omega? How come he’s living with you and even got first place?”

The three exchanged glances, then sighed in unison.

Seeing this expression, the speaker suddenly had a bad feeling: “Why are you sighing?”

Roommate A: “We used to be as young as you.”

Roommate B: “But this world is more complicated than we imagine.”

Roommate C nodded emphatically.

Du Qin also heard their conversation. His gaze thus swept through the crowd to Bai Yue.

Receiving the email this morning, he felt no joy whatsoever.

Because he had no doubt about his ability to pass. On the contrary, when he saw that his ranking in the attachment wasn’t first, his mood instantly plummeted.

And now he could finally be certain that this glory had been snatched away by this guy who had undergone a second differentiation!

A white light flashed across Du Qin’s glasses as he stepped out of the crowd.

Noticing someone approaching, Bai Yue looked up.

Du Qin: “I heard you’re number one?” He smiled, “Congratulations.”

Bai Yue nodded: “Thank you.”

Seeing this scene, the people around finally understood. Their gazes towards Bai Yue also became unusual.

You really can’t judge a book by its cover. These two tests were so harsh, and in the end, this guy actually got first place!

Du Qin: “If you don’t mind, can I see the email?”

Bai Yue didn’t care and handed over his phone.

When he saw the number on the phone screen, Du Qin couldn’t help but feel a little dazzled.

Score 185, ranked first.

It wasn’t a slight difference, he was a full 40 points behind him.

He had gotten an A grade in the first test and had 5 bonus points. Even so, he was still far behind.

The difference brought about by genetic level was that huge.

Du Qin unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone, but his face didn’t show it.

He handed the phone back, his smile cold: “Thank you.”

After saying that, he wanted to leave. But just as he turned around, he heard someone call him from behind.

“Class monitor.”

Bai Yue chuckled, “If it’s convenient, can we talk?”

Du Qin turned around. His eyes behind his glasses were unreadable.
