Just within a week, the Wind Disciplinary Division deducted countless points. The new students suffered a lot of losses when they first arrived.

As for the older students, they could be divided into two groups. The first group always abided by the rules and regulations of the school and refused to allow the Disciplinary Division any opportunity to dock their points. The second group had constant urges to be impulsive, but they didn’t dare take it too far. Therefore, they committed minor offenses while desperately participating in various competitions to earn points.

“Zuo Luohuan has always been well received by the latter group of people.”

A lean, pale boy rattled to the person who was bent over and engrossed in making his bed.

Yan(严) Yan(岩)’s arms and legs weren’t fully recovered yet, so his speed was a beat slower than the average person. He folded the quilt into a tofu block before he straightened up and stared at his roommate: “Zuo Luohuan is number one on the First Military Academy Scarlet Rankings, and she’s a wimp?”

“I didn’t mean it like that.” Ding Wuming smiled in a good-natured way, “Haven’t you heard? Last year during both terms, she earned enough points within the first month of each term to offset the deductions from the Wind Disciplinary Division and faculty for skipping class. Afterwards, she never came back except for the finals during each term.”

This statement made Yan Yan freeze: “How did she earn points?” Last time he got docked fifteen points at the school gate and only had five points left, so he didn’t dare act rashly in the past few days.

“There’s a Competition Hall in the academy, where there are small games wagering one point, and big games wagering hundreds and thousands of points.” Seeing that he was interested, Ding Wuming leaned closer and whispered, “When Zuo Luohuan entered the Challenge Hall on the first day of school, she challenged the Top Ten of the Scarlet Rankings and the Top Ten of the Alpha Rankings, managed to win against all of them and took away all of the points that the older students had saved for a long time, leaving them with only starter points.”

Yan Yan’s eyes burst with excitement, obviously interested in the so-called Challenge Hall. He immediately turned around and strode out.

“Hey, where are you going, classmate Yan?” Ding Wuming asked as he followed behind.

“Challenges!”

“Have you recovered from your injuries yet?”

……

The new students were still familiarizing themselves with the school environment, while the regular students had already started officially taking classes.

The teacher looked around the classroom before class began. His eyes fell on a certain student at the very back and said with ambiguity: “We’ll be taking elective courses starting next month. I hope some students won’t think that they can exploit the credit loophole for two semesters and continue this practice. To be clear, the academy is already discussing ways to reform the point system.”

“Why didn’t he simply name you on the spot?” Jiang Hong lazily clasped his hands at the back of his head, leaning against the wall, and said to Zuo Luohuan next to him.

Zuo Luohuan’s fingers were holding a pen and tapping it against the table, with no intention of responding to Jiang Hong’s remarks. Her eyes fell on the upright man in the front row, her gaze sliding down the back of his pristine, slender neck area and down along his black uniform. Clearly, everyone wore the same uniform, but somehow she always felt that the uniform worn by the man in front is darker and nicer than others. It took her a moment to realize that it was the skin on the back of his neck that was too pale.

She couldn’t see anything further down, as it was blocked by tables.

Zuo Luohuan withdrew her gaze, asked with some interest with a tilt of her head, “Is his coming-of-age celebration coming up?”

“Whose?” Jiang Hong subconsciously replied, and when he noticed who Zuo Luohuan was looking at, he quickly reacted, “Ji Yuezhi? It’s on the 28th of this month, and it should be a big event for the Ji family, but……”

Jiang Hong had a gloating look and said, “He’s going to become an adult soon, but he hasn’t differentiated yet. Grandly holding a coming of age celebration, is the Ji family not worried?”

“He can kick Xiang Chengping down before differentiation, what would the Ji family be worried about?” Zuo Luohuan lowered her gaze to stare at the pen at her fingers for a long time and used her other hand to extract the pen and set it down.

“You know a lot despite not coming to classes.” Jiang Hong muttered with a scoff.

Xiang Chengping was the previous head of the Wind Disciplinary Division, ranked third on the Scarlet Rankings and second on the Alpha Rankings, one place before Jiang Hong. He didn’t regularly manage the Wind Disciplinary Division, so it had been a mess before Ji Yuezhi took over.

“This is the end of this lesson. Certain students would do well to restrain themselves a little.” The teacher pointed out once more before leaving.

After the teacher left, the students also left while discussing about the elective classes starting next month.

Ji Yuezhi packed up his things and got up to leave when he was blocked on the way.

A well-fitted black uniform wrapped snugly around his slender, lean body, with every button neatly buttoned, leaving only the skin of his neck exposed at the collar, which, when seen up close, was even more delicate, cold, and pale.

“What did you send for my coming-of-age celebration?” After sizing him up, Zuo Luohuan stood in front of Ji Yuezhi and raised her eyebrows, “I heard that classmate Ji’s coming-of-age celebration is coming up, so I was thinking of reciprocating your present.”

Ji Yuezhi’s demeanor was cold: “Do as you wish.” He bypassed Zuo Luohan and left the classroom.

Behind her, Jiang Hong looked at his departing back and tsked a few times, “Just yesterday, the Midwinter Army successfully seized a year’s worth of military equipment from the Seventeenth Army, and now today you’re confronting each other. Still, what kind of present did he give you last year?”

“I don’t know.” Zuo Luohuan reached into her pocket and fondled her cigarette case, pondering, “I haven’t looked at the presents I got from the celebration.”

……

The First Military Academy freshmen were eagerly anticipating the rumored match, hoping to witness Zuo Luohuan’s strength, but two weeks into the school year, there were no movements in the Challenge Hall.

“I heard that Zuo Luohuan got warned by the teacher, so she’s not going to earn points to skip class.”

“Really? I doubt she would listen to the teacher that easily.”

“Zuo Luohuan hasn’t gone to the Challenge Hall yet this semester.”

The Challenge Hall was crowded with people, who were discussing various topics, mostly about Zuo Luohuan, but soon these voices faded away and all eyes turned to the door…… Zuo Luohuan was here.

There was only a moment of silence. When Zuo Luohuan came in, the entire challenge hall began to boil, and everyone logically assumed that she had come to challenge a big game once again to earn points.

“I want to challenge you!” Before the crowd could react, Yan Yan took the lead and stood in front of Zuo Luohuan, his eyes bursting with intense excitement, over the past few days he had been fighting until now and gained a hundred or so points from his initial count of five, and his confidence was extremely inflated.

“You?” Zuo Luohuan’s sight swept over his left leg and right hand and suddenly smiled, “You’re not qualified enough yet.”

“Qualified or not, you’ll know when we fight!” Yan Yan threw his points into the challenge pool and rushed straight over.

The smile on Zuo Luohuan’s face had not yet disappeared. She took a step backward to avoid Yan Yan’s attack and both of her hands did not move.

Yan Yan saw her back off, his confidence increased, Zuo Luohuan was not that impressive……

He felt a blur in front of his eyes, only to feel extreme pain in his jaw, almost his tongue almost got bit off. It turned out to be Zuo Luohuan’s knee raised up and slamming him in his chin.

“You!” Yan Yan’s spine abruptly chilled, it was his instincts as an alpha reminding him of danger. However, before he could back off, Zuo Luohuan had already forced her way forward and kicked him in his right leg.

Yan Yan felt anger rush to his head. He gritted his teeth and supported himself with his other leg and clawed at Zuo Luohuan with both hands, trying to make her fall to the ground. However, he was kicked again. He heard a faint snicker: “You are not worthy enough.”

Then his left hand was trampled on.

Zuo Luohuan scanned the crowd: “I’m here to find someone, don’t bother me.” After saying that, she walked towards the second floor.

Yan Yan was slumped on the ground and punched the ground fiercely with his other hand. From the very beginning to the end Zuo Luohuan’s upper body did not move, she only used one leg to beat him down.

“You’re the first person ever,” Ding Wuming came over and helped Yan Yan, “to have Ji Yuezhi break your left leg and right hand, and have Zuo Luohuan break your right leg and left hand.”

Yan Yan: “……”

“By the way, you challenged her without getting permission, and Zuo Luohuan didn’t take your points.” Ding Wuming patted Yan Yan’s shoulder, “According to the rules of the Challenge Hall, all the points you got here will become zero.”

Yan Yan: “……”

“Classmate Yan, it’s better for you to figure out the school rules before acting.”

The second floor boxing room.

Zuo Luohuan had just pushed open the door when a boxing glove was thrown towards her. She raised her hand to catch it and entered through the door: “I need something from you.”

Jiang Hong looked up, threw the other glove on the floor, and grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat on his face: “I was wondering who came in, my light brain broke recently. What do you want?”

“I need to make a trip to the Military Reserve Database.” Zuo Luohuan threw the glove in her hand over.

“If you want to go then just go. What, you want me to come with you?” Jiang Hong smiled and received the boxing glove. After seeing her expression, he immediately became silent, and only after a while did he ask, “What do you mean?”

Zuo Luohuan sat down and paid no mind to him, “The twenty-eighth seems like a good day.”

“……” Jiang Hong stared at her, “You want to sneak in?”

Zuo Luohuan looked at him doubtfully: “Is that a no?”

The boxing room was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard. Jiang Hong finally asked, “What kind of present have you decided to give to Ji Yuezhi?”

Zuo Luohuan smiled: “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

She didn’t stay in the boxing room for long before Jiang Hong kicked her out. Zuo Luohan didn’t care, she came out and walked to her dorm room.

She was the only one in the dorm room. It was a single room specially assigned to her by the school. Not only her, but the top ten students who enter the First Military Academy every year have all single rooms.

Zuo Luohuan leaned against the wall, fished out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it and bit it in her mouth. She smoked half of it. The billowing smoke blurred most of her face, and after a while, she took off her uniform to reveal a white dress shirt that was stained with a large red color. She unbuttoned the shirt, and the bandages on her abdomen area had already been soaked.

Tsk, what a hassle.

Zuo Luohuan bit her cigarette, reached out and pulled open the drawer, fished out the bandages from inside, before unraveling the wet bandages on the abdomen area, exposing several deep visible wounds. She reapplied the medicine before replacing it with new bandages.

After changing into a clean uniform, Zuo Luohuan’s complexion returned to normal. If one ignored the sweat at the corners of her forehead, she looked no different from usual.

After staying in the dorm room for a long time. It wasn’t clear what Zuo Luohuan thought of, but she finally got up and walked outside of the school.

The First Military Academy only opened its gates on the weekends, so unless a student had a written permission slip, he or she could not leave the school. Zuo Luohuan did not bother to ask the teacher for leave, went straight to the fence and prepared to find a suitable location to slip out.

Just before she reached the corner of the wall, she didn’t have the chance to sneak out when a clear and cold voice sounded from behind her.

“Five points deducted for climbing the wall and for truancy.”

Zuo Luohuan turned around and saw Ji Yuezhi standing behind her, a pair of jet black eyes staring at herself.

The two of them were only a short distance apart when Ji Yuezhi walked towards her, and he quickly added with a frown, “Two points for smoking on campus.”

“Did you see me smoking on school grounds?”

“I can smell it.”

Zuo Luohuan suddenly leaned forward towards Ji Yuezhi, and when they were almost face-to-face, she tilted her head and leaned into his ear, “How do you know this isn’t my pheromone?”

Before Ji Yuezhi could react, Zuo Luohuan backed up and turned around, instantly leaping over the wall and leaving behind a sentence, “Feel free to deduct those points, I still have more.”

Ji Yuezhi stood in place, lowered his eyes and looked fixedly at the ground for a long time before seemingly murmuring to himself: “…… I know it’s not.”
