When Zuo Luohuan put the face lock back into the gift box and came out, the butler was already waiting outside and only swept a glance at the box in her hand before remembering which family sent it.

  ”This is a gift from the Ji family.” The butler locked the warehouse door and followed closely behind Zuo Luohuan, and suddenly realized, “Young Miss, you want to personally prepare a coming of age gift for the young master of the Ji family?” 

  Zuo Luohuan weighed the gift box in her hand, remembering what was inside, and said meaningfully, “Uncle Zhao, the young master of the Ji family personally prepared my coming of age gift, since he has come of age, I should personally pick out a gift for him.”

  The butler pretended not to hear the deeper meaning in her words, and only said, “Madam thought you would be away from the capital on the 28th, and had prepared a gift for the young master of the Ji family in advance, do you wish to……”

  ”No, Mom’s gift is sent on the behalf of the Zuo family, I’m sending another gift as a classmate.”

  The butler watched Zuo Luohuan go upstairs and mentally mumbled, was the Young Miss this kind? She was likely thinking of some way to embarrass the young master of the Ji family.

  After returning to her bedroom, Zuo Luohuan casually threw the gift box on her desk, walked to the bed, bent down and pulled the bedside table away. She reached out and pressed the wall, which flashed, then suddenly concaved, after which the entire wall split in the middle and shifted away from both sides, revealing a dark room.

  The center of the dark room had two large walls hung with weapons, not to mention the heavy weapons that were lying around, it could be said that all the varieties of artillery weapons a single person could possibly use were here. There was also a row of stands on the long table inside, which housed long and short knives of various materials.

  Zuo Luohuan took a step into the room, swept her eyes over the guns on the wall, then turned to look at the long table row of racks, and brushed her hand over one of the uppermost long knife and pulled it out. Her hand gripped the handle of the knife, unsheathed it with slight force, revealing a cold and shiny blade.

  It’s a good knife, but it was a shame she couldn’t take it with her.

  Finally she took a dagger from the lower level of the row of stands. Its blade was slim and pliable, was made of non-metal compound fiber, and could be bent by gently pressing the end of the knife with one finger, but even if the whole blade was bent, as long as she let go, the blade returned to its original form.

  Zuo Luohuan stuffed the dagger into her left wrist, sticking it closely to her skin and pulling down her sleeve so no one would notice any abnormalities. After she retrieved the dagger, she walked out, closed the ‘door’ of the dark room again, and then returned the bedside table to its original position.

  After staying in her room for less than two hours, the door of her room was knocked on. From the sound of the knocking, the person outside was clearly not the butler.

  Zuo Luohuan got up and opened the door. A graceful and beautiful woman stood outside, and once they met eyes, her face lit up for a moment, but an angry frown appeared: “You still remembered to come home? The people from the school who came to complain and issue warnings are more diligent than you!”

  ”I was wrong.” Zuo Luohuan apologized from the goodness of her heart, “I won’t skip this semester.”

  Yi Tong looked at her daughter and finally loosened her brow, “Go down to eat, Uncle Zhao had the kitchen staff make your favorites.”

  ”Where’s Dad?”

  ”In the living room, he’s waiting for you to eat together.” Yi Tong let her daughter hold her arm and walk downstairs, “Uncle Zhao said you wanted to prepare a separate gift for Yuezhi? Don’t have any crooked ideas, the Ji family and our family are competing for resources, but there’s no need for you youngsters to get involved.”

  ”I’m just trying to bond with my classmates.” Zuo Luohan casually tossed out a reason.

  ”It better be that.” Yi Tong looked at Zuo Luohuan with some distaste and said, “If only you could be as understanding as Yuezhi, he attended the school for one year and became the Head of the Wind Disciplinary Division for almost a year, while you attended the school for one year and skipped classes for one year.”

  Zuo Luohuan: “……”

  The Disciplinary Division was indeed a good organization, basically all of the best students in the First Military Academy were in it, to be able to become the Director, it was needless to say how robust their networking would be in the future. In this aspect, Ji Yuezhi indeed did extremely well. Now the Wind Discipline Division was his turf.

  After criticizing her daughter, Yi Tong let her go eat. The head of the Zuo family was already waiting at the main seat.

  Zuo Dihong did not have much reaction when he saw Zuo Luohan. He just nodded and gestured for her to sit down and eat: “The crispy chicken strips were just made, try it.”

  …… 

  The next morning, Zuo Luohuan was kicked out of the house, and Yi Tong almost pointed at her nose and told her to go to school.

  Zuo Luohuan could only go to school, this time she didn’t run into anyone from the Disciplinary Division and managed to reach the classroom where she had class.

  Jiang Hong looked at her empty hands, then looked at her empty desk, before stifling out a sentence: “……did you not bring any books to class?”

  ”I didn’t go to the dormitory.” Zuo Luohuan indifferently said, “I remember the contents of the book.”

  This class was on Federal History, last week when she received the book, she had already flipped through the book in its entirety.

  ”Damn.”

  The teacher had not yet arrived in the classroom. Jiang Hong looked at the person who had came in through the door, and elbowed Zuo Luohuan, who had her arms crossed and her eyes closed: “For next month’s elective courses, I reckon you guys won’t be able to avoid getting paired, either in the shooting class or the sparring class. The campus network anonymous have already set up bets on which of you two is stronger. Of course …… we’ll have to wait for him to successfully differentiate.”

  Zuo Luohuan opened her eyes, her gaze fell on the person in the front row, suddenly remembering that black face lock yesterday, and the tip of her tongue couldn’t help but press against the back rows of her teeth, her eyes tinged with a trace of wildness: “So what if he successfully differentiates?”

  Jiang Hong remembered the terrifying oppression of Zuo Luohuan’s pheromone and felt somewhat unhappy, but soon he perked up: “Before, you said that he can kick Xiang Chengping around without differentiating. When he succeeds in differentiating, he may not be worse than you.”

  ”We’ll see.”

  The person in the front row seemed to notice that someone was talking about him in the back. After sitting down, he slightly shifted his head and swept his gaze sideways toward the back, and soon withdrew his gaze, which no one noticed.

  …… 

  ”Recently, all the organizations are recruiting new people.” Jiang Hong accompanied Zuo Luohuan on walking down the campus street. He pointed to the longest line and said, “That’s the Wind Disciplinary Division recruiting. You weren’t here last year, bur there are several times more people here than there were back then. It’s likely that they’re all here for Ji Yuezhi.”

  Zuo Luohuan’s attention was instead attracted by an organization recruiting across the street, more specifically the person standing in front of the recruiting desk. She walked over there and kicked the other party’s calf: “Freshman, I forgot to ask you last time, what’s your name?”

  Yan Yan was wolfing down the trial pastries made by the Gourmet Club. After being kicked, he wanted to finish the last bite before he wanted to retaliate out of reflex, but when he saw that it was Zuo Luohuan, he subconsciously froze: “Yan, Yan Yan.”

  ”Did no one ever tell you to restrain your pheromones on campus?” Zuo Luohuan asked him as she crossed her arms, “If you really can’t control it, then stick on an anti-pheromone patch.”

  In an instant, Yan Yan looked at Zuo Luohuan in a different way, with a bit of fear and weariness: “You’re also from the Wind Disciplinary Division?”

  ”Impulsive and rash.” Zuo Luohuan swept her gaze over his arms and legs and snorted slightly, “Although your physical fitness is not bad.”

  Yan Yan’s face turned ugly. He wanted to retort, but instinctively reminded himself that it was better to shut up. When Ji Yuezhi broke his arm and leg, he only felt defiant, but Zuo Luohan was different, on that day, back in that moment when he felt fear etched in his bones, he could still feel it to this day.

  ”It’s better to suppress your pheromones. I can smell it from a mile away.” Zuo Luohuan said, “The school doesn’t have only alphas.” 

  Even if omegas nowadays have isolating agents that can effectively block out alpha pheromones, if pheromones weren’t properly converged in public places, it was equal to sexual harassment. Of course, some people who come from remote areas don’t care about these kinds of rules.

  ”Which army did your parents serve in?” Zuo Luohuan suddenly asked.

  Before admission into the school, having already differentiated, along with no sign of cleanliness in his conduct, and a school organization’s randomly made pastries were eaten with much relish. Judging from this, he was likely not someone from a major region. He also had a strong aura of being a military brat, and most likely belonged to a remote army where his parents served.

  ”The 377th Army of West River Exiled Star!” Yan Yan puffed up his chest and said in a muffled voice.

  Jiang Hong twitched and glanced at Zuo Luohuan: “It’s considered to be affiliated with the Midwinter Army.”

  Zuo Luohuan tossed Yan Yan a card: “I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow, here’s the address.”

  Yan Yan looked down and held the card with the restaurant’s name on it, finally remembering that the leader of the Midwinter Army seemed to be surnamed Zuo.

  Before leaving, Jiang Hong kindly reminded him, “At the First Military Academy, except for omegas, the anti-pheromone patch is only used by hopeless alphas.”

  Yan Yan: “……”

  On the other side, Ding Wuming finished his registration at the Wind Disciplinary Office and came over only to see Yan Yan frozen in place. He came over and asked, “Yan Yan, I’m done registering, what sort of vip card are you holding in your hand?”

  ”A restaurant’s.” Yan Yan put the card away, turned around and shamelessly scrounged another plate of trial pastries before leaving with Ding Wuming.

  Zuo Luohan and Jiang Hong didn’t get very far before they ran into Ji Yuezhi, who as always was neatly groomed, with his uniform buttons always meticulously buttoned to the very top.

  ”Before you even graduate, you plan on privately enlisting forces?” Ji Yuezhi lifted his gaze to look at Zuo Luohuan, his stare resembling snow that never melted on mountain peaks, cold and extremely fierce, “You came back to school just for this?”

  Zuo Luohuan gave a frivolous laugh: “Compared to our Wind Disciplinary Division Head who can enlist the entire military school’s most outstanding students, my methods are still a tad inferior.”

  Ji Yuezhi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and finally went ahead first, no longer talking to her.

  On the contrary, Zuo Luohan chose to turn her head back and provoke him: “Classmate Ji, did you forget to dock yesterday’s points?”

  The next second, Zuo Luohuan’s light brain transmitted a notification that the system had deducted her points.

  Zuo Luohuan: “…… tsk.”

Hash: Originally it said “cow” which means “awesome” so I did “Damn.”

Was thinking of “Sick.” at first but “Damn” seemed to convey the effect better.
