After Attending School A, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 6
Jiang Zhao returned to the classroom, while Qin Fengyue was kept in the hallway by Chen Fang for questioning.
“What’s going on? Causing trouble with a classmate on your very first day?”
Qin Fengyue said gloomily, “I misidentified her before. I always thought she was an Omega, and suddenly finding out she’s an Alpha… it’s a bit hard to swallow.”
Not just a bit—it was extremely hard to swallow! Qin Fengyue felt as uncomfortable as if she’d swallowed a fly.
“Misidentified?” Jiang Zhao certainly had a beautiful face, but at over 170cm, she was tall enough to look down on most women. How could she mistake that?
Chen Fang seemed to recall something and suddenly asked, “Do you judge people solely by their faces?”
Qin Fengyue choked. “Mainly by their gender.”
Chen Fang nodded and then said, “The school is very strict about AA romances. Basically, if they find a couple, they expel them both.”
Qin Fengyue’s eyes lit up. “There’s such a good deal?”
Chen Fang: “…” “You’re welcome to try.”
AA romance? Qin Fengyue tried to imagine that “beautiful picture” and gave herself goosebumps.
With a heavy expression, she said, “Don’t worry, Teacher. It’s not like it’s hard for me to find a partner; why would I ever be with an Alpha?”
Considering it was her first offense, Chen Fang let her into the classroom after a verbal warning.
Qin Fengyue went up to introduce herself. Before she could speak, the students below were already laughing and chatting.
“I know her! Her surname is Qin!” “Qin Fengyue? That’s a great name.” “Student Qin, I heard you have two thousand girlfriends, is that true?” someone asked.
Qin Fengyue didn’t say a word; at this point, she didn’t want to say anything at all.
Several Alphas in the middle and back rows laughed wantonly. She snorted coldly, picked up a piece of chalk, and scribbled a few large characters on the blackboard.
She had elegant, free-flowing handwriting—style that matched her name. In an environment full of Omegas, this was a move that would have earned her a lot of points. Unfortunately… she was facing a pack of unrefined Alphas.
Qin Fengyue and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at each other.
“Go on.” “Is that it?” “Say something, new classmate!”
Qin Fengyue was speechless.
“The seats in our class are basically full. Where do you want to sit?” Chen Fang asked.
Qin Fengyue’s gaze swept over the sea of heads and locked precisely onto the back two rows. “I’ll sit in the back.”
“Monitor?” Chen Fang asked. “Check who hasn’t arrived yet and find an empty spot for Qin Fengyue.”
The monitor was a tall, thin guy with glasses. “The spot in front of Jiang Zhao is empty, and there’s one seat in the third row.”
Then, Qin Fengyue saw Jiang Zhao stand up. When she wasn’t smiling, her features had a certain sharpness to them.
Jiang Zhao: “Where are you sitting?” Qin Fengyue: “I’ll take the second to last row.”
The second to last row—discreet, perfect for slacking off and sleeping. It was a paradise for bad students. Qin Fengyue’s longing for that spot was so great it could even encompass her resentment for Jiang Zhao.
Jiang Zhao said airily, “Sit in the third row toward the front.”
Qin Fengyue: “…” Then why the hell did you ask!
Qin Fengyue was assigned her seat. Her deskmate was a fair-skinned, red-faced female Alpha who had been staring at her since she walked in.
Qin Fengyue asked crossly, “What are you looking at?”
The female Alpha’s eyes were bright. “My name is Bai Xue. You and Jiang Zhao… Mmm~“
That “Mmm” did about eighteen vocal loops; the fires of gossip were burning fiercely in her eyes.
Qin Fengyue let out a cold “Heh” and pulled out her phone. “See this? Jiang Zhao’s WeChat.”
Bai Xue gripped her hands together. “You actually have Jiang Zhao’s WeChat?!” Her shock was palpable.
Qin Fengyue clicked on Jiang Zhao’s profile and performed a one-stop-shop “Blacklist and Block.”
Bai Xue: “…”
On her first day of transfer, Qin Fengyue personally installed Jiang Zhao onto the throne of her “arch-enemy for life.”
There were no classes on Return Day. Chen Fang supervised two periods of self-study, and the class was full of people rushing to finish summer homework. Qin Fengyue had nothing to do and slept until school let out for the afternoon.
When she was finally nudged awake, she looked at Bai Xue with sleep marks all over her face. “What is it?”
Bai Xue: “Class is over. Brother Fang told me to take you to the cafeteria. Evening self-study starts at 6:40. You can rest in the dorm for a bit after eating.”
The cafeteria? Qin Fengyue stood up and checked her phone. It was 5:10. She said, “Let’s go.”
The classroom was already empty. Bai Xue was about the same height as Qin Fengyue and was wearing pink. Qin Fengyue couldn’t help but size her up from head to toe.
Bai Xue smiled. “Do you want to ask if I’m an Omega?” Qin Fengyue: “Finished differentiating?” Bai Xue nodded.
Qin Fengyue: “…” She looked like a “Moe” girl, but who knew she’d be “bigger” than her once she pulled it out. Qin Fengyue instantly lost all interest.
“What about Jiang Zhao?” Bai Xue immediately put on a look of longing. “Jiang Zhao differentiated ages ago! She’s very low-key; no one knows her pheromone level to this day. We all suspect she might be a Super A!”
Super Alpha? Only those with superior pheromone levels are rated as Super A. There are fewer than a hundred such people in the entire country.
Qin Fengyue subconsciously touched the back of her neck.
By the time they dawdled to the cafeteria, the crowd had thinned out. Since only the seniors were back, only one window on the first floor was serving dinner.
Bai Xue grabbed a tray for Qin Fengyue. As they queued up, she asked curiously how Qin Fengyue’s differentiation was going.
Qin Fengyue smiled. “My pheromone rating is ‘High’.”
Suddenly, her shoulder was bumped. A provocative voice came from behind her: “High? What’s high about it, shorty?”
A few male Alphas approached, trays in hand. Qin Fengyue shifted her shoulder, stepped back two paces, and asked, “Something wrong?”
“I heard you have two thousand girlfriends?” one of the burly Alphas said.
Setting aside where the ridiculous concept of “two thousand” came from, facing these jealous, elementary-schooler faces was enough to make Qin Fengyue laugh. “Oh, is this the resentment of a single dog?”
“F— your mother!”
“Enough,” someone stopped the dark-skinned guy and turned to Qin Fengyue. He looked like a peacemaker, but his gaze was provocative. “New student, mind if we cut in line?”
Qin Fengyue: “Call me ‘Daddy’ and I might consider it.” “You—”
Qin Fengyue shrugged lazily. “Unwilling? Then get lost.”
Bai Xue finished getting her food and turned around just as a metal tray came whistling through the air. She froze in terror—
A snow-white hand caught the tray mid-air. Qin Fengyue’s face appeared from behind it. She patted the trembling Bai Xue’s shoulder and said, “Go wait for me over there.”
Bai Xue moved aside, but suddenly her hands were empty—her dinner was gone.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Fengyue slammed the steaming plate of food onto the dark-skinned guy’s buzzed head like a cap.
“Come, let Daddy feed you. Is one bowl enough?”
Bai Xue: “…”
The cafeteria lady poked her head out from the window, ladle in hand. “Next! Next! Where is everyone?”
The “next” was currently in a fight.
Qin Fengyue was in a 1-on-1 solo with the dark-skinned guy. She was as agile as a fish, and in a few moves, she unexpectedly floored him. Now, she was propping up her chin, crouching lazily in front of him, and talking trash: “What’s wrong? With only this much ability, how do you deserve to be Daddy’s son?”
Bai Xue: “…”
The guy was from Class 11 downstairs—a delinquent who skipped class, fought, drank, and smoked. No one dared mess with him. Now, he was sprawling in a mess of rice and vegetables, looking as pathetic as could be.
Meanwhile, the fair-skinned, non-threatening-looking Qin Fengyue looked more like a reckless hoodlum. Her smile was roguish but not sleazy; she even looked a bit cute… the mole on her nose made her look as vibrant as a blooming flower, unintentionally drawing everyone’s attention.
In School A, even Alphas were mostly ordinary people studying quietly. Someone as high-profile as Qin Fengyue on their first day was rare.
Bai Xue whispered urgently, “Qin Fengyue—”
Qin Fengyue ignored her. People nearby were taking videos with their phones. She just sat there crouching, her eyes curved into crescents, hands cupping her cheeks.
So cool… Bai Xue thought involuntarily. Suddenly, she looked away with a red face. Oh no, my heart is beating so fast.
The dark-skinned guy looked humiliated, and his companions felt like they’d been slapped as well. They put down their things.
“Excuse me.” A cold voice cut through.
The bystanders held their breath. The tension was reaching a peak, a big fight was about to break out, and someone just walks through? The atmosphere vanished instantly.
Qin Fengyue was still crouching, looking up at Jiang Zhao in a daze. “What are you doing?”
Jiang Zhao nudged the bottom of her foot with her shoe. “Move.”
Qin Fengyue “tsk-ed” and stood up. “Can’t you see what’s happening—”
Jiang Zhao took the opportunity to grab her wrist and pulled her toward the window. “Get your food.”
“?”
The whole situation was surreal. Qin Fengyue was stunned; forget the fact that Jiang Zhao had the nerve to drag her away—why did that group of troublemakers take the loss without a single word?
Even weirder, in a place as small as the school, this should have been a significant incident. She waited for days for Chen Fang to hear the news and scold her, but no message ever came. It was as if the fight with Class 11 had vanished into thin air. But that’s a story for later.
Jiang Zhao, having done her good deed anonymously, had already left.
Qin Fengyue stared at her dinner, wondering: Are those guys really that afraid of her? When did her reputation as an undifferentiated Alpha become so legendary that even the thugs of School A were wary?
After dinner, time flowed like water. Qin Fengyue felt like she’d barely walked around the school before it was time for evening self-study.
She had truly never done evening self-study before and found it hard to adjust. Entering the classroom, her first instinct was to glance at the very last row. Jiang Zhao wasn’t there… she breathed a secret sigh of relief.
Was it… guilt?
Qin Fengyue unilaterally interpreted the cafeteria incident as Jiang Zhao being a meddler, but Bai Xue talked about it all night, saying how cool Jiang Zhao was… that she was the role model of School A…
A tiny bit of conscience pricked her, but it was immediately replaced by her stubbornness.
Want her to say thank you to Jiang Zhao? No way!
As evening self-study neared its end, Chen Fang announced some disastrous news.
Tomorrow, there would be a diagnostic “placement” exam. It would last for two days.
Qin Fengyue: “Placement exam?”
Bai Xue looked pale but didn’t forget to comfort her. “Yeah, a placement exam. Old Dog Fang is a real pervert. But don’t be scared; you’re a new student, so it doesn’t matter if you do poorly. Old Dog Fang will show mercy…”
“When did I ever say I was scared?” Qin Fengyue corrected.
Bai Xue gave her a “stop pretending” look. “If you do poorly and don’t meet Old Dog Fang’s expectations, it’s a minimum of three laps of physical training on the track.”
“Do you know what ‘three laps of training’ means?” The person sitting to Qin Fengyue’s right chimed in, looking sickly. “I underperformed once. Old Dog Fang watched me use every piece of equipment on the field. For the next week, I had to walk with my legs squeezed together like a shy bride.”
He never wanted to experience that again! “You know what a circumcision surgery feels like, right?”
Qin Fengyue didn’t know that specific feeling, but she knew Chu Yang had been stuck in bed for three days after his. She subconsciously swallowed.
Bai Xue said, “With two thousand Omega girlfriends, would you even have the mind to study?”
“What about the ‘expected value’?” Qin Fengyue was too tired to correct the “two thousand” thing anymore.
Bai Xue: “It’s Schrödinger’s expectation. There’s no fixed standard or score. So every exam week, everyone treats Jiang Zhao like an ancestor. Don’t provoke her!”
Qin Fengyue was even more puzzled. “What does it have to do with Jiang Zhao?”
Bai Xue: “Forgot to tell you. Jiang Zhao is Chen Fang’s class representative. Objective laws don’t change based on human will, but Old Dog Fang’s standards will change based on a single word from Jiang Zhao…”
Just as she said that, Qin Fengyue looked up. She saw Jiang Zhao, who had skipped two periods of self-study, walking boldly through the classroom door.
Jiang Zhao smiled. “Perform well, Student Qin.”
Qin Fengyue: “…F—.”
