01 The virtual command competition was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The sun's light was intense yet gentle, radiating joy on this day of celebration throughout the empire.
The Double Nine Star System, the main star, and the comprehensive military university.
To celebrate humanity's journey into interstellar space, its victory over the star beasts, and the establishment of its own empire, the various departments of the Comprehensive Military University hold lively events every year on Liberation Day.
The Control Academy, an institution that trains military commanders, is hosting a virtual command competition in its first venue.
During lunchtime, not many people came to register. The two Alphas guarding the registration point chatted idly while browsing the campus network.
"This year, the socialite class has 500 new Omega students. I heard that several of them come from top-tier families. Marrying one of them would save you a hundred years of hard work."
"With your cowardly appearance, you still want to marry into a prestigious family? As for me, someone like the beautiful Ruan will do. He'll definitely be number one in this socialite beauty pageant."
"Get lost. Even if Ruan is an orphan, with her perfect match for Young Master Mu, she's definitely a worthy wife of a wealthy family. Besides, her looks are the most beautiful in the military academy! I heard that on the first day of school, the eldest and second young masters of the Xiang family got into a fight over pursuing her."
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" The Alpha, who hadn't gotten a chance to speak to his companion, finally looked up from the beautiful photos of Omegas on the campus network and saw the central figure in their conversation—Ruan Mingchu.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do with my hands and feet.
Her short, silvery-white hair shimmered in the gentle sunlight, and her delicate, smiling peach blossom eyes were full of affection. Just looking at her like that made one's pheromones feel like they were about to burst forth.
The impact of a real person is far greater than that of a photograph.
The two Alphas thought they had seen all the beautiful Omegas who entered the school in the past two years, but they had never felt as shocked as when they saw Ruan Mingchu.
"Hello." After being forced to become an Omega, Ruan Mingchu had gotten used to the sight of these Alphas, whose heads were full of nonsense, being stunned in the past month. If he didn't say something to remind them, they might still be immersed in his "beauty" tomorrow.
"Hello, hello." The two Alphas greeted each other warmly, rubbing their hands together, wanting to hold the Omega's soft, fragrant hands, but afraid of being rejected.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" The Alpha who wanted to marry Ruan Mingchu was one step ahead and eagerly inquired about Ruan Mingchu's purpose.
If the beautiful Ruan wants to watch the virtual command competition, he's willing to skip work to accompany her!
Ruan Mingchu gave a faint smile: "I'm here to register for the Virtual Command Competition. Isn't this the registration point?"
It carried a subtle hint of sarcasm: "If people come to register but don't sign up, are they here to flirt with Alphas?"
The two Alphas didn't feel the mockery at all; instead, they were completely stunned by Ruan Mingchu's smile.
After a moment, the two realized what Ruan Mingchu had just said and immediately put on a worried mask.
Each person spoke in one sentence, fully expressing their lack of support for Nguyen Minh Thu's registration for the virtual competition.
"Although the command competition has the word 'virtual' in it, you can still get injured if you're not careful."
"Five years ago, Omega participated in a virtual competition out of curiosity. He spent two months in the hospital recovering and was left with irreversible trauma."
"Although the academy did not explicitly state the threshold for the virtual competition, forcibly extracting mental energy will cause brain damage."
“A hundred years ago, an Omega forcibly entered a virtual military network and became an idiot.”
"The academy didn't prepare any rescue plans for Omega participants; it's too dangerous."
"In the virtual world, the other side may not necessarily show any mercy."
...
No matter how much is said, the core issue is that Omega is too weak to participate in virtual tournaments.
Although disguised as well-intentioned, it is still blatant sexism.
Ruan Mingchu did not interrupt the two, listened quietly, and stubbornly insisted on his original purpose.
One Alpha tried to speak again but was interrupted by another. He took out an application form and a commitment letter for Ruan Mingchu to fill out, saying, "Just go in after you finish filling them out. Once you're inside, there's a sign with specific instructions."
After writing his thanks, Ruan Minhchu affixed the number plate to his chest and walked into the venue.
Behind them, the two Alphas whispered to each other. Although they thought they were being very quiet, Ruan Mingchu could hear them.
Why won't you let me speak?
"Haven't you heard about Ruan Da Meiren's gender dysphoria? She used to insist that she was an Alpha, thinking she was so great. We'll wait until she tries it and it doesn't work before we're satisfied, then we can rush over to comfort her. That's much better than stopping her now."
"Brilliant, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
"Haha~ You flatter me~"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mingchu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He really didn't have gender dysphoria; it was just that the equipment here wasn't advanced enough.
A month ago, he was ambushed on his way back from the Warren Empire and was seriously injured. Not only did his body shrink to the size of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, but his pheromones also became disordered.
His original height of 1.99 meters shrank to 1.75 meters, and his chiseled features became as soft as water. His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes also became affectionate.
After being stranded on the main star of the Double Nine Star System, he was rescued by the Omega Star Aid Association. Pheromones showed that he was an Omega, but he did not have an identity card to prove it. When Ruan Mingchu said that he was an Alpha, he was considered to be sick.
Moreover, before he could even speak, the Omega Star Assistance Association, taking into account the doctor's advice, immediately issued him a new identity card and sent him to a comprehensive military university.
The people pursuing him changed from Omega to Alpha.
Ruan Minh Thu, an outstanding graduate of the Command Department of the Imperial First Military Academy, thought he could do everything. However, the Crown Prince learned unfamiliar skills such as painting, singing, dancing, baking, and flower arranging in the Relaxation Department, which was specially set up for Omegas.
It really broadened my horizons.
It was worth the time.
While he was thinking, Ruan M
