Has the emperor been beaten today?

Chapter 1 Going to School

"So, if I agree to go to school with you, you will be responsible for all the expenses, is that right?" The thin beta opened his eyes wide and looked at the silver-haired elder in front of him: "I mean all four years tuition and living expenses.”

The chief vice-principal of Oric, the number one military academy in the empire, Mr. Sybill Bryan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded slightly: "Strictly speaking, it is the first two years, the third and fourth years you You will be assigned to a resident internship, and you can receive a stipend. If you think it is necessary, we can write this into the contract, as long as you agree to go to school. In addition, we have additional scholarships, as long as the grades are excellent , you can get a reward of at least [-] star coins every year."

Little Beta's eyes flickered, but he quickly hid his emotions: "I have another request."

"Please say."

"I wish my friends could go with me."

Kansan, the assistant who accompanied Mr. Sybil, let out a sneer, as if laughing at the country bumpkin from the distant star who opened his mouth to the lion.

Mr. Sybil coughed, reminding Kansan to pay attention to his manners, then glanced over the lens, looked at the pretendingly calm little Beta, and smiled: "If he can keep up with our teaching progress, Oric's gate is willing Open up for him."

Little Beta held the contract, opened the door, and gave a nondescript salute before leaving.

Seeing the door closing again, Kansang couldn't help but want to ask his boss, but hesitated to speak.

"You want to ask me why I agreed to his terms." Mr. Sybil took off his glasses and rubbed his sore nose.

"...you haven't even met the kid."

"Come on, I don't care at all whether his friend is a genius or an idiot. The only thing we have to do is get this little guy named Lebisi to Oric." Mr. Sybil nodded to the report card on the table, " It has been 50 years since Master Luda left this problem, and only he has solved it in the entire empire, a country boy from a distant star who has not studied seriously for a few days, what does it mean?"

Kansan lowered his head and had to admit: "He is a genius."

Sybil nodded: "Yes, he is a genius, and his grades are already posted on the star network. It is said that Horn Star is also ready to move. The Star Management Bureau used the interstellar procedures to hold them back and bought us time. , why should we hesitate?"

"Kansan, you have to remember that big things are achieved regardless of small details. As long as the goal can be achieved, we can make concessions when appropriate."

"Arnold, what do you think this is?" The little beta named Lebisi jumped up and down in front of a dilapidated house.

A young man was sitting on the half wall of the yard, with a cold expression on his pale face, anyone who looked into him with his dark eyes would shudder.

Before Little Beta came, Arnold was staring intently at the bakery at the entrance of the alley opposite. In half an hour, the owner of the bakery would throw the food that could not be sold today into the trash can next to it.And what he has to do is to rush over in the first place, so that he can grab enough food.

Hearing his companion's call, the boy lowered his head and rarely showed a smile: "What is this?"

Lebisi held the paper high, chronically malnourished, and his companion had mild night blindness.

The afterglow of the sun was still there, and Arnold could barely see what was written on the paper.

"Are you going to school?"

Libby nodded excitedly.

"Congratulations." Arnold said this sincerely, although he was a little reluctant.The population of Sola star is getting smaller and smaller, and the aging is also very serious. Experts on the star network once predicted that Sola will completely become a barren star within 100 years. Arnold thinks that it will not take 100 years, and the economy is backward. We are all poor, and sooner or later we will starve to death first.

Lebsi was smarter than him since he was a child. If the orphanage they lived in hadn't gone bankrupt, Lebsi would have been admitted to university.

"Look back." Lebisi smiled shyly, "They agree that you will go with me!"

Arnold and Lebisi returned to the dilapidated barren house. Arnold gave half of the bread he grabbed today to Lepisi, and then dug out an old transparent lunch box from under the old mattress, and took out the leftover bread from yesterday. , put it in your mouth, and put the new one in.

Lebisi broke off his own half and stuffed it into Arnold's lunch box: "I have these and that's enough."

A Nuo looked at him disapprovingly: "You should eat more, you are too thin."

Lebisi smiled, not noticing the wound at the corner of his mouth, and hissed in pain.

Arnold put down the bread in his hand, and checked his wound by the light.

"Billy, that idiot." Arnold took out an expired ointment from the broken cardboard box, carefully squeezed out a grain-sized ointment, and helped him apply it. "I'll beat you back tomorrow."

Billy was a few years older than them all, the strongest bum and bread snatcher in the area, and only Arnold could beat him.

"Arnold, come with me. The business of the bakery is getting worse and worse. It will close soon. Where will you go to find food by then?"

At the beginning when he went to participate in the quiz with prizes, he was fancying the prize money for winning, but he didn't expect that there would be a surprise now.

"They'll cover all the expenses, plus scholarships."

A Nuo lowered his head and fiddled with yesterday's leftover bread. The weather was so hot that the bread was a bit sour.

"But I don't know anything."

Lebisi grabbed his knees: "With me here, you will definitely be able to graduate. When you retire from the army, you will be able to find a job then, won't you? Ron said that his cousin is a retired soldier. Xing has a big manor." He gestured an exaggerated range with his hands.

A Nuo was amused by him: "Listen to him bragging, he is so poor that he is almost a pair of pants, if you know such a rich relative, why don't you go to him."

"Let's go together, okay, without you protecting me, I will definitely be bullied. Moreover, Sola has more than 300 unmarked omega, and the medical department distributes less than 100 inhibitors for free every year. Arnold, you It's coming next month, what about your estrus period?"

"They will provide free inhibitors?" Arnold asked back.

****

Mr. Sybil Bryan wiped his glasses: "Yes."

Lebisi bowed to him excitedly, and excitedly took Arnold to pack his luggage.

Kansan followed Sybil, the briefcase under her arm containing the contract Lepisi had just signed.The expensive all-handmade calfskin shoes step on the ruined land carefully, and you have to keep on guard against the malicious eyes around you.

Mr. Kansan was very busy, but he still took the time to ask: "Teacher, that child named A Nuo..."

Sybil glanced sideways at him.

Kansan lowered his voice: "He is an omega, and the command department has never recruited omega."

As the number one military academy in the empire, Oric's students are mainly alpha, and also recruit excellent beta and omega, but the mecha department and command department, which are the main combat force, have never recruited omega students.

"Just treat him as a family member of Sybil's classmate. Isn't it written in the admissions advertisement of the Central College? They are willing to help the family members of the students in need to solve the household registration and housing problems, and they can also help them find a job when necessary... We’ve also moved with the times.”

"Then if they break up in the future?"

Mr. Sybil smiled faintly: "Then we shouldn't worry any more. Mr. Leipzie will want to solve him more than we do."

"Young people's love is always so naive and self-righteous." Mr. Vice Principal's cloudy eyes seemed to stare at a certain place across time and space, "I liked our gardener's daughter when I was young, she was a lovely omega, Big eyes, here, there are naughty little freckles, my birthday wish that year was to marry her..."

When the wind picked up, he squeezed his neckline: "In the end, reality taught me to be a man."

***

"The idea of ​​avoiding a marriage match by serving as a soldier, I have to say, only you, Oakes, can come up with this idea." Alfred sat on the suitcase disfigured and panted heavily.

"What can I do, wait for them to slap me in the face with the result of marriage matching? Look at my third sister, her mother is still sitting on the queen's chair, why don't you send her out for a political marriage?" Malda The fifth planet', hehe, I don't even know where it is if you give me the map." The sixth prince of the empire, Okes Asilia, unbuttoned the top button of his clothes, grabbed his collar and fanned the wind, "let alone my kind What about the illegitimate child whose mother died... Besides, to be reasonable, serving soldiers enjoy the right to marriage autonomy and priority, which is written in the Supreme Law, and they deserve to be gagged."

Alfred held the field and slapped his hands, "Genius, how long until we arrive?"

Oakes looked at the optical brain on his wrist: "The positioning shows that there are less than 5 kilometers left."

Alfred groaned.

Okeys kicked his foot: "Who told me to make a free interstellar spaceship? I thought you were joking when you told me yesterday. There are no less than five ways to get from Capital Star to Oric , you chose the worst one."

"Who knew that the failure rate of the free starship is so high, next time you see your transport minister remember to spray me a few words."

Oakes squinted at him.

Alfred smiled flatteringly: "It's not my marshal father who specifically asked me to take free transportation to school in order to show his integrity and approachability." Alfred stood up and straightened his cuffs , "You don't know how much pocket money I have every month. If I hadn't played a few black boxing games with you this summer vacation, I would have needed you to pay for the lunch just now."

Oakes cursed in a low voice for being ill.

Alfred: "No, he really thought that my brothers and sisters grew up so big with these money. My eldest brother has a pair of cufflinks, which can cover my pocket money for two years. And Sophie's Slut, what did you say at dinner yesterday, "Al is in charge of food and housing at school, so you don't need pocket money?" Heh, back then, the spaceship of the military department sent my seventh brother to school, so why did you come to me? Do you have to take a free starship?" Sophie is the current wife of Alfred's father, an omega with nothing but looks and no brains.

Okes looked at the sun above his head, and dragged his good brother who was still cursing forward.

No one would have guessed that these two bereaved dogs were the youngest alpha prince in the empire and the son of Marshal Jonathan.
