There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 103

Ye Zhizhou stayed in the lounge for a very long time, so long that the staff member couldn't help running out to worriedly check on him. When they became aware that his spiritual power was actually even more unstable than before, the staff member's expression became more solemn and they took out a communication device, ready to call the school doctor over.

"Hold on." Ye Zhizhou hurriedly got up to stop them and quickly slowed the pace of his leaking spiritual power. He said with an embarrassed face, "My spiritual power is already stable, it just became like this because I checked the admission scores…"

The spiritual power that was loitering to and fro around the room rapidly decreased. The staff member put down the communication device and suspiciously looked at him. "Your spiritual power…" The ease and speed of control of the spiritual power didn't seem like an A-rank at all.

"Actually, I want to retest my aptitude…" He pretended to look hesitant, and whispered, "My previous aptitude wasn't A-rank…" This was true, because the original owner's spiritual power level was only B-rank, rising to a rank to A-rank was a recent thing.

He was deliberately vague, but that made the staff member decisively misunderstand him, and they quickly comforted him. "It's true that if you're in a bad state, the aptitude test result may be lower than your actual aptitude. Don't be nervous and keep your spiritual power relaxed. There will be aptitude retesting after the last batch of students finishes their tests; I'll arrange it for you."

“Thank you!” Ye Zhizhou happily held the staff member's hand with no psychological burden, and acted obedient at the right moment. "Jiejie, you're seriously the best!"

The staff member, who was already at the age of being a parent, was dazzled by his smile and became more gentle. They took the initiative to help him register for a retest number and some other basic information.

After seeing the enthusiastic staff member off, Ye Zhizhou rubbed his face that was stiff from constantly smiling and sat back down on the chair. He took out a family picture from his space ring, looked at it and sighed. The body's original owner's home was on a medium-sized star, which was a three day trip from the imperial capital star. Their parents were both betas and they had a sickly omega older sibling. The reason why the original owner had insisted on studying mecha manufacturing, even though they had no talent, was because of this omega sibling, Aldo.

Aldo was very beautiful, had a super high S-rank spiritual power, but their body was too weak. It was so weak that they would get seriously ill every month after taking the necessary inhibitors.

When the original owner was 18 years old, the doctor gave Aldo a death notice—three years at most. They could only live for three more years. Aldo's family was so devastated that they also felt like dying, but Aldo felt relieved. Aldo said that they hoped to be an ordinary beta in the next life, so they could operate their dream mecha. The original owner cried a lot, and then vowed in their heart to create this mecha for their sibling, one that even an omega could operate—To make their sibling's wish come true!

Ye Zhizhou couldn't help sighing again. The original owner's heart was good, but their brain was not—make what kind of mecha? The most important thing was to find a way to cure their sibling's condition! Also, with how untalented the original owner was in mecha manufacturing, along with how difficult it was to create a mecha… Three years wasn't enough. Even if Pansy did finally make one, with Aldo's condition, how could they even operate it?

Therefore, what was the point in learning mecha manufacturing?! Studying genetic research was better! The ABO gendering system was obviously because of a defect in the human gene, so it resulted in this! Especially alphas and omegas—pheromones and heats, these things were definitely a problem!

Why were omegas generally weak? Why could alphas mark omegas? How could they communicate with each other using spiritual power after marking? What was the basis of this connection? What was the relationship between these two genes?

He felt the itch to move his hands, and that researcher’s heart that he had been suppressing for years began to stir. That year when he was studying a genetic modification solution in a research lab, which professor didn't praise him? Which project team didn't want him? And, which senior or junior lab member didn't want to beat him? In short, if it hadn’t been for that damn accident, his x2 genetic modification solution would've long been developed. And when the time came, it would've been distributed to all welfare institutions and orphanages, which wouldn't only strengthen their health but also stimulate their potential. Wouldn't that have been amazing!

The staff member came back in with the retest number card and was shocked again by the spiritual power that was spilling in the room. "Your spiritual power should be S-rank, right?"

He quickly collected his thoughts and closed the small theatre showing the peak of his past life. He gathered his spiritual power and vaguely replied, "I think so. I think I went up a rank recently, but I haven't had the time to get it tested."

Recently went up a rank? The staff member's gaze suddenly changed, and their attitude became increasingly gentle as they stood to the side while saying, "The retests have started. I have arranged for you to be in the first batch. Please follow me."

Ye Zhizhou hurriedly thanked them and followed them out.

?Constitution Rank: B. Spiritual Power Rank: SS. Test completed. Please remove the device after confirming spiritual power is stable.?

Ye Zhizhou emerged from the aptitude test, shyly smiling at the shocked Professor Mahr. He said, "Ah… Sorry for the trouble. I wasn't in a good state during the last test…"

“Stability and control are both excellent…” Professor Mahr flipped through his test results, excited and gratified. “Fortunately, you retested, otherwise I would've held up such a good seedling as you. The mecha manufacturing major is very suitable for you. Congratulations on your enrollment.”

“Thank you, Professor.” Ye Zhizhou politely thanked them, and after a pause, he continued, “Actually, I would like to register for a genetic research major as well. Would it be possible for me to be in two departments and do a double major?”

Professor Mahr, who was just about to call a staff member over to help him with the registration papers, froze and asked, "What did you say you wanted to register for as well?"

“Genetic research.”

The hall became silent, and the professors behind the long table all looked at him with eyes as though he was a monster.

Unlike the popular mecha and mecha manufacturing majors, the genetic research major was very unpopular due to its long course length and its difficulty to learn. All the other students graduate in four years, but it takes seven or more years for the genetic research students to graduate. The seven-year program included three years of basic medicine and biology, one year of hospital practice, and three years of basic genetic research knowledge. And, even after learning all of this, they're still just beginners. After finishing these seven years, they will continue with one-on-one teaching from a professor in the field. Only when the professor feels like they've met the requirements, will they actually graduate. Most of the students who apply for the genetic research major die in the first three years because they have to complete what would normally be a six-year course for general medical and biology students in just three years.

Yet right now, Ye Zhizhou was actually requesting to double major in the hard as hell genetic research major and the already difficult mecha manufacturing major… Such big intentions, all the professors were losing their heads.

"You know, Pansy…" Professor Mahr regained their composure and couldn't help carefully looking at Ye Zhizhou's data again. After thinking about it for a while, they said, "For the genetic research major, our school generally recruits already enrolled students who are in our medical or biology departments, who have the basic foundations. In your case… The mecha manufacturing major is also very good. Why don't you take some time to think about double majoring?"

"I heard that there will be a make-up entrance examination for the genetic research major after school starts. I want to take it." Ye Zhizhou, who had used Tongtian to check the situation in advance, directly asked and lowered his eyes and voice, "To be honest with you Professor, I applied for the genetic research major for my omega sibling. Their body is very weak. I want to learn more things that could help them… Professor, I want to try. Please give me a chance." Most importantly, Professor Belle, Master Brenda's long-standing rival, who hated the protagonist the most, was a genetic research specialist. The faction that had the power to expel the protagonist, he must get to know them!

His gaze was extremely sincere, and the spiritual power that he emitted was filled with earnestness and dedication. Professor Mahr was a little moved, sighed, and called for a staff member. "Give this student Pansy a make-up entrance examination permit for the genetic research major."

Ye Zhizhou was extremely happy when he heard these words. He quickly and gratefully bowed to the professor and happily followed the staff member away.

It took an hour to receive his examination permit and finish the enrollment procedures. He took the new dormitory key and recalled the plot while he walked to his new dorm room, room 233 in building B. Both the protagonist and the twins were locals of the imperial capital star, so they had arrived earlier. Around this time, they should be having dinner outside… It was convenient that they weren't in the dormitory, so he had time to check out the situation.

The first room after entering the dormitory was the living room. There were two rooms on both sides of the living room. The twins lived in the two rooms on the left, while he and the protagonist were in the two rooms on the right. He turned on the system's scanning function, carefully scanned the whole dorm, but found nothing.

How could this be possible… He frowned, sat on the living room sofa and rubbed his chin.

When an omega turned 16, they would begin to have heats. Before they turned 20, they would have heats once every three months. After they turned 20, it became once a month. The protagonist was 18 years old, so they should have a heat every 3 months. The Royal Military Academy's semesters were four months long, during which the students weren't allowed to come and go at will. It was impossible for the protagonist to come to the school without inhibitors, but he had just scanned the protagonist's luggage and found nothing. In the original plot, the protagonist was an orphan, they were very poor and didn't have a storage device like a space ring on their body. The inhibitors needed to be stored in a special device, so it was impossible to carry them directly in a pocket… Was the plot already falling apart at this point?

[Asking host to please trust the system.]

He poked at the little mirror, turned off the light screen, and continued thinking. Assuming the plot information had no problems, then why did the protagonist not bring any inhibitors? The freshman's training started tomorrow. After the training, there was only half a day off. Classes would begin on the second day… Was the protagonist going to use the half-day off after the freshman training to go out to buy it? But buying inhibitors requires identification. The original plot had said that the protagonist anonymously purchased the inhibitors on the black market while they were out on their part-time job… Wait! Going out for a part-time job? When Ye Zhizhou was registering earlier, the staff member seemed to have mentioned that the military school students weren't allowed to work part-time outside of the school?

Afraid that he might just be remembering it wrong, Ye Zhizhou quickly took out the brochure that the school had just handed out from his space and turned to the important notice sections to look for it, line by line. He was dumbstruck. It really was there! Military school students weren't allowed to work part-time outside the school, except during summer and winter vacation!

So, how did the protagonist go to the mecha component factory every weekend to make money? Military students going in and out of the school must register their names, and during their time of enrollment in the school, all the information of their activities off-campus would be synched to the school system. It was impossible to secretly work part-time off-campus with the school breathing down their neck unless they used a fake identity! More importantly, there were all kinds of part-time jobs for students within the school, most of which were related to mecha manufacturing. Why would the protagonist want to work so far away from school? For money? But military students received monthly allowances, therefore there wouldn't be problems with not enough living expenses.

As if he had found a ball of yarn's starting point, Ye Zhizhou's brain began to run at full speed, crazily unraveling the yarn.

Suddenly, Ye Zhizhou heard the sound of the door unlocking and looked up to see two pretty youths with very similar wildly smiling faces coming in one after another, followed by a young student with a helpless expression on their face.

[Scan completed. Three targets scanned. Gender: Male. This world's gender: Alpha. Healthy body, no hidden illnesses. Applicable pill: None.]

The system's scanning function that was still on, automatically scanned the three people entering the dorm, and diligently displayed the results in front of Ye Zhizhou. He looked at the light screen that popped up in front of him and tried really hard to keep a straight face, to not show his surprise.

Three people. This world's gender was alpha! All three were alphas? Wasn't the protagonist listed as a beta while really being an omega?

The author has something to say:

Thank you Arriving in Dark Clouds for the mine! Love you so much = 3=

PS: It didn't grow fat, it actually shrunk QvQ

PS: Little Angels are so good at guessing the plot. I chose to go away, so my typing speed also went away ?Big mistake!

Divi: SOOOOO, since the system scanned Eddie, Chigita, and Anuot as males, we will be using he/him for them! If the system scans them in the future and specifies the non-abo world gender we will switch! For now, you get some he and they.

Mina: Plot twist coming up! Is protag actually an Alpha?? or is he a Beta or Omega?
