Chapter 40 - Ellen Academy (I)

Xi Wei and Aiden sat together on the sofa in the hovercar. The view outside the windows quickly changed from showing the bustling cityscape of the capital planet to the boundless ocean of outer space. The Royal Guard had left the capital planet, and was on its way to the Andromeda galaxy.

The Andromeda galaxy wasn’t far from the Cepheus solar system. They only had to leap once through hyperspace to get there. In the afternoon, Xi Wei and Aiden smoothly arrived at their destination, the planet Loga of the Andromeda Galaxy. The scenery here was completely different from the concrete jungles of the capital planet, and their congested, intercrossing midair highways. Here, there was a feeling of seclusion, and the streets were sparse with cars and pedestrians. They saw Ellen Academy’s red skyscrapers up ahead, the most iconic landmarks in all of Loga.

Since alphas couldn’t enter the school, Craig could only drop the two boys off at a safe area outside the school gate. He said quietly, “I’ll have some beta guards take you in. I’ll wait outside. After you register and check into your dorm rooms, send me a message.”

Xi Wei said, “General, you don’t need to wait, you can just go back. We won’t have any problems registering. The school will send robots to take us through the process.”

Just as he was saying this, a little robot with a cute design came out to greet them. It turned its head and scanned the two boys’ pupils. “Xi Wei and Aiden, welcome to Ellen Academy. The registration area for new students is this way, please follow me.”

As it said this, it turned and started towards the school.

Aiden was silent for a moment, then turned his head and said seriously: “I’m going to go register, you should head back.”

Craig went over to him and said gently, “Take care of yourself at school. If anybody dares to bully you, just contact me through the smartwatch I gave you.”

Aiden couldn’t help but smile. “Okay, I know.”

Parents always worried that their kids would be bullied at school, but actually, Aiden and Xi Wei had already grown up and were well able to protect themselves. And at an all-omega school, they trusted they wouldn’t meet the likes of Joen, who had stirred up trouble for them back at St. Paul Academy.

After a pause, Aiden said seriously: “About my dad...I’ll have to ask you to watch over him.”

His son had actually entrusted Craig with his dad’s care. It seemed that he wasn’t at ease leaving his impulsive, nouveau riche dad to his own devices. Seeing his son’s serious gaze, Craig felt his heart soften. He reached out and stroked his hair, saying, “Rest assured, I’ll protect him well.”

At this, Aiden nodded, then turned and followed Xi Wei into the school.

Not until the two boys’ silhouettes disappeared from his line of sight did Craig take the Royal Guard and turn for home.

Xi Wei and Aiden followed the little robot to the registration area, which was crowded with omega students. The girls wore their hair long, had vivid big eyes, and fair, tender skin. The boys were also delicate of feature, and looked good-natured. Everyone seemed to be getting along well, chatting as they lined up to undergo the physical exam. Xi Wei looked around the room, and couldn’t help but heave a sigh in his heart: Sure enough, he still liked omegas the best! The omega girls here were all so beautiful, it would be great if he could take one of them home for a wife.

If Klaire knew what Xi Wei was thinking, he’d probably want to cry.

He was only thinking it, though. He couldn’t say something like that out loud. If he told his father he wanted to marry an omega girl, his father would probably die of a heart attack.
