Chapter 41 - Ellen Academy

When he woke up the next morning, Xi Wei only felt that his mind was refreshed. He touched the blue crystal necklace at his throat, but it didn’t feel any different from usual. Maybe it was just that he had been dreaming about what he did before falling asleep? Last night he had spent a long time sparring with Klaire at the battle arena, so maybe that was why he dreamed that he received a high-grade mecha AI?

XI Wei scratched the back of his head. He thought it was probably just a dream, and didn’t pay it any more attention. He went and ate breakfast with Aiden, and then they walked to the classroom together.

Ellen Academy had already started for a week. As on the first day, every day Mr. Ivan smiled and put on various movies for the class, lecturing on pheromones, heat, marking and how they were interrelated. Xi Wei followed Klaire’s advice. Every time Mr. Ivan came to teach health class, Xi Wei would sit in the back row, open up his computer, put in ear plugs, and mind his own business. He’d read books or watch movies to pass the time.

Aiden took the opposite approach. He paid attention to the teacher and took notes.

Xi Wei couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing, listening so seriously?”

Aiden smiled and said, “Of course we have to be clear about the matters of our own bodies. Otherwise, what are we going to do if the night of our marking arrives and we don’t know a thing? Not to mention, there are some alphas who don’t study properly in health class. When the time comes for them to mark an omega, the omega has to do the guiding, or the marking will end in failure.”

Xi Wei: “...”

He probably should be studying properly in health class, but the thing was, Xi Wei had simply never thought about getting marked by some alpha. He felt that this practice of marking was even more tortuous than being stabbed to death. At least with a knife, it would enter for a moment and then the pain would be over, whereas with marking, you had to get tossed about for three days and three nights before it ended. Just imagining it, Xi Wei thought that he’d rather die.

Faced with Aiden’s serious eyes, Xi Wei could only throw his hands in the air and say, “Alright alright, you go ahead and study. I won’t bother you.”

Having said that, he bent his head and continued watching his movie.

Mr. Ivan saw the black-haired head in the corner, looking down at something under the desk, and he couldn’t help but smile. He said, “Xi Wei, come answer this question.”

The instructive light on his desk lit up. Aiden lightly nudged him. Xi Wei, who had been called on, could only put down his computer, stand up and say, “Here, teacher.”

Ivan said, “List the specific characteristics of omega pheromones.”

Xi Wei: “...”

He hadn’t paid attention to this topic at all, let alone its specific characteristics.

Fortunately, Aiden helped him out by secretly opening the corresponding chapter for him on the computer. Xi Wei read aloud from the textbook, “The levels of omega pheromones present in the body will directly affect the timing of the heat. An adult omega’s pheromones are usually at a level of about 7.0. When the level rises above 9.0, they will officially enter heat.”

Ivan continued to ask, “Before the level rises to 9.0, is there any way to prevent it from doing so?”

Xi Wei scratched his head. “Uh…”

Aiden continued to be a helpful little angel, and pulled up the page on the e-textbook, pointing where he should look.

Xi Wei continued to read, “Before the heat comes, one can use a temporary mark to prevent its arrival.”
