The Silly Prince Successfully Cancels the Engagement, But the Fiancée is His Childhood Sweetheart - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Smart Guide

Ye Sheng’s assessment was also very fast, his mental strength was S+, and his final combat evaluation was S-rank.

Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

After registering their assessment results, the two prepared to apply for their Smart Guides.

The Smart Guide is an essential auxiliary tool for every student at the National Defense Military Academy. It must be remembered that every lesson, every exam, every competition, and every mission at the Military Academy is closely related to war.

In other words, if war truly broke out, every student at the National Defense Military Academy would be duty-bound to go to the battlefield.

In such times, the Smart Guide can play a huge role. Battle conditions change instantly, and the Smart Guide can provide a vast amount of information. Based on its enormous database, it can analyze countless possibilities, offering accurate predictions and crucial point reminders. Even outside the battlefield, the Smart Guide can assist with daily studies and life, including scheduling reminders and simulation training, which are minor tasks for it.

However, Smart Guides also have a grade division: S, A, B, and C. The higher the rank, the greater its function, the larger its information search authority, and the more accurate the data and predictions it can analyze and provide. However, only those whose mental strength reaches the S-rank are qualified to use an S-rank Smart Guide.

The eligibility to use a Smart Guide requires the same level or a higher level of mental strength.

Both Bai Qing and Ye Sheng were, naturally, aiming for the S-rank Smart Guide.

For some unknown reason, the supply of S-rank Smart Guides is insufficient every year. To get an S-rank Smart Guide, you have to compete for it. In previous years, there have been numerous cases of students stealing others’ Smart Guides because they didn’t get the one they wanted.

Ye Sheng pulled Bai Qing and quickly rushed into the Student Services Center lobby. Ye Sheng, annoyed by Bai Qing’s slow movement, quickly swiped both their cards, registered their information, and the teacher responsible for Smart Guide distribution, who looked very kind, said with a smile: “You two have arrived just in time. We have exactly the last two S-rank Smart Guides remaining.”

Ye Sheng immediately gave a “victory” pose.

Smart Guides are externally shaped like small animals. The two remaining S-rank guides placed before them were a fluffy Emperor Penguin chick and a cute, big-eyed Slow Loris.

Bai Qing didn’t even look, simply taking the small Emperor Penguin chick nearest to him.

Ye Sheng and the big-eyed Slow Loris in front of him stared at each other for a long time. Ye Sheng finally reconciled with himself and took the little monkey.

After completing all the enrollment procedures, the two were planning to stroll around the campus before heading home.

At this moment, Bai Qing suddenly said coldly: “It seems you’ve finally found a kindred spirit who, like you, dislikes parallel lines.”

Ye Sheng was momentarily confused: “Huh?”

Bai Qing glanced at Ye Sheng’s Smart Guide, the little monkey: “Because parallel lines never intersect.”

Ye Sheng: “…”

Damn it, Bai Qing’s expression was still completely straight.

Ye Sheng wore an expression that was trying to smile but couldn’t, a weird mix of wanting to laugh and holding it back: “I beg you, please stop telling sudden bad jokes, okay?”

Bai Qing again responded with a very stingy, pixel-sized smile.

As they were walking, they suddenly felt two extremely potent Alpha pheromones released ahead of them.

A rough feeling indicated two Alphas. One even reached the SS-rank, and the other was S-rank, which Ye Sheng could handle.

Ye Sheng’s face turned pale. The pheromone suppression was almost making it impossible for him to breathe.

Among Alphas, there is a strict hierarchy. An S-rank combat Alpha is absolutely incapable of resisting the pheromones released by an SS-rank combat Alpha. This is even more true for other genders.

Bai Qing’s expression beside him was even worse. The intense pheromone suppression caused every cell in his body to become uncontrollably agitated.

Omegas are naturally unable to resist Alphas.

Ye Sheng managed to ask, distracted: “How are you?”

Bai Qing gritted his teeth: “I’m fine, look ahead.”

An extremely arrogant voice came from the front: “Still worried about others? Worry about yourself first!”

Bai Qing looked at him coldly: “Willfully releasing pheromones without reason is a violation of Imperial law.”

This SS-rank Alpha had noticeable red hair. Seeing that Bai Qing and Ye Sheng were completely defenseless under his pheromone suppression, he became even more arrogant: “Law? What is that?”

The S-rank brown-haired Alpha beside him echoed: “The law is something only the weak need to use. It looks like you two spend a lot of time talking about the law, eh?”

Ye Sheng took on most of the pheromone suppression for Bai Qing and released a small amount of his own pheromones to enclose Bai Qing, creating a small, cleaner space for him.

But he was struggling greatly, clearly about to collapse.

Bai Qing quietly squeezed Ye Sheng’s arm. He had a plan.

Tucked in his sleeve was a mechanical dagger for self-defense, disassembled from his light armor. He always carried it with him. Now, he just needed to wait for the right moment to counterattack.

The Red-Haired Alpha’s patience ran out: “I didn’t come here today to deliberately make trouble for you. As long as you swap your Smart Guides with ours, this young master will pretend today never happened. Otherwise—”

The Red-Haired Alpha deliberately drew out the end of his sentence.

Unfortunately, before the tail end of the sentence completely dropped, a low, deep voice suddenly came from behind: “Otherwise, you’ll give them a very ugly death?”

Following the voice was another extremely overbearing and potent pheromone. The spicy scent of strong liquor abruptly pierced everyone’s nostrils. The two initially arrogant Red-Haired Alpha and Brown-Haired Alpha were hit head-on by this pheromone. Their legs instantly gave out, and they nearly collapsed onto the ground.

The pheromones that had been coiling around Ye Sheng and Bai Qing like snakes immediately vanished.

From the shade behind them, a tall figure slowly walked out.

He took slow steps, and as he approached, the sense of oppression grew heavier and heavier.

The Brown-Haired Alpha and Red-Haired Alpha were trembling uncontrollably, their faces pale with fear.

The hierarchy among Alphas is strict, and there is absolutely no possibility of resisting a higher rank—this is the cruelty among Alphas.

“Surrendering before the battle even begins? Stand up for me!”

The roaring shout drilled into everyone’s eardrums, accompanied by an even denser liquor pheromone. The pheromone suppression paralyzed the two Alphas, rendering them unable to move. They were terrified and wanted very much to obey and stand up, but the liquor pheromone gave them no chance.

The two Alphas were so weak-legged that they slumped onto the ground, a puddle of mud, wanting to speak but weeping instead: “Please let us stand up…”

Ye Sheng widened his eyes: “Xiang… Xiang…”

Xiang Zhuo swept a cold glance at Ye Sheng, then his eyes subtly shifted to the two fallen Alphas: “Get lost.”

Ye Sheng nearly knelt down himself.

“Remember this: If there’s a next time, the battlefield doesn’t need incompetent soldiers, and the Empire doesn’t need citizens who bully the weak and flatter the strong.”

As the words fell, the pheromones exploded like a roaring beast, then retreated and went dormant like a vast tide returning to the shoreline. The faces of the two Alphas were deathly white, completely stripped of their initial arrogance.

While speaking, Xiang Zhuo’s eyes were fixed on Bai Qing, displaying his authority and power, which was both a demonstration and a challenge.

The two Alphas meekly apologized and scrambled away.

Ye Sheng nodded to Xiang Zhuo from afar, quietly pulled Bai Qing, and tried to slip away.

Xiang Zhuo called out to them: “You two, don’t go.”

Bai Qing met Xiang Zhuo’s gaze, watching him walk closer step by step.

Xiang Zhuo’s conditions were indeed extremely superior. Black hair and black eyes, an uncommonly handsome face. His royal etiquette training made his demeanor composed and his presence overwhelming.

When he was stared at, Bai Qing felt momentarily as if his throat had been constricted.

It was like a huge boulder pressing against his chest.

Xiang Zhuo’s eyes seemed to hold him, yet also seemed to be looking past him.

Bai Qing tightened his grip on the dagger in his sleeve. Facing such an arrogant opponent, he calmly analyzed the other’s motives.

If the opponent wanted a duel or a fight with him, without a mecha, his chances of winning were zero.

A metallic taste of blood slowly filled Bai Qing’s mouth, and his heart pounded fiercely—thump—thump—thump—

Just as Xiang Zhuo reached face-to-face distance with him, Bai Qing’s lips subtly moved, and the word “Thank you” was about to leave his mouth—

Xiang Zhuo didn’t even look at him, walking directly past him.

He stopped in front of Ye Sheng, who was behind Bai Qing.

“I hope you know, I didn’t save you today because we are engaged. It was purely because my nap was interrupted.”

“…” A rare crack appeared on Bai Qing’s otherwise calm face.

“I don’t know why you, an Omega, enrolled in the Military Academy; your courage is commendable. But you must also know that this is not a reason for you to casually hold hands with other Alphas. You are an Omega, you should at least have some gender awareness.”

Ye Sheng looked utterly confused: “…? I’m an Alpha…”

Xiang Zhuo coldly interrupted him: “And of course, don’t flatter yourself by thinking I’m jealous. I have already submitted an application to His Majesty the King. I will break off the engagement with you sooner or later.”

Ye Sheng: “…”
