The Ultra-Alpha School Hunk Has Transmigrated into a Cannon Fodder Omega! - Chapter 14

Since the incident with Liu Qi, the entire learning atmosphere of Class 10 had transformed. Although Ji Cenzhou was the only one who had officially made the bet, the students at the bottom of the rankings began to study with a vengeance. Liu Qi’s words had cut them deeply. They wanted to use their grades to prove to those who cared about them that they were absolutely not “social trash.”

Because Ji Cenzhou insisted on studying independently, the Academic Representative had been ignored for two full days. Finally unable to help himself, the Representative—unwilling to disturb Ji Cenzhou while he was focused—resorted to “casually” walking past his desk multiple times, hoping to be noticed. Every time he saw Ji Cenzhou frown at a book, the Representative grew excited, practically wanting to shout, “Ask me! I know this one!” Whenever Ji Cenzhou’s expression cleared and he moved to the next problem, the Representative would sink into dejection.

On his fifth “accidental” pass, Ji Cenzhou finally called him over. “Representative, do you know how to solve this?”

The Academic Representative nearly moved to tears. He looked at the problem with excitement, only to fall into a heavy silence. He stared at the question for three full minutes before finally admitting defeat. “This one is a bit tough. I actually don’t know it. Why don’t you go ask Brother Jiang?”

Ji Cenzhou took the problem to Jiang Mosen. “Jiang Mosen, help me look at this. Why is there an extra square in the answer for this problem?”

As Ji Cenzhou leaned over, frowning in frustration, Jiang Mosen watched him from his peripheral vision. Under the sunlight, Ji Cenzhou’s fair earlobes appeared almost translucent, revealing tiny, soft hairs. The lines of his neck were straight and smooth, leading down to a collarbone partially hidden by his shirt.

Jiang Mosen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He pulled his gaze back to the paper. “You used the wrong condition here. It should be applied like this.”

Ji Cenzhou had a sudden realization. He gave Jiang Mosen a generous thumbs-up. “Brother Jiang, you are awesome.”

Jiang Mosen smiled. “The whole class is counting on you to get us a new physics teacher.”

Ji Cenzhou, never one for modesty, patted his chest. “Leave it to me. I will definitely get everyone a top-tier physics teacher.”

Jiang Mosen dazed for a moment. In that confident, flamboyant gesture, he seemed to see a shadow of someone else.

The entire class’s attention was fixed on Ji Cenzhou. They were relieved when he asked questions, but they grew nervous when he sat silently studying. Because he refused direct tutoring, students began printing their own notes and piling them on his desk. The lower-ranking students, anxious to help, started “feeding” him with various snacks and drinks.

Looking at the assortment of pastries on his desk, Ji Cenzhou’s lips twitched. Though he maintained his “cool boy” exterior, he was actually quite happy; he had a secret weakness for sweets. He used to hide this at home, only secretly noting the names of bakeries he liked so he could have the housekeeper buy them later.

While the top students were frustrated they couldn’t help Ji Cenzhou more, they found an outlet in Wang Hao and other struggling students. However, Wang Hao’s questions were often as hilarious as they were headache-inducing.

Once, the Chemistry Representative pointed at Wang Hao’s paper, laughing. “The question asks for the functions of the long and short tubes in a ‘multi-purpose bottle.’ You answered: ‘One is for the milk foam and one is for the pearls.’ Are you trying to kill the teacher with anger?”

Wang Hao felt wronged. “How should I know what that anti-human bottle is for? Do you know how long I spent thinking of that answer?”

Despite the frustration, the representative patiently explained the correct science. Even the teachers of other subjects noticed the intense atmosphere and went to ask Xu Lei for his secret. Xu Lei, equally puzzled, simply shook his head. “The children have their own ideas now. We no longer know what they are thinking.”

The week passed quickly. On Friday, Ji Cenzhou went home for the weekend. After dinner, he dived straight into his studies. When Mother Ji brought him a fruit plate, she reminded him, “Don’t forget to go to the hospital on Saturday morning to pick up your physical exam results.”

Ji Cenzhou remembered that the original owner had gone for a check-up two weeks prior. For the first three years after differentiation, every Omega receives a free annual exam to ensure their pheromone levels are normal and healthy.

On Saturday morning at the hospital, the nurse’s expression turned somber after typing his name into the system. “Wait here. I will take you to see the doctor in a moment.”

Inside the office, the doctor looked at him gravely. “After reviewing your records, I suspect you have a rare condition: Pheromone Deficiency Syndrome.”

“What kind of condition is that?” Ji Cenzhou frowned.

“It is rare and not well-researched. There is currently no permanent cure,” the doctor explained. “Patients are usually Omegas who lose their typical heat cycles. Symptoms vary; some have none, while others suffer from severe hallucinations.”

“Hallucinations?”

“Yes. I once treated a patient who felt like they were in fire one moment and ice the next, accompanied by overwhelming negative emotions. It can be quite unbearable.”

Ji Cenzhou asked how long the episodes lasted. The doctor replied that they typically lasted for the duration of what would have been the heat cycle. When Ji Cenzhou asked if he had to live like this forever, the doctor looked at him with pity.

“There is a way to alleviate it. By injecting Alpha pheromones to neutralize the turbulent Omega pheromones in your body, the symptoms can be lessened or even disappear. However, you would need an injection every month.”

Ji Cenzhou’s brow furrowed. “Is a temporary mark the only way to get Alpha pheromones into the system?” He had no desire to be marked by anyone.

“You can also use synthetic Alpha pheromones,” the doctor noted.

Ji Cenzhou’s eyes lit up. “Please prescribe me the synthetic version.”

The doctor hesitated. “We have it, but it is very expensive.”

When the doctor named the price, Ji Cenzhou fell silent. Based on his hourly wage at the bar, he would have to work an entire month just to afford a single dose. If he spent all his money on this, he wouldn’t be able to save anything for Mother Ji’s medical treatments.

“You could choose to let an Alpha give you a temporary mark,” the doctor suggested. “Do you have an Alpha you like?”

“No,” Ji Cenzhou replied bluntly. “I like Omegas.”

The doctor was stunned by the Omega’s boldness but quickly recovered. “Ah, well, love is free these days.”

“Can I just endure the heat cycle?” Ji Cenzhou asked.

The doctor nodded. “It is extremely painful, but you can endure it. However, I strongly advise against being alone. The negative emotions can be strong enough to induce suicidal thoughts.”

Ji Cenzhou realized the severity of the situation. He couldn’t let Mother Ji know about this given their financial struggles. But if he didn’t tell her, where could he go to hide during his “heat”? He calculated that his next cycle was less than a week away.

“How do you plan to spend this heat cycle?” the doctor asked.

Ji Cenzhou thought seriously for a moment. “I’ll just endure it.”
