On How The Male Scum Attack Can Rectify The Zerg Race Chapter 11
byEnrollment
On the day the Male Academy opened, the entrance to the academy was exceptionally lively.
In recent years, the number of Males had plummeted to a staggering ratio of 100:1. It was a situation where the demand far stripped the supply, and many Females had set their sights on the Male Academy.
The Male Academy occupied a vast area. Although only about a hundred Males enrolled each year, the academy’s grounds were actually twice the size of the neighboring Female Academy.
Of course, in addition to the Males from the Capital Star, outstanding or wealthy Males from other Zerg planets would also choose to come to the Male Academy on the Capital Star for a three-year period of study after reaching adulthood. Naturally, those who were exceptional could graduate early.
Early graduation? Felix’s eyes lit up, and he became interested. How do you graduate early? By passing an assessment?
Ryan was also unfamiliar with the Male Academy’s system and was about to give a vague answer when he heard laughter behind them. Turning around, the smile on Felix’s face faded slightly.
Lord Alec, Ryan greeted politely. What a coincidence.
It is no coincidence; I am specifically here waiting for Lord Felix, Alec said with his usual smile. Felix keenly sensed the mockery hidden beneath his gentle demeanor. Does Lord Felix wish to graduate early?
Felix frowned slightly, having no intention of conversing with him, and responded coldly, Yes.
Since the establishment of the Male Academy, only one person has had the ability to successfully graduate early, Alec stared at those black eyes, dazed for a moment. Lord Felix, you really resemble an old friend of mine.
Felix’s gaze became wary. Is that so? I don’t recall having any prior acquaintance with Lord Alec.
Alec paused, his smile remaining unchanged, but a hint of indifference appeared in his eyes. Are you this cold to everyone?
No, Felix said expressionlessly. I am only cold to… rude insects.
Rude insects…
Alec pondered those words, truly unable to understand how he had provoked this Male, whose heart seemed even colder than his face.
Seeing that the two Males were on the verge of a confrontation and that the crowd of onlookers was growing, Ryan bit the bullet and stepped in front of his Master.
Lord Alec, Ryan’s azure eyes held a plea. My Master hasn’t even had time to return to the dormitory yet. Why don’t we visit you after we have put away our luggage?
Alec glanced at Felix, tilted his chin slightly, and gave a soft snort. Felix, I hope you know that provoking a teacher before enrollment does not end well.
Felix gave him an even colder look and led Ryan away without looking back.
Ever since arriving at the Male Academy, Felix felt himself becoming more irritable. A restless desire to hit someone was suppressed deep in his heart, making him wonder if there was something wrong with this body.
Could it be that the inferior genes of a Male were finally affecting him?
Felix frowned; this was not a good sign.
Finally, before he could lose his temper, Ryan opened the dormitory door. The scent of a cold air freshener wafted toward them. Felix let out a long sigh of relief, and the anger in his heart vanished instantly.
Ryan was completely unaware of this. Like a puppy patrolling its territory, he opened and inspected every small compartment, peeking here and sniffing there, finally stopping in front of the wardrobe.
The patrolling puppy stopped moving. Felix looked over and asked casually, What’s wrong?
Master, Ryan held the wardrobe door without turning around, but his tone betrayed his dissatisfaction. They actually didn’t spray your favorite floral air freshener in the wardrobe.
He had specifically requested this before enrollment. He really didn’t know how the Females responsible for cleaning the Male dormitories this year were doing their jobs.
Felix walked up behind him and, over Ryan’s head, took a light sniff. Indeed, he didn’t smell any floral air freshener; he only smelled the faint scent of shampoo on Ryan.
It was a completely different scent from the sickly sweet floral air freshener in his memory—faint, with a crisp, sharp fragrance.
Like a mixture of mint and lemon.
Felix couldn’t help himself; he leaned closer and sniffed again. As the fragrance filled his lungs, he felt like a pervert for a split second.
Hearing the soft sniffing behind his head and being so close that he could clearly feel his Master’s body heat, Ryan’s body began to warm up, even though he knew his Master was just checking the scent of the wardrobe.
His fingers suddenly gripped the cabinet door tightly as he struggled to control himself from reacting.
By the time Felix snapped back to his senses and took a step back to widen the distance between them, Ryan’s face was already flushed with a faint pink, looking like a delicately carved little angel.
For no reason, Felix thought of the divine statues praised by artists in his past life, which also had golden hair, deep blue eyes, and porcelain-white bodies…
Master? Ryan let out a long breath internally. Turning around and seeing Felix’s uncomfortable expression, he reached out to test Felix’s temperature. Are you feeling unwell?
Felix’s Adam’s apple bobbed. …No.
Then… are you very hot? He helped unbutton Felix’s collar and fanned him with his hand. The current temperature isn’t suitable for taking off your coat. Please endure it for a while, alright?
How could Felix say no? He nodded randomly and turned away to cover his embarrassment, saying, I’m fine. I… I’ll go check the kitchen.
The dormitories provided by the Male Academy were also configured according to the Male’s rank. As an A-rank Male, Felix not only had a private kitchen and bathroom but also a small, well-tended garden.
Unfortunately, the timing was wrong. The garden that should have been lush was now only filled with greenery, looking less like a garden and more like a grassland.
The garden was specifically provided for A-rank Males who chose the plant cultivation course. Besides Felix, the others who chose this course were the A-rank Male Anka Lucas and a Male from the nobility named Adam.
Adam had chestnut hair and green eyes. Those green eyes were like a forest after rain, pure and clean.
His Female was tall with long, fiery red hair. He seemed boisterous and informal, yet when facing his Master, he could accurately capture every small detail.
The two were the first to come and get to know Felix. Felix originally wanted to turn them away, but seeing Adam’s pure and gentle eyes, the refusal at the tip of his tongue was swallowed back down.
Or perhaps it was because the name Adam felt somewhat familiar to him; in any case, Felix did not refuse their visit.
Master? Ryan tilted his head, surprised not to hear the familiar refusal. Shall I let them in?
Let them in, Felix walked to the sofa and habitually took the Yellow Spirit Tea from the drawer. Ryan, where are our tea sets?
The layout of the academy was very similar to their home, which was something Ryan had specifically requested. However, organizing things still took some time. Felix looked around and couldn’t find what he wanted, so he had to ask Ryan for help.
In that short time, Adam had already entered with his Female Monarch, Landon.
Hello, Lord Felix, Adam’s voice was clear and gentle, like a peaceful stream in the forest. I am Adam. I apologize for the intrusion; I hope you won’t take offense.
As he spoke, he took a gift box wrapped with a bow from Landon and handed it to Felix with both hands. This is a meeting gift. I hope you like it.
A flash of satisfaction appeared in Felix’s eyes. He took the gift box with both hands. Meeting Adam’s expectant gaze, despite not having the habit of opening gifts in front of people, he chose to open the box then and there.
The moment he saw what was inside, Felix’s eyes lit up. Seeds? Where did Lord Adam buy these?
These weren’t bought, Adam said, naturally sitting down beside Felix. His gaze fell directly on Felix’s face, yet it didn’t feel intrusive. I cultivated these myself at the Production Base.
Noble Males always had certain privileges, such as freely entering and leaving the Production Base. Of course, it wasn’t entirely without drawbacks.
As a noble, while enjoying the privilege of entering the Production Base early, one naturally had to put in the effort.
Mentioning the Production Base, Adam gave a low sigh, his tone softening with a coquettish complaint. Lord Felix, you certainly wouldn’t like working at the Production Base.
Felix smiled without saying anything, offering no comment. Adam saw that he had no interest in the Production Base and changed the subject to his own Female Monarch.
I haven’t had the chance to introduce him to you yet. This is my Female Monarch, Landon, Adam held Landon’s hand and had him sit beside him, his emerald eyes full of pride. Landon is a General of the Empire. He’s very impressive, isn’t he?
Felix was not to be outdone. My Ryan is also very impressive.
Ryan, sitting restlessly to the side: …
Looking at the red-haired General opposite him, Ryan gave a stiff smile. General Landon, hello.
Landon gave a bright smile. Ryan, we meet again.
Felix paused and turned to Ryan. You know each other?
Ryan pursed his lips, his heart becoming increasingly uneasy. General Landon is… is the commander of the First Legion.
Felix remembered that Ryan was a Major General of the First Legion.
Well then, it turned out they had run into one of their own.
Ryan became increasingly distressed, fearing his Master would think his rank was too low… oh, he didn’t even have a rank anymore. What if his Master felt he had lost face in front of Lord Adam and thought he was useless?
Felix couldn’t have guessed that Ryan’s thoughts had flown that far. He thought Ryan was nervous because he was facing his superior, so he thoughtfully patted the back of his hand. I baked some small cakes in the kitchen. Go and see if they are ready.
Okay. Ryan didn’t dare look at Felix’s expression and quickly stood up to hide in the kitchen, feeling an unprecedented sense of loss in his heart.
However, this bit of loss was soon dissipated by the aroma of the baking cakes. This was the first time Felix had made cakes, and it was the first time Ryan had ever smelled the aroma of cake.
Flour was not commonly used by the Zerg Race; it was full of impurities and difficult to process. Furthermore, cakes made from flour were usually black, hard, and had a strong bitter taste.
Except for Females who couldn’t even afford low-quality nutrient solutions, no one would choose to buy bread if they had a choice.
But the bread Felix made was completely different. The impurities in the flour were hard to handle, but he had cleaned them thoroughly. The baked bread was a soft yellow, and a light press would leave a small indentation.
Ryan’s eyes widened. Ignoring the heat, he arranged the bread on a plate and walked briskly toward the living room carrying the tray.
The dough had been fermented by Felix before he tended to the garden and put into the oven before Adam and Landon visited. There was very little yeast in the Zerg Race, and Felix had found some in the kitchen by chance. He hadn’t expected the results to be so surprisingly good.
Is this an ancient bread-making method? Adam smelled the fragrance and couldn’t even maintain his noble decorum. He craned his neck to look at the tray in Ryan’s hand. Felix, you actually know how to make bread?!
His emerald eyes danced with wonder. Felix had a fairly good impression of him, so upon hearing this, he proactively took the tray from Ryan and placed the bread in front of Adam. Would you like to try some?
Of course, Adam tore off a small piece of bread and put it in his mouth. Before he even had time to chew, he was stunned by the overwhelming flavor. How did you do this!
No one knew that Adam was a closet foodie, except for his Female Monarch, Landon.
The moment he smelled the bread, Landon knew things were going south. As expected, his Master had completely forgotten the task Lord Alec had assigned him and was now fully absorbed in discussing food with Lord Felix.
