void engagement [interstellar]

At the beginning of a new week, according to the actual situation of the individual, Edie's class personnel and course arrangements were readjusted.

The sisters who are also newcomers are gone, because they are getting married soon, so they have been transferred to the crash course for half a month, but the dormitory has not changed, and it is still next to Edie.

As for Edie and Ling Zhi, one didn't know the date of their marriage, and the other didn't even have a marriage partner yet, so they were still in ordinary classes.

The first class on Monday is beast training.

At first, Edie saw the name of this course on the campus website, and thought it was a course like the one in the Royal Military Academy, where he piloted mechas or wore protective suits to fight alien beasts.Although his original mecha maintenance major did not arrange this course, he saw the mecha combat major next door doing this training, and the scene was very exciting and exciting.

Thinking about it, I still have a little expectation.

But as soon as he said this idea, Ling Zhi laughed at him, saying that he thought too much.How could it be possible to arrange such a ferocious activity of fighting alien beasts for delicate and noble noble Omegas?

It's more like the training of exotic animals than the domestication of exotic pets.

The school will prepare some tamed animals with relatively docile relatives for the students to choose to adopt and take care of them, and spend the time at school with them.It is said that it is used to cultivate the sense of responsibility and love of these young Omega, and prepare for raising children after marriage.

The teacher who taught this class was named Lance, and he was an Alpha, which surprised Edie.He had seen either Beta or Omega at school before, so he thought there was no Alpha teacher in this school.

Lance is also one of the few older teachers in this school. He is over middle-aged, his hair is already slightly gray, and obvious wrinkles can be seen on his face.However, his body is still very tough. It is said that he is a retired soldier. He is holding the big iron cage full of baby animals in his hand, and it looks effortless.

Teacher Lance called several new students and Ling Zhi over, lifted the curtain covering the iron cage, and asked them to choose their favorite baby animals.

These baby animals were divided into several different species, but they were all very friendly to people. As soon as the curtain was opened, they crawled to the edge of the cage, stretched out their fleshy little claws, and screamed while clawing at the railing.Even if it is a more powerful variety when it grows up, because it is still young, even the fluff has not faded, and it looks pink and tender, so cute that it melts people's hearts.

"Be careful!" Edie grabbed the arm of a girl next to her, preventing her from reaching out to a very active beast. "It has fangs. Will it bite?"

"Hahahaha!" Lance laughed heartily and said, "This new classmate," he looked down at the list, "Little Gary, right? There's nothing wrong with being cautious. Generally speaking, we don't want to stretch our hands It's better to get into the mouth of other people's beasts, even if they are young, their teeth are very sharp."

"However," Alpha changed the subject, with a proud look on his face, and said with a smile, "These babies are all trained by the teacher and me, and they are all very obedient and obedient. , they will not bite people randomly. So you can play with them with confidence."

At first, the girl heard the words, and then slowly stretched out her retracted fingers towards the baby baby that she had a crush on.

"It really didn't bite... Hey, it's still licking me, hee hee~ so cute~" The alien baby who looks a bit like an ancient lion lazily puts the Omega girl's finger in his mouth, making a gesture The appearance of biting, but avoiding the sharpest part of the teeth, not only does not hurt, but itches, which makes the girl laugh happily.

"Hey, teacher! What kind of bird is this? I want this!" Ling Zhi, who had to re-select his pet after years of repeated grades, saw a bird that he had never seen before standing on Mr. Lance's shoulder. The new strange beast that I have seen, I want to touch it when I reach out.

Edie saw it early in the morning, but thought it was an ordinary parrot, so she didn't pay much attention to it. After hearing Ling Zhi's words, she followed it and looked over, only to find out that it was not.

The strange beast has more beautiful fur than the colorful parrot, and it shines brightly in the morning sun, but it doesn't have the hard beak of ordinary birds. Instead, there are coiled mouthparts where the mouth should be. , Just looking at the mouth is a bit like an insect like a butterfly.

Lance knocked Ling Zhi's hand down with a "snap", and his tone was quite stern: "Little Mushroom, this is not a pet for you to play with." He pointed to the cage on the ground, "So many grow up and add up. , not as powerful as this little thing.”

Ling Zhi was obviously more curious, but he didn't reach out again, and only asked eagerly: "Why is it amazing, tell us about it?"

Lance didn't directly agree, nor did he refuse. He half bent down and rummaged through the cabinet under the podium.The strange beast in the middle has been standing firmly on his shoulder, and occasionally glanced at the people around him, with a feeling of looking down on the world in his eyes.

Then I saw Lance dig out a piece of iron, patted the soil on it, and handed it to Ling Zhi: "Touch it." Then he signaled him to pass it to others after reading it.

Several freshmen passed the iron sheet around, not knowing what the teacher meant, and waited for the next sentence together with the students below.

Lance held up the book-sized iron sheet in front of the beast.At the beginning, the strange beast looked indifferent and arrogant. When Lance whistled, suddenly its head moved back and forth as fast as a woodpecker. holes.

"Wow..." Several freshmen got closer, and when they saw this scene, they all exclaimed in unison.The mouthparts of that little thing looked soft and slender, but it could pierce through hard iron!

And it's not over yet.

Lance took out a small bowl from the teaching utensils, poured a little dark green liquid into it, and placed the small bowl in front of the strange beast.

It lowered its head, inserted its curved mouthparts into the bowl, drank the liquid little by little, and a small bag gradually bulged up at the neck.

Then, Lance held up an empty transparent plastic bottle, and with another rhythmic whistle sounded, the mouthparts of the alien beast turned into needles again, piercing the plastic bottle with a puff, and the dark green liquid was sprayed on the ground in an instant. on the inner wall of the plastic bottle.

Now, the expressions of the students are all like "=口=".

"Look, although this kind of strange beast looks good, it's ferocious and unruly. Its mouthparts can become very sharp, and can easily pierce people's skin, suck blood, or in turn inject people with other drugs. No one can tell what it stored before, if it is poisonous, it will be very harmful.”

"Okay, okay. Let's not talk about it." Lance clapped his hands to call back the students' attention, "Have all the new students chosen their pet babies?"

He looked around, and saw that several freshmen had already embraced the beasts they had chosen, but Edie's hand was still empty: "Little Gary? Why didn't you choose? No one you like?"

Edie shook her head: "They're all cute. But I already have a pet at home, and it won't be happy to have another pet."

"Huh? Is there any video data for the teacher to see? If it meets the requirements, electronic pets can be used instead in future courses and homework." Lance is not surprised. He has domesticated countless strange beasts, so he naturally knows that a certain These breeds love to compete for favor and have a strong desire to monopolize their owners.

Edie's optical brain does store a lot of photos and videos of German Shepherd Su Xiaotian, from the little milk dog at the first full moon to the majestic big dog in his teens.He picked some to show to Mr. Lance. The other party glanced at them roughly, looked at the state of the big dog and him, and agreed that he could use simulated electronic pets instead of real animals for domestication.

Then Lance stretched out his hand, and took away a snow-white, snow-white long-haired short-legged beast that Ling Zhi secretly hid behind his back: "You can forget it. Be good, follow classmate Gary to raise the imitation one."

Ling Zhi screamed: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it, why don't I be allowed to raise it if everyone can! Teacher, you are biased!"

"How many babies have you harmed me in the past few years?" Mr. Lance said with a straight face, "Let's wait until your electronic pet can live well for half a year!"

As he spoke, he took out two palm-sized simulated electronic pets that looked like crabs but were much cuter, and handed them to Ling Zhi and Edie one by one: "Hold it, let's all go down, and the class begins."

Because he didn't adopt a beast of his own, Ling Zhi was very resentful. He was still talking to Edie on the way back to the dormitory after lunch after class.

Edie kept comforting him, saying that if Su Xiaotian gave birth to a puppy, he would definitely give him one.

Although Su Xiaotian actually wouldn't give birth at all.

The twin sisters next door came back a little earlier than them. When they opened the door, they saw Ling Zhi and Yi Di walking towards each other with a big crab on their heads.The younger sister, Jiang Xue, was a little more lively, tilted her head to look at the big crab, and asked curiously, "What are you guys doing?"

Ling Zhi was still humming angrily, turned his head away, not in the mood to answer.Edie took the crab off his head and held it in his hand to show to the two sisters: "We are going to the alien beast training class. This is given by the teacher."

"I checked the alien beast training on the campus website. It requires students to raise a baby alien animal, right? We also have this class in the afternoon, and it is taught by Mr. Lance." Jiang Yu said softly. .

"Huh, really? Then can we get this too?" Jiang Xue looked at the crab in Edie's hand, touched it, and seemed to like it very much.

"You guys are so good, what you got must be a real baby baby." Ling Zhi curled his lips, shaking his crab's leg in front of Jiang Xue's eyes, "We are just a simulation. It's really comparable to this Much cuter."

Although the two sisters usually try their best to maintain a reserved and stable image, they are still just teenage girls after all. Hearing what they said, the anticipation on their faces suddenly overflowed undisguised.

Ling Zhi's indignation reached its peak when he came back at night and saw the pet Jiang Xue had received.

Because she actually got what Lance described as "not a pet for you to play with"-that colorful strange bird that looks a bit like a parrot!

When Lance showed them the ferocious and arrogant bird, at this moment, he stood on Jiang Xue's shoulder very docilely and obediently, chirping, and occasionally touched the girl's cheek with his thin and soft mouthparts , making her chuckle.

The old man has partial eyes, partial eyes, partial eyes!Ling Zhi wished he could repeat it ten thousand times.

Edie remembered the appearance of the strange bird in class, but felt a little bad intuition.

And within a few days, something happened.

At two o'clock in the morning, everything was still and almost everyone in the campus was still asleep, when the doorbell of Edie and Ling Zhi's room was suddenly rang.

Edie was a light sleeper, so she immediately got up and rubbed her sleepy eyes to open the door. She saw Jiang Yu, the sister of the twins, standing at the door in panic.

Ling Zhi also woke up, and walked from the bedroom to the living room unsteadily in a coat, and raised his voice slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu was very flustered, saying that his sister was bitten by the strange bird given by Teacher Lance.

Ling Zhi has been in school for a long time, and he is skinny. He is relatively experienced in this area, and asked: "Bleeding? Don't worry, I have a healing device here."

Jiang Yu shook her head wildly, and said confusedly: "Please come and take a look first. Xiaoxue, she, she is very wrong. I suspect, doubt, is the bird infected with zoonotic diseases?"

Ling Zhi and Yi Di hurried to the next door when they heard the words.

The girl was lying on her back on the bed, her expression was painful, her face was blushing, and sweat dripped down her forehead onto the sheets, leaving obvious water marks.

Edie didn't see the reason, but Ling Zhi suddenly understood what was going on, and murmured: "My God, are the school doctors dereliction of duty? They didn't even pre-check this!"

He slammed the door shut, and looked up at the flustered Jiang Yu and the dazed Edie: "It's not an animal infection, but her estrus has come."
