The Fallen Merman

The training at the special training base proceeded in an orderly manner. The results of the physical examination were released yesterday, and the report forms had been sent to Han Xingqian’s office. Students called by their names stopped training and went over to listen to Han Xingqian’s simple explanation of the results. For students with problems, a separate, specialized treatment plan would be arranged.

There weren’t any sniper classes scheduled for the day, and the students in the sniper class assembled in the combat classroom to train. Each special trainee could choose a class they excelled at as their major after the instructor’s assessment when they entered the school. The rest of the courses would all need to be lightly covered, especially tactics and close combat. 

Xiao Xun’s biggest headache was the weekly combat class, where he would be beaten black and purple to the point that he couldn’t even get up after attending an entire day of training.

The special trainees of the combat class served as the sparring trainers for those in other classes. Xiao Xun’s sparring partner was Lu Yan. The Greyhound bloodline should have the advantage of chasing rabbits, but Xiao Xun didn’t understand how a rabbit that was usually small and soft could fight so well.

Xiao Xun fell to the ground exhausted, gasping for breath, his chest rapidly heaving up and down. Lu Yan lay down beside him and conveniently lazed around, unscathed.

“You’re way too strong.” Xiao Xun said tiredly.

“Because I’m in combat class.” Lu Yan stretched out on the ground. “I wish to bang my head against a wall in sniper class every week. I keep getting scolded by the instructor because I can never figure out the correct angle.”

“But it’s great here.” Lu Yan raised his head, “At Ampheia Military Academy, those who lost to me couldn’t accept it, saying that they were just letting me win and not taking it seriously on behalf of my father’s honor.”

“I didn’t let you, I’m actually not as good as you are.” Xiao Xun calmly confessed.

“You’ve made a lot of progress. Let’s team up for this week’s reality combat assessment.” Lu Yan was only able to be very fast at thinking of strange solutions, “I’ve figured out the rules. As long as we hand in our last theory assignment of the week in the same stack then it’s very likely that we’ll be on the same team.” 

“En.”

Bi Lanxing sat beside them: “What are you guys studying? Let me in on it.”

“Nope.” Lu Yan counted with his fingers, “We have to annihilate your team this week. Otherwise, you’ll become too arrogant by slaughtering us on the overall score list every week.”

Bi Lanxing smiled gently: “Okay.” 

As soon as they finished finalizing the stakes, the combat instructor received a phone call from Han Xingqian asking Xiao Xun to come over to collect his medical results.

Xiao Xun wiped off his sweat. Before leaving the classroom, he went to the locker room to take a shower and changed into a clean special trainee uniform.

He stood outside Instructor Han’s office, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door, pursing his lips hesitantly.

A clear ‘Come In’ sounded from the inside. 

Han Xingqian was waiting for him behind the consultation desk in a white coat. He was working, staring at the screen of the laptop, and typing very quickly with his slender fingers. He took out Xiao Xun’s medical examination results from the drawer in passing and pushed it towards him, saying, “Look at it by yourself first. Wait for me to finish typing this list.”

Xiao Xun reservedly sat on the round stool beside the doctor’s desk. He lowered his eyes slightly and couldn’t help but probe Doctor Han’s mood.

70% calm, 30% focused. To sum it up, he was at peace.

Xiao Xun raised his eyes slightly but didn’t dare to raise his eyes too high. They only landed on Doctor Han’s Adam’s apple peeking out from his collar. He watched the thin chain hanging on his glasses slightly sway back and forth with his typing movements. 

Han Xingqian sent the required research equipment to the Technology Department, and it would be shipped here by a ferry boat at the end of the month. Once the email was sent, he turned around and asked, “Have you read the results?”

Xiao Xun nodded.

“Actually, most of the indicators are fine.” Han Xingqian pointed at the test values ​​of these items with the ballpoint pen he removed from his pocket and said to Xiao Xun one by one, “Your body fat rate is very low, so it’s appropriate to eat some relatively high-calorie foods.”

“Your digestive system is normal…” 

“Your psychological problem is quite major.” Han Xingqian leaned against the back of the chair with his hands and fingers crossed above his lower abdomen, his posture relaxed. “Usually, the worst a student can get is only a B.”

Last night, Han Xingqian went to understand the situation of Xiao Xun’s prior psychological inquiries. Samoyed gland’s J1 differentiation ability was ‘Honest Smile.’ When people looked at him, they could only answer the truth.

The Samoyed doctor had asked him three questions in total. First, what is your dream? Xiao Xun answered, to live. Second, what makes you happy? Xiao Xun replied: the Greyhound family’s destruction. Third, what is the one thing you want to accomplish the most in the future? Xiao Xun replied, killing my elder brothers and father.

Han Xingqian didn’t repeat the questions. He instead asked Xiao Xun to lie on the examination bed and pull down his pants a bit. 

Xiao Xun didn’t do as he said, but he took two steps back vigilantly with his black eyes wide open.

Han Xingqian hung up the curtain, put on medical gloves and a mask, and urged softly: “Hurry up a bit, don’t delay the students after you.”

Xiao Xun bit his lower lip, moved to the bed with difficulty, and laid down.

“Unbutton your pants.” 

Xiao Xun took a deep breath, stiffly closed his eyes, and didn’t move.

Han Xingqian took off his gloves and pressed his hand against Xiao Xun’s waist so that he couldn’t struggle. With the other hand, he unbuttoned his pants and folded the waistband down a few times.

His bones were very delicate, especially the cinched waist, which bore a resemblance to the stature of a greyhound.

Xiao Xun’s tailbone was extended, and a thin dog’s tail was tightly sandwiched between his legs, which showed how nervous he was right now. 

However, the bones of the tail, which should have been straight, were deformed with several obvious protrusions in the middle of the joints.

“You can’t wear these kinds of pants anymore. Otherwise, your tail will become more and more deformed, and you’ll feel more and more painful.” Han Xingqian said, “Lu Yan and the others also put out their tails; there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

An omega’s biological characteristics couldn’t be recovered easily because they were the manifestation of glandular cell proliferation to carry any excess energy. An omega’s glands were small, so they could only rely on cell proliferation to carry the energy generated by an increase in grade.

“I’m…used to it.” Xiao Xun’s voice was a little choked with emotion, “When I was a child, my eldest brother and second brother chased and stepped on me, saying that they would break my tail. My father never stopped them and just blamed me for diverting my brothers’ attention from studying.” 

“It’s fine.” Han Xingqian put on his gloves, “Let them come. If the Greyhound family has the guts to, that is.”

The fingertips wearing rubber gloves touched the sensitive base of the tail. Xiao Xun shuddered, his body involuntarily shaking.

“It’s a very beautiful tail, but it needs to be reset.” Han Xingqian said, “No need to be afraid. I’ll be quick. By the way, why did you name yourself Xiao Xún?”

Xiao Xun’s voice was trembling a little: “Xún sounded better. Xùn…is too obedient.” 

“Really? Xun Xun.”

Xiao Xun was stunned. While he was distracted, a crisp sound suddenly came from the joint of his tail accompanied by a sharp pain. Xiao Xun suddenly cried out, and cold sweat immediately wet his forehead and back. In the midst of nearly fainting from the pain, he smelled a gentle scent of soothing pheromones.

“Done.” Han Xingqian took off his gloves nimbly, sat back down behind the consultation table, and took out a ballpoint pen in his pocket, “Go back and rest for two days, and you’ll be fine. Remember to change to a pair of pants with a tail opening with the logistics staff.”

Xiao Xun’s whole face was burning. Half of it was in pain, and the other half with an inexplicable feeling. 

He stumbled down from the examination bed and fastened his buttons, wanting to escape from this terrifying doctor’s office immediately. Still, his footsteps were impractical, and he had no strength at all. His vision darkened as if fainting from an injection, and he unsteadily fell down.

Dr. Han stretched out a hand to support him. Xiao Xun fell on his forearm. Han Xingqian wrapped his forearm halfway around his waist and pulled him to his side, and said softly, “What are you running away for?”

The alpha’s dominating aura enveloped Xiao Xun, who was half a head shorter than him and found himself in his control, disadvantaged.

Han Xingqian looked down at the flushed ears of the puppy in his arms, lowered his head, and said lightly, “For the medical fee, swipe your card.” 

He took out the meal card from Xiao Xun’s pocket and stuck it on the card reader.

Xiao Xun didn’t take leave for the afternoon training. When he was internshipping in combat class, it was extremely unpleasant for his tail, with its bones freshly reset, to be stuck in his pants without any openings, so he always couldn’t help rubbing it twice.

When he was a child, his tail was the part he hated the most. He hid it in his pants so that no one could see it, nor step or pull at it. He also had to be always on guard of it being broken off by his prankster elder brother.

It was gray and thin. Was it really pretty? He had a feeling that Han Xingqian was just comforting him. 

After the afternoon training was over, the special trainees changed their clothes and went to shower in the locker room. Xiao Xun hid in a cubicle and released his tail from the stuffy pants to relax it so he could feel a bit more at ease.

All of a sudden, Lu Yan poked half of his head in from the neighboring cubicle and asked, “What are you eating for dinner?”

The two suddenly fell into silence and the atmosphere became awkward for more than ten seconds. Lu Yan saw what had been hurriedly hidden behind Xiao Xun’s butt and gave an ‘oh ho’ sound.

He took off his pants that had an opening for his tail, leaving a small pair of underpants and a small white fur ball dangling behind his butt, and stuffed them into Xiao Xun’s cubicle gladly and diligently, “Let’s switch. You can wear mine first. My tail is short, so I don’t fear the pressure.” 

Xiao Xun’s face started warming up again after he had finally managed to cool it down.
