Chapter 113 The Chief Who Skipped His Award
“Now, please welcome our first–year Mecha Piloting chief, Hector Vale; Psychic Healing chief, Elias Whitmore; Combat Recon chief, Jessica Hale…”
At the end, the host paused on purpose, teasing the crowd before announcing the final name:
And the Mecha Engineering chief who may not have reached the finals, but has already earned that title in everyone’s heart–Julian Shaw!”
Dark–purple thunder filled the screen.
The replay showed a mecha spear shattering the Titan Shield in one strike.
The camera instantly cut to Class F.
Cheers reached their peak.
Then everyone saw an empty seat.
Beside that empty seat, Noah, Samuel, and Leo were frantically trying to video–call Julian.
Because privacy mode was off, the call connected directly to the giant screen after a long wait.
Then Noah, Samuel, Leo, and everyone watching the screen saw the same thing.
The cat–eyed boy on the video was being held by the back of the neck.
A slender hand, beautiful and clearly jointed, guided him gently, making him lift his face and lean closer bit by bit.
Everyone said, “!!!”
“Holy shit!”
“Ahhhhh! Is this something I’m allowed to watch for free?”
“Camera, you know what to do! Move closer! Closer!”
Amid the arena’s primate–level screaming, Julian stopped.
Then he tilted his head slightly and looked at the screen, his cat eyes full of question marks.
“Holy shit, Julian! You love–struck idiot! You skipped your award at Abyss Dome Arena, and what the hell are you doing right now?”
Noah almost threw his terminal away.
He should never have made this call.
But now that he had, hanging up unclearly would only look guiltier.

She had to continue.
“Ah?”
Julian looked confused.
He let the Alpha’s long fingers brush lightly along the side of his neck.
‘Wasn’t I eliminated? Do eliminated people get consolation prizes now?”
‘What consolation prize? You’re the first–year Mecha Engineering chief! Chief Julian!”
Noah felt his grief growing impossibly large.
Julian quickly proved he could make Noah even more speechless.
‘Oh. Then please accept the award for me. Thanks.”
Noah said, “?”
Noah said, “You’re not coming?”

Finished
In the video, Julian blinked and had already leaned against the Alpha’s shoulder under that gentle pull.
From their angle, they could see only a crisp white shirt, a firm jawline, and the Alpha’s throat shifting with a quiet laugh.
They could not see his face.
‘Damn. Why do I feel like Chief Julian’s Alpha is kind of dangerously hot?”
On the award platform, the Nursing Division chief behind Elias was giggling with another Beta chief beside her, both of them shamelessly eating gossip.
“Hehehe. If I were Chief Julian, I’d stay with my boyfriend too.”
Hearing them, and hearing the entire arena howl over Julian, Elias almost failed to keep the smile on his face.

The Psychic Healing chief held a position second only to the Piloting chief at the military academy.
In terms of hidden status and privileges, Elias might even rank above Hector Vale beside him.
Calling him the main focus of this award ceremony would not have been an exaggeration.
This should have been his most glorious moment since entering the academy.
Yet everyone’s eyes were elsewhere.
If it had been because of some major event, fine.
But no.

Chapter 113 the Chi Whe Skipped His Award
It was Julian.
That shameful thing who could not belong on any proper stage.
And he was flirting with an Alpha who would not even show his face.
Elias was shaking with anger.
On the screen, Julian did not struggle with the decision for even one second.
“I’m not coming. I got chief because of my work, not because my body has to stand there.”
Then he lowered his lashes.
“And I’m hungry. I’m going to eat with my Alpha. We’re already of the way.”
Noah said nothing.
Finished
He was just about to yell at Julian for being a dead love–struck idiot when the unseen Alpha holding the boy spoke.
“Really not going?”
“No.”
“All right.”
The Alpha did not say anything unnecessary.
He fully respected Julian’s choice.
And after Julian made that choice clear, the Alpha said softly, “Then hang up.”
Before anyone could react, a furry wolf paw pressed onto the screen.
