The alarm clock kept ringing, but Luo Chao didn't bother to turn it off. He just grabbed his toiletries and headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Five minutes later, Luo Chao had tidied himself up meticulously in front of the mirror. His military-style crew cut stood straight, making him look especially spirited. The rugged lines of his face gave off a tough aura. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he exuded a heroic presence. In short, the guy was quite handsome.

When he came out of the bathroom, he found that Du Xin and the other two had impressively ignored the noise of the alarm clock and continued to snore blissfully.

He touched his crew cut, turned back to the bathroom, and rummaged around a bit.

When he came out, he was holding a brand new iron basin in his left hand and a tea mug for brushing teeth in his right. He clanged the two items together, producing a piercing metallic sound. The decibels of this noise were definitely several times higher than that of an alarm clock, and Luo Chao nodded in satisfaction with the volume.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..." The clanging sounded continuously.

At first, Du Xin, Fei Yuan, and Yang Wei pretended they didn't hear it and covered their heads with their blankets. Later, they realized the banging showed no signs of stopping and could no longer endure it.

"Alright, I surrender. Please stop banging..." Du Xin mumbled.

On the other side, Yang Wei quietly put on his clothes and began trying to pull off Fei Yuan's blanket. He believed that unless they stood fully dressed in front of Luo Chao, he wouldn't stop this activity.

Twenty minutes later, the three finally dressed sluggishly. "Now, let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast, then back to the classroom. Today is the first day of official classes. Any missed roll call will receive a demerit," Luo Chao began announcing the day's plan.

Although Luo Chao had no interest in school, once he saw it as a task, his attitude immediately became serious. Some tasks executed in the military required disguising oneself as various people to approach target missions, which called for a mastery of various skills. Being the former captain of Huaxia's most elite special forces team—Dark Thorn, Luo Chao was naturally an expert in this area. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had that 95% mission success rate.

Disguising himself as a student was naturally a piece of cake for him. The first thing to do was to attend school as usual like a regular student and not attract attention.

Therefore, Luo Chao on a mission was a completely different person from his usual self. His flamboyant personality was fully restrained, like a treasure sword hiding his unparalleled sharpness, serious and meticulous, befitting the Royal Language Academy.

"Xuan Tian, I drank a bit too much yesterday, and my head still hurts now, so I'm skipping breakfast. Please call out my name during roll call," Du Xin said, holding his head with a painful expression.

Seeing Du Xin's ploy, Fei Yuan's eyes lit up. He clutched his head with both hands and squatted down on the ground. "Xuan Tian, I also..."

"What do you mean, 'also'? You two, don't pretend here. Can two bottles of beer get you drunk? Get moving, or I'll take action!"

Their lies were instantly exposed by Luo Chao, so they had no choice but to droop their heads and follow behind him.

The three shuffled and dawdled after Luo Chao to the cafeteria. At this time, the student cafeteria was mostly empty, with only a few early risers having breakfast.

Luo Chao turned around and looked at Yang Wei and the others, and burst into laughter. The three stood in a line: Yang Wei, standing at the front with a height of 1.65 meters, indeed looked quite short; Du Xin, at 1.70 meters and a bit more, appeared normal; and Fei Yuan, at 1.90 meters, resembled a gorilla from a distance. The three of them formed a perfect step-like gradient. If you added Luo Chao at 1.80 meters standing behind Du Xin, it would be even more perfect.

Of course, Luo Chao had no interest in performing for everyone.

He laughed and said, "What do you guys want to eat?"

Yang Wei: "Soy milk and fried dough sticks."

Du Xin: "First floor approved."

Fei Yuan: "Second floor agrees."

Luo Chao spoke to the cafeteria lady behind the counter, "Four servings of fried dough sticks and soy milk." Du Xin handed his meal card from behind, saying, "I've loaded it with tens of thousands, enough for us to eat." Luo Chao didn't hesitate, taking it directly and swiping it on the card machine.

The four of them each held a glass of soy milk in one hand and a few fried dough sticks in the other, sitting around a table to eat.

"Brothers, you know, we are going to be roommates and buddies for the next four years. Shouldn't we take a page from other dorms and rank ourselves one, two, three, and four?" Du Xin said, munching on his fried dough stick, mumbling indistinctly.

"I don't mind." Luo Chao was the first to express his stance.

"Sounds good to me," said one.

"Long live the host!" said another.

Receiving the unanimous approval, Du Xin seemed quite excited, gulping down a large sip of soy milk followed by a mouthful of fried dough sticks. Pointing a fried dough stick at Fei Yuan, he said, "Ol' Fei is twenty-two, the oldest among us, so there's no argument about him being the big brother, right?" Luo Chao and Yang Wei nodded in agreement.

"Next, it's about the second brother. I'm twenty-one, with a January birthday, so it seems this second brother should be me." Du Xin pointed at himself with a fried dough stick, looking excited as if proclaiming his sovereignty.

Turns out he was waiting for this moment.

Luo Chao raised his hand. Du Xin, pointing everywhere, said, "Comrade Xuan Tian, do you have any objections?"

"Reporting, I'm also twenty-two, just two months younger than Big Brother Fei," Luo Chao answered loudly.

While drinking soy milk, Du Xin choked upon hearing this. "Xuan Tian, you aren't pulling our leg, are you? You don't look twenty-two at all."

Indeed, although Luo Chao had a tough demeanor, his face appeared quite youthful, not looking twenty-two at all.

"Reporting, if there are any benefits to deceiving you, then I admit I am deceiving you. If not, my real age can be confirmed in the dorm with an ID check," Luo Chao said loudly again.

In reality, Luo Chao wasn't twenty-two; he was only twenty. However, his fake ID stated he was twenty-two, so to keep things consistent, he simply told them he was twenty-two.

Upon hearing Luo Chao's words, they were mostly convinced he wasn't lying. Feeling crestfallen, he had to rearrange the lineup.

"So Xuan Tian is the second, I'm the third, and Glasses, you're the youngest."

This time, it's Yang Wei's turn to raise his hand. The bespectacled guy seemed a bit embarrassed and said, "Actually, I..."

"Don't tell me you're twenty-two as well," Du Xin interrupted before Yang Wei finished.

"No, I'm indeed twenty-one."

Du Xin let out a sigh of relief.

"But my birthday is January 1st." Du Xin, who had just relaxed, was almost infuriated again by this statement.

Perfect. He was the one who suggested arranging the dorm hierarchy, thinking he could at least be the second brother, but it backfired, making him the little brother instead. Talking about shooting oneself in the foot!
