The Last Day of Class VII

The 'couple of other people' joining them included their fellow intern Clare and a few others Yuliang vaguely remembered seeing around the university. He was introduced to them individually.

"Yuliang, this is Ahmed Khan. He's currently interning under Healer Branson," Eric said, pointing to the Kulonian-looking young man with thick black-framed glasses and a slightly crooked nose that looked like a remnant from past breakage. It would have to be re-broken for it to be properly Healed, but Yuliang didn't get the impression that the other man was the vain sort if the messy state of his hair and rumpled state of his clothing were of any indication.

They exchanged curt nods in acknowledgment.

The petite girl beside him had short bright blue hair pinned back from her face, wide blue eyes that were practically sparkling, and a flushed face when Eric introduced them. She looked like the human version of a pixie. "This is Mila Colins; she works under Healer Yukimura."

"Oh my gosh. It's an absolute honor to meet you, Healer Davos!" Mila gushed, grabbing one of his hands with both hers and shaking it emphatically. "I'm a huge fan of your work!"

"Thanks," Yuliang offered politely before slowly extracting his hands from her clammy grip and backing away. He darted an uncertain glance at Eric, who laughed.

"Mila has a massive nerd crush on you. Don't worry too much about it. Just smile," he said quietly enough for Yuliang's sensitive hearing to pick up on without being overheard.

Yuliang grimaced.

"I'm Linden Sanchez," the third intern said, taking the initiative and offering his hand. Linden was a beautiful man who looked like he could pass for an omega if it weren't for the lack of pheromones emitted from him.

He had dark curly hair, tan skin, and striking red eyes framed by a pair of gold wire-rimmed glasses. It was difficult to place what region he had ancestry in due to his ambiguous appearance, but his name and accent suggested Sundan.

He looked quite friendly with a pretty grin with a slight tooth gap in the middle and dimples on his cheeks.

"I'm an Enforcer interning under Professor Schmidt. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Healer Davos."

Yuliang thought Linden had a very calming presence about him and couldn't help offering the other a small smile as they shook hands. "It's nice to meet you, too."

Eric clapped his hands, prompting Yuliang to withdraw and return to the older omega's side once more. "And you already know Clare. So now that introductions are out of the way, let's get going. I don't want to have to wait in line all night," Eric said, placing a casual arm around Yuliang's shoulders and pulling him along to get them moving.
