After Reverting to a Cat, I Became the Cutest in the Galaxy

Bai Ruo transmigrates into the interstellar era as a promising military academy student.

The bad news is that he and the other cadets are sent to a barren planet for training in their ancestral forms.

His classmates' ancestral forms are all apex predators from ancient times. Through genetic editing, their physiques and combat abilities have both been pushed to the top of the evolutionary chain.

And he is a fluffy, soft-haired

Siberian forest cat.

He's not even as tall as half his classmates' legs, and looks like he's good for nothing but being cute.

Faced with his tall, ferocious beast classmates aboard the transport ship, Bai Ruo can only blink his big, dewy eyes and let out a soft meow.

Who would have thought that his classmates, who had been so cool toward him, would suddenly look at him completely differently?

The tip of Bai Ruo's fluffy tail stiffens.

He has a bold guess.

Maybe all his evolution points went into being adorable.

Everyone thinks it's a waste for ancestral genes to land in the hands of a student in the mental guidance track. When they learn that Bai Ruo's ancestral form is a tiny fluffball with no combat ability, they're even more certain he'll hold back his classmates in the combat track, and may even be ostracized and ignored.

But when they open the livestream, they are thoroughly proven wrong.

The black panther brings back prey and feeds Bai Ruo the first bite.

The golden lion searches half the barren planet just to find a piece of catnip.

The silver wolf uses fur and twigs to make a soft cat bed.

And the forest cat, tiny beside the several enormous beasts, surveys the many foods and toys offered before him with his dewy, sapphire-blue eyes, then raises his head haughtily and turns away.

His huge, fluffy tail sways behind him, so adorable that viewers want to reach through the screen and pet him.

The holographic projection is right before their eyes. The audience is face to face with the awesome power of these ancient adorable beasts, and excitement sends their blood racing.

The comments explode: "I'm applying to military academy right now! Headmaster, you have to promise me there'll be cats at the school, aaah!"

Bai Ruo isn't a cat who just sits back and enjoys the spoils. His classmates in the combat track fight and hunt for him, and as a student in the mental comfort track, he helps each of them regulate their mental energy in return.

He thinks it's an equal exchange.

Until one night, unable to sleep, he climbs out of his soft bed and hears his classmates gathered together, arguing in low voices.

Black panther: "I feed Ruo Ruo all three meals a day. After eating, he gives me a kiss with his damp little nose. How could that not be love?"

Golden lion: "You're the one who insists on feeding him. Is he incapable of eating by himself? We groom each other every day, and kiss afterward. That's mutual affection, you idiot."

Silver wolf: "He only grooms you back to keep his position as the boss. If you want to talk about who he likes, it's the bed I made that he can't get enough of. Forget one kiss, he sleeps cuddling the little pillow I made for him every day. Can you say the same? Can you?"

Their argument grows louder. None of them will back down, and eventually they start fighting.

Bai Ruo, who has been watching the whole thing, slowly gets a question mark over his soft, furry head.

Um...

I wasn't kissing you. I was just regulating your mental energy.
