A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Mental magic can be considered quite evil and terrifying. Li Wei mainly divides the spells he knows into two categories: those with normal effects can be called celestial magic, while those with evil effects are called magic. This magic is not the same as that magic; it specifically refers to those evil and unscrupulous spells.

It is precisely because this kind of magic is so evil that Li Wei avoids using it unless absolutely necessary. Moreover, he is cautious about using these methods against important female characters with strong destiny, as it could lead to "fate" interfering with him or even retaliating against him. Therefore, when facing important female characters with prominent figures in the original storyline, Li Wei uses proper methods of conquest, at most reading their minds. Direct manipulation is likely to cause problems.

The deputy reluctantly led Orimura Natsumi to a corner and began to question her, while the manager led Levi to a place where they could avoid being seen by others.

The manager said, "Sir, we have completed your arrangements. I have also prepared the questions for this questioning. Please take a look."

The manager pulled a slip of paper from between the headlights of his large car and placed it in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei took the still-fragrant paper and began to browse its contents. The manager and her colleagues had put a lot of effort into drafting this Q&A; the content was very detailed, but it didn't reveal too many of his secrets—the balance was just right.

Li Wei said, "I'll be going out in a minute. You'll be in charge of making the contact then."

The manager said sternly, "I guarantee the task will be completed."

Li Wei looked at the beautiful manager in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly. The manager in front of him was a German beauty who originally served in the German IS forces. However, after the establishment of the IS Academy, in order to ensure that they had personnel who could transmit information within the IS Academy, Germany sent her in as one of the first batch of teaching staff. Now, the manager is a class teacher and is in the same grade as Chifuyu Orimura.

A few minutes later, Li Wei left under the watchful eyes of many women. His deputy, watching Li Wei's retreating figure, said, "Boss, are we just going to let him go like that?"

The manager said, "It's alright. His information has already been transmitted to IS, and I've left a miniature locator on him, so he can't escape. This kind of rare talent must be recruited into the academy."

The deputy looked surprised and said, "IS Academy is an all-girls school, and he's a man."

The administrator said, "Of course I know he's a man, but he has a reason for needing to enter the academy. Guess what his synchronization rate with IS is."

The women started discussing it, and within seconds they began to give their answers. However, none of them said that Li Wei's synchronization rate was higher than %.

"%!"

"%Bar."

"%, just started."

The manager made a shushing gesture, and everyone quieted down.

The manager said, "None of you guessed it, it's %, and the % here is the upper limit, only %, so that's the number. Core detection, that man, he's practically born to drive an IS."

Everyone gasped. Among those present, the managers had the highest synchronization rate with the core leadership, but even they only achieved a 0.5% synchronization rate. For most faculty and staff, a 4% synchronization rate was considered good. 0.5%—this was an monstrous number.

The deputy stared in astonishment, his mouth agape. "Really?!?!"

The manager said, "The data from the test unit is never falsified. By the way, what was the synchronization rate of that skinny guy you asked about?"

The second-in-command snapped out of his daze and said, "That skinny guy's synchronization rate is 4%, which is already a pretty good result, but compared to that monster, it's far behind."

The manager said, "I will install a locator on that skinny guy. We will recruit both of them into our academy. They are also good research subjects. After all, they are the only men who can pilot an IS. I think the board of directors will definitely be interested in this."

The deputy said excitedly, "This is more than just interest. Those people up there definitely won't refuse people like this, even though they're men."

........................

After leaving the backstage area, Li Wei returned to the area outside the venue, found a coffee shop, ordered a coffee, and enjoyed the pleasant mood brought by the good weather while listening to warm jazz music.

Shinonono Houki was still in line. The long line moved slowly forward, and Shinonono Houki waited with a bored expression. She would move forward a few steps when the person in front of her moved forward a few steps. For her, this kind of formality was too troublesome. She would rather practice in the dojo than wait in line.

Bored, she took out her phone and started messaging Li Wei.

(Li Weijun, what are you doing right now?)

(Selfie inside the coffee shop.jpg I'm drinking coffee; the coffee here is pretty good.)

(I'm so envious of the crowd! I'm still in line, and there are hundreds of people ahead of me. I guess I'll be waiting for hours.)

Houki Shinobu sighed. For many women, this kind of test could be considered a golden opportunity. As long as the synchronization rate was higher than 90%, they would be registered in the system, and then selected based on merit. To be honest, this kind of test was extremely competitive. But for the vast majority of women, it was a chance to change their fate, and even if they had to wait in line for a long time, it was worth it.

However, Shinonono Houki didn't have the same desire for such things as others; she felt that she should just let things take their natural course.

Chapter 1. All Ready

Meanwhile, after obtaining the information "dictated" by Li Wei, the administrators took it back. Then, the secret agents Li Wei had left within the IS Academy began to work, entering Li Wei's information into the academy's special admissions system.

In addition to its formal admissions system, IS Academy also has a special admissions system, which is specifically designed for women from wealthy and powerful families. As long as the synchronization rate reaches a certain percentage, they can gain admission. Of course, this is something that the wealthy and powerful would never talk about outside, since it is not a very honorable thing.

Within the special admissions system, there is another type of student with exceptional talent: those whose academic performance is not outstanding, but who possess remarkable abilities in other areas. The entry requirements for these students may be appropriately lowered. This type of student is for the military and some research institutions. As for Li Wei, he went through the military's quota.

After all, as the only male capable of activating IS, and with a terrifying % synchronization rate, it's perfectly acceptable to talk about this. No one can say that there was a problem with IS Academy's admission of Li Wei.

Looking at the photos sent by Shinonono Houki, Li Wei sighed inwardly. To be honest, the selection of IS pilots was extremely competitive. Although every woman had the potential to start an IS, becoming a qualified pilot was still not an easy task. This was because piloting an IS required a variety of abilities. It could be said that every IS pilot was a top student.

IS Academy has a history of expelling students. The expelled students had decent cohorts, but their learning abilities were so poor that they couldn't even pass the most basic academic courses. Their tactical and individual skills courses were even worse. After repeating two years, one student was expelled.

Therefore, entering IS Academy does not guarantee a meteoric rise to success. Synchronization rate is just one threshold. After passing this threshold, there are many more challenges ahead. IS Academy's dropout rate remains consistently high because the academy has extremely strict requirements for students, reaching a military level. Those who cannot adapt to such a life will be eliminated.

Even women from wealthy and powerful families must abide by this rule. Their status as wealthy and powerful only lowers the entry threshold, but the requirements for IS Academy are quite high. If a student fails to pass, not only will they not graduate, but they will be expelled if they repeat a grade twice. This applies to women from wealthy and powerful families as well.

(How boring. I don't know how long I'll have to wait in line. It feels like the line hasn't moved at all. I really don't know if I'll ever get to the front of the line today.) Shinonono Houki is genuinely bored right now. Unlike other women who have a strong desire to change their fate, she doesn't have much of a desire for this.

(Something came up on my end, so I have to go to IS Academy.)

(Huh?! What's going on?!)

Upon seeing Li Wei's message, Shinobu Houki was stunned. Because IS is a weapon that only women can activate, IS Academy only accepts female students. Seeing this news, she was somewhat taken aback.

(After we parted ways, I planned to wander around, but because I wasn't familiar with the area, I accidentally entered the venue and got lost after many twists and turns. Then I saw a few ISs in standby mode, so I curiously went over to them, and somehow, I started one of them.)

(Li Weijun, are you sure you're really a man?)

(Um... I really don't have a way of proving this that a minor can accept, but I can confirm that I am indeed male.)

Whether someone is male or female can be determined simply by looking at their ID card; of course, showing their ID card would be even simpler and more direct.

(Isn't IS only something women can activate? Can men start it now?)

(My situation must be special, which is why the IS Academy asked me to report to the academy. If I didn't go, who knows what other trouble might have been waiting for me.)

Shinobu Houki could understand it, since no one would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.

Even she herself finds it hard to believe, but Li Wei isn't one to talk nonsense, so although this matter is absurd, she still believes it for the time being.

A strange sense of reluctance welled up in Shinobu Houki's heart. If Li Wei went to IS Academy, she would no longer be able to see him. Although IS Academy was not a completely closed management system, students still had limited time to go out, which she knew very well. Therefore, if Li Wei entered the academy, the time she would have to see him would be much less.

(Huroi, do you know anything about IS Academy?)

Upon seeing Li Wei's message, Shinonono Houki felt somewhat conflicted. As Shinonono Tsukasa's younger sister, she actually knew more about IS than others, because her older sister would message her from time to time, asking her what type of IS she liked, as if she wanted to have a custom-made IS set made for her.

However, during this time, her sister messaged her saying that she was going into seclusion to tackle the previous technical difficulties, so the two of them haven't been in contact for a while. Although at first she felt that it was finally peaceful, now she inexplicably misses her sister Shinono no Suzuka's slightly nagging voice.

(I'll give you a basic understanding, but it's a bit complicated to explain these things in writing. We'll discuss it in detail when we meet later. IS Academy is quite in-depth.)

What Shinonono Houki didn't know was that all the information she knew was obtained from IS Academy through hacking. IS Academy's level of confidentiality regarding internal information 4 was actually at the military level.

(Okay, see you later. IS Academy is quite troublesome; it's hard to refuse even if you want to.)

Shinonono Houki glanced at Li Wei's reply and curled her lip. IS Academy is a legitimate multinational organization with a very high status. It not only has an independent and huge financial channel, but also has exaggerated military power. No major country dares to turn against IS Academy. This is the confidence that allows IS Academy to act independently.

The long queue moved slowly forward. Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Shinonono Houki arrived at the testing site. Under the instructions of the staff, she entered the sealed room where the IS armor for testing was located. Under the watchful eyes of many staff members, she stood in front of the IS for testing.

Beside them, staff members held portable devices for reading data, and there were also dedicated personnel responsible for compiling statistics from the tables.

"Hou, please put your hand on it," the supervisor said.

Houki Shinonono nodded and placed her hand on it. The IS, which had been in a dormant state, was instantly activated, emitting a faint glow.

"Synchronization rate of %, an excellent synchronization rate." The staff member holding the portable data monitoring equipment unconsciously raised his voice. A synchronization rate exceeding % is considered excellent, and Houki Shinonono's synchronization rate reached over % %, placing it in the top tier.

Chapter 1. The Strongest Connections

The supervisor smiled at Xiaozhizhihou and said, "Congratulations, young lady. Your synchronization rate is excellent. We have already entered your information into the academy's admissions system. You will definitely be admitted. Please leave your contact information and wait for the start of the semester."

Shinonono Houki was still a little dazed. She couldn't believe that her synchronization rate could exceed 90%. This was an achievement that not everyone could have, and it felt somewhat unreal to her.

"So I've been accepted?" Houki Shinohara said in disbelief.

The supervisor smiled and said, "That's right, you've been accepted. With a synchronization rate of over 90%, you're definitely in the top tier. Such a result is outstanding."

Of course, the supervisor didn't say that the synchronization rate was just a threshold, and Shinobu Houki was also very clear about the various courses she would face after entering the academy. Her older sister, Shinobu Tsukasa, had already revealed a lot to her, and she also had a considerable understanding of IS Academy.

After leaving the sealed room, Shinonono Houki returned along the same route and arrived outside the venue. Behind her were a large number of women waiting in line to participate in the test. Shinonono Houki felt that this was somewhat cruel. Most of the people here came with hope, but their results would mostly be disappointment. IS Academy was a typical place with strict entrance and exit requirements, and not just anyone could be admitted.

After leaving the venue, Houki Shinonono contacted Li Wei, and the two met at a coffee shop.

Sitting in a booth by the window, the two began to exchange their experiences. Houki Shinonono didn't have much to say; she obediently waited in line, took the synchronization test, and received the news that she had been accepted on the spot.

Li Wei's story, on the other hand, was quite legendary. After he told her, Shinonono Houki was stunned.

"This is too bizarre! Besides you, another man also activated IS? It's unbelievable that two such extreme cases have suddenly appeared..." Houki Shinohara said with her arms crossed.

Shinobu Houki picked up the steaming hot coffee, took a small sip, and then revealed a "pain mask" expression.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Coffee is a drink for adults. For you, I think milk tea and juice would be more suitable."

Shinobu Houki picked up the sugar cube jar next to her, picked up several sugar cubes and put them into the cup, then poured in some milk before carefully taking a sip. The abundant sweetness neutralized the original bitterness of the coffee.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Even among adults, not many people like plain coffee. Without sugar, you're just torturing your taste buds."

Houki Shinonono gave a disgusted look and said, "Does anyone really like plain coffee?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "Of course there is. Although I don't really like it, many people in Europe and America like plain coffee without any additives. They like the bitter and rich aftertaste. I personally prefer tea, of course, the Chinese-style modern tea brewing, not the Japanese tea ceremony."

Although the Japanese-style tea ceremony is closer to the ancient tea ceremony than the modern tea brewing in Japan, it is very complicated and does not have any advantage in terms of taste. Therefore, complicated tea ceremonies are rarely seen in Japan. For people, no matter how expensive the tea is, the brewing method is not much different from that of ordinary tea. It can be said that tea is a beverage that is not much different for people of all social classes, whether they are rich or poor.

Shinobu Houki said, "If I didn't want to waste food, I would really like to order another fruit milk. When I get back, I'll tell my father and mother that I was accepted today. I think they will be happy for me."

Houki Shinobu doesn't feel any psychological burden right now, because Li Wei will also be going to IS Academy. She won't be alone in the academy, which makes her feel that even the unfamiliar environment of IS Academy is nothing to be afraid of.

Li Wei said, "This is indeed a good thing. After all, in this era, being able to enter IS Academy is like starting a successful life. As long as you can get through these few years, you'll be a winner in life."

Shinobu Houki said, "It's alright. I don't expect to become a pilot. There are far more applicants than available spots in IS armored vehicles. Most ordinary students don't have the opportunity to become pilots. Even if they graduate, they become logistics personnel or tactical support personnel. The number of pilots who are actually on the front line is pitifully small compared to the number of support personnel."
