Cecilia said, "If your goal is to win the next class competition, I suggest you try training in air combat. The competition uses real aircraft, while the simulated combat environment is very complex, involving land, sea, and air. You need to adapt to the combat styles of three environments to consistently win the competition. When Levi is training, you can do online training with him, which will benefit you."

Looking at the other person's serious expression, Houki Shinonono was somewhat intimidated by his aura and said, "Thank you, I know what to do."

Cecilia laughed and said, "You're welcome. After all, a healthy competitive environment is very rare for me. I need more worthy opponents to hone my skills and become a true national representative as soon as possible, instead of being a mediocre candidate like I am now."

Cecilia also has her own career aspirations. She wants to become a proper national representative because the Alcatel family is currently facing a difficult environment. If she can become a national representative, she can deter those who covet the family's assets and even expose the people behind the scenes.

Unlike other aimless people, Cecilia had a clear goal from the beginning, and she steadfastly carried out her plan, moving step by step toward her goal. However, her plan encountered some changes. The appearance of Levi brought a different color to her life, and she realized that she had reached the age where she needed to find a partner.

Li Wei said, "Then let's cheer each other on."

After dinner, Li Wei returned to his dormitory to rest for a while. He wasn't in a hurry to train, since his training was just for show; he just needed to make up the ten hours of simulation time. He focused his attention on his researcher avatar, which had been working day and night on modifying the crystal weapon. If a normal person were doing such high-intensity work, they would have died of exhaustion long ago.

However, thanks to the dedication shown by the researcher's clone, the Chongguo government has obtained the fully modified first-generation crystal weapon. In the coming period, the military will conduct in-depth performance tests on the crystal weapon to test the strength of the final version.

It takes time for a weapon to go from testing to deployment. Although the relevant departments have given the green light and the production line will start as soon as the final version is finalized, it will still take at least six months to achieve an absolute numerical advantage over IS armored vehicles.

The advantage of crystal weapons is that they are easy to mass-produce. At the same time, the production line is much smaller than that of IS armored vehicles, which makes them easier to hide. The military can hide the production line in underground military fortresses deep in the mountains, thus preventing the crystal weapons production line from being attacked.

The researcher's clone has already created an opportunity for Li Wei's main body to contact the domestic authorities. This way, his main body can legitimately access official power, which will make it easier for him to do certain things.

After all, Li Wei's main body also wanted to use the crystal weapon legitimately, so contact with domestic official forces was inevitable. Otherwise, if his main body took out the crystal weapon, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from the domestic authorities, or the researcher's clone would be suspected.

Li Wei didn't intend to discard the researcher's avatar at this time, so it was inevitable that he would make reasonable arrangements for his main body to contact the country.

After staying in the dormitory for a while, Li Wei left and sent a message to both Shinobu Houki and Cecilia using ECHO.

Each student in the college is given a miniature personal terminal, ECHO.

This thing is like an enhanced personal computer. In addition to having all the functions of a mobile phone, its performance is more powerful than that of a handheld computer like an iPad. However, this thing is also a monitor, which monitors the trainees' actions in real time. As long as you carry it with you, you can't escape the surveillance.

However, for Li Wei, escaping this thing's surveillance would be very simple, but there's no need for it now. Besides, the people reading the data in the background are all his people, so he doesn't even need to put on a show.

IS Academy requires every student to carry this device with them at all times. Removing it will be considered espionage. Even during holidays when students are out, they cannot remove the device. If the device is not on their person, they will be secretly monitored upon returning to the academy, and may even have to deal directly with people from the academic affairs office and intelligence department.

The IS Academy is a militarized institution, and the knowledge it teaches is inherently highly sensitive. In addition, it possesses a large amount of classified information that is not suitable for public disclosure. Therefore, it is understandable that it takes a more extreme approach to security measures.

Chapter 1. Simulation Training

Less than two minutes later, Li Wei saw Cecilia coming out of the entrance; she came down even faster than Houki Shinonono.

Cecilia saw Li Wei and quickened her pace instantly, running over and grabbing Li Wei's arm.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." Cecilia clung to Levi like a koala, completely losing her previous aloofness.

Looking at Cecilia's beaming face, Levi shifted his arm slightly and whispered, "We're probably not that familiar yet, are we?"

Li Wei could sense Cecilia's feelings, but as a "I want it all" playboy, he knew how he should act in this situation.

Cecilia laughed and said, "Of course, I know we're not as close as you and Houki are, but that's how friendships start, isn't it?"

Li Wei said, "Well, I've always heard that the people of Ying are reserved and introverted. You give me the feeling of a sister looking at her countrymen, with a kind of fiery passion."

Cecilia said, "You're right. Most people in England like dry humor and a bit of repressed sarcasm, but such an environment often breeds a small number of incompatible people. I really dislike that kind of atmosphere. Whether you're happy or sad, like or dislike, you should express it when you need to, instead of keeping everything bottled up inside. That's what I like."

Li Wei said, "So, you came to IS Academy with the intention of fleeing?"

Cecilia said, "Pretty much. You know, I was born into an aristocratic family, so I can't avoid a lot of social interactions. The social environment I face is very hypocritical. Everyone wears a fake social mask. After a while, you feel suffocated in such an environment. Maybe you think I'm being pretentious, but that's how I feel."

Cecilia was a little worried that Levi would think she was a difficult person to get along with because of this, but some things had to be said first. Being in a relationship means accepting each other's imperfections, so she would gradually show Levi her true self at the right time.

If Li Wei can accept her imperfections, that would be ideal. If Li Wei cannot accept her, then she should withdraw in time to complete the great cause of family revival.

After all, compared to the uncertain nature of relationships, as long as she works diligently step by step, the revival of her family is within reach. Although the Orcat family is not in decline now, and although its strength has shrunk considerably compared to its peak, it is still not to be trifled with. The revival she wants is to make further progress beyond its peak strength.

Li Wei said, "I've had similar experiences to yours. However, social interactions between people, especially those with preconditions, inevitably require wearing masks. There's no way around it. To be honest, it's quite uncomfortable to stay in such an environment for a long time."

With his mind-reading ability, Li Wei naturally knew Cecilia's concerns, so he would never intentionally step on a landmine. Cecilia would never know that he understood her far more than she imagined. This was no longer just a matter of kindred spirits, but a complete and utter defeat.

Cecilia looked surprised and said, "You think so too?!"

Li Wei said, "Cecilia, things are alright on your end, it's just that the social interactions in the aristocratic circles seem hypocritical. But on my end, I have to deal with hypocritical people in my daily life. The interpersonal relationships in Chongguo are very complicated."

Li Wei felt he was actually quite lucky. The people he met in his social circle were all pretty good, even after he came to Japan to study. Although life inevitably involves encountering some toxic people, overall, the people he met were relatively kind and easy to get along with. Even when he used his mind-reading ability to probe into other people's hearts, he didn't find any acquaintances harboring dark thoughts about him. After all, Japanese people are notoriously hypocritical, and it's common for them to be two-faced. The fact that he was able to meet so many good people was, in a way, even less likely than winning the lottery.

Cecilia said, "Are interpersonal relationships in Chongguo really that terrible?"

Li Wei said, "After all, it's a populous country. With so many people, there are all sorts of people, so the probability of encountering relatively troublesome people is higher. I've become numb to this kind of thing."

Having had a similar experience, Cecilia felt that she and Levi had found common ground; she felt that they both disliked insincere social niceties.

Just then, Houki Shinonono, who had changed into her driver's suit, walked out of the lobby. Houki Shinonono saw Cecilia holding Levi's arm, while Levi had a helpless smile on his face. She could roughly guess what had happened, but she was no longer going to lose her composure over such things.

Shinonono Houki came up to the two of them and said, "Sorry, I overslept. I came down as soon as I saw your message, Li Weijun."

Li Wei said, "I just left here too, let's go out now."

The three of them boarded the electric cart and arrived at the training hall in just a few minutes. The training hall was located in the core area of ​​the artificial island, and although it was already sunset, it was still brightly lit. When the three arrived, quite a few people had already started training, but they didn't have to wait in line. Because it was the beginning of the school year, the simulator training machines weren't too crowded, and the three of them found an empty machine with the help of the staff.

The training simulator and the real IS armor are similar in most places, so all three of them changed into close-fitting pilot suits before coming.

The IS armor's form-fitting pilot suit looks somewhat like the pilot suits in EVA, both being completely form-fitting designs. Women wearing them can fully showcase their figures. Of course, if one's figure isn't good enough, wearing such a pilot suit would be an embarrassing sight.

Li Wei entered the simulator and soon received two communication links from Cecilia and Houki Shinonono. After the three simulators connected, they were automatically considered as a team.

The three entered a virtual space. Cecilia began her virtual combat training, while Levi practiced low-altitude flight and observed Cecilia's simulated combat. As for Houki Shinonono, he diligently practiced ground obstacle courses, occasionally glancing up at his two teammates training above him. Time passed slowly in this way.

After three hours of training, Cecilia and Houki Shinonono were both exhausted, especially Cecilia. Although the enemies in the simulation battles weren't too strong, she always had to fight multiple enemies, and the conditions for victory were very demanding. So after three hours of training, she was drenched in sweat, and the fluid circulation system in her pilot suit was almost overloaded.

Chapter 1. A Twisted Heart

When Orimura Natsu went out for a night run, she saw Li Wei and his two companions returning together. Looking at Li Wei standing in the middle, surrounded by two beautiful girls, Orimura Natsu's resentment instantly returned. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She had originally thought that entering an environment full of girls would bring her a wonderful, erotic life, but now it seemed she had been completely delusional. Li Wei was the absolute protagonist, and she was merely a supporting character to highlight him.

Nobody likes being a supporting character; everyone wants to be the protagonist. Orimura Natsumi grew angrier the more she thought about it, but this was a place where strength spoke for itself, and she couldn't do anything to Li Wei.

Even if he loathed Li Wei, what could he do? Beat Li Wei up? Looking at Li Wei's muscular body encased in his pilot's suit, Orimura Natsumi thought for a moment. If a direct physical confrontation were to occur, his chances of winning would be very small. Although he had practiced swordsmanship, a physique like Li Wei's was far from ordinary. Swordsmanship was no match for Li Wei.

Orimura Natsumi came up with another idea: to ruin Li Wei's reputation. If she could discredit Li Wei and even make him a public enemy among women, then Li Wei's days at the academy would definitely not be easy.

At that time, the girls will realize that although he, Natsumi, is indeed not as good as Li Wei in various abilities, he has a good character. If that's the case, maybe some girls will be interested in him and let him have a romantic and fulfilling life, instead of just looking at Li Wei with envy and jealousy as he is now.

Natsumi Orimura felt he had to change this situation. He had to reclaim his initiative as the protagonist, otherwise he would be forgotten by everyone. Even his sister, Chifuyu Orimura, who was hailed as a living legend, would stop paying attention to him and instead focus on Li Wei.

Such a future terrified him. He had never been so afraid before. He felt that this was the greatest possibility of failure he had ever faced in his life. If Li Wei were to secure the position of the male lead, he might not even be able to play a minor role. He would only become a tragic background character, or a bystander, a voice actor who would narrate while Li Wei and the beautiful girls laughed and played around.

Natsumi Orimoto didn't want such a future, and he absolutely didn't want to face such a situation, so evil thoughts rose in his heart. He decided to embarrass Li Wei, preferably by destroying his perfect image in front of a girl.

Of course, doing such a thing is not easy, but as long as he tries to find an opportunity, there will always be one. After all, there is no such thing as a thief who can be on guard against a thief for a thousand days. As long as he acts friendly, Li Wei will not suspect that he has any malicious intentions. Once he has lulled Li Wei into a false sense of security, he can take advantage of the other party's trust and do something bad in secret to embarrass Li Wei.

In a flash, he composed himself and walked up. Since this was the entrance to the lobby, he would inevitably run into the three of them if he went out. If he turned back here, it would only make him look guilty. In order to mislead Li Wei and also to prepare for his future plot against Li Wei, he wanted to build a good relationship with Li Wei.

Filled with an intense, unyielding malice, Orimura Natsumi smiled at the three and said, "You guys are really working hard. Why are you wearing pilot suits?"

Li Wei could sense Orimura Natsu's evil intentions, and through his mind-reading ability, he knew all of Orimura Natsu's dark thoughts. However, he didn't care about any of that. After all, from the beginning, Orimura Natsu had no chance of succeeding in her schemes. To be honest, it was quite ridiculous for an ordinary person to try to scheme against a Qi cultivator like him.

Li Wei said, "We just came back from the training hall. There are simulators there that can be as realistic as possible, but that's nothing to you. You have your own mecha and can do real training directly. The training hall is of no value to you."

Natsumi Orimura felt a sense of pride. Although he was not comparable to Levi, he was still the only male in the world who could use IS armor, so it was normal for him to receive certain preferential treatment within the academy.

Natsumi Orimura glanced at Houki Shinonono out of the corner of her eye, her heart filled with malice. So what if Houki Shinonono was better than her? She had a special machine, while Houki Shinonono, the more outstanding student, did not. This privilege gave her a sense of pleasure.

When Orimura Natsumi first saw Shinonono Houki, he was initially pleasantly surprised. However, when he saw Houki next to Li Wei, his thoughts changed. He couldn't wait to see Houki suffer, preferably trip and fall as soon as she stepped outside, ending up disfigured. What he couldn't have, he wouldn't let anyone else have, especially not someone like Li Wei, who was so popular.

Orimura Natsumi said, "...But speaking of which, Li Wei-kun, don't you also have your own dedicated machine? Why do you still need to go to the training hall?"

Orimura Natsu cursed inwardly. She didn't have any close friends here, so she was unaware of the training facility's situation. If Li Wei hadn't mentioned it, she probably wouldn't have known for a while. Shinonono Houki was a fickle, cheapskate. He was supposed to be her childhood friend, but now Houki had thrown herself into the arms of another man, and this man even had other girls interested in him. In her eyes, this was utterly shameless. And to make matters as important as the training facility, that slut hadn't even informed her.

Li Wei said, "Isn't it because Houki doesn't have her own dedicated machine? If she doesn't go to the simulation training hall, she can only train alone. If I go, I can train with her."

Looking at the radiant smile on Li Wei's face, Orimura Natsumi felt an overwhelming surge of jealousy. Especially when she heard Li Wei's words, Shinonono Houki actually showed a shy, girlish expression, which made her jealous to the point of almost losing control.

When she was a child, Shinonono Houki could only be described as pretty. Although she was a beauty in the making, she hadn't fully grown up yet and still had a strong boyish air about her. Moreover, Shinonono Houki had short hair at the time, making her look like a delicate boy.

However, now, in just a few short years, Shinobu Houki has become so beautiful that when he first saw her, his heart pounded wildly as if it were about to burst out of his chest. He felt that he had met the soulmate of his life. Who knew that this soulmate belonged to someone else? The huge gap broke down his psychological defenses and made him begin to become twisted.

Chapter 1. I'm very good at massage.

After exchanging a few more words, they passed each other. Shinonono Houki twisted her shoulders and said, "I feel like the simulator training and kendo practice are just as physically demanding. My shoulders are so sore."

Li Wei said, "I also have some knowledge of massage. I'll give you a massage in a bit. People who study martial arts are very familiar with the meridians of the human body. No matter which school, there are massage techniques for unblocking the blood vessels in the human body, and the effect is quite good."

Shinobu smiled and said, "Thank you then. There are muscle relaxation methods in Kendo, but without the help of others, the effect is not very good."

Cecilia said from the side, "My training volume today was also a bit excessive. Since you're an expert in massage, Li Wei, could you please give me a massage as well? Please."

Cecilia started acting cute, and when Houki Shinonono saw this, his heart sank. He knew things were going badly; Levi would definitely find it hard to refuse her request, and this guy had beaten him to it.

Natsumi Orimura, who hadn't gone far, overheard the three's conversation. Her previously steady steps faltered, and she almost fell. She turned around, looked at the three's backs, and cursed Li Wei viciously in her heart, wishing him a happy ending for trying to have his cake and eat it too.

What Orimura Natsumi didn't know was that being able to clearly hear the conversation of three people at such a distance was actually quite abnormal; it was because Li Wei had used a little magic that he was able to hear clearly.

However, Orimura Natsumi, blinded by anger, did not realize this.

Cecilia and Houki went upstairs and went back to their rooms to take a shower. After showering, they came down to Levi's room and asked him to give them a massage.

After all, none of them lived alone, so if Li Wei were to enter their rooms, he would have to consider his roommates' feelings. Li Wei was, after all, a male, and it wouldn't be very appropriate for him to enter the upper floors where everyone was female. Fortunately, the toilets in the college's public areas were all single stalls, so there had never been any embarrassing incidents because of the toilets. However, since the upper floors of the dormitory were the female students' private domain, there were plenty of girls running around in their pajamas. It was precisely because of this consideration that Li Wei wouldn't easily go upstairs, even though the girls were still hoping he would come up.

After taking a shower, Shinonono Houki and Cecilia entered the elevator in their bathrobes and pressed the button for the floor.

Looking at Cecilia's mature-looking pajamas that subtly revealed her figure, Shinonono Houki remarked, "These are truly adult-style pajamas."

Cecilia proudly raised her head slightly and smiled with pride: "Of course, only adults can pull off adult-style pajamas."

Cecilia crossed her arms, making her headlights appear even more majestic. Seeing this, Houki Shinonono could only grit her teeth inwardly. She wanted to complain that her peers from Europe and America all seemed to be on steroids, with figures far superior to their Asian counterparts. Whether it was the size of their headlights or their curves, they were incomparable to their Asian peers. She could only envy them.

Houki Shinonono said, "Cecilia, you have such a great figure, do you have any secrets to maintaining it?"

Cecilia said, "I just enjoy exercising, and that's how I got this physique. Houki, you have a great physique too. It's clear that you put a lot of effort into your workouts."
