Cecilia said, "Women's minds aren't so easy to understand, and the academy is very strict about bullying. No one dares to go too far in this regard. We're just helping some stubborn girls who are strong-willed to face their true feelings."
Although Cecilia is from England, her aristocratic education made her unlike typical English women who are conservative. In many ways, she is more like a French woman, passionate, decisive, and accustomed to being herself.
Chapter 1. The Genie's Doppelganger
Li Wei did not heed the two girls' urging. After all, his current public image was what it was, and the benefits of breaking that image now would be too small. Naturally, he would not do such a foolish thing.
The two girls left with disappointed expressions, and Li Wei turned his attention to Orimura Natsumi. Orimura Natsumi had just finished her night run, found a bench to sit on, and stared blankly at the bright night sky. The cold wind blew on her sweat, and she couldn't help but shiver, feeling even more depressed.
"Sigh... Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang? If it weren't for Li Wei, I would be the only male in the academy, and I would definitely be noticed by everyone, and even pursued by many girls. If it weren't for that guy, my school life would be so colorful, everyone would be around me, and all the flowers and applause would be mine!"
Orimura Natsumi's expression twisted. The dazzling starry sky seemed to mock him, each star a reminder that he was a loser.
Looking at the impotently furious Orimura Natsumi, Li Wei found it quite amusing, but also wanted to complain. The other party was already in such a state, yet she still didn't give him any points. He didn't know whether to say that Orimura Natsumi's mental fortitude was strong or weak.
However, as the saying goes, if you have the conditions, you should go for it; if you don't have the conditions, you should create them. Since Orimura Natsu herself was full of malice towards him, she didn't mind being the villain. In fact, she was a villain to begin with.
Li Wei decided to play the role of a personal old man, letting Orimura Natsu experience the feeling of having a real cheat code. Then, at a crucial moment, he would trick Orimura Natsu, letting him see what the wickedness of the world is like.
Li Wei was an incredibly efficient individual. In a short time, he had already figured out what he should do. After using his magic to conjure the props he was going to use, he began his actions.
As Natsumi Orimura watched, a star in the sky suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which grew brighter and brighter and fell toward him.
"A shooting star? A meteorite?!" Natsumi Orimura realized that the thing was getting closer and closer to her, so she decisively got off the bench and fell to the side.
With a muffled rumble, Orihana felt some dirt fall on his back. He turned around and saw that a crater had been made in the lawn behind the bench. He got up and walked over, and saw what was in the crater: an ancient yet ornate oil lamp. The lamp was quite exquisite in shape, just like Aladdin's lamp.
"I can understand a meteorite falling from the sky, but what's with the oil lamp falling from the sky?" Orimura Natsumi was completely confused. He picked up the oil lamp, which looked to be only the size of a palm, but it was heavier than he had expected and felt very heavy.
A bizarre thought suddenly popped into Orimura Natsumi's mind. He felt that this oil lamp might be some kind of treasure. With that thought, he wrapped the oil lamp in his clothes and quickly returned to the dormitory building and went back to his room.
After returning to his room, Natsumi Orimura, disregarding the discomfort of his sweat-soaked body, hurriedly took out the oil lamp and placed it on the coffee table.
Orimura Natsumi swallowed hard, her expression serious as she placed her hand on the side of the oil lamp and began rubbing the side of the lamp with her palm. The outer wall of the oil lamp was very smooth, and it made a creaking sound when she put her hand on it.
Before long, the oil lamp began to tremble, detached from Orimura Natsumi's hands, and floated into the air. At the same time, blue smoke began to emerge from the spout of the oil lamp. The smoke solidified in mid-air into a human figure. This human figure had a face full of oriental charm, with a high nose, deep-set eyes, a long beard, and an ornate white turban wrapped around his head. However, his lower body was different from that of ordinary people; it was composed of shimmering smoke.
This blue humanoid figure is a temporary clone created by Li Wei. Li Wei named this clone "the Genie". When creating this clone, in order to prevent Orimura Natsumi from associating this disguise with her original body, he deliberately sculpted her face into the appearance of an Easterner.
After appearing, the genie's clone pretended to look around, then mumbled something in Arabic. Seeing the bewildered expression on Orimura Natsu's face, the genie's clone's fingers turned into smoky tentacles and touched Orimura Natsu's forehead. A few seconds later, the genie's clone said in Japanese, "You are my master? I never thought I would drift to such a far place."
Natsumi Orimura snapped out of her daze, her face filled with ecstatic joy, and said in a trembling voice, "You're the genie who can grant three wishes?!"
The genie's clone crossed his arms and laughed, "That's right, I was indeed able to grant the three wishes of the person who found me before. I am the genie."
Although Natsumi Orimura was overjoyed, he hadn't lost his mind yet, so when he heard the details of the genie's words, his heart skipped a beat and he began to worry.
Orimura Natsumi said, "...Is it possible that you, Genie, are no longer able to grant your master's wish?"
The genie's clone said, "I really can't do that now. My original self is still powerful, but external shackles interfere with my abilities, making it impossible for me to make my wishes come true."
Natsumi Orimura wasn't a hopeless idiot. He understood the meaning of the genie's clone. The genie's clone's own power hadn't diminished, but it had lost the ability to make wishes due to external interference. As long as the external interference was removed, the ability to make wishes would be restored.
Orimura Natsumi asked, "How can I restore your ability to make wishes?"
Orimura Natsumi was extremely anxious. He wanted to change his current predicament and become the leading man in the spotlight. Now that he finally had a chance, he was told that the opportunity was gone. It was only because he had a good attitude; otherwise, he would probably have started smashing things in frustration.
The genie's clone said, "I understand how you feel, but you can't remove this shackle with your current abilities. If you're willing to wait, I will break this shackle in ten years. Right now, making a wish is impossible. Of course, I still possess a weak ability to cast spells, and I can help you in some ways. I will absolutely not leave you until I fulfill your three wishes."
Hearing the words of the genie's clone, Natsumi Orimura felt at ease. Although he couldn't use the power to make wishes yet, the genie's clone still possessed certain magical abilities. This was equivalent to having a weakened version of Doraemon by his side. He finally had a convenient way to accomplish things, and at the same time, he finally had a way to take revenge on Levi.
Li Wei, through his genie clone, sensed Orimura Natsu's thoughts and revealed a mocking smile.
Chapter 4. The Master Deceiver
At this moment, Natsumi Orimura had already developed a desire for revenge. Even though the power of the genie was limited, retaining even the most basic abilities would still allow her to do many things.
Natsumi Orimura asked, "Genius, how much do you know about modern technology?"
The genie's clone said, "My understanding is quite limited. My knowledge of modern technology is based on your knowledge. Unless I start learning from now on, my understanding of modern technology will be limited to the information I obtain from you. According to the timeline, the last time I was activated was four years ago. A young Austrian man wished to me to bring a future to his country. Unfortunately, his ambition was too great, and he wasted three wishes."
Upon hearing the words of the genie's clone, a slightly deranged figure appeared in his mind. He realized that this seemingly harmless genie possessed the power to change the course of history, and that misuse of this power would bring devastating disaster to the entire world.
Orimura Natsumi said, "Isn't that young man short, with a small mustache under his nose?"
The genie's clone looked surprised and said, "It seems that little fellow has made a name for himself in history; even an Easterner like you knows him."
Orimura Natsu wanted to complain in her heart, "The mustache is arguably the most famous person of the 10th century, the leader of the demons who started the war, and is known as the most evil person in the world. There is no one like him."
As a male, Natsumi Orimura often engages in online political discussions, so he is quite knowledgeable about various events that occurred in the 10th century. It is said that the man with the mustache was obsessed with the occult and even sent an expedition to search for the legendary Ark of the Covenant. At the same time, during World War II, the German Empire developed all sorts of bizarre black technologies. These products, which were ahead of their time, have mysterious origins. Many people are curious about the origins of these black technologies, but there are many different opinions about their origins, and there is still no definitive conclusion.
Natsumi Orimura finally understood why the man with the mustache was so obsessed with the occult. If even a being like the genie was real, then there must be other extraordinary beings lurking in the shadows. And the Empire's chaotic black technology might very well be related to the genie before him. He even suspected that the limitation on the genie's power might be related to World War I.
The brainstorming in her head was unstoppable; Orimura Natsumi had already come up with a script that could be made into a 30-episode spy drama, and it even included supernatural powers and cutting-edge technology.
Orimura Natsumi asked, "Can I know what wishes the previous person who made a wish made?"
The genie's clone shook his head and said, "I can't tell you that. Although you are my temporary master, our master-servant contract will end when the wish is fulfilled. You are not my true master. I will keep the wishes of my previous masters and even their personal identities a secret."
In reality, Li Wei hadn't figured out how to answer Orimura Natsumi, and it wasn't very believable to suddenly say three wishes, so he simply used this reason to refuse Orimura Natsumi. Moreover, this explanation could create more mystery, and even if something went wrong on the genie's side, it would be easier to justify it.
Orimura Natsu was somewhat disappointed; he had almost solved the mystery of history. However, he thought that he would have the genie's help for a long time to come, which was a good thing. He wasn't stupid; he knew that the current situation was, in a sense, most advantageous to him. Once the genie's power was restored, no matter how big or small his wish was—perhaps just a simple request—it would be considered a wish and granted by the genie.
Therefore, he was going to study the three wishes for ten years from now carefully, so that when the genie's power was restored, he wouldn't be so clueless as to not even know what he wanted to wish for. And now, he could use the genie's power to do some things.
Natsumi Orimura said, "Genius, I need you to monitor someone for me. You've read my memories, so you should know who I hate the most, right? Monitor him, and report any unusual behavior to me directly. If possible, use a hidden camera to secretly film his daily life, preferably capturing his slovenly and unsightly side."
The genie's clone said, "I'll give it a try. If the other party is an ordinary person, this kind of thing is very simple for me. However, if you want to secretly film him with a pinhole camera, you have to give me the pinhole camera first. I can't do something like creating something from nothing right now."
Li Wei had an idea: to turn the tables on Orimura Natsumi. Since she wanted to use the power of the genie's clone to film his daily life, he could use the same method to deceive her with false information. Orimura Natsumi would never have imagined that the so-called genie was actually just a puppet clone of his.
Natsumi Orimura inwardly wanted to complain. This genie couldn't even do something like this now; he was incredibly weak. However, considering that the genie's power was currently suppressed, it was understandable that he couldn't do such a thing. The ability to monitor individuals without them noticing was already terrifying. Why should he ask for more? Being too greedy would easily bring divine retribution.
Natsumi Orimura said, "When I have my vacation, I'll go out and try to get a hidden camera. Once I get it, I'll have to ask you for help. I think you should have a way to make yourself invisible to ordinary people, right?"
The genie's clone said, "Although my power is currently restricted, it is very easy for me to make myself and some small creatures invisible."
With a wicked smile, Orimura Natsumi said, "I hope you can film him taking a dump, preferably from the angle where he looks his worst, and then I'll release the video. I want to socially destroy him."
Looking at the lewd smile on Orimura Natsu's face, Li Wei didn't know how to comment. He didn't expect that the other party would want to do such a thing with a pinhole camera. This was really boring, but it was also quite in line with Orimura Natsu's personality. She was quite the repressed pervert.
As an extension of his consciousness, the genie's clone could control his limbs and expressions well, so as not to give himself away in front of Orimura Natsumi. If it were his real body standing here, he was afraid that he would end up like the two policemen in "The Mermaid," unable to control his laughter.
Chapter 1. Human Relationships
Li Wei stopped paying attention to Zhiban Xia. Anyway, there was a separate thought process controlling the genie clone, which wouldn't take up too much of his "total bandwidth". He was already used to this "split personality" state. He could play with both his own main perspective and the independent perspectives of each clone.
In the days that followed, Li Wei's life was very uneventful. Every day consisted of training, grinding simulation time, and cultivating his relationship with Cecilia and Houki Shinonono. Soon, Li Wei had accumulated ten hours of simulation time.
However, Li Wei completed the ten-hour simulation in just half a month.
After completing the simulated training, Li Wei took his training materials to the office of his homeroom teacher, Chifuyu Orimura.
After knocking, Li Wei heard a voice inside calling him to come in, so he pushed open the office door. At that moment, Chifuyu Orimura was reviewing a paper document, which contained Li Wei's itinerary recorded during his ECHO surveillance, detailing what he had done during that time.
As Chifuyu Orimura looked at the contents of the document, she sighed inwardly. Li Wei possessed a perseverance that ordinary people did not have. He could be said to be an outstanding young man, far superior to her good-for-nothing younger brother.
During this period, Li Wei spent all his spare time on various kinds of training and exercises. This is how Li Wei's beast-like physique was forged. Moreover, Li Wei completed the simulation training in just half a month without affecting his daytime classes and actual training. This experience alone is amazing enough.
Chifuyu Orimura even wondered if Li Wei's flesh and blood were made of steel, like the Terminator in the movies. After all, human energy is limited, and it's impossible to excel at everything. Even she, who was seen as a monster by the outside world, couldn't maintain the same level of intense training as Li Wei.
"Did I disturb you, Chifuyu-sensei?" Li Wei did not approach Chifuyu Orimura rashly, but stood at the office door, waiting for her to speak.
"No, that's not true. It's already after class. Did you come to see me because of something?" Chifuyu Orimura put the paper documents on her desk into her drawer. After all, most students were unaware that the academy was monitoring them, and the few who knew about it wouldn't talk about it because of their interests or gag orders. Therefore, sensitive documents like these were not suitable to be revealed to students, especially the document on her desk, which was Li Wei's surveillance report. It would be even more embarrassing if the person in question saw it here.
Li Wei stepped forward, placed the materials he had printed at the training center on the desk, and said, "I have completed ten hours of simulated flight training and am now applying for a spot on the actual flight."
Chifuyu Orimura already knew about this through the surveillance footage, but she had to pretend she didn't know. She picked up the materials on the table and quickly browsed through them. Li Wei's mock exam results were outstanding, with all subjects passing with an A grade. There were no weaknesses at all, which was a very rare achievement.
Chifuyu Orimura exclaimed, "Your perseverance is the best I've ever seen among all the trainees. Without it, an ordinary person would probably have died of exhaustion long ago with this amount of training."
Li Wei said, "I just wanted to meet the requirements of the actual test as soon as possible, so I increased the amount of training. I am very clear about my limits."
Chifuyu Orimura said, "You must not be so willful in the future. You are the only man in the world who can activate the IS armor. You need to know your worth. If this happens again, I will arrange a special training supervisor to monitor you and make sure you don't overtrain."
Li Wei said, "Thank you for your concern, teacher. I understand. So, will my grade pass?"
Chifuyu Orimura said, "Your application has been approved. I will help you register your information. You are the best pilot I have ever seen. Although you have not finished your training yet, I have a feeling that you may become the 'world's strongest' in the future."
Chifuyu Orimura felt that her judgment of people was quite good. The achievements of the students she had trained were almost exactly as she had predicted. And Li Wei's perseverance and talent so far could be described as top-notch. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it was only a matter of time before Li Wei became a top pilot.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
Building connections requires considerable time and investment. Of course, this investment requires keen foresight—judging who has potential and who is mediocre through one's own abilities. Chifuyu Orimura was very confident in her judgment; she was certain that Li Wei had a bright future, so extending an olive branch to him at this time would certainly not do any harm.
Chifuyu Orimura's obsession with building connections is actually a way of protecting her family. After all, the power of connections is immense. She is not only the world's strongest pilot, but also has a large number of admirers in IS armored forces in various countries. With such a network of relationships, even if someone wants to scheme against her and her family, they must be prepared to be retaliated against.
..
Li Wei is very important to her, after all, Li Wei's future achievements are limitless. If she can maintain a friendly relationship with Li Wei, then she will have more leverage to rely on. In case her good-for-nothing brother gets into insurmountable trouble in the future, she will also have a strong ally who can break the deadlock.
Li Wei said, "Thank you for your encouragement, teacher. I'll head back now."
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Chifuyu Orimura said, "Wait a minute."
Although Li Wei had read Chifuyu Orimura's thoughts using his mind-reading ability, he pretended not to know and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, teacher?"
Chifuyu Orimura said, "Li Wei-kun, you and Natsumi Orimura are the only men in the world who can activate IS armor, so you are very eye-catching. I think the intelligence databases of all parties should already have information about you."
Li Wei said, "Teacher, you can be more direct. I'm not one to beat around the bush."
Chifuyu Orimura was surprised by Li Wei's directness and said, "Okay, what I wanted to say was, could you please take care of Natsumi Orimura?"
Li Wei said, "Is it because Orimura is your younger brother, teacher?" (Laughs)
Chapter 1. Gradually Distorted
Chifuyu Orimura wasn't surprised and said, "It must have been Houki who told you. We used to be neighbors, so she knows a lot about me."
