Li Wei continued, "Actually, I really like you, teacher. I feel very lucky to be assigned to your class. I'm lucky to be able to see your face up close every day. This is probably one of the biggest gains I've made since coming to the academy."

"You...you..." Yamada Maya could barely speak. She hadn't expected Li Wei to say something so bold. Like her? Li Wei actually said he liked her! This made her panic. She didn't know what kind of liking Li Wei meant, but her heart began to race uncontrollably, her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and her mind began to race.

Chapter 4. A Minor Accident

Maya Yamada took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She realized that her emotions were completely being manipulated by Li Wei, like she was on a roller coaster. She wanted to regain control of the conversation and at least not let Li Wei lead her by the nose.

Maya Yamada had a very good first impression of Li Wei, and from the beginning until now, Li Wei had demonstrated what it meant to be excellent in both character and academics. He was completely different from the other male student, Natsumi Orimura. There were many girls in the academy who had a crush on Li Wei, and some girls even had a cold war because of him.

It can be said that Li Wei is like the perfect man in women's hearts. Not only is he handsome, but he is also excellent in academics and personality. His gentle personality is like that of a gentleman in ancient China, which has great appeal to women, especially young girls. Many of them have become Li Wei's little fans, and they even call him "Lord Li Wei" behind his back.

Maya Yamada herself was naturally unable to resist Li Wei's charm. Li Wei sat in the front row, and during class, it wasn't just Li Wei admiring her; she could actually see him out of the corner of her eye as well. However, because of her shyness, she would only glance at him before looking away, afraid that Li Wei would notice her little actions.

Little did she know, Li Wei was much bolder than her. She only glanced at Li Wei secretly, while Li Wei stared at her openly, without making any attempt to hide it.

Maya Yamada said with a serious expression, "Li Wei, your gaze makes me a little uncomfortable. I'm not saying I dislike you, but your gaze makes me feel pressured."

Li Wei said, "Does staring at you put pressure on you, teacher? Oh, that's how it is. That's a pity. To avoid affecting your teaching, I will control myself."

Li Wei's words relieved Yamada Maya, but also left her feeling somewhat disappointed.

But when Yamada Maya came to her senses, she found that Levi's gaze was even more intense and sincere.

"Li Wei, what's going on?" Yamada Maya asked, somewhat puzzled.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I won't be able to watch you after class starts, so of course I have to enjoy the anime properly now. After all, I promised you that I wouldn't affect your concentration during class."

Maya Yamada felt a little helpless, but she couldn't bring herself to dislike Li Wei at all. In particular, Li Wei's warm smile made her feel like she was facing the warm spring sun, making her feel warm both physically and mentally.

Maya Yamada heard a buzzing sound, and Levi suddenly reached out to her, his hand passing over her shoulder and making a sharp snap behind her.

Startled by the sudden attack, Yamada Maya lost her balance and leaned forward, ending up in Li Wei's arms.

"Ah!" Yamada Maya exclaimed softly.

Li Wei caught Yamada Maya in his arms, but at the same time his footing gave way and they both fell to the ground. Li Wei used himself as a cushion to protect Yamada Maya.

Maya Yamada lay on top of Li Wei, supporting herself on his firm chest muscles with her hands, and sat on his waist and abdomen, standing up.

"Li Wei, the teacher is going to get angry." Yamada Maya said that she was angry, but her heart was very complicated. There was even a hint of smugness and excitement. The physical contact made her shyness take over again, and a blush appeared on her face.

Li Wei opened his hands, and Yamada Maya saw between Li Wei's palms a large wasp that had been flattened. She understood what had just happened.

The wasp remains between Li Wei's palms were quite large; if stung by such a large wasp, it would be no small matter.

Maya Yamada sat on Li Wei's lower abdomen and said somewhat angrily, "Li Wei, how could you pat a wasp with your hand! What if you get stung? These wasps are very poisonous. If you get stung, it will hurt for a very long time, and it will also affect your training."

Li Wei tossed the wasp remains in his palm aside and said, "I can't just watch the wasps come towards you, Teacher, and do nothing, can I? You said yourself, Teacher, that being stung by something like this can have serious consequences. Teacher Wan said you got stung, so I'll have to feel sorry for you."

Li Wei's words warmed Yamada Maya's heart. In that situation, if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been as decisive as Li Wei in helping her out. She wasn't a combatant with keen senses, so when she heard the strange buzzing sound behind her, she didn't realize it was the sound of a wasp. If Li Wei hadn't acted in time, the wasp might have already landed on the back of her neck and given her a good beating.

Maya Yamada placed her hands on Li Wei's chest and said seriously, "Don't do such foolish things again. I know you're worried about your teacher, but you can't put yourself in danger because of something like this. Many people have high hopes for you. If your learning efficiency is affected, then it's my problem."

Maya Yamada tried to stand up, but found that her left ankle was a little sore. After standing up, she took a step forward and her body tilted to the side.

Just then, Li Wei, who had just stood up, reached out and grabbed Yamada Maya's wrist, pulling her back so that she could lean against him.

Li Wei looked at Yamada Maya's ankle. Although he cushioned her fall, preventing her from hitting the ground directly, she had still inadvertently twisted her ankle, and now her left ankle was swollen.

Li Wei picked up Yamada Maya in a princess carry and said, "Teacher, your foot injury needs to be treated immediately."

"Put me down quickly, what if other people see us!" Yamada Maya's face was already flushed. She didn't expect Li Wei to pick her up, and in such a shy way as a princess carry.

“So what if we were seen? Now it’s your ankle that’s injured, teacher. I need to take you to the school clinic first to get your ankle treated,” Li Wei said.

“But I still have class next period, and I have to go back to class,” Yamada Maya quickly said.

Li Wei tightened his grip on Yamada Maya's hand, looking at her adorable face, and said, "But teacher, how can you teach in your current condition? If you force yourself to go back to class, it might make your leg injury worse, delaying the treatment and then wasting even more time to recover. The delay will only be longer."

Maya Yamada was speechless after Li Wei's words, because Li Wei was telling the truth: if the ankle injury wasn't treated quickly, it would only delay things further.

Chapter 4. Senior and Junior

Li Wei said, "I'll take you to the school clinic now. If there's no other teacher to cover the next class, then we can have it as a self-study session."

Li Wei knew that the crazy girl in the class wasn't very interested in academic subjects. They were only there for the IS armor, so they were always very excited during practical training sessions. But during academic classes, they all looked like wilted eggplants, listless and dispirited.

Although saying this might hurt Yamada Maya's feelings, that crazy girl really doesn't like academic subjects. Only Chifuyu Orimura can manage them. As for Yamada Maya, she's still a bit lacking. The students only see her as an easy-going older sister next door, not as their assistant homeroom teacher.

Yamada Maya couldn't persuade Li Wei otherwise.

Maya Yamada said, "Could we carry it on our backs? If we go to the school clinic, we'll have to pass through the classroom area. If the students see us, it'll be a problem."

Although Maya Yamada is a very easy-going teacher, she also knows that as a teacher, she must maintain her dignity and not show any inappropriate behavior in front of her students. If the students saw her being carried in Li Wei's arms, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.

Li Wei said, "Okay, then I'll carry you over there, teacher."

Li Wei put Yamada Maya down, then carried her on his back, gently pushing her up to prevent her from slipping off, and headed towards the school clinic. Yamada Maya made a phone call to the office, and Orimura Chifuyu offered to cover a few classes for her, though the quality wouldn't be as high. After all, Orimura Chifuyu was a practical training instructor, not a general education teacher; given the mismatch in their specialties, she could only guarantee that the subsequent classes wouldn't turn into self-study sessions.

Listening to their conversation on the phone, Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly. He thought the students would probably scream with excitement when they saw Chifuyu Orimura enter the classroom to teach them academic subjects. Something like that happened on the first day of school.

As soon as Chifuyu Orimura appeared, her little fans went wild. If Chifuyu hadn't pointed out that the camera was watching them, they probably would have already surrounded her and asked for her autograph.

Li Wei could feel the soft yet imposing headlights pressing down on his back. Although Yamada Maya was petite and gave off a "tiny" feeling compared to the slender Orimura Chifuyu, in terms of headlights alone, Orimura Chifuyu was no match for Yamada Maya. Especially since Yamada Maya was not as tall as Orimura Chifuyu, the larger headlights appeared even more majestic against the backdrop of her slender waist.

As Li Wei carried Yamada Maya past the classroom area, he saw Orimura Chifuyu standing above them at the corner of the stairs.

Chifuyu Orimura crossed her arms, a gentle breeze blowing her long hair. With her back to the light, she resembled an angel in a painting, exuding an indescribable sense of holiness.

"You're such a grown-up, and you still managed to sprain your ankle. I'm amazed," Chifuyu Orimura sighed.

Yamada Maya said somewhat embarrassedly, "It was just a little accident. However, if I hadn't twisted my ankle, I would have gone to the school clinic anyway. The pain from being stung by a wasp is no less than that from twisting your ankle."

Chifuyu Orimura said, "You guys go to the school clinic first. I'll cover your two classes for the rest of this morning. Li Wei, you stay at the school clinic and take care of Maya. Thank you for your help."

Li Wei nodded and said, "No problem. Teacher Maya was injured because of me, so taking care of Teacher Maya is my duty."

Chifuyu Orimura walked down and said as she passed the two, "After school at noon, I will bring two bento boxes from the cafeteria. You two can just stay in the school clinic."

"Thanks, senior," Yamada Maya said with a smile.

Looking at Chifuyu Orimura's dashing figure, Li Wei sighed inwardly. Some women, when they're cool, are no less so than men. Chifuyu Orimura's coolness wasn't just ordinary; it was a kind of "coolness" similar to Virgil from Devil May Cry. No matter what situation she encountered, she could calmly and composedly deal with it. This composure and reliability gave her a kind of cool beauty that transcended gender.

Li Wei said, "Ms. Maya, you call Ms. Orimura 'senpai'. Are you two alumni of the same school?"

"Yes, my senior is a few years ahead of me. I've always been trying to follow in her footsteps and become as amazing as her, but I don't have her talent and can't stand by her side and fight alongside her. But just standing behind her now, helping her out, is enough for me," Yamada Maya said with a smile.

Li Wei could sense that Yamada Maya felt no jealousy towards Orimura Chifuyu, only undisguised admiration and adoration. Being able to work with her admired senior was something that made her happy, and she was quite satisfied with her current life.

Li Wei sighed inwardly. Yamada Maya was a genius. Compared to ordinary people, she was indeed quite knowledgeable. Unfortunately, she didn't have any talent for piloting IS armor. Otherwise, she would have been more than just a liberal arts teacher.

After saying goodbye to Chifuyu Orimura, the two went to the school clinic. The beautiful school doctor there had Li Wei put Maya Yamada on the bed. All three school doctors in the clinic were now Li Wei's people. After all, the school clinic was a very important institution, and Li Wei would not let the school doctors drift away from his intelligence system. Moreover, all three school doctors were rare beauties, so he wouldn't lose out either way.

After the school doctor applied medicine to Maya Yamada's ankle, he also gave her some painkillers with sedative ingredients, and Maya Yamada fell into a deep sleep.

After school, not only Chifuyu Orimura came to the school clinic, but Cecilia and Houki Shinonono also came with her.

When the three of them pushed open the door to the school clinic, they saw Li Wei sitting next to the hospital bed, holding a drawing board and carefully sketching on it with a pencil. However, due to the angle, none of them could see what Li Wei was drawing.

Chifuyu Orimura walked to the bedside, placed the two bento boxes on the bedside table, and said, "Luckily, one of the bento boxes I brought was a cold dish. I'll leave the cold dish for Maya. Li Wei, what did the school doctor say?"

Li Wei stopped painting and said, "It's nothing serious. With the medicine, he should recover in a day."

In reality, Maya Yamada's ankle would normally require a week of rest, but because Li Wei secretly repaired it with his magic, it only took a few days.

Chapter 1. Yamada Maya's Past

Chifuyu Orimura saw what Li Wei was drawing on the easel, lowered her body slightly, and showed a curious expression.

Cecilia also came up behind Levi, and even Chifuyu Orimura showed that same expression. Naturally, he was also curious about what Levi had drawn.

Cecilia saw the contents of the paper clearly. It was a very peculiarly shaped longsword with a very slender blade. From its length and the proportions of the hilt, she deduced that the length of this sword was far beyond what an ordinary person could handle.

"This is... a weapon intended for use by IS?" Cecilia asked uncertainly.

Shinonono Houki, who was standing nearby, said, "This is a nodachi. It feels a bit cumbersome to use this as a close-combat weapon for armor."

Although Cecilia is a skilled melee fighter, the weapons she is familiar with are all European. Unique Asian weapons like the nodachi are beyond her knowledge. The Japanese knives she is most familiar with are the regular katana and tachi, while she has only heard of the nodachi, a strange weapon whose practical combat ability is not very strong.

Li Wei said, "I want to have this weapon custom-made by the school's technicians. The armor-piercing blade currently used in the armored vehicle is too short for me and not very convenient to use."

Chifuyu Orimura said, "In IS armor combat, melee weapons can be said to be the last line of defense. Using melee weapons usually means that all of your defenses have been breached and you have been forced to fight to the death. Weapons like nodachi are not as practical as spears and long-handled lances. If all else fails, a German two-handed greatsword is more practical than this."

Chifuyu Orimura herself is a master of cold weapons. Even if she doesn't know how to use most common cold weapons in Asia, she is quite familiar with them. In her opinion, the nodachi is a ceremonial sword, more for show than for practical use. People who can use it in actual combat have been very rare throughout history. As for large swords, she recommends the German two-handed greatsword and the Okinawa zanmaya sword. At least these two large swords are easier to wield and less troublesome to handle.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, teacher. Although I also like two-handed greatswords, I have unique techniques for using nodachi, and without this weapon, it would be difficult for me to defeat Cecilia."

Chifuyu Orimura glanced at Li Wei, then at Cecilia, and said, "Private fights are strictly forbidden in the academy. You two brats better not cause me any trouble. I don't want to clean up your messes."

Cecilia said, "Don't worry, teacher, we will apply for the venue properly. This is not a private fight, but a fair contest. I want to defeat Levi."

Chifuyu Orimura said, "As long as it's not an illegal private duel, I need to know how much time is left before the duel starts so I can apply for airspace for you."

Cecilia said, "There are still seven days left. It should be enough time to start applying now, right?"

Chifuyu Orimura nodded and said, "Two days in advance is enough, seven days is plenty of time, I will apply to the council. However, Li Wei, if you want to forge a weapon, this time is a bit tight. I can help you customize this weapon, but you will owe me a favor."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Of course, then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

There are many of Li Wei's people in the Technical Equipment Department. Even without Chifuyu Orimura, it would be a simple matter for Li Wei to order a weapon there. However, since Chifuyu Orimura wants him to owe her a favor, he will just go along with it. After all, owing favors is a way to promote relationships.

Although Yamada Maya is very cute, her sleeping posture is quite terrible. In front of the four people, she kicked off the blanket, but because she kicked off the blanket with her injured left foot, the pain in her ankle made her frown slightly, and she mumbled incoherently in her sleep.

Cecilia lay down by the bed and gently poked Yamada Maya's cheek with her finger, but Yamada Maya did not react at all.

Cecilia laughed and said, "Maya-sensei is already cute enough normally, but I didn't expect her to be even cuter when she's asleep. I really want to take a picture of her sleeping, but that would be impolite, so I can only dream about it."

Cecilia's excellent upbringing has given her a higher moral standard than most people. For example, her inner morality would not allow her to take pictures of others without their permission.
