Both Levi and Cecilia were surprised to hear Houki Shinonono's blunt and undisguised words.

Houki Shinonono said, "My family runs a kendo dojo, so I've met quite a few men. It's very common for men to learn kendo to become stronger and more masculine. As for this guy, considering that he's a relative who even has to take care of the academy, he's probably a pampered young master who's never lifted a finger and has no idea about the hardships of life."

Li Wei wanted to laugh inwardly. The two girls were trying to deduce Charlotte's information based on incomplete data, and the results they came up with were becoming increasingly outrageous. However, Li Wei just found it amusing and didn't laugh at their ideas, because not everyone could have a god-like perspective like him.

Li Wei said, "Judging by appearances is not a good habit. We can only know what kind of person someone is after we get to know them. I need to go to the chairman's office now and take that person to their dormitory. After all, they are students and are not familiar with the college. If we leave them alone, it would be bad if they got lost."

Cecilia said, "After picking them up, go back to the dorm and rest. Chifuyu is super strict in class. If she catches you not in good spirits, you'll be punished."

Li Wei smiled and nodded, placed the empty plate in the sink, and then left the cafeteria.

Chapter 1. Boy? Girl

Li Wei did not linger outside. After leaving the cafeteria, he rode his electric scooter to the main office building, left the scooter in the parking space, and entered the building. He found the chairman's office with ease.

After knocking properly on the door and waiting for a response from inside, Li Wei entered the office.

Upon entering the office, Li Wei's eyes met those of the chairman. Li Wei then communicated with the chairman through telepathic communication.

The chairman handled the previous matters well, and Charlotte did not doubt the academy's arrangements.

When Levi entered the room, Charlotte was secretly observing him. Tall and handsome, Levi resembled a great hero from ancient Greek mythology, possessing an indescribable masculine beauty. Just standing there, he was impossible not to notice.

Li Wei said, "Chairman, I have already received the notification. This must be Xia Er. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Charlotte didn't hesitate when Levi extended his hand and took it. Levi's palm was slightly rough, giving her the feeling that it belonged to someone who exercised regularly. Although Charlotte also exercised regularly, she was, after all, a girl, and she hadn't neglected to take care of her body, so her hands were still very delicate.

Li Wei feigned surprise, raised an eyebrow, and looked as if he was about to speak but then hesitated and closed his mouth.

Li Wei said, "In the coming period, I will help you familiarize yourself with everything in the academy. I hope we can get along well."

Charlotte felt uneasy. She didn't know if the tall, handsome boy in front of her had seen through her disguise or simply had a problem with her. But either way, it was going to be bad for her.

Li Wei said, "Xia Er, it's lunch break time now. If you haven't had lunch yet, I'll take you to the cafeteria. If you've already had lunch, then we'll go straight back to the dormitory. This afternoon's classes are practical training classes, so you don't need to attend any classes for now. You have the afternoon to familiarize yourself with the campus environment. Of course, I'll stay by your side to make sure you don't get lost within the campus."

Every freshman class at the academy gets lost, as the academy's internal environment is quite complex. Even senior students and teachers dare not say they fully understand the academy. Most students and teachers only have access to the surface area. As for the underground part of the island, less than 10% of the entire academy has access to it.

Although Charlotte had obtained a map of the Academy's ground area before arriving, it was a very rough map, and the Academy would not tolerate the leakage of sensitive paper documents.

Before Charlotte could answer Levi's question, her stomach rumbled, answering for her.

Li Wei raised an eyebrow and said, "Then let's go to the cafeteria first."

Li Wei took Charlotte to the cafeteria, where they had lunch, and then took her back to their dormitory.

Because of Charlotte, Levi also got the privilege of resting in the afternoon. So, instead of taking a nap, he watched Charlotte open her luggage and put all sorts of clothes into the wardrobe.

Charlotte noticed Levi's gaze and felt a little shy, but she maintained a calm demeanor and said, "Levi, why are you staring at me? Is there something strange about me?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "There's nothing strange about it, but I just think you're a little too delicate, Charles. Even if you wore girls' clothes and didn't wear makeup, it wouldn't look out of place. Although it might be a bit rude of me to say this, Charles, you really do look like a girl."

Charlotte was startled. She hadn't expected Levi to be so perceptive, noticing her unusual behavior on their very first meeting.

Charlotte said somewhat embarrassedly, "This appearance is what my parents gave me, and I can't change it. This isn't the first time people have told me I look like a girl."

Charlotte felt a pang of bitterness. If she could, she would also like to enter the academy openly as a girl, but she had her own reasons. Her current false identity as a man was her shield, but once this shield was exposed, she would face a life-threatening situation. The matriarch of the Denoa family would not tolerate the existence of her, an illegitimate daughter with the right to inherit the family business.

Because of the emergence of IS armor, and after the White Knight incident, more and more women in the elite class have gained real power, and the Denoa family is one such family.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

The Denoa family's succession order prioritizes women, and Charlotte's current use of a male false identity means she has virtually no right to inherit.

However, if she regains her female identity, her right to succession will immediately rank her within the top three, which would be a real threat to Somanaya, the current head of the Denoa family.

To ensure her own rights, Somanaya would not hesitate to send "professionals" to assassinate her. It was with this in mind that Charlotte felt some fear when Levi revealed her secret.

Li Wei said, "I understand. Appearance is something you're born with, unless you have plastic surgery. But I can't see any signs of plastic surgery on your face. You were born looking like a girl, and there's nothing that can be done about it. But then again, not only do you look like a girl, but your voice is also very similar to a girl's."

.........

Li Wei wanted to laugh inwardly, because Charlotte's voice actress in the real world was a famous "Hyogo Kita," who, along with Yao Ming and Kim Jong-un, was known as one of the three most mesmerizing smiles in Asia.

Although Hyogo Kita's memes are widely circulated, to be honest, his talent as a voice actor is absolutely undeniable.

Charlotte's disguised boyish voice was actually quite sexualized, but Levi had an omniscient perspective, which is why he could so easily reveal her secret.

Charlotte placed her hand on her throat, where a fake human skin Adam's apple was located. It wasn't an easy thing for a woman to pass as a man convincingly.

In the real world, there are many low-quality period dramas that feature women disguised as men. But to be honest, those period dramas are insulting to the audience's intelligence. Anyone with eyes can tell that it's a woman disguised as a man, but the characters in the story act like idiots and can't tell at all.

Charlotte's cross-dressing skills are, technically speaking, extremely high. If one didn't know Charlotte's background, the person in the photo would appear to be a handsome young man with an effeminate air.

It's hard for ordinary people to imagine that this would be a loss for a young girl.

Chapter 1. Charlotte's Clumsy Disguise

Looking at Charlotte's embarrassed expression, Li Wei said, "You have to maintain your confidence within the academy. Although bullying is officially prohibited, there are always ways around the rules, and it's impossible to completely eliminate such things. So you must maintain your confidence and assertiveness to protect your dignity and interests when faced with unreasonable demands."

Charlotte nodded. She wasn't some naive fool who knew nothing; on the contrary, due to the internal strife within her family, she had a very clear understanding of the wickedness of human nature. In this unfamiliar IS Academy, she had very few people she could rely on. The chairman, because of her father, would naturally side with her, and Li Wei, who was entrusted by the chairman to take care of her, was naturally reliable. As for others, she couldn't trust them for the time being.

Charlotte said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful."

Charlotte is a very sensitive person. Being in a relatively harsh environment for a long time has taught her a lot about reading people and even enabled her to do some very mysterious things in this field, such as sensing whether others have malice towards her.

This perceptive ability is quite comprehensive. It can not only act as an early warning radar on the battlefield, but also discern people's hearts in daily interpersonal interactions, knowing who is truly good to her and who wants to harm her.

Although Li Wei's words seemed somewhat strict, she knew that he meant her no harm. He was teaching her how to live here, and it never hurts to know more about such things.

Although Charlotte is now disguised as a boy, her girlish delicacy cannot be hidden. Li Wei watched her busy in the dormitory. The dormitory, which was originally a typical male dormitory, became warm and cozy after some small decorations were added.

Li Wei watched Charlotte's retreating figure, his eyes narrowing slightly. Although Charlotte was currently wearing a men's uniform, it still couldn't hide her waistline, which was a weakness in her disguise. As a girl, she wasn't a muscular "Nezha," so she couldn't possibly pull off the shape of a men's uniform. Therefore, her uniform had been modified to a certain extent, making it more form-fitting, but also emphasizing her waistline. It was truly difficult for her to disguise herself as a boy with that kind of feminine waist.

What Li Wei found most unacceptable was that Charlotte had wrapped her chest in a bra! It completely restricted her headlights, which gave her a slight advantage over her peers, and it was such a waste!

Li Wei has no plans to have children, so the issue of feeding a child is not a concern. However, doing things this way will affect future development, and restricting himself like this for a long time will also lead to chest tightness, shortness of breath, weakness, and fatigue, which will have a significant negative impact on his health.

Charlotte completed the room's decoration and layout in no time. With just a few additions, the entire bedroom became vibrant and no longer as dull as it had been when Levi lived there alone.

Li Wei was simply lazy. He did know a thing or two about architecture and interior design, since the School of Painting was right next to the School of Architecture. He learned a lot just by auditing classes, and with his own further study, he became quite knowledgeable in this field.

Charlotte is a girl whose refinement is ingrained in her very being. He could sense this from the details. Of course, this refinement comes from strict self-discipline and a self-reliance that seeks inner strength, rather than superficial and vulgar refinement. Li Wei did not dislike this aspect.

After Charlotte closed the room decorations, she realized that she had been a little too excited. This was not just her private space; her roommate, Li Wei, was also there. Changing the dormitory layout without Li Wei's permission might anger him.

Thinking about this, Charlotte felt uneasy, afraid that Levi would develop a bad impression of her because of this.

Li Wei, who was skilled in mind reading, naturally noticed Charlotte's anxiety. It must be said that a real boy wouldn't be so conflicted, because men, compared to women, tend to be more careless and can easily dismiss such matters.

However, Charlotte was, after all, just a boy in disguise. Although she had studied psychology for this purpose, this short-term crash course made it impossible for her to imitate the behavior of a normal man properly.

Li Wei said, "This room was so dull. I've wanted to redecorate it for a long time, but it's been a hassle, and I also have a tendency to procrastinate, so I haven't started yet. Now that you've redecorated this dull room, I think it looks pretty good."

Charlotte was taken aback. She hadn't expected Levi to see through her embarrassment and not mind her actions, which warmed her heart.

Li Wei certainly wouldn't care about such things. After all, Charlotte was his intended partner. Who would care about his lovely wife's little thoughts? He found her girlish behavior quite adorable.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I'll be more careful about things like this in the future."

Li Wei knew that Charlotte had always lived alone and had not received any special treatment because of her status as an illegitimate child. It could be said that she was a very independent girl, with a gentle exterior but a strong interior, and she had her own unique charm.

However, Charlotte's father didn't dare give her any special treatment. If she were a boy without inheritance rights, she could live the life of a wealthy young master; the head of the Denoa family, Somanaya, could turn a blind eye to such things. But Charlotte was a girl, with high-order inheritance rights. If her father hadn't concealed her existence, she wouldn't be alive today.

Li Wei found this "polar reversal" quite comical. For a long time, Europe was a traditionally patriarchal society, where males were the first in line for inheriting noble titles, and women only considered after a male was no longer eligible. However, due to the White Knight incident ten years ago, women's rights rose, and in this ancient land of Europe, the priority of inheritance for nobles and property shifted from men to women.

Anything that goes from one extreme to the other is never a good thing. Compared to extreme thinking, Li Wei prefers "mediocrity." Of course, mediocrity is very complicated to explain. It is not what ordinary people understand as taking a middle value, or a path that is perfectly balanced. Mediocrity is a kind of just-right "appropriateness." A certain great man once unconsciously adopted this way of thinking when implementing his strategy, solving problems in a pragmatic way.

Currently, Europe has essentially ruined itself by playing the politically correct card, while feminism, after gaining absolute dominance, has betrayed other sub-clauses within the same camp. The various sub-clauses of LGBT have suffered greatly. Life under traditional patriarchal rule was already difficult, and the change of leadership has only made things worse.

Chapter 1. Cecilia's Pitying Gaze

Since there were no classes in the afternoon, Li Wei took Charlotte around the school on an electric scooter, allowing Charlotte to quickly familiarize herself with the school environment.

The two went to the training ground and watched the trainees conduct practical training from afar.

Li Wei asked, "Shall, have you had any contact with ISIS before?"

Charlotte shook her head and said, "I only came into contact with IS by accident recently, and the machine was activated inexplicably."

Charlotte felt a little guilty. She hadn't told Levi the truth. In fact, she had been in contact with IS for quite some time, but her father, in order to protect her, forbade her from logging into the actual machine for training. She could only conduct simulation training through a virtual machine.

IS armors all have network connectivity. Every time a user activates the armor, they leave behind their activation traces and body data. This is the underlying framework logic of the armor's simple AI adapting to the user, which is an unchangeable part. However, there are no completely airtight walls in the world, and such traces can easily expose the user's existence. In order to prevent Charlotte's information from being leaked, her father dared not let her use the actual machine for training.

Denoa Heavy Industries is a large industrial group that produces IS armor, but all they can do is produce various frames and additional equipment. They do not have enough ability to decipher the core of the IS armor, so no one but Shinonono Tsukasa can crack this underlying framework.

This can be considered a backdoor to the IS armor core. Through this method, Shinonono Tsukasa can easily collect the body material of all IS armor pilots in the world.

Li Wei understood Charlotte's predicament, so he wouldn't dwell on it. He said, "I'm the same as you. I only came into contact with the IS armor in the last few months. After all, no one would know that men can also activate the IS armor."

Charlotte looked at the IS armored vehicles flying through the sky and said, "As one of the male pilots in the world, Levi, are you proud of this?"

Levi looked at Charlotte. This girl was sensitive, and the questions she asked were difficult to answer. Although Levi knew Charlotte's doubts through mind reading, he still felt that she was a bit reckless for actually asking the question.

Li Wei said, "There's nothing I can't do if I want to do it. I'm telling you, I'm completely calm and have no other thoughts. Do you believe me?"

Charlotte was surprised, but she maintained a calm expression and said, "That's really strange. This is like winning the lottery for an ordinary person. You can remain completely calm. Li Wei, you're no ordinary person."

Li Wei said, "Although it sounds a bit like self-praise, I have indeed surpassed ordinary people, so common sense is not appropriate for me."

Li Wei's words were a way of giving Charlotte a heads-up, so that no matter what happened in the future, Li Wei would have a suitable explanation when Charlotte asked.

Charlotte was somewhat surprised. She had dealt with many people, all sorts of people, and she had seen plenty of confident people, but she could count on one hand the number of people she had seen who were as confident as Levi, to the point of being almost blind.

However, when she saw Li Wei's genuine expression, a ridiculous thought suddenly popped into her head: maybe Li Wei really is strong?

Why was Li Wei chosen as her guide, and not someone else? Furthermore, the way Li Wei spoke to the chairman didn't seem like a student and principal; it was more like two adults of equal status exchanging ideas.

Charlotte realized she had discovered a blind spot: Levi was indeed extraordinary! If Levi were just an ordinary student, would the chairman have sent him here? The more Charlotte thought about it, the more something seemed off, and the way she looked at Levi changed.
