Whether in Japan or Europe, there are sayings like "love makes women more attractive," but this is more of a romantic rhetoric, and the reality is quite different.

Shinonono Houki said, "The effects of cosmetics are really that good? I've also been to the beauty salons within the academy, and the effects were so-so. If they were really that amazing, there would be long queues of people waiting for them. Besides, Maya-nee only recently experienced this change, so the claims about cosmetics and beauty salons are unfounded."

Cecilia said, "That's right, and Maya smiles during class. Although she used to smile a lot, this smile is different. It's a smile that comes from happiness, and what else can a woman have to be happy besides love?"

Houki Shinonono said, "Exactly, exactly! Maya-neechan must be in love, that's why she had that smile. And there are only three men in the academy. Excluding that disgusting guy Natsumi Orimura and that new student Ciel Denoah, the biggest suspect is you, isn't he?"

Both girls showed expressions of resentment. While they were fighting fiercely, they never expected that someone else would steal their thunder, and that this person was their teacher, who was nearly ten years older than them.

Cecilia said with a resentful look, "I didn't expect you to like older sister types, Levi. Damn it, I lost!"

Li Wei knew that if he let the two girls continue talking, his "I want them all" statement might cause unexpected complications.

Li Wei said, "If you're really curious about this, I can tell you the secret to how Maya became beautiful. But this isn't the place to talk. Let's go to the beach after school this afternoon."

"Okay!" the two girls said in unison, both wanting to know what had happened.

The day flew by, and soon it was time to leave school in the afternoon. After the practical training class, the three of them went to the cafeteria for dinner, then went back to their dormitories to clean themselves up and wash off the sweat. They then met at the dormitory entrance and went to the beach.

Li Wei and the two girls walked side by side on the beach. The waves kept washing over the sand, and the sea was up to their ankles. As the tide receded, hollows appeared in the sand beneath their feet. If they didn't move, it would be easy to lose their balance and fall into the sea after a while.

Cecilia looked at Levi and said, "Now you can tell what's going on, right? Are you really in a relationship with Maya-neechan?"

Li Wei didn't rush to answer the question. Instead, he reached out and placed his hands on the two girls' slender waists, applying slight pressure until both girls leaned into his arms.

Cecilia and Houki Shinonono were caught off guard by Levi's sudden attack. The two girls faced each other and could see the surprise on each other's faces, as well as the blush that appeared due to shyness.

Chapter 4. Forced to Show Their Hands

Sensing the two girls' shock, Li Wei said, "You guessed right. My relationship with Maya is just as you think, and Maya will become even more beautiful, and that is indeed because of me."

Cecilia felt a little disappointed, but forced a smile and said, "I never thought I would lose to the teacher. Both Houki and I lost."

Li Wei said, "Why did you lose? Did you think you were already out of the game? It's far from over yet."

Shinobu Houki said, "But Li Weijun, you already have Maya-nee, so what are we? Although there's still a chance if we're not married, do you think we're shameless enough to do that? Being able to maintain basic composure and still offer my blessings to Maya-nee is already my limit."

Shinonono Houki's eyes were a little red. As a martial artist, she had a stronger ability to control her emotions than most girls her age, but this situation had exceeded her limit.

Li Wei said, "I will not abandon any of you. Although it may sound domineering and shameless, this is my true thought."

Li Wei tightened his grip, feeling the burning heat of the two girls' bodies, and said, "I never make choices, because I always want it all."

Cecilia pinched Levi's waist; girls are naturally adept at pinching soft flesh.

Cecilia sighed and said, "I don't have any aversion to this kind of thing, but life always presents us with choices we have to make. You can't have it all just because you want it. For example, Levi, how do you plan to convince my parents?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "Of course I have a way. Since I said I wanted them all, I will naturally keep my word."

Li Wei wasn't worried about such things at all. The girls around him were important characters in the story who were favored by fate, so he naturally wouldn't use mental magic on them, since it could easily cause some negative effects.

However, these girls' families didn't receive the same treatment. If he wanted, he could turn them into yes-men who would obey his every word at any time. It was precisely because of this that Li Wei didn't care about such issues.

To others, Cecilia's parents were powerful and high-ranking nobles, people that ordinary people rarely met. But to him, Cecilia's parents were ordinary people he could easily manipulate.

For Li Wei, things like wealth, power, and status are meaningless; in his eyes, they are all just ordinary people.

Some secrets cannot be told even to those closest to him. After all, these secrets are the foundation of Li Wei's reputation. He can only selectively reveal some less important information to his partner, such as cultivation techniques and floating islands. As for more, it depends on the situation.

Cecilia said, "You said it yourself. If things go wrong, you'll be the one cleaning up the mess."

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Cecilia made a decision instantly because she couldn't find a more outstanding male of her age than Levi, and she believed that Levi was no ordinary person with unlimited potential.

Unlike the simpler Houki Shinonono, Cecilia, who comes from a powerful family, has a clear plan for her future. She has already figured out how to get Li Wei to marry into her family. With Li Wei's excellence, it would actually be easy to get past her parents.

However, Li Wei's words made Cecilia feel uneasy. Her parents were very pragmatic people. Li Wei was indeed very outstanding, so outstanding that he surpassed everyone else, but her parents would not allow Li Wei to have any women other than her. Even if she could accept it, she would not be able to get past her parents' objection. After all, the powerful and wealthy value face the most, and such a thing would make them lose face.

Li Wei said, "Have some faith in me. After the match with Laura, I'll ask for leave to go to Europe and confront Cecilia's parents. They'll definitely agree to our relationship."

Cecilia was still somewhat worried after hearing Levi's words, and said, "Do you want me to come with you? If you're alone, as long as you explain your purpose, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get in the door and will be kicked out."

Cecilia considered herself a relatively easy-going person, but her parents held very traditional aristocratic views, making them quite old-fashioned. They considered themselves superior to others, and Cecilia feared that Levi would clash with them because she knew he was actually a very proud person inside.

When two proud people meet, there are likely to be two extreme situations: one is that they appreciate each other and live in peace, and the other is that they can't stand each other at all and are like mortal enemies.

Li Wei said, "There's no use talking about this kind of thing. You'll only believe the facts when the results come out. It's the same with Houki. I'll handle all the issues properly, and it's also time for you to know some things, some things about the future."

Li Wei used the same trick again, revealing his fabricated future to the two girls. After demonstrating his extraordinary power, the two girls were stunned and believed his story.

The original crisis involving the woodcutter's knife was resolved satisfactorily thanks to Li Wei's firm approach. However, the fact that things went so smoothly was also due to the fact that Li Wei had already raised the two girls' favorability to an extreme level beforehand. Originally, Li Wei planned to win over the two girls one by one in an orderly manner, but who knew that the matter of Yamada Maya would lead to this step ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, the problem was resolved before it could escalate, and Li Wei didn't end up like Cheng Ge, who suffered a fatal blow.

In Li Wei's opinion, if Cheng Ge had been braver and more responsible, even if he had insisted on having them all, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to arrange relationships with all the girls around him. Unfortunately, Cheng Ge was too passive and cowardly, unable to treat all his girls equally, and thus he tragically met his end.

In reality, viewers don't dislike anime male protagonists having harems; what they dislike is incompetent and annoying male protagonists messing things up. If viewers put themselves in the shoes of anime male protagonists, most of them would be much better than those trashy male protagonists. For example, Makoto from "School Days" and Asuna from "Only You Like Me" are typical examples of people who squandered their potential.

Chapter 44. Charlotte's Troubles

After dealing with the two girls, Li Wei escorted them back to their respective rooms before returning to his own dormitory.

When Li Wei returned to his dormitory, Charlotte, who had changed back into women's clothing, was sitting on her bed, looking at a thick book.

The level of technology in this world far surpasses that of the real world. Smartphones and internet technology are very advanced, and most ordinary people spend their leisure time playing on their phones. Compared to the past, there are far fewer people who are willing to read paper books now.

Li Wei glanced at the book cover; it was a novel whose title he didn't recognize. It seemed that there were no counterparts in the real world.

"You're back. Has everything been resolved?" Charlotte asked curiously, looking at Levi as he closed the door.

"It's just a minor issue, it'll be resolved quickly. Shall we begin the massage we agreed on?" Li Wei said.

Charlotte often felt uncomfortable because of her breast wrap. Shortness of breath and chest tightness were common occurrences for her.

Li Wei naturally didn't want to see Charlotte's health deteriorate, so he suggested that Charlotte receive a massage every now and then.

Charlotte had witnessed his skills firsthand and knew that Levi's massage was very effective, so she didn't intend to refuse his kindness.

Charlotte closed the novel she was reading, took off her nightgown, revealing a workout outfit underneath—the kind of tight-fitting women's gym wear that's close-fitting, absorbent, and prevents any accidental exposure. However, while such a figure-hugging garment wouldn't expose her, it might be a perk for men.

Li Wei said, "I'm going to Europe in a few days, and I'll take care of your problem then, Charlotte. After all, things are getting too tough for you right now."

Charlotte said, "So fast?"

Li Wei said, "I'm going to Europe to handle some personal matters, and it's convenient since I'm already there anyway, so it's easier to resolve them this way."

Charlotte paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you."

Charlotte knew that Levi, as a superhuman, possessed powers that ordinary people did not have, and also bore the mission of saving the academy. She felt a little guilty that Levi had to make the trip for her sake.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Friends should help each other. Once your worries are resolved, you can appear in the academy as a girl. You must have been having a tough time being harassed by other girls lately."

There are only three men in the entire academy, and Charlotte is actually a fake boy. As a woman, her orientation is perfectly normal, so she has a lot of trouble dealing with the enthusiasm of other girls.

After three years in the military, even a sow can rival Diao Chan (a legendary beauty in Chinese mythology). While it's not quite that exaggerated at the academy, as long as there aren't any problems, it's an undeniable fact that most girls would be popular with a soldier.

Just like Li Wei himself, wherever he goes, there are big girls following him. He is not the wooden figure that Orimura Natsume was in the original story. Therefore, among the students, quite a few girls have already secretly established relationships with him and know some of his secrets.

Charlotte smiled wryly upon hearing Levi's words. As a woman with a normal sexual orientation, being surrounded by a large number of girls was not a pleasant thing.

Putting yourself in their shoes, imagine a man being surrounded and pursued by a large number of men—it's an incredibly twisted and philosophical situation, enough to send chills down your spine. From a man's perspective, girls being intimate is naturally pleasing to the eye, but from a woman's perspective, not every girl can accept it. Conversely, male-oriented BL (Boys' Love) might be interesting and visually appealing to women, but from a man's perspective, it's quite terrifying.

Charlotte said, "I understand their good intentions, but they're just too enthusiastic. I'm not very good at dealing with this kind of enthusiasm and kindness."

Li Wei smiled and said, "I can understand that. After all, if someone treats you coldly, you can treat them the same way. But other people's kindness carries weight. While it's natural to reciprocate with kindness, this kind of reciprocation will wear you down. Over time, it's easy to become complacent."

Human psychology is strange, and to some extent there is a tendency towards masochism, but this is a deep-seated consciousness that many people cannot escape.

Charlotte said, "If I were a man, I probably would have succumbed to this environment very quickly. But I am a woman, and this kind of external environment is a bit like torture for me."

Li Wei said, "So resolving your issue sooner will allow you to regain your true identity in public, which is a good thing. Come and lie down, let me massage your back. Once you regain your female identity, you can go directly to the school clinic for a massage. After all, I'm a man, so massaging your back is already the limit for me."

Charlotte understood what Levi was saying, and she knew it was Levi's way of showing respect and not wanting to take advantage of her.

Charlotte rolled over and lay face down near the edge of the bed, with her hands behind her back and her face turned to the side.

Li Wei said, "There are no special massage beds here, so we'll have to make do for now."

Massage requires the recipient to be completely relaxed, but Charlotte's head was tilted to the side, and her cervical spine was in a relatively tense state. When the massage was applied to her shoulders and the junction of her cervical and thoracic vertebrae, she experienced a slight stinging sensation.

Li Wei placed his hands on Charlotte's back and began to massage her with practiced ease.

Charlotte felt a warm current flow into her body through Levi's hand. This warm current circulated continuously within her body, quickly relieving the fatigue and muscle stiffness caused by training.

However, after such intense training, she suddenly found herself in such a relaxed state, and soon Li Wei heard soft snoring.

It's normal for people to snore when they're tired. It's not only respiratory diseases that cause snoring; fatigue can also make people snore.

Looking at Charlotte's rather unsightly sleeping posture, Levi simply smiled, then turned her over, placed her in the center of the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

After finishing all that, Levi returned to his bed and took out the information Cecilia had given him earlier, the information about Laura.

The world that Li Wei came to is quite different from the original storyline. For example, the character Laura learned her skills some time after the start of the school year in the original storyline. Charlotte only came from Germany on the day after she learned them.

However, in this world, Laura has been at the academy from the beginning, and she is not in the same class as Levi, but in a different class.

There are certain differences between the real world and the anime storyline, which Li Wei understands; these differences will not affect his plans at all.

Chapter 4. Soldier Girl Laura

Early the next day, Li Wei prepared for the competition. As the class representative, Li Wei was required to represent the class in various intra-college competitions, so he had more free time than other students.

Li Wei doesn't need to attend the morning's academic classes; he can go directly to the competition venue. The class representative battles are very flexible in terms of scheduling, and there is no restriction that they must be held on a fixed day. As long as there are class representatives willing to compete, even if there are only two people, the academy will arrange a separate match.

This time, it wasn't just Li Wei and Laura who were opponents; other classes also sent their own class representatives to compete.

However, Li Wei didn't pay much attention to these things. He only cared about his opponents each time he fought. As long as no one else became his opponent in the next round, he would put it aside for the time being.

Because the competition was scheduled for the morning, there were few spectators at the venue, only a few staff members, referees, and a small number of participants.
