A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Abigail the puppet said, “Look, Busujima is already sweating. You have no idea how much pressure she is under. Even I feel fear when facing the Master. If the Master gets serious, Busujima won’t even be able to hold a wooden sword properly.”

Listening to Abigail's explanation, the group of male students looked over and found that it was indeed as he said; Busujima's hand holding the wooden sword was trembling slightly.

"Professor Li Wei is so amazing! So cool!" a male student exclaimed.

In the clash of momentum, Busujima Yako, who was at a complete disadvantage, knew that if she continued to fight like this, she would lose her last chance to make a move and also lose the opportunity to test Li Wei's strength.

Busujima Yako crouched low, moving like a cheetah suddenly taking off. Her speed was so fast that it almost left a trail of afterimages. It was with this sudden burst of speed that she eliminated most of her opponents in the Jade Dragon Flag competition.

With the wooden sword pressed tightly against his abdomen, tip pointing upwards, he launched a downward attack towards Li Wei's chin and throat—a move most people couldn't defend against. "Too slow. Even a big guy like Abigail is faster than you, Tokushima."

Li Wei's ninja dagger had somehow blocked the path of the wooden sword. Just as the tip of Busujima's wooden sword was about to strike Li Wei's throat, the ninja dagger firmly jammed the wooden sword. With a slight effort, Li Wei deflected the wooden sword.

The two passed each other, and Busujima Yako assumed a fighting stance again, saying, "Teacher Li Wei, if you had used your left hand just now, I would have already lost."

Everyone noticed that, at some point, Li Wei had put his left hand behind his back, and the ninja dagger in his hand was in a reverse grip, as if he didn't intend to use his left hand anymore.

"This is practice, and also a demonstration, not a life-or-death battle. Besides, you're not qualified to enter our circle yet, and if I get serious, I'll be laughed at by others." Li Wei twirled the ninja dagger in his hand a few times, the tip pointing at Tokushima Yako.

The students all perked up their ears with curiosity. Both Levi and Abigail the Puppet had mentioned a small circle of powerful individuals, and the students were fascinated by it. However, neither Levi nor Abigail the Puppet would talk much about the circle, which left them with an unbearable curiosity but no answer. They were itching to find out more, so they paid extra attention every time Levi and Abigail the Puppet mentioned related information.

However, what they didn't know was that this was also part of Li Wei's plan: to fabricate some powerful figures and then have them act as these powerful figures in the apocalypse to save the people Li Wei needed.

After all, Li Wei's main body has so many things to do, and the purpose of the puppet clone is to make things easier for Li Wei's main body, so that all the tasks can be carried out simultaneously without being delayed.

Busujima Yako launched another attack, still with that speed that almost left afterimages. As she approached Li Wei, she suddenly changed direction, moving in a small arc to get behind him. At the same time, she extended the wooden sword in her hand and used the acceleration to strike Li Wei's waist.

Li Wei lightly parried with his ninja dagger, but Bakushima Kiko used the force of his parry to turn around, almost circling him, before launching a surprise attack on his waist from the other end. This move was practically her killing blow; not only swordsmen of her age, but even some kendo instructors admitted that they would easily be defeated by it. However, Li Wei casually turned slightly, his ninja dagger arcing through the air, directly knocking the wooden sword from Bakushima Kiko's hand.

The wooden sword fell to the floor, bounced a few times, and landed at the feet of a female student. The female student picked up the wooden sword, ran to Busujima Yako, and returned the wooden sword to Busujima Yako.

Busujima Yako is very popular among girls, and is even respectfully called "Big Sister" by many younger female students.

"Ya Zi-san, your wooden sword." The female student whispered before returning to her original spot.

"Thank you," said Dokushima Asako, nodding.

Li Wei tossed his ninja dagger aside and said, "Ya Zi is already very talented, after all, she's a three-time Jade Dragon Flag individual champion. Among her peers, there's no one who can rival her. However, don't try to emulate her fighting style. Not everyone has Ya Zi's excellent sense of distance. Often, a single charge is just handing the enemy their head. In any melee combat, distance is crucial. If you don't grasp the distance and attack rashly, you'll only give the opponent an opportunity to counterattack." Whether female or male students, they all felt a sense of "I understand" when listening to Li Wei's insightful explanations. This is because Li Wei's understanding of combat is far superior to theirs; he breaks down the concepts from a master's perspective, which is why they could understand so easily.

Chapter 154. The Unlucky Guy Who Died in the First Episode

Babujima Yako sighed. She had originally thought that this sparring match would at least reveal some of Li Wei's strength, but after actually fighting, she realized just how vast the gap was between her and Li Wei. Li Wei stepped aside and said, "Girls, continue practicing. The demonstration just now was a high-level fight. It's a bit too early for you. Now, focus on practicing the basics."

Li Wei clapped his hands, and the girls who were initially a bit dazed started to move. Those who had already practiced put their practice weapons back in their original positions and sat down in the audience seats, while those who hadn't practiced came to the field and picked up their training weapons one by one.

The girls were quite orderly. Under Li Wei's gaze, they were all very conscious of their image and did not want to leave a bad impression on him.

As for the boys, only Abigail's loud voice and fists could maintain order. Male students are much more mischievous and harder to manage, and even Abigail's puppet couldn't completely enforce their orders.

Just as Li Wei sat down, a beautiful teacher with long wine-red hair, gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, and a mature figure that rivaled Shizuka Marikawa sat down next to him and handed him a sports drink.

"Thank you, Ms. Saotome," Li Wei said with a smile.

"There's no need to be so polite, just call me 'Lin'," the bespectacled beauty said shyly.

Looking at the other person's face, Li Wei recalled that the red-haired beauty in front of him was the physics teacher in charge of the third grade, and also one of the unlucky guys who were bitten at the school gate in the first episode of the anime.

The beauty before me was truly a pity in the original story, killed off by a terrible teammate. But now, he's in charge of the entire academy's security, ensuring there won't be any oversights. If the biohazard tries to infiltrate the school, it'll have to get past him first. Even if it does manage to infiltrate, it'll still be under his control.

After reviewing the school's details through the chairman's puppet, Li Wei could only sigh that the private Fujimi Academy was truly dominated by women. Among the faculty and staff, excluding the elderly who did logistical work, the teaching staff was predominantly female, with male teachers making up less than 30% of the entire faculty and staff. The student body was somewhat better, with the ratio of girls to boys generally being 60% to 40%. Although the number of boys was smaller, it was not to the point of a very obvious imbalance between women and men.

“Ms. Saotome, isn’t this a bit too presumptuous? Calling you by your first name like this isn’t too abrupt, is it?” Li Wei said.

"Why do you feel it's abrupt? Teacher Li Wei always calls School Doctor Ju Chuan 'Shizuka,' but when it comes to me, it becomes distant?" Saotome Rin said with a hint of jealousy.

“Then I’ll just call you ‘Lin’,” Li Wei said with a smile.

Saotome is a very rare surname. When Li Wei heard the surname Saotome, the first image that came to mind was a being who could switch between male and female, named Saotome Ranma.

However, most otaku these days wouldn't even know this character existed. In contrast, the author who created the interesting character Ranma Saotome created another character who is much more well-known in Japan: Inuyasha.

Any otaku who has been in the fandom for a while, even if they haven't read the Inuyasha manga or watched the anime, has definitely heard of the name.

However, these works are now relics of the past. Modern anime fans typically start with newer titles like Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Attack on Titan, and Demon Slayer, and generally hold a disdainful attitude towards the classic older works.

Of course, there are also absolute classics among the older works that are hard to surpass, such as the universally recognized work of art "Cowboy Bebop," as well as "Akira" and "Howl's Moving Castle," which are all recognized classics in the industry and are worth the time for later generations to learn about.

Classic manga also include titles like City Hunter, Guyver, and Berserk.

Banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind, Li Wei unscrewed the cap of his sports drink, took a swig, and remarkably, the sports drinks here in Japan tasted quite good—somewhat like Ramune soda, but not overly stimulating. Saotome Hayashi subtly shifted her position, almost leaning against Li Wei, and whispered, "Li Wei-kun, have you considered working at Fujimi Academy long-term?"

Li Wei noticed Saotome Rin's subtle movements, but pretended not to notice. He stared at the female students practicing and said, "It's possible. If we can catch the perpetrator, Abigail and I probably won't stay here for too long."

Saotome Rin was somewhat disappointed; this wasn't the answer she wanted. However, she felt she still had a chance. Could a slow-witted idiot like Marikawa Shizuka compare to someone as shrewd and capable as herself?

Compared to Shizuka Marikawa, who messes up everything except medicine, Hayashi Saotome feels that she has a lot of advantages. Whether it is looks or figure, she is confident that she will not lose to Shizuka Marikawa. Moreover, they are both graduates of the University of Tokyo. Who is not a high-achieving student?

Li Wei was unaware of Saotome Rin's (no money) little schemes, but he could sense Saotome Rin's affection for him. However, now was not the time to confront her, and he did not intend to make any further statements except to play dumb.

"But I'm quite happy here. After wandering around for so long, it's time to settle down. Being a teacher doesn't seem so bad," Li Wei said with a smile.

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Saotome Rin, who had been feeling somewhat dejected, revealed a look of surprise and delight, her eyes misting over as she gazed at Li Wei's profile.

Li Wei sighed inwardly. Being handsome really does bring different treatment. Before, while he was considered somewhat handsome, not many girls were interested in him. But now, the female teachers at school looked at him like a pack of wolves eyeing a piece of meat. Honestly, this kind of treatment was pretty great.

Chapter 155. Busujima Yako Apprentices

The anime *Highschool of the Dead*, limited by the perspective of the main characters, can only show a small part of the world's events. For example, the nearly wiped-out private Fujimi Academy in the first episode of the original story was actually larger than Levi had imagined.

As a relatively expensive private academy, Fujimi Academy doesn't have a large number of students, less than two thousand, and about sixty or seventy faculty and staff members, excluding the cleaning and support staff.

Of the thirty or forty female teachers, more than half had feelings for Li Wei. Some of them were even married and found it difficult to control themselves when they were with him. This made Li Wei feel somewhat ashamed, even as he enjoyed the attention.

However, because of this incident, Li Wei, who had only been at the school for a short time, became not only the public enemy of the male students but also the public enemy of the male teachers.

Every day, a large number of complaints related to Li Wei are sent to the chairman's puppet. If the chairman hadn't become Li Wei's puppet, the sheer volume of complaints would have been enough to get Li Wei fired.

Li Wei was able to stay safely entirely thanks to the protection provided to his true self by the puppet chairman.

However, through the puppet chairman, Li Wei also learned who was writing the complaint letters. Because of the rules at Fujimi Private Academy, the school does not accept any anonymous suggestions, so the complaint letters all indicated the class and name. Not only students, but also some male teachers were involved.

Among the people who wrote the complaint letter, one name caught Li Wei's attention: Koichi Fujito, the real culprit who made the female protagonist, Rei Miyamoto, fail a year in the original story.

The story is quite simple. Miyamoto Rei's father was an upright and incorruptible policeman who had evidence against the Fujito family. So, the Fujito family used his daughter, Miyamoto Rei, as leverage, ultimately forcing him to kneel down, apologize, and destroy the evidence. They also ended the matter by making Miyamoto Rei repeat a year of school as a warning.

Koichi Fujito's father is a prefectural assembly member in Tokyo and is a member of the powerful elite. Although Koichi Fujito is an illegitimate son, he still has a certain amount of power in the family (cgch). It was Koichi Fujito who came up with the idea of ​​using Rei Miyamoto to threaten her father. It is precisely because of this that Rei Miyamoto hates Koichi Fujito so much in the story.

Through the puppet chairman, Li Wei learned about Fujito Koichi's complaint letter. He had to admit that Fujito Koichi was quite talented in writing. After all, he was the son of a prefectural councilor. Even if he was just an illegitimate son, his personal abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people. He wrote an extremely ornate article and listed ten major crimes against him. It seemed that if he wasn't expelled, the academy would be in big trouble tomorrow.

Li Wei was amused. That guy, Fujito Koichi, had fabricated a whole bunch of charges against him, many of which were completely baseless. It just goes to show that people who plot against others are all corrupt. Li Wei looked at the female students practicing, checked the time on his phone, and said, "Next group, everyone stop training and rest." Hearing Li Wei's words, the female students put down their weapons and began the handover. Saotome Rin said, "Li Wei-kun, how about we go for a drink at an izakaya after get off work?"

“Thank you for your kind offer, but after get off work, Abigail and I still need to patrol. I have to ensure the safety of the area around the school and make sure the teachers and students aren’t harassed by the killer. So, let’s talk about it during the holidays,” Li Wei said.

“Okay, don’t break your promise on holidays,” said Saotome Rin.

Li Wei nodded. This wasn't the first female teacher to ask him out; her charm was just that great, which had forced her to become a master of time management.

When get out of class ended, Dokushima Yako approached Li Wei, and the two found a secluded spot.

"Yazi, what's the matter?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

"I want to learn new combat techniques from you, Master. I reviewed and pondered your training match today repeatedly, and finally discovered that there are limits to swordsmanship. Therefore, I want to learn new martial arts!" Today's battle was like opening up a new world for Busujima Yako, and that's why she shamelessly made this request.

“I’m glad you want to learn new martial arts techniques. However, as you can see, I have a full schedule of classes on weekdays, and I have to patrol the area around the school after school before I can go home. So if you want to learn new martial arts techniques, you’ll have to wait until after 7:30 in the evening,” Li Wei said.

“Time is not a problem. As long as you are willing to teach, teacher, I can be prepared whenever it is,” said Tokushima Yako earnestly.

"The time issue is resolved, but what about the training ground? We can't exactly come to the school to train late at night," Li Wei said.

“My family owns a kendo dojo, so training space isn’t a problem.” Busujima Yako’s tone was somewhat urgent; she was afraid that Li Wei would refuse.

“Since the time and place are both fine, I can teach you new martial arts techniques if you wish. However, how much you learn will depend on your own comprehension,” Li Wei said with a smile.

After making their agreement, they parted ways. Li Wei had a full day of classes and had to keep an eye on the students at all times, so after parting ways with Busujima Yako, he returned to the training ground to wait for the next batch of students to arrive.

After school, Li Wei and Abigail the Puppet began patrolling the area around the school. Of course, they usually just went through the motions. Today, the Puppet the Killer had a new operation. Li Wei would be constructing a false worldview, and this lie would begin today.

Busujima Yako carried a real knife as she walked home. To get home from school, she needed to go to the tram station first, but there was a relatively remote section of the road leading to the tram station. If she took a detour, she would have to walk an extra two kilometers.

For her own safety, she chose to carry real props; she usually carried a wooden sword.

Chapter 156. One Person Plays Three Roles

Dokushima Yako herself has a considerable degree of violent tendencies, but she usually controls herself very well, so apart from her family and Levi, the one who knows the plot's secret, no one else knows her secret.

Busujima Yako used to frequent secluded paths to lure "piranhas" attracted by her beauty. Then, she would teach them a lesson with a wooden sword. Because she always acted in self-defense, she was always able to exploit legal loopholes to escape punishment, without even having to pay compensation. Her opponents, on the other hand, were severely injured, and some who used foul language even suffered comminuted fractures of both legs.

It can be said that, compared to the usually peaceful and respectful Tokishima Kiko, the other side of her is as cruel as a wild beast.

But now, she has no mood to teach those lecherous men a lesson. Under the threat of the serial killer, she no longer carries a wooden sword, but a real samurai sword for self-defense. Even if she encounters the serial killer, she feels that she has the strength to fight back.

In a secluded alley, Busujima Yako noticed a figure in a cloak blocking the road not far ahead. The figure was facing away from her, so she couldn't see the person's face clearly. She could only see that the person was relatively short, with a hunched back, and arms that were longer than normal.

Busujima Yako gripped the hilt of her katana with her right hand and pressed her left thumb against the guard. The long sword slowly came out of its sheath, and she lowered her center of gravity, adjusting herself to the most suitable posture for performing the "draw slash".

"You're the serial killer, aren't you? I never expected to meet you here. It's quite an honor." Busujima Yako's face held a beast-like smile. She judged that she had an absolute advantage in strength, only a slight disadvantage in speed. Furthermore, given that her opponent was using a relatively short claw-like weapon, she felt she had a significant advantage and could launch a counterattack.

However, Busujima Yako's smile froze on her face. A large number of gray tentacles surged out from her black robe, and her originally short and hunched figure became huge as it twisted, revealing four claws that looked like beast claws.

"How do we fight this?" Busujima Yako knew this wasn't the time to complain, but the scene before her was indeed quite bizarre. The martial arts she had learned were for dealing with humans, and she really didn't know how to deal with monsters whose physical structure was completely different from humans, because—she wasn't a monster hunter.

Dokushima Yako slowly retreated, remembering what Li Wei had taught her: when encountering a serial killer, don't think about fighting head-on; when you should run, run. It's not shameful to save your life.
