My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Two thousand years ago,

Perhaps this is exactly what Li Wei was thinking at the time.

Ten-year-old Li Wei dreams about his future and strives to achieve it.

……

Before checking for anomalies, Li Wei made contingency plans.

As Sun Tzu said, "He who wins a battle before it is fought has many calculations in his favor. He who loses a battle before it is fought has few calculations in his favor. Many calculations lead to victory, few calculations to defeat, and what about those who have no calculations at all?"

Considering that I didn't want Ryougi and Saeko to worry, the most reliable person at this time was still that guy.

"Hey, is this Tohsaka?"

"..."

"Rin, don't be angry. I have something very important to tell you."

The boy glanced at his watch to check the time: "Please ask my homeroom teacher for leave for me. I might not be able to go to class this afternoon."

"Also, if I don't call you back within an hour, please call the police immediately and tell them there's a problem with the infirmary in the back building of the school."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you trying to do? Why do you need to call the police? You're not kidding, are you?"

The little devil with twin ponytails, who had been sulking just moments before, became flustered after hearing the call to the police: "Don't do anything stupid! If anything happens to you, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

"That's all, thank you." With that, she hung up the phone.

Great, now we can move on.

Although I've thought about things almost without ever going wrong since I can remember, who can say for sure about these things?

If it really was a false alarm, you can always contact Tohsaka again to ask her to cancel the police report.

Conversely, if they make a mistake, the police will be there as a backup to save them, making it foolproof.

As long as Tohsaka doesn't mess things up, everything will be fine.

……

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, the little devil with twin ponytails in the class was fidgeting, making the class monitor look at her with a puzzled expression.

"Tohsaka-san, what's wrong?"

"I forgot!!!"

"What have you forgotten?"

"I was so focused on showing concern that I forgot I was still angry with that guy."

Tohsaka's voice sounded somewhat frantic. Then, she stomped her foot angrily, stood up from her seat, and ran towards the door: "I don't care anymore. If he lies to me again this time, I'll never talk to him again."

"Where are you going, Tohsaka-san?"

"Go ask that bastard for leave!"

Chapter 25 Even gentlemen need to vent their frustrations sometimes.

The building behind the school.

Since it was lunchtime, there weren't many students, and the corridor was empty. You could hear echoes when you walked, and the pungent smell of disinfectant was spreading everywhere. Fortunately, Li Wei was used to this smell, so he was used to it.

Moreover, these are nothing compared to the stench emanating from the medical room.

Ordinary people might not notice anything, but for Li Wei, who had learned Merlin's magic, it was like having a banana-shaped figure placed among a group of beautiful girls and cross-dressers; the aura of freedom was hard to ignore.

As they drew closer, the familiar, scorching aura of darkness grew stronger. A powerful impulse surged through the boy's mind; his heart raced, his nerves became more active, and the desire to bestow mercy upon the other grew even more intense.

Since he began studying Dr. Bian's "Huangdi Neijing" (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), the boy discovered that there are two types of people whose physical condition he cannot discern at all.

The first type is someone whose strength far surpasses one's own, and who subconsciously blocks out their physical condition, like the girl named Tornado whom I met when I visited Hiratsuka's house last time.

The second type is a person whose body harbors a strange entity that can also render one's observation ineffective. For example, one's close friend Ryougi, who had a human form when he was young, but became as unfathomable as the Cave of Garan when he grew up. One could not even tell that he was a person, let alone diagnose his body.

This method can also be used to determine whether the other party is human.

"Someone's actually here at this hour... Oh, it's Li Wei?"

Finally, in the infirmary, Li Wei found the source of the unpleasant aura.

Kitami Reika, a popular school doctor.

Her medical skills are quite good; she's perfectly qualified to be a school doctor in an elementary school. Li Wei had met her a few times before; she's said to be the dream girl of many older elementary school boys.

She was half-draped in a doctor's white coat, yet she exuded none of the seriousness or innocence one might expect. She wasn't wearing a mask, revealing her mature and alluring face, beautifully accentuating her shapely chin and lips, radiating a captivating and seductive beauty. The dignified and serious office lady attire appeared exceptionally alluring on her; her slender waist and full, rounded hips perfectly outlined a tempting peach-shaped curve, making one's mouth dry and irresistibly drawn to her.

Or perhaps she violated him.

"This is like winning the lottery. Although I personally prefer girls, it doesn't have to be so strict about gender if it's Li Wei."

The mature school doctor with short blond hair spoke in a charming and flirtatious voice, constantly stimulating the boy's senses: "Are you feeling unwell? Or do you just want to see your teacher? Be bold and say it. You can do whatever you want to your teacher."

"Really, is it okay to do anything?" Li Wei tilted his head and asked earnestly.

This unintentional act of cuteness made the school doctor squint his eyes with delight.

"Of course, no matter what Li Wei does, the teacher will be tolerant of you. After all, I am a mature adult."

"Is that so? Kitami-sensei is such a reliable adult."

Li Wei calmly said, "In fact, I do have a lot of worries, such as birth, aging, sickness and death, and love, hate and separation. Being a doctor is a very stressful profession. Every time someone comes to me online seeking medical advice, I feel a deep-seated fear."

"Ah, he must have consulted many doctors but none of them could save him. He must have come to me online as a last resort, or he might even be desperate. After all, in a way, I am like Sister Enma, a kind of urban legend."

“The patient may be the pillar of a family, the beloved child of parents, the love of someone’s life, or a parent who has dedicated their life to their children. So when they go through all the trouble to find me, I am terrified.”

"What if... what if I can't save them? I don't want to see them remain silent for a long time, then numbly reply with 'I'm sorry to bother you,' and then their profile picture never lights up again."

At first, Kitami Reika tried to comfort the boy. But she soon realized that Li Wei was just talking to himself, as if he was pouring out something, and didn't care whether she was listening or not.

This feeling of being out of control made her very uncomfortable. She had no interest in Li Wei's troubles, nor did she sympathize with those who were sick.

If she could, she would prefer Li Wei to do something inappropriate for children, or for her to do something inappropriate for children for Li Wei.

"Li Wei, I already know about your troubles, but..."

"Please don't interrupt me, Dr. Kitami. It is a basic duty to listen to the patient finish explaining their situation during the consultation."

Unbeknownst to him, Li Wei changed how he addressed her: "From the first day I started learning from Dr. Bian, the first thing he taught me was the benevolence of a healer, which is what Confucius meant by 'the benevolent love others'."

“As a doctor, it is unforgivable to harm innocent people. I don’t know what happened to you, Dr. Kitami, and I’m not interested in your past.”

"What I want to say is that your behavior has disqualified you from being a doctor. From a doctor's perspective, I should clean house; from a gentleman's perspective, you are a scoundrel who should be eliminated."

"The only words that suit you right now are probably the ones that Enma-nee always says."

Li Wei smiled at the other person and extended a sincere invitation: "Do you want to die once?"

"What are you saying..."

Before Kitami Reika could react at all, Li Wei burst into action with astonishing speed, appearing before her in the blink of an eye.

【charge】

This is one of the Merlin magic tricks that Merlin taught him. It's a very useful movement skill that combines style and practicality, and it can also stun the enemy for a short time.

He had no intention of listening to the other party's nonsense; even if they did speak, it would only be empty talk or sophistry.

Confucius said, "A person's words are good when he is about to die."

Merlin told him that this phrase meant that when someone was beaten to the point of death and begging for help, their speech would become more pleasant.

Bang!

Amidst a deafening roar like a heavy cannon firing, a ring of air suddenly erupted beneath Li Wei's feet, as if a real heavy cannon had been fired, the recoil shaking the ground and stirring up dust and sand.

【Water Rock Crushing Fist】

Unlike Mr. Bang Gu, who emphasized technique, using the principle of water dripping through stone to overcome force and softness to defeat hardness, Li Wei's Flowing Water Shattering Rock Fist is more like a raging storm, with water exploding and shaking, the sound like a mountain collapsing, the rapids as swift as arrows, and the waves as fierce as galloping horses.

Just as there are no fixed formations in warfare, water has no fixed shape. Everyone's "Flowing Water Shattering Rock Fist" is different, and that's perfectly normal.

Only Kitami Reika, who had been struck squarely in the abdomen by Li Wei, seemed abnormal. Her body was torn to pieces as if she had been hit head-on by an interdimensional teleportation device, and she was clearly not going to live.

"How could this be... This is impossible!"

The blonde school doctor, her head severed from her body, lay in a pool of blood from her severed limbs. An unknown magic had prevented her from dying immediately; she could even continue speaking: "I can't die! I barely crawled out of hell! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!!!"

"Go talk to the victims if you have something to say, I'm not in the mood to listen to your wailing."

Li Wei picked up the severed head from the ground and, amidst the despair in the other's eyes, uttered his last words: "Dr. Kitami, what I hate most are charlatans."

Click!

Kitami Reika's head was crushed like a rotten watermelon.

This time, she is probably really dead.

Chapter 26: After defeating the monsters, you'll get loot—either equipment or women.

As the head was blown apart, the severed limbs that had been writhing on the ground, trying to be pieced back together, also stopped moving.

A gentle breeze blew by, and those once-lovable bodies scattered like grains of sand, vanishing from the world. Only the tables and chairs shattered by the force of the punches in the infirmary proved that a battle had taken place here.

Or you could call it torture and murder.

For at least some time now, Li Wei's accumulated negative emotions have been cleared away all at once, and the young man feels refreshed and much more relaxed.

"So the victim's location... has been found? Were they hidden here?"

Li Wei explored the room. When he touched a spot on the floor, the sound and sensation under his feet were distinctly different from those in other areas.

It's either a government office or a basement.

It is said that Kitami Reika had been the school's health care doctor for over ten years, which means the number of victims could be quite staggering. But before this period, Li Wei had never sensed anything unusual about her.

Perhaps she only needs to kill on specific days, and it's uncertain? Judging from her behavior just now, she might be involved with some cult.

As the boy thought this, he pushed aside the tables, chairs, and cabinets that were lying on the floor and found the handle in the corner.

As the floorboards were pulled up, a putrid, damp smell instantly filled the air, followed by the sound of a girl sobbing, and then a shoe that had been swung at full force, which Li Wei easily caught.

Judging from the style, these are standard schoolgirl leather shoes, more for aesthetics than practicality. They are neither breathable nor comfortable to wear. The owner of the shoes has obviously been wearing them for some time, and the constant mixing of sweat from his feet has given them an unpleasant, slightly fermented lactic acid smell that he finds quite pleasant.

This suggests that there are other survivors, whose physical condition should be relatively good, and who may even be capable of resisting.

Contrary to the imagined scene of corpses strewn everywhere, the basement was not very deep or large. Six or seven girls, about the same age as Li Wei, were huddled in a corner. The long-term darkness had made them uncomfortable with the sudden sunlight, and some of them were already exhausted.

At least, none of them were in mortal danger.

Only two people were still standing, suggesting they hadn't been captured long. Judging from their appearance, they were likely sisters. The younger one looked vaguely familiar; I felt like I'd seen her somewhere before. The older one, wearing a middle school uniform, stared at Li Wei warily. Judging from her foot, which was clad in black tights, the shoe she'd just thrown away was hers.

The two sisters clung tightly to each other, the older one shielding the younger one behind her like a female animal driven to the brink of despair. When they saw the boy, their eyes suddenly relaxed.

It seems you do know me, but I don't know you.

What should I call you later? Would it be too awkward to just say I don't know you two? It's very impolite to embarrass someone like that.

"Don't be afraid, it's all alright now. Kitami Reika, she..."

The boy, who had originally intended to say that he had killed her, hesitated for a moment. Considering that the body had already been scattered by the wind and that saying it would easily frighten others, he simply changed his words and said, "She fled after I discovered her crime. The police and doctors will be here soon."

"Great, great."

"Are we finally saved? I thought I'd never see my mom and dad again."

"I want to go home, I want to eat my mom's cooking!"

"I haven't done my homework for three days, and I feel terrible all over."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the kidnapped victims finally felt relieved and cheered.

Aren't some of the rescued people's testimonials a bit strange? Have they become mentally unstable after being imprisoned for so long?

Lost in thought, Li Wei reached out to the larger of the sisters, gesturing for them to give her their hand so he could pull her up.

After all, among this group of people, it seems that only this junior high school student's will has not been broken, and he seems to be able to communicate with him.
