Kiryu Ranka looked at Irina Fujito with a touch of envy. Irina's well-toned figure was something many girls could only dream of, and she was no exception. At the same time, she felt a little strange. Someone with Irina's physique clearly exercised regularly; such a person would normally choose various sports clubs. However, Irina had chosen Eastern mysticism as an elective, suggesting she was also a enthusiast of the occult. This made Kiryu Ranka feel like she had found a kindred spirit, and a sense of pleasure welled up within her.

Kiryu Aika's interest in the occult stems from her slightly unique nature compared to ordinary people.

First, she has a great figure. This isn't her boasting; her figure is genuinely excellent. Even without any exercise, or even with binge eating, she can maintain a perfect physique. Furthermore, her looks are undeniable. Even without makeup, she possesses her own unique charm, which Kiryu Aika finds quite unusual.

Then, she had a high level of "inspiration". It was because of this high level of inspiration that she was able to see "dirty things" that ordinary people could not see, but which did exist. In order to get rid of such things, she went to the shrine to seek help. With the guidance of a master, she was able to solve her problem of high inspiration.

Because of her own problems, Kiryu Aika realized that there was an even more mysterious world out there, unseen by ordinary people. And because of this, when she learned that the school offered elective courses related to the occult, she signed up without hesitation.

Chapter 1. Surprise

Kiryu Ranka circled around Irina Shidou with an envious expression and said, "Irina, you're also here to take this elective course, but you seem more like someone from a sports club. What made you choose this elective course?"

Kiryu Aika was somewhat curious about this. Irina Shito was the kind of girl who seemed very "socially active," and her sunny disposition was quite different from that of ordinary girls in Japan.

Irina Shito didn't expect Kiryu Aika to ask this question. She also couldn't tell her the real reason. After all, the most taboo thing in interpersonal communication is to talk too much with someone you don't know well. So she quickly put her mind to work, and in two or three seconds, she had already thought of a good excuse.

Irina Zifang laughed and said, "It's probably because of curiosity. After all, there are so many unsolved mysteries in the world. Maybe I can see something different here. Besides, mystery makes girls cute, and I want to become more charming."

Irina Zifang clenched her fist and revealed a bright, energetic smile.

Kiryu Ranka pushed up her glasses, bit her lower lip, and looked at Irina Shidou with the same gaze she had given her.

Kiryu Aika said, "There's truth to the saying that mystery makes girls more attractive. Besides, I believe I can learn something truly useful in my elective courses."

Kiryu Ranka was confident about the newly opened elective course. After all, if Kuoh Academy dared to offer this elective course, it meant that the teacher must be quite capable; otherwise, it wouldn't have passed the school's internal review process.

Prior to this, Kuoh Academy was a prestigious girls' school with a well-deserved reputation. It adopted a relatively closed management style, and its environment and teaching quality were far superior to those of ordinary high schools.

For an elective course to be offered, it must first receive approval from other faculty and staff members within the school, as well as from the chairman of the board. Therefore, the instructors of elective courses must possess genuine expertise.

Kiryu Aika didn't expect the instructors to be as skilled as the priests at the shrine, but anyone who could offer an elective course, no matter how bad they were, was still much better than the average person, so she could learn something from them anyway, and she wouldn't lose out.

Irina Fujito sighed inwardly, her gaze towards Kiryu Ranka filled with pity. She had already made up her mind: if there were any problems with the elective course, she would find a way to protect Kiryu Ranka. After all, Kiryu Ranka was a rather lovely girl, especially with her intellectual charm that appealed to both men and women. Irina Fujito didn't want to see Kiryu Ranka get hurt.

Kiryu Ranka smiled and said, "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Irina Shito was stunned; she hadn't expected Kiryu Ranka to be so bold.

"Now?" said Irina Wisteria.

Kiryu Ranka took Irina Shidou's hand and walked towards the wooden attic, saying, "Of course, since we're already here, why not go in and take a look? Besides, we're students who signed up for the elective course, so we're practically students of the other side. They wouldn't harm us, would they?"

Irina Wisteria whispered in a voice only she could hear, "Who can say for sure? This is demon territory..."

The two arrived at the front of the attic, both marveling at the ancient yet elegant architecture before them. They were familiar with traditional neon-style buildings, but this one seemed more like the ancient style of that colossal structure across the sea.

The moment they stepped onto the wooden stairs, the two sensed something was amiss. They felt their minds were clearer, and the feeling of mental clarity was incredibly comfortable, as if they had become smarter.

However, what the two did not know was that when they stepped onto the stairs, they had already entered the area of ​​Li Wei's "dojo". Within this area, Li Wei used a magic array to draw up the earth vein power from the ground and transform it into rich "spiritual energy", artificially creating an environment like a blessed land.

Because the spiritual energy only covers the area within the pavilion, it consumes very little of the earth's ley line power. As long as there is no major earthquake that disrupts the earth's ley line direction, this magic array can continuously provide spiritual energy amplification for the cultivators here.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

“There’s something here.” Irina Wisteria sensed the difference. After climbing the steps, she felt as if she were soaking in a warm bath, which was very comfortable.

Kiryu Ranka laughed and said, "As expected, the teacher here is a truly capable person. I can feel the changes in my body. Right now, every cell in my body is cheering."

Although Kiryu Aika was just an ordinary person with slightly special abilities, she had come into contact with mysterious powers, so she instantly noticed the changes within herself. The person who could create such an environment certainly wouldn't harm their students, which reassured her.

......... ......... .......

Irina was also surprised, because the rich energy here was a very positive force, full of vitality, and had a great nourishing effect on life. Even an ordinary person could live a long life and live to be over a hundred years old by staying in such an environment for a long time.

After walking up the winding stairs, the two arrived at the platform and gently knocked on the door. The moment the door was knocked, it opened slightly, and a dense, almost liquefied spiritual energy rushed out, causing their long hair to flutter due to the air pressure.

"Incredible!" Irina Zifang exclaimed in shock. The environment here was even more amazing than the Vatican City. The rich positive energy here would make even the weak and sickly become strong in no time. This environment could be called a "sacred land on earth".

Irina Zifang breathed a sigh of relief. Given this power and energy nature, the other party was unlikely to be on the path of demons. After all, demonic power was inherently negative; the so-called Seven Deadly Sins illustrated the negative influence of demonic power on the human heart. Spending a long time in the negative environment created by demons would eventually fill a person's heart with the Seven Deadly Sins, and unknowingly, they would be assimilated into the demons' ranks.

The strong positive energy here clearly indicates that the owner of this place belongs to the "kind" camp.

Chapter 1. First Encounter

If Li Wei could hear Irina Zifang's thoughts, he would definitely burst out laughing. This characteristic of energy is simply a characteristic of spiritual energy itself, and has nothing to do with the user. Even if someone is an evil cultivator, as long as their cultivation method does not fundamentally change the spiritual energy, they won't seem particularly evil. This is determined by the nature of the energy and will not change because of the user's will, unless Li Wei directly uses "qi" to modify it and refine an evil version of spiritual energy.

Irina Shito and Aika Kiryu cautiously looked around, and then they were both stunned.

Kiryu Ranka's face lit up with ecstasy, and she exclaimed, "The teachers here are definitely highly skilled!"

Irina Wisteria had witnessed a similar situation in the Vatican Sanctuary, so she quickly recovered, but she was still deeply shocked.

The two were so surprised because the interior of the attic was quite different from what was seen from the outside.

From the outside, the attic looks like the size of a small villa—not small, but not particularly large either; at most, it's the size of a slightly larger detached house. But once you step inside, you discover a completely different world. The interior is like a large auditorium, and the decor is understated and elegant, giving you a sense of being far removed from the world and transcending worldly concerns.

Li Wei is a skilled embellisher, so when creating the atmosphere of the venue, he referenced the characteristics of high-ranking sects in traditional fantasy novels, creating an environment similar to that in the pavilion. This style was something the two girls had never seen before, so it's understandable that they were shocked.

Li Wei had already noticed the two girls' presence when they were outside the attic, but he did not reveal himself. Instead, he observed them from the shadows using his senses. Kiryu Aika was an unexpected surprise for Li Wei.

Kiryu Aika is a minor character in the original story. Although her looks and figure are undeniable, and she even has the quirky, glasses-wearing personality to deliver raunchy jokes, her screen time is extremely limited, making her a true "extra." There are actually quite a few cute girls like her in the original story. While they can't compare to overpowered characters like Rias and Himejima Akeno, they are still considered top-tier beauties among ordinary people.

Moreover, the "ceiling of ordinary people's looks" here refers to this world. If it were placed in the real world, she would be a "femme fatale" who brings disaster to the country and the people.

Li Wei wanted to be seen by these girls as more than just a teacher. So, after much thought, he decided to abandon the reclusive, wise man route and instead adopt the approachable older brother route, ensuring that his image in the girls' hearts was not merely that of a teacher.

Now, Li Wei had already sent Yubeluna and Revel to do other things to avoid revealing his "boss" attitude in front of the two girls.

The two girls stopped in their tracks. Irina Shito stretched out her hand and blocked Kiryu Aika's path, saying, "I feel something's strange here. If we keep going, something might happen."

Because of her long battles with demons and fallen angels, Irina Zifang was quite confident in her intuition. She had a feeling that something was waiting for her ahead.

Kiryu Ranka laughed and said, "Irina, there's no need to be so careful. If it were Teacher, he wouldn't harm us. Besides, we've already entered this place. The being that can create such a space is not something two ordinary people like us can contend with. We might as well continue forward. Maybe we'll be able to see Teacher."

Irina Shito wanted to complain in her heart, only Kiryu Aika was an ordinary person. She was the Holy Sword Agent of the Church, wielding a greatsword formed from the Holy Sword's clone, slaying demons and monsters. She was no ordinary person.

However, after thinking about it, Irina Shidou felt that Kiryu Ranka's words made a lot of sense. The other side had put up the course "Eastern Mysticism" in a big way, and it seemed that they really intended to teach ordinary people extraordinary knowledge. She was just being cautious out of habit. After all, when dealing with demons and fallen angels, those who were not careful had already died.

Having made up their minds, the two continued forward. After passing through the hall, they entered a magnificent corridor. Facing the numerous large doors on both sides, although curious, they didn't linger and headed straight for the door at the very end of the corridor. After walking for a while, they stopped at the door. Even Irina Zifang was somewhat shocked. The small attic, which didn't seem large from the outside, had an interior space far larger than she had imagined. What immense power would it take to create such a vast space...?

Even the "Sacred Treasury" within the Holy Domain, used to store various special items, cannot match the volume of this place. Most importantly, this place is filled with that strange sacred energy. She felt her bottleneck loosening, which was simply unbelievable.

"Should we open the door?" Kiryu Ranka asked somewhat awkwardly.

"So you're finally feeling nervous?" Irina Zifang laughed.

Kiryu Aika rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I'm nervous. After all, I don't know what kind of being awaits us behind the door. What if it's a monster, or something terrifying?"

Irina Wisteria said, "Let's push the door open. After all, we've come this far, it would be a shame not to see what's behind it."

Kiryu Aika nodded, and both of them placed their hands on the door. Then, with a simultaneous effort, the heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open.

What appeared before the two was a room that wasn't very large. Unlike the grand hall and corridor outside, this room felt homey and cozy, giving people a warm feeling of returning home.

In the middle of the room was a small, low brown table. Beside the table sat a young man who, even when seated, gave the impression of being tall. He was sitting cross-legged on a beanbag chair, engrossed in reading a popular novel.

The two girls were stunned when they saw the young man's face.

"There are people this good-looking in the world?!" Kiryu Ranka was captivated. A young girl in her prime, at the age when her heart is just beginning to flutter, has little resistance to handsome men. And Li Wei, after repeated optimizations of his cultivation techniques, has reached the maximum level of human attractiveness in terms of looks alone.

That's why, in the real world, Li Wei always uses magic to conceal his true charm; otherwise, things would get really messy.

But in this world, Li Wei makes no attempt to conceal his charm, because there's no need to.

Chapter 1. Stunning

Li Wei raised his head, his eyes still somewhat dazed, seemingly still immersed in the plot of the novel. His ethereal gaze left both girls speechless.

Both Kiryu Ranka and Irina Shidou had blushed and stood there, unsure of what to say.

Li Wei, seemingly regaining his senses, closed the novel in his hand, placed it on the low table, and stood up.

After Li Wei stood up, the two girls realized that he was even taller than they had imagined. However, his tall stature did not give off an aggressive feeling. Instead, he was gentle and refined, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Li Wei picked up a stack of names from the side, selected two, looked at the two people, and said somewhat uncertainly, "Kiryu Aika and Fujito Irina, right?"

Li Wei's acting skills had reached a level of perfection. The two girls couldn't tell that Li Wei was acting at all. That kind of slightly bewildered and confused feeling gave people a cute feeling. Although the word "cute" is a bit inappropriate to use on a man, Li Wei at that time gave the two girls the feeling of cuteness.

Kiryu Aika smiled and said, "You must be the teacher of the Eastern Mysticism course. I am your student, Kiryu Aika."

Irina Wisteria said from the side, "I am Irina Wisteria. I apologize for intruding here."

Li Wei put the list down and smiled, "This place was originally prepared for you, so there's nothing presumptuous about it. The outer hall is the classroom, and this is my temporary private residence, which also serves as my office. Classes haven't started yet, so why did you come to check it out beforehand?"

Li Wei gestured for them to sit, and two Lazy Sands appeared out of thin air in front of them, stunning them both. Kiryu Aika, being a novice, only found the gesture magical, but Irina Shidou, who already possessed extraordinary powers, was utterly astonished that Li Wei had created two Lazy Sands out of thin air. This ability to create things from nothing was simply terrifying.

As Irina Zifang sensed Li Wei's aura, she discovered that it was so vast that she felt as if she were facing not a person, but nature itself.

The two women saw Li Wei's gesture and realized that he wanted them to sit down and talk, so Li Wei himself sat down as well.

Irina Wisteria said, "We were curious about what this elective class would be like, so we came here. We didn't expect to run into you, teacher, right now."

Kiryu Ranka said, "After all, we live in a scientifically advanced era. Superstitions and ghosts have been swept into the dustbin of history. The fact that you can still offer courses on mysticism and even get permission from the school makes me think that you must be a truly capable person, so I came here. I didn't expect you to be even more amazing than I imagined!"

Kiryu Ranka, kneeling on the beanbag chair, looked somewhat excited, like a little fan of Li Wei. In fact, she was almost becoming a little fan of Li Wei now.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I started this elective course in mysticism out of interest, so that students who are interested in mysticism can learn some real skills and avoid some detours. Moreover, although science is now the mainstream, all kinds of gods and ghosts still exist, and they cannot be fought with technology. So, knowing a little about mysticism will at least give you the ability to save yourself in extreme situations, so you won't just sit and wait to die."

Kiryu Ranka nodded. She was a highly spiritual person and knew what Li Wei was talking about. From a very young age, she could see all kinds of spirits that ordinary people could not see. Because of this, her childhood could be said to have been spent in fear.

If it weren't for the shrine's master sealing her highly pure yin-yang eyes, she probably would have been terrified by those supernatural things.

Just like Li Wei said, knowing some occult knowledge might come in handy at crucial moments. The more you know, the safer you will be. Even if you are thrown into an extreme environment like in a horror movie, you can survive to the end by relying on your knowledge, instead of being tortured and killed by those strange beings like others.

Kiryu Ranka clapped her hands. She genuinely felt that what Li Wei had done was a good thing, at least for her. Being able to learn about the occult was a good thing.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Lan Hua, your eyes should be able to see some strange things, right?"
