A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Kiryu Ranka nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice. Li Weiyu had seen through her predicament. She knew that Li Weiyu was not one of those charlatans, but a truly capable big shot.

Li Wei said, "It's actually quite rare to have yin-yang eyes like yours. Most people wouldn't want eyes like that. But you're lucky; someone sealed your eyes' abilities, which is why you've been able to live until now."

Kiryu Ranka said, "That's right, teacher. I met a priestess from Fushimi Shrine, and she sealed my eyes."

Li Wei nodded, feeling a bit more favorably disposed towards the female priestess. If it weren't for her, his beloved student would probably be dead by now. Although he didn't know her, he felt he owed her a small favor from afar.

Li Wei said, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. You've probably seen my materials and know my name, but I still want to introduce myself. My name is Li Wei, and I'm from Chongguo. Due to my interests, I'm temporarily teaching courses related to Eastern mysticism at Kuwang Academy. The complete course takes two to three years to complete. As long as your talent isn't too bad, except for third-year students, you'll generally be able to stand on your own when you graduate. Third-year students can still come to my class after graduation. I guarantee you'll learn it, and I'll teach you until you graduate."

Li Wei's words filled Kiryu Aika and Shito Irina with admiration. The fact that third-year students could still attend classes after graduation was very humane. Even if they left school, they didn't have to worry about not being able to learn all the skills Li Wei taught them.

Li Wei looked at Irina Zifang, his gaze lingering on the silver cross pendant hanging around her neck, and asked, "Irina, are you religious?"

Irina Zifang felt a little uneasy and said, "Yes, because of my parents, I believe in Christianity."

Chapter.Church

There are some things that Irina Zifang has no choice in. At first, she thought her father was just an ordinary believer, but little did she know that things were not so simple. Her father was a combatant of the church.

The reason she left Japan a few years ago was because at that time, demons and fallen angels were powerful in Japan, and her father, as a combatant, was in a very dangerous situation.

The Church, headquartered in the Vatican, considered her father's years of diligent dedication, including the slaying of numerous demons and fallen angels, and thus, under those circumstances, chose to recall him.

Naturally, she and her mother would have to leave with her father, which is why she was gone for several years.

Her father has now retired and become a combat personnel instructor at the church's European headquarters. Even she is an elite combat personnel trained by her father. It can be said that she was forced to bear the church's mark from birth.

Li Wei noticed Irina's nervousness and smiled, "Don't worry, although I don't like religion, I respect other people's freedom of belief. So I won't discriminate based on my students' beliefs. Irina, do you know the old saying in Chong Kingdom, 'Education should be given to all without discrimination'?"

Although Irina Zifang is a combatant, her elite education has made her far more knowledgeable than her peers. She understands the meaning of the ancient Chinese saying, "Education should be provided to all without discrimination."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Irina Zifang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this situation was quite awkward. She suspected that Li Wei had already seen through her, but was just saving face for her by not saying it directly.

"I'm sorry," Irina Zifang said, bowing slightly.

Li Wei laughed and said, "There's no need to apologize for this. You are my student, and it's normal and reasonable for me to teach you knowledge. I just hope that after you learn this knowledge, you won't use it for crooked or evil purposes."

Irina Zifang said firmly, "This is the only thing I can guarantee you, teacher."

Irina Zifang spoke with considerable pride. To become a Holy Sword Wielder, she not only possessed unwavering faith but also chivalrous virtues. To unleash the power of the Holy Sword, one must have a pure and kind heart. Once the heart is no longer kind, the Holy Sword will abandon her.

The Church's top power has a lineage called "The Keepers of the Commandments." The Keepers of the Commandments' immense power comes from their adherence to the commandments and virtues. Although this power is extremely strong, its cultivation is exceptionally demanding. One must strictly abide by the commandments to become stronger. Once the commandments are broken, their strength will diminish. If one betrays the commandments and virtues, the backlash alone is enough to kill them.

Those who keep the commandments hold an exceptionally high position within the church because every one of them, regardless of their strength, is certain of one thing: they are absolutely good people, strictly adhering to humility, honesty, mercy, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, and the spirit of the soul, and are simply incapable of being bad.

From a human perspective, Heaven and the Church in this world don't have many flaws, to be honest. Power struggles do exist within the Church itself. Those who keep the precepts are not involved in these power struggles because of their special status, and their position is also transcendent. However, ordinary church members will abandon their principles for the sake of power.

As a member of the Guardians, Irina Fujiwara can guarantee that she will never compromise with evil.

Irina Wisteria said, “I’m sorry, teacher. I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but I had no choice. My family has been converted to the church for generations, so I was baptized at birth and became a member of the church. I am a person who abides by the church’s commandments and the virtues of chivalry.”

Li Wei smiled and said, "I have a certain understanding of what the church is saying. Well... all I can say is that they've worked hard. Although they haven't done everything perfectly, nobody's perfect. To have achieved this level is already quite good."

Li Wei had read a lot of online novels before. In any case, those involving the church were all scathingly portrayed, with all sorts of filth and corruption found in those novels. Moreover, the church in the real world was indeed a place that harbored all sorts of evils, a veritable melting pot of good and bad people, including pure saints.

The situation is similar in this world's church; it's also internally chaotic, with all sorts of people. However, overall, the church in this world can be considered to have done a great deal of hard work. After all, this is a world with extraordinary powers, and without Heaven to check and balance the fallen angels and demons, they would probably have already amassed a large army to carve up the human world and started fighting alongside other pantheons.

In this world, the most powerful forces overall are still the three major powers of the Bible: Heaven, the fallen angels, and the devil.

As for pantheons like the Eastern Heavenly Court, Japan's Takamagahara, the Norse Aesir pantheon, Europe's Olympian pantheon, India's White Elephant religion, and Buddhism, they are generally much weaker than the biblical pantheon. If the demon race and fallen angel race were ruthless, and there were no Heavenly system to counterbalance them, the whole world would be engulfed in war.

Therefore, Li Wei still has a certain respect for the church in this world. Although it is inevitable that there will be bad elements in the church, the church is necessary overall. In this world, the church and heaven have been destroyed, and mankind has to become slaves to fallen angels and demons.

Just as the Bible says, ordinary people are the lambs of God, angels are the sheepdogs, demons are wolves, and fallen angels are beings who fell from sheepdogs to wolves.

Irina Zifang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you for understanding, teacher. I didn't mean to lie."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Irina, your foundation should be the best among all the applicants this year. However, what I'm going to teach you will also be very useful to you. It's a new path of cultivation that is different from your current one. I think you understand the principle that it's always good to have more skills."

Irina Zifang nodded. She felt incredibly lucky to be able to learn new knowledge from such a powerful and tolerant being as Levi.

Irina Zifang smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, teacher. You are such a kind and understanding person."

Li Wei said, "I will keep your secret, but whether Lan Hua is willing to keep it depends on how you negotiate with her."

Irina Fujito looked at Aika Kiryu, clasped her hands together, and said with a pleading smile, "Aika-chan, please help me out, please don't reveal that I'm a member of the church."

Kiryu Ranka laughed, "I can keep it a secret for you, but you'd better take off the cross around your neck; it's too obvious."

Chapter 4. Kiryu Aika's Resolve

Irina nodded. Normally, she kept her pendant inside her clothes, where it was hidden and not easily seen. However, considering that demons possess magical powers, and while clairvoyance magic was rare, there were bound to be such scouts within the demon race. Taking off the pendant made her feel a little uncomfortable, but it would make her safer.

Li Wei said, "King of Horses Academy is one of the important strongholds of the demon race in the human world. It must be said, Lina, you have a lot of guts."

Irina Wisteria said, "I came here because of orders from my superiors. After all, I am a warrior trained by the church, and I am mortal enemies with demons."

Li Wei's lips twitched slightly. However, the world is not black and white. He could understand if a "warrior" like Irina Zifang was pure. Of course, while he could understand, he thought it was a bit immoral to send a girl of that age to the battlefield, something the church was capable of doing.

Li Wei said, "Do you have a blood feud with the demon?"

Irina Wisteria shook her head.

Li Wei said, "Then why did you come here?"

Irina Wisteria said, "To humans, only dead demons are good demons."

Li Wei smiled. The little girl was still a bit naive. The situation of the demon race was more complicated than outsiders could imagine. If the church was full of factions fighting each other, then the demon race was really plagued by factionalism, with everyone doing their own thing.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Nothing is absolute. The demon family that controls the Kuoh Academy is one of the few moderates among the demons. Although from the Church's point of view, it would be best to get rid of the demons here, from the perspective of ordinary people, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the moderate demons to control this place."

Irina Zifang frowned slightly. She didn't quite understand Levi's meaning. What did he mean by "it might not be a bad thing"? Weren't all demons supposed to die? In Europe, she had witnessed the ferocity of the demon race. Their cruelty and lack of limits had left her with only disgust and hostility towards them.

Irina Zifang asked with some confusion, "Demons, and moderates too?"

Li Wei smiled and asked, "Irina, you're a combatant, right? What's your status within the church?"

Irina Zifang thought for a moment and said, "Line combat personnel can only be considered as low-level officers at most. I served as a squad leader for a while, but I didn't have much contact with those above me. I am from the 'Fellowship of the Ring' lineage, and Fellowship of the Rings are excluded from the core of power."

This situation is also what the lineage of those who uphold the precepts themselves desire, because if they were to get involved in power struggles, they might break their precepts, or even be devoured by the precepts and virtues. Therefore, staying away from power has become the choice for the lineage of those who uphold the precepts to protect themselves.

Of course, the various factions within the Church did not dare to drag the Vigilantes, who were full of martial virtue, down. After all, the Vigilantes were too full of martial virtue, and no one wanted these "martial madmen" to cause trouble. Therefore, the unspoken rule within the Church was that the Vigilantes formed their own faction and did not participate in power struggles, but no one could reach out to the Vigilantes.

Irina Zifang isn't directly part of the power structure, but because she wields the Holy Sword clone and her own strength is definitely elite-level, she can fight against demons even without the Holy Sword. With the Holy Sword activated, she dares to directly confront even high-ranking demons. So far, Irina Zifang hasn't encountered any of the various troubles within the church. It should be said that her status as a Ring Keeper is undeniable, and only someone with a screw loose would try to scheme against her.

Li Wei said, "It seems you don't know much about the inner workings of the church. Since you don't even know much about your own church, it's normal that you don't know anything about the demons' inner workings. Although Kuoh Academy is under the control of demons, it's actually one of the safest places for humans because it's the territory of the moderates. Do you know the Gremory family?"

Irina Zifang paused for a moment, then said, "I know a little about noble families, but there's much more that I can't possibly know."

Li Wei said, "The Gremory family ranks first in overall strength among noble families, and they also have a current Demon King. Of course, the ranking does not take into account the Demon King's combat power. If the Demon King is included, the ranking will jump directly to number one."

Irina Zifang's scalp tingled. She had actually thought of causing trouble here. If she really made a move, let alone being a Holy Sword Wielder, even if she brought all seven Holy Sword Wielders over, they would probably be easy prey. That was the Demon King, the top combat power of the demon race. A nobody like her would struggle even against a high-ranking demon, let alone the Demon King. He wouldn't even have a chance to surrender; he could probably easily wipe her out.

Seeing the bewildered expression on Irina's face, Li Wei found it quite amusing. Even when a beautiful girl makes a funny face, she's still so cute. It has to be said, being good-looking allows you to be capricious.

Kiryu Ranka, standing nearby, was no less shocked than Irina Shidou. After all, Irina Shidou was a combatant of the church, and her long combat experience had made her knowledge and experience far beyond what her peers could match.

As for Kiryu Aika, although she has the innate ability to see spirits and has an incredibly high level of spiritual insight, she has never received any systematic training, so she is still an ordinary person. Her understanding of the inner world is limited to things related to herself.

Therefore, she was always completely bewildered when she heard words like "demon" or "demon king".

However, Kiryu Aika knew that by learning from Li Wei, a completely new world was about to unfold its true face before her. Having power was always better than being an ordinary person. At least, when faced with emergencies, having power gave her a chance to escape. If she were just an ordinary person, she would often just have to wait to die.

Especially after learning that demons, which are different from ghosts and monsters, exist in this world, Kiryu Aika realized that an unknown number of non-human beings were lurking around her. She did not want to entrust her life and death to other people, and could only pray that those supernatural beings would not be too cruel and would give her a quick death.

After meeting Li Wei, Kiryu Aika made up her mind that even if she couldn't become a strong person, she should at least master the ability to protect herself.

Li Wei said, "Lan Hua, Irina, you are both my lovely students, and naturally I don't want to see anything happen to you. However, I can't be by your side all the time. So, besides teaching you self-defense skills, what I can do is make you realize that some things are not as simple as they seem. Many times, some issues cannot be viewed from a preconceived perspective. Preconceived perspectives can easily turn potential friends into enemies."

Chapter 1. Internal Strife Among the Demon Race

The world is never black and white, but the church members around Irina Zifang wouldn't teach her that way. For warriors belonging to the church, purity is the most important thing.

However, such purity can also bring certain problems. If one's worldview is overturned, one can easily be led astray or even become corrupted.

Throughout history, there have been many "geniuses" with mental problems in the church. Girls like Irina Zifang are able to maintain their purity entirely through the "brainwashing" of their fathers and other companions, so such purity is actually very fragile.

Li Wei had previously discussed with Rias that he would try his best to win over Irina Shidou, and the reason Li Wei was so confident in saying this was because of this.

The spiritual education of the church is seriously inadequate in some places. Those who keep the vows are, to some extent, protected by others in the church. It is precisely because they do not have to face some sensitive choices that they are able to maintain their virtue and purity. This kind of education, which is like an empty castle, is easily overturned.

Now, when faced with Li Wei's words, Irina Zifang already had doubts in her heart. Of course, she would not completely believe Li Wei's words. After all, some things are not as good as words. She had to use her own eyes to see and observe.

Li Wei said, "Irina, I will conceal the true identities of the church members for you so that you won't be exposed. What you need to do is to observe them up close, to observe the moderate demons. What kind of people they are is not for me to decide, but for you to decide."

Irina Zifang nodded. Li Wei's words were quite respectful, so she wouldn't act impulsively. Just as Li Wei said, it wouldn't hurt to observe first. Moreover, she believed that Li Wei wasn't with those demons, although this judgment was rather arbitrary, she trusted her intuition.

Combatants' intuition is often so sharp it defies logic. She had relied on her intuition to not only achieve numerous victories but also escape from crises on several occasions. So, what seems like an inexplicable thing to ordinary people is intuition, which is an important basis for her to make quick judgments about things. She felt that Li Wei would not harm her, so she chose to trust him.

After a brief chat, Li Wei saw the two girls off. Just as they left, Li Wei snapped his fingers, and faint ripples appeared in the space beside him. Rias and Akeno Himejima, dressed in school uniforms that perfectly showcased their figures, appeared before Li Wei.

Li Wei said, "I thought you wouldn't be here for a while. Have you finished what you were doing?"

Rias and Akeno Himejima sat down, bringing a fragrant breeze with them, and sat very close to Li Wei, almost leaning against him.

Rias said, "I went to the registrar's office and cancelled the Department of Mysticism Research."

Li Wei was somewhat surprised and said, "Why did you cancel your club? The Department of Mysticism Research is, after all, your hard work."

Rias laughed and said, "I canceled the Mysticism Research Club so as not to interfere with your classes, Li Weijun. After all, since our names both have 'mysticism' in them, I was afraid we'd be competing with you for students. After all, I can't possibly teach them any real skills. Demon magic is not something normal humans can learn. If I were to teach it, I would only mislead them. So, students who aspire to make a difference in mysticism should come directly to your classes."

Rias didn't not want to teach, but the magic of the demon race was inherently filled with negative energy. For ordinary people, this kind of training was a death trap, and a sure way to die.

Rias herself is a moderate. Her attitude towards ordinary people is that of a potential kinsman. The demon race has a long tradition of converting other potentially intelligent life forms into their own kind. Therefore, in her view, the vast human population is simply a giant recruitment center. Properly managing the relationship between demons and humans is what allows the demon race to truly flourish. In fact, she sees demons as human, and humans as demons; every human is a potential demon. This is the prevailing view of the Gremory family, which is why they can be considered entirely pacifist.

The internal strife within the demon race is quite severe. The struggle between the hawks and doves has been going on for a long time. However, the current four demon kings are all doves, making the situation in the demon realm quite complicated.
