Suspension of School! Focus on the Martial Way

He called Wang Lin over, and the two returned to school once more.

Wang Lin's progress today had also been obvious. His body looked much sturdier, and it likely would not be long before he could clean and jerk a 50-kilogram barbell.

As his strength steadily improved, Yang Yu gradually felt that school had become an obstacle to his progress.

As his physical strength continued to rise, his training time was gradually becoming insufficient.

After all, he still spent far too much time at school every day.

Just as Yang Yu was considering how to tell the school that he would no longer be attending, a suddenly announced Mock Test interrupted his plans.

"Fine. Once this test is over, I'll lay it all out with the school. With the Grand Nirvana approaching, a diploma will be no different from waste paper. I can't keep wasting my time at school."

The day passed in exams.

Since it was only a Mock Test organized by the school, all Six Science Subjects were compressed into a single day.

"Phew..."

It was finally over.

It was already nine thirty in the evening.

After handing in the last Science Comprehensive Exam paper, Wang Lin leaned back in his chair and sighed.

"Brother Yu, I feel like studying is even more exhausting than martial arts. An entire day was wasted just like that. When I think about having to spend almost the next year like this, it terrifies me."

"Studying really is a waste of time for us. I've decided that starting tomorrow, I won't come to school anymore. From now on, I'll focus entirely on the Martial Way. At most, I'll come back next June to take the College Entrance Exam."

Yang Yu capped his pen, his gaze calm and resolute.

"Brother Yu, have you really decided? Will Grandpa Yang support you?"

"Grandfather will support me." Yang Yu smiled. "Besides, Grade 12 is all review anyway—doing test papers, mountains of them. It doesn't mean much to me. If the school refuses, I'll suspend my studies or even drop out directly."

"This repetitive studying really is useless to you, Brother Yu. And I can tell that your talent in the Martial Way is even greater. There's really no need to keep wasting time. But I'm different. If I dared to say I wanted to suspend my studies, Father definitely wouldn't agree."

Wang Lin sighed regretfully.

"It's fine. You can work out after class, or come to the park every morning to practice boxing with me. Your Physical Fitness is currently only suited to this amount of exercise anyway." Yang Yu patted Wang Lin on the shoulder. "I'm going to find the Homeroom Teacher. After tomorrow, I won't be coming to school anymore. If anything comes up, call me directly."

With that, Yang Yu packed his things, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and headed for the office where the Homeroom Teacher was.

At that moment, Wei Hai was still working overtime grading math papers. Besides him, every math teacher in the entire Grade 12 level was also working late.

They would finish grading the papers tonight, hand them out tomorrow, and go over them all.

"Teacher Wei, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Yang Yu politely said as he approached Wei Hai's desk.

"Oh! Yang Yu." Wei Hai adjusted his thick glasses. "Come sit over there first. I'll finish grading this paper in a moment."

One minute later, Wei Hai, who had graded an entire paper at light speed, turned to Yang Yu with a delighted expression. "Yang Yu, your performance this time was as steady as ever. Another perfect score! Tsk, tsk. Your methods and steps for solving the problems are flawless."

"Here's your paper. It's even more useful than the standard answers I prepared beforehand."

But Yang Yu did not take the paper. "Teacher, I came to tell you that I'm planning to suspend my studies."

"Suspend your studies?" Wei Hai could no longer smile. Looking at his most satisfactory student, who was now submitting a Suspension of School Application, Wei Hai knew there had to be some unavoidable reason behind it.

"Have you encountered any difficulties in life? Yang Yu, tell me directly. With your grades, the school will definitely do everything it can to help you solve them."

At this, the other teachers grading papers in the office also stopped writing and looked over.

Yang Yu, an outstanding student with excellent grades, a tall and handsome appearance, and a modest personality, was quite famous at First High School.

"Thank you, Teacher, and thank the school for your concern. I haven't encountered any difficulties. I simply feel that there's no point in staying at school any longer."

Yang Yu's tone was calm, yet firm.

Wei Hai said nothing, merely looking into Yang Yu's eyes.

Yang Yu did not avoid his gaze in the slightest. His eyes were open and frank.

Wei Hai knew that Yang Yu had already made up his mind. Smart and mature students like him were always highly independent.

"All right. I believe you made this choice only after careful consideration. To be honest, after seeing your paper, there really isn't much the school can help you with. Suspending your studies is fine, but don't forget to come take the College Entrance Exam when the time comes."

Wei Hai, who was originally only the Grade Level Head, did not have the authority to make this decision. But first, Yang Yu's grades were truly exceptional—so exceptional that if he took the College Entrance Exam now, he could reach Jing University's admission cutoff. Even if he performed poorly, he could still get into another top university in the country.

So there truly was no need for him to keep attending classes.

Furthermore, Wei Hai was one of the few who knew about Yang Yu's Chronic Headache Condition. He knew that Yang Yu must have his reasons for making this decision, and the school leadership would not blame him after learning of it.

"Thank you, Teacher. This is my Suspension of School Application." Yang Yu took out the Suspension of School Application he had prepared beforehand.

"You really came prepared." Wei Hai's expression was complicated. "All right, I approve it. But you must remember to take the College Entrance Exam."

"Okay, Teacher. I will." Yang Yu readily agreed, while sighing inwardly. I just hope the College Entrance Exam can still be held as scheduled.

"Oh, right, Teacher. I've noticed that you're either standing or sitting all day. When you have time, remember to exercise more." Yang Yu sincerely advised.

"Haha, where would I find the time to exercise?" Wei Hai was about to casually refuse, but upon seeing Yang Yu's earnest gaze, he involuntarily changed his words. "All right. I'll exercise when I have time."

"Then I'll leave you to your work, Teacher."

With that, Yang Yu walked out of the classroom.

Leaving behind a group of teachers gossiping excitedly.

"Now I can finally focus on the Martial Way!" After leaving the school gates, Yang Yu gave First High School one final lingering look before disappearing into the night ahead.

"It's still early. I'll take a walk before going home."

Running through the city at night and experiencing a speed faster than an ordinary sedan, Yang Yu had never felt so free.

Before long, Yang Yu arrived in the city center.

Once the crowds began to thicken, Yang Yu slowed down and began searching for the purpose of this trip.

According to Wang Lin, Jiangnan City's largest dojo was nearby. It was called Dong's Dojo.

Its owner had once won the world Freestyle Combat championship. He was said to be someone with genuine skill.

Wang Lin had originally wanted to study martial arts there, but Father had ruthlessly shut the idea down.

Looking at the large dojo before him, which occupied an entire three-story building even in the city center, Yang Yu nodded.

Being able to open such a large dojo in the expensive city center meant that even if Master Dong's strength was only average, the training equipment inside was surely not bad.

The "big toys" at gyms could no longer meet Yang Yu's training needs. He could only look elsewhere.
