After figuring out the operation of this magic circle, Li Yu sat down on the spot and began to meditate.

He could set one up at home once he had money; many of these materials were readily available on the market.

The most expensive item was the magic stone, the price of which remained consistently high, even serving as a form of currency.

Li Yu could set up a small one at home later, combined with the meditation techniques the teacher taught to replace sleep...

Just thinking about it made Li Yu feel great, so building a magic circle at home needed to be put on the agenda.

Making money was also an urgent matter; after all, he couldn't do anything without it, and it would be embarrassing if he couldn't even afford a meal!

The first magic class today focused primarily on knowledge related to meditation, and the teachers didn't teach anything else.

The remaining time was spent in meditation. After finishing the morning meditation class, the students in the class were all full of energy, without a hint of fatigue.

Li Yu vaguely understood why magic classes were scheduled in the morning. If nothing went wrong, Li Yu and the others would likely have meditation time in the future to recharge their spirits before being squeezed by martial arts classes in the afternoon...

The lunch break bell rang, and after the class ended, Li Yu and the others headed toward the cafeteria one after another.

Along the way, Li Yu saw the students who had been sorted into classes. The students from the Magic Department were full of energy, but the students from the Martial Arts Department were miserable.

Each one looked as if they had been hollowed out, clearly having just experienced high-intensity training.

The joys and sorrows of people were indeed different. The students in the Martial Arts Department would likely have a rough time ahead, though perhaps they would get used to it eventually.

Li Yu arrived at the cafeteria and, as usual, swiped his card after getting his food. To his surprise, the payment was successful, but his balance remained unchanged.

Seeing this, Li Yu asked the cafeteria lady with some confusion: "Ma'am, is this broken? How did the payment go through without the balance changing?"

Hearing Li Yu's words, the cafeteria lady took a look and said with a smile: "You're a student from the Special Class, right? Meals are free for the Special Class starting today."

The lady explained the reason to Li Yu; it wasn't that the machine was broken, but that the school had waived the meal expenses for them.

This news surprised Li Yu, but after thinking about it, he didn't dwell on it. It was a good thing, as it would save him quite a bit of money.

Thinking this to himself, Li Yu thanked her and carried his food to find a seat.

The students who had been queuing nearby heard the conversation between Li Yu and the cafeteria lady, making many of them behind him envious.

It seemed the school really valued this class; they would likely receive even more resource allocation in the future.

Li Yu didn't care about the envious gazes of others; he quickly finished his meal and returned to the classroom to browse his phone.

By the afternoon, the martial arts class began. Shizuka Hiratsuka first checked everyone's homework and reviewed what was taught yesterday.

Then she began teaching new knowledge. There were no practical combat sessions this afternoon; it was all spent on instruction.

When school ended, Li Yu sighed and said: "What a pity... no practical combat today. Otherwise, I would have liked to test my sword skills."

It was truly regrettable. He had brought his weapon for nothing. If there had been a practical combat session today, he would have shown his opponent what the Ultimate Ghost Sword Technique was all about.

Yukino Yukinoshita was nearby and heard Li Yu's words, which made her roll her eyes. She made up her mind right then and there to absolutely avoid sparring with this guy.

Especially since this guy used a weapon; heaven knows what kind of things he had mastered or how strong he had become.

Everyone in the class was getting stronger step by step, but what about this guy Li Yu? He wasn't even pretending anymore; his strength was rising like a rocket.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had said this afternoon that at this rate, Li Yu would be able to graduate soon, and she would have nothing left to teach him.

The current Li Yu didn't need to learn much more in terms of technique; all he lacked was internal energy.

In that regard, he was already miles ahead of everyone else. It probably wouldn't be long before Li Yu left his classmates completely in the dust.

Comparing oneself to others was truly infuriating, so Yukino Yukinoshita decided she would never fight Li Yu again. She couldn't keep up with his progress, and fighting him was purely self-inflicted torture.

Besides, Li Yu didn't hold back at all when he attacked. She was afraid that if she fought him, she would be beaten to death!!

After school, Li Yu slipped away immediately, but many students in the class stayed behind at the school.

These people intended to use the classroom to train themselves; everyone had started to consciously engage in the "rat race."

There were already quite a few students in the Special Class who were just one step away from breaking through to the third rank, so why wouldn't they seize the time?

So, they buckled down and went crazy with it. Everyone didn't have the monstrous talent of Li Yu, so they could only make themselves stronger through sheer effort.

Li Yu, who had walked out of the school gate, didn't know the situation in his class. He didn't go home right away but started wandering around instead.

At this moment, there were people patrolling everywhere in the city. Li Yu had encountered at least three patrols just after leaving the school.

The people in the city also knew that there might be danger outside, so everyone was coming and going in a hurry, afraid of encountering something.

Feeling the vigilant atmosphere in the city, Li Yu frowned. The situation was more serious than he had imagined.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such martial law, with patrols every so often; this situation was unprecedented.

At the very least, in Li Yu's memory, such a thing had never happened in this city.

Li Yu carried his weapon and started strolling through the city. To wander around today, he had left his other belongings at school and only brought his weapon back.

Having transmigrated to this world for two days, he hadn't properly understood this city, so he could take this opportunity to get to know it better.

After all, for the two days he had been in this world, Li Yu had either been in his rented room or at school, with no chance to go out and explore.

Li Yu wandered through the city alone. Although martial law had been imposed, it didn't have much of an impact on the city's residents.

It was just that there were fewer people strolling on the streets and more people patrolling.

Walking on the street and seeing the intensity of the patrols, Li Yu roughly understood that his idea of finding monsters to fight was probably a lost cause.

With this level of patrol, monsters? They would be killed the moment they showed their heads, and even if they didn't, they would still be killed. It probably wouldn't be his turn to do anything.

Li Yu's plan to find monsters to fight fell through because there simply wasn't any room for him.
