A Learning-Type Talent

Li Yu's homeroom teacher was a woman in her thirties, slightly plump, yet possessing a face that radiated a sense of peace and prosperity.

As she entered the classroom, the students all fell silent; everyone held a considerable amount of awe for this homeroom teacher.

After all, she was truly fierce and a powerful martial artist to boot. Many could not even withstand a single glare from her.

"I won't waste time with pleasantries. Fill out these forms, list your talents, and then we'll proceed with the class assignments!" As soon as Zhang Li entered, she got straight to the point.

She then divided the forms and handed them to the students in the front row, instructing them to pass them back.

Li Yu received his form shortly after. Seeing that everyone had theirs, the homeroom teacher continued, "Fill these out. Be serious about your talents and the majors you wish to pursue; this concerns your entire life."

No matter which path you choose, once decided here, it is set for life. It is best to choose according to your own talents.

After the forms are submitted, the homeroom teacher will provide appropriate advice, and then the school will handle the class assignments.

This process would be quite fast; he estimated that in two hours, everyone would be meeting in their new classes.

Listening to the teacher, Li Yu's gaze fell upon the form in his hand. It was very simple, and Li Yu began filling it out without a second thought.

Name: Li Yu, Gender: Male

Student ID: xx9527

Awakened Talent: Yes √ No ×

Talent Information: Seems to be Learning Magic Eye? After awakening, my learning ability has become much stronger. I can grasp many simple concepts after seeing them once, though I haven't tested it specifically.

Desired Major: Mage √ Martial Artist √

Li Yu quickly filled in this information. Regarding his talent, he gave an ambiguous answer. As for the major, Li Yu checked both boxes without hesitation.

He wanted both. After all, it's reasonable to study both if one has a learning talent, right? As for how it would be decided, that was up to the homeroom teacher.

If nothing went wrong, Li Yu would likely face a test next to evaluate his learning talent.

Li Yu had only written down his learning talent, but his true talent was that he could even learn the physical constitutions of others.

This was his true trump card, and he would never tell anyone about it. A powerful learning talent was already enough to secure the benefits he needed.

Once the form was filled out, it was ready to be submitted. Li Yu glanced around the classroom; some students had already turned theirs in.

Seeing this, Li Yu stood up, walked toward the podium, and silently handed his form to the homeroom teacher.

Zhang Li took Li Yu's form and glanced at it subconsciously. When she saw the information Li Yu had written, she was stunned.

"Li Yu, wait a moment." Zhang Li called out to him, drawing the attention of many in the class.

Everyone looked over with confused eyes, wondering what was going on.

"Teacher." Li Yu stopped upon hearing her. Was she planning to have him test his talent on the spot?

The homeroom teacher placed Li Yu's form on the podium and pointed to the talent section. "Is what you wrote true?"

She scrutinized Li Yu with a skeptical gaze. According to what he had written, his talent was simply too outrageous. If it were true, then Li Yu's talent was truly extraordinary.

A talent for learning could be applied to any path, as it would allow Li Yu to put in far less effort and easily master various forms of knowledge.

"Yes, it's true. I've already tested it." Li Yu nodded, reciting the explanation he had prepared.

"If that's the case, then it really is incredible. It would work for any path you choose!" The homeroom teacher kept her eyes fixed on Li Yu.

She noticed that Li Yu wasn't lying, which meant it was all true—her student had truly awakened such a talent.

Thinking of this, Zhang Li became excited and hurriedly said, "I will make sure to explain this clearly to the principal."

The subtext was that the school would now fully cultivate Li Yu. As for which department he would join? That no longer mattered.

It wasn't as if dual-cultivators didn't exist; with Li Yu's learning talent, it would be a tragedy if he didn't dual-cultivate.

Therefore, the information Li Yu provided was perfect. He should dual-cultivate and even learn more.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of such a learning talent? With this kind of talent, Li Yu belonged in a special class.

The school had previously held meetings about whether to create such a class, and she felt that establishing one now would be a great idea.

After all, special talents should be nurtured with special methods. Having made up her mind, she let Li Yu return to his seat.

She then spoke to the class monitor, "Monitor, please help collect the forms later. I need to step out for a moment."

With that, she ran out, filled with excitement, ready to explain the situation to the principal.

By now, the students in the class were dumbfounded. Had their classmate awakened some kind of incredible talent?

Many turned their gazes toward Li Yu, their eyes filled with envy. A good talent was simply too important to everyone.

The student sitting in front of Li Yu couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Li Yu, what is your talent? The teacher seemed so shocked!"

Everyone had heard the conversation between Li Yu and the teacher, which made them quite curious about what his talent was.

"Just a common learning talent. I can learn many things after seeing them once." Facing his curiosity and the inquisitive gazes of many classmates, Li Yu spoke calmly.

He revealed his talent because it was impossible to hide; even if he didn't say it, the school would eventually announce it.

It was something that would be known sooner or later, so there was no point in being secretive now.

It was better to just be open about it. Regardless of who asked in the future, this would be his answer.

"Hiss, a talent for learning? Good heavens! Doesn't that mean he's going to become a straight-A student? No wonder the head teacher was so excited!" After hearing Li Yu's description, the student sitting in front of him was also stunned.

Such a talent was simply a teacher's favorite, and it was undeniably awesome; to master something after a single glance meant he could learn whatever he wanted, right?

Many students in the class who overheard Li Yu were filled with intense envy; that talent was undoubtedly a god-tier support ability!

In an instant, many in the classroom began to discuss it heatedly, all of them expressing their envy of Li Yu's talent.

Even many of the girls cast frequent glances his way; if things went as expected, Li Yu would have an incredible future with a talent like that.

He was a massive hidden gem, but unfortunately, everyone was about to be split into different classes, and there might not be any chance to interact in the future.
