A self-study period quickly devolved into a session where classmates sought guidance from Li Yu and the others, with some even asking Li Yu how to ensure they weren't actually falling asleep during meditation.

Facing these questions, Li Yu was often left speechless; it was clear they hadn't been paying attention in class at all, and yet, this was a problem that plagued the majority of them.

Only now did Li Yu truly understand that even though this was a Special Class filled with talented individuals, a slacker remained a slacker; their inherent talent did nothing to change that fundamental attribute.

The class ended quickly, granting Li Yu and Yukino Yukinoshita their freedom. The morning magic lesson officially began, and today, the teacher finally started instructing everyone on how to use magic.

The previous two days had been dedicated to things like meditation, but today, the magic teacher began teaching the students how to cast some basic spells.

"Today, I will teach you some simple, practical spells that can assist you in using your martial arts techniques," the magic teacher said, getting straight to the point upon entering the classroom.

He then turned to the blackboard and drew a Magic Array, writing down the casting method right next to it, which immediately captured everyone's attention.

"This spell is very simple. It is called the Lightness Technique. As the name suggests, it is a spell that can reduce the weight of your body," the magic teacher explained after finishing the diagram.

When they heard the name, everyone's eyes lit up. A spell to reduce body weight? That was incredibly practical; it was essentially a buff.

Li Yu stared at the principles of the spell on the blackboard, recording them quickly and mastering the technique with ease. After sensing the state of the spell, he noted that the mana requirement was minimal and the casting speed was fast.

Combining its many advantages, this spell was quite excellent and could be utilized during combat, which was very convenient.

"Now, everyone, start trying. Follow the steps I've written to circulate your mana and trace the Magic Array to cast this spell," the magic teacher said, watching the students below and urging them to begin.

To encourage everyone to practice more, he even activated the Magic Array within the classroom, aiming to help everyone recover their mana quickly.

Hearing this, the students scattered and began testing it out. Some failed immediately upon casting, ending up covered in dust and grime due to the mana fluctuations.

Others, however, succeeded on their first try, as it was truly a simple spell; anyone with decent magical talent could master it easily.

Li Yu, needless to say, cast the Lightness Technique effortlessly. With a light jump, he soared into the air, nearly slamming into the ceiling.

Seeing this, the magic teacher couldn't help but speak up: "Those who have already mastered it can go outside to test it. Do not disturb the other students in the classroom."

He was no stranger to Li Yu, and he had heard of Li Yu's talent for learning—he could grasp most things after being taught once, so there was no need for concern.

Since Li Yu had already learned it, he simply let him go outside to test it. After all, he didn't intend to teach anything new until the rest of the class had mastered it, so it didn't matter whether Li Yu was in the classroom or not.

Hearing the teacher's words, Li Yu nodded and said, "Understood, Teacher! I'll go outside to try it!"

With the teacher's approval, Li Yu left the classroom without a second thought. Many were envious; he had mastered it so quickly—truly, he was Li Yu.

Just as everyone was marveling at this, Li Yu, who had run outside, cast the Lightness Technique on himself and jumped down. This scene was witnessed by everyone.

"Holy crap, Teacher! Li Yu jumped off the building!!" a student who had witnessed Li Yu jumping down exclaimed, panicked and ready to chase after him.

"Quiet!" The magic teacher was so annoyed he laughed. Jumping off a building? The guy was just testing the Lightness Technique! Had this group forgotten what they were studying?

Scolded by the teacher, the student quieted down, realizing he had clearly misunderstood the situation, which was quite embarrassing.

"Focus on your studies. You will need these spells next week. Don't make a fuss over every little thing," the magic teacher lectured the students.

Hearing this, many felt embarrassed and stopped paying attention to the "jumping" Li Yu, focusing instead on learning the spell.

Once they learned it, they would jump down just like Li Yu! That would be so much fun, many couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

Meanwhile, Li Yu landed safely. Jumping from the third floor felt like nothing to him, and he found it quite exhilarating.

There was a feeling of being about to fly, which was truly fantastic. He couldn't help but feel happy, sensing his current state; the spell's effect was still active, and one Lightness Technique lasted about thirty seconds.

Because it was easy to cast, this spell was usually most effective when used at the right moment, such as when one needed to accelerate.

Of course, you could also use it in conjunction with your movements; it could be used for every surprise attack or jump. He hopped around, and once he felt the effect of the Lightness Technique fade, Li Yu cast it on himself again. This thing was essentially a zero-cost burst spell, extremely practical. Given Li Yu's current mana recovery speed, thirty seconds was more than enough to fully recover his mana. After casting the Lightness Technique again, he surged forward with a sprint, covering over ten meters in an instant.

The increase in speed was significant; the effect was absolutely top-tier. Li Yu then tested other aspects, such as jumping height.

Now, Li Yu could jump to a height of about ten meters with a single bound—though, of course, that was only possible with his full burst—and he could even achieve a brief moment of hovering.

Practical, it was truly practical. Li Yu continued to test it on the playground, which caught the attention of many. Seeing Li Yu bouncing around outside, many students in the school were astonished.

Soon, more people ran out to test it. After mastering it, Yukino Yukinoshita and Asuna also jumped down from the third floor and began testing the spell on the playground.

After waiting for them to get familiar with it, Li Yu suddenly said to Asuna, "Asuna, shall we have a spar? The kind with weapons!"

Yukino Yukinoshita wouldn't fight Li Yu, but Asuna shouldn't refuse, right? There was no better way to master magic than through live combat.

Therefore, Li Yu wanted to have a spar with Asuna to see how the spell performed in actual combat. Asuna seemed to think the same; hearing Li Yu's invitation, she smiled and agreed, "Sure!"
