Teacher Will Give You Special Tutoring

This isn't fun anymore, I'm done. Asuna put away her sword and turned to leave; she had no desire to continue sparring with Li Yu. It was truly meaningless.

What does it mean to surpass oneself? She wasn't even that strong to begin with, so how could she surpass anything? Besides, this guy Li Yu kept learning her moves as they fought—how was she supposed to surpass him? It was impossible!

With these thoughts in mind, Asuna reached the bottom of the teaching building and leaped lightly, landing on the second floor before returning her weapon to her seat.

Li Yu found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't say anything. He returned to the classroom, stowed his weapon, and headed back to the playground to continue familiarizing himself with the magic.

As time passed, more and more people filled the playground. The students in the class had quickly mastered the magic, and the entire field was soon bustling with people jumping and moving about.

Everyone was eagerly testing their newly learned magic, acting like children who had just received new toys; the crowd was brimming with enthusiasm.

The magic teacher stood on the third floor, watching the students below. After a moment of thought, he called out to Li Yu, "Li Yu, come here for a moment."

Li Yu was puzzled by the sudden summons, but he hurried over to the teacher's side. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, the teacher spoke.

"Follow me, I'll teach you some magic." With that, he turned and walked into the classroom. Li Yu's eyes lit up at the words, and he hurried to follow.

Could this be considered private tutoring? Li Yu hadn't expected such a benefit, and he certainly wasn't going to turn down the chance to learn new magic.

"Your talent is related to learning, unlike the other students. I want to know, if I cast a spell once, can you learn it?" Once inside the classroom, the magic teacher began to question him.

"Yes, I can basically learn it after seeing it once or twice." Li Yu nodded without hiding anything; it wasn't exactly a secret at school anymore.

"Good. In that case, I will demonstrate some magic for you to learn. It will be helpful for your Dungeon trip next week." Having received Li Yu's answer, he didn't hesitate and began his demonstration.

"This is a Protection Barrier; it can serve as an early warning system." The magic teacher crouched down, placed one hand on the ground, and a Magic Array quickly took shape.

It wasn't very large, only about two meters in diameter. Seeing such a small barrier, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

The teacher continued, "If you want to expand the range of this magic, simply increase your mana output."

As he spoke, the Magic Array on the ground expanded violently, instantly enveloping the entire classroom before fading away.

A faint barrier had now formed, encasing the whole room.

Li Yu watched the entire casting process, and it clicked; he now understood how to perform it.

"Let me explain the principles of this magic to you!" After the demonstration, Teacher Li began to break down the theory behind the spell.

About five minutes later, he looked up at Li Yu and asked, "Well? Did you learn it? Do you need me to explain it again?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Li Yu nodded. "I've learned it. It's actually quite simple; there's no real difficulty to it."

Li Yu crouched down and cast the spell himself. At a one-meter diameter, the consumption wasn't too high. Based on his estimates, if he went all out, he could probably cover a dozen meters or so.

After all, the larger the range, the more mana it consumed, and this magic didn't last very long—it would dissipate completely in a few hours.

Watching Li Yu successfully cast the spell, Teacher Li nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

"Very good. In that case, let's move on to the second one!" Such a student was truly a relief to teach; he learned magic the moment he saw it.

Although he might be drained of energy, he loved students with this kind of learning speed—it was all about saving time and effort.

Next, Teacher Li taught Li Yu several more general-purpose spells, such as the Perception Technique and the Healing Technique—all simple but practical magic.

Li Yu learned them all. He would demonstrate once, explain his understanding, and then master it. This process gave the teacher a profound understanding of Li Yu's learning talent.

After finishing these spells, Teacher Li said, "Alright, that's enough for now. Get familiar with them; they'll come in handy."

Hearing this, Li Yu immediately spoke up, "Teacher, teach me some elemental magic! These are all auxiliary spells; teach me some offensive ones."

What was the point of stopping now? It was a rare opportunity for private tutoring, and Li Yu wasn't about to give it up easily. He had learned some elemental magic before, but he felt he didn't have enough tricks up his sleeve.

If he was going to learn, he wanted to learn more. He loved the feeling of knowledge entering his brain; he was desperate for progress.

"Elemental magic? Have you tested your magic affinity?" The teacher couldn't help but ask.

Elemental magic required matching affinities to learn; it wasn't something you could just pick up at will. Furthermore, the school's current curriculum didn't actually include elemental magic.

That kind of magic was only taught in university, where there were classes for various magic affinities. If he wanted to learn, he could just attend those lectures later.

"I've tested it—I have all affinities!" Don't ask, just assume he had them all. Anyway, affinity didn't matter to Li Yu; as long as he saw it, he could learn it.

Teacher Li was visibly shocked. This was truly absurd—even his magic talent was this terrifying? After a moment of inner reflection, he decided to agree.

"Then follow me. I only specialize in Wind and Water elemental magic, so I can't teach you much." Teacher Li walked out of the classroom; elemental magic couldn't be taught inside, or he'd wreck the room.

Seeing this, Li Yu followed him eagerly. The two went downstairs and arrived at the playground, where many students were practicing their Lightness Technique.

Seeing Li Yu and the teacher descend, the students subconsciously stopped. However, Teacher Li didn't call everyone together; he simply found a spacious, empty area and began to demonstrate for Li Yu.

The students realized what was happening: the teacher was giving Li Yu private tutoring, and in elemental magic at that? The entire class became interested.

They had no objections to the teacher tutoring Li Yu; Li Yu could learn it, but they might not be able to—their strength just wasn't there yet.

With their current mana levels, they would probably run dry after casting a single elemental spell. There was a reason the teacher wasn't teaching everyone!
