Watching Videos Can Also Lead to Learning

Li Yu's talent was quickly recognized. When the homeroom teacher reported the news to the principal, the principal was stunned.

A talent that allows one to master anything after learning it just once? Such a gift is absurd regardless of the field.

Zhang Li struck while the iron was hot, immediately bringing up the proposal discussed in the previous meeting.

"Principal, I believe we can implement the plan we discussed earlier: creating a Special Class to provide specialized training for students with exceptional talents," Zhang Li said, raising the matter once more.

Hearing her bring it up again, and considering Li Yu's talent alongside the gifts of many other students in the school, the principal made a decisive choice.

He agreed immediately, saying, "I approve. I will handle the logistics. You head back to the classroom for now; you will be the one leading this class!"

He agreed that special talents required special training methods, and Li Yu's learning ability was exactly that kind of talent.

Furthermore, he knew that many students in this year's cohort possessed unique gifts. Since that was the case, it would be best to gather them all into one class.

This class would teach not only martial arts but also magic—as long as they could keep up, the school would provide the instruction!

Zhang Li's eyes lit up at the principal's words, and she quickly replied, "Yes! Thank you for your trust, Principal. I will make sure to lead that class well!"

Wasn't this exactly what she wanted? If she could truly cultivate a group of powerful students, she would have no regrets in this life.

Among teachers, how many didn't hope for their students to succeed?

She wanted her students to excel more than anything. Now that she had a group of promising seedlings to nurture, if she couldn't handle this, she might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes!

"Work hard. Go back now; I'll coordinate with the other school leaders shortly." After offering a few words of encouragement, the principal began to busy himself.

Zhang Li left the principal's office with a radiant expression and returned to her classroom.

Seeing the undisguised joy on their homeroom teacher's face, the students immediately understood that she must have gained something significant to be so happy.

"Alright, those who have finished filling out their forms, hand them in immediately. The school will be sorting you into classes shortly," the homeroom teacher said, offering no explanation to the class.

Instead, she had the students hand in their papers. She didn't intend to reveal anything about the Special Class just yet; the school would make the announcement in due time.

After collecting all the forms, the homeroom teacher began to flip through them quickly.

Many students in the class possessed quite impressive talents, and she spotted several that made her eyes light up.

However, with Li Yu's "cheat-like" learning talent fresh in her mind, the other gifts she saw only elicited a brief moment of pleasant surprise.

Once she finished categorizing the forms based on the students' chosen paths, the homeroom teacher spoke up: "For now, you may study on your own, or you can start packing your things in anticipation of the upcoming notice."

After making these arrangements, the homeroom teacher left the classroom with the documents.

The students began to bustle about, some packing up while others chatted. As for self-study? That was out of the question.

Only a few people actually studied; most were busy talking about which classes they might be assigned to.

Li Yu, however, silently took out his books and began flipping through them, rapidly recording the contents of every volume in his hands.

With the help of his Eye of Keigeko, he easily grasped and synthesized all the information within.

In just half an hour, Li Yu had finished reading every book he had.

Not knowing when the teacher would return, Li Yu pulled out his phone to pass the time.

Many of the apps in this world were no different from those in his previous life, including certain short-video platforms.

Opening a familiar-looking Black Note app, Li Yu began searching for video bloggers who taught martial arts.

Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of such videos, covering all sorts of weapons. Li Yu simply started watching them one by one.

Whether they were useful or not, Li Yu learned them all. It didn't take much time anyway, so he treated it like scrolling through videos.

Under these circumstances, the information regarding various martial arts in Li Yu's mind continued to grow.

He even grasped techniques like force-generation that some bloggers hadn't even taught, thanks to his powerful learning ability.

Li Yu even suspected that if someone were to teach cultivation right now, he could probably master it with a single glance.

It had to be said, the Eye of Keigeko was truly powerful; it was an invincible talent.

Most importantly, Li Yu wouldn't be plagued by a myriad of illnesses; his Eye of Keigeko didn't carry such side effects.

With no social obligations, Li Yu spent the next two periods slowly scrolling through short videos.

When the bell rang for the third period, the homeroom teacher returned to the classroom.

She held a list in her hand, and the students fell silent the moment they saw it.

"The class assignments are out. I will call out names; when you hear yours, pack your things and head to your new class," the homeroom teacher said, skipping the small talk and getting straight to business.

Hearing this, everyone perked up. This concerned whether they would remain in the same class as their friends, so everyone listened intently.

"Ye Fan, Zhang Wu, Li Lin, Cai Kun, Martial Arts Class B," the homeroom teacher began, reading the names according to their new classes.

Some students were overjoyed to find themselves in the same class as their best friends; for high schoolers, this was more important than anything else.

Being assigned to an unfamiliar class was daunting, so having someone they knew was the best possible outcome—their social circles wouldn't need to change at all.

As the homeroom teacher continued to call out names, the classroom gradually grew noisy, but a single slap of her hand against the podium silenced everyone instantly.

Zhang Li's deterrent power in the classroom was immense; a single slight gesture was enough to make the students go quiet.

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, the homeroom teacher, Zhang Li, continued reading the names. Li Yu, however, grew increasingly puzzled—why hadn't his name been called?

As the names on the list were read out, his confusion deepened, only to be resolved at the very end.

"Li Yu, Special Class. Follow me in a moment!" After finishing the list, Zhang Li called out Li Yu's name separately.

This immediately left many students confused. What was the Special Class? They had never heard of such a thing; it hadn't even been mentioned before.

"Teacher, what is the Special Class?" When in doubt, ask. Some students put this fine tradition to good use.
