The New Teacher is Quietly Cute

Kato Megumi nodded at Yukino Yukinoshita's words; it was indeed so.

The two didn't dwell on it further and continued eating their meal. The food in this school cafeteria was actually quite decent.

Meanwhile, Li Yu had already walked out of the cafeteria. While heading back to the classroom, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A new piece of information surfaced in his mind: he had inadvertently learned Kato Megumi's talent?

As he sorted through the information in his mind, Li Yu's expression turned strange.

His talent had activated unintentionally. Although he hadn't had much contact with Kato Megumi—only brief interactions in class and while eating—it had still successfully copied her talent.

This was somewhat unexpected for Li Yu. Moreover, unlike Kato Megumi's passive talent, his version could be activated at will.

"That's truly subtle, but not bad at all. In that case, let's call this talent Presence Concealment!" Li Yu's expression was nuanced.

He really hadn't expected his talent to subconsciously learn Kato Megumi's.

Furthermore, he had optimized and upgraded it; while Kato Megumi's was merely a passive trait, Li Yu's was active.

Passive activation versus active activation were two completely different things. At the very least, Li Yu wouldn't be stuck with it on when he didn't need it, unlike Kato Megumi.

Kato Megumi's talent was active at all times, which led to her rather awkward situation.

People with weak strength would subconsciously ignore her, and only those stronger than her could notice her.

Once her own strength grew, perhaps even more people would overlook her?

This was the source of Kato Megumi's distress, but these issues were nothing to Li Yu.

He could turn it on when needed and switch it off when not; for Li Yu, this had become a skill.

Perhaps he could also learn some assassin-style moves and techniques.

Li Yu returned to the classroom alone. There were few people inside, as most had gone to eat.

Sitting back in his seat, Li Yu took out his phone and continued watching videos, this time focusing on dagger techniques.

From morning until now, Li Yu had learned quite a lot, especially regarding martial arts.

Li Yu felt that in this regard, he wouldn't lose to anyone in the school.

If it came to hand-to-hand combat, few students in the school could likely beat Li Yu.

Beyond that, Li Yu had also learned how to use various weapons; he intended to become a weapon master.

With such a talent, mastering the eighteen varieties of martial arts shouldn't be a problem, right?

As for magic, Li Yu had learned a few minor spells, but due to his limited internal mana reserves, he couldn't cast many yet.

He had learned them, but without mana, he couldn't use them. After all, Li Yu was still just a novice who had only just come into contact with magic.

As a good student, Li Yu diligently studied in the classroom.

Before long, Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita returned. After greeting Li Yu at their respective seats, they went back to their own business.

Kato Megumi sat behind Li Yu and felt a surge of confusion as she watched him scrolling through videos.

If she remembered correctly, Li Yu had been scrolling through videos ever since she entered the classroom.

Could online tutorials really be that effective? Kato Megumi couldn't help but feel curious.

However, seeing how focused Li Yu was, she didn't disturb him and instead took out her own books to study.

The lunch break passed quickly. The afternoon bell rang, and the students returned to their seats.

Hearing the bell, Li Yu put away his phone and waited for the teacher to arrive.

A few minutes later, a woman with hair reaching her waist and a heroic air walked in.

"Hello everyone, I am your new martial arts teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka. Everyone, pack up and follow me to the large classroom downstairs!" After saying this, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked straight out.

Her brisk, fiery personality left many in the class stunned, but they were quick to react and stood up to follow.

Li Yu was equally surprised; he truly hadn't expected Shizuka Hiratsuka to be their martial arts teacher.

But with Yukino Yukinoshita here, perhaps it wasn't so surprising that she was here too.

Li Yu stood up and followed the class downstairs to the massive martial arts hall.

"Find a spot and stand!" As everyone entered the large room, Shizuka Hiratsuka shouted at them.

The group found their places and stood, waiting for Shizuka Hiratsuka's next instructions.

"OK, everyone is here, so let's begin the lesson." Shizuka Hiratsuka scanned the room to ensure no one was missing, then stopped wasting time and started the class.

The content of the martial arts course was essentially teaching various techniques. Shizuka Hiratsuka had everyone watch as she took a stance and performed a set of boxing moves.

This was one of the boxing styles taught by the school. Although it was basic, in Shizuka Hiratsuka's hands, it whistled with power.

Every punch she threw caused the air to crackle, with faint traces of energy flowing through her movements.

After finishing the set, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the students and said, "You shouldn't be strangers to this boxing style; many of you have likely learned it already."

Shizuka Hiratsuka began to lecture slowly. Hearing her words, everyone nodded; it was true—the school had started teaching this style once they entered high school.

"Today, I am going to teach you the advanced applications of this fist technique. I see that many of you in the class have already reached the second stage, so next, I will instruct you on how to condense true qi within your bodies." This was the true purpose of this lesson.

Teaching everyone to condense true qi and then break through to the third stage—the students in this class were basically all at the second stage, with some even on the verge of breaking through to the third.

The only thing they lacked was true qi; as long as they could condense it, breaking through to the third stage would be just around the corner.

It could be said that the students in this class were geniuses among geniuses, especially considering that some students in other classes hadn't even reached the second stage yet.

"Teacher, do those of us who specialize in magic also need to condense true qi?" This class didn't just have martial arts students; there were magic students as well.

Facing this question, Shizuka Hiratsuka grinned and said, "Yes, you can't escape it either. You need to realize that the class you are in now is the Special Class! There is no such thing as 'specializing' here!"

The students in this class were all required to cultivate both magic and martial arts, so next, you little brats, prepare yourselves for devilish training. That principal went to great lengths for your sake!
