Chapter 87: A Good Way to Improve Study Efficiency

"It failed, huh."

After the results were announced, twenty minutes passed without a system notification, so Mu Yue had a rough idea of the preliminary test's outcome.

The exams I designed won't work; at least exams with too short intervals won't work.

Mu Yue could only very regretfully delete the exam plan of a small test every day and a big test every three days.

If exams can't harvest rewards, then doing this would be meaningless, only making students think you're crazy.

While cultivating at night, Shisui suddenly appeared in front of Mu Yue with a flash, and said with a surprised expression:

"Teacher Mu Yue, I think I've already initially mastered Shunpo."

Immediately after, Shisui demonstrated Shunpo twice in front of Mu Yue.

After watching, Mu Yue could already be sure, but still used Appraisal on Shisui, and sure enough, Shunpo was already showing as Beginner.

"Hmm, you've completed the training for this technique. Next, once you familiarize yourself a bit more, you can continue learning other techniques." Mu Yue closed the panel and nodded.

"In that case, it'll take about another week to master it." Mu Yue thought as he closed the panel.

"Ready, end!" Mu Yue shouted softly.

Mu Yue looked at Might Guy, and cast an Appraisal on Guy, finding that Might Guy's Shunpo proficiency was still thirty points short of reaching Beginner.

Might Guy shook his head. I feel it's quite unusual.

"It's not that it's not possible, it just depends on whether they want it or not." Mu Yue nodded and said.

On the contrary, the one who reaches the finish line first can add eighty questions in one go, with the least increase in difficulty, and still must break through their limits.

The moment he heard Mu Yue shout "end," Obito directly, without looking back, burst into extreme speed and rushed out violently, as if he had used even the strength from nursing.

"Right, Teacher Mu Yue, this technique for increasing speed is too hard. Don't you have any slow learning method?"

The two heard what Mu Yue said. Although they didn't quite understand, they both followed Mu Yue's instructions, fully unleashing and displaying their limit speed.

"Youth is about training less and doing fewer questions!" Might Guy couldn't bear to see Mu Yue's sad expression, so he quickly changed his words. But thinking back to previous days, he couldn't help but have tears streaming down his face.

"That's too bad. I thought you would like the training method that combines theory and practice." Mu Yue showed a disappointed expression, seeming a bit sad.

He really wanted to use a slow learning method to master the speed-increasing technique, complete the challenge as soon as possible, and learn Shunpo.

Even if it means doing questions, I cannot let Teacher Mu Yue down.

"Yes, of course, I do." Obito looked at Mu Yue with a longing gaze.

As for Obito, for now Mu Yue did not plan to let him learn new Fire Release ninjutsu; one Great Dragon Fire and one Fireball were enough for the time being. More might cause Obito decision paralysis during battle.

"Teacher Mu Yue, actually, I think the current efficiency is already quite low." Obito wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, trying to salvage the situation.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing boundless fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

"Ah?" Obito was dumbfounded, not expecting Mu Yue's slow learning method to be that kind of terrifying training that would give you nightmares at night.

Seeing Mu Yue once again show his usual warm smile, Obito breathed a sigh of relief, and then wanted to give his own mouth two hard slaps.

It contained not only the desire for failure but also the fear of questions.

Obviously, what Obito could think of, Might Guy could think of too; no matter what, the one who reaches the finish line first is the most comfortable.

"Since you two have different speeds, Guy, your distance will be slightly longer."

In the past, when Might Guy and Obito trained together, both of their movement techniques improved rapidly.

"For every half second faster than your own limit speed, you do seven fewer questions. For every half second slower than your limit speed, you do seven additional questions. Whoever reaches the finish line first can do an extra eighty questions. Each person starts with seventy questions." Mu Yue thought for a moment and stated the competition rules.

Obito's eyes lit up instead. Since Mu Yue asked, there must be a method to help them improve learning efficiency, so Obito quickly replied:

"I even specifically prepared the theoretical knowledge they need to learn next semester. I'll have to use it when school starts next semester."

At that time, because they were all training in taijutsu, the main goal was to let them hit Hyuga Hizashi, while Hyuga Hizashi could not hit them.

Mu Yue called Obito and Might Guy together and asked with a chuckle:

"Don't you feel that the current learning efficiency is a bit slow?"

"Just think about it carefully, Teacher Mu Yue, your idea is indeed good. It both strengthens speed and increases theoretical knowledge." To comfort Mu Yue, Obito said while crying inside.

Mu Yue first planned out the running route and the final point for the two, and then found a position where both could clearly hear the sound.

He planned to teach Shisui some more Fire Release techniques to increase Shisui's offensive options.

Mu Yue then said, "In that case, let's have a competition on who can break their own speed limit first."

For every half-second they break their personal speed limit, they can skip seven problems. Though it seems quite good, breaking a limit is never that simple.

Might Guy had already nearly mastered the basics of Shunpo, while Obito hadn't even started learning the real Shunpo. If the distance were the same, Obito wouldn't even need to compete; he'd just go straight to doing problems endlessly.

"Why does he hate following up on conversations so much? If he hadn't responded to Mu Yue-sensei when he first brought up training efficiency, none of this would have happened," Obito cursed inwardly.

Might Guy also showed an expression of agreement and said, "I think so too."

As soon as he heard the rules, he felt like he was back in the combat training for the final exams — a familiar reward system, a familiar starting debt. If he slowed down a bit more, he would enter the installment payment phase.

Shisui learned techniques very quickly, so he could safely let Shisui master more options.

Obito felt a bit displeased inside. He had also had a similar experience — an idea he had racked his brains for the sake of his comrades, only for it to be easily rejected.

Mu Yue silently timed the two, gaining a general understanding of their speeds.

"Then let's prepare to start the competition." Mu Yue said, once again showing a gentle smile.

Right now, they were actually still training the same thing — both were practicing Shunpo. However, Obito hadn't yet trained the complete Shunpo; essentially, they were both practicing the Body Flicker Technique to improve speed.

"If I can quickly master Shunpo, I want to do it too." Might Guy also couldn't resist the temptation of quick mastery.

However, since things had come to this, Obito had no choice. Since the competition was unavoidable, the only thing to do was to minimize his own losses in the race.

"That's great. You two run one lap first to show me your fastest speeds," Mu Yue said with a gentle smile.

It had been less than a month since they got rid of the combat-plus-problem-solving training. Might Guy didn't want to return to the days of doing problems every day.

Mu Yue looked at Might Guy, then at Obito who was practicing speed-increasing techniques, and came up with a pretty good bad idea in his mind.
