Don't Push Me, I Just Want to Lie Low

[The Hundred Schools of Thought, no brainless protagonist, slow start]

Chen Lin spent eighteen years grinding away in his previous life. On the day the exam results came out, he returned to school to collect his records and was crushed to death by someone who jumped from a building. Reborn in a high-martial-arts world where the Hundred Schools of Thought contended, he decided he’d spend this life as a lazy loafer.

Too bad his talent had other ideas. He only had to read the classics of the Hundred Schools once to master them.

He did his best to keep it under wraps, but his homeroom teacher grew suspicious, the PE rep from the neighboring class, a pair of twins, saw through his disguise, and his opponents at the citywide competition lined up, waiting for him to slip up.

“Can you stop pushing me? I just want to be a quiet little loafer.”

Then he looked at the finalists’ list, then at the draw in his hand.

“…Fine. I’ll win one more round, then lie down.”
