Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 25 Why does Silphie want to learn swordsmanship?!

Rudy was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this.

"ha?"

Hilfi also looked puzzled.

Rudy then seemed to understand something and turned to look at Sylphie.

"Magic, well, it's not impossible. That way, when we're not around, Silph can use magic to fight back if she's bullied."

"I"

Allen nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, that's why it's more suitable for you to teach her, because I don't know any magic at all."

"that."

"Oh, this is a bit troublesome. But since it's Allen's request, I'll reluctantly agree."

"You'll only teach me if I don't tell you."

"Why are you teaching him magic? You should be the one to teach him."

Hilfi failed to interrupt twice. She looked left at Allen and right at Rudy, and realized that neither of them had any intention of listening to her. She became anxious.

"I want to learn swordsmanship!"

As they spoke, the group had already reached the large tree on the hillside.

The wind is gentle.

The last words Rudy uttered, "It would be better if you taught him swordsmanship," were blown away into the air.

He blinked, a smile slowly spreading across his face. He turned to look at Allen, who looked completely bewildered, and gave him amusement.

"Hehe, Lord Allen, it seems your little boy doesn't want to learn magic from me, but rather swordsmanship from you! What are you waiting for?! Perfect opportunity to train him! Quickly agree!"

Allen's mouth opened and closed like a goldfish's, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Huh? This butterfly effect is hilarious! You, a Laplace factor carrier, going to learn swordsmanship? Are you kidding me?"

Why?

Hilfi blinked.

She then turned her head and stretched out her little hand, making a slashing motion towards Rudy, who was watching the show from the side. As her pointed ears twitched in the air, her hand adorably struck the air in front of her, making a whooshing sound at the same time.

Rudy was unharmed, but his lips twitched.

Allen stumbled on the spot.

"Wait a minute! You don't actually think that projecting battle aura in swordsmanship is cool, do you?"

Hilfi and Rudy both showed a hint of surprise, tilting their heads to look at Allen.

"Isn't he handsome?"

They still spoke in unison.

Allen was taken aback for a moment, then his face fell.

"Wait a minute! This butterfly effect is a bit too obvious. In the original story, Rudy thought swordsmanship was good, but he didn't think it was particularly cool. And Sylphie is even more outrageous, specifically asking to learn hand-blade aura projection. Seriously, is it inappropriate for a healer specializing in non-chanting healing spells to learn that? What kind of healer goes into melee combat with a sword?"

Hilfi looked at Allen, whose expression was gradually becoming serious, and her face showed some fear.

Rudy, on the other hand, acted as if it were none of his business, turning his head to the side to admire the wild cursive script that Allen had carved on the tree yesterday, but the occasional twitching of his ears indicated that he was still in a state of amusement.

Hilfi looked at Allen, who hadn't said a word for a long time, shrank back, and her eyes darted around.

Oh no, does this mean Allen doesn't like me learning swordsmanship?

"That one."

"If Allen doesn't like it, I'll learn magic from Rudy, that's fine too. Magic is fine too. I can even blow-dry your hair for you, Allen."

A gust of wind blew by, making Allen and Rudy's hair all messy.

They both stared at Silphie with incredulous expressions.

"what?"

-

"I see. So Sylphie hasn't seen anyone seriously display attack magic before."

After a flurry of activity, Allen was shocked to discover that Hilfi had never seen attack magic before. His father, Roltz, was only good at archery but knew nothing about magic. His mother was a typical domestic helper, skilled at sewing, mending, cooking, and boiling water, but she didn't know magic.

So rather than magic tricks that simply involve releasing hot water and blowing on hair, she prefers to learn the kind of fighting spirit that can smear mud all over someone's face with a flick of the wrist.

The latter looks more aggressive.

This perfectly aligns with the values ​​of young children who are interested in whatever is impressive.

"That's true. Roltz's mother, Elina Lisze, was also a swordswoman, so it's normal that he was raised without learning magic. And Sylphie is only five years old, living in such a remote village; it's perfectly normal that she's never seen magic before."

Allen sighed and facepalmed as he watched Rudy chase after Sylphie around the tree, using his scorching hand and blow-drying magic, while shouting something like, "You should learn this so you can blow-dry your beloved Lord Allen's hair!"

"What the heck is this, blow-drying my beloved Lord Eren's hair?"

"Rudy!"

Rudy chased after Hilfi, then turned to look at Allen.

"what?"

"Stop fooling around. Since she's never seen proper attack magic before, you demonstrate it for her."

Rudy pulled a long face.

"Can't I learn swordsmanship?"

Allen glanced at Sylphie, who was watching him cautiously, and sighed silently.

"I've observed that her physical condition isn't suitable for learning swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is very much about talent. Don't be fooled by Master Bao's usual carefree and nonchalant demeanor, which makes it seem like he can easily achieve a high level of swordsmanship with just a little practice. In fact, he's a swordsmanship genius in the strictest sense."

Rudy was taken aback.

"I see."

Allen looked at Rudy, his smile gradually fading, because he suddenly realized that Rudy had already reached the Saint-level in magical skill.

"Rudy, according to Loki, your magical talent is terrifyingly high. You can even cast spells without chanting, and you've already reached the level of a Water Saint-level magician. Moreover, you've reached the Water Saint level because the highest level of magic she can master is Water Saint-level, not because your maximum strength is Water Saint-level."

As Rudy listened to Allen's praise of him, a smile gradually spread across his face.

But the next sentence froze his smile on his face.

"So, I'm curious, just how strong are you right now? If we were to create enough distance, who would be stronger between us?"

Rudy looked at Allen's serious face and asked in surprise.

"What are you talking about? You're my swordsmanship teacher, so of course you're stronger, Allen."

Allen looked at Rudy, his face expressionless.

"I mean, in terms of swordsmanship versus magic, who is stronger?"

Rudy's face fell even more.

"Since you can hold your own against Father, you're definitely better."

"Do you really think so?"

Rudy stared at Allen with his mouth agape, speechless for a long time.

With his mild-mannered and non-aggressive personality, he felt helpless in the face of the unexpected developments. Even though he had been awarded the title of Water Saint-level Magician by Loki, he never really felt it, let alone fight against others. Even if he became an adventurer in the future, he would still be the type to avoid conflicts with others as much as possible.

"That's only natural, isn't it?"

"Use your full attack magic against me, and let Sylphie see the power of attack magic."

Rudy was quite bewildered and didn't even realize that Allen was referring to Sylphie instead of Sylphie.

"Are you kidding me?"

The next instant, Rudy felt a gust of wind brush past his face, and a blade gleaming with a cold light was already at his neck.

Under the sunlight, the slender blade shimmered like a mirror.

Rudy saw his pale face reflected in the blade, and even though the back of the blade was facing his neck, he could still feel a chilling aura emanating from it.

He swallowed hard and looked ahead along the blade.

Alan, who was just a few meters away a moment ago, is now right in front of him.

He lowered his head, squinted, and leaned down to look directly into Rudy's astonished pupils.

"I said, treat me as an enemy, and then use attack magic on me."

Rudy stared blankly into Allen's eyes, realizing that he was serious.
