Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 84 Instant Mission Released! Two Assessments, Two Expectations

Paul, Senis, and Lilia had already rushed to the courtyard gate in a panic. The former stared in astonishment at the 'spectacle' of Philip and Allen staring at each other, wanting to speak several times but immediately shutting her mouth again, as if afraid of saying something wrong.

Senis and Lilia, standing to the side, looked at Allen with great concern.

This scene was reflected in Rudy's eyes, and he felt his blood run cold.

After Allen's identity was clarified, everyone reached a consensus.

Allen cannot acknowledge his father.

His background is complicated. As the eldest son of Mayor Philip of Roya, he was sent to the capital at a young age to be the "son" of James, the next head of Boreas. Now, he has escaped from the capital and is carrying a wanted poster.

If she were to acknowledge her biological father, her identity would be exposed, violating the family's tradition of succession and she would be sent back to the capital.

Meanwhile, James in the capital has been almost certainly confirmed as the one who issued the warrant, with the aim of eliminating any potential threat by killing Alan, Philip's son who has already realized his true identity.

This will definitely not work.

"We must protect Eren."

Has he never experienced family affection?

Then we are his family.

This is a consensus that all members of the Grerat family have reached since last winter, as if it were an imprint on their minds.

At that very moment, Philip was standing right in front of him, less than three meters away.

What should I do?

It was so sudden.

How did Allen's father suddenly appear here?

Has Allen's identity been exposed?

Rudy looked at Paul and Senis and noticed that they both had a helpless expression, as if they wanted to speak but were afraid that speaking would lead to the premature exposure of Allen's identity.

It was obvious that they knew why Alan's father had come, but they were also caught off guard and were now hesitant to speak, fearing that they might inadvertently draw Philip's attention to Alan.

The situation is already very bad.

Rudy swallowed hard, stiffly turning to look at Allen beside him, only to find that the other man still had that smiling expression, seemingly not worried at all about his identity being exposed.

He continued to look at Philip, appearing quite relaxed.

In his vision, smoke and dust were intertwined with his inner thoughts.

"Tell me, just from meeting him, how impressive must I be to Philip, a complete stranger, to immediately get an engagement rating?"

"Or is it that this 2-point participation score was already generated beforehand, but only became apparent now that the tutoring period has officially begun?"

Don't you have an answer in your heart? I can tell from your actions that you've already considered almost all the possibilities along the way.

"Indeed, I've basically thought it all through, and considered all the possibilities."

But what I'm more concerned about now is...

"Is there a mission? Or will we get our participation score independently, like with Paul and Senis?"

The system's smoke and dust danced in front of Allen's face, as if laughing.

[Immediate Mission Released: Philip's Assessment and Expectations.]

[Six months earlier than expected, the host met this body's biological father. As a cunning politician, he had only lost the power struggle in the capital more than ten years ago because James was older and had two more years of experience cultivating his influence there.]

What is his purpose in coming here?

[Complete the assessment, meet expectations, and choose your own path amidst vastly different possibilities in the future.]

【考核（0/2），倒计时：24:00:00。任务奖励：参与度评分：10分。】

【期许（0/2），倒计时：48:00:00。任务奖励：参与度评分：10分。】

[Mission begins.]

Despite the tense gazes from Hilfi and Rudy, Allen showed none of the sense of crisis Rudy had imagined. He simply watched the writing fade away, his eyes sweeping over the carriage beside him before returning to Philip.

Just when I was worried about not being able to go to Roya and starting my tutoring period, Philip came along with a godsend.

An assessment? Interesting.

Philip smiled and nodded in response from a short distance away, as if acknowledging that his comment was "interesting."

Aside from the father and son, the entire Grerat family was frozen in shock.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Ellen, caught in the vortex of the incident, seemed oblivious to the atmosphere. She simply withdrew her gaze from Philip, lowered her eyelids, and gently took Hilfi's hand as they walked toward the front door. But the next moment, she felt a sense of resistance in her hand.

In just a short while, her palms were completely soaked with sweat.

? ?

He looked down at Hilfi in surprise.

Her reddish-brown eyes darted nervously from side to side as she unconsciously tidied her smooth white hair, her gaze wandering over her white dress as if she had discovered many mud spots on it.

But the dress is pure white, so how could there be any dirt on it?

Allen blinked, somewhat confused, and turned to look at Rudy beside him.

Rudy had a similar expression.

Allen instantly understood what the two were worried about, and simply said something.

"It's okay, let's go."

Rudy and Hilfi looked at him and finally moved to follow him.

Step by step.

A distance of more than three meters is very close.

Several people, each with their own thoughts, had already stopped in front of the door.

Paul tried to get Allen's attention using various facial expressions;

Alan, however, looked at Philip with a relaxed smile.

Philip glanced at Paul, a knowing look flashing in his eyes, then narrowed his eyes and looked back at Allen.

No one spoke.

Finally, it was Hilfi who broke the silence.

She blinked, and at Rudy's signal, took a deep breath discreetly before speaking somewhat nervously.

"Are you a guest of the Knight's household? Hello!"

Philip blinked, shifting his gaze from Allen to Sylphie.

In an instant, the strange atmosphere that had been building up between them melted away.

Rudy clenched his fist.

"Well done, Silphie! Now we should completely neutralize Alan. If he's invisible, his identity won't be revealed, and this man definitely won't recognize him. According to Alan, Philip has never seen him before! Let alone now that he's changed his appearance!"

All eyes turned to Hilfi, who was standing next to Allen. She shrank back, her white hair swaying in front of her neck, and looked at Philip with some insecurity.

Philip tilted his head, his gaze lingering briefly on Allen and Hilfi's clasped hands, before bending down to pat her head.

"Yes. Your hair color is lovely. What's your name?"

"Thank you. My name is Silphiet."

"Hilufiette? What a nice name, it sounds lovely. My name is Philip Boreas Greirat, you can just call me Philip."

"Thank you, Uncle Philip."

Rudy breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"The attention has been diverted, great! Now I can fool them and find an opportunity to reconcile our statements with Paul and Senis."

Just as he was lost in thought, and as Rudy's smile began to bloom, Philip suddenly spoke.

"Are you called Allen?"

He turned to look at Allen, his gaze seemingly trying to see into his very soul.
