Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Chapter 111 Get Ready, Pufferfish!

After a delightful birthday feast, I changed into my pajamas with a blissful expression and lay back in my familiar bed.

There are also cute little penguins nearby that you can hug to your chest and sleep together.

I just hope she doesn't drool on my face this time.

【Day 2】

After some further consideration, I have decided to bid farewell to Old Deng ahead of schedule.

Having achieved the purpose of coming to the Holy Land of Swords, staying any longer would be a waste of time. Old Deng might just go out and become a wanderer at any time.

Although I will stay a little longer, it won't be too long.

This might be the last time I see Old Deng in the near future. Although we always tease each other, Old Deng is undoubtedly a very competent mentor.

I have some respect for this old man, Deng. In this world, he is the only person I can call my master.

So let's treat this as our last meeting and say goodbye to Old Deng properly.

[Sword God's Residence]

"Huh? You're leaving already?"

"Not so fast, but I'll probably have already left by the time you return."

"I see... When you came back, I felt you were different. So, have you found what you were missing?"

"Yes, Master."

"Hahahaha! I never thought I'd be called 'Master' by you... In that case, let me see what you've found."

There was no fancy performance; I simply straightened my back again after bowing to Old Deng.

Then the sword was drawn from its sheath with the right hand, drawing a perfect horizontal line in front of the eyes. After that, the sword and arm stopped at one side, assuming a very cool one-wing stance.

This was just a casual draw of the sword, not even the usual sword-drawing stance of the Sword God School, yet this sword was faster than any sword I had ever struck before.

"Tsk... Damn, that's outrageous..."

You're only ten years old, right? That one sword strike alone is at least at the level of a Sword King...

When you grow a little older, even the Sword Emperor won't be enough to take you on...

So, should I bestow upon you the title of Sword King or Sword Emperor...?

This is indeed a rather difficult question, and the Shadow Lord has offered his guidance on it.

"Although Saint-level strength is somewhat weak, I actually feel that 'Shining Sword Saint' sounds better than 'Shining Sword King' or 'Sword Emperor,' or..."

How about you just ban the Flash Sword God directly?

"Fuck you!"

This was Old Deng's instinctive reaction, but after thinking for a long time, he still waved his hand.

"Never mind..."

I'll bestow upon you the title of Sword King for now. When you grow up, remember to come back and defeat me. Then you'll be the Sword God...

Where do you plan to go next?

"I plan to spend some time at the magic university to check out the library and fill in any gaps in my magical knowledge. As for becoming a sword god, forget it. I'm planning to start my own sect."

"Huh? I taught you swordsmanship hoping you'd inherit my name! So I could retire and enjoy life!"

Does Old Deng have such high expectations of me?

But......

"Sword God, you don't have to torture me like this, do you? You know perfectly well that I get a headache just looking at idiots, and yet all these idiots here are having meetings. You still expect me to take over your position?"

"I've taught you so much! Can't you at least let me have some fun? Fulfill my wish?!"

"How would you like to enjoy yourself? Shall I lend you my rotten ass again? So you can have some fun?"

"Who wants your rotten ass!"

"What about Kino...?"

"I definitely wouldn't want his ass either!!"

"What I mean is, Kino has the potential to be a sword god! You should train him more; who knows, one day he might just cut you down with a single sword strike!"

"That kid... he's just got some talent, but him? Beat me? Dream on!"

"Maybe you, Old Deng..."

"Maybe I'm something else?"

"Maybe one day, he'll take a liking to your daughter, and then you'll say something like, 'If you can beat me, I might as well do something like that.'"

Then, after a little practice, Kino beat you, Old Man.

"You're talking nonsense!!!"

[After a short period of time]

I don't know what I did to offend Old Deng, but he instantly teleported in front of me and, taking advantage of his size, challenged me to a fight...

In the end, Old Deng still used my ass to have some fun.

After Old Deng had his fill of beating people up, he returned to his seat, took out paper and pen, and started writing something, while I, the King, lay on the ground repairing my buttock armor.

After I finished repairing the armor, Old Deng finished writing his letter and then threw it in front of me.

"What are you writing?"

The Shadow Lord could only barely confirm that it was a character.

However, like a doctor's handwritten prescription, it is difficult to decipher...

"Tsk... It's a letter of recommendation. You can slip it to them later; it'll make things easier."

Old Deng, he's thinking about quite a lot...

But wouldn't that mean missing a scene where someone gets a face-slapping moment instead of showing off?

Well, this is fine too.

that is......

"Master, you really need to practice your handwriting. It looks like scribbles..."

"Tch, you don't understand art. There are plenty of people begging to buy Lao Tzu's calligraphy."

"..."

Okay, even though he's just a show-off like those people in my previous life, at least Old Deng is a genuine master...

"Since you want to establish your own school, I will also grant you the [permission to transmit all teachings]."

"Huh? What's that?"

"How long have you been here?! Don't you know?! Get the hell out of here!"

"oh......"

It's truly embarrassing to admit, but I haven't paid any attention to this kind of nonsense since I came here...

Judging from the name, it seems to mean that I am permitted to teach disciples, right?

But I already sent the martial arts manual to the witches...

Never mind, I'd better not say anything more.

The Shadow Lord then bowed to Old Deng.

"Goodbye, Master."

"Um... goodbye..."

Next, we'll fix some minor issues with Alucard and arrange the move in the meantime.

As for the house and furniture here, let's leave them behind...

In that case, there aren't many things to take with you, mainly Aisha's toy friends and all sorts of random luggage.

As for my shameful possessions, you can throw them all into the inherent barrier.

【after a while】

While I was in seclusion, Old Deng and his wife left sometime during my seclusion, and I heard they took the two little ones with them.

That's right, it's the Demon King and his dog.

Old Deng's plan was mainly to search in the direction Alucard had left, and also to help the old woman find her granddaughter and broaden the horizons of the two little ones.

As for fighting the Dragon God?

Ugh......

I hope Old Deng is alright...

My research over this period of time has also been somewhat inexplicable.

EA has already been created, but its output has been strictly limited to a mere 500,000 degrees Celsius, which is only the power of the Specium Ray, enough to kill most enemies. Its mana consumption is also not high, roughly equivalent to a Saint-level spell, with most of the mana used to add weather effects.

But Alucard's problem is rather inexplicable.

First of all, I don't know why, but my sense of direction is always a bit off, and I can't figure out what's wrong with it.

However, this is not a big problem.

The next problem is what's giving me a headache. I've finally figured out the reason why the range of my magic control increased, but the precision decreased.

It's probably because the arrangement of the magic loops was wrong. Originally, the magic loops were a one-to-one replica of my body, and then they were stacked continuously along the original route. However, some arrangement problems occurred during the stacking process. At first, I thought it was because the ancient thread-arranging master hadn't arranged the threads carefully.

However, after I carefully reviewed it again, I found that the places that I had previously confirmed were now flawed.

After observation, it was found that this was probably because all the parts were still in their growth stage. As these magic circuits grew and were forged, the magic circuits underwent changes such as expansion, which caused some minor problems with the original arrangement.

But when will this growth period end?

Am I supposed to keep fixing this unrepairable machine forever?

However, it only reduces the microscopic precision of magic control. Although it is reduced to a certain extent, the amount of magic circuitry has been increased.

So in practice, if you work hard, you can achieve the same level of precision as before, or even higher, but it will be more difficult.

To use magnetic field power as an analogy, without Alucard, my body has about a few hundred thousand horsepower of magic power, which is enough to fly, but the consumption is still quite high. However, the precision is at the ultimate level.

With Alucard, one can soar to the sky, reaching 500,000 horsepower, and fly freely against gravity, only with slightly weaker control.

It's just a weapon anyway, so it's okay to maintain it from time to time.

That's how I comforted myself.

That's about it for now. Everything's packed, time to move!

[Some time later, in front of the gates of the Holy Land of Swords]

"Old Deng, didn't you go there? How come you and that old woman are covered in injuries?"

"..."

"Did we encounter... the Dragon God?"

"..."

Neither the two old men nor the little guy replied...

Old Deng and his wife looked disheveled, their clothes were tattered, and Old Deng's armor had a large dent in it...

Nina also had a strange smell...
