Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

Speaking of revealing magical talent, Rudeus thinks of the "budget-exploding" performance in the first season of the anime.

So, in order to respect the original work, Rudeus decided to unleash a mid-level water cannon spell.

It was a sunny afternoon.

Senis was busy in her little vegetable garden, while Paul was busy sneakily groping Senis's butt.

Rudeus, carrying the magic book, walked out of his house as usual and headed towards the flower bed in the garden.

Upon spotting Rudius, Paul immediately withdrew his hand from Senis's buttocks and sat down properly.

After realizing that Rudeus wasn't paying attention, he responded with a smirk to Senis's playful slap.

Um... how should I put it?

Although they are already parents of a three-year-old, Senis and Paul are only young people in their early twenties.

Rudius felt that perhaps he had disturbed them.

After all, I mostly read books at home and rarely take them out to read.

But today is different; intermediate-level magic can blast a huge hole in your house.

Perhaps from a showy perspective of demonstrating destructive power, blowing up one's house is necessary.

Looking back later, it can be regarded as a kind of heroic deed.

Like so-and-so from one of the Seven Great Powers, who blew up his house with magic when he was three years old...

But given Rudius's life experience of living to the age of thirty in his previous life, he should still "amplify" his appearance in order to alleviate the family's financial burden.

Children from poor families are pragmatic.

Actually, if you don't pretend, casting a basic spell is no problem. A three-year-old child who can cast a spell without being taught is already a genius.

But if you can pretend, why wouldn't you?

Being practical doesn't preclude being pretentious.

Rudyus was also looking forward to Senis's happy reaction.

Open the magic book, turn to the page on the water cannon magic, hold the book in your left hand and raise it with your right.

"Hmm... Gentle water spirit, queen of the streams flowing across the earth, wash away everything with your inner strength—[Water Cannon]"

A giant water sphere, two meters in diameter, quickly took shape and shot out as the chanting ended, hurtling towards the horizon and disappearing from sight.

The sound of air being cut filled my ears. The huge water sphere disintegrated continuously during flight due to air resistance until it flew out of sight and was worn away and disappeared.

Only a slightly curved line of water was left in the air.

Farmers busy in the fields looked up in confusion at the raindrops that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Rudius saw faint lines of water spread out in the sky, forming a brief but beautiful rainbow.

Senis and Paul, feeling guilty for being caught being intimate, immediately turned their attention to Rudius as soon as he began to chant.

He was momentarily stunned by what he was seeing.

Rudeus stared in astonishment at the trajectory of the water cannon, for this was indeed the first time he had ever cast an intermediate-level spell.

The enormous water sphere startled it as well.

How so?

It seems that not trying intermediate magic at home before was the right decision; energy fluctuations of this magnitude could not escape Paul's perception at all.

If a basic water spell hitting a vital point would cause serious injury, being hit head-on by an intermediate water cannon spell is like hitting the jackpot.

This power is no joke.

Of course, this applies to Rudyus, who is of a child-like size.

"Wow!!! Honey! Our Rudy is a genius!" Senis's scream shattered the silence.

"No, I mean... this is intermediate-level magic, how did he do that???"

Even though it was happening right in front of him, Paul still couldn't quite process reality for a moment.

Senis simply clasped her hands together, happily jumping and spinning around. Her joyful atmosphere, figure, and movements made her look like a complete young girl.

Rudius, seeing this, was also moved by Senes's happy mood.

She ran to Paul's side, raised her hands, and started running in circles around Paul and Senis.

"I'm a genius! I'm a genius! Woohoo! Yay!"

Paul stared blankly at the noisy mother and son.

After a while of commotion, Senis excitedly picked up Rudeus and asked, "Rude, you just read what was in the book, didn't you?"

"Yes," Rudius immediately nodded in affirmation.

Only Paul remained with a confused expression; if a picture could be taken of him, it would definitely make a great question mark emoji.

However, that's not quite right. Rather than a question mark, it's more accurate to describe it as a blank expression. After all, it's unrealistic for a child who hasn't even been taught to read to unleash intermediate-level magic.

The main hurdle for casting magic, after excluding magical forces that are considered untouchable in this world, is literacy. At three years old, one can accurately read without instruction.

For Paul, living in a world teeming with illiterate people, this was nothing short of a miracle.

He couldn't understand why this was happening.

Paul couldn't connect Rudius's casual questions during everyday storytelling with learning to read.

In his mind, if literacy were such a simple thing, there wouldn't be so many illiterate people.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Rudeus usually asks Lilia or Senis for advice on most of his questions.

"My dear! Let's hire a tutor right now! This child will surely become a great magician!"

Senis was overjoyed and couldn't help but jump around while hugging Rudeus.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow we'll go to Roya town and post job advertisements! We must properly nurture our child's talents!"

Senis went about planning the next steps on her own, while Paul remained on standby.

Hearing the commotion in the yard, Lilia came out of the house.

Senis reached out and grabbed Lilia's hand, saying, "Lilia, listen to me, Rudy just unleashed an intermediate-level spell! This child is truly a genius. I'm going to find him a tutor right away."

"Wait, wait, didn't we agree that if we had a boy, he would become a swordsman?" Paul said, finally coming to his senses.

"But look how young he is, and he can already use intermediate-level magic!"

"But you can't go back on your word."

"What do you mean by going back on your word? Isn't that something you do all the time?"

Senis released Lilia and pointed at Paul.

"But what I did has nothing to do with this!" Paul quickly explained.

Rudeus was casually placed on the ground by Senis, and it looked like they were about to start an argument.

Just then, Lilia interjected, "How about learning magic in the morning and swordsmanship in the afternoon?"

After a brief pause, Senis and Paul naturally pointed their index fingers forward, looking very affectionate.

"Honey, it's really not good to argue in front of the kids."

"Honey, you're right."

The two gazed at each other tenderly, as if they were about to kiss.

Rudius's eyes lost their sparkle once more.

Fortunately, I'm old enough now, and the two of them need to be more careful about the impact on the child. At least I don't have to worry about the couple having a baby in front of me anymore.

After realizing that nothing was wrong, Lilia tactfully went inside.

Rudeus glanced at Lilia, then at his young parents, and felt that they were about to kiss if they said a few more words. So he silently took the magic book and went back inside.

Anyway, the goal of hiring a private tutor has definitely been achieved, congratulations!

Let the two of them be affectionate in the courtyard.

He casually placed the magic book on the table.

"Lilia," Rudeus called out.

"Young Master..."

Lilia turned around at the sound and saw Rudeus with his arms outstretched, as if asking for a hug, so she had no choice but to pick him up.

As usual, Rudeus first hugged Lilia before saying, "Lilia, I'm a magical genius!"

As he spoke, Rudeus revealed a smug smile, and without chanting, a small water sphere condensed in his right hand.

Lilia, who was about to respond, stared wide-eyed and froze on the spot.

"Huh! Huh!? Isn't there any chanting?"

Being able to use magic and being able to cast spells without chanting are clearly two different concepts.

As a result, Lilia became the first person to know that Rudeus could use incantationless magic.

I originally thought Rudeus was a smart kid who was good at reading the atmosphere, or at least a smart kid who could learn from me how to deal with that kind of atmosphere.

But now it feels like Rudius followed us, perhaps just to show off.

But surely a child who can perform magic without chanting is smarter than a child who can read the atmosphere?

To be able to do something without chanting is the mark of a true genius!

Seeing Lilia's shocked expression, Rudeus laughed happily.

Compared to Senis's joy, Paul's bewilderment, which could shock Lilia, who always seemed calm and meticulous in her work, was also a kind of happiness.

Rudeus chuckled and kissed Lilia on the cheek.
