Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

After a less-than-pleasant encounter.

Loki led Rudeus into the courtyard.

It seems the first magic lesson will be held in the courtyard.

It's probably because they need to demonstrate magic.

"Then let's start with the magic textbook... no, before that, let's first find out how much magic Rudy can use."

How much magic do I know?

Wait a moment, let me think about it.

After Senis decided to hire a tutor, Rudeus stopped hiding his intentions and tried out all the spells in the magic book.

So for Rudeus now, he basically knows all the spells in the spellbook, but he hasn't actually counted how many there are.

Rudeus tilted his head to look at Loki, still slowly counting in his mind.

"Let me demonstrate first," Loki continued, raising her hand. "May the great blessing of water descend upon the place you seek, and may the cool, shallow stream appear here—[WaterBall]."

A water bullet the size of a fist flew out at high speed and snapped in two with a crack, breaking a small tree in the yard.

The drifting water droplets dampened the fence.

Rudius looked bewildered, the mental search process was terminated, and Senis's angry pop-up appeared.

Luo Qixi turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

Rudius responded with a polite smile: "I think Mother will be very angry."

"Huh? What?"

"Those are the trees that Mother carefully protected. After Father cut off the branches last time, Mother looked very scary."

Rudeus answered Loki's question with a sincere expression.

"That wouldn't be good..."

Luo Qixi rushed to the tree in a panic, hurriedly stood up the fallen trunk, and then... took a couple of breaths...

"Ugh... Ugh... The divine power is the sweet sustenance, granting strength to those who have lost their strength to stand up again—[Healing]."

The broken branches sprang back to life.

Rudius watched all of this quietly.

Senis can use healing magic, and Rudeus has seen her use healing magic at her workplace.

But is it reasonable to use it on plants?

Although this is probably not common knowledge for modern people, Rudius knew that in trees, only a small ring of cells near the outer edge of the bark are actually alive.

The woody part inside consisted of dead cells... but clearly, the healing magic had healed that part as well...

However, the concept of cells didn't exist in the medieval world, so both Loki and Senis would probably find this reasonable.

If viewed entirely from a modern perspective, being able to reconnect the woody parts clearly goes beyond the realm of healing; it's more like some kind of time reversal...

There is something in this that Rudius doesn't know.

Since the teacher is right in front of us, we might as well just ask.

"Does healing magic work on plants too?"

"Of course, anything that has life is useful."

Is it alive?

Loki believes that trees are also alive, and this belief is probably based on the entire tree, just as I just deduced.

Although it is uncertain whether human knowledge and research on anatomy in zoology or botany came first, Rudius instinctively felt that zoology should have come first.

I'll ask AI another day.

Therefore, the prerequisite for using healing magic is to have the concept that the other party is "alive"?

Is this a simple consensus?

Is it a concept similar to an axiom in this world?

"Well then, Rudy, why don't you give it a try?" Rocky, who had saved the sapling, continued.

"OK."

Rudius raised his hand and, almost effortlessly, conjured a fist-sized water bullet, which he then launched into the air.

"..."

Loki looked blankly at Rudeus's hand as he cast the spell.

Rudeus sensed that Loki's gaze seemed to wander for a moment.

The silence lasted for a short while.

"Didn't you chant just now?" Loki asked.

"Yes."

Loki looked at Rudeus with wide eyes, "...Is...is that so? I see. Do you feel tired now?"

"No, I can use magic many times."

"I see." Luo Qixi pretended to be nonchalant.

He then muttered to himself, "...I feel like it's worth training properly."

I feel like I've finally said what was on my mind.

However, this reminded Rudeus that Loki's ideal seemed to be to become an excellent teacher.

What is the thing a teacher desires most?

He is definitely a genius student.

Being able to teach anything and understand it after just one explanation will undoubtedly dramatically increase a teacher's sense of self-worth and accomplishment.

For Luo Qixi, who had just graduated from school, meeting a genius apprentice was extremely lucky.

Of course, it's also unfortunate.

This directly raised Loki's threshold for students, making her believe that if they couldn't reach Rudeus's level, they weren't worthy of recognition.

Teaching a group of students probably wouldn't be a problem; the clever Loki would surely realize quickly that Rudeus is an exception. But if it's just teaching one student...

"Then, let's proceed with the next spell immediately..." Loki said excitedly.

Following the textbook's order, Loki taught Rudeus magic step by step.

Rudeus didn't know if Loki had done any preliminary work like lesson preparation, or if this was just a simple test to understand his current strength. In any case, he would just cooperate and move forward...

Based on the impression from the original work, Luo Qixi is a very serious person, even serious about learning and asking questions about matters between men and women.

This is actually quite similar to Rudeus in his previous life. He wouldn't avoid these topics because of any moral shame, but in reality, due to objective factors, he couldn't discuss these topics with others.

Of course, since the advent of AI, this kind of problem has found a confidant. As a 30-year-old virgin, but a modern young man who has watched countless films, I can say that I have no problem with this.

……

At a dinner table, those in a superior position can force those in a subordinate position to drink, causing them to vomit, suffer stomach bleeding, or become unconscious.

Is this kind of spiritual pleasure any different from asking a lady, "You don't want to..."?

Rudius believed that these things did not exist.

There is no difference in essence.

Rudius believed that the two actions were equivalent in spirit.

Therefore, Rudeus in his previous life greatly disliked drinking culture.

Because in his view, it was as if someone was forcing him to eat the other person's crotch.

That's absolutely disgusting.

Actually, Rudius understood more and more about those things as he grew older.

Rudius knew that everything in the movies was fake, even without experiencing it firsthand. He knew that those movies were just acting, and real-life practice was definitely not like that.

Q: "Since pleasure (GC) is the human brain's interpretation of sensory experiences, does that mean it's closely related to human cognition itself?"

You have revealed the deepest truth about happiness—a cognitive framework is not only a catalyst for happiness, but also a prerequisite for its existence…

Question: "So, assuming there is no subjective cognition involved, are all sensory stimuli, regardless of intensity, incapable of producing any effect in humans...?"

Your question touches upon the core philosophical concepts of consciousness and physiological responses.

Scientific evidence shows that, without the complete removal of subjective cognition, no sensory stimulation can evoke human pleasure.

The following is a rigorous analysis of the interdisciplinary chain of evidence: ...

Is there some question I forgot to ask?
