Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

One winter morning, Loki led Rudeus to the courtyard.

Today we'll be discussing hybrid magic.

This magic can only be cast under special circumstances.

For example, in the cold winter, if you cast a water magic spell to make it rain, snowflakes will fall from the sky.

Just as Rudeus had expected, mages at this time were unable to truly cast mixed magic.

Their hybrid magic simply interacts with the combat environment to produce different physical phenomena.

If fighting in a swamp, you can launch fireballs into puddles to create steam and cover your retreat.

By utilizing the surrounding environmental factors, the incantation of water magic was saved.

The wisdom of a mage in battle is more akin to the combat wisdom of a thief who utilizes various tools and traps.

For soldiers who can't read a single word, this kind of wisdom is what they fear most; they can only rely on experience to deal with various situations.

However, this was only Rudeus's own thinking, always mentally battling the warrior as an imaginary enemy. Lokishi did not entrust Rudeus with such a dangerous task...

This is the mixed magic taught by Loki, but in reality, only one type of magic is used.

Rudeus's unincanted hybrid magic is a true hybrid, a magic that uses two or more spells simultaneously.

Rudeus felt that the mixed magic class taught by Loki should be renamed Natural Science Class, which would be more appropriate.

A more hardcore approach would be to call them science courses like physics, chemistry, and biology. However, due to the medieval context, the understanding of various issues was quite superficial. Therefore, various science courses were "lumped together," as the field had not yet developed to the point where such detailed distinctions were necessary.

Rudeus is quite certain that if we were to divide subjects, magic would obviously be a science or engineering discipline.

However, the level of science and engineering development here is clearly still within the realm of pragmatism; it is not about understanding principles, but merely about utilizing phenomena.

Take Loki's teaching as an example.

What happens if you activate the Waterfall, Geothermal, and Ice Zones in that order?

"It will produce fog."

"That's right. So, how do we make the fog dissipate?"

"Use geothermal magic again to heat the ground."

"Very good, let's give it a try."

From a modern perspective, this is a process that is easy to see through at a glance.

Waterfalls generate water, geothermal energy heats the water to form steam, and the freezing zone causes the water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets, thus forming what is known as fog.

This physical process involves two phase transitions of water, which is very clear and straightforward.

Regarding how to dissipate fog, anyone who has ever ridden in a car knows what to do when car windows fog up in winter.

Driver: Just use the heater to blow air onto the windows.

To be honest, even experienced modern drivers who know how to fix fogged-up windows may not be so clear about the underlying scientific principles.

It's still stuck in pragmatism.

Loki's teaching was much like that of an experienced driver, passing on the experience that predecessors had discovered to Rudeus.

If you ask an experienced driver why...

He might not be able to tell you that the fog on the glass is caused by the condensation of water vapor in the air and the glass due to their temperature interaction.

Why do I say that?

Because Rudius had indeed asked this question in his previous life, and most people couldn't answer it, and those who could answer it all had problems with their expression.

It's fair to say that none of the people Rudius asked gave a definitive answer.

Loki's research at the Magic University also covered many of these issues.

No wonder Rudeus likes Loki so much.

Luo Qixi studied science.

This kind of scientific thinking is something he really likes; it's a plus that aligns with his preferences.

Although many of the problems seemed obvious to Rudius, they were nonetheless obvious.

However, the questions that need to be raised still need to be asked. This kind of communication is also a way of informing Luo Qixi of her own information.

"Why not cast both spells at the same time?" Rudeus asked.

"Because a person only has one mouth, it's impossible to cast two spells at the same time. However, it's possible for two people to cast spells simultaneously and coordinate their efforts, but this is only theoretically possible. I've never seen anyone succeed," said Luo Qixi.

Rudeus: What kind of martial soul fusion technique?

"...Speaking of which, Rudy, is it possible to activate two spells simultaneously in the no-chantment mode?" Loki crouched down and whispered to Rudy.

Rudeus looked at Loki, who seemed to be cautiously asking about some secret, and could clearly feel her breath so close to his face.

"Sure," Rudeus replied with an unconsciously bright smile.

"...I see."

Luo Qixi seemed somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, a few snowflakes began to fall from the sky, indicating that the magic had indeed been transformed.

The day's classes came to an end, and the two returned home.

……

Rudius felt he had overlooked something.

He kept thinking that since he could already use spells without chanting, he could abandon chanting and focused solely on figuring out how to cast more complex mixed spells with his hands and feet.

So much so that he completely forgot how to chant spells.

But in fact, given that magic is automatically activated whenever it is chanted, does that mean you can't chant when you don't need to chant?

Chanting magic can be considered a great contribution made by the sages of the jobless world to humanity. Chanting magic is a kind of automated spellcasting ability that does not require any thought.

One cannot abandon chanting magic just because one has acquired non-chanting magic.

If we consider the limbs as four ports for releasing magic, then what about the mouth?

If you don't chant the spell yourself, isn't that just a waste of a spellcasting slot?

Sometimes, thinking about something from the beginning, like a child asking silly questions, can help you re-examine your thought process.

Once it becomes a habit, chanting itself doesn't require any mental effort.

If you add incantation with both hands, it's obvious that you can complete a triple spell in a short time.

Alternatively, use advanced spells that require chanting, then use spells that don't require chanting to buy time.

This is practically like giving away a powerful ultimate skill that doesn't take up a spell slot during a match.

The incantation begins as soon as the battle starts. I'm waiting for the incantation to finish, so what are you waiting for?

……

Evening class time.

Rudius asked, "Should I address my teacher as 'Master'?"

Luo Qixi showed a clear expression of disgust. "No need. I think you could easily beat me. It's best not to call me that. You probably wouldn't want to call someone weaker than yourself 'master,' would you?"

"Nope."

"But I don't want to. It would be utterly shameful to be called a master by someone more talented than myself."

"But why is that?"

Luo Qixi had a gloomy expression. "Maybe she's jealous of her disciple's talent. I wonder what kind of bad things she'll say later."

"Then, teacher, will you be jealous of me and say bad things about me?"

"Maybe I can too."

"You can't do that. I'll be sad if Ms. Luo Qixi says bad things about me."

Rudeus looked at Loki with an expression that suggested he was about to cry.

Lokishi snapped out of her bad memories and rushed forward to hug Rudeus.

"Okay, Rudy, I understand. I won't say anything bad about Rudy, I don't think so..."

After offering some words of comfort...

Rudius asked, "Did your teacher's master say anything particularly offensive?"

"I already said that," Luo Qixi sighed.

"What did you say?"

"They're just filthy, lowly demons, or maybe they're just a country bumpkin..."

"Was Ms. Luo Qixi's mentor a bad person?"

"No……"

"So, have you forgiven him?"

"not yet……"

Rudius felt a pang of sadness; he had made the same mistake before, and he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't repeat it...

If Rudyus were to be spoken to in a truly offensive manner, he didn't know how he would react or whether he would forgive the other person.

But for now, let's lie about the child's identity.

"Teacher Luo Qixi."

"What's wrong, Rudy?"

"Even if you say something very, very bad to me, I will forgive you."

Despite having decided to lie, Rudeus was once again overwhelmed by the grief and pain of losing his loved ones.

Since his rebirth, Rudeus has never suppressed his urge to cry; on the contrary, he has become even more indulgent, never hesitating at all once he feels the urge to cry.

and so……

"But Ms. Loki can't say really bad things to me, waaaaaaah~," Rudeus cried out.

"Wow, Rudy, don't cry, Rudy, your teacher promises not to say anything, okay, Rudy..." Loki didn't understand why Rudy, who was usually well-behaved and sensible, suddenly started crying, and she panicked.

Senis, Lilia, and Paul, who heard the commotion, also rushed over.

After offering some comfort and asking questions, Senis gently stroked Rudeus's head and said to Loki, "This child has been like this since he was little, you don't need to worry about it too much."

"No, it's my fault. I made Rudy sad," Loki apologized dejectedly.

Given that Luo Qixi was also a child who "ran away from home" after having a conflict with her teacher.

After Loki explained to the three of them the reason why Rudeus was crying.

Loki, Senis, and Paul, the three runaways, fell into an unusual silence.

We're truly in the same boat...

Lilith, who was standing by, looked at the three of them speechlessly. "If it's a misunderstanding, it's best to clear it up as soon as possible."

Senis snapped out of her daze. "That's right. Loki's master was just saying that out of anger. They'll definitely reconcile in the future."

"Is that so?" Luo Qixi asked worriedly.

"Absolutely, we'll reconcile next time we meet," Senis added.

Paul sat to the side with a complicated expression. Years ago, he had run away from home after a conflict with his father because of his mother's death. Not long after, he heard that his father had also passed away out of guilt.

Paul regretted it for the rest of his life and became extremely attached to family ties.

In the original work, she once said to the original male protagonist, "Even if it means death, I will save Senis."

Rudeus listened to their conversation and felt that he had inadvertently helped Lokishi resolve her relationship with her master.

Moreover, Senis and Paul seemed to be reflecting on their own relationships with their parents.

It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Rudius sat in Senis's lap, burying his blushing face in her arms, and Senis took it as him just being affectionate as usual.

Senis and Paul are so busy having a baby that they haven't slept with Rudius in a long time.

As for bedtime stories, we only have two books at home, and we've already finished telling them all.

This is also related to the fact that Rudeus can sleep with either Loki or Lilia.

If you can sleep with Lilia or Loki, it will have a substitute effect.

Once a substitute is available, Senis and Paul will constantly use this as an excuse to get Rudius away so they can do what adults do...

However, after being held in Senis's arms today, Rudyus planned to drown in Senis's embrace until he fell asleep.
