Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

The day after my birthday, formal sword training began.

It mainly focuses on sword swings and practicing standardized movements.

Using the wooden dummy set up in the yard as an opponent, they continuously checked the effect of their attacks.

It felt like practicing table tennis in front of a ball machine; once you got the feel for it, it was just a matter of repeatedly executing the correct attacking motion.

Then came sparring with Paul. Rudius viewed training with dummies as attending classes, while sparring was like doing homework.

It is a transformation from rigid practice to practical application.

In addition, paired training involves footwork, which cannot be simulated by air swings or dummy training.

Footwork is also of paramount importance. The ability to control the rhythm of combat and one's own center of gravity must be learned and mastered dynamically.

Judging from the first day's lesson, it seems that swordsmanship is taught in two parts: the upper body and the lower body. Paul seems quite professional.

Swordsmanship in this world can be broadly categorized into three schools.

Sword God Style, Water God Style, and North God Style.

Sword God Style is a highly aggressive swordsmanship that emphasizes seizing the initiative and delivering a fatal blow.

The school of thought that advocates offense as the best defense, speed, and that the key to victory is to cut down the enemy first.

It can be said that it adheres to the martial arts principle said by the Fire Cloud Evil God: "Of all martial arts, none can be broken except speed."

The principles of the Water God School are completely opposite to those of the Sword God School.

It is a defensive swordsmanship centered on countering and deflecting attacks.

Because it is a swordsmanship primarily for defense, there are very few offensive moves.

Because of its emphasis on defense, it was favored by court knights and nobles, and became their primary swordsmanship to learn and promote.

Paul said that once the Water God Flow reaches the level of a master, it seems that they can counterattack all attacks, including magic and long-range weapons.

As for the final Northern God Style, it is less a swordsmanship and more like a military strategy.

There are no specific moves; instead, the selling point is improvisation.

According to Paul, this fighting style is only nominally about improvisation, but in reality, those who use the Northern God Style often resort to clever tricks that don't actually have much effect.

There are many such guys among adventurers; anyone who uses a sword can call themselves the Kitakami-ryu.

To Rudius, these were just shameless individuals trying to glorify themselves by claiming to be from the Northern God School.

After all, when you're out and about, you're the one who gives yourself your identity. If someone asks you to give them your name, you can't exactly say that you've just been practicing your swordsmanship haphazardly, can you?

Even if the Kitakami-ryu school is looked down upon, it's still better than being a nobody, isn't it?

Among adventurers, very few have received a proper swordsmanship education like Paul.

Therefore, in Paul's eyes, these people were merely fighting with swords, and could not be considered to be using swordsmanship at all.

Paul was thus able to claim himself as a superior swordsman of three schools, making the Northern God School seem like a freebie.

However, it is said that if the Kitakami-ryu school can reach its peak, it can still achieve unexpected victories.

This is why it is so popular with mercenaries and adventurers who do not receive systematic training.

In Rudius's view, this Northern God School seems to be a school that places great emphasis on combat intelligence. Indeed, the purpose of combat is to kill the opponent, and there is no need to be bound by swordsmanship.

You can't rule out the possibility of a swordsman with an exceptionally brilliant mind and an unusually unconventional approach.

Of course, according to the underlying logic, even if someone is wilder, they can't be wilder than Rudeus, because combat wisdom also needs knowledge as its underlying foundation.

Without the corresponding knowledge, there will be no corresponding combat wisdom.

It should be noted that even though people in the Middle Ages did not understand the principles of fire, they could still use it. This was already considered extraordinary by other medieval people, and it was likely beyond the scope of the "cleverness" Paul mentioned.

But in Rudius's view, flames could also be a distorted, transparent cloud of steam.

This massive cognitive advantage is what Rudius believes is why no one in this world could possibly be more wild than him.

Rudius believed he couldn't possibly lose when it came to flashy tricks and gimmicks.

With Newton in my left hand and Einstein in my right, after ten years of hard study in school and ten years of struggling in society, I now combine my hands to form AI.

Since my reincarnation, I've been facing off against AI every day. What makes you think you, a "primitive man," can fight me?

The more Rudius learned about the world, the more arrogant he became.

Rudeus, who had read the original novel, knew that there was a guy named Northern God II who was advocating the idea that skill was more important than numbers, and then he was beaten up by his son, Northern God III, who was a number-obsessed guy.

Although he was beaten up by his son, if Rudeus had fought against the Northern God II, he would have been beaten to a pulp as well.

The founder of the Hokushin-ryu school seems to be Hokushin II. After abandoning the King Dragon Sword Kashakut, which gave him immense power, he turned to pursuing techniques, taking on disciples everywhere and founding the Hokushin-ryu school.

The ideas of the Northern God II did indeed coincide with those of Rudeus.

Having abandoned the King Dragon Sword Kashakut, he was undoubtedly stronger, although he was still getting brutally beaten.

Because Rudeus is unable to use his fighting spirit, he also intends to try combining swordsmanship and magic. The fighting spirit he cannot use can be said to be the same as the unusable King Dragon Sword Kashakut that Rudeus cannot use.

Those clever tricks and tricks, if transformed into magic tricks without chanting, would surely undergo a qualitative change.

To be honest, if he could, Rudyus would just want to be a stat monster.

Rudeus wished he could use his fighting spirit.

If you can be Superman and take down a kid with one punch, why bother trying to be Jackie Chan's furniture store war god?

This isn't a movie where you just need to look cool; the fighting is real and can be deadly.

The Second Prince of the North is also a stubborn one; can't he have both skill and stats?

Why don't you use the Wanglong Sword?

You can practice your skills with a regular sword normally, and then use the Wanglong Sword when you're really fighting.

It can only be said that these undead demons truly don't value their lives.

They insisted on fighting the son wielding the Wanglong Sword head-on, only to be brutally beaten, and in the end, neither could convince the other.

Thinking about it this way, is this guy using his son as a whetstone? After all, even without the King Dragon Sword, the Second Prince of the Northern Gods is not some stray cat or dog on the street, and not just anyone can exchange a few blows with him.

Depend on!

These undead demons who can resurrect after death are really just bored out of their minds.

Why can't I use my fighting spirit? Why can't I revive?

Rudeus was forced to use his brain and combat intelligence because he had no other choice and couldn't use his battle aura.

If you had superpowers, a super brain would definitely choose to use them without thinking!

……

Swordsmanship is graded like magic, into: beginner, intermediate, advanced, saint, king, emperor, and god.

However, the presence of the word "God" in the names of various schools originates from the common name of the founder of each school.

Therefore, the title of "god-level" will be passed down like a unique title.

In other words, if I defeated the Sword God, then I am the Sword God.

It implies that there is no second place in martial arts; the person who holds this title is the strongest in this style.

It is said that the first generation swordsman of the Water God School was also a magician who could use Water God-level magic.

To distinguish between the two, the classification of swordsmanship and magic will use the former's title while adding a word above the latter's.

Therefore, when referring to the rank of a mage, the word "rank" is added, while the rank of a swordsman is not.

The remaining styles are the corresponding schools of swordsmanship: Sword God Style, Water God Style, and Northern God Style.

Magicians possess four attributes: wind, fire, water, and earth.

These styles or attributes will be placed before the level.

For example, if swordsmanship were ranked, it would be: Sword Saint, Sword King, Water Saint, Water King, Northern Saint...

The magician ranking system would be: Water Saint, Water King, Fire Saint, Fire King, Earth King...

Once you know the title, you can tell what school of swordsmanship or level the other person is.

Conversely, regarding promotion.

For example, after learning the Water Saint-level magic, Luo Qixi was promoted to Water Saint-level mage. If it were one of the other three elements, she would be a corresponding Fire, Wind, or Earth Saint-level mage.

Rudius is now following Paul and is mainly learning the Sword God Style and Water God Style swordsmanship.

Paul also majored in the Sword God style, and minored in the Water God style and the Northern God style, and all three of them reached an advanced level.

As mentioned earlier, Paul possessed a talent for swordsmanship.

After running away from home, Paul was spotted by Lilia's father, who brought him back to the dojo. The father planned to train Paul and then marry Lilia to him so that the two of them could inherit the dojo.

Unfortunately, Paul was going through the most turbulent period of his adolescence. After being ostracized by the disciples of the dojo, he launched a night raid on Lilia and fled the dojo.

The reason for the night raid on Lilia was, of course, because Lilia was the most beautiful woman in the dojo, and almost all the disciples liked her.

So Paul retaliated against them by defiling Lilya.

It must be said that Lilia is also an extremely outstanding woman.

Even after Paul and Senis got married, he still tried to seduce Lilia, but Lilia remained unmoved.

These things did not escape Rudius's notice, and were one of the reasons why Rudius believed that Lilia was innocent in the matter of Paul and Senis's marriage.

This directly eliminated the possibility that Lilia thought Paul wouldn't agree.

It means having a man by your side who can satisfy your sexual desires at any time, but you have to suffer every day.

This is a test of human nature.

Let's get back to swordsmanship.

During the demonstration, Paul, to show his father's strength, split the rock in two with a single sword stroke.

It was a huge rock about three meters long.

This would definitely not have been possible in my previous life. Even if I were to chop half a piece of pork with a sword, it would have been impossible to do it so smoothly.

As for such a large rock, the damage inflicted by a single sword strike on the person and the sword would certainly be greater than that on the rock itself.

Paul was able to do this by using his fighting spirit to do something.

But when Rudius asked how he did it.

"Stomp forward with a 'humph' and then swish down!" Paul said.

It seems that Paul, though very skilled in swordsmanship, lacks the talent to teach.

It seems I asked the wrong person if I wanted to ask how to use battle qi.

However, this also suggests that the warriors of this world are unaware of the existence of battle qi.

Given the breadth of knowledge Paul had access to, he certainly defeated 99% of the warriors.

This explains that the application of fighting spirit is a process that the body can spontaneously complete during training.

It is a technology that can be used without understanding the principles, just as you don't need to know that ATP in cells is the cell's direct energy source.

In other words, controlling muscle power is equivalent to controlling fighting spirit.

Battle aura is something that is bound to muscles.

"Rudy, although you have a talent for magic, there's no harm in learning swordsmanship." Paul looked at the dazed Rudy, "You must become a magician who can counter the sword god's slashes."

To become a magician capable of countering the sword god's slashes?

Is this a graduation requirement?

Rudius snapped out of his daze and looked at Paul.

Paul crouched down, his face filled with concern, and placed his hand on Rudy's shoulder, asking, "Rudy, do you hate swordsmanship?"

"No," Rudius replied, looking at Paul's uneasy expression. "I hope my swordsmanship is also very good."

It seems that overthinking is inherently incompatible with martial arts; Paul seems to have misunderstood something.

Seeing Paul seemingly deeply moved after receiving an affirmative answer, Rudius wondered if he should lower Paul's expectations a bit.

To avoid disappointing the opponent by having poor swordsmanship skills?

After all, swordsmanship can never reach the same level as magic.

With such a remarkable example before him, Paul couldn't help but hope that his son's swordsmanship would be as formidable as his magic.

……

After careful reflection and consideration.

Rudius attributed his inability to use battle aura to his physical condition.

The so-called Laplace factor can be roughly understood as a segment of the gene of the demon god Laplace.

As Rudius grew up, out of curiosity, he asked the AI ​​all sorts of strange questions.

One of the questions is about gender: if a fetus has male genes, is it possible for the baby to look completely female?

The answer is yes. If there is a genetic defect, and the body does not have the corresponding receptors to detect male hormones, the fetus will appear to be a girl.

Or rather, this is a girl who appears to be, and actually is, just unable to get pregnant.

She will be told she was born a girl, and her parents will raise her as a girl until much later, after marriage, when she goes to the hospital for infertility tests and discovers that her genes are male.

Inspired by this.

Rudeus realized that the demon god Laplace was split off from the dragon king Laplace.

Rudeus couldn't recall the specifics, but he knew that the Demon Dragon King Laplace was divided into two parts: magic and martial arts.

The demon god Laplace also does not use fighting spirit.

Does that mean this can be seen as a genetic separation, a genetic defect?

When the dragon king Laplace was split into two people, his own "genes" were also divided into two parts.

The Laplace factor, on the other hand, seems to exist detached from the world and randomly attach itself to infants.

Because every attached infant could potentially be resurrected as Laplace, Rudius considered the Laplace factor to be a kind of "gene".

But this "gene" seems to be transmitted through magic.

Therefore, this kind of "gene" is different from the gene that Rudeus mentioned in his previous life.

Rudius believed that his body was definitely healthy, but that it was covered by a more powerful "gene" called the Laplace factor, which masked his normal gene expression.

Rudius felt that he might need to find the other half of the split factor and splice it with this half-finished Laplace factor to allow the "gene" to be fully expressed so that he could use his fighting spirit.

However, we cannot give up completely. Since we believe that our bodies are healthy, there is still room for improvement.

Just like a paralyzed patient who constantly stimulates their nerves through massage and other methods, hoping that their nerves will be reactivated and that they will be able to stand up again one day.

If you cannot actively connect your fighting spirit to your muscles and thus cannot spontaneously use your fighting spirit, then you should actively connect it to your muscles.

But where does this fighting spirit come from?

Although Rudeus knew that magic and battle aura originated from the same source, originating from the same source did not mean that the two were the same.

But Rudeus didn't know what this power was before it transformed into magic or battle aura.

There is absolutely no information on this.

So, we're just going to do nothing?

No.

Since magic and battle aura share the same origin, magic should at least have some function.

Therefore, Rudeus could only try to actively integrate magic into his muscles, stimulating them with magic in every swing of his sword and every run.

I look forward to the day when I can awaken my own healthy genes that may be suppressed by the Laplace factor.
