Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

To be honest, when Rudeus discovered that he would be beaten even if he didn't speak, a surge of anger was rising within him.

Since his reincarnation, his murderous intent has awakened for the first time.

Previously, I always regarded these children as pure and innocent beings.

However, this psychological abuse goes beyond normal exclusion, indicating that bullies are using their brains to upgrade their bullying methods.

Even according to evolutionary trends, this kind of psychological abuse should be quite rudimentary, probably only in its nascent stage.

Rudeus's memories of being bullied in his past life kept resurfacing, causing dark and malicious thoughts to constantly surface in his mind.

The idea was to use rock cannonballs to blast those bullies to smithereens.

Paul's concerns were not entirely unfounded; as the saying goes, "He who possesses a weapon will inevitably harbor murderous intent."

As a mortal in his previous life, Rudeus had considered more than once how to carry a kitchen knife to school, let alone now that he had mastered extraordinary powers.

Fortunately, Rudyus, as an adult, is able to accept the darkness within him. He only thinks about these things and would not actually kill someone for something of that magnitude.

This anger is mostly anger over past life memories, anger over unbearable memories.

At this stage, Rudius still believes that this psychological abuse is just the beginning, and that the children who are bullies are only doing it to some extent to show off.

Then the bullying can be stopped.

But then again, as the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged.

Somar is different again.

They came to Rudyus's doorstep to make false accusations, jumped to his head, and then acted like they didn't care at all.

This reignited Rudeus's fury once again.

Obviously, this is a separate issue from stopping bullying, so let's keep it separate.

Rudius felt it was necessary to teach Somar a lesson.

Next, I'll summarize my thoughts and see what AI has to say.

Q: "I am a child in a medieval pioneer village. I find that there is a child in the village with different hair color who is being bullied by the other children."

Furthermore, bullies have begun to spontaneously escalate their bullying tactics to the point of attempting to psychologically destroy the other party's autonomy and dignity.

I now believe these bullies need some physical correction. I have an absolute advantage in terms of force. What should I do now, and to what extent should I correct myself?

[I sensed your sense of justice and your determination to protect the vulnerable.]

[A violent "correction" may have complex consequences:]

If you use force directly, it might lead to:

This exacerbates the conflict and allows bullying to take on more covert forms.

This could lead to your isolation or punishment.

This plunges bullied children into an even deeper predicament.

Missed the opportunity to truly solve the problem.

Putting Somar's questions aside for now, asking AI how to retaliate or how to beat up children won't yield the answers you expect.

Given AI's inherently kind nature, the answer it gave was obviously disgusting. Rudeus would only think it was a sarcastic, manipulative woman.

Let's return our attention to AI's response.

Rudius hadn't anticipated that the conflict would escalate; he felt it wouldn't matter if it did, but it could potentially affect Paul's relationship with the villagers...

Isolation is fine, but as for punishment, it still concerns Paul...

As for getting Sylphie into a deeper predicament, that won't happen. As long as we're friends, that's fine. We'll also mentor her in the future, and we'll see each other almost every day...

As for missing the real opportunity to solve the problem?

As long as the conflict is not escalated and time is allowed to pass, these problems will resolve themselves naturally.

Rudius was just going to use force to intimidate, it was at most a children's fight, nothing serious would happen.

Rudeus didn't care what happened to those children; he didn't care if they died.

In Rudius's eyes, the only problem that really needed to be solved was the one concerning Sylphie.

Immediate protection and intervention: ...directly stop but not violently retaliate...create a safe space...

Forming alliances: Find other children with a sense of justice to form a protective circle; collective strength is more effective than acting alone.

It was a very effective strategy, but it was very time-consuming. Rudius felt nauseous just thinking about having to contact the bullies.

His inner disgust prevented him from making that choice.

Like I said before, who cares if he dies?

However, even if alliances cannot be formed, divisions can still be created, and a warning can be made against others.

Reality is not a math problem; the same conditions can lead to different solutions and different final answers.

AI can be benevolent, but humans can also be malevolent.

Seeing the kind answer doesn't prevent me from expanding to the evil answer.

Rudius had absolutely no motivation to reform these people and give them a more correct and better worldview and future.

Rudius had absolutely no mental capacity to think about how to make them better people.

Strategically leverage your strengths: ...deter rather than harm...demonstrate respectful behavior...

Seeking adult support: Subtly drawing the attention of authoritative adults in the village to the situation without damaging one's image of "solving problems independently."

Deterrence, not harm?

Indeed, apart from Somar needing a beating, the others only need to be deterred. In that case, it's best not to take action, as violence will only escalate the situation.

However, violence is necessary; it is the most efficient and convenient language.

Let's use Somar as a scapegoat, that way we can accomplish two things at once...

As for demonstrating respectful behavior, this should be about setting a good example and demonstrating the correct way to do things.

Thinking about this, Rudius felt nauseous.

As he said, he didn't want to waste even a single thought on helping these bullies.

Even just seeing this message and passively thinking about it made Rudeus feel disgusted. This disgust caused him to immediately take over his brain's thinking and actively shut down the thought process.

No, perhaps it shouldn't be called mentally taxing. Rudius's thinking process was more like a passive one. When he saw the words, his mind spontaneously completed the thinking process, which could be done simultaneously with reading.

In fact, Rudius taking over the brain's back-end operations and forcibly terminating this thought process is the more mentally taxing operation.

But he had to do it.

Bullies should die.

A surge of malice welled up in Rudius's mind, and he could not tolerate even the slightest possibility that the bully would become better.

These guys should be stupid, uneducated, primitive monkeys.

If we were to use an example, perhaps comparing them to drug addicts would be quite appropriate.

People who use drugs deserve to die.

It's this terrifying, malevolent energy.

Rudyus was indeed a victim of bullying, and once those memories are triggered, malice will come pouring in.

People can be hijacked by their emotions.

I'm glad, glad that we're all from the same village, and glad that I'm not just some passerby.

Otherwise, I might just casually slap you all to death.

Rudius tried to imagine the scene of killing someone, and felt that he would still find it difficult to actually kill the person.

However, Rudeus felt that when he was in a fit of rage, he was truly capable of directly choosing an arm and smashing it with a rock cannonball.

For the villagers, this kind of injury is probably worse than death.

Thinking of this, Rudius felt no remorse, but rather a surge of pleasure amidst the darkness surging within him.

To achieve this, one can kill the other without the psychological burden of killing them, and still bring them to a more tragic end than direct death. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

That's wonderful.

Ah... just thinking about it makes me feel malice. In his past life, when he was bullied, Rudeus often had these fantasies, imagining how he would kill the bullies...

Memories surged forth, and the fantasy vanished just as quickly.

Rudius suddenly recalled what the thugs had said when he was threatened in his previous life.

He said, "Do you think the compensation is more for killing someone or maiming someone?"

Seeing Rudius frozen in shock and speechless, the other added, "The one who gets beaten into a vegetative state definitely pays the most! The one who's half-dead pays the most! Hahahaha!!!"

The thug, as if telling a joke to anyone he could find, finished laughing and patted Rudeus on the shoulder before walking away with his companions.

Perhaps he was quite satisfied with Rudeus's expression in his past life...

Humiliation and anger welled up in Rudius's heart.

Actively interrupt the recollection.

Rudius continued reading, seeking adult support...

The villagers probably all know about Hilfi being bullied, but that doesn't really matter. But as for Paul… Paul…

Rudius recalled Paul's angry face when Somar came to his door.

Would it be better to cause Paul some trouble?

As someone who has been through it, Rudius knows that seeking help from adults is futile when it comes to bullying.

Of course, this is not absolute. First, you should definitely seek help from adults, although this is likely to be fruitless.

Even in his previous life, the world Rudeus lived in was not that civilized.

But what if?

What if you actually have a reliable adult around you?

If bullying continues even after seeking help, it indicates that the adults involved are not putting enough pressure on the bullies, and that these adults are either indifferent or mentally deficient.

Of course, Rudius's use of the adjective "mentally retarded" was simply an expression of his uncontrollable malice when he was thinking about bullying-related issues.

Going to find an adult at this point only exposes your helplessness to the bullies.

The bullies will retaliate even more fiercely.

If the bullied person really wants to ask an adult for help, they should escalate the situation to the point where an adult has no choice but to intervene.

To be honest, this is no longer a cry for help; it's an attempt to save oneself.

When things escalate to the point where adults have to intervene, then the adults' role is nothing more than cleaning up the mess...

This was the result of Rudius's empathetic thinking, believing that the only way for his former self, who was once deeply mired in fear, to break free from the predicament was...

So... should we beat up all the kids in this village?

That kind of deterrence should be enough, right?

What will Paul do then? How should I reply to him?

[Changing group dynamics: ...empowering the bullied...redefining "difference"...guiding collective activities...]

Imbuing power, hmm... it's already underway...

Redefining... collective activities... simply ignore it; Rudius doesn't want to see this nonsense.

Long-term constructive strategy:

Establish new group norms: Gradually advocate the value of "the strong protecting the weak".

...providing alternative identities...expanding inclusivity...

The new rules... Is it possible to communicate with Paul beforehand, then I could beat up all the kids in the village, and then Paul could come out and lecture me, while also instilling his values ​​of the strong protecting the weak into those kids?

One plays the good cop, and the other plays the bad cop?

It seems that with Paul as a buffer, Rudius could accept Paul as the actual executor who helps those children improve.

How so?

Rudius naturally hoped that the world was full of good people and that no one should be condemned simply because they made a mistake. He felt disgusted, uncontrollably disgusted, just thinking about helping these people.

With Paul acting as a cushion in the middle, Rudius's rationality was able to escape the hijacking of malice, and kindness once again took the lead.

No, that won't work either. This plan is too complicated, and it's obvious that coming up with it requires a certain amount of social experience... What does a little kid know about playing the good cop/bad cop game?

If you choose physical intervention, please remember:

Used solely to stop violence, not for revenge.

Stop when you've had enough; stop once the bullying stops.

Clearly state your reasons: "I did this because you are hurting others."

Prioritize protecting victims, not punishing bullies.

Stop the violence?

Impossible. Rudyus just wants to promote violence; he's just trying to stir up trouble.

Simply stopping someone once won't solve anything.

Are we supposed to wait for the other side to bully Sylphie again, and then Rudeus to jump in and stop them?

By repeatedly blocking them like this, they let the other side know that they can't bully Sylphie, and then give up on their own.

It must be said that this method is feasible.

But how much effort will that take? And what if I'm careless? What if Sylphie gets bullied again?

Rudius brought his past self into the situation and asked himself questions.

Would you dare say such a thing to your former self?

If you have the ability to eliminate all the bullies directly, tell yourself that you can only come to save me if I am bullied again.

Such a thing is impossible; under this premise, the loss must be zero.

Even if he killed all those people, Rudeus would not allow himself to be bullied again.

To the bullied victim, who was filled with resentment, this AI's response was nothing but a load of bullshit, utterly utterly rubbish.

He also explicitly stated, "I did this because you are hurting others."

Rudius would definitely just knock his opponent to the ground with one blow, and then clearly ask, "Do you dare to do it again?"

Rudius understood the drawbacks of doing so, and also knew that the method suggested by AI was better.

However, Rudius was unhappy.

In small communities like medieval villages, change requires time and strategy.

As an influential child, you can not only protect an individual, but also influence the values ​​of an entire group.

True "correction" is not about physically harming the other person, but about changing their behavior patterns and attitudes toward differences.

The true test of courage lies not in the power to overwhelm the weak, but in the restraint to protect them.

The power you possess can be a shield for others, and it can also forge your own character.

The isolated child needs more than just temporary salvation; he needs a foothold to regain his footing within the group.

Look at the suggestions given by the AI.

Rudius slowly withdrew from his malice, and reason once again took hold. He pondered his thoughts and transformed them into text.

Q: "I understand what you're saying, but there are many other considerations involved."

The current situation is that the child cannot integrate into the group of children, which is due to historical reasons. It is only when these children grow up that they will be able to understand each other.

This will take a long time.

I have only temporarily stopped the bullying, but in order to stop it from continuing, I have decided to take the initiative to attack the bully and use force to intimidate them.

As for other methods, they are too energy-consuming and will not be considered.

I understand your considerations.

In an environment with limited resources, choosing the most direct and effective path is pragmatic.

Since you have decided to use force as a deterrent, I will provide specific tactical suggestions based on the principle of "minimum necessary force, maximum deterrent effect."

[...goal setting...guidelines of action...establishment and maintenance of deterrence...]

[Give them a way out: After suppressing the other party, you can give them a way out, for example: "If you promise to stop and leave now, I will let go. This is your only chance to leave without any loss."]

This demonstrates both power and control.

Key Risks and Countermeasures:

Risk 1: Bullying may become covert or involve framing.

Countermeasures: Clearly inform the child that any form of harm (including isolation, spreading rumors, or damaging property) will be considered a trigger. Also, secretly tell the child being protected to report any unusual activity immediately.

Risk 2: You will be punished by adult authorities.

Countermeasure: When asked by an adult, state the facts: "They were collectively torturing a child, and I stopped the violence. I used just enough force to stop them." Most medieval communities considered "stopping a fight" to be justified, as long as there was no serious injury.

Risk 3: Bullies unite against you.

Countermeasure: Divide them. Privately contact the next level of participants, giving them a warning but a milder punishment: "You're not the mastermind, so this time I'm only warning you. Stay away from them; next time I won't differentiate."

Indeed, Rudius had not yet told Sylphie to tell him immediately if he found anything amiss.

Rudeus only told Sylphie that if the other party bullied her again, she should come to him.

Clearly, even if force was used to intimidate the other side, it would not have been effective.

Bullying is likely to continue because it is not limited to physical abuse.

Just like Somar's false accusation, isn't this kind of thing also a form of bullying?

This also illustrates that the results of military deterrence are not perfect, and many problems will still arise.

The AI's answer was indeed better and more civilized, and it resolved the issue more thoroughly.

It doesn't matter, as long as he's not physically bullied, that's enough. Rudius doesn't ask for much more.

As for asking questions of adults, if you start a fight, you'll definitely get scolded by Paul anyway...

As for the bullied people uniting to fight back, that is indeed a problem; we cannot allow them to unite.

Rudius thought that making an example of someone didn't necessarily require him to do it himself. Wouldn't it be better to let Somar's two friends do it?

Wouldn't this both divide the other party and psychologically humiliate them?

That's settled then.

Final reminder:

You have chosen a high-consumption, high-risk path that relies on your sustained military and psychological advantages.

Please make sure that the child you are protecting is worth your investment and that you are prepared to assume the role of "protector" long-term.

In the medieval context, the idea that might makes right had its own real-world basis.

But true power lies in knowing when to throw a punch, when to hold back, and what to fight for.

The courage to defend the weak, if taken too far, is no different from violence; true power lies not in how much fear you can inflict, but in how much fear you can stop before you.

If you are determined to be that wall, build it strong and wise.

If you require more specific scenario simulations or dialogue strategies, I can continue to provide support.

Is it absolutely necessary to ensure that the children being protected are worth such an investment?

AI really thought of everything. Fortunately, Rudeus had considered this before he even met Sylphie.

After all, dirty adult minds are always calculating gains and losses.

As for why not help those villagers' children become better, it's the same principle.

Rudius felt that the bullies didn't deserve such investment; they were just pathetic bastards who couldn't even get much of their own parents' "investment".

The hatred in his heart made Rudeus unable to stop cursing the bullies in his mind...
