Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"Although I can't sit in Ms. Luo Qixi's lap, it feels warm to hug her from behind. It's a special feeling, like a sense of security."

I rested my head on Ms. Luo Qixi's shoulder and hugged her tightly. I felt as if her thin, small, and slightly chubby body could be completely embedded in my body.

At the same time, the sweet scent of Teacher Luo Qixi filled my nostrils.

"Since Rudy likes it, then you can hug him a little longer."

The gentle voice reached my ears, like a gentle rain from heaven nourishing my parched heart.

"Hehe, thank you, Teacher Luo Qixi."

……

A gentle breeze swept across the ground, and the grass that had been peeking out for so long had grown lush and strong, leaving behind trails of the breeze. The stream babbled, its surface shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight, and every now and then, fish could be seen poking their heads out of the water.

The shadows of the two girls on horseback were reflected in the stream. One had a high ponytail of emerald green, and the other had beautiful long brown hair. It was thanks to the two of them sitting on the same horse that I had the opportunity to hug Teacher Luo Qixi.

I turned my head to look at the two of them, and I had a feeling that the two of them seemed to have a good relationship.

Seeing me hugging Teacher Loki like that, Lilith also hugged Hilfi. Although she was holding the reins, she was not affected at all. She rested her head on Hilfi's shoulder, just like I was with Teacher Loki.

"Your head is so heavy!"

Hilfi was being held in Lilith's arms, grumbling and in a state of agitation.

The only person who could elicit such a reaction from the usually gentle and easygoing Silphie is Lilith; it seems she finds amusement in teasing Silphie.

"I'm riding a horse now, you know, Hilfiet. Since you're sitting on my back, behave well and let me pamper you~"

As she spoke, Lilith stuck out her tongue and gently licked Silphie's ear.

"Ah~ No~"

Hilfi blushed, looking shy and unable to resist.

Lilith wasn't satisfied with just licking his ears; she then slipped her hand inside Silphie's clothes.

I quickly turned my head away, because if I kept looking, I might accidentally smear my nosebleed on Ms. Luo Qixi's clothes.

"Ah~ No~ Don't~"

"It's a little small, isn't it, Sylphie?"

"No~"

"You say you can't, but your actions tell a different story. You have a lot of potential, Silphiete~"

The wind was unusually noisy today, and even the chattering of the girls sounded pleasant to the ear.

"The two of them are very close."

Teacher Luo Qixi said with a smile.

"Maybe so."

I quietly hugged Teacher Luo Qixi, watching the scenery before me slowly change as time passed.

Rivers meander along the vast plains and forests, and the northern lands are lush and green in this season.

We finally arrived at a place that looked deserted, and tied our horses to a tree.

Hilfi blushed and shyly hid behind a tree, adjusting her clothes, while Lilith stroked the horse's mane. She felt a strange familiarity with the way Hilfi looked at the horse; it was the same look she gave me when we looked at each other…

Am I a horse?

Or do I seem to her like a pet?

No, there was a hint of doting in her eyes. Could it be that she likes me?

The scene of their physical intimacy in bed quickly resurfaced in his mind.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing Ms. Luo Qixi clear her throat with two light coughs, I shook my head abruptly and stopped my wild thoughts.

At this moment, Hilfi tidied her clothes and came out from behind the big tree, and Lilith had already obediently sat down next to me.

Teacher Luo Qixi glanced at the three of us and said slowly:

"This magic trick is called [Lightning]. I only have enough magic power to demonstrate it once, so please watch carefully, all three of you."

After saying that, she leaned on her staff and walked to an open area in front of her.

This reminds me of when I was five years old, when Ms. Loki took me to the countryside and performed a water-based magic trick. At that time, Paul's beloved horse "Caravaggio" was tied to a tree, and then a bolt of lightning struck and took away half of its life.

At this moment, standing under the tree were not only two horses borrowed from the Magic Association, but also Lilith, Sylphie, and me.

Hopefully, this time a bolt of lightning won't knock us out instantly...

"here we go."

Lilith said.

I saw Ms. Loki point her staff at another tree in the distance as a target. Then, she closed her eyes and gripped the staff tightly, as if she was making careful preparations. Perhaps this is the difference between Saint-level magic and King-level magic. I remember that Ms. Loki was more casual when she performed the Water Saint-level magic.

After a while, she thrust her staff into the ground, gripped the handle tightly with one hand, placed the other on the magic stone, adjusted her breathing, and began to chant the incantation, word by word:

"Magnificent water spirit, thunder prince who ascends to the sky!"

Grant my wish, bring forth fierce blessings, and let the dwarfs witness your power!

Striking the anvil with the hammer of God reveals your might, and let the flood engulf the entire land!

Rain! Wash everything away, banish all things!

This is the incantation for the Water Saint-level magic "Thunderous Rain Cloud". If I remember correctly, "Thunderous Rain Cloud" is a combination of two superior water magic spells. Could it be that this King-level magic "Lightning" is also like that?

As soon as Teacher Luo Qixi finished speaking, the sky turned completely dark. Heavy rain fell, and a strong wind blew through the dense clouds, with lightning flashing intermittently.

"Is this Saint-level magic? It's terrifying power, but it seems a bit different from what Lord Rudeus used back then."

Lilith gazed at the sky, her hair already soaked by the rain, strands clinging to her cheeks, her face bearing a calm expression.

Is it different from the one I use?

In the Duchy of Basheland, I did use it once, compressing magic and incorporating it into the Saint-level magic "Rainy Clouds." That was the scene when I first met Lilith. It was successful that time, but I also lost an arm.

The scene from that time flashed through my mind.

"Magnificent spirit of light, thunder emperor who rules the sky!"

Teacher Luo Qixi continued chanting.

"Can you see the one standing there?"

That is the enemy of the arrogant Thunder Emperor!

I will wield the sacred sword and become the one who strikes down my enemies in a single blow! With radiant power, I will display the majesty of the Thunder Emperor!

Lightning!

All the dark clouds and lightning in the sky gathered at one point, converging into a ball of light in the sky.

I actually...

He once used a King-level magic trick...

This scene is very familiar to me. Before leaving home, when I was teaching Sylphie water-level magic, I first incorporated magic compression into a level-one magic. And when I successfully used it in the Duchy of Basheland, the sky was filled with similar sights.

Finally, the ball of light fell, bringing with it a beam of light that shot straight to the ground from the compressed dark clouds.

Lilith and Silphie covered their ears tightly, and they both turned to look at me at the same time.

"Rudy...so he's...a King-level..."

Hilfi looked surprised, her expression almost blank, her eyes revealing a look I can't quite describe.

Lilith's surprised expression lasted only a moment before I watched her run out of my sight.

Following Lilith's direction, we saw Loki lying on the ground. Sylphie and I quickly followed Lilith there. Loki was lying on Lilith's lap, her mouth agape, exhausted.

“As I just said, I only have enough magic to use once. Even if I can only see it once, Rudy should already know how to use it.”

I nodded quietly.

"It's so frustrating, Rudy is going to surpass me again."

Chapter 149: The Enemy in the Light, We in the Dark

……

"You really know how to take other people's feelings into consideration, Lord Rudeus."

Lilith said abruptly.

She walked ahead, holding the reins. I couldn't see her expression, only her slender and well-proportioned back and her soft, golden hair cascading down like fine gold dust.

"You figured it out. Of course, you've seen me use that kind of magic in person."

I gave an awkward laugh. "No, I just didn't want Ms. Luo Qixi to feel inferior."

"You could have used it, but you deliberately failed. After all, I've seen Lord Rudeus cast the spell with my own eyes, so it's easy for me to see. But doesn't Lord Rudeus think he's deceiving himself?"

"Self-deception?"

This was the first time I'd ever heard Lilith speak with such a blaming tone.

I was a little confused. I had noticed that Ms. Luo Qixi often felt inferior because of my progress in magic. Although she said she would teach me a king-level magic trick, I was sure that if I showed her that I had mastered the king-level magic trick that she had painstakingly researched for many years, she would not feel good.

So when I tried to use the King-level magic "Lightning" just now, I dispersed the clouds as soon as they formed.

I know that Ms. Loki probably wouldn't be very happy either; she might think, "Compared to Rudeus, I do have a skill."

"You're underestimating your teacher, Lord Rudeus. Do you think that showing off your mastery of King-level magic to Teacher Loki would make her lose face?"

Lilith's tone was very calm, as if she could see right through me, and she had indeed guessed my thoughts pretty accurately.

"Not really..." I said after a moment's hesitation.

Lilith turned around, her deep eyes quickly locking onto me. I desperately tried to avoid her gaze. Perhaps noticing my averted eyes, she smiled slightly and said calmly:

"When Lord Rudius lies, his eyes always look away, and he always speaks without much confidence, just like now."

Hearing her say that, I felt a little guilty.

"Alright, alright, you figured it out, Miss Lilith."

"However, Lord Rudeus wasn't exactly lying; it's just that I said something that made Lord Rudeus feel guilty."

As she spoke, Lilith turned her back again, and the gentle, warm breeze carrying the fresh scent of her perfume wafted into my nostrils.

"What would make me feel guilty? Why would you say something like that?"

I asked.

Lilith gently tucked her hair behind her ear. "Because Lord Rudeus is still very naive, his intention to deliberately make the magic fail was good, but through a few words I said, he felt like he had done something wrong. This is a little trick that superiors often use on subordinates."

"A little trick that superiors often use on subordinates? Like Cosette does with the other ministers?"

Hearing Lilith say this, I suddenly remembered the methods Cosette used to deal with the other ministers. She would treat her subordinates unfairly, but she could still criticize them with a clear conscience. In the end, her subordinates would resign because they couldn't bear the pressure from their superiors and the work.

It perfectly mirrors how department heads and company presidents treat their subordinates in the lives of modern Japanese corporate slaves.

“That’s right, Lord Rudius has finally seen the light.”

Lilith turned half her face to me and smiled, “Lord Rudeus, what do you think is the difference between you and Cosette? To be honest, I don’t think Lord Rudeus has the qualifications to be the guild master.”

"Huh? You think I'm not qualified to be the president?"

I was a little surprised. She clearly thought I wasn't qualified to be the president, yet she still made a bet with me to make me the president. It was a bit unbelievable.

"That half-sentence isn't the point, Lord Rudeus. Even if Lord Rudeus doesn't have the qualifications to become the guild master, I still believe that Lord Rudeus will become the guild master in a year."

"Then why do you have such thoughts? There's still a big gap between me and Cosette. Just like the techniques you mentioned for superiors to deal with subordinates, if I were facing Cosette, I might have fallen for the same tricks as the other ministers."

As I say this, I feel a little sad for no reason, because it seems that I have been led by others all along, like the relationship between superiors and subordinates. The superior leads the subordinate by the nose, and the superior will also guide the subordinate to do things that are beneficial to himself in various ways, treating the subordinate as a tool to achieve his own goals.

His engagement to Alice, the murder in Dark City, and even his encounter with Lilith were probably all part of the same thing...

"Actually, the difference between Lord Rudeus and Cosette lies in their confidence."

Lilith was still carrying me on her back, but I felt like she was smiling.

"Confidence?"
