Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

……

The weather was already very cold, and I walked shivering through the deserted streets of Charlotte at midnight.

I managed to escape from Genna's house, or rather, I slipped out after Mulgore left.

For Genius, letting me hide under the bed without exposing me was already a considerable gesture of goodwill, so Genius had become an ally. Therefore, I exchanged chips with him, or rather, we exchanged them, but not completely.

It's not a pleasant feeling to have someone hold a handle against you, so I can roughly understand why Genus would accept a bribe from Mulgore.

Thinking it over, time really flies; it's almost been a year since I came to university.

In about a month, new students will be enrolling. Thinking back to when I first enrolled, who knew that the person who barely passed the entrance exam was a Saint-level magician?

Oh……

Just like Professor Genius, the highly respected vice-principal of La Noah Magic University and a Saint-level magician, who was forced to be led by the nose by two teenagers and young men in their twenties because of his lifestyle issues.

"Hiss... It's so cold..."

I tucked my hands into my sleeves, and the chill intensified. I tried to use fire magic to warm them, but my hands felt frozen stiff, and I had no desire to take them out to perform any more magic.

"Rudy!"

"Teacher Luo Qixi?"

Standing in the middle of the road was a figure dressed in a heavy cotton coat that seemed completely out of place for someone so small.

Was that Buddha's light...?

I look up at the road leading beyond the Six Perfections in the distance; it must be Bodhi that will lead me across the sea of ​​suffering to the other shore of Nirvana.

Gods...

It's fluffy, is it... a scarf...?

Before I could react, Ms. Luo Qixi was standing in front of me. She reached out and wrapped her arms around my neck, and my skin, which had just been covered by the cold wind, immediately felt warm.

She smiled slightly at me, the silvery moonlight shining on her face, making her youthful, fair complexion glow.

"Teacher Luo Qixi, what are you doing here? Especially at this time?"

"Ha~"

She stretched out her arm and yawned at me, and a pungent smell of alcohol fermenting in her body hit me.

It seems she went drinking again.

The reason there were no signs of drinking on her face was probably because she had used an antidote.

"You've been drinking so late again. I just can't do anything with you, Ms. Luo Qixi."

I raised my hand and lightly tapped Ms. Luo Qixi's forehead with my index finger knuckle. She immediately covered the spot where she was hit and put on a wronged look.

"I'm sorry~ I'm sorry~ It's not the end of the year, so my colleagues have been having more gatherings. I even came out to give Rudy a scarf. If Rudy keeps acting like this, I'm going to get angry."

"That's true. In that case, I'll forgive old Luo Qixi."

Perhaps the effects of the alcohol hadn't completely worn off, because there was a hint of girlish frivolity in her words.

"Anyway, thank you for the scarf, Ms. Luo Qixi."

I gently patted Ms. Luo Qixi on the shoulder, and we continued walking side by side on the empty street.

Walking alone is always so monotonous, cold, and long, but if someone is with you, the wanderer in the night will not feel that things are not going his way.

"By the way, has Silphie gone back?"

I turned my head to look at her and asked.

“Hilufi…” Loki’s expression held a slight bitterness, “She’s probably already gone back…”

"I see..."

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the dormitory building. I looked up at the sky and saw that it was already tinged with haze. The moonlight was no longer so bright. Was it going to snow again?

"Rudy, how about we split up and go up?"

Ms. Luo Qixi gently pushed me into the stairwell, then turned and walked outside.

If I go back with Professor Loki, it's possible that Sylphie might misunderstand.

There was really nothing we could do about it. After all, she's very sensitive, both to Teacher Luo Qixi and me. Besides, Teacher Luo Qixi and I do have secrets we're keeping from her.

"Wait a minute, Ms. Luo Qixi."

I caught up with that small, still-walking figure and whispered:

"It's cold outside, Ms. Luo Qixi, you should go up first."

I held her coat, which was already soaked through by the cold wind, with one hand, and touched the scarf she had just put around my neck with the other. One hand was icy cold, while the other was warm as spring.

"I'm such a bad adult."

"Huh? Teacher Luo Qixi...why do you say that?"

"Stop calling me teacher, Rudy."

She pushed my hand away from her shoulder, and I immediately felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar.

Teacher Luo Qixi turned around, and for a moment, our eyes met. Soft snowflakes fell from the sky, and the moonlight shone on her light blue hair, shimmering with dappled light from the scattered snowflakes.

"I'm clearly not any better than Rudy in any way. Even when I teach Rudy a King-level magic trick, he has to pretend that he hasn't learned it. Rudy, do you really think I can't tell?"

The thing that Ms. Loki suddenly mentioned feels like it happened a long time ago, like it was springtime back then. But what I remember most vividly that day was Lilith and Silphi riding the same horse.

At the time, I wanted to pretend to fail so that Teacher Luo Qixi wouldn't feel inferior, but in the end, I was just deceiving myself.

"Sorry……"

She gently shook her head, her lips slightly parted, her soft voice sounding as if she were about to cry.

“That’s nothing. Later, because of me, Rudy, you were taken advantage of by those two bad students. I really became someone who dragged Rudy down…”

"How could this be..."

I hesitated, unsure of what to say. I raised my hand to put it on Ms. Luo Qixi's shoulder again, but it felt like being repelled by a magnet of the same polarity, and I couldn't put it down at all.

"And now... Rudy, are you even going to take away my right to stand downstairs in the cold for a while in your place?"

How much did Ms. Luo Qixi drink to say something like that? The detoxification magic must not have been used completely. Only heroines in visual novels would say something like that; how could it possibly happen in real life?

"Teacher, you've had too much to drink..."

"I did drink quite a bit, but there are some things... I can't say under normal circumstances..."

As she spoke, she turned her head away, as if she didn't intend to let me see her face, as if she had already cried.

"Rudy, you are very sensible and mature. You are at a level that teenagers your age can never reach. Whether it is magic or interpersonal skills, you make me feel inferior. I am not worthy of being called teacher by Rudy at all!"

Hearing her words, I immediately felt ashamed. My mental age was almost the same as Teacher Luo Qixi's. I was thirty-four years old in my previous life, and fourteen years have passed in this life. It was only natural that I was a child who was much older than my peers.

However, Ms. Luo Qixi is not what she claims to be. Ms. Luo Qixi, you may not know, but to me, you are like a god.

"That's not true! Teacher, please don't say that!"

Whether the teacher was drunk or had been holding back for too long and was speaking incoherently, since she took the lead, I should also tell her what's on my mind.

"Before I met you, teacher, I was terrified of the outside world and never dared to set foot outside my home. It was you, teacher, who taught me magic and took me out of my home, allowing me to take my first step into the world beyond my home. That's how I met Silphie and how I met Teacher Loki at the Magic University!"

"But I didn't help Rudy at all..."

She looked at me with an incredulous gaze, as the snow fell heavier and heavier, soon obscuring my vision with its flakes.

"To me, Ms. Luo Qixi is the best teacher in the world."

……

"It's snowing, what are you two still doing standing outside? Come back here quickly."

In the dimly lit hallway, a slender figure came into view of me and Ms. Luo Qixi.

Chapter 175: Breaking the Army (Part 6)

……

"Um, Silphie? Listen to me, it's not what you think..."

The moment I recognized her, my first thought was to defend myself.

"What am I thinking? What am I thinking like?"

In an instant, the heavy snow obscured my vision, and the slender figure drew closer. I couldn't see her face clearly, but her voice and those long, delicate ears didn't lie.

"Let's talk inside."

A gentle, childlike voice entered my ear, and the cool touch of skin reached my palm.

She took not only my hand, but also Ms. Luo Qixi's.

However, Ms. Luo Qixi didn't say a word.

I glanced at her sideways. In the bleak moonlight and the falling snow, Ms. Luo Qixi's face was flushed slightly, like a dim red taillight.

If a third person had overheard our conversation, I would probably feel extremely ashamed if I were Teacher Luo Qixi.

The three of them silently made their way up the dark stairs back to their dormitory. The fireplace in the living room was burning brightly, and the flames on the firewood were crackling and popping.

Teacher Luo Qixi and I shook off the snow, and two cups of hot water were brought to us.

"Teacher Luo Qixi, Rudy, get some rest early, good night."

After saying that, Hilfi returned to her room.

"Mmm... Goodnight..."

Seeing Silphie's current reaction, I looked into the eyes of Professor Loki. I sensed that Silphie was acting strangely, and I couldn't help but feel a little worried, as if Professor Loki would not see the sun rise tomorrow morning.

Nothing happened that night. When dawn broke, open your eyes; nothing had occurred.

Election day arrived quickly.

The sun was unusually bright that day, high in the sky, its rays intense and harsh even in the winter sun.

In the school's central square, a large crowd gathered below the platform. Cosette sat cross-legged on a sofa on the platform, flanked by Sylphy and three other ministers, along with rows of student council members.

Such a grand display wouldn't be excessive even if her father came.

I was sitting in the side seat, and the chair next to me was empty. Normally, that should be Dolan's seat.

"I'm not late, am I, Lord Rudeus?"

Lilith walked from backstage to my side. Now, whenever I see her, it always makes me think of her as a wandering ghost suffering from withdrawal symptoms, who would even sell his own daughter to enjoy that moment of opium.

Just kidding. Of course, it's impossible not to do H things with Lilith during these six months, but I still restrained myself. I just couldn't bring myself to force myself on her without her consent.

Of course, when she saw that I couldn't stand it anymore, she would agree to my request and, as if it were charity, do it with me a few times.

“Of course it’s not too late, Lilith.”

I shrugged and glanced at Hilfi on the platform; she was also looking in my direction.

"By the way, Lilith."

"What is it, Lord Rudeus?"

"Perhaps you should stop using honorifics to address me. You are older than me and of a higher status. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable to always use honorifics to address me."

She turned her head to look at Sylphie, who was watching from the high platform. I could almost feel the murderous intent emanating from Sylphie's wine-red eyes.

"Rudy? How about that name?"

"Rudy" is a name only Paul, Senis, Ms. Loki, and Sylvie would use to call me...

If Lilith also called me that, Sylphie's reaction would be quite unsettling.

"No, just call me Rudius."

"Rudius, is that so?"

Lilith stroked her chin, her eyes already looking elsewhere.

What is she thinking?

Those deep pupils always unconsciously create a strange unease in my heart.
