Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

In an instant, the hat fell off her head, revealing a pair of long, reddish ears and a head of long, emerald-green hair to the three of us.

Mr. Merlin showed no reaction, perhaps because he had lived a long life and seen the world, while Mr. Guard, although he had met us once before, was still so frightened that he curled up in the corner of the bed and trembled.

After I apologized to the gatekeeper, I pulled Silphie away from the guard post and went to Mr. Merlin.

Hilfi also put on a hat to cover her green hair.

"Take off your hat."

"Merlin stroked his beard and said."

Eh?

What is Professor Merlin thinking?

Removing her hat to reveal Silphie's green hair would definitely cause panic.

Hilfi pulled her hat tighter, showing no intention of taking it off.

"People who get perfect scores will be recognized by everyone sooner or later, so what difference does it make whether they wear a hat or not?"

I suddenly realized that Hilfi was the top scorer in the entrance exam, and she even got a perfect score. Once the school officially started, everyone would definitely recognize her. Also, some people already knew us when we enrolled, and because of the rumors, people would know it was her just by hearing her name. No one would care whether she had green hair or not.

"But... phew..."

Hilfi took a deep breath and, though reluctantly, took off her hat.

"You two come with me."

After saying that, Ms. Merlin walked out of the school.

……

Hilfi and I followed Mr. Merlin as we walked down the streets of La Noa. It was probably a little after seven in the morning, and the sun hadn't fully risen yet.

Various vendors on the street had already set up their stalls, and everyone who passed by greeted Merlin-sensei. Merlin-sensei was quite respected.

"Are those Spruds?"

"With Lord Merlin with him, it can't be."

"Yes, yes, with Lord Merlin here, what is there to worry about?"

……

People passing by should have shown fear, doubt, or surprise upon seeing Sylphie and me behind us, but perhaps because we were walking behind Merlin, they seemed a little uncomfortable but still calmly brushed past us.

"Mr. Merlin is truly a respected teacher..."

"It's nothing, just that horses get older as they live longer."

After walking for a while, we arrived at what looked like a morning market.

"Have you two eaten yet?"

Merlin suddenly stopped, turned around and said to me and Sylphie.

"Not yet, but I'm not very hungry. How about you, Silphie?"

"Yes, me too."

……

"...coo coo coo"

"Ok."

The teacher shouldn't have said anything, because as soon as he mentioned food, my stomach started growling, even though I hadn't had breakfast yet.

We followed Teacher Merlin to a small shop and sat down.

"Lord Merlin, what would you and these two guests like to eat?"

The proprietress, wrapped in a cotton coat, looked round and plump like a ball. She stood respectfully next to Merlin and asked us what we wanted to eat. But actually, we should have asked Merlin what he wanted to eat, because she showed a timid look as soon as she saw Sylphie. Sylphie and I were only sitting here because of Merlin.

Teacher Merlin looked at the proprietress, stroked his beard, and said:

"Three bowls of cream soup..."

Then he looked at me and Hilfi.

"Is one bread roll enough for each of you two?"

"That's enough, thank you, Professor Merlin."

There are seven loaves of bread left.

If we each eat one loaf of bread, does Merlin, at his age, really need to eat five loaves?

I remember when Lord Saloth was still alive, he was in his prime, in his fifties, and often did things that required a lot of energy. Even so, he would only eat three pieces of bread at most per meal.

Although Alice also eats three loaves of bread per meal, ordinary people like me, Philip, and Hilda only need one loaf of bread per meal.

After a while, the food was served.

Generally speaking, a cheap and delicious breakfast is a bowl of hot cream soup with a sweet, milky aroma, paired with a piece of bread.

In addition, I invented a very delicious way to eat it: soak the bread in cream soup and eat it piece by piece. The bread is soaked in the cream soup, and every bite is delicious.

But now, with bread and cream soup in front of us, neither of us picked them up to eat. Instead, we both looked at Teacher Merlin.

Perhaps it's a habit I developed living in a noble family. Although I never paid attention to it in front of Teacher Luo Qixi, when Luo Ya was at home, I always waited for the master to finish eating or for the master to say that I could eat before I could eat.

Having studied aristocratic etiquette, Hilfi maintained this habit.

Although Merlin wasn't a nobleman, it made Sylphie and me continue to follow this custom.

"Don't worry, it's my treat. Eat up."

Teacher Merlin thought we weren't eating because we were afraid of spending money, but that wasn't the case. After all, I had enough money on me to eat as many meals as I wanted.

Hilfi and I exchanged a glance; she had the same thought as me, so neither of us ate, but instead watched the cream soup steam.

Teacher Merlin glanced at me and Sylphie, seemingly understanding our meaning immediately, then sighed:

"I'm not a nobleman, you guys eat."

"Okay, teacher."

After saying that, Hilfi and I each picked up a piece of bread and started to drink a sip of cream soup and eat a bite of bread.

Actually, I also want to eat it that way, but when I had two hands, I could break the bread into the cream soup and eat it. But now that I only have one hand, it's really inconvenient.

Moreover, that way of eating is really not very elegant.

"It's understandable for girls to eat less, but isn't it shameful for boys to eat only one piece of bread?"

As she spoke, Ms. Merlin placed another loaf of bread in front of me.

"Teacher... I... one is enough for me..."

"If you don't eat more, you might be exhausted to death later."

Ms. Merlin put down the bread in her hand, then spread her fingers horizontally and rested her arms on the table.

His gaze was very sharp, much like that of a certain commander.

[Note: This refers to Gendo cosplay]

"All right……"

I'll be exhausted... What did the teacher say?

Can you die from exhaustion and depletion of your magic power while learning magic?

But I haven't heard of anything like that yet...

In the end, I still finished those two pieces of bread. I felt so full that I slumped in my chair, clutching my stomach.

As for Teacher Merlin, he was already quite old, yet he ate four loaves of bread as if nothing had happened to him. He ate very quickly, basically two bites per loaf, like a jackal devouring meat.

Teacher Merlin took out a handkerchief from her bodice and slowly wiped her mouth. She then called the landlady over and handed her two copper coins.

Then, I looked at myself slumped in the chair and at Hilfi, who had neatly arranged the tableware after finishing her meal.

"Are you full?"

"Yes, thank you... teacher... for the hospitality."

"Then let's go."

"Uh... okay..."

Next, Mr. Merlin took me and Sylphie to the Magic Association.

The Magic Association was also entirely constructed of anti-magic bricks, and its interior layout was similar to that of the Adventurers' Guild.

When the three of us entered the Magic Guild, the people inside looked at us with surprise, but when they saw Merlin-sensei in front of them, they continued with their work.

Entering the corridor inside the Magic Guild, there are portraits of several "honorary magicians" hanging on the wall, including the first principal of the Magic University, the founder of the Magic Guild... and one more, Mr. Merlin.

As far as I know, Merlin is only a senior magician. What outstanding contributions has he made that he is ranked alongside those king-level magicians, or even those famous figures who have made outstanding contributions but are not king-level magicians?

There seems to be more information below...

It seems he created a magic trick that had never appeared before...

"Disturbance magic..."

what is that?

……

Chaos Demon?

What exactly is it?

This line of text is very small and contains only a few words. It only states that Merlin's main achievement was the development of the Chaos Demon, without explaining what the Chaos Demon's function is.

I pointed to the two short lines of description below the picture frame and asked the female employee standing to the side:

"Excuse me, what kind of magic is the [disturb magic] that Merlin mentioned in his introduction?"

The clerk frowned, looking troubled. Could this "Chaos Demon" be some extremely dangerous magic trick? Once unleashed, it would trigger a third impact, turning everyone into orange juice!?

[Note: The references to the Third Impact turning into orange juice are from the anime/manga series *Neon Genesis Evangelion*.]

"What is a chaotic demon? Where is it written?"

The female employee bent down and read out the few lines of text in the introduction word by word with her finger, then looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Where can I find it?

Strange? Can't she see?

"What's wrong, Rudy?"

I called out to Hilfi, who was standing to the side. She was reading about the other characters on the wall. I must have spoken a little too softly for her to hear me, so I reached out and tugged at her arm.

She seemed a little flustered when she was suddenly pulled by Hilfi.

"Silphie, can you see what's written here?"

"Ok?"

Hilfi looked at where I was pointing, and like the clerk, she shook her head, indicating that she couldn't see anything.

This is strange.

It's possible that the clerk deliberately said she couldn't see it because she didn't want to tell me, but Hilfi had absolutely no motive to do the same.

Did I see it wrong?

I looked at those lines of text again, and sure enough, they were there.

Is there a reason why they can't see?
