Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"My own bed is still the most comfortable."

I was awakened by birdsong in the early morning. Most of the birds had probably already flown to the south side of the Red Dragon Mountains to spend the winter, leaving only a small number behind in Sharia.

After my experience resting in a hotel the previous night, I cherished my bed even more.

I kept wriggling my body, enjoying the comfort and relaxation that the soft bed brought to my body and mind. Indeed, only those who have experienced hardship can know how wonderful their environment is.

"Knock knock, knock knock"

"Rudy, wake up! Let's go for a run."

"Oh, alright."

Today is the second day of my morning exercise routine. I've made it a good habit. Sylphie is already waiting for me. Even though I don't want to break free from the constraints of this bed, I still struggled to get out of bed, washed up, and left the room to start investing in my body.

"Huh? Hilfi, what are you doing?"

I pushed open the door to the room and found that Hilfi was holding a chair with both hands, raising and lowering it evenly.

"Ah, seeing that Rudy hasn't come out yet, I'll do some preparatory exercises."

There are no dumbbells in this world, so strength training isn't very convenient, but this is the first time I've seen a chair used instead of dumbbells.

However, it's also clear that this kind of exercise would be very inconvenient for Hilfi, since carrying a chair at home has never been associated with anything good; it's either family conflicts or the family falling apart.

Because I'm an observant man.

So I immediately made a dumbbell using a simple magic trick. The dumbbell wasn't very heavy, and I could easily lift it with one hand.

"Silphie, wouldn't this be better than practicing with a chair?"

"what is this?"

Hilfi put down the chair, took the dumbbell from my hand, and then began to swing it up and down. Watching Hilfi's thin arms, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, swinging the dumbbell, I wondered if one day I would hear Hilfi say something like, "I've gone bald, and I've become stronger."

[Note: "I went bald and I became stronger" is a reference to Saitama, the character with the strongest art style, from the anime "One-Punch Man".]

Huh! I shook my head frantically, stopping my wild thoughts. What the hell is this bald-headed Silphie?

Oh, right, Sylvie only has one dumbbell right now; it would be more effective to train with both at the same time.

"Wait a moment, Sylphie."

Magic gathered in his hands, and another dumbbell took shape.

"Oh, thank you, Rudy."

Hilfi took the dumbbells; she had completed her morning run with weights on.

……

After breakfast, Silphie and I went to the Mage Guild's warehouse. Before entering the warehouse, we borrowed two brushes from the reception desk to paint the wooden boards with black paint.

The plan went very smoothly. After painting the blackboard, I used a simple trick to make a mold for making chalk. I poured an appropriate amount of water into the plaster, stirred it into a paste, poured it into the mold, and let it air dry. The chalk was then completed.

With her face covered in black paint spots, Hilfi squatted down, holding a chalk mold in both hands and gently shaking it. The dried chalk fell to the ground from the bottom of the mold.

I picked one up; it felt very light in my hand and left a white powder on my skin. Yes, it was chalk.

Great. All that's left is to take this chalk and blackboard teaching aid set to Vice Principal Genius for commercial promotion. If Genius is interested, it will be a very good deal.

……

"Teacher Genius, look, I've brought you a wonderful treasure!"

"Ah! Rudius, Silphiette, what's this?"

"I'm so naive," said Genius, pointing to the blackboard that Shilufi and I had brought to the office. His face was wrinkled and he looked like he'd never seen anything like it.

"Rudy said this is something that will change the entire magic university."

"Is it this black wooden board?"

"That's right, this will be the greatest invention in the history of education at La Noah Magic University this century!"

As I spoke, I leaned the blackboard against the wall and wrote words on it with chalk. Then I took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blackboard, and the words disappeared.

"This……"

Genius stared at what had just happened on the blackboard, speechless with astonishment.

While the iron is hot, I will now go on to explain the making of blackboards and chalk, as well as the convenient role that blackboards will play in teaching.

At first, Genius didn't understand how the blackboard worked at all, and even thought it was some kind of magic tool. But after he wrote a few words with chalk and then erased them, he began to marvel at the wonder of the blackboard.

"I want to buy a large quantity of these things called blackboards! Mr. Rudius, I want to work with you long-term!"

Those rough hands, covered in white plaster powder, gripped my left hand firmly, and at the same time, I received my first pot of gold.

Genus purchased enough blackboards for the entire magic university to use, for five Asura gold coins, in the name of Lanoa Magic University.

Without a doubt, this was my first pot of gold.

After reaching an agreement with Genus, I applied for a patent with the Magic Association. Subsequently, I purchased large quantities of neatly cut wooden boards, black paint, and plaster in the name of the Magic University and the Magic Association.

In order to store more materials, the number of warehouses rented by the Magic Association was increased from one to five.

They then rented a warehouse separately, converted it into a production workshop, and hired workers to paint blackboards and make chalk.

A month later, blackboards were in use throughout the entire La Noah Magic University.

Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without Transfer Events, I Will Live Seriously [100-Chapter Bonus]

100-Chapter Bonus: Sarah if

[Note: This is a route where neither the gods nor humans attack Sarah.]

……

My name is Ludono Numan, I am thirty years old, I live in Sharia, and I am currently the youngest professor at La Noa Magic University.

Seventeen years ago, I met my current wife, Sarah, by chance.

Back then, my name was Rudius Boreas Grerat.

At that time, I went to study at La Noa Magic University with my childhood sweetheart, Silphiet. Sarah's adventurer party was the escort for my and Silphiet's caravan.

Upon arriving at the border city of Dak in La Noa, they were caught up in the plot of the local nobleman Pedro Caroline to seize the mayorship of Dak. After a bloody battle, everyone except Sarah was killed.

They managed to save the critically injured Sarah, but not Silphie. She and several members of [counterarrow] rest in peace in the forest outside Dark City.

After that incident, I understood why Sarah hated nobles so much. At the same time, I also felt the darkness and cruelty of noble politics. So I abandoned the name Rudeus Boreas Grerat and asked Bruno to spread the news that Rudeus was dead.

I, using the alias Ludo, came to La Noa Magic University in Charia with Sarah.

Because Sarah was haunted by the memory of her entire party being wiped out, she stopped working as an adventurer after arriving in Sharia and instead stayed at the Adventurers' Guild as a receptionist.

After learning that I had saved her life, Sarah's attitude towards me improved dramatically, and she even developed feelings for me.

In the past, she would always scold me, saying things like, "Nobles are disgusting." Later, whenever I heard rumors about nobles oppressing the people or about the release of policies that made me unhappy, I would also tell her, "Nobles are disgusting." We would also often flirt over mealtimes, saying silly things like, "Today I'll feed you, tomorrow you'll feed me."

I've also fantasized about whether I might end up with Sarah someday.

By then, Hilfi was no longer around, and my biggest worry was Alice. I wondered if she would still keep her engagement to me, and I even fantasized about returning to the Kingdom of Asura one day and eloping with Alice.

It wasn't until my third year at La Noah Magic University that I met Bruno, who was there to resell goods in Sharia, while shopping for clothes with Sarah outside of school.

That evening, when he invited me to dinner, he told me that Alice had married a young master from the Notos family named Luke Notos Grellat, and he also gave me a King-level healing scroll, saying it was a gift from an official.

I understand their intention; it's just that the Boreas and Nottos families know I'm not dead, and they're giving me a scroll to heal my hand so I won't cause them any trouble.

Alice married someone else, and my only attachment to her is gone.

Despairing, I even considered jumping off a building to commit suicide. Sarah saved me from the school rooftop and told me that even if everyone else abandoned me, she wouldn't, because I was her only support.

That very night, we got together.

That same year, I married Sarah.

……

"Professor Ludo, I would like to ask you a question about the principles of thunder magic."

"This lightning magic can be understood as a variant of water magic. Its original theoretical basis is the water king-level magic, Lightning Lightning. In reality, it requires the compression of magical energy..."

"Teacher Ludo, I'd like to ask you about the Chaotic Demon you just mentioned..."

"Teacher Ludo..."

As soon as get out of class ended, I was surrounded by students asking me all sorts of questions.

"Professor Ludo, are you going to have your lesson here today?"

Mr. Daniel, standing at the classroom door, crossed his arms and looked impatiently at his pocket watch.

He is over forty years old this year. He used to work in the same office as Ms. Luo Qixi. I know that he likes Ms. Luo Qixi and has been pursuing her relentlessly for more than ten years, but he has never succeeded.

Three years ago, after Ms. Loki was elected principal, Mr. Daniel seemed to have given up, or rather, given up on himself. A year ago, he married a long-eared woman with a bad reputation. The bride was very beautiful, but apart from the wedding, we didn't have any other contact.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I have to go now, everyone. Let's leave the questions for next time. Some problems can actually be solved by working hard on your own."

"Okay, goodbye, Professor Ludo!"

After I left, Mr. Daniel entered the classroom, and there were two-thirds fewer students.

I believe I have a pretty good reputation among students. Every time I take an elective course, the classroom is packed with students who choose my class. Some students who didn't get a spot in my class will come even if there are no seats available, bringing their own stools and cushions or standing up to attend my class.

At school, I am highly respected. Regardless of my status as a Water King-level magician, in the ten years I have taught, four of my students have reached the Water Saint level, a feat no other teacher has ever accomplished.

This is probably one of the reasons why my courses are so popular.

After leaving school, I went straight to the Magic Association.

After graduating from the magic university, I succeeded Merlin as his teacher. That position had been vacant for six years since the year Merlin passed away, and it had been reserved for me.

Entering the hall, I found that the decor of the Magic Guild hadn't changed in over a decade. There were still a few round tables and bookshelves on two walls. The only difference was that the blackboard behind the reception desk, which I had invented over a decade ago, was now used to record the various services available that day.

"Hello, Mr. Ludo."

"Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Ludo."

"Hello."

"Mr. Ludo looks very handsome today."

"Really? Haha, you have a sweet tongue."

Upon seeing me, everyone stopped what they were doing to greet me, just like how Merlin was respected back then.

Following the corridor into the second-floor office, I realized this was Professor Merlin's room when he was alive, and now it was mine.

I rearranged the room; the floor-to-ceiling windows were half-blocked by a low bookcase, and a new bed was placed there.

"You two haven't made up yet, Rudy?"

The only person who still calls me Rudy is Professor Loki, but only in private.

Ms. Luo Qixi is still as petite and adorable as ever. She is lying on my desk, idly fiddling with her light blue three-strand braid.

"That's it."

I walked up to her, picked her up, and let her sit on my lap. She wrapped one arm around my waist and stroked my fair, rosy face with the other.

"Where is Lala?"

"Lala has gone to school, and she hasn't gotten out of school yet."

"That's right, perfect, then no one will bother us."

After I finished speaking, I kissed him.
