Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

After such a loud roar, one boy after another flew out from the crowd.

Some were lucky enough to fall headfirst into the snow, while others flew onto the wall, their good teeth all shattered by the city wall bricks.

In no time, the drill ground was filled with people lying haphazardly.

"With this level of skill, you think you can slack off?! Starting tomorrow, everyone will practice an extra hour every day!"

"Yes……"

The boys answered listlessly.

Chapter 102: Whispers (Part Two)

……

"Luke! What are you doing here..."

"Shh! Dilik, keep your voice down. I'm about to ask you the same thing, how did you get here?"

“Not only did Dilik come along, but I came too.”

"Ah! Your Highness, you too..."

"Shh!"

Snowflakes were falling from the sky, and groans filled the training ground. Two young men hid on the edge of the wall, peeking at the scene inside the field, while a young woman leaned against the two men. All three of them were people of high status, yet they were observing what was happening on the training ground from a hidden corner, or rather, observing the female instructor on the training ground.

"Luke, are you sure you have good taste? This woman is too ruthless."

Dirich hid behind the goalpost and whispered to Luke, who was staring at the female instructor with rapt attention.

"You don't know anything. Look at those voluptuous breasts and her shapely waist and hips, honed through exercise. That's a true beauty."

After hearing what Luke said, Ariel also moved closer to Luke and said:

"Oh dear, Luke, how did you figure that out she was wearing such heavy armor?"

"Just a guess, based on my years of experience with countless women..."

At this moment, Luke frowned slightly, as if sensing some danger. He immediately retreated behind the goalpost and alerted the other two.

"Quick, hide!"

Seeing Luke's quick reaction, Dirich and Ariel also quickly hid behind the goalposts.

In the center of the training ground, the female instructor glanced at the three people out of the corner of her eye. She saw them. As a Saint-level swordsman, her keen senses allowed her to clearly sense their presence. However, after she became a formal knight, many people had come to give her gifts or secretly observe her, mostly trying to curry favor with her father and uncle.

Therefore, she ignored the three people.

Then, she turned her gaze to another group of apprentice knights. Seeing the miserable state of the previous group, these young apprentice knights stood there trembling as soon as their eyes met hers.

"You, come here!"

……

"Oh dear, those people are so pitiful, it hurts just looking at them."

"Your Highness Ariel, someone is coming. We must go."

"Well, this is really not very satisfying."

……

The Royal Guard Training Ground of the Kingdom of Asra is very similar in structure to the ancient Colosseum. It is a huge, hollow space with high walls on both sides. The walls are hollowed out and contain facilities such as offices, dormitories, and meeting rooms. You can enter the inner wall from the outer gate and go through the corridor to enter the training ground.

As the youths struggled to their feet, clutching their stomachs and faces, a catwoman who looked like a servant entered the training ground, walked up to the red-haired female instructor, and bowed, saying:

"Miss Alice, Lord James is already waiting for you."

"okay, I get it."

"Clap!"

The female instructor clapped her hands lightly, and the eyes of the youths lying on the ground all focused on the female instructor in the center of the field.

That's all for today. Those who are injured should go see a healer as soon as possible. Everyone, please disperse.

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the female instructor left the training ground with the cat maid.

The female instructor was named Alice, the daughter of Philip Boreas Grerat, the lord of the Fituia territory. She had recently been promoted from a trainee knight to a full-fledged lower-ranking knight and also served as an instructor in the Royal Guard Knights.

On the path from apprentice knight to full knight, it usually takes five to ten years for most people, but Alice only took four months to go from apprentice knight to a fully knighted knight.

It cannot be ruled out that she is the daughter of the lord of the Fituia territory and the niece of the head of the Boreas family. Moreover, she herself is exceptionally strong, possessing Saint-level strength at the young age of fifteen, which is dazzling no matter where she is placed.

……

"It seems that Lady Alice has become an excellent instructor."

"Yes...yes...is that so, hahaha."

Alice and the cat maid chatted and laughed as they rode in the carriage toward their agreed meeting place.

After spending several months together, James had almost figured out the young lady's temperament. As long as the servants said some flattering words, the young lady would be so happy that she would talk incoherently.

This is the case now as well.

After hearing the praise, Alice scratched the back of her head shyly, her face turning as red as a monkey's bottom.

Actually, all the terminology that Alice used as an instructor today was memorized in advance, but fortunately, she didn't give herself away.

The more you are not good at something, the more you should try your best to do it well. This is a principle that Rudius once taught her.

If you lack talent, you can make up for it with hard work. Most people can only see Alice's imposing presence on the training ground, how she uses her superb sword skills to beat the apprentice knights in sparring, and how she scolds them with harsh and merciless words. But no one sees how she memorizes the entire set of terms word by word and how she hones her movements again and again.

She had heard of Rudeus, the renowned hero who single-handedly defeated the Lanoa border guards. Although she didn't know if the rumors were true or false, the thought that it was Rudeus made it clear.

To be worthy of Rudeus, who now has a legendary status, she must climb higher; mere swordsmanship and the position of a lord's daughter are not enough.

Her father and uncle told her this, and she thought it made sense. At least it was rare for her father and uncle to agree on the same point of view, and she was sure that listening to their arrangements would not be wrong.

The carriage stopped in front of a high-end clubhouse.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Alice? Lord James is waiting for you. Please follow me."

As soon as Alice stepped into the store, a waiter greeted her in a friendly, conversational manner.

After all, this wasn't Alice's first time visiting a store like this, so she seemed quite at ease.

Although it is a high-end club, it is not a formal occasion.

Stepping into the front courtyard of the clubhouse, the noise was quite loud, but it wasn't the chaotic scene of people drinking and causing trouble like in the Adventurers' Guild, nor was it the busy scene of people handling various matters or conducting various research like in the Magicians' Guild. Instead, it was filled with various elegant discussions, such as appreciating fine wines obtained from the Kingdom of the Dragon King and sharing precious flowers and herbs obtained from the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Several people, clearly old nobles of unknown origin—perhaps ministers who served the king among the officials and nobles of the Kingdom of Asura years ago, or perhaps wealthy merchants concerned with state affairs—were loudly discussing something, oblivious to their surroundings.

"That tiny country of Milis is going too far!! Don't forget who was beaten to a pulp seventy years ago!"

"Our Asura is a great empire, with vast territory and abundant resources. Why would we be afraid of Milis raising tariffs by a mere cent or two?"

"Yes! If all else fails, we'll go to war!"

Upon seeing this, the store supervisor quickly went to stop it.

"Sirs, this is not a place to discuss state affairs."

Some wealthy merchants and nobles in the capital often choose to come to such places to relax. For example, they might have a simple drink or herbal tea in the front yard of the club, chat, or bring their prized birds to enjoy with other friends. However, there is an unwritten rule: do not discuss state affairs.

After being stopped, the elderly people started talking about other things.

Upon entering the inner hall, one finds groups of young people dressed in splendid attire, holding half-length bows and arrows, slowly and methodically shooting at small targets twenty paces away.

In the back hall of the clubhouse, there was a special archery area. I don’t know when it started, but people used delicate half-bows to slowly shoot at a target twenty paces away. Because half-bows require almost no strength, the difficulty lies in controlling the accuracy and direction. Playing this game tests patience and concentration, and it was a game that nobles enjoyed very much.

When the people saw Alice, they all bowed and greeted her, but Alice was not used to responding. She only heard a few sighs behind her, such as "The young lady of the Boreas family is truly an ice beauty," before she passed through the back hall and came to what looked like a restaurant.

Some nobles, not intending to eat at home, would bring their wives, children, or betrothed concubines to such places to eat wild food and change their palates.

Alice and the cat maid followed the waiter to a private room that wasn't very luxuriously decorated. The waiter then left, and Alice went inside, while the cat maid stood outside.

There were three people in the private room. One was James, who had graying temples and looked like a fat, middle-aged man. The man and woman sitting next to him were unfamiliar faces to Alice.

Upon entering, Alice first bowed to James, who was seated at the head of the table.

"Good afternoon, uncle."

"No need for formalities, Alice."

James then gestured for Alice to sit down, and then stood up to introduce the two people sitting next to him.

"Alice, let me introduce you first. This is your brother Albert, and that is Miss Izuru from the Water God Dojo. The rest of the time is for you young people. I'll be leaving now."

James succinctly explained the purpose of today's gathering before leaving the private room.

Afterwards, Albert and Izuru introduced themselves, leaving only Alice, Albert, and Izuru in the private room.

Alice was somewhat at ease with James, who was, after all, her uncle. But when it came to Albert and Izzo, whom she had barely met, she didn't know what to say.

At this point, the atmosphere became awkward.

"Um...you guys...hello..."

"Ah, Alice, right... Hello..."

After a brief greeting from Alice and Albert, the atmosphere fell silent again.

Izuru carefully examined the red-haired girl in full armor before her, then whispered to Albert:

"Hey Albert, isn't your sister adorable?"

"Where is it cute? I don't see it."

"That's right, see for yourself."

Albert turned around and looked Alice closely.

Alice noticed Albert's gaze sweeping up and down her body, and her mind went completely blank. In the past, she would have already started hitting him, but things were different now. Her arrogant personality had been somewhat worn down, and she would not resort to violence unless she could no longer bear it.

"She actually does seem kind of cute."

"She's so cute!"

Having accidentally lost control of her volume, Izuru quickly covered her mouth upon realizing it.

“Um… I heard everything, Miss Izoruti.”

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

The silence among the three was broken by Izuru's words, "You're so cute!" Little did the three know that this one sentence had successfully opened up a floodgate of conversation among them.

Then they started talking about all sorts of things, like what was fun in the capital, or which restaurant had the best food. Alice rarely got a word in edgewise, but when they talked about her life in Roya before coming to the capital, especially about Rudeus, she talked on and on.

"I have heard my father mention your engagement to Rudeus, but the more widely circulated claim is that Rudeus is my grandfather's illegitimate son."

"Rudius isn't some illegitimate child, he is..."

The most widespread claim among the nobility is that Rudeus was the illegitimate son of Sauros, but this has no connection to the legendary Rudeus. The nobility held illegitimate children in utter contempt, and no one would associate a sordid illegitimate child with a hero.

Alice was about to reveal Rudeus's family background when she realized that telling others that Rudeus's family was related to the Notos family might cause Rudeus trouble, so she stopped halfway through her sentence.

I thought about what I was saying before speaking, which is rare. If Rudius knew, he would definitely praise me.

Alice thought so.

"Did Alice write to Rudius? I'd go crazy if I got engaged to a man and didn't keep in touch."

Upon hearing Izoruti's words, Alice put her hands together on the table, her two index fingers circling each other, looking like a shy, immature teenager.

"It seems... I haven't written one..."

"That's no reason for you not to get married, Izuru."

Albert joked from the side.

"Alice, then why don't you try writing a letter to Rudeus!"
