Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 129 Rudy, you teach the young lady magic, how can you involve me, Alan? [4k]

There was no such thing as a nap after meals in the Boreas family's schedule.

After everyone finished eating, the blood flowed to the stomach, so except for Alan and Gileno, the other three kids' steps were a little unsteady.

Logically speaking, people should feel sleepy at this time. Alan was even prepared to run away at the speed of light to find a stable to sleep as soon as Alice turned a corner.

Turns out she didn't.

why?
On the one hand, eating with "partners" is a rare experience for Alice, who grew up "alone" all these years.

Very novel, I like it very much.

The young lady was very happy and walked briskly.

When people are surrounded by the "happiness of a group of people" and dopamine is secreted, they often subconsciously refuse to make the decision to "leave the group."

As for Alice, at this moment she had no intention of skipping classes and going to sleep alone as usual.

Even though she didn't realize she was in the 'happiness of a group of people'.

But her intuition helped her make a judgment.

On the other hand, it was because the casual praise from Sauros worked.

This is her number one "role model" person, which shows how much she likes her grandfather.

And grandpa's praise is tied to the class.

Then the class will not be boring.

At least, at the moment of receiving the compliment.

It is not boring.

then.

Under Alice's vigorous and proactive leadership, several people came to the courtyard outside and started the afternoon tutoring class.

Magic and swordplay.

That should be an outdoor class.

Nothing wrong?

This move disrupted Rudy's plan to teach a magic theory class, but when he saw that Alice was so energetic and did not feel panicked by her plans being disrupted, he relaxed instead.

I think the magic class will not be difficult later.

Rudy thought so.

however.

An hour later, the cruel reality told him that this was not the case.
"May the great blessing of water descend upon the place you seek, and a refreshing shallow stream appear here - Water Ball Technique!"

In the voices of Gileno and Alice speaking in unison.

"Gulu" sound.

A mini water ball slightly larger than a glass bead emerged from in front of Gileno's palm, fell on the grass with a snap, and shattered into a crystal flower.

And next to her.

There was nothing in front of Alice's palm.

This scene was too real, reflected in the eyes of Allen, Sylphy, and Rudy, and the three of them were silent.

This was the 53rd time that Alice had failed to cast the water ball technique.

Alice's good mood and enthusiasm for learning were naturally worn out by repeated failures.
Rudy looked at Alice's tense little face and was silent for a moment.

Suddenly they started clapping!
"Good! Very good! Try harder, you will definitely be able to do it next time! Alice, your arm muscles are twitching. Don't just feel the muscles in your arms working. You don't even need to feel the flow of magic power. Just relax your body."

Alice clenched her open palms, as if she wanted to crush 'failure' to death.

She gritted her teeth and glanced at Rudy, anger bursting out from between her teeth.

At this moment, Rudy shrank his head. He seemed to see the flames spewing out of the red dragon's mouth, but after blinking, he found that it was just an illusion.

But the red dragon has already started roaring!
"Are you clapping to make fun of me?!"

Rudy was stunned. His encouraging teaching method was inspired by Sauros's praise just now. Hearing that Alice not only did not accept it but also retorted, he couldn't help but get angry. But the next moment, he immediately took a deep breath to curb his anger and spoke slowly and softly.

"No, it's inevitable that you will encounter some difficulties in the early stages of learning magic, but as long as you work hard."

"What?! Why do I need to learn magic?!"

Rudy covered his face helplessly.

Here we go again, the twisted logic that comes from a kid who doesn’t want to learn.

".Mastering magic may not mean much to a swordsman, but the process of learning magic itself can not only make your mind more flexible"

"I want to ask why! I want to learn! Magic! I don't want to ask! What can I do after learning magic!"

Rudy was stunned. He was confused by the question.

"Well, magic itself is very interesting, and performing magic will also give you a sense of accomplishment?"

"will not!"

"Well, aren't you interested in the Adventurer's Labyrinth? Perhaps after becoming an adventurer, you will also need magic..."

"I have a sword in my hand! Gileno doesn't know magic either! He's an adventurer too!"

Gilenu wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, she looked at the wet grass on the ground and scratched her head helplessly.

It seems like I have no right to make excuses.

Seeing Gileno's reaction, Alice's eyes lit up. She turned her finger and pointed at Alan, who looked a little solemn.

"Can Alan do magic?!"

Rudy was really confused after hearing this, because in his impression, Alan really had no intention of learning magic. Even with Roxy, who possessed the name of God, next to him, he was still wholeheartedly focused on swordsmanship.

I really don't know whether Allen can do magic.

Allen, who was suddenly called out, was also confused. Did he know magic? He couldn't do anything at all! If Alice and Gileno hadn't just recited it 53 times in a row, he would have even mispronounced a few words of the water ball technique.

What a joke.

Even the only shabby initial practice he did when he was a kid trying to increase his magic power was a blowing magic trick he read from the magic textbook, because this was the entry-level magic that was least likely to leave a trace. Although it did increase his magic power reserves a little bit afterwards, after using it up for the first time, he realized that he couldn't copy Rudy's way to increase his magic power.

Because the 'god-level' magic recovery ability after the magic power is used up is too touching, this will affect his practice of fighting spirit in his 'childhood'.

So he never studied it seriously and really couldn't do magic.

And just now, he also realized one thing from Alice's resistance to learning magic, that is, there was no big fireworks after being kidnapped in this round, and Alice really lacked the necessary motivation to learn magic.

Will it work if Rudy sets off the fireworks again?

No, in the original book, the meaning of fireworks to Alice is not just the magic itself. It was the experience of being kidnapped and facing a life-and-death crisis that made the "mark" of the exploding fireball deeply engraved in Alice's eyes.

Even if she performed it again, the beautiful visual effect would still not make up for the "hardship" of learning magic. How could she learn magic well?
Alan fell into thought.

While he was thinking about these things, Rudy finally couldn't stand it anymore and started to retort to the "rude and unreasonable young lady".

".Ai..Why do you care what Alan does? Alan can also perform secret techniques, can you? Please, I am your magic teacher, and I teach you to fulfill the instructions of Master Philip. Do you want to disobey your father's decision?"

"Huh? I won't learn! Gilenu doesn't even know it!"

"Kilenu is Kilenu! Kilenu doesn't need to know magic!"

"Eren doesn't know either! I don't need to know magic!"

Rudy's face twitched for a while, and the words came out from between his teeth.

"Alan doesn't know magic? Do you know what a genius is? Just because he hasn't used it, do you think he can't do it? He just doesn't bother to learn!"

"Huh? Gileno doesn't even know it! Why does Alan know magic! You are lying, you little dwarf!"

"Who is lying to you?"

"you!"

"Me! You! Who said Alan can't do magic!"

"I!"

"Hey! Alan can do magic!!" Thinking did not stop Alan from collecting information about the surrounding area. When he heard Rudy blurt out these words in a hurry, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

What is this?

This conversation immediately reminded him of the joke in his previous life about the naughty kid competing with his dad.

'My dad makes money!'

“My dad can fly!”

"Me! Me! My dad eats shit!"

Alan swallowed.

Damn, I really can't eat magic! Rudy, what the hell are you doing? How can you bring this up with me?!

He immediately raised his head and started to prove his innocence.

"I"

But before he could even finish his words, his face turned dull.

In sight.

Alice, Sylphy, Gileno, and Rudy all gave him questioning looks.

It's very 'scorching'!

Alan looked at the four people in surprise.

The system panel even joined in the fun, turning into smoke and dust that billowed out in front of his face.

[Currently in the stage of youth tutoring, cumulative participation score: 44 points. ]

[Only two days have passed since the tutoring period, and you have already left your "marks" in the eyes of Philip, Alice, Saulos, and Hilda.]

[It seems that there is no point in continuing to improve the engagement score at this point, but how can it be so inconvenient to improve the score? ]

[You have already planted the seeds of improving your tutoring grades in your childhood. When did Sylphy ever learn magic with Rudy Alice? ]

[The protagonists who met and knew each other in advance, were they not traces of your flapping wings? 】

[Instant mission has been released - the unemployed protagonist group formed in advance. ]

[Mission Background: Alice's reading, writing and arithmetic, which she was reluctant to learn, are progressing in an orderly manner, but the only thing she wanted to learn in the original plot, magic, has become a subject she hates.]

[Task requirements: Rekindle Alice's interest in magic. This is a good opportunity to deepen the connection between you, Rudy, Sylphy, and Alice. Please note that letting Alice learn magic is not the point, but deepening the connection between you.]

[Task Reward: Participation Score: 6 points. ]

[Mission, start! ]

[Countdown: 10 minutes. 】

The words jumped with joy, and Alan's eyes widened.

In the past two days, he has not paid attention to the scores at all, nor has he actively asked for tasks, because he knows that the tutoring period is still long and there is still time. The current inner "dilemma" is what he needs to think about more urgently.

As a result, the system popped up and gave the task on its own.

"Why didn't you come out to teach in the morning? You said a lot of seemingly serious things, but I think you showed up because you thought there was something fun to do, didn't you?"

【Nonsense, I am a serious person. 】

'You are a human?'

I am your God?

'roll. ’

【Oh. 】

The conversation was quick, the smoke dissipated, and Alan felt the gazes of the four people, and felt that he was in a difficult situation.

He really had no idea about this mission this time.

"That. Um."

"Ok."

He wanted to just say that he really didn't know any magic, but what if Alice simply gave up and refused to learn?
The magic power consumed by the intermediate attack magic such as water ball should be no problem. It is about one-third of the magic pattern of the intermediate healing magic, or even less. The magic itself is to mobilize the magic power in the body by chanting. As long as you are not too tense like Alice, releasing the water ball should be no problem.
Thinking of this, he faced the gazes of several people and walked over with gritted teeth.

He spread his hands and stretched them out in front of him, under the curious gaze of everyone.

Repeat the chant that Alice had repeated many times just now.

"May the great blessing of water descend upon the place you seek, and a refreshing shallow stream appear here - Water Ball Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Alan felt the magic power in his body being drawn away and gathered in the palm of his hand.

Then, he squeezed the water in the air into his palm, and instantly formed a water ball the size of a human head.

In everyone's wide eyes.

The bright light of the afternoon passes through the water ball, rolling in layers of colorful waves.

A smile appeared on Rudy's lips, and he was about to say something to Alice, who was staring at him with wide eyes.

next moment.

In his peripheral vision.

The condensed water ball fell upright into Alan's palm.

With a 'bang' it fell into a pool of water.

Rudy opened his mouth, looked at Alan, whose face was red with embarrassment, then looked at Gileno, who was blinking rapidly and looking at the grass under his feet, and finally turned his gaze to Alice.

The latter's mouth cracked into a brilliant smile, looking very proud.

"Look! Alan doesn't know how to do it! So I don't have to learn it!"

The voice is very loud.

Everyone was silent.

Alan took a difficult look at the water flowing on the ground, then turned to Rudy who was covering his face and spoke.

"After creating the water ball, do I still need to keep outputting magic power to exert influence?"

Rudy, who failed in his first attempt to rescue Alan Tinker Bell, replied weakly.

"Master Allen, you really don't know any magic. Is your talent only in swordsmanship?"

"."

"Is such that."

Alice watched the interaction between the two with great pleasure.

The fact that Alan didn't know magic didn't make her opinion of him decline at all. Instead, it made her feel more "identified" with him.

look!

Grandpa can't do magic! Gileno can't do magic! Alice can't do magic either!
Then Alan definitely doesn't know magic!
Of course he can’t!
Very good!
I don't need to learn magic anymore!

Thinking of this, Alice opened her mouth to give a victory speech.

The next moment, Sylphy came over from beside Allen and held her hand.

No, exactly.

It was she who grasped the hilt of the sword in Alice's hand.

Sylphy looked down at the sword in Alice's hand, a hint of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, and she smiled softly.

"I wanted to learn swordsmanship before, but I ended up studying magic."

These words made Alice stunned, and Rudy also turned his head to look at Sylphy.

He suddenly remembered that when he first met Sylphy two years ago, she was also wholeheartedly wanting to learn swordsmanship like Alice.

Not magic.
