Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

……

In the end, Ars still chose to train at the Water God School's dojo.

As for the reason... there wasn't any special reason; I just chose a path that I was somewhat interested in.

However, this result made Alice very happy.

On the day he departed, everyone came to see him off.

"Yars."

Rudius patted Jars on the head and said with a smile, "Don't push yourself too hard when you get there. Just do what you want."

“Yes!” Jars nodded.

"If you are bullied, fight back bravely. If you can't beat them, call for help. If you still can't beat them, tell your mom and dad. We will always be your strong support," Rudeus said solemnly.

As a master of the "call for help" strategy, Rudeus seems to believe in the saying, "If you can't beat them, call for help."

Anyway, as long as everyone works together, there's no one we can't beat.

"Ugh..."

Ars stammered and did not respond.

To be honest, the tactic of calling for backup when you can't win is still too early for him.

Rudius didn't seem to care, and just smiled knowingly.

It's normal for young people to be arrogant, but one day they will understand the power of "people-attracting" tactics.

"Big brother, I'll be going there in two years too, so wait for me!" Zig said enthusiastically.

"must."

"Big brother, don't forget to say hello to Sister Lucy and Sister Lala."

"must."

"Waaaaah... I want to go with my older brother! I want to go with him!"

Lulia clung tightly to Ars's clothes, crying and screaming.

"Lullia, please stop."

"obedient."

"I don't care, I don't care! I don't want my brother to leave! Please, brother, stay!"

No matter what anyone said, Lulia wouldn't listen at all; she just kept hugging Ars's leg and crying.

Aisha tried to pull her down, but to no avail.

Everyone felt somewhat helpless.

"Don't worry, Lydia, it's not like I'm never coming back."

Ars smiled and patted her head: "I will come back to see you often. Besides, after you turn 12, you can come to the capital to see me. Then we can see each other every day, right?"

"But...but..."

"Okay, stop being so cutesy."

After being persuaded by Ars, Lulia reluctantly let go of Ars.

Finally, wiping away her tears, she watched as Ars mounted Mother Red's horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.

……

If they were to travel to the capital through normal means, it would take ten to fifteen days, even if they went at full speed. However, their family possessed a special method of transportation.

Transfer magic circle!

In every corner of the world, there are teleportation magic circles created by Dad and Lord Alsterd together. By using these magic circles, one can travel to any corner of the world.

It is said that Lala was away from home for a long time before, and was also traveling with Lord Alsterd.

Wow, Lala is amazing...

Ars always felt that among his siblings, his father clearly trusted Lala more.

When Lala was very young, I was able to let her ride Leo out by herself without worry, while Lucy was still too afraid to leave the yard at that time.

Just then, Red Mother's voice came from the side.

"Yars, we've arrived."

Ars suddenly came to his senses.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at our destination.

What appeared before them was a solemn and prosperous-looking temple.

He had been here many times.

However, this time is different from before.

This time, he will be coming as an apprentice.

“Yars, I’ll leave you here,” Alice said.

"Huh?"

Ars paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Isn't Mom coming in with me?"

"There's no need for that. In fact, it's better not to do it at all."

Alice reached out and patted Ars's shoulder hard.

"Before that, I have something else to tell you. Unless it's absolutely necessary, you must never use the techniques of the Sword God Style."

"Why?" Jars blurted out instinctively.

He has been learning the techniques of the Sword God style since he was a child.

Although she had shown interest in the Water God style, Alice rejected her every time with the excuse that "it's not the right time yet."

“Sword God Style and Water God Style are two completely different sword techniques.” Alice said in a very serious tone, “Your Sword God Style is currently at the Saint level. You cannot use Sword God Style until your Water God Style reaches the Saint level.”

"This is very important, remember that?"

“…I understand.” Jars nodded.

Alice's expression relaxed slightly as she explained, "I didn't teach you the Water God Style in the past because Leda's Water God Style is stronger than mine, so it's better for her to guide you."

"Yars, I want you to become stronger."

"Only by becoming strong enough can you protect the people you cherish, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yars couldn't help but picture Lulia's smiling face, followed by his father, mother, and brothers and sisters.

"I understand."

Ars nodded solemnly.

Side Story: The Tale of Ars (4)

There are three schools of swordsmanship in this world.

Of course, this does not mean that there are only three schools of thought, but rather that these three schools are the most widely spread and have the greatest influence in the world.

Sword God Style, Water God Style, and North God Style.

The Water God School originated from the Second Human-Demon War.

Both the Sword God Style and the Northern God Style are sword styles that emerged during the Laplace Campaign.

The first Sword God was renowned for his astonishing slashing speed, while the Northern God Style was known for...

The most widely spread swordsmanship school in the world today is the Kitakami-ryu.

Because the Kitakami-ryu school doesn't insist on using swords and has tricks for fighting even when injured, it is very popular among adventurers.

However, the founder of the most widely spread Northern God School, the First Northern God, was once defeated by the First Sword God.

This occurred during the Battle of Laplace.

The first Northern God was the leader of the human race.

This point was the subject of serious discussion regarding the stance of the first Sword God, but ultimately came to nothing.

Closer to home.

In ancient times, the Water God School established a dojo called "Sacred Land of Swords" in the north of the Central Continent, making it the end point of the Water God School, and thus it became widely known.

However, after the rise of the Sword God style, the first Sword God challenged the current Water God of the Holy Land of Swords and won the battle.

From then on, the Water God School and the Sword God School began an endless feud and entanglement.

Each generation of the Water God and the Sword God must compete once. The loser will leave for distant lands, while the winner can use the Holy Land of Swords as his training ground.

The result of the contest between the Water God and the Sword God in this generation is as follows:

Sword God Style wins.

As the God of Swords, Garr occupied the Holy Land of Swords, and his immense power brought the development of the Sword God style to near its peak.

On the other hand.

As a defeated water god, he came to the Asura Kingdom, the most popular kingdom of the water god faction.

He took over the Water God Style Dojo in the Kingdom of Asura and used it as a base to spread the Water God Style.

Many years have passed.

Before anyone knew it, a rumor began to circulate.

The sword god Gar, who once defeated the contemporary water god, died because he challenged an opponent who was too powerful, and the position of sword god has changed hands.

In other words, it's about time for the two gods to clash again.

This contest will determine the ownership of the Holy Land of Swords.

Who can truly represent the strongest swordsmanship style?
