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

Comparing yourself to others can really make you angry.

“Ahem, Ars, the important thing is not to compare yourself with others, but to do better than you did yesterday every day, do you understand?” Rudeus said seriously.

Ars nodded blankly.

……

……

After lunch, Ars packed his luggage and prepared to return to the capital.

Luria held onto Ars's hand reluctantly, not wanting to let go.

Ars repeatedly assured her that he would come back often, which calmed her down.

"Big brother, please don't mess around with other women!" Lulia said reluctantly.

Ars was ashamed.

He turned his head and looked around, and found that there was still one figure who hadn't come to see him off.

"Where's Lily? Where did she go?"

"She's still the same as always, hiding in her room, I don't know what she's studying."

"That's it, then forget it."

Ars was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't say much.

It's good to have things you're interested in.

Rudius suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, I've finally come back, take this with you."

As he spoke, he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Jars.

It was a small box with a rather unique design.

"What is this?" Jars was taken aback.

"Well... how should I put it? Although I also want to have a grandchild soon, the other person is not very old. Getting pregnant too young is not good for their health, so we should pay attention to this aspect," Rudeus said.

Ars was stunned for a while, then his face turned red in an instant.

"Use it with confidence, this is a special edition for nobles, it's very popular in Asura!" Rudeus said with a smile.

"I, I know..."

"What do you know?" Lulia tilted her head.

Ars pretended not to hear.

……

……

After returning to the capital, Ars threw all his luggage into the closet and collapsed onto the bed.

I don't know why, but I always feel...

I felt even more tired after going home.

but……

Ars took the box his father had given him out of his pocket.

The box is marked with the "Grelat" label, symbolizing that this is a special item that only a very few nobles can obtain. If it were put on the black market, it could probably sell for more than one Asura gold coin.

Who knows, there might actually be a time when it comes in handy?

Ars carefully placed the box into the drawer.

Side Story: The Tale of Ars (15)

The moon hangs high in the sky.

Liz stopped practicing, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked up at the sky.

It was already late at night before I knew it.

"It's time to go home..."

Liz murmured to herself.

She was about to turn around to pack her things when she suddenly noticed someone watching her from the corner.

Liz felt a chill run down her spine.

But she soon discovered that the figure standing in the corner was none other than Ars, whom she hadn't seen for several days.

“Yars, you’re back!” Liz blurted out instinctively.

"Ah."

Ars walked out with a smile.

He returned around this afternoon.

He could have come to the dojo tomorrow, but he was hoping to see Liz sooner...

And so it came.

And sure enough, I met Liz here.

"Go back?" Jars asked.

Liz nodded slightly: "Um... wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."

"Ok."

……

Five minutes later, Liz returned, having changed her clothes.

She walked gently to Ars and smiled slightly at him.

Ars was somewhat stunned.

The moonlight bathed Liz's face, making her appear serene and elegant. Her slightly flushed cheeks were like the most dazzling color in the deep night. Especially the smile on her lips, so tranquil and pure, was truly captivating.

Looking at Liz in front of him, Ars really had an urge to grab Liz's hand and say something.

But he ultimately managed to restrain himself.

“Let’s go,” Jars said.

"Ah."

Liz nodded slightly and followed Ars out of the dojo.

The two walked along the familiar path.

"Speaking of which, isn't your home in Sharia? How come you were able to make a round trip in just two days?"

Liz was somewhat puzzled.

The capital of the Kingdom of Asura is located in the west of the central continent, while Sharia is located in the north.

The distance between the two is extremely far; even traveling day and night, it would take at least a month to reach them.

It's absurd that Yars made the round trip in just two days.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

Either Yars has a special way of moving.

Either...

Yars is lying.

But why would he lie to himself?

Liz didn't understand.

But in her eyes, what was most attractive about Yars was his sincerity and gentleness.

If he lied to her, she might be sad, or... she might not like Ars as much anymore.

"Well..."

Ars scratched his head.

My father instructed me not to disclose the matter of the magic circle to outsiders.

In this vast and sparsely populated area, where communication between two places often takes a year or more, if teleportation magic arrays were to become widespread, it would undoubtedly impact all walks of life and could even cause mass unemployment.

Therefore, the teleportation magic circle has not yet been made public, and only a few people can use it.

If anyone were to ask about this, Rudius had already explained how to answer it.

"Actually, my father has a good relationship with the higher-ups in Paul's mercenary group."

"Paul's Mercenary Group!"

Liz gasped in surprise.

In the Kingdom of Asura, the name Paul's Mercenary Group is known to everyone.

It was founded just over ten years ago.

Its development speed is astonishing.

Its members are powerful and have exceptionally strong financial backing.

More importantly, Paul's mercenary group seems to have an official background, with the royal family of the Kingdom of Asura backing them.

Now, it has become the largest mercenary group in the entire Kingdom of Asura, and it undertakes countless commissions from the royal family every year.

They are also said to have mastered a special method of movement that allows them to traverse extremely long distances in a short time.

If it's Paul's mercenary group...

Not surprising then.

Liz was quite shocked by this; it was truly remarkable that someone could connect with the higher-ups of Paul's mercenary group.
