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

"If you like someone, just confess directly. If you get rejected, force yourself on them. If you can't get them, secretly drug them."

"As a man of the Grerat family, it's perfectly reasonable for him to carry a few bottles of aphrodisiacs with him!"

Ars looked at the medicine bottle that Lala handed him.

He froze, completely petrified.

Side Story: The Tale of Ars (19)

Ars arrived at the dojo as usual the next day, and he arrived very early.

He didn't sleep much last night.

Firstly, because of what happened, it's impossible to explain it no matter how you look at it.

Secondly, there's Lala...

"So, where exactly did things go wrong?"

Ars stood at the entrance of the dojo, watching the bustling crowds pass by.

Even after Lala said those strange things, his mindset remained unchanged, because his father had said that as long as people can communicate smoothly with each other, 90% of the problems can be solved.

Therefore, he felt he should talk to Liz and make things clear.

But what should we say when we meet...?

Although I always believed that good communication could resolve past grievances, in the end I still didn't understand why Liz suddenly left...

"How should I put it..."

As Ars was deep in thought, he suddenly saw Liz walking towards him from afar.

“Ah, Liz…”

Ars immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Liz.

Just as he was about to speak, Liz suddenly glared at him.

Yarston was stunned.

It wasn't because Liz's eyes were particularly fierce, but because the corners of her eyes were clearly red and swollen.

Could it be that……

Did she cry all night?

By the time Ars came to his senses, Liz had already taken Lyca's hand and walked over.

She didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"..."

Ars's hard-won courage vanished in an instant, and he just stood there watching Liz walk further and further away until she disappeared into the depths of the dojo.

……

……

Leica sensed that something was wrong.

As for what exactly is wrong, there's no need to ask.

Just look at Liz's attitude towards Jars today, and her swollen eyes, and you'll understand.

"What exactly happened last night?" Leica asked cautiously.

"Nothing happened."

"really?"

"Do I need to lie to you?"

Liz's tone was unusually cold today, which was why Leica sensed something was wrong.

It looks like something really happened.

Although it's unclear what happened, it seems from the conclusion that Liz has developed a plan for Jars.

Leica didn't think it was a bad thing.

Rather, this could be considered a good thing.

"Lyca, go change your clothes?" Liz said.

"Ah, you go ahead, I have something to do."

"is it?"

"I'll be back soon."

Leica smiled, waved, and turned to disappear around the corner.

……

After Lyca left, Liz once again immersed herself in sword practice.

Liz knew that her mind was in turmoil.

The fact that Arles was a nobleman was like a nail driven into her heart, causing her so much pain that she almost rolled on the ground in agony.

If they had simply treated them like ordinary nobles, all that would have remained in their hearts would have been disgust.

But if the target is Ars...

Liz was unable to feel any aversion towards it.

This constant inner turmoil kept Liz awake all night.

But...it doesn't matter.

No matter how confused I feel, as long as I hold the sword, I can calm down completely, just like always.

"Shh-"

Liz wielded the sword with unparalleled skill.

That's it.

No matter what mood I'm in, it won't affect my sword-wielding.

“Great, Liz, you’re always in such great shape,” Warif exclaimed.

"Thank you, teacher."

"So, you should be able to participate in tomorrow's training camp, right?"

"Training camp?" Liz was taken aback.

The Water God Dojo holds a very high position in the capital of the Kingdom of Asura. It has an exceptionally large network of connections even among the nobles, and can even make direct deals with the royal family.

Once a year, they would rent a private forest not far from the capital for intensive training.

That's a training camp that only those who have reached at least the intermediate level of the Sword God style can participate in.

"Yes, are you coming?" Warif asked.

"Of course I want to go."

Liz couldn't possibly let go of an opportunity to become stronger.

"Then I'll register you."

"Yes."

Liz instantly perked up, even forgetting some of the unpleasantness from the previous night.

He is full of anticipation for tomorrow's training camp.

……

time flies.

As the sun was about to set, the students at the dojo began to leave one after another.

“Liz, aren’t you going back?” Wolf asked.

"um, I……"

Just as Liz was about to speak, she suddenly realized that she didn't need to stay up so late today.

After all, she could no longer go to see Jars.

Liz clenched her fist and said as calmly as possible, "I'll be right back. Teacher, you can go now."

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

Warif left quickly.

Liz turned her head and looked behind her, wondering why Liz hadn't come to find her to go home together today.

I suppose it's because I rejected her too many times that she figured I wouldn't be going back with her today, so she simply didn't ask.

In that case, I'll have to go back alone.

Liz was about to go back and pack her things when she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Liz? Are you on your way home?"

Liz didn't even need to turn her head to know who the voice belonged to.

Surrounded by a group of underlings, Boris strode over with his head held high and an unusually smug smile on his lips.

"Would you like to come along?" Boris extended his hand very gentlemanly, making an invitation.

“I’m not interested,” Liz said indifferently.

"Hey, don't be so cold. We don't have anything to do right now, so why don't we go out and have some fun together?" Boris said casually.

However, this nonchalant attitude only earned him Liz's mocking laughter.

“Boris, I’ve made myself perfectly clear—I’ll never have any interest in an incompetent nobleman like you, and as for the filthy thoughts in your head, they only make me want to vomit!”

Liz said without any mercy.
