Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 46 Luo Qixi's Criteria for Choosing a Partner

Luo Qixi turned to look at Allen.

The latter held the knife with both hands, gliding through the air in an extremely slow trajectory, finally bringing the tip of the knife to rest on the grass.

I wonder if it's just an illusion caused by the light and shadow.

Luo Qixi felt as if the blade was doubled in that instant.

Above the trembling double image, a few leaves drifted down in front of Allen and slowly fell.

Then it cracked.

"126!"

Under the soft, sweet voice of Xilufei, Luo Qixi stared at the tip of the knife and blinked.

"...Can such a slow slash really cut through a leaf falling in mid-air?"

Rudy looked at Loki's expression, scratched his head in frustration, and showed a helpless expression.

"Teacher, look more carefully, look carefully but don't look at the knife."

As Rudy spoke, Allen once again raised the blade above his head and, following the same trajectory, slowly slashed down with perfect precision.

From the top of the head, up to shoulder level, then down to the front of the abdomen, and finally hovering steadily on the grass stems dancing in the wind.

Rudy finished speaking.

"You need to look at his arm."

The blade once again became entangled with light and shadow.

Loki moved her gaze from the blade along the hilt to Allen's arm.

The shadows of the blades trembled, and at the same time, Allen's arm trembled slightly. His sleeve seemed to be pulled hard by an invisible person, suddenly bounced up, and then fell softly back onto his skin.

Luo Qixi raised her eyebrows, revealing a surprised expression.

"Could it be that when the blade touched the grass, Allen had already made another slash? That's amazing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the formidable Allen let out a heavy breath, his face turning deathly pale. He staggered over to Rudy and said to him.

"Any stock left? One more round."

Rudy:

Luo Qixi:

After an extremely rapid incantation, the healing spell's light shone again, and Allen immediately sprang to his feet, raising his sword and swinging it in the air once more.

Rudy sighed, rubbing his forehead, and turned to look at the somewhat dazed Loki, who then said blankly.

"I feel that Allen has the full potential of a top-tier adventurer."

"Wait, isn't Allen an adventurer by nature?"

Loki blinked, then realized that Allen had told her during their interrogation that only Paul and Senis in the Grellatt family currently knew his identity.

Thinking of this, Luo Qixi subconsciously tugged at the hair on her forehead, her eyes darting left and right.

"Ah, I meant S-rank adventurers. Allen's strength is much higher than his adventurer rank."

Rudy's mind began to wander when he saw Loki's appearance. He quickly glanced at Allen, who was focused on practicing his sword, and suppressed a lewd smile before speaking to Loki.

"By the way, teacher, you used to be an adventurer too. Did you ever meet a boy you liked?"

Luo Qixi's face froze for a moment, and she scratched her face, answering somewhat helplessly.

"Well, back in Milis, I was ostracized because of my hair color, which led to me being penniless for a time. Luckily, a fellow countryman took me in and I worked at a tavern. Later, I fell in love with him, and we even formed an adventurer team with another lady who had a great figure."

Rudy's face stiffened.

"Oh, and then what?"

Luo Qixi scratched her head in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered.

"And then they got together."

"Great! He's a god who's never been in love!"

Luo Qixi looked at Rudy, who had suddenly stood up, and her expression became even more awkward.

"I guess nobody would like my figure. It's like I'm a child."

Rudy, however, remained completely serious.

"I think that's precisely why teachers are more likable!"

Luo Qixi's lips twitched upon hearing this.

"I already said it would be more convincing to say this ten years from now. But... you might still be interested in my body type now, but things will probably change in the future."

Rudy said confidently.

"No way! I just like teachers!"

Half-closed eyes, a loli, an indifferent face. A perfect god!

"That's a lie."

Despite saying it was a lie, Luo Qixi clearly had a happy expression that couldn't help but be praised.

Just as Rudy was about to speak, Allen suddenly walked over, his face pale.

"One more time. Please."

A flash of green light appeared, and Allen stood up again. He thanked them while casually gossiping.

"Why are you so agitated? I think I just heard you say something like, 'I like this type of girl'? What were you talking about regarding relationships?"

"No, the teacher is insecure about her figure, I was just comforting her."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi lowered her head and drew circles on the ground.

"Just as I thought, it was just a comforting gesture TT."

Allen glanced at Loki.

"Since she's insecure about her body, don't try to comfort her with things about her body. Even if you're being sincere, she'll subconsciously think you're just trying to appease her."

At this point, Luo Qixi looked up at Allen, her pupils widening slightly. Light streamed through the gaps in the leaves, hitting her eyes and making the deep blue lake ripple with light.

Allen's gaze lingered on Loki's eyes for a moment before he turned away, his unfinished words drifting into their ears.

"Her eye color is so beautiful, you can compliment her eyes."

It seemed perfectly natural.

The sound of the blade vibrating through the air rose again, only making the crowd in the room even more silent.

Rudy swallowed hard, struggling to look away from Allen and instead gaze at Loki beside him.

The latter was pulling at her bangs, muttering to herself with a flushed face.

"What a glib tongue."

The sound was blown away by the wind before it could travel from in front of the two people.

Seeing this, Rudy remained silent for a moment, but gritted his teeth and decided to change the subject directly.

"By the way, if the teacher leaves in a few days, are you going to continue your adventure in the labyrinth near the Wanglong Mountains as planned?"

Loki glanced at Allen, who was brandishing his sword, and looked up at the sky.

"Yes, that's the plan."

Rudy tentatively replied upon hearing this.

"So, will the teacher stay in the Central Continent for the next ten years? Or..."

Luo Qixi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then hesitated.

"Speaking of which, there aren't many adventurers in the Central Continent who commission work to earn extra money. I'll probably travel and adventure to continue honing my magic skills, while also finding some tutoring jobs to make a living. Ten years is too long; I can't think that far ahead yet."

"I think so. Teacher can stay in the Central Continent. Maybe when I grow up in the future, I can become a member of Teacher's adventurer team."

"However, I suggest that Rudy go to a magic university to further his studies before considering becoming an adventurer."

Rudy smiled upon hearing this.

"Then it's settled. I'll go to the magic university to study first, and then form an adventurer team with my teachers!"

"You can say that after you graduate from magic university."

Rudy chuckled.

"But why are you so insistent on being an adventurer and going into dungeons, teacher? I think you could teach at a magic university. Maybe then you'd be the one teaching me magic!"

Luo Qixi rubbed her foot on the grass, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Being obsessed with being an adventurer... well, don't be like that. Looking at my physique, I also yearn for romance. Perhaps one day, a tall, masculine young man with a youthful expression will rescue me deep within a labyrinth. Then, we'll become adventurers who depend on each other, gradually developing feelings for each other, and then..."

Luo Qixi paused for a moment, then involuntarily turned to look at Allen beside her.

The blade swung down again.

"139!"

Not far away, Silphie's elven ears had been listening to Rudy and Loki's conversation, and now her expression turned serious as she looked at Allen.

Rudy was completely stunned. He stiffly turned his head to look at Allen, looking as if he was about to cry.

"Full of masculinity, tall, with a youthful expression, and a young adventurer. Look! There's a freshly minted perfect match for Loki's ideal partner! What a coincidence! Damn it! I shouldn't have agreed to let Paul become my swordsmanship teacher!"

The surroundings fell silent, with only the sword and the wind locked in combat.

Allen was about to continue swinging his knife when he suddenly sensed that everyone had quieted down, so he stopped and looked around at the three of them.

But he found that everyone was looking at him.

He paused for a moment, then asked.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"
