Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Just as I was about to praise her abilities, the witch spoke first.

"Master Genius... he's really amazing..."

"I'm nothing special... Compared to true geniuses, I'm just mediocre..."

As he spoke, the man gave the king and the witch a disrespectful look before turning his head away and continuing to speak.

"However... whether that conjecture is a talent or an isolated case of this race, or the overall situation of the Demon Continent, still needs further investigation and research."

Furthermore, whether magic can affect individuals and the environment is impossible to ascertain in the short term, so I only intend to make a few notes during this time before leaving.

That's what he said, but he looked rather forlorn...

Is he thinking about women?

"Why not stay?"

"I did have that thought, but I decided against it."

Why?

This time, the witch asked the question even more urgently than I did...

"I have no intention of staying in this lousy place forever. Besides, that headmaster doesn't have many years left to live. I've gained a lot from this trip to the Demon Continent. I'm waiting for him to die so I can go back and take over as the new headmaster."

"Pfft~" x2

Unexpectedly, this serious fellow is quite humorous, which made both the king and the witch break down for a moment.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, then continued speaking.

"Furthermore... schools are places that teach [truth], and [truth] is constantly changing, so some courses at the magic university do need to be revised, not just in terms of magic techniques, but especially those related to demons. The previous [truth] was too wrong."

Many of the students at the magic university are part of the future [truth] of this world, and as their teacher, it is my responsibility.

So I plan to prepare some updated teaching materials on my way back.

"And what about her?"

As I spoke, I glanced in the direction of Sister Le's house, and Genius looked in the same direction...

"She... is just a responsibility I owe to my benefactor... Many things are more important than personal feelings..."

After he finished speaking, he looked away and turned his gaze back to the dying campfire.

But the firelight was too dim for me to see his expression clearly...

......

This guy... is really something...

He's a true Sigma man...

In comparison... it even makes one feel guilty...

"Was it... my words that made you decide to do this?"

"No, this is exactly what I was thinking. The theories you mentioned before only made it clearer to me what I was doing..."

Yes, he was planning to leave before I even said those words...

That's really... impressive...

I don't want to say anything more to him...

He probably meant the same thing, so he decided to get up and leave.

Then the witch spoke.

"Um... I'm sorry... Master Genius... it was me before—"

But he interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

"No need to apologize. I was wrong too. I was too proud and arrogant, and I said those hurtful things..."

"I said that back then... and... Master, you're clearly so amazing..."

"I'm not good at all..."

After saying that, this guy looked at me again. Honestly, what did I do to you?

He must have understood what I meant, which is why he spoke up.

"I was also in Roya City when the meeting was held to address the magic disaster."

what?

Is that true?

I really can't remember...

And he caught my expression again...

"You... you really didn't take me seriously from the start, and you still didn't recognize me today, did you?"

"No, of course I remember you. It's just that you looked a little unfamiliar at first because you changed your clothes and hairstyle..."

"Then what do you remember about me?"

"I remember you helped me move books..."

"You really have the nerve to say that..."

"I'm sorry, I will remember you..."

"That would be my honor."

"Yes, it is indeed your honor."

"What a shameless guy."

"RUA~"

The shameless emperor stuck out his tongue.

"However... it's understandable that you didn't remember me back then... after all, I couldn't help at all, I could only stand aside and watch you, Lord Ankylosaurus, and the other scholars discuss various countermeasures."

"Did that hit you hard?"

"Of course it was a blow, but it also made me realize some things."

"What is it...?"

"At that time, I not only realized my own shortcomings, but also discovered how amazing humans are. Even though it was a situation that resembled a natural disaster, humans were able to try to overcome such an existence with their wisdom. That's why I finally wanted to witness the outcome of that magical disaster with my own eyes. Although I was affected by it, it wasn't all bad."

"Human wisdom? Indeed... At the time, I only proposed a general idea, and the rest was perfected by many scholars whose names I can't recall..."

"That's right, and that's why I realized how great my work is, which is why I want to go back to the magic university to continue my work."

Ugh......

Returning to the magic university from the Demon Continent...

This basically involves traversing the entire world...

Unfortunately, it wasn't on our way...

He'll be staying here for a while longer; I need to go find Senis...

We'll be leaving early tomorrow morning; this will probably be the last time we see each other for a while.

"come on......"

After saying that, the king turned over and stopped looking at him, while the witch also began to say goodbye to him.

"It's been a dangerous journey... Master Genius, you..."

"You don't need to worry about me. I'm very tough, and... if a little girl can do it, there's no reason why I can't."

"Master, couldn't you at least say goodbye properly?"

"Who is your master? Who did you say goodbye to? You, Rosie? Are we even acquainted?"

"I......!"

Luo Qixi instantly began to lock her throat on the king's lap!

"Alas... what a pity. My most prized disciple, Luo Qixi, turned out to be a runaway girl. Now she's even had her leg broken by her parents and can only stay in her hometown. What a pity, what a pity~~~"

The arrogant old man, Jinas, walked with his hands behind his back, sighing earnestly as he went, making me, the king, feel utterly bewildered.

I accidentally burst out laughing.

The witch was furious and grabbed my face with both hands, trying to tear my filthy mouth apart.
