The journey of anime from Re:Zero (job)
Chapter 1: The Dimensional Stowaway and the Lone Brave Man
Su Bai, an eighteen-year-old boy from China, just finished his college entrance examination and is staying up late to watch anime in anticipation of the admission letter.
When Su Bai finally couldn’t bear the deep sleepiness caused by staying up late to watch anime and fell into a deep sleep, when he opened his eyes again, he saw a vast white unknown world in front of him.
He looked around in confusion, and could only see a grayish white mist, which was hazy and blurry and difficult to see clearly.
He tried to take a step, and when his feet touched the white world, ripples appeared in the white world.
Su Bai frowned, secretly speculating that he might have died suddenly from staying up late to watch anime.
Is this heaven or hell?
What should he do now?
Su Bai looked confused and looked around bewilderedly.
Then he noticed a ball of light hidden beneath the white world.
The ball of light is hidden deep inside. Who could have expected that such a sphere is hidden under the seemingly monotonous whiteness?
The light ball emits a soft blue light, which is neither dazzling nor mysterious.
Su Bai had a vague guess in his mind that this was most likely the legendary light ball of the main god, right?
Out of curiosity, he tried to move forward, wanting to get closer to the ball of light.
Gradually, the distance between Su Bai and the white light ball began to shorten.
Soon, he came in front of the ball of light.
Su Bai stretched out his finger and tried to touch the mysterious ball of light.
At this moment, a cold reminder sound echoed in his mind.
“The system is loading…”
“Scan the host’s identity…determined to be a dimensional stowaway…”
“Due to interference from unknown factors, the scan failed…”
“Try again, please wait…”
“Scan failed…”
“Begin to bind the host…”
“Bind failed…”
“Try to bind the host again…”
This cold electronic synthesized sound kept repeating in Su Bai’s mind, like a tape recorder, almost hundreds of times.
Just when Su Bai felt a little sleepy and yawned, the cold electronic sound finally changed.
“Identify the player as a dimensional stowaway…”
“Begin to eliminate…”
Su Bai suddenly woke up, and the world began to turn upside down and shatter. In the shattered world, a huge eye slowly opened. In his eyes, the emotions seemed to be drained away, leaving only a silent gaze at Su Bai.
At the same time, from behind the ferocious eyeballs, bursts of sad crying and wailing could be heard intermittently.
Su Bai looked into the huge eyes, and he blinked unconsciously, with a strong palpitation suddenly rushing into his heart. However, the expected pain did not come, nor did the sudden death, but was replaced by a deep tranquility.
After examining Su Bai for a moment, those eyes finally closed slowly.
“Eliminate failure.”
The originally cold voice of the system seemed to be mixed with a subtle fluctuation.
Su Bai blinked, and the corners of his mouth curled up as if he wanted to smile, but for some reason he couldn’t.
What he feared most was that the air would suddenly become quiet and silent, filling the air between the two. Both Su Bai and the system fell into deep silence.
Finally, that cold voice echoed in Su Bai’s mind again.
“System activation successful.”
“Your number is 0.”
“Attention, you have been classified as a user who is refused to be contacted by the Lord God. [Note from the Lord God: I didn’t invite you, but you sneaked in, you bastard, I don’t have any face, and I failed to be excluded, I OO you XX, I Fuck you… (1000 words omitted below.)”
“Your current permissions are @￥%.”
“The host has been detected to be in a soul state, and has begun searching the world for you.”
“Search successful.”
“Your initial talent is S-level God-killing Body (first stage).”
“Introduction: You have deceived the Lord God, and even the entire world, and sneaked into the God’s Realm without anyone noticing. Your soul has been baptized by the God’s Realm. Host, you will fight. As long as you are still yourself, you will definitely become a God-killer! May the will of freedom be with you forever!”
“Effect: The initial talent has reached the upper limit, and the authority is EX.”
“This reincarnation will provide you with two opportunities to extract talents.”
“Note: The probability of extracting A-level talents is 0.01%, B-level is 1%, C-level is 10%, D-level is 20%, and E-level is 68.99%.”
“But your authority is EX, so you will definitely get one A-level and one B-level talent this time.”
“A-level talent is Lone Hero (Phase 1).”
“Introduction: They say that you need to bring light to tame every monster. They say that they need to sew up your wounds. No one loves clowns, so why can’t loneliness be glorious? You come from the wilderness, and you will never borrow anyone’s light in your life. You will build your city-state on the ruins!”
[Effect: The upper limit of spiritual power is significantly increased][B-level talent is Berserker][Effect: Greatly increases the rate of gaining combat experience][The portal has been activated for you]A large amount of information instantly flooded into Su Bai’s mind. Before he had time to carefully digest the content conveyed by the system, everything in front of him was dark and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Su Bai felt as if his consciousness was constantly being pulled by an invisible force, as if someone was manipulating him roughly.
When he finally broke free from his trance and opened his eyes with difficulty, a handsome face that suddenly approached scared him so much that he trembled violently.
Almost instinctively, Su Bai punched the face without hesitation.
The blond handsome guy screamed and rolled over on the ground in pain, covering his eyes. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Su Bai began to carefully look at the young man struggling on the ground. He was tall and straight, handsome, with short golden hair shining, and deep blue eyes sparkling. His muscles were well-defined, but not too bloated. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, neat and capable.
At this moment, Su Bai seemed to have made a small mistake.
When Su Bai came back to his senses, he blinked innocently, as if he wanted to say, “You came here by yourself.”
At this time, a gentle female voice sounded beside him: “Paul, are you okay?”
Paul covered his eyes weakly and replied, “It’s okay, it’s okay. It seems that our child is really full of energy.”
Paul struggled to stand up, looking at Su Bai through his fingers with his red and swollen eyes, and a slightly distorted smile appeared on his handsome face.
Su Bai looked at his face again and finally recognized him – Paul Graylat.
Then, his eyes fell on the young blonde girl lying on the bed. She had a similar appearance to Tsunade, with smooth blonde hair cascading down to her waist, a delicate face, distinct facial features, and a hint of fatigue in her green eyes. She was tall and slender, with an elegant posture, exuding a noble and elegant temperament. She was undoubtedly Senis Greyrat.
Su Bai stretched out his slightly tender little hand, felt the slightly thin body, and suddenly it dawned on him: he had been reincarnated.
However, he still felt a little confused. What on earth was this? Did he travel through time and space to become Rudeus?
But Paul’s next words dispelled his doubts: “Then I’ll call you Noel Greyrat!”
This is what Paul said.
So, Su Bai, oh no, from now on, he will be Noel Greyrat.
Noel blinked and looked at Paul, who was obviously still a young man. His handsome face still had a bit of childishness. Paul’s eyebrows were slightly raised, his green eyes were shining with a sharp light, and the corners of his mouth were hung with a proud smile that was unique to young people.
Noel looked around and his sight fell on a red-haired girl next to him. She was wearing glasses. It was Paul’s junior sister Lilia, who was currently serving as a maid in Paul’s home.
Lilya was concentrating on gazing at the baby in her arms. The baby’s chubby face was very cute, and the sparse yellow hair on his head danced lightly in the wind. What was particularly eye-catching was his pair of golden eyes, pure and clear, like a deep spring, which also made Lilya feel a little strange.
Almost instinctively, Lilia felt that the baby in front of her was a little unusual. Noel’s eyes met Lilia’s, and those golden eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, bringing warmth and comfort, making Lilia blink. For some reason, she didn’t feel disgusted with the baby at all.
Noel looked away and looked around again, and found that there was no one in the house except the four of them. He muttered to himself: Could it be that I didn’t travel through time and space to become Rudius? And looking at the current situation, it seems that I traveled through time and space to an era earlier than Rudius was born? What on earth is going on?
The couple didn’t care about the unusual calmness of their newborn. Paul carefully picked up Noel, walked to Senice, and gently placed him in her arms. Senice’s beautiful face bloomed with a gentle smile, and her beauty moved Noel. However, he secretly sighed in his heart: Such a beautiful woman, but…
Paul stroked Noel’s chubby cheek and said with a smile, “It’s time to call mommy!” Noel was slightly stunned, then tried to speak, but only uttered a few babbling sounds.
Paul and Senice exchanged a smile full of relief.
…
Time flies, and two years have passed in a flash. A two-year-old child with blond hair and golden eyes is sleeping peacefully in his own little world. Amazingly, his hair grows at an amazing speed, and at the age of two, it has already reached his waist.
Noel looked at himself in the mirror and couldn’t help but sigh. In the mirror was a cute little boy with golden eyes, a handsome face, long hair, and a figure wearing the same clothes as him. Whenever Noel smiled or turned his head, the little boy in the mirror would make corresponding movements.
Although Noel’s room is not big, it has all the necessary facilities. On the desk is a thick magic book, which he asked for from Senis. When he was just born, Paul and Senis were full of curiosity and love for him, but soon after, they were immersed in their own world and put Noel aside for the time being. Noel couldn’t help but sigh: “Children, are they just an accessory to love after all?”
At this moment, Noel curled up in the bed, feeling the warmth brought by the quilt, and muttered to himself: “Although I look like a little boy now, I am a real macho man in my heart!”
He silently clicked the floating icon in the lower right corner of his vision, and a transparent panel appeared in front of him. The panel was simple and clear, with only three functional options: [Character Attributes], [World Exploration], and [System Mall]. However, all the items in the system mall were grayish white, and it was obvious that he could not buy them yet. The Lord God was obviously furious, and even the privilege of shopping was taken away.
The only thing that comforted him a little was that when he was reincarnated, he cleverly made a lot of money from the system.
He browsed through the various and dazzling products on the system interface, and immediately spotted his “Lone Hero” talent in the third column of the homepage.
And its price tag is: 100 million points, plus 3 S-level purchasing privileges.
Then, he caught a glimpse of another B-level talent, “Berserker”, which was equally priced.
It requires a full 1,000,000 points and 2 A-level purchasing permissions.
Although he had no clear idea of ​​the value of points and purchasing rights, when he thought of the greedy faces of capitalists, he couldn’t help but speculate that this might be an astronomical figure that a system worker would never be able to achieve in his entire life.
Therefore, he was undoubtedly very lucky this time, and he got so much wool from the system that the system was bleeding.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 3: The Gifted Noel (Old Version)
Pulling back the curtain of the personal attribute interface, the transparent screen clearly reflects the following information:
[Characters: Noel Greyrat]Age: 2 years old
[Strength: G]Agility: G
[Durability (Stamina): G]Intelligence: D
[Innate abilities: God-killing body (primary stage), Lone hero (primary stage), Berserker][Skills: Intermediate magic theory, swordsmanship (not yet started)][Overall evaluation: You have amazing potential for growth, but currently, apart from your magical talent, you are still immature and have no strengths.]Noel touched the “World Exploration” interface, and a line of glimmering text came into view:
[Space-time power reserve: 50/100 (not yet qualified to explore the world)]Among them, the most critical mechanism is “world exploration”. According to the system, it will separate a wisp of Noel’s soul and travel to another world as a secret traveler.
Once he completes the assigned mission in that alien world or profoundly affects the trajectory of the world, the system will be able to steal the original power of that world and feed it back to itself. His outstanding performance will accelerate the start of a new world exploration journey.
In the main god space, the system rewards its followers with points and redemption rights.
As for Noel, he has the privilege of reclaiming fragments of his own soul, and depending on the situation, he can draw some alien power from his otherworldly self.
As for the specific operational details, Noel is still unaware, after all, he has not yet started his first journey of world exploration.
The power of time and space accumulated slowly in a natural state, but its growth rate was so slow that it was shocking. In two years, it was less than a hundred years.
In this world, magic is divided into three major areas: healing, attack, and summoning. The levels range from elementary to god-level. The methods of performing magic include chanting and magic arrays. Masters of attack magic can be awarded the title of Saint-level or even Emperor-level magician.
As for swordsmanship, there are three major schools: Sword God School, Water God School, and Northern God School, each leading the way. The founder of a school is usually honored as a god, and the suffix of his name is the name of the school.
The hierarchy is divided into seven levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, saint, king, emperor, up to the highest level of god.
Although Noel has a very high talent in the field of magic, due to the limitations of books, Noel’s magic skills only remain at the intermediate stage.
Magic, this wonderful existence, has amazing plasticity. It guides the magic power in the body and transforms it into various powers through specific spells. These powers can be natural elements such as wind, fire, water, and earth, or sacred healing light.
In short, mana is the source of magic, just as a car’s engine is its power.
Noel’s talent is so extraordinary that it is difficult to describe it with the word “evil”. He has a photographic memory and can learn everything he learns. As early as two months old, he learned to walk; at four months old, he could speak simple words; at six months old, he read magic books on his own, which surprised Lilia and delighted Paul and his wife.
All in all, Noel is a person with amazing learning talent. However, this slightly immature face is always expressionless for some reason. It’s not that Noel lacks emotions in his heart, on the contrary, he has a lot of inner drama. But for some reason, his face always looks calm and gives people a sense of indifference. Sometimes, he is obviously very happy, but there is always a sneer on the corner of his mouth, which makes Paul and his wife mistakenly think that they have done something wrong. But after getting along for a long time, they found that this is actually his way of expressing happiness, not a real sneer.
This blond, golden-eyed, expressionless boy’s face is extremely lethal. Although Noel showed his precocious side very early and did many things independently, the slow-witted Paul couple never doubted their son, but were proud of his talent.
Noel did not let the “foolish” Paul couple worry about him. At this stage, he was focusing on magic training. By releasing magic and consuming magic, his body’s magic capacity was gradually increased. And Noel’s body’s capacity for magic was unexpectedly huge. When he first learned magic, although he was an absolute rookie, he had to perform several intermediate magics to drain the magic potential in his body.
However, as the magic container in his body expanded, intermediate magic gradually failed to meet his growing consumption needs.
So he began to explore and try new things in a wild and imaginative way.
At this moment, he was experimenting with an unprecedented spell and named it “Magic Sword”.
Everyone’s magic power is unique and has different characteristics, so the amount of magic required to transform it into magic is also different.
In short, there are qualitative differences between magic powers.
Noel was surprised to find that the quality of his magic power was exceptional, but there was something weird about this excellence.
Logically speaking, magic power cannot exist on its own; it can only serve as fuel to release magic.
But Noel’s magic is different. It can appear in the form of pure magic, and has amazing destructive power and plasticity.
However, although appearing in magic form can greatly increase the lethality, the consumption will also increase sharply.
The magic sword is a unique spell he developed based on his own magical properties.
Noel turned his wrist slightly, and a pitch-black dagger instantly appeared in his slender white hand.
This dagger is completely condensed from Noel’s dark magic. Its surface is covered with strange black lines and exudes a terrifying destructive power.
If measured by the magic standards of this world, the power of the complete magic sword is enough to be ranked among the king-level spells.
Advanced magic often requires more time to prepare, and the triggering conditions are more stringent, so the caster’s preparation time is naturally longer.
Although there are instantaneous magic like Rudeus, it is limited to low-level magic. The casting of high-level magic still requires reciting lengthy spells.
In addition, the casting of magic is also affected by the surrounding environment.
But the magic sword is different, it can be cast instantly.
As long as there is enough magic power, it can theoretically raze a town to the ground in an instant, turning everything into nothing, demonstrating extreme destructive power.
After Noel played with the magic sword in his hand for about an hour… the magic power in his body was finally completely exhausted. Although his strong willpower prevented him from falling into a coma, he just yawned lazily and felt a little mentally exhausted.
He sighed and slowly walked towards the door.
In the living room, the graceful maid Lilia was busy with housework. Paul had been accompanying Senis lately, and Senis’s health was obviously not good, indicating that a new life would be born soon. It was undoubtedly a difficult task for Lilia to take care of such a large family alone.
Turn on lazy reading mode
Chapter 4: The Birth of Rudeus (Old Version)
Since there’s no point in just sitting there doing nothing, and since my body isn’t yet strong enough to wield a sword, and there’s nothing else I can do except cast some magic once in a while to amuse myself, why not take this opportunity to improve the maid’s favorability?
Noel yawned, snatched the rag from Lilia, and started wiping the stains on the table himself.
Looking at the two-year-old child in front of her who was both kind and arrogant, Lilia felt mixed emotions.
This child is completely different from Paul.
She had thought that Paul’s children would inherit some of his romantic habits, but the child in front of her was meticulous in his actions and always considered others inadvertently.
Ever since Noelle learned to walk, he has always helped her inadvertently.
He wiped the table with great effort, turned to look at Lilya and asked, “Lilya, how did you and father know each other?”
Lilia was silent for a while, her soft golden hair gently fell on Noel’s shoulders as he moved. The unique childlike fragrance emanating from him was like the scent of an unknown flower, fresh and elegant, refreshing and pleasant.
“Probably when I was learning swordsmanship. I was his junior sister at that time.” Lilia answered. Whenever she talked about Paul, her expression was always complicated and difficult to read.
Noel pretended to be mature and said, “That’s true. Paul is always a worry for me.”
Lilia glanced at the disrespectful Noel. Although the child always addressed Paul as “Father”, he addressed him by his name in private.
Although this was disrespectful, Lilia could sense that he meant no harm. She picked up another rag, skillfully dipped it into the bucket, and prepared to start mopping the floor.
Seeing that Lilia had no intention of continuing the conversation, Noel spoke again: “Do you think it will be a boy or a girl this time?”
Lilia thought for a moment and replied, “I hope it’s a girl, so I can have both a son and a daughter.”
After that, the two fell into silence again. After everything in the living room was tidied up, Noel wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, waved to Lilia, and returned to the room again.
He lazily lay on the bed and began to think about how to face Rudeus.
Time flies, and it is autumn in the blink of an eye.
This season is breathtakingly beautiful, with the blue sky and white clouds complementing each other, the breeze gently blowing the golden rice ears, and bringing bursts of nameless flower fragrance.
The sun was shining and everything looked beautiful. Today was undoubtedly a day worth celebrating because Senis had given birth again. As expected, it was another little blond. Noel took a closer look and saw that the little baby with a big head and a chubby body looked around blankly, with the same expression as when he first came into this world.
Although Paul and his wife were generous and generous, they also noticed something strange. Paul and Senis fell silent, wondering why two children in a row were so similar. If Noel knew what they were thinking, he would tell them that both of your sons were reincarnated.
However, the joy of the child’s safe birth diluted the slight uneasiness.
Paul happily put his face close to the baby, but thinking of the experience two years ago, he stepped back unconsciously. He stared at the baby in the cradle with wide eyes, and the green eyes were shining.
Paul assured Senis that the child was in excellent health. Then, he gently handed Rudeus into Senis’s arms, with a warm light in his eyes.
Noel, who was standing nearby, witnessed this heartwarming scene, and his handsome eyebrows couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Rudius Greyrat, the protagonist of the original novel, had a life that was far from smooth despite his glory. He was a typical stay-at-home in his previous life, and after traveling through time, he was still trapped in the manipulation of humans and gods, which made Noel have a bad impression of him.
Rudeus does have a bit of cowardice in his character, but he gradually overcomes his flaws. However, this does not improve Noel’s bad impression of him. The novel “Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World” truly depicts the imperfections of human nature. Even if you travel to another world, you cannot avoid the existence of regrets.
Noel was not fully immersed in the novel, having only read two parts of it, and was not very familiar with the subsequent plot. But now that he had come into this world and became Rudius’s older brother, he decided to give Rudius a better ending.
A series of words emerged in his mind: transfer event, Demon Continent, Human God, Dragon God… These thoughts made Noel frown more and more. Logically, he should fight against the Human God, join hands with the Dragon God, and move towards a happy ending together. But a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: If he could defeat the Dragon God and obtain a large amount of time and space power, could he first make him his subordinate, and then destroy the Human God, and also achieve a happy ending?
However, can he defeat the Dragon God, the strongest being in the world? Noel silently examined his own talents: God-killing Body, Lonely Brave, and Violent. Perhaps he could try, but the timing was clearly not right, and a rash move would only cost him his life.
Just as Noel was lost in thought, Rudius’s cry interrupted his thoughts. Looking at Rudius sucking the baby’s milk contentedly, Noel curled his lips and secretly mocked this homebody in his previous life. Compared with himself, he had firm principles and integrity. Apart from the initial forced feeding, he would never compromise easily. In those days, he was a toddler who relied on a bottle to get milk.
Looking at the leisurely little guy in front of him, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: It’s all because of my damn principles.
As the feeling of fullness gradually spread, the novel feeling brought by the close contact with the breasts also dissipated. At this time, Rudius’s eyes fell on the two-year-old child who had been standing beside him and watching him quietly.
However, when he turned his gaze to Noel, he swallowed involuntarily.
Those were a pair of cold eyes, and his own figure was clearly reflected in the golden pupils, lying on the bed. The doll-like face was expressionless, staring at him with an indifferent look that seemed to say “Who are you?”, with a hint of disdain and alienation.
Chapter 5: Brother Rudeus (Old Version)
Rudius suddenly felt a little uneasy. He glanced at his father who was smiling naively at the side, then turned to his mother who was sitting quietly, feeling mixed emotions.
How he wanted to blurt out: “Your children seem to be hostile to me.”
However, at this moment, Paul seemed to remember something, and suddenly pulled Noel, who seemed a little irritated, in front of Rudius, and said with a smile: “You two have to get along well.”
The two pairs of eyes met, and Rudeus was so shocked by Noel’s cold red-gold eyes that he involuntarily looked away.
To be honest, he was filled with fear at this moment.
Paul noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, tapped Noel’s forehead lightly, and his expression became solemn: “You two have to get along well, especially you, Noel. As an older brother, you have to take care of your younger brother more.”
Noel sighed helplessly and nodded.
Looking at his son’s appearance, Paul’s mouth curled up into a smile. Regardless of whether Rudius could understand it or not, he still said to Rudius: “Don’t look at Noel like this now, he is actually a gentle person at heart.”
Paul then made a face, trying to amuse Rudeus.
But Rudius couldn’t laugh at all.
After playing with Rudius for a while, Paul was relieved to see the baby gradually calm down. He put Rudius back in the crib, and then snuggled up with Senis, leaving Noel and Lilith to take care of Rudius.
Rudius half-closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep, but in fact he was secretly observing the child in front of him.
Although this child has a rare good appearance, his face is expressionless.
There was no emotion in those cold eyes, which instantly reminded Rudius of the classmates who bullied him in his previous life.
Due to his past life experience, Rudius was full of fear of strangers. In his eyes, Noel’s young face began to distort and overlap, turning into the faces of the bullies in his past life.
Have they ever looked at him in this way?
He felt scared and panicked. Would this so-called family bully him like those people in his previous life?
He didn’t know that fear was overwhelming him like a tide, and he began to curl up unconsciously, just like in his previous life. Just as Rudius was doubting, the two-year-old child quietly approached his bed, moved a chair, and stood on it swiftly.
Suddenly, Rudius’s face turned extremely pale, as if even the last trace of blood had been drained away, and his body trembled involuntarily. He repeatedly told himself that everything had been turned over and everything had been restarted, but the fear in his heart was like a fog, making it difficult for him to distinguish the reality in front of him.
This scene also did not escape Noel’s eyes.
He looked at this seemingly strong child, watching his trembling body curled up into a ball, as if there was endless terror hidden in the outside world. Noel couldn’t help but sigh. Although he used to despise Rudius’s previous life, at this moment, he was undoubtedly a pitiful man worthy of sympathy.
Noel slowly reached out his hand and gently touched the delicate face.
When Rudius saw the approaching hand, his heart tightened. The memories of school bullying in his previous life came flooding back like a tide. Fear turned into an invisible black hand, tightly strangling his throat, almost suffocating him.
Tears welled up in his eyes and could burst out at any time.
However, the next moment, a white finger gently pinched Rudius’s cheek. The imagined suffocation and pain did not come, but was replaced by a delicate and smooth feeling from the finger.
This warm and slightly cool touch surprised and confused Rudeus.
He suddenly opened his eyes, tears already sliding down silently.
Noel naturally noticed Rudius’s abnormality, but he just smiled slightly, thinking that if it was Paul, he would have discovered it long ago. Fortunately, he met himself.
Noel sighed softly and thought to himself: We are both time travelers, why should we make things difficult for each other?
He pretended not to notice Rudius’s abnormality, brushed his fingers lightly across his forehead, and said in a childish voice: “From now on, you are my brother, and I will protect you.”
Noel’s words were gentle and firm. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by Rudius.
Of course, Rudius couldn’t understand the deep meaning of this sentence at the moment. After all, he had just arrived in this strange world.
But no matter what, this sentence was like a beam of warm light, illuminating the haze in his heart. That sentence touched his heartstrings for no reason, causing his heart to tremble.
His eyes involuntarily turned red again and tears quietly fell. At this moment, he felt so fragile inside, and seemed so sad and helpless.
He hurriedly raised his hand, instinctively trying to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but suddenly realized that he was just a baby at the moment. So he began to clumsily try to cover up his loss of composure, opened his mouth and cried loudly, using loud crying to cover up the uncontrollable tears.
The previous strength was just a disguise, but the fragility at this moment is undoubtedly real.
Noel looked helpless, and at this moment, Paul’s footsteps were heard outside the house. He looked at Noel standing on the chair, and then glanced at Rudius who was lying in the stroller and crying loudly.
Paul came forward and asked with concern, “What happened?”
Noel still maintained that indifferent expression and replied calmly: “Maybe I accidentally woke Rudeus up. I’m sorry, father.”
Paul was no longer surprised by Noel’s indifference. He shook his head helplessly and said, “You should learn to smile more.”
Noel thought hard and managed a twisted smile.
Seeing this, Paul covered his face and said, “You should stay the same. It’s really hard for you.”
——
Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Rudius already understood that the cute boy with expressionless face in front of him was his older brother Noel.
But this eldest brother seems a little unusual.
Whenever Rudius wanted to use his young age as an excuse to do something inappropriate, he would always be met with Noel’s cold gaze.
Noel would say coldly: “Rudius, a boy who does such a thing would be considered a pervert.”
Thus, Rudeus’ hand that was reaching for his underwear froze in mid-air.
He tried to put on a baby’s innocent smile to get away with it, but Noel didn’t buy it. He picked up Rudius and flicked him lightly on the forehead.
Then, he grabbed Rudius by the collar, threw him roughly onto the bed, and said in a stern tone: “Don’t peek into other people’s privacy with that lustful look. Do you want to be like Paul?”
In his heart, Rudius actually wanted to be Paul, but facing Noel’s serious and handsome face, he finally lowered his head in shame.
Looking at the unhappy Rudius, Noel continued, “Our behavior should be open and aboveboard, not sneaky.”
Rudius had been lowering his head, but he suddenly raised it and looked at Noel, who had a serious expression, with a confused look on his face. He muttered to himself: Are you sure what you said is okay? Do you want to reconsider it?
“In short, it’s wrong to take someone else’s underwear without permission. Do you understand, Rudius?” Noel said seriously, as if he was talking about something extremely serious.
Chapter 6: In ancient times, Kong Rong gave up his pears. Today, Rudius gave up his pears. Isn’t that reasonable? (Old version)
Rudeus has spent two years in the New World.
However, his life was not going well.
As a baby, he should have been able to easily realize those unattainable dreams of the past.
But he was repeatedly obstructed by an annoying little boy – no, to be correct, it was that hateful little devil.
Today, Rudius vowed to make him pay for insulting him.
With this thought in mind, Rudius approached Noel’s room silently. The door was slightly open, and Rudius pushed it open gently without making a sound.
Just like that, Rudius suddenly rushed in, and the scene in front of him shocked Rudius.
The handsome little boy was playing with a pitch-black dagger with his fair and slender fingers. The dagger was wrapped with countless magical black threads, like a work of art.
When Rudius stepped in, Noel cast a cold look at him, and the magic blade in his hand was like a nimble butterfly, drawing elegant black tracks in the air.
“How cool.” Rudeus couldn’t help but exclaim.
But then, a gaze without any emotion locked onto Rudeus.
“Rudius, don’t you know you have to knock on the door before entering?” Noel’s voice was calm and elegant. Although it was childish, it revealed unquestionable majesty.
Rudius waved his chubby little hands awkwardly, trying to explain, but after meeting those clear eyes, Rudius lowered his head involuntarily and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
A light sigh sounded, and Noel continued, “Don’t do this next time.” He waved his hand, signaling Rudius to leave.
However, Rudius was full of curiosity about the scene just now, and couldn’t help asking Noel: “Brother Noel, did you use magic just now?”
Noel nodded calmly.
Rudeus asked curiously, “What kind of magic is that? Why doesn’t it require chanting?”
Since he was one year old, Rudeus knew that there was supernatural power in this world, and he became obsessed with magic research and magic training. Now he can barely cast intermediate magic, and even created a set of skills to cast magic without chanting.
Noel’s mouth curled up into a smile. In Rudius’s eyes, Noel’s smile seemed to carry a hint of mockery, and Noel asked back in a joking tone: “Who said that you have to chant spells to cast magic?”
Rudius was speechless for a moment, and stammered: “But the book says that you have to recite a long string of spells!”
Noel glanced at him with disdain and said, “Magic is not that difficult. Those so-called magicians in the books write nonsense when they can’t handle it themselves. Do you believe them? Just listen to them, don’t take them seriously.”
Rudeus was silent. He looked at his four-year-old brother in front of him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. His self-esteem was hit. He originally thought that he was gifted after reincarnation, but he didn’t expect that his brother seemed to be even more outstanding.
After being frustrated for a while, Noel continued to explain: “This is a spell I created myself. I call it ‘Magic Sword’.”
Rudeus’ eyes flashed, and he asked cautiously: “Well, can I learn it?”
Noel was not surprised that Rudius was secretly training his magic power in private. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “How is your control over magic power?”
“It’s okay.” Rudius replied.
“Then can you gather your magic power?” Noel asked.
“Okay.” Rudius nodded.
Noel continued, “Don’t transform it into elements such as wind, fire, water, and earth. Magic is magic. Just try to compress it and condense it continuously.”
Rudius frowned and tried, but soon his face turned pale, and he sighed and said, “No, there is not enough magic power. This spell requires too much magic power.”
Noel waved his hand and sighed, “It seems you can’t do it.”
The two words “No” were like a sharp blade, deeply hurting Rudius’ heart.
His face flushed instantly, and he glared at the seemingly indifferent little boy in front of him. Although Noel still had no expression on his face, Rudius had reason to suspect that he was teasing him on purpose.
Looking out the window at the bright summer sunshine and the white clouds rolling leisurely in the blue sky, Noel suggested: “Let’s go out.”
Hearing the word “get out”, Rudius shuddered involuntarily. He wanted to refuse, but in Noel’s cold words, everything was a foregone conclusion: “This is an order, no need to say more.”
Rudius forced a forced smile, looked at Noel, and tried to delay with words: “It’s scorching outside, and it’s cool and pleasant at home. Why bother yourself and go outside to bask in the sun?”
However, Noel just looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Rudius swallowed hard as he exchanged glances with Noel that seemed to freeze everything. The words of agreeing to go out together were stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say them out. In the end, he was still forcibly pulled out of the house by Noel. He only said “I’m going out” to Lilia, and then embarked on the journey with a bitter and resentful expression on his face.
The world outside the house is actually quite different. Today’s sun is not scorching, and the breeze is blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Outside the door is a golden rice field, farmers are working hard, and children are playing in the fields. However, all this is full of fear in Rudius’ eyes. Even though time has diluted many memories, his timid heart is still difficult to calm down.
At this moment, a warm hand held Rudius’s little hand. He looked up in surprise and saw the faint smile on Noel’s lips. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring and the breeze in autumn. Although it was not ostentatious, it was extremely charming. The sun shone on Noel’s long golden hair, and the hair danced in the wind. His eyes were always so peaceful, like a clear spring.
Rudius was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery. Noel led the slightly homely boy to the edge of the rice field and whispered, “Stretch out your hand.” Rudius stretched out his hand as he was told. Noel gently raised his hand and let the golden rice ears brush his fingertips. The rice ears swayed in the wind, and the plump grains sparkled in the sun. Rudius’ fingers gently brushed across the rice ears, feeling a tingling touch. At the same time, he noticed a tiny insect crawling on the rice ears, which made him fall into a brief trance.
He felt confused and looked into Noel’s clear and bright eyes again. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts. With just one glance, Rudius felt that all the secrets in his heart were seen through.
Noel spoke slowly: “Although I don’t know what you are afraid of, please remember that we only have one life, which is worth facing and cherishing bravely. The health you cherish, the mission you shoulder, and the relatives you love deeply are the irreplaceable core.”
Rudius stared at him blankly, his handsome face looking particularly sacred and solemn under the dim light.
At this moment, Rudius regarded the brother in front of him as the faith in his heart.
Loki’s position as a god in Rudius’ heart was quietly replaced by Noel.
Two years passed in a flash, and Noel successfully found a good match for Rudius, Sylphy. When Noel brought the slightly shy Sylphy into his home and prompted Rudius to start his plan to raise her, he silently warned Rudius: “You already have someone, so don’t mess around with other women.”
Since then, in addition to his daily magic and swordsmanship training, Noel has an important task in his life – calculating time. And this time calculation is precisely to wait for the arrival of Lokisi.
Since Rudeus already has a partner, then as his brother, it’s not wrong for me to have a partner too, right?
In ancient times, Kong Rong gave up his pears to his master, and now Rudius gives up his master to his master. It makes sense, doesn’t it?
Chapter 7: Roxy’s Arrival (Old Version)
When Rudius was four years old (Noel was six years old), Noel made a request to Paul and his wife with reasonable reasons: “Father, Mother, Rudius and I need a magic mentor.”
And today is the day when the magic teacher arrives.
A girl with beautiful blue hair stepped down from the carriage and introduced herself: “My name is Luo Qixi, thank you for your guidance.” The girl was petite and wore a magician-style brown robe. Her long aqua blue hair was braided into a pigtail. She looked about the same age as a junior high school student. She was dignified and lovely, which was very impressive.
She half-closed her eyes and talked to Paul in a slightly tired tone. Her loli-like appearance, unpleasant half-closed eyes and cold attitude became the first impression she gave people.
The moment he saw Luo Qixi, Noel pulled Rudius aside without hesitation. He said seriously, “Rudius, am I good to you?”
Rudius was confused, but he nodded. After all, although Noel appeared cold, he was actually a good brother who was trustworthy.
Noel leaned close to Rudius’ ear and whispered, “I like this girl.”
Rudius’ eyes widened instantly. He first looked at the lovely Luo Qixi, then turned his head to look at the handsome little boy in front of him. When he thought of the scene where they might get close, Rudius’ cheeks couldn’t help but flush, and all kinds of fantasies even emerged in his mind.
To make sure Rudius heard clearly, Noel emphasized again: “I like this girl.”
Rudius nodded after hearing this, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face. He leaned close to Noel’s ear and whispered, “How are you going to deal with this?”
“How to deal with it?” Noel glanced at Rudius in confusion and asked, “How else can we deal with it?”
Rudius chuckled, his mouth corners raised, revealing a sly smile, which made Noel involuntarily take two steps back. Rudius lowered his voice and said, “Of course that’s what I meant! Such a lovely girl, you won’t tell me that you don’t have any thoughts about her, right?”
Noel fell into deep thought, then nodded.
Rudius patted Noel’s shoulder, looked at Sylphy in the room, and said in a louder voice: “Sylphy, you can also come out to listen to the class.”
Paul was dissatisfied with the two whispering to each other and ordered loudly: “Noel, Rudius, come and meet your master!”
Luo Qixi looked at the two of them curiously and gently adjusted the brim of her hat.
Paul pointed to the taller boy next to him and said, “This is my oldest son, Noel.”
Then, he pointed to a little boy with yellow hair next to him and said, “This is my second son, Rudeus.”
Noel bowed respectfully and said, “Are you my master? Nice to meet you. My name is Noel Greyrat, you can call me Noel.”
Luo Qixi was a little dazed by the cute little boy in front of her.
Luo Qixi smiled, her eyes moving back and forth between Noel and Rudius.
“So, these two are going to learn magic?” asked Luo Qixi.
Rudeus raised his hand timidly and said, “If possible, I hope Sylphy can also receive your guidance.”
“Huh? Me? It’s great enough that I can be with Rudy and Brother Noel, but we also have to learn magic together. Is that too bad?” Sylphy asked shyly.
Rudius gave the latter a bright smile and waved his hand, looking confident.
Paul put his hand on his forehead and said in a slightly irritated tone, “I say, you two should not make decisions on your own. Originally, only you two were involved in the plan.”
Luo Qixi’s smile was a little stiff. She glanced at the slightly timid Sylphy next to her and sighed, “Okay, you can stay and listen. But then again, aren’t the three of you too young? One is six years old, and the other two are four years old.”
The smiles that Rudeus and Sylphy had originally been smiling froze in an instant.
Paul puffed out his chest proudly: “The children in our family are all geniuses,” he asserted.
Luo Qixi sighed helplessly, rubbed her brows, and her voice became softer: “Well, let’s start the first lesson of the day.”
So the four of them found an open space in the courtyard and sat down.
Luo Qixi took out a heavy magic book from the bag she was carrying, but put it down after thinking for a moment. She said to the three children sitting cross-legged in front of her: “Well, let’s start with this magic textbook… No, before that, let’s first confirm how much magic you can master.”
Rudius was about to speak, but was interrupted by Noel’s cold voice: “We just learned some relevant knowledge from the book.”
An expression of “as expected” appeared on Luo Qixi’s delicate face. She sighed softly, looked around, and said to everyone: “I will demonstrate it first, and you can try to see if you can learn it. May the great blessing of water be bestowed upon the place where it is sought, and may a cool shallow stream appear here – WaterBall.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a fist-sized water ball began to gather in her hand, flowing and then flying away.
With a “pa” sound, the water ball fell to the ground, splashing next to the railing and wetting it.
“Do you understand?” Luo Qixi’s expression was a little listless. Obviously, she didn’t have high expectations for these three children.
“Awesome!” Rudius shouted exaggeratedly, winking at Noel.
Sylphy was a little confused, and thought: Didn’t they both learn this a long time ago?
The wonder of magic is indisputable. It has the extraordinary ability to create the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth, as if summoning all things from nothingness.
However, the road to learning magic is extremely difficult, and it requires extremely strict control of magical power.
Just today, Luo Qixi encountered three geniuses with extraordinary magical talents.
Chapter 8 Magic and Swordsmanship (Old Edition)
Under Loki’s astonished gaze, almost everyone simultaneously cast the elementary magic of water ball.
Luo Qixi fell into deep thought, her face full of astonishment and thought. Obviously, this scene was a big blow to her. She sighed softly, and the helplessness on her young face turned into a bitter smile. She secretly marveled in her heart that these three children were all magic geniuses.
“So, what about intermediate magic? Does anyone of you know it?” Luo Qixi asked tentatively.
This time, Noel nodded without hesitation and said frankly, “The book only mentions intermediate magic, nothing above that.”
Hearing this, Luo Qixi inexplicably felt relieved. She encouraged herself secretly and said in a mature manner, “In fact, considering your age, being able to perform intermediate magic is not a big deal. Especially you, Noel, don’t be proud of it.”
Afterwards, Luo Qixi began to explain in detail the precautions of advanced magic. She was indeed an excellent lecturer, and her words were easy to understand.
Unconsciously, the morning passed quietly. Sylphy left after having dinner at Paul’s house, while Noel and Rudeus were left by Paul to practice swordsmanship.
“A man must have a sword in his heart to protect the people we cherish.” Paul’s words were powerful, but Noel only remembered these two key points.
In the afternoon, the formal sword training began. The training content mainly focused on sword swinging and basic movement exercises. They either used the wooden man in the yard as their opponent to test the standardization of their movements and the accuracy of their attacks; or practiced with Paul to train their footwork flexibility and the shift of their center of gravity.
In this world, swordplay is highly respected. It is undoubtedly a wise choice to start from the basics. After all, most heroes in this world use swords as weapons. Occasionally there are people who use axes or hammers, but they are only a minority.
As for the spear, since the disgusting Spearruds are good at using tridents, the spear is regarded as a weapon of the devil, and this concept is deeply rooted in people’s minds. The image of the devil using the spear as a weapon often appears in the book. They are often murderous demons who kill without distinguishing between enemies and friends.
Perhaps it is because of this background that the swordsmanship here is more sophisticated than in the world Noel was in before. If you can become a swordsman, you can not only split the rock with one sword, but also use the sword energy to strike the enemy from a distance. In fact, Paul has such an ability, he can easily split the rock in two.
Out of curiosity, Noel wanted to explore the mystery, so he coaxed Paul to demonstrate it several times with sweet words. Paul must have been filled with joy as his young son clapped for him happily.
However, despite watching countless times, Noel still failed to grasp the technique. When he asked Paul for advice, the answer he got was: “Just step forward with a ‘hum’ sound, and then swing the sword down with a ‘swish’!”
Although Paul was an excellent swordsman, he was not a good teacher. However, according to his own practice method, Noel gradually figured out some tricks.
Every time he swung his sword, he always had an inexplicable intuition guiding him, telling him how to swing the sword most smoothly, how to draw the sword most accurately, and how to put the sword back most safely. This feeling was as natural as finding the golden section point directly on a line segment.
Noel’s swordsmanship improved day by day, and he could accurately hit the opponent’s vital points every time he swung his sword. As he swung his sword more and more times, this intuition had almost become part of his blood.
Noel was puzzled by this and asked Paul: “For some reason, I can always find the most suitable way to draw the sword by intuition.”
On this day, Paul was silent for a long time, tears glistening in his eyes, and explained: “Your talent in swordsmanship is truly amazing.”
Fortunately, there is Rudius. Although his talent is outstanding, it is not to the point of shocking, which makes Paul feel a little relieved. After all, a son who is too good will also make his father feel stressed.
In this world, there are three main sword schools. The first is the Sword God Style, which emphasizes the swiftness of the attack and preemptive strikes, with speed as the key to victory. Attack is the best defense, which is the core concept of the Sword God Style. If it cannot kill the enemy with one strike, the Sword God Style will use guerrilla tactics until victory is achieved. This style is quite similar to the real-life Satsuma Shigen-ryu.
The second is the Water God Style, which is completely different from the Sword God Style and focuses on solid defense. The Water God Style is known for its excellent defense and rarely initiates attacks, but experts can skillfully turn any form of attack – whether magic or ranged weapons – into an opportunity to counterattack. This style is often favored by court knights and nobles.
As for Beishenliu, it is more of a tactical wisdom than a simple swordsmanship. It abandons fixed moves and instead responds flexibly according to the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. Paul calls it improvisation, but Beishenliu practitioners are often good at using subtle techniques and strategies to gain an advantage.
However, once it reaches perfection, Beishenliu can show unexpected ways to win. This style is particularly suitable for warriors with physical illnesses or disabilities, because they can still continue to fight. Because of this, Beishenliu is very popular among mercenaries and adventurers. In summary, these three sword styles have their own characteristics, and each has its own applicable scenarios and advantages.
Paul’s strength should not be underestimated, he has outstanding talent, whether it is the Water God Style, the North God Style or the Sword God Style, he has reached the level of a superior swordsman.
Don’t underestimate the strength of the senior swordsman. In fact, in addition to the Sword King and the Sword God, the level of the senior swordsman should not be underestimated. Swordsmanship is different from magic. It relies on hard training day after day to improve.
Time flies, and when the two finished their sword practice, the sun had set and night fell quietly.
Today is not only the day when Roxy visits, but also the moment when the power of time and space gathers.
[The power of time and space is full (100/100)][Currently, you can capture a one-star small world. Do you want to execute the capture? ]As night fell, Paul and Senice prepared a sumptuous dinner.
The roast chicken was steaming, shining attractively under the oil lamp; the bread was soft and delicious; the hot soup made with various vegetables exuded an enticing aroma; the dining table was filled with delicious dishes, and the whole hall was filled with fragrance and warmth.
“It smells so good.” Luo Qixi stared greedily at the food in front of her. This was almost the most delicious food she had enjoyed in the past year.
Then, everyone started to enjoy dinner. Knowles savored the chicken carefully, the smooth and delicate taste filled his mouth, and every bite was endlessly memorable.
It was unexpectedly delicious.
“It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be any extra room in our house.” Paul suddenly thought of this problem.
It is true that Noel and Rudius have been sleeping separately for a long time. After all, the space in this mansion is not spacious and the number of rooms is really limited.
When Noel heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he calmly gave Rudius a subtle look.
Seeing this, Rudius paused for a moment as he was picking up rice grains. He looked back at Noel meaningfully.
Chapter 9 Luo Qixi: I sleep with you tonight? (Old version)
Is it really appropriate for a six-year-old child to share a room with Lokisi? Rudius muttered to himself, mocking his brother’s unrealistic fantasy. He already knew that his brother had planned this and had ill intentions. Humph, after all, people who are related by blood always have somewhat similar styles of behavior.
Facing Noel’s stern eyes, Rudius had to speak: “Perhaps we can let Big Brother and Luo Qixi live in the same room. My room is messy and narrow. In comparison, Big Brother’s room should be able to accommodate two people.”
Paul hesitated when he heard this. He said awkwardly, “But your brother is a boy after all. It doesn’t seem right for him to sleep in the same room with a girl.”
Rudius continued to smooth things over: “My eldest brother is only six years old. Miss Luo Qixi can treat him as her little brother.”
Paul looked at Noel’s handsome face and inexplicably felt that this matter might not be a big deal.
At this time, Noel also spoke up at the right time: “Since my brother doesn’t want to share a room with the master, then I can accept it.”
Rudius looked at his indifferent brother in astonishment, secretly cursing him for being shameless and pushing the problem onto himself.
Noel’s childish voice, coupled with his deceptive appearance and cold attitude, made Paul feel strange, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong.
After thinking for a moment, he turned his gaze to Luo Qixi, only to see that Luo Qixi was excitedly picking up the food, and it was obvious that she was extremely hungry.
“Luo Qixi, is it okay for you to live with Noel?” Paul asked Luo Qixi for her opinion.
Luo Qixi only glanced at the pink-faced boy quickly, her mind completely focused on the food in front of her, and she agreed without even thinking: “Sure.”
Hearing the reply, Noel’s lips curled up into a faint smile, but he was actually ecstatic in his heart.
When Luo Qixi was about to go to her room to rest after dinner, she was suddenly awakened.
She grabbed Noel’s sleeve and asked in disbelief, “Will I sleep with you tonight?”
Noel nodded slightly, with a calm smile on his face. He noticed that Luo Qixi’s face was slightly flushed, and thought to himself that he should give some explanation. So he slowly said: “Well, my room is actually quite spacious.”
Luo Qixi stared at the young boy in front of her for a moment, and finally could only sigh helplessly and accept this slightly embarrassing reality. She picked up her luggage, stepped onto the stairs, and walked into Noel’s room, but was unexpectedly attracted by the scene in front of her.
As Noel said, his room was indeed very spacious and very clean. A wooden table leaned against the wall, with a comfortable armchair next to it. Books were neatly arranged on the table. A quick glance showed that most of them were books on magic knowledge and some introductions to the world background.
The floor was spotless and as smooth as a mirror. It was obvious that the owner had taken great care of this place. The bedding was neatly folded. The whole room was filled with a faint fragrance. After sniffing carefully, I found that the fragrance was exactly the same as the smell on Noel’s body.
“Master, you must be tired. The long journey is really tiring. You should go and have a rest first.” Noel said in his childish voice.
“To be honest, I’m a little sleepy.” After putting the things in place, Luo Qixi yawned involuntarily.
Noel sat upright on a chair, seemingly holding a book, but in fact his mind had already drifted to the exploration of the mysteries of the world. The dim candlelight illuminated his tender and cute face, his soft golden hair fell to his waist, and his golden eyes were pure and flawless, like a dazzling yellow gem. He looked serious and focused.
It seemed that this boy was different from the beginning. He always seemed so calm and reliable. Luo Qixi thought to herself.
She began to take off her magician-style coat, while observing Noel with her peripheral vision. If he dared to peek, she would definitely ask to change rooms. However, the child in front of her seemed to be really concentrating on reading, not disturbed by the outside world at all.
Luo Qixi sighed again, feeling mixed emotions. Her heart was filled with joy and a hint of sadness, and she wondered to herself, is it true that she has no charm at all?
At the same time, Luo Qixi had no idea that Noel was examining the various functions of the system with a curious eye.
[One-star world exploration target: Sword Art Online][Time flow rate ratio (one-star world: current world) = 4:1, that is, the time flow rate of the sword world is 4 times that of the current world. One year in the current world takes four years in the sword world.][World coordinates locked][Choose from the crossing method: 1. Soul projection (needs control), 2.

There are two ways to travel through time. One is to split the soul and enter the target world in the form of projection. Although you can go back and forth freely, the rewards are limited and you can only gain some experience.
The crossing of the body means that a choice must be made between the two.
After careful consideration, he felt that Sword Art Online, as a low-level martial arts world, was not very attractive and was not worth the risk.
So he chose soul projection.
Then, three identity options popped up on the screen:
[Optional identities (influencing talents): 1. Swordsmanship apprentice (slightly improves swordsmanship talent)][2. Lone Brave Man (Special): Embark on the journey of life with a fearless heart and pure attitude][Note 1: Choosing this identity will slightly change your personality][You will get the following status: innocent, simple, conceited, stubborn, unstable][Note 2: If you successfully clear the level with this identity, you will have a chance to unlock a higher level of Lone Hero talent]【3. Students (slightly improve learning ability)】
Lone Hero? Noel frowned again, muttering to himself, this choice is really tangled. He never expected that he would encounter the talent of “Lone Hero” again.
Obviously, the “lone hero”‘s talent far exceeds the other two.
Although his current “Lone Warrior” talent is only at the first level, the power of this level has greatly improved his attainments in the field of magic.
“Therefore, I decided to choose [Lone Brave] as my talent and step into this world.”
Noel’s mind moved, and in an instant, his perspective began to separate, as if his soul was split in two. He could clearly perceive the perspective, senses, and state of his other self, which was an unprecedented and novel experience.
He began to distract himself and control that self, doing two things at the same time.
And that self exists as a “lone hero”. (Time flow rate ratio (Sword World: Current World) = 4:1)
If you don’t pay special attention to it, the “lone hero” will act on his own according to the inherent behavioral habits of the simulated original body, which is quite similar to the so-called AI takeover, as if it is running automatically.
Of course, he can occasionally switch perspectives and experience the wonderful feeling of being in Sword Art Online. This is indeed a rather novel experience.
Chapter 10: Roxy’s Sleeping Posture (Old Version)
The sword world is an extremely ordinary world, or more precisely, a dull world. In this world, the city is filled with bustling people, each of whom is engaged in the trivialities of daily life. The streets are full of vehicles, and the endless flow of cars draws the pulse of the city.
The people living on this land experience ordinary days. From the tender childhood, they have gone through the ups and downs of life step by step, tasting joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. This is a modern world far away from swordplay and magic, dominated by reality. There are no extraordinary heroes, no thrilling adventures, only ordinary people, working silently in ordinary days.
Everyone has dreams and pursuits in their hearts, and these dreams and pursuits are often not grand. Perhaps it is the desire for a delicious meal, perhaps the longing for a trip, or perhaps the yearning for a new dress. These seemingly insignificant things add endless color and vitality to the world.
When faced with difficulties and challenges in life, people do not rely on swordsmanship or magic to resolve them, but rely on realistic efforts, such as working diligently, seeking help, or adjusting their way of thinking. In the trials of life, people continue to learn and grow, and occasionally make mistakes, but it is these mistakes that make them more mature and resilient.
All in all, this is an extremely ordinary world, but it is in this ordinariness that lies the true meaning and beauty of life.
There is an orphanage on this small island country with a population of over 100 million.
In this orphanage, the children’s growth trajectories are different. Some children grow up under the protection of the orphanage before they reach adulthood, until they are able to live independently and leave the orphanage. Other children are adopted before they reach adulthood and become the children of other families, having a completely different childhood. This is the future portrayal of the children in the orphanage of this small island country.
However, just a few months ago, a peculiar child arrived here.
It was a boy about five years old.
Even without an adult, no ID, and no way to stay in a regular hotel, he was able to convince others with his incredible words and find a place for himself. People had considered calling the police and asking them to intervene. The other party seemed to always be able to predict the future and always disappear without a trace at the critical moment.
Until one day, this mysterious child was met by the staff of the orphanage on the street. After careful consideration, he finally nodded and agreed to step into the gate of the orphanage. His reason was simple and straightforward: “Since this place can provide free food and accommodation, it saves me the trouble of running around for a living, and then I can free up more time to focus on my personal affairs.” Since then, he has become a member of the orphanage.
This child with shining blond hair did not have many extravagant expectations for life in the orphanage. He neither played with other children nor touched the toys. He looked listless every day, as if he had no interest in everything around him.
His unusual behavior quickly alerted the staff and even alarmed the dean, who curiously asked him, “What do you want?”
The blond child thought for a moment and then answered: “If possible, I hope you can give me a computer so that I can use it to look up information and play games.”
At first, the dean rejected his request and made up an excuse: “If you can get full marks in all subjects, I can consider buying you one.”
However, the dean obviously underestimated the child’s ability. On the second day, the child took the initiative to come to the dean and asked him to set the test questions. As expected, he got full marks in all subjects.
The dean was a strict and picky person, and he didn’t want the child to waste his talent by indulging in computer games. So he broke his promise and deliberately gave the child a high school question, trying to make the child give up.
But what was shocking was that just one month later, the child found the dean again and asked him to set questions. In the dean’s astonished eyes, he perfectly answered all the high school questions and still got full marks.
From then on, in the orphanage, people often saw a four-year-old boy sitting alone in a corner while others were playing, holding a laptop in his arms, staring at the screen intently, playing games that even adults found difficult to control.
This incident quickly caused a sensation in society, attracting people of all kinds to visit, all wanting to catch a glimpse of this talented young man.
Of course, not everyone had this in mind. Some approached the kid with a veiled intent, asking him college-level questions with the intent of embarrassing him.
However, the child still answered all the questions with a blank expression.
It was not until this moment that people suddenly realized that the child in front of them was actually a genuine child prodigy.
For a time, there was a constant stream of people wanting to adopt him.
But he refused them one by one, and when people asked him why, he just smiled and said nothing.
Until one day, a voice sounded in front of him, and the boy who was addicted to computer games looked up.
“Are you the legendary child prodigy?”
A slender, pretty woman in her twenties with light makeup and her hair combed back stood in front of him and asked.
“Are you here to adopt me?” he asked lazily.
The woman smiled slightly and nodded in response: “I also have two smart children. Nice to meet you. My name is Tong Gu Cui.”
Kiritani Midori extended her slender but firm hand.
The boy was silent for a moment, which was rare today. After thinking for a while, he held her hand.
“Kiritani Midori? Kiritani Kazuto’s mother.” He thought to himself, hesitated for a moment, and accepted her invitation.
Just like that, in the surprised gaze of everyone, the boy left the orphanage with Kiritani Midori.
People thought that Tonggu Cui had really picked up a treasure and looked at her with envy.
In the household registration book, she named him Takumi Kiritani.
And in another world.
Noel gave up control of Sword Art Online and looked helplessly at Roxy who was lying on top of him.
He had never expected that Luo Qixi’s sleeping posture was so indecent, almost using him as a pillow.
He sniffed the faint scent on Luo Qixi’s body and quietly moved her arm away from him.
Loki’s smooth blue hair made Noel’s cheeks itchy. He felt helpless and wanted to sigh.
He was confused.
Why did this seemingly elegant girl sleep in such a bad posture, almost pressing her whole body on him? He had the idea of ​​waking up Luo Qixi, but when he saw the girl immersed in a sweet dream, he couldn’t bear to disturb her peace.
Forget it, let her sleep peacefully like this for one night. After all, I have entered a stable life track over there.
So he slowly closed his eyes.
However, in the middle of the night, he felt his body getting heavier and his breathing getting harder until he was suffocated and woke up. He turned around and saw a smooth and delicate leg resting on his body, while Luo Qixi was hugging his neck tightly, and her not-so-full breasts were pressed against his cheek.
Instantly, Noel’s cheeks flushed. Looking at this delicate sleeping face in front of him, he suddenly regretted letting such a lovely girl sleep next to him.
He carefully lifted the girl’s feet and let out a long breath. He was secretly glad that he was still young. If he was five or six years older, he would probably find it difficult to control his inner impulse and swallow up this pure beauty.
But after all this ordeal, his sleep quality was greatly reduced and he felt mentally exhausted, as if he had been exhausted after a night of playing games.
Chapter 11: Roxy with the scent of Noel (old version)
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Noel sighed softly, his thoughts drifting to his self in “Sword Art Online”.
At this moment, Takumi Kiritani was leisurely immersed in the world of computer games, his fingertips jumping on the keyboard, agile and fast, almost leaving a blurry shadow on the keyboard. With his control, the character on the screen completed a series of precise and difficult movements.
After he defeated the final BOSS without any damage and ended his gaming journey, he turned to challenge a game called “IWanna”.
This game, which Noel had played in his previous life, is an original heart-breaking series that requires players to rely on superb operating skills to win. The game is full of traps, which is a great test of the player’s operation and mentality.
In his previous life, he barely passed the first level after failing ten times, and the second level took him hundreds of deaths before he could pass it. As for the third level, he gave up helplessly and uninstalled the game.
However, a trace of doubt arose in his mind, why did he choose to play this game?
He couldn’t help but mutter to himself: “Hosting, hosting, what on earth have you done?”
Noel looked at the familiar game interface in front of him, and he was eager to try it out. Finally, he couldn’t help but play a few games.
With his excellent skills, he easily completed the game. Then, Noel let go of the control of this virtual world and returned to his bed to continue his nap.
However, just as he closed his eyes, a restless hand touched him again.
Noel frowned and opened his eyes, his cute face full of impatience.
To be honest, it was nice to be close to Luo Qixi, but all he wanted now was to sleep.
Fortunately, Luo Qixi did not make any other moves, which made him relieved and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Luo Qixi looked at Noel in her arms with a flushed face. Noel was sleeping soundly, only his brows were slightly wrinkled occasionally. Luo Qixi’s cheek was almost pressed against Noel’s. She felt Noel’s soft and white face and slender body, and inexplicably felt that the child in front of her exuded a unique charm.
She secretly blamed herself, silently removed her feet from Noel’s body, and slowly pulled out her hand that was stretched into Noel’s chest. Then, Luo Qixi sat up from the bed.
After getting up, she found that she was in good spirits. Last night, Luo Qixi unexpectedly enjoyed a peaceful sleep, and she was secretly thankful for the boy’s natural pillow. This thought quietly emerged in her mind.
After a few dry coughs, she saw that the little boy Noel beside her was still asleep, so she quietly got up to wash up in the morning. When everything was ready, Luo Qixi tiptoed towards Noel.
It must be said that Noel showed a different kind of cuteness while sleeping. His usually cold face became soft at this moment, and his delicate features were even more attractive under the warm sunshine. The contours of his collarbone and cheeks made people feel pity, and that fair and cute little face was so lovely that even Luo Qixi couldn’t help but want to kiss it.
How cute, so cute that it’s almost unfair! Luo Qixi thought. After all, aren’t loli and shota equally attractive to some extent?
If Rudius were here, he would be ecstatic and shout “Lolita is power”; and Su Bai in his previous life might also be filled with emotion and quote many famous sayings to prove this point: Darwin said “survival of the fittest, lolita will survive naturally”; Hemingway said “people can be destroyed, but lolita cannot exist”; the ancients also said “wildfire cannot be extinguished, lolita will grow again”… All these remarks are reasonable and well-founded, which makes people believe it.
It can be seen from this that the appeal of shota, especially a shota with a paralyzed face like Noel, is doubled in lethality.
In the end, Lokisi woke up Noel with a hint of guilt.
Noel rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking a little off. He looked around and noticed that Luo Qixi’s face was slightly flushed, and he couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
“Good morning, Master Lokisi.” Noel said with a yawn.
“Good morning, Noel.” Luo Qixi responded.
Noel looked at Luo Qixi in confusion, feeling that she seemed a little guilty today. He turned over and got up, groping around the room with a dazed look. He reached out to take the clothes that he had placed beside him yesterday, but he found nothing. A trace of doubt arose in his heart, and he couldn’t help scratching his head and thinking, he clearly remembered that the clothes were placed here.
At this time, Luo Qixi took out his coat from somewhere, walked towards Noel calmly, and put on the coat a little awkwardly.
Noel looked at Luo Qixi, a smile bloomed on his cold face, and he said softly: “Thank you, Master Luo Qixi.”
Luo Qixi’s heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp arrow, and she was secretly excited: “Noel is still so cute today!”
A strange feeling quietly awakened in her heart.
She helped Noel up and asked softly, “Do you need my help with your hair?”
After Luo Qixi’s mention, Noel also noticed that his hair was messy. After thinking for a while, he smiled at Luo Qixi and said, “If it’s convenient, I’ll leave it to you. Of course, I will repay my master.”
Luo Qixi gently stroked Noel’s soft hair, her heart full of envy.
She combed the boy’s messy hair carefully, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from him, and her mind couldn’t help but drift away.
An inexplicable impulse surged in her heart, and she wanted to hug the boy tightly in her arms.
The boy turned his head, his golden eyes sparkling with dazzling light.
He said softly, “Let me help you comb your hair, Master Luo Qixi.”
Luo Qixi turned around, her long hair falling to her waist like a waterfall.
The boy bent down, and his fingertips gently slid across the girl’s smooth blue hair. Suddenly, he moved closer to the girl, with no expression on his handsome face, and whispered, “Teacher Luo Qixi’s hair is so beautiful.”
Luo Qixi’s cheeks flushed instantly. She deliberately avoided the boy’s gaze and said in a trembling voice: “Really? Thank you for the compliment.”
The boy combed the girl’s hair patiently, his fingers sliding lightly over each strand.
For some reason, Luo Qixi thought of her mother. In her memory, her mother also combed her hair carefully.
“Teacher Lokishi.”
The young boy’s tender voice awakened her from her memories. Luo Qixi looked puzzled and asked, “What happened?”
Noel said in a nonchalant tone, but in fact with a hint of joking, “Teacher Luo Qixi, you seem to have my scent on you.”
When Luo Qixi heard this, her cheeks instantly turned red. She tapped the boy on the head unceremoniously and scolded him, “Don’t say such weird things.”
Chapter 12 Paul’s Swordsmanship Lesson (Old Version)
Early in the morning, after washing up, Luo Qixi hurriedly ate breakfast, then stood at the door and took a deep breath.
The morning time was dominated by Luo Qixi.
Luo Qixi has a lot of experience and seems to have traveled to many countries. She revealed that her hometown is located in the Demon Continent, where the environment is harsh and monsters are rampant. When she first stepped into the Kingdom of Asura, she was full of envy for the fertile land here.
Then, Luo Qixi began to explain in an easy-to-understand way the formation principles of magic, traced the source of magic power, and finally guided everyone to learn advanced magic.
Surprisingly, Noel mastered the technique of releasing magic after only a few attempts, and Rudeus and Sylphy also barely learned the skill after a morning of hard training.
Luo Qixi forced a smile and whispered to herself: “It seems that you will surpass me soon.”
Noel and Rudius exchanged glances. It was obvious that the talents of their group had a great impact on Lokisi.
Noel secretly sighed in his heart, this was all due to his damn excellent magical talent.
He comforted Luo Qixi and said, “Master Luo Qixi, don’t worry, Rudeus is a fool, you can still teach us for a long time.”
Rudius had a question mark on his face when he heard this.
After a morning of training, Sylphy stayed for lunch, and then Noel began his daily lunch break.
But Luo Qixi had no habit of taking a nap. She went out of the house and cast a spell to pray for rain for the farmers’ rice fields.
In his spare time, Noel glanced at himself in another world – he was concentrating on playing games.
Noel looked at this scene and fell into deep thought.
This AI seems a little bit unserious.
“Brother Takumi, what game are you playing?” Kazuto Kiritani, who was about four years old, had his eyes fixed on the computer operated by the boy next to him. A violent game full of horror and bloody elements was displayed on the screen.
Takumi Kiritani thought for a moment, then picked up little Kiritani Kazuto and let him sit next to him.
On the computer screen, a middle-aged strong man holding a gun was rushing around in the virtual world, followed by three companions.
Zombies emerged from all directions from time to time, but Takumi Kiritani shot them in the head one by one with his accurate shooting skills.
Despite the large number of zombies, he quickly cleared a passage under his operation.
“Brother Takumi, you are so awesome!” Kazuto Kiritani widened his eyes and looked at the game screen on the computer with admiration.
The magnetic voice of Takumi Kiritani rang out: “Kirito, do you want to try?”
Kiritani Kazuto tilted his head, and although he didn’t understand why his elder brother called him that, he nodded and said excitedly, “I want to play!”
So, the brothers started their home electric journey.
In another world called Musashi Reincarnation, Noel was so angry that he almost jumped up. He cursed loudly: “What a lousy trusteeship! Enough, not doing your job properly!”
He thought to himself: If you don’t work hard, how can I live a good life in the future? Forget it, if you play badly, I will play badly too, let’s all play badly! Just wait for the Dragon God to come one day, and then we will all be finished together.
After thinking for a while, Noel began to give orders to himself over there: “Go study!”
However, he was still concentrating on playing the game.
Huh? Wait, can’t the hosting company set up tasks? Does the other party do everything according to their own preferences?
However, how could he play games all night? He was not such an unmotivated person. At least, he would go to sleep for a while, and then get up to continue playing games.
Thinking of this, Noel closed his eyes angrily and began to sleep.
In the afternoon, Paul’s swordsmanship class began.
“Idiot! Are you going to ‘step forward with a hey sound and then chop down with a bang’? You should ‘step forward with a hum sound and then chop down with a swish’! Be quicker!” Paul pointed at Rudius and scolded loudly.
Rudius looked aggrieved: “You are so vague, who can understand you? What does ‘step forward with a hum and then chop down with a swish’ mean? Can you be more vague?”
Hearing this, Paul was immediately furious.
He nodded to Noel, who was easily splitting rocks with his sword, and questioned, “Why can your brother do it, but you can’t?”
“Don’t tell me you don’t know about Big Brother’s extraordinary talent. That’s not due to your teaching. It’s obvious that he is born with extraordinary talent.” Rudius retorted unwillingly, trying to defend himself.
Paul shook his head helplessly, pretending to hold his forehead and sighing: “So, it’s your lack of talent?”
Rudius’s face instantly turned red. He hesitated to speak, but finally chose to remain silent. Because Paul’s words really left him no way to refute.
Rudius felt wronged and muttered to himself: OK, OK, it’s all my fault. But when he saw Paul with a smug smile on his face, he decided to dampen his spirit, so he asked Noel for help: “Brother, please say something, look at how cocky Paul is!”
“Hey? How dare you call your father’s name? You’re asking for a fight!” Paul was immediately furious when he heard it, and picked up the wooden sword and swung at Rudius.
Seeing this, Noel couldn’t help but put his hand on his forehead and sighed speechlessly: “What a pair of idiots.”
After cleaning up, Paul turned his attention to Noel and said, “Let me see your progress.”
This naturally refers to fencing, and Paul would train with everyone every day as a sparring partner.
Noel gladly accepted the challenge. He took a deep breath and held the sword horizontally in front of his chest. Paul also raised his sword to meet his challenge. His arms were strong and his hands were covered with thick calluses from sword practice.
After the two signaled to each other, they attacked at the same time.
Their movements were identical, all using the Sword God style of swordsmanship, with great power and amazing speed.
The two wooden swords collided suddenly in the air, making a sharp sound.
Paul was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect that Noel could take his attack head-on.
So he increased his strength, but saw Noel’s eyes fixed, and magic power instantly flowed through his body along his blood.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the originally thin Noel’s muscles bulged, and a powerful force surged in his body. He gasped for breath, and suddenly raised the wooden sword in his hand, pushing Paul’s sword back.
This scene left Rudius and Luo Qixi stunned, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
Paul was also surprised by Noel’s sudden change. However, the wooden sword in Noel’s hand was swung out like lightning, accompanied by the whistling wind. The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. In the blink of an eye, it was already close to Paul’s eyes.
However, in the next moment, Paul’s wooden sword flew out and blocked Noel’s attack with a light swing.
He stretched out his right hand and firmly grasped Noel’s right arm holding the sword, and then, in Noel’s astonished eyes, he threw him cleanly and did a backflip.
Noel was in unbearable pain. He sat on the ground, holding his butt with both hands, and shouted angrily, “Father, you are cheating! We clearly agreed to a sword fight, why are you still touching me?”
Paul blushed when he heard this, and stammered as he explained, “This… This is a sword technique from the Water God Style. This is just one of the counterattack techniques.”
Paul was secretly surprised. This kid had only been practicing swordsmanship for less than two years, but he had already mastered it so skillfully that he had to use a second swordsmanship technique to deal with him.
Chapter 13 The One and Only Roxy (Old Version)
As expected, Noel was beaten badly. He rubbed his arm that was hurt by Paul and complained with gritted teeth: “Isn’t this too much?”
“Why bother? For boys, it’s good to have more experience,” Paul responded.
“Experience? I’m only six years old!” Noel protested.
Even Lilia couldn’t help but interrupt, her tone was a bit serious: “The children are in their growth period, you should pay more attention to them, head of the family.”
Paul knew he was in the wrong, so he tried to change the subject with a playful smile.
Luo Qixi looked at the heartwarming scene with a smile on her face, and couldn’t help but think of her own childhood, when her parents also got along in this way.
However, she hadn’t been back to the village for some time, and didn’t know how they were doing now.
Recalling the past, Luo Qixi always felt a little dazed. When she came to her senses, she found that Noel’s slightly indifferent face had approached her and asked from a distance: “Master Luo Qixi, what’s wrong with you? You look a little lonely.”
“It’s nothing, I just think you two have a really great relationship.” Luo Qixi looked at the cute boy in front of her and sighed sincerely.
“Really?” Noel nodded thoughtfully.
After returning home, Noel continued to immerse himself in the simulation game of Sword Art Online.
In another world, Takumi Kiritani is calmly teaching little Kirito how to play games. Kirito learns at an amazing speed, and Takumi has to admit that he is indeed very talented in games, and his operating details are almost impeccable.
“Well done, Kirito, you’re really great!” Takumi Kiritani earnestly patted the shoulder of the cute little shota in front of him.
After receiving the praise from his eldest brother, Kiritani Kazuto scratched his head shyly and puffed out his chest proudly. However, Kiritani Suguha in the distance snorted disdainfully and protested loudly: “You two only know how to play games. And, eldest brother, how can you let the second brother play such a horrible game? I’m going to tell mom!”
The corner of Kiritani Takumi’s mouth twitched, and Kiritani Kazuto quickly ran up to grab Kiritani Suguha, and tried to persuade her, and finally promised to take her with him when playing games in the future. Only then did she reluctantly agree not to complain to her mother.
Thinking of this, Noel thought that maybe he could try to contact Asuna. This rich lady might be able to become his right-hand man in the future. The current opportunity is still good for advancing his cloud development. Uh, don’t get me wrong, I’m just quite interested in the real version of the cloud development game.
However, he still has important tasks on hand, and it is difficult for him to concentrate on the world of Sword Art Online. There are still tasks waiting for him tomorrow, and he must rest up now. Although the hosting service is not satisfactory and cannot lead him to a brighter path, it is really a helpless move.
Just make do with it for now.
The next morning, when the boy woke up, he instinctively looked around, but unfortunately, he did not see Luo Qixi.
Luo Qixi is an extremely cute girl.
It is not difficult to see from the original work that she is a little childish but kind-hearted.
Every afternoon, she would use her free time when she had no classes to cast magic spells and bring rain to the farmers.
It was the same today, except that there was a little tail behind her.
Noel nonchalantly held a straw that came from nowhere in his mouth and followed Luo Qixi leisurely.
Luo Qixi sighed helplessly, turned around and asked, “Noel, why are you following me?”
Noel replied matter-of-factly, “I’m bored.”
It was boring indeed, because Rudius was progressing slowly, and Paul was giving him one-on-one coaching. And Noel had a solid foundation, so Paul allowed him to take a day off.
“Then why are you following me?” Luo Qixi’s expression was slightly unhappy, but this had no direct connection with Noel following her.
Noel thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his cold little face: “I just want to see what Master Luo Qixi usually does when he goes out.”
Luo Qixi sighed again, turned around and pulled the brim of her hat, without saying anything else, allowing the boy to follow her.
Autumn is undoubtedly a beautiful season.
This is true no matter from which angle you look at it.
The golden rice ears sway gently in the autumn wind, emitting a faint fragrance. That is the hope of the farmers and the fruit of their hard work.
“You know what? Noel, seeing their smiles makes me happy and relieved. Magic is not only used for fighting, it has many uses and can solve many problems.” A smile appeared on the corner of Loki’s mouth.
Whenever the farmers met Luo Qixi, their faces were always filled with warm smiles and they greeted her warmly.
Obviously, Luo Qixi occupies a special place in their hearts and is deeply loved by them. And she also seems to cherish this friendship from them very much. She comes to help check the fields every day without any effort. Once someone needs her, she is always the first to appear by their side.
Inside Luo Qixi’s thin body lies an extremely kind heart.
Noel quietly watched Luo Qixi’s innocent smile. Whenever she helped someone, that smile was as bright as a blooming flower.
This made Noel feel dazed and surprised, as if the past days were like a dream and vague.
Did Zhuang Zhou dream of the butterfly, or did the butterfly dream of Zhuang Zhou?
Perhaps, when everything wakes up, we will find that it was just a dream?
Noel was full of doubts.
It has been nearly six years since I traveled here. Time seems to change everything, yet it seems that nothing has changed.
Noel has a deep affection for Roxy, but that is limited to her image in the anime.
When the real Luo Qixi appeared in front of him, he could feel her true character from her every move and subtle expression. She was a slightly arrogant girl. Although she usually tried to show her mature side, she had a childlike innocence in her heart.
Luo Qixi is not perfect. On the contrary, she has many small shortcomings: she hates trouble, likes to be praised, and sometimes seems a little childish.
However, it is precisely these imperfections that make the real Loki more attractive than her image in the anime.
Her smooth hair, soft figure, faint body fragrance and occasional temper together make up this unique Lokisi.
She is no longer the Roxy in the anime “Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World”. After Noel came to this world, everything has changed drastically and the future is full of unknowns.
In that case, why not keep this unique Lokisi by your side?
Honestly, she’s even more attractive now.
Loki strolled among the golden ears of rice, which swayed gently in the wind and danced with her magic robe.
The golden morning light, the golden ears of rice and the girl’s face complement each other, and the magic wand in her hand sparkles with a blue light.
As dark clouds gathered and raindrops fell, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The raindrops slowly dripped down Luo Qixi’s clothes, adding a bit of haziness and poetry to the picture.
The rain touched Noel’s cheek, bringing a hint of coolness that suddenly woke him up from his trance.
After Luo Qixi completed all the tasks, Noel quietly approached her, reached out and gently held Luo Qixi’s hand.
Luo Qi looked at Noel in front of her, and an inexplicable strange feeling surged in her heart. Today, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of the boy’s mouth.
Chapter 14: Proud Roxy (Old Version)
All in all, although Luo Qixi has a tragic fate, she is kind-hearted.
That’s why Noel likes this slightly naive girl.
The breeze ruffled her hair, and the blue hair gently fell to her waist. Loki strolled on the path that passed through the farmland.
Farmers were working hard all around, sweating profusely. Whenever they met Luo Qixi, they all smiled and greeted her warmly.
Noel watched silently from the side. The afterglow of the sun not only shone on her cheeks, but also warmed Noel’s heart.
In short, no matter how the outside world judges his motives, whether he is attracted by beauty or is greedy for beauty, Noel has made up his mind that he will choose Lokixi.
Noel walked quickly forward and took Luo Qixi’s hand. She was slightly startled. The touch of his fingertips reminded her of what happened yesterday, and her cheeks couldn’t help but flush.
Noel followed Lokisi quietly and witnessed her performing magic for the farmers, bringing rain. The raindrops slowly fell from the sky, nourishing the earth and rice fields. Lokisi and the farmers had smiles on their faces.
After Luo Qixi finished all this, this time without Noel taking the initiative, Luo Qixi smiled and held Noel’s hand.
“She seems to be in a good mood?” Looking at the laughing Luo Qixi in front of him, Noel suddenly discovered that this girl might be a little bit arrogant.
After dinner, under Rudius’ envious gaze, Noel strode back to the room, lit the oil lamp, and in the dim light, he began to review his experiences of the day.
[Summary: Luo Qixi’s hands are extremely soft. ]Noel pondered and finally wrote this line, but the boy stared at it, feeling a little uneasy. Was this description not serious enough? Was it too frivolous?
In the blink of an eye, it is time to go to sleep again.
After Noel finished writing his diary, he quickly took off his clothes and turned over to lie on the bed.
A trace of shyness arose in Luo Qixi’s heart. Thinking back to her experience the night before, she found it difficult to fall asleep peacefully.
The moonlight was bright, the stars were twinkling, and that night was quiet and silent.
When Noel woke up the next day, he found himself tightly wrapped by Lokixi like an octopus. He smelled her unique fragrance and felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart. It was a pity that he was still young.
Noel could only sigh silently.
As time goes by, the feelings between Noel and Luo Qixi grow deeper and deeper. However, Noel’s feelings for Luo Qixi are more about her body, while Luo Qixi’s feelings for this young man are closer to the care for her younger brother.
Looking at the helpless Lokixi, Noel felt mixed emotions.
Every day, he practiced swordsmanship, studied magic, and led a leisurely and comfortable life.
Looking at his own B-grade magic level, Noel actually had an illusion that he was invincible in this small place.
After a moment of contemplation, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and a bold idea sprouted in his mind – he wanted to become a powerful shadow master.
First, he had to subdue his slightly dull younger brother and make him his right-hand man, then challenge the Dragon God and turn him into his right-hand man to fight against the human god together. This would not only save Rudeus from being controlled, but also help the Dragon God to avenge his previous shame. He could also use this to gain powerful power of time and space and create a better future together.
In this plan, only human gods would be harmed.
However, to subdue the Dragon God, he must be defeated first.
Thinking of this, he silently examined his attribute panel:
[Characters]: Noel Greyrat
Age: 6 years old
[Strength]: G+
Agility: F
[Stamina]: G+
[Intelligence rating: B][Talent Display: God-killing Body (Primary Stage), Lone Brave (Primary Stage), Berserker][Skills: Proficient in advanced magic theory, Sword God Style swordsmanship (intermediate level)][Comprehensive evaluation: You have amazing growth potential. In your current state, you have already begun to have combat capabilities.]Noel opened the world observation interface, and a line of subtle text came into view:
[Space-time power reserve: 0/100 (not yet capable of capturing the world)]Unfortunately, except for his magic power, his other attributes are not satisfactory. I am afraid that even a blow from the Dragon God can easily end Nol’s journey.
However, before the current dilemma was resolved, news of Luo Qixi’s impending departure came one after another.
Although Noel wanted to keep Rudeus, he knew it was impossible. He had already mastered all the knowledge he needed to learn. Once the Water Saint magic was taught, there was nothing more for Lucky to teach. He had tried to ask Lucky to stay for a few more days on the grounds that Rudeus’ magic was not perfect, but was gently rejected.
“I also want to spend more time with you, but you also understand that I have taught you everything I know.” Luo Qixi forced a smile, with a hint of helplessness in her words.
Noel was silent, with a complicated expression. What Luo Qixi said was true, she really could not provide any more help.
Looking at Luo Qixi’s slightly lonely face, Noel finally acquiesced to her departure. But at the time of separation, he decided to give Luo Qixi a special parting gift.
Feeling the magic power surging in his body like an ocean, Noel’s eyes narrowed slightly.
In an instant, the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth seemed to be summoned and rushed into Noel’s body frantically. All the natural power was absorbed by him in one gulp.
Then, the dark magic power spread out like a tide, constantly compressing and condensing, and an ominous aura spread. A moment later, a dark seed appeared in Noel’s palm, and his lava-like red-gold pupils stared at the magic seed quietly.
This is a magic seed that can be implanted into another person’s body, containing endless possibilities and unknowns. When the magic power is transplanted, the power of the transplanted person will suddenly increase. However, the acquisition of this power is accompanied by risks, because the magic power of the two comes from the same source. In theory, if the transplanter intends, he can immediately deprive the life of the transplanted person.
After all, magic gone out of control is no joke.
Of course, Noel did not intend to give this original thing to Lokisi. What he gave her was a modified version that retained the original function but eliminated those dangerous side effects, although its power was greatly reduced.
However, what’s wrong with gaining power for no reason?
As for this magic power, although it is not huge, it is by no means insignificant, especially for Luo Qixi.
Although Luo Qixi is a Saint-level magician, her own magic power reserves are not abundant. Compared with ordinary people, her magic power may be abundant, but compared with those gifted magicians, it is much inferior.
Chapter 15 Luo Qixi, you don’t want to… (Old version)
As night fell quietly, Luo Qixi was busy packing her luggage. All signs indicated that she was about to embark on a journey and leave this place.
Noel stared at the petite girl, feeling reluctant to leave. However, the separation was inevitable, and he could not find any reason to keep her.
A breeze blew past the window, and Luo Qixi’s blue hair fluttered gently and fell to her waist. She looked lovely, exactly the type that Noel liked.
Loki carefully adjusted her wizard robe and straightened the brim of her hat.
In this quiet night, both of them fell into silence, and no one spoke.
Finally, Noel broke the silence: “Are you really leaving?” There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Luo Qixi’s eyes dimmed slightly, and she replied softly: “This is also helpless. I have nothing to teach you anymore.”
Hearing this, Noel sighed softly, and a trace of trance flashed across his young face.
He looked at the girl in white pajamas in front of him and forced a smile.
Although Luo Qixi has a slender figure and does not have those enchanting curves, her petite and exquisite appearance has a unique charm.
Noel turned his gaze to the window. The moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight filled the sky.
After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Thinking of this, his mood became heavier.
In this age without mobile phones, parting means a long separation.
Noel knew this very well, so he cherished every moment with Luo Qixi.
He decided to give the magic seed to Lokisi, which is the source of magic power and the bond between them.
As long as the demon species is there, they can locate each other’s coordinates within a certain range and avoid missing the opportunity to meet again.
Thinking of this, Noel took a deep breath and began to mobilize the magic power in his body. The four elements of wind, fire, water and earth quickly gathered together to form a surging wave of magic power.
Luo Qixi felt the magic power suddenly running wild around her, her eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at the boy in front of her in disbelief: “Noel, what are you doing?”
Noel just smiled and didn’t answer. He knew that the surge of magic power at this moment was far beyond Luo Qixi’s understanding.
The power of darkness materialized, and strands of magic power intertwined and entangled. Noel absorbed the surrounding wind, fire, water, and earth elements in order to make up for the loss in the process of condensing the magic seed.
In the center of Noel’s right palm, countless threads of magic power gathered and entangled, releasing an extremely ominous aura.
“This magic is so evil.” Luo Qixi frowned slightly. In fact, from the very beginning, she felt that the magic on Noel was weird.
Soon, a demon species emitting an ominous aura took shape.
This demon species was dark and deep, flickering with a dark light, and its mere appearance caused a chilly wind to blow around it.
Luo Qixi secretly guessed in her heart that this thing was definitely not a good thing.
Her guess was not wrong, because the main function of this demon seed was to control others. It was inspired by the “Tao Heart Demon Seed” in the online novel he read in his previous life, and this one he created was a simplified version. The function of the demon seed was simple and clear: first, it provided magic power and could convert the opponent’s magic power into its own magic power of the same source; second, it controlled the person being cast.
Of course, the demon species is not impossible to eradicate, but the conditions are more stringent, but it is by no means impossible.
Noel noticed that Luo Qixi was acting strange, so he deliberately showed a sinister smile to scare the girl. He wanted to show a creepy smile, but his handsome appearance made the smile less attractive.
Although it does seem weird, for some reason, it always feels like it’s not quite right.
The corners of his mouth turned up and his eyes narrowed slightly, but because of his cute look, the expression changed from weird to another style.
After all, cute little boys are always irresistible to girls.
Luo Qixi’s heart trembled at Noel’s smile. She quickly suppressed the urge to hug him, but her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
In Noel’s opinion, Loki’s reaction was out of fear of himself.
This made him feel extremely satisfied, as if he could use this expression to pretend to be a bad guy and scare others in the future.
Luo Qixi didn’t know about Noel’s strange thoughts. She was taking deep breaths. Finally, Luo Qixi controlled her inner impulse.
Seeing that Luo Qixi had regained her composure, Noel also breathed a sigh of relief. When explaining the effect of the magic seed, he said: “The magic seed can transform Master Luo Qixi’s magic source into the same type as mine, thereby dramatically increasing your magic power. But at the same time, your life and safety will be controlled by me. As long as I want, Master Luo Qixi’s life may disappear in an instant. Do you understand?”
Luo Qixi fell into deep thought. As she recalled the past silently, the boy’s seemingly innocent smile just now emerged in her mind. She couldn’t help but wonder if there was something sinister hidden behind that smile?
Because the smile was so cute, she failed to notice anything unusual in it, and instead different thoughts began to arise in her mind.
Thinking of this, Luo Qixi glanced at the smug Noel.
This guy seems to have misunderstood something.
Looking at Noel with a lovely smile, his soft golden hair gently fell beside his white neck, his golden eyes flashed with excitement, and the image of a calm and indifferent boy in the past was gone. Looking at Noel like this, Luo Qixi couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly.
It turned out that his usual indifference was just a disguise. It was obvious that this was Noel’s first time dealing with such things, as could be seen from his excited expression.
It’s a pity that Noel’s appearance is too outstanding, which makes the atmosphere that could have been vulgar and weird instantly turn into cute and funny.
It’s like a wretched yellow-haired guy approaches you and whispers, “Madam, you don’t want your husband to know, right?” However, the scene changes, and the person whispering turns into a little boy, which inexplicably adds a bit of humor.
Although the scene was funny, in order to prevent Noel from continuing to use this trick to “benefit”, no, to threaten others, Luo Qixi couldn’t help but walked up and tapped the young boy’s forehead lightly, saying unhappily: “Okay, you guy, you’ve been thinking about me.”
Noel rubbed his aching head and waved his hands in dismay. Luo Qixi stared at the magic seed tightly held in Noel’s right hand and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, a demon seed emitting an ominous aura was still entangled on Noel’s right hand.
Luo Qixi thought for a moment and then asked, “Can the magic seed really increase magic power?”
Noel nodded and said affirmatively: “Of course it’s true.”
Luo Qixi asked again: “So, is its effect really as you said?”
That undoubtedly means entrusting one’s own destiny to others.
Noel also nodded in agreement and said, “This is not an exaggeration, it is indeed the case…”
Luo Qixi interrupted the boy’s words, waved her hand gently, and looked at the boy with her bright eyes.
She said gently: “I trust you. You are a kind-hearted child.”
This is what Luo Qixi really said.
Noel curled her lips slightly, thinking to herself, the fact that she spoke so noblely showed that she had obviously not experienced the world and did not understand the complexity and sinisterness of human hearts.
Today, let Noel teach this girl a life lesson. He will then imprison her in the basement, light only a dim oil lamp, and let her stay close to Luo Qixi every day.
Chapter 16 Kiss and Roxy (Old Version)
Noel asked Luo Qixi curiously, “Master, aren’t you afraid at all?”
Luo Qixi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a lazy look, and she replied: “What is there to be afraid of? If Noel really wanted to do that, he would have done it long ago. After all, we have slept in the same bed for two years, and I have almost no defense against you.”
As she said, the two of them had spent countless nights together, and Luo Qixi had never really set up a defense. If she really had any intention, I’m afraid she would have succeeded long ago.
Noel scratched his head and said in confusion, “But what if this spell was only recently developed? After all, this is magic that can control others.”
Luo Qixi fell silent after hearing this, then a shy blush appeared on her face, and then turned into anger. She hit Noel’s head again, this time it was particularly hard.
Noel dodged Luo Qixi’s blow flexibly, and due to inertia, the girl’s hand gently touched his chest. Noel quickly grabbed Luo Qixi’s slender wrist with his backhand, and his golden eyes met Luo Qixi’s, and the girl’s figure was clearly reflected in his golden pupils.
Noel put away his joking expression and turned serious: “There is indeed a side effect, as I said before. But because you are my master, I will help you eliminate this side effect. However, doing so will greatly reduce its power. This is a special gift for you.”
Luo Qixi looked at Noel with complicated eyes. She had never thought that someone could create such a magical magic. Once such magic spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.
Noel handed the magic seed to Luo Qixi. As soon as the magic seed touched her wrist, it quickly turned into black silk thread and tightly wrapped around the girl.
The black silk thread quickly spread along Luo Qixi’s slender arms, and in a blink of an eye, she was tightly wrapped by the black silk thread.
Noel was somewhat surprised. However, Luo Qixi felt a power that did not belong to her raging wildly in her body. The magic power was violent and greedy, wantonly devouring her magic power and wandering around her body. Her tendons began to swell, and severe pain instantly spread to every inch of her nerves.
Luo Qixi frowned subconsciously, her face turned pale as paper, and she let out a cry of pain.
Seeing Lokisi in such pain, Noel frowned, his eyes showing worry. He noticed the crystal tears sliding down the girl’s cheeks. Lokisi’s weak posture made Noel feel guilty. He blamed himself for his negligence. It turned out that the source of magic to transform others was much more complicated than he imagined.
The magic power was colliding in Luo Qixi’s body, and due to the lack of proper guidance, it had nowhere to vent. This was completely contrary to Noel’s original intention, which was to optimize Luo Qixi’s magic source in a gentle way.
“Noel, it hurts so much.” Luo Qixi held the boy’s hand tightly. Her pain made Noel anxious.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Magic power can be transmitted through blood, and close contact may allow him to quickly stabilize Lokixi’s condition.
Without time to think, Noel resolutely kissed Luo Qixi’s cherry-like lips. Although Luo Qixi’s lips were soft and warm, Noel had no time to care about anything else at the moment. As they touched, the ominous magic began to slowly subside through Noel.
The originally violent magic power quickly became stable. With Noel as the “flood outlet”, the magic power gradually became docile. Noel reached out and gently stroked the girl’s body, and began to guide the magic power to where it gathered. Due to the existence of Noel as the original owner of the magic power, the magic power began to slowly and gently improve Luo Qixi’s physical condition.
Noel finally breathed a sigh of relief. He recalled the many animations he had watched, and the methods of replenishing mana left a deep impression on him. As the saying goes, existence is reasonable. Although the world is different, perhaps there are always some commonalities.
Let me make it clear in advance that he is not taking advantage of the opportunity by doing this.
Indeed, he was somewhat greedy for Luo Qixi’s body.
But, cough cough cough, there’s nothing wrong with a boy lusting after the body of a girl he likes, right?
As Noel made contact, the magic power continued to be transmitted. Soon, the severe pain disappeared, and instead, a stream of warmth spread along Luo Qixi’s right arm. This warm current flowed along the blood in the right arm to the whole body, and Luo Qixi’s face instantly flushed.
Because she felt too comfortable, she couldn’t help but let out an alluring moan. This sound made Noel subconsciously glance out the wooden door beside him, feeling a little uneasy.
Although he had used magic to tightly wrap the surroundings and blocked the sound from leaking out of the house, an inexplicable feeling of guilt still lingered in his heart.
After helping Luo Qixi survive the first crisis, Noel did not continue to take advantage of Luo Qixi.
Admittedly, Luo Qixi’s lips gave him a different touch, but the relationship between them had not yet reached the point where they could kiss.
Luo Qixi’s eyes were covered with a layer of mist. She was breathing heavily and looked like she was worn out. She didn’t know when, but the white T-shirt had been soaked with sweat and her whole body was emitting heat.
Noel couldn’t help but frowning as he watched this scene. Such a Lokisi possessed an indescribable charm, and her lethality was so great that he couldn’t help but pat her cheek gently.
Luo Qixi’s cheek feels great to the touch, whether it’s stroking or patting, it brings an indescribable wonderful feeling.
However, the act of slapping someone on the cheek itself was somewhat insulting, and seeing that Luo Qixi did not react, Noel withdrew his hand in dismay. Upon closer inspection, he found that Luo Qixi’s cheeks were flushed and her body was trembling slightly.
Noel fell silent and silently turned his eyes away from Luo Qixi.
He realized that he seemed to have gone a little too far.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to continue staring at Lokisi’s expression at the moment, but to pretend that everything was normal. He sat down beside the chair seriously. On the surface, he was staring, but in fact, he was feeling the flow of Lokisi’s magic.
He was surprised to find that his magic power and Loki’s magic power were almost the same, and those tiny differences were gradually merging.
Very good, this means the demon seed has been successfully implanted.
When Luo Qixi came to her senses, more than ten minutes had passed and she was still looking around in confusion.
Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?
She felt the magic power surging in her body, which was at least twice as strong as before. Luo Qixi’s mouth twitched slightly, just like a housewife who was struggling to make ends meet and suddenly received a huge sum of money. This was exactly how she felt at the moment.
The gift given by the apprentice was too heavy. Luo Qixi looked at Noel, who was sitting in the chair in deep thought, with a sad look.
When she came to her senses, she found that she was soaked in sweat and her whole body was sticky and uncomfortable.
Recalling some of the boy’s previous bold actions, Luo Qixi couldn’t help but blush.
At this moment, her heart was full of confusion and she didn’t know how to face Noel.
Did that count as a kiss before?
It should be considered, she thought to herself, silently pursing her lips, as if she could still feel the remaining warmth between her lips.
Sighing helplessly, she looked at Noel who was sitting upright and said softly, “I’m going to take a shower.”
After saying that, she opened the door and hurried downstairs.
When Luo Qixi left, Noel gently put down the book in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Luo Qixi did not pursue the previous matter. After all, this gift was given by him, and who would have thought that such a mistake would occur.
Chapter 17: Roxy reveals her true feelings (old version)
Noel Greyrat wants to become a powerful shadow warrior.
However, a key question arises: How should he embark on this path to becoming a powerful shadow master?
The first requirement is to have unparalleled fighting power, but unfortunately, in this world, swordsmanship is the mainstream. If he confronts the Dragon God head-on, he knows that he is no match for him. What’s more, he is still in the growth stage and his strength is not yet strong.
Just as Noel was lost in deep thought and planning for the future, a fresh and elegant breath accompanied by a gentle touch quietly came from behind.
That was Loki’s breath.
Noel suddenly opened his eyes and saw Luo Qixi hugging him, stroking his head with her soft hands.
“Do you want to hear my story?” Luo Qixi’s voice was gentle and delicate, and her hair gently brushed across Noel’s cheek, bringing a tingling feeling.
Noel nodded slightly. He had no reason to refuse Luo Qixi’s confession.
Luo Qixi opened her mouth slowly and recounted her past: “My life has not been satisfactory. I was born without the unique communication ability of my people – the ability to speak. After my parents discovered my defect, they confined me to the house. They began to learn characters for me, but when I first stepped out of the house and communicated with the children in the village, I still cried bitterly because of my difference.” A trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, with a hint of sadness.
“It was not until the magician Bradicand who traveled to the village appeared that I was able to get a glimpse of the vastness of the world. I followed him to learn basic magic, but after I mastered the elementary level, my master suddenly left without saying goodbye.”
“As a member of the feared demon tribe Migrud, I have experienced hardships because of my natural blue hair (which looks green under certain lighting conditions). According to the legend of this world, four hundred years ago there was a Spreud with green hair and a ruby ​​on his forehead who went on a rampage to slaughter his own kind, including his own family. As a result, green hair has become a symbol of fear in the world, and even parents use it to scare their children.”
“When I was fourteen, I embarked on a journey without telling my family and registered as an adventurer. But because our family’s appearance does not change after the age of fourteen, even though I was seventeen, I was still treated as a child by adventurers. It took me a lot of effort to finally find my home. Not long after, I met my companions for the first time. They were the horse-headed man Nokbara, the pig-headed man Blaze, and the captain Hakendilu. Time passed quickly. We worked together for three years and were finally promoted to B-level adventurers.”
“However, happy times are always short-lived. During a mission, we encountered a magical disaster and our captain, Hakendilu, was unfortunately hit by a boulder and died on the spot. Without our leader, our team disbanded. That was the first time I faced the impermanence of life and the cruelty of reality. When I reported the matter to the local guild, their indifferent reaction made me deeply reflect on the value of life.” When Luo Qixi said this, she couldn’t help but sigh, her expression a little dazed.
“Alone again, I sat lost at the port, looking at the vast sea. Finally, I boarded a ship to another continent – Milis. This world has experienced three wars between humans and demons. Although it is now in peace, the towns I go to are still discriminated against. Fortunately, the port town I arrived at did not have too serious discrimination. There, I met a guild lady who helped me a lot. I was also invited to join the guild, but after careful consideration, I decided to continue my adventurer career and even took out a loan to buy a new wand.”
“After I was promoted to an A-rank adventurer, I met a group of adventurers who commissioned me to infiltrate a lolita-loving merchant and investigate his illegal transactions. I wanted to refuse due to the risk of losing my virginity, but when I heard that the reward would be generous, as much as four times, I agreed. After I tied my hair into twin ponytails, I successfully attracted the attention of the merchant, but was also ridiculed by my peers and was often forced to change clothes. When the investigation came to an end, I was discovered by the merchant, knocked unconscious and locked in a dungeon. There, I met other victims. We broke the window, got support from our companions, and were finally rescued. After that, I received a commission from the guild to escort the victims back to Milicion.”
“After arriving in Milicion, I encountered many setbacks due to racial issues and local beliefs. I was even attacked by a knight who mistakenly thought I had abducted an orc girl. From the orc girl’s parents, I learned about the general situation of Milicion. Although I was the one who was discriminated against, in order not to cause trouble to others, I chose to stay away from the crowd. Due to racial discrimination and other differential treatments, my travel expenses gradually ran out. When I couldn’t continue to the next destination, I met May from my home continent by chance, and she invited me to work in the tavern.”
“After bidding farewell to Mei, Gadarf, and the tavern owner, I set out on my journey again, my goal being the Kingdom of Asura.”
“In the Kingdom of Wang Long, I met a bard who was also a demon. He was eager to use me as a subject for his creation. By chance, when I was escorting a caravan, I accidentally killed a thief. Due to the death of the captain in the past, I had a deeper understanding of life. Therefore, I felt guilty about my actions and kept casting healing magic on the thief who had lost half of his body. After leaving the Kingdom of Wang Long, we each embarked on a new journey.”
“After arriving at my teacher’s hometown, the Kingdom of Asura, I received a mission from the guild and went to my teacher’s home to urge him to complete the book “Traveling Around the World”. With my encouragement, he regained his passion for writing. Afterwards, I continued my journey and went to the Magic University to study for four years, specializing in magic. Under the guidance of my master Jinus, I learned the Water Saint-level magic ‘Haole Cumulonimbus’ and felt that my magic had reached perfection. However, due to my youthful vigor, I had an argument with my master and parted ways unhappily. Afterwards, I came to the Fitoya territory to look for a job and was fortunate enough to become the magic teacher of the Noel family.”
“This is me. Isn’t it ridiculous? And childish too.” Luo Qixi’s expression was a little gloomy.
Noel blinked his eyes, trying to think of some cheesy love words, but soon gave up this unrealistic idea. He gently stroked Luo Qixi’s forehead, showing his serious but lovely smile, and said: “How could it be? In my opinion, Master Luo Qixi is very brave and can overcome any difficulties. Even if he encounters setbacks, he can face them bravely.”
“Really?” Luo Qixi’s originally lost expression gradually eased, and she tried to force out a bright smile, “Anyway, thank you.”
“So, Master, do you like my gift?” Noel leaned close to Luo Qixi’s ear and whispered.
Luo Qixi hit Noel lightly and said expressionlessly: “You are too close.” Then, she sighed, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and murmured to herself: “How could I not like it.”
Chapter 18 Shy Lokishi (Old Version)
Magic power is undoubtedly the core factor to measure a magician’s potential and achievements. Although Luo Qixi has excellent magic skills, she is limited to the level of a water saint magician due to the total amount of magic power. In addition, there are many geniuses around her, including some evil ones, which makes her feel inferior deep in her heart.
Originally, Luo Qixi only regarded teaching magic as an ordinary way to earn extra money, but she never thought that she would get unexpected surprises in the process.
When she felt the violent beating of the magic seed in her heart, a continuous stream of magic power began to gather. This magic power was as deep as the night and pure and flawless. It was closely connected with Noel’s magic power. As long as she got close, she could sense the boy’s presence.
Looking at Noel again, Luo Qixi’s cheeks flushed inexplicably. The boy in front of her looked so attractive. Although she didn’t have the power of life and death as Noel said, she always felt that she would not refuse the boy’s request.
Looking at Luo Qixi with a slightly red cheek, Noel was confused, not understanding why she was so shy all of a sudden. Luo Qixi took a deep breath, and the tip of her nose was filled with the light and elegant scent of Noel. In her eyes, this scent was like a branch of plum blossoms in the cold winter, exuding an irresistible temptation. Although she knew that there was danger hidden behind this temptation, she still couldn’t help but want to get closer.
Luo Qixi tried to calm her thoughts, but found that they were becoming more and more confused. She covered her red cheeks in anger and hurriedly left the room.
In the next few days, Luo Qixi was always dodging, which made Noel feel very embarrassed. He couldn’t help but complain in a low voice, it was just a kiss, just a small intimate gesture, why did he react like this? Luo Qixi’s abnormal attitude made Noel a little at a loss.
Even when they slept at night, silence filled the air between them. However, after falling asleep, Luo Qixi’s hands would always unconsciously grope, and she would stick to him more tightly than before, often waking Noel up. Noel was in a mixture of pain and pleasure.
Time flies by, and no matter how reluctant you are, you have to move on. On this day, after completing the teaching of Water Saint magic, Luo Qixi is about to embark on a new journey.
Bathed in the morning sunshine, Loki looked at the sparrows singing in the distance and whispered to herself, “It’s the last day.” She turned around and faced everyone with a smile, while Noel yawned expressionlessly. At the same time, Rudeus was playing and laughing with Sylphy.
Two years have passed and everyone has grown up quietly.
The little boy has now grown to her chest. In the near future, he will become more mature, handsome, and powerful. In Luo Qixi’s body, magic power surges with the rhythm of her heartbeat, and this vast power is slowly penetrating into every inch of her skin.
However, separation is coming, and she can no longer continue to guide his growth. Looking at the calm Noel in front of her, Luo Qixi couldn’t help but sigh. She also wanted to accompany him for a few more years and teach him more knowledge, but all this is in vain, for both him and her.
She took a deep breath, as if to engrave the elegant aura of the boy in her heart forever. That aura had already merged with her. Then, she said solemnly: “Today, I will show you the last lesson – the Water Saint-level magic “Haole Cumulonimbus”. I will only perform it once, Noel, you must learn it.” Although she tried to stay calm, there was still a tremor in her voice.
Noel was silent for a moment, finally accepting this reality, and nodded silently.
When the group walked out of the house, they were greeted by a pastoral scenery. They walked along the winding path, through the golden rice fields, and across the land, there was a vast grassland. Not far away, several sturdy trees stood with lush branches and leaves.
The breeze blew gently, the grass danced in the wind, and an unknown flower fragrance drifted in the wind, gently brushing everyone’s lapels. Luo Qixi emphasized again: “You must learn it, I will only use it once!”
Noel stepped forward, and his magic power surged, transforming into a huge black round shield, protecting Rudeus and Sylphy. Although Loki was surprised, she didn’t say much, just exhaled lightly, calmed down, and continued to move forward.
“Great water spirit, son of the Thunder Emperor who soared into the sky, please fulfill my wish…” Although Luo Qixi’s voice was soft, it echoed very clearly in this vast wilderness. As she moved, the magic wand in her hand glowed with a blue glow, and magic power slowly poured into it, leading the surrounding elements to gradually take shape.
The dark clouds in the sky gathered quietly, the blue sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sunlight disappeared without a trace.
The rain fell silently.
The drizzle is like silk, falling from the sky.
The hazy drizzle continued, and the raindrops fell lightly from the sky.
Raindrops brushed Luo Qixi’s cheeks, her blue hair fluttered in the wind, and her unchanging magician’s robe fluttered in the wind.
[Granting the grace of violence],
[Show your supreme power to humble things].
A strong wind suddenly arose, sweeping across the earth violently. The air currents were churning, thunder gathered among the dark clouds, and purple lightning flashed with destructive light.
Thunder is undoubtedly the most terrifying force in nature.
Inexplicably, the scene of a cultivator overcoming a thunder tribulation in a novel from his previous life emerged in Noel’s mind. At this moment, he finally understood its meaning. The most horrifying force in nature is none other than thunder.
[God’s hammer strikes the anvil, and fear is revealed],
May the floods rage and submerge the earth.
[Heavy rain],
[Swipe, rush, and cleanse everything it encounters],
【O Cumulonimbus, show yourself! 】
As Lokixi finished her words, the wand in her hand burst into a brilliant blue light.
The rain came in sheets and the wind swept everything away.
Thunder roared and rain poured down. In a flash, a huge deep pit was blasted out in the grass ahead.
Such power can be called Water Saint-level magic, but in Noel’s eyes, it is just that.
This power is not enough.
Luo Qixi’s clothes had long been soaked by the rain, but the material of the robe was strange, and although it was wet, the clothes inside were safe and sound.
Although the caster is usually not harmed by his own magic, such a large-scale release of magic power is bound to have some impact.
It was drizzling outside, but the invisible barrier released by Noel blocked all the raindrops. They flowed slowly along the sides and finally dripped into the soil.
Luo Qixi gently adjusted the brim of her hat that was a little askew due to the wind, and walked towards where Noel was.
Rudeus was quite shocked by the power of the magic just displayed, and so was Sylphy. Magic of this intensity was already able to cause significant changes in the terrain in a small area.
Chapter 19 At this moment, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods (old version)
“It’s your turn, Noel.” Lokixi smiled and looked gently at Noel, who was a head shorter than her.
Noel was silent for a while, and finally spoke: “If I tell you that I don’t know this spell, will you stay?” He knew that once he learned this spell, it would mean Luo Qixi’s departure.
Noel didn’t know many people in this world, and Luo Qixi’s departure would undoubtedly make him feel a little sad. Although she didn’t sleep well at night, although she always liked to brag, and although she was not impeccable. But Noel liked her hair, her body odor, and her soft hands. Thinking of her leaving soon, he couldn’t help but feel a little reluctant.
Hearing this, Luo Qixi was slightly startled, then the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a faint smile, that smile was like the spring breeze in April, gently brushing across Noel’s face. She tapped Noel’s head gently and said slowly: “Of course I can’t stay. Traveling is to become stronger, Noel, you should understand this. To survive in this world, strong strength is our guarantee. I am not a genius like you, I am just an ordinary person, I also need to find a way to become stronger, I can’t always rely on you.”
Noel sighed, but didn’t say anything more.
Rudius on the side blinked his eyes and looked at Luo Qixi’s delicate face. He had never seen Master Luo Qixi smile so gently. In Rudius’s opinion, although Luo Qixi was not as expressionless as Noel, she did not smile very often. And the gentle smile she showed at this moment was something he had never seen before.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Rudius fell into deep thought. Needless to say, there must be an unknown story between the two. He thought for a moment and sighed silently. Rudius was not a person who liked to pry into other people’s privacy, but Noel was his eldest brother after all, so it was reasonable for him to care about his family.
After Luo Qixi left, Noel would definitely be sad for a while. Rudius thought, why not take this opportunity to lend him his shoulder to lean on. Of course, he had no ill intentions, nor did he want to take the opportunity to retaliate or expose Noel’s past. He just wanted to express his concern and support. After all, it is always natural for family members to comfort each other when they are sad.
Noel was completely unaware of Rudius’s sudden thought. He took out the magic wand that Luo Qixi had given to the three people earlier. This magic wand, as a token of recognition between master and apprentice, is given by every mentor to the apprentice for the first time to learn to cast spells. It is not a priceless treasure. It is short in size, only about one and a half feet long, and the material is not rare. There is only a striking red magic stone inlaid on the top.
He slowly exhaled a dull breath, his face became solemn and focused, and the surging magic power in his body surged like a tide, flowing to every corner of his body along with his blood.
The dark magic power wrapped around Noel’s body. This power was wild and unruly, constantly gathering until he tightly grasped the wand in his right hand, and the magic power poured into the wand like a wild horse running out of control.
“Great water spirit,” Noel’s voice was soft, but it seemed to contain incredible power. As his words fell, the dark clouds that had originally dispersed gathered in an instant, and the sky became gloomy and depressing.
Rudeus, who was far away, could not help but gasp in amazement when he saw this scene. Even Lokisi showed a surprised look, staring bitterly at the young man who looked like a monarch.
The wind raged around him, his golden hair fluttered in the wind, and there was no emotion in his red-gold eyes. The wind became his most loyal guardian. With every wave of his wand, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the wind elements in nature seemed to be summoned and gathered towards him.
Noel’s slightly childish voice echoed in the wilderness. Despite the howling wind, his voice could penetrate everything and spread to every corner of the plain.
Majestic and solemn, these are the two words that come to mind when Loki looks at the young man in front of him.
“Son of the Thunder Emperor who soars into the sky, please fulfill my wish and bring me a fierce gift!”
The red magic stone shone with dazzling light. As Noel waved the magic wand again, the light of the magic wand became brighter and brighter. The bright red light spread everywhere, and the air began to fluctuate violently, with strong winds blowing all around and making rustling sounds.
“Show your supreme power to the humble existence!” When the young man chanted the words: “God’s hammer roars on the anvil, and your fear is revealed”, the sky suddenly darkened, and the wind raged with a deafening roar. The trees in the distance bent in the storm, and the wind blew on the boy’s cheek like a sharp blade. However, Noel felt unprecedented excitement in this chaos, as if at this moment, he was shoulder to shoulder with God.
The surging magic power surged out like a tide, pouring wantonly into the wand he held tightly. The magic stone on the top of the wand began to crack slightly due to carrying too much magic power, which was a sign of power overload.
The sky and the earth seemed to have lost their color, the sun and the moon concealed their brilliance, and at this moment, Noel became the master of this land.
A drizzle began to fall, then turned into a downpour, and the strong wind swept the rain across the grassland. It seemed that the only thing left in the world was the symphony of wind and rain. Noel murmured: “Let the heavy rain wash away all obstacles.” Then he shouted: “Cumulonimbus, show your power!”
The magic stone on the wand glowed with a blood-red, star-like light, illuminating the entire forest. Then, with a crisp crack, the magic stone turned into crystals and scattered all over the ground.
The magic was accomplished, but this scene was far beyond the scope of Water Saint-level magic.
The mountains were wailing, the wind was still blowing hard, the rain was pouring down, thunder and lightning were gathering in the clouds, and thick lightning streaked across the sky, interweaving into a horrifying picture.
At that moment, heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, the strong wind turned into a tornado, sweeping through the forest, mud and rocks gushed out, the heavy rain washed away everything in sight, and the thunder and lightning turned everything in sight into nothingness.
The scene was like the end of the world. The rain continued, thunder and lightning struck, and thick lightning kept striking the earth. The only sounds in the world were rain and thunder.
Finally, the wind died down and the rain stopped. The dark clouds gradually dispersed, but the drizzle continued. In front of Noel, everything no longer existed. The earth was in ruins, the trees were destroyed, the rocks were turned into powder, and the land had been completely flattened. The trees were charred in an instant, the rocks were crushed into powder, and the dust was flying. All of this turned into nothingness at the moment of thunder.
“This kind of power can probably only be achieved by the legendary Water King level.” Luo Qixi whispered softly, her heart filled with shock.
She felt that words were powerless and difficult to describe exactly what the boy had done.
Chapter 20: Farewell and New Challenges (Old Version)
Rudius was already frightened out of his wits. Compared to the disastrous consequences brought about by the magic cast by Lokisi, Noel’s magic was simply a portrayal of the end of the world.
He simply couldn’t imagine how many casualties would be caused if such magic was released in a densely populated area such as the royal capital.
Sylphy’s face turned pale instantly, and she staggered back a few steps. Magic had always been fun and interesting to her, but the doomsday scene before her really frightened her.
Noel stared blankly at the plain that had become desolate due to magic and the broken magic stone for a long time.
Then, he sighed, turned around and gave Luo Qixi a rare smile. This time, his smile was no longer so forced, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking both natural and charming.
Noel walked up and gave Luo Qixi a big hug. He whispered, “Remember to write to me. You know my address.”
Feeling the girl’s petite body, Noel knew that this might be the last time they would hug each other in the short term.
Luo Qixi was a little confused. She stared blankly at Noel in her arms, not knowing what to do.
Noel continued, “Take good care of yourself. If you encounter a problem, don’t rush to solve it. You can write to me and I will find a way to help you.”
Luo Qixi tried to joke, “I am your master, why would I ask my apprentice for help?” As she said that, she smiled and hugged Noel tightly with her hands.
However, Noel ignored her joke and said seriously, “Promise me, don’t be stubborn.”
Luo Qixi looked into those golden eyes. She had never seen Noel look so serious before.
Sighing helplessly, Luo Qixi had no choice but to nod.
Rudeus and Sylphy looked at each other and walked silently to a secluded corner.
Sylphy looked at the two people hugging each other in confusion and said, “I always feel that Master Luo Qixi seems to have some special feelings for Noel.”
Rudeus subconsciously showed a lewd smile, but then realized that Sylphy was still beside him, and quickly restrained his expression. He pretended to be deep and said to Sylphy: “You will understand later.”
Sylphy tilted her head slightly and whispered, “Rudy, I always have a feeling that you have bad intentions.”
Noel held Luo Qixi’s hand and remained unusually silent along the way.
The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the sun poured down, gently enveloping everyone.
Rudeus’s gaze wandered between Lokisi and Noel.
The two just walked quietly without saying a word.
The journey was not far and I was back home in no time.
Senis was humming an unknown tune with a cheerful look on her face, watering the flowers carefully with a kettle in her hand.
Seeing everyone coming back from afar, Senis greeted Luo Qixi happily: “Everyone has worked hard, what would you like to eat?”
Then, she keenly noticed the subtle atmosphere in the team: Noel was holding Roxy’s hand tightly, while Rudeus and Sylphy were following from a distance.
She asked curiously, “What happened to you?”
After entering the house, Luo Qixi let go of Noel’s hand and let out a long breath: “I want to talk to you about the end of magic teaching.”
Senis’ smile froze instantly, and the kettle in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
The whole family sat together in the living room.
Paul looked at Luo Qixi solemnly: “You mean, you are leaving?”
Loki nodded slightly, and stroked the hair beside her ear unconsciously, with a serious expression: “Noel is a genius, Rudeus is also, and even Sylphy’s talent is above mine.” When she said this, she showed a slightly bitter smile.
Paul and Senice exchanged glances, but neither spoke.
Luo Qixi continued: “I really like you all. I feel very comfortable here. You are all such nice people. This tutoring experience can be said to be the warmest time in my adventure career.”
Having said this, Luo Qixi bowed deeply. Paul wanted to stop her, but Luo Qixi gently waved her hand to stop him.
“To be honest, I really like you all. But I have taught you everything I know, and it’s time to embark on a new journey. After all, as their master, I don’t want to be left far behind by my apprentices one day in the future.” Luo Qixi said slowly.
Noel couldn’t help but sigh when he heard this. This might be exactly what Luo Qixi was thinking deep down.
Luo Qixi also has her own self-esteem and pride.
Paul and Senis fell silent one after another. After a while, Senis finally spoke: “Since you have made a decision, I have nothing to say, but…”
She walked forward, gently helped Luo Qixi up, hugged the girl tightly, and said slowly: “You have already become a member of our family. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can always ask us for help. The door here is always open to you.”
A warm feeling surged in Luo Qixi’s heart, and Paul touched his nose gently, took out a bag of heavy gold coins from his arms and handed it to Luo Qixi.
He stared at Luo Qixi and said sincerely: “Thank you for your careful teaching over the years. The time I spent with you was extremely pleasant. You are undoubtedly an excellent teacher.”
The house was filled with a warm yet slightly sad atmosphere; the melancholy before parting was always unavoidable.
In the end, everyone bid farewell to Luo Qixi reluctantly.
Paul also gave Luo Qixi a chestnut horse from his home. Although Luo Qixi repeatedly refused, it was still forced into her hands.
Noel quietly watched Luo Qixi gradually moving away, until her figure completely disappeared from his sight, he slowly withdrew his gaze.
“Well, it’s time to start.” Noel whispered to himself.
He has already mastered Water Saint-level magic, and the next challenge is the field of swordsmanship.
On the afternoon of the day that Roxy left, Noel devoted himself to self-cultivation in Sword Art Online.
In the world of Sword Art Online, when the morning light first appeared, Takumi Kiritani had already gotten up, dressed and washed.
In his spare time, he has mastered four languages ​​and passed TOEFL and IELTS in various countries. With these diplomas alone, he has surpassed most people.
However, Smart Hosting is not very interested in learning, it is more interested in the world of games.
But he is gifted and can handle anything with ease and easily surpass everyone else.
Noel is a confident and conceited person. Now that he has traveled through time, he vows to do his best.
He hopes to improve his swordsmanship by killing monsters and leveling up in the game, which will give back to his real self.
Although the idea was good, unfortunately, the hosting did not work entirely according to his wishes.
Out of desperation, Noel had to operate the machine himself. Therefore, he not only devoted himself to learning foreign languages, but also mastered programming skills. The purpose of learning programming was nothing more than to explore and create small flaws in the program.
Those who follow the rules may still be addicted to the game itself, but the real masters have already started designing their own game auxiliary tools.
Of course, he knew that he couldn’t make a living by exploiting these program loopholes alone. After all, his original intention was to hone his swordsmanship skills through the role he played in the game (sao), rather than relying on plug-ins to do whatever he wanted in the game world.
Chapter 21 Yuuki Asuna (old version)
Noel is not a person who doesn’t distinguish between the serious and the minor; he just prefers to take multiple safeguards just in case.
Besides, being idle is a waste of time. You can’t always stay at home playing games.
He first learned C language, and then various codes. To be honest, programming is really complicated, and it took him a whole month to get started.
After all, the sword world is now in the 21st century, and most people entrust their wealth to the Internet, where various social platforms and digital transactions are prevalent.
This also makes the Internet a broad stage.
The digital age has made many things almost transparent, of course, provided you have the relevant knowledge.
This is also the reason why Takumi Kiritani wants to learn computer knowledge.
He glanced at his phone. The time was six in the morning, Saturday, June 4, 2014.
Looking outside, the living room and corridor were immersed in darkness. As a mother, Kiritani Midori was undoubtedly a failure. Since she learned that Kiritani Takumi was good at cooking, she went home less and less frequently, and later only went home once a week, devoting herself to her career.
Despite the chill in the morning, he still went out for a morning run in short sleeves.
When passing by a breakfast shop, I had breakfast there and then walked towards Yuuki Asuna’s house.
Yuuki Asuna usually leaves home at seven o’clock, so if you go there now, you might run into her by chance.
Yuuki Asuna’s home is quite spacious. Her mother, Yuuki Kyoko, is a university professor. She has extremely high requirements for her children’s education. She arranges a lot of after-school tutoring for Asuna every weekend and holiday.
Today is no exception.
However, today Yuuki Asuna (12 years old) is no longer so opposed to the life arranged by her mother, because she met a very handsome boy some time ago.
He was really handsome, the most handsome face she had ever seen.
The boy was about ten years old (the speed of time in the Sword World was four times that of the World of No Job), slightly shorter than her, with beautiful short blond hair and delicate features. Although he looked a little immature, it was foreseeable that he would become an extremely handsome man in the future. His rare golden eyes were unforgettable when she looked at him. Yuuki Asuna could not help but feel nervous. In fact, she had been studying in a girls’ school since she was a child, and she had very few opportunities to interact with boys. Especially when she met such a handsome boy, she instinctively looked at him a few more times.
It was these glances that caught the other’s attention, and their first encounter took place in such a situation. However, after talking to the boy for a few words, she found that he was an extremely interesting boy.
Although Yuuki Asuna never complained to her mother, she had some troubles in her heart when she looked at the dense schedule. However, due to her long-term focus on studies, she was not very popular in school, and many things could only be accumulated in her heart.
After chatting with the young boy Takumi Kiritani for a while and learning his name, when the topic turned to her daily life, she couldn’t help but start complaining: “You don’t know, my mother is really strict. She never allows me to have my own interests and hobbies, and she always nags about my grades.” Yuuki Asuna was like a little girl, complaining about her mother without any concealment.
As they chatted, they soon arrived at the entrance of the cram school. Takumi Kiritani took a curious look and asked casually, “Is Asuna taking classes here?”
Yuuki Asuna’s cheeks flushed instantly. She looked at the boy’s innocent eyes and was a little speechless. Seeing that the girl remained silent, he shook his head in surprise.
“How can you call someone by their first name when you first meet them?” Yuuki Asuna muttered. In Japan, calling someone by their first name often means that they are very close. She has never heard such a name from the opposite sex, and even rarely heard it from the same sex, because her social circle is really small, and basically only her family would call her that.
Confused, Kiritani asked, “Don’t you like me calling you that?”
“It’s not that I don’t like you, but I just think that we just met not long ago, so it’s not appropriate to call you that.” Yuuki Asuna trotted to the entrance of the cram school and waved goodbye to Kiritani Takumi. “I’m studying English, I have to go up quickly, otherwise I’ll be late.” Kiritani Takumi nodded and left. From then on, he would deliberately take a detour to meet Yuuki Asuna every morning, and the two would chat about daily trivialities while walking.
Asuna Yuuki is pure-hearted and would occasionally mention her troubles at home at first, but more often than not, she listened with curiosity to Takumi Kiritani’s stories about his heroic deeds in the game.
This day was no exception. Takumi Kiritani stood at the door of Yuuki Asuna’s house early in the morning, holding two bottles of drinks in his hands. When he saw Asuna coming out of the house, he waved to her. Seeing this, Asuna quickly pulled him aside and whispered, “My mother is inside, you have to speak softly. If she knew that I made a strange male friend, she would definitely be unhappy.”
Kiritani Takumi thought for a moment, and suddenly suggested: “I have an idea that will make your mother happy to let me stay with you, and you won’t have to go to that cram school anymore.”
“Hmm?” Yuuki Asuna scratched her head. Although she felt amused, she still suppressed her laughter and asked in a serious tone, “Tell me about it.”
Kiritani Takumi looked at her, obviously seeing that she didn’t believe it.
“I can be your English tutor,” said Takumi Kiritani seriously, “and besides English, I also have no problem with French and German. Of course, my best language is Chinese.”
“Puchi.” Asuna Yuuki couldn’t help laughing. She pointed at Takumi Kiritani, who was slightly shorter than her, and then pointed at herself, as if she wanted to pinch his cheek, but he dodged her expressionlessly.
Takumi Kiritani casually spoke a few words in English, and then switched to Chinese, French, and German fluently, leaving Asuna Yuuki stunned.
She pointed at Takumi Kiritani with a stiff expression and suddenly asked, “Which school do you go to?”
Kiritani Takumi looked at her strangely and replied, “What kind of education? I taught myself all this. By the way, I have already obtained a bachelor’s degree from university through self-study examinations.”
Yuuki Asuna fell into deep thought. She pondered silently, and suddenly it dawned on her. No wonder this guy had so much time to play games. It turned out that he had already completed what others were supposed to do in advance.
When she thought of this, tears welled up in Yuuki Asuna’s eyes and overflowed.
She thought to herself that if she had that talent, her mother would probably smile with great joy in her dreams.
After coughing a few times, Yuuki Asuna calmed down, put on a serious expression, and asked solemnly: “Is there any way to free me from the constraints of the cram school?”
Chapter 22 Yuuki Family Tutor (Old Version)
Isn’t the point that you are not allowed to attend cram schools?
Very good, I have seen through you, Yuuki Asuna, it turns out you are this kind of person.
The corner of Kiritani Takumi’s mouth twitched slightly, but thinking that children speak without restraint and adults do not remember the faults of children, he did not care about the mistake of the yellow-haired girl.
He coughed lightly and said faintly: “I can be your tutor.”
Yuuki Asuna widened her eyes and stared at Kiritani Takumi. She said, “Are you sure my mother will believe you?”
A sharp light flashed in Kiritani Takumi’s eyes, and he said confidently: “I believe that gold will shine wherever it goes.”
Asuna Yuuki fell into deep thought, thinking about possible plans.
She asked the boy again with some uncertainty: “Are you sure you can do it?”
Kiritani Takumi thought about it and really didn’t expect that he would fail, so he nodded confidently: “No problem.”
Looking at the boy’s shameless look, and thinking of what he had said before, her mind couldn’t help but become active. She gritted her teeth, thought of the countless days and nights she had been forced to stay in the cram school for tutoring, and made up her mind to give it a try despite the risk of being scolded.
So Yuuki Asuna turned around, grabbed the boy and started walking back.
“Hey, Asuna-chan, what’s wrong with you? Aren’t you going to class?” Kiritani Takumi was dragged away by the girl.
“Go and tell your mother first what class you want to take.”
It can be seen that Yuuki Asuna is not the kind of studious student.
The doorbell rang and a somewhat stern voice came from inside the house.
“Who is it?” Soon the door was opened, and out came a lady in her thirties with short hair, who looked like an extremely mean lady.
The moment she saw Yuuki Asuna, her expression became gloomy.
It gives people a harsh first impression.
“Asuna, why didn’t you go to the cram school?” Kyoko Yuuki asked with a sullen face.
You can see that she is in a bad mood.
Asuna Yuuki shrank her neck subconsciously. It can be seen that Asuna was extremely afraid of her mother when she was a child.
But when she thought of the little friend behind her, she plucked up the courage to say, “Mom, I have something to discuss with you.” After saying that, she revealed the yellow hair behind her.
Kyoko Yuuki was stunned. She saw Takumi Kiritani behind her. She thought for a moment and suddenly asked, “You are the child prodigy, right?”
Kiritani Takumi was slightly surprised. He asked, “Have you seen me?”
Yuuki Kyoko didn’t say anything. She glanced at Yuuki Asuna, made way for her, and said bluntly, “Come in.”
Asuna Yuuki subconsciously let the boy in. She hid behind Takumi Kiritani, and it was obvious that she was scared.
Takumi Kiritani found it funny, but didn’t take it too seriously. He walked into the house carelessly and entered the entrance in his slippers.
The Yuki family’s house is very large and luxuriously decorated. Most of the facilities in the house have a simple and ancient charm, giving people the feeling of a scholarly family at first glance.
Kyoko Yuuki brought Takumi Kiritani to the living room, pointed to the chairs opposite and asked them to sit down, “What would you like to drink?”
“Boiled water, thank you.” Takumi Kiritani had no embarrassment and stated his request openly.
Kyoko Yuki nodded slightly and went to the kitchen to get a glass of boiled water.
While she was away, Yuuki Asuna leaned close to his ear and said, “Is everything okay?”
Kiritani Takumi patted his chest and said, “No problem, I’ve passed the IELTS, so why can’t I teach you?”
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.
Kyoko Yuki quickly walked up to the boy with a glass of boiled water and placed the water in front of him.
Kiritani Takumi said, “Thank you.”
Kyoko Yuki walked to the other side and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Takumi Kiritani subconsciously looked at Asuna Yuuki, and Asuna Yuuki also looked at him.
The two blinked.
OK, OK.
Is this girl so cowardly?
Noticing the abnormality of the two people, Kyoko Yuki frowned subconsciously.
Kiritani Takumi coughed a few times and said, “Madam, I want to be Yuuki Asuna’s tutor. I will teach her English. At the same time, my French and German are also good, so I can teach her other language subjects at the same time.”
Kyoko Yuuki was silent, tapping her fingers on the table.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Kiritani Takumi could only say a few words casually.
But unexpectedly, Kyoko Yuki also started chatting with Takumi Kiritani.
“Why do you want to be a tutor?” Yuuki Kyoko spoke very quickly, but her pronunciation was very standard. This sentence was said in English.
After thinking for a while, Takumi Kiritani said, “I think your daughter and I are destined to be together, and I just happen to want a part-time job to make some money.”
“So, what can you teach?”
“I can teach English, German, French, and Chinese. Other topics in middle school and high school are not a problem for me. You can rest assured to leave your child to me.”
Kyoko Yuki thought for a moment and continued, “Is German or French both OK?” This sentence was said in French.
“Of course.” Takumi Kiritani also responded in French.
“So, how much is your salary?” Kyoko Yuki continued.
But the mere fact that she spoke almost made him laugh.
Because Kyoko Yuki speaks Chinese, and it’s very poor.
Kiritani Takumi suppressed his laughter and said bluntly: “My expected salary is 5,000 yen per hour.”
It’s a rare opportunity to hear my familiar mother tongue after such a long time. As a Chinese, it’s impossible for me to be unfamiliar with my own language no matter how I speak it.
Takumi Kiritani’s pronunciation is very standard, so standard that even Kyoko Yuki felt a little embarrassed.
After a dry cough, she said, “Okay, I can let you teach Asuna. I will test her every month. If she doesn’t meet my deadline, then your mission will be over.”
Kyoko Yuki had her reasons for doing this. Although the boy was a child prodigy, his knowledge reserves were completely different from teaching and educating people.
A knowledgeable person is not necessarily suitable to educate others, and similarly, a person who is suitable to educate others is not necessarily knowledgeable.
The Yuki family is not short of money. On the contrary, they are very rich, but they pay more attention to education.
Especially when it comes to the education of your own children.
The reason why I agreed to the boy’s proposal was also to observe him.
She actually knew the name of the child prodigy a long time ago. She had seen this person on TV before and sneered at the time, thinking that it was a gimmick made up by the media to increase traffic. But now that she saw him, she didn’t expect that the rumors were actually true, which surprised her.
But even though she was surprised, she could still understand it to some extent.
There are indeed such people in this era, and the young man is undoubtedly a genius. Since the rumors are not false, we can at least win over this young man.
Thinking of this, she looked at the boy with yellow hair.
Chapter 23 Educating Asuna (old version)
Only now did Kyoko Yuki take a closer look at the boy. He had rare golden pupils. His short golden hair and golden eyes gave him an indescribable majesty.
Although the boy’s face is still childish, anyone who has seen his face would not dare to underestimate him and treat him as a child.
Kiritani Takumi lazily leaned back in his chair, but even so, he did not give the impression of being rude. If it were someone else, if they dared to sit like this, they would have been labeled as rude by her.
“Well, happy cooperation.” Takumi Kiritani extended his hand.
Yuuki Kyoko gently followed Kiritani Takumi’s hand and shook it. At the same time, she glanced at Yuuki Asuna and snorted coldly, “You don’t have to go to the cram school anymore. Just study with Mr. Takumi. I’m going to class now.”
Asuna Yuuki blinked and nodded as if pretending to be aggrieved. Kyoko Yuuki picked up her bag and left.
Soon, there was a click of the security door closing outside the house.
Yuuki Asuna’s expression changed in an instant, and she looked at Kiritani Takumi with admiration and said, “You are amazing, you actually succeeded.”
Kiritani Takumi rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to pay attention to this girl. It seemed that he was pretending to be nothing when they were discussing it just now, but now he knew how to praise others.
Seeing that praising people had little effect, Yuuki Asuna said bluntly: “So, what should we learn?”
Kiritani Takumi interrupted the girl and said, “It’s you, not us. I’ll go find a test paper for you online first.”
Soon, he handed his phone to the other party. The questions in it were not difficult, but they were broad in scope and tested a lot of basic grammar.
Yuuki Asuna had a bitter face, took out a pen, and sat obediently in her seat to write and draw.
And Takumi Kiritani was looking around with some boredom.
I was so bored that I just looked at the girl.
Yuuki Asuna is very cute. Even though she is only twelve years old, she already shows 70% of the aura of the future Asuna.
The girl now looks less mature but more innocent.
Her hair is very long, hanging down to her waist, her features are delicate, her brown eyes are bright and clear like a spring, and she always purses her cherry-like lips subconsciously when doing the questions. She has some small habits, such as tangling the hair around her ears with her fingers.
Girls of this age can never sit still.
Even Yuuki Asuna is the same.
After finally leaving the cram school, she finished half of the test paper and couldn’t help asking, “Will it always be like this in the future?”
This naturally means writing test papers every day. If this is the case, she feels that it is better to go to a cram school. At least she can see other people in the cram school. It’s just a matter of changing the location of the cram school to her own home.
Kiritani Takumi laughed and said, “How could that be? I only give you three test questions a week, and I will take you to study the rest of the time.”
The boy emphasized these two words when learning them.
Yuuki Asuna looked at the boy in confusion. She felt that there was something else behind Kiritani Takumi’s words, but she couldn’t imagine what Kiritani Takumi was thinking.
What Takumi Kiritani wants is to help Asuna Yuuki understand the Steam learning platform.
Is there anything more useful than Steam?
It just so happened that the memory of Red Dead Redemption was too large, and I was worried that my computer’s memory was too small. Thinking of this, Takumi Kiritani asked, “Do you have a computer at home?”
Yuuki Asuna nodded and said, “Brother, no, what are you going to do?”
“I’ll find study materials for you.” Takumi Kiritani said with a smile.
Asuna Yuuki frowned, feeling more and more that Takumi Kiritani had ill intentions, but since she couldn’t tell what was wrong, she had to give up.
After thinking for a while, she said to the boy, “Let’s do it tomorrow. When my brother comes back in the evening, I’ll tell him. He won’t refuse.”
Kiritani Takumi nodded in approval.
Then the two fell into silence, one was doing the test paper, and the other was looking at the person doing the test paper.
Yuuki Asuna was being stared at by that gaze and felt a little embarrassed.
She glared at Takumi Kiritani, put down her pen, and said, “What are you doing? Why are you looking at me?”
“Because Asuna is pretty!” Takumi Kiritani said with a smile.
“Ah!” Yuuki Asuna’s expression froze and two blushes quickly appeared on her face. She slammed the table heavily, picked up the paper and said, “I’ll go to my room and write it.” Then she ran away like a flash.
Kiritani Takumi looked at Yuuki Asuna who was leaving and said, “Don’t look up the answer online, this is just a test.”
Yuuki Asuna staggered, her eyes wide open, and she looked back at the boy fiercely.
All I saw was that handsome face that looked calm and composed. When I thought of what he had just said, I couldn’t help but lower my head again and quickened my pace.
When a handsome guy serves a straight ball to a girl, the effect is the same as when a beautiful girl serves a straight ball to a boy.
I returned to my bedroom, closed the door heavily, and calmed down my unspeakable mood.
“That guy is joking, that guy is joking.” Yuuki Asuna kept saying this to herself two or three times before the blush on her face gradually disappeared.
He let out a breath and glanced at the test paper which only had one or two questions left.
This time I came back to write a test paper, it was fake. I was mainly thinking about how to get along with Kiritani Takumi in the future.
According to his mother, if this continues, Takumi Kiritani’s tutoring will last for a long time.
Let’s take a look first. I always feel that Takumi Kiritani will say something weird.
He quickly finished the remaining two questions, reviewed the answers he had filled in previously, and pushed the house open.
In the living room, Takumi Kiritani was looking around with a bored expression.
Asuna Yuuki walked over and handed the test paper to Takumi Kiritani.
Takumi Kiritani took the test paper from Asuna Yuuki and started reading it without saying a word.
“Yuuki Asuna, give me a pen.”
Then he started to mark the wrong places of Yuuki Asuna on the test paper.
Yuuki Asuna’s English foundation is not bad. After all, she has attended cram school for a period of time. What’s more, Yuuki Asuna has been studying in school and her talent is not bad either. So except for some minor mistakes in uncommon grammar, the rest of this test paper can be called perfect.
“Okay, I can score 95 points.” Takumi Kiritani nodded.
After handing the marked paper to Yuuki Asuna, Yuuki Asuna frowned and said, “Only 95?” She took the paper and began to look at it carefully.
Then the rest of the time was spent teaching Yuuki Asuna grammar and tips on memorizing vocabulary.
The accumulation of language requires long-term accumulation. Even though Takumi Kiritani completed several courses easily, in fact, most people can only accumulate various vocabulary step by step and down to earth.
Chapter 24: The law-abiding Suguha (old version)
Looking at the time, it was almost noon. After thinking for a while, Takumi Kiritani decided to go home for lunch. He said goodbye to Asuna Yuuki and prepared to end the day’s classes.
Yuuki Asuna was still frowning in thought, so she asked casually, “Will you come this afternoon?”
Kiritani Takumi smiled and said, “Don’t you always complain that you don’t have time for yourself? I won’t come in the afternoon, you can arrange your time as you like. But now we are all in the same boat, and our interests are the same, so just don’t fall behind in your studies.”
Yuuki Asuna nodded and stopped talking.
Takumi Kiritani was a little surprised by Yuuki Asuna’s attitude. Logically, Yuuki Asuna should have been dissatisfied with her mother’s strict discipline. Now that she is facing Takumi Kiritani’s free-range education, she should be extremely excited.
How come it’s so bland?
After Kiritani Takumi put on his shoes and left, Yuuki Asuna had been sitting obediently on the chair. Her expression brightened when she heard the sound of the door closing at the entrance.
She stood up, shouted “Oh Yeah”, rushed out of the living room and went straight to her room.
She has to take care of her own business.
Unhappy? Ordinary?
Fake, all fake, finally got rid of the shackles, how can I not be happy? .
It’s just that I can’t get angry because of the girl’s face.
On the other side, Kiritani Takumi yawned as he left Yuuki Asuna’s house. The sun was high in the sky at noon, and the dazzling sunlight made it almost impossible for the boy to open his eyes.
After he got used to the light, he walked forward slowly.
After returning home, he met Kiritani Suguha.
Kiritani Takumi smiled and said, “Is Suguha back home?”
“Yeah.” Kiritani Suguha responded coldly.
“How are your days at school? If you don’t know anything, you can ask me and I will teach you.” Takumi Kiritani made way for Suguha to open the door.
He didn’t have the key. Kiritani Suguha glanced at the boy coldly, walked up and opened the door with the key.
When the door opened, he suddenly asked, “What did you do today? I seem to have seen you go out a lot recently.”
“I got a part-time job and taught a student.” Takumi Kiritani said indifferently.
Kiritani Suguha fell into deep thought.
“Part-time job? Indeed, with his ability, he can do it.” Kiritani Suguha thought to himself.
Thinking of his table full of certificates of honor and qualifications, I was speechless.
Her age was not much different from the boy in front of her, but in front of this monster boy, she couldn’t help but feel inferior.
She originally thought that the boy should be someone who is extremely strict with himself. Generally, such people are more likely to be successful, but at the same time, they also have higher demands on others.
Suguha Kiritani originally thought that her future life would be filled with misery.
She was still nervous when the boy first entered the house.
After watching Kiritani Takumi and Kiritani Kazuto play games for three days, Kiritani Suguha fell silent.
This big brother is not strict, on the contrary, he is unusually lenient.
This was a huge shock to Suguha Kiritani, who had always followed the rules.
One day, she suddenly found Takumi Kiritani and asked him: “Shouldn’t everyone study hard? And then always stick to yourself, get into a good high school, go to a good university, and then find a good job, shouldn’t everyone work hard like this?”
Takumi Kiritani looked at Suguha Kiritani with a surprised look. She still remembers that look. His golden, gem-like eyes were like a deep spring. His clear eyes made people subconsciously trust his words.
But what Takumi Kiritani said was not pleasant to hear. He said: “Do whatever you want. I will support you no matter what you like to do. Even if you become a useless person, I can still support you. Don’t you think that kind of ordinary life is too dull?”
Kiritani Suguha opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
The answer the boy gave her did not satisfy her.
Suguha is a serious girl who does everything in a methodical manner.
In comparison, Takumi Kiritani is too casual, but if you spend more time with Takumi Kiritani, you will find that he is a very charming person.
He was a little lazy, but he never shirked the things that had to be done. His mother was really something. She pushed everything to his eldest brother and left him completely alone.
The boy prepares three meals a day at home.
Thinking of this, Kiritani Suguha quickly stepped forward and pulled out a chair for the boy. Under Kiritani Takumi’s surprised gaze, she pushed the boy, pointed at the chair, and motioned for him to sit down.
Although her mother and second brother do not understand her eldest brother, as the last face of the Kiritani family, she must stand up.
Kiritani Suguha’s expression was cold and serious. She said, “Brother, sit down.”
Kiritani Takumi sat down with some surprise.
He felt that his sister was weird.
“Hey, big brother is back. What are we having for dinner today?” Kazuto Kiritani was watching a video on his phone and was overjoyed to see Takumi Kiritani.
Then he was glared at fiercely by Kiritani Suguha.
Kiritani Kazuto’s face was full of question marks. He didn’t understand why Suguha was glaring at him. He wondered, wasn’t it always like this before?
He asked doubtfully, “Don’t you want to eat the food that big brother cooks?”
Kiritani Suguha’s face turned red. When he thought of his elder brother’s delicious cooking skills, he swallowed his saliva and finally succumbed to his appetite. He could only say, “I want to eat.”
Since you all want to eat, why are you glaring at me?
Kiritani Kazuto felt even more confused.
Girls have so many thoughts.
Kiritani Takumi and Kiritani Kazuto looked at each other silently.
He sighed, stood up and said, “We still have beef at home. I will make braised beef for everyone. This dish is very famous in China.”
“Braised beef.” Kiritani Kazuto swallowed hard.
Gudong*2
Why are there two sounds of swallowing saliva? Kiritani Kazuto subconsciously looked at Suguha.
He smiled and said, “Does Suguha like beef too?”
Then he joked, “It’s not that Suguha likes to eat beef, it’s that Suguha likes to eat everything that big brother makes, right?”
Suguha Kiritani glared at Kazuto Kiritani, ready to let Kazuto Kiritani know the status of his family.
The corners of Kiritani Kazuto’s mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Takumi Kiritani stood nearby and found the sight of the two, one big and one small, funny.
I got up and went to the kitchen to cook, playing pop music from this world on my phone, took out the beef to thaw, and took out the onions, ginger, peppers and celery.
Cut the green onion into small pieces, slice the ginger, cut the celery into pieces, and cut the chili pepper into pieces for later use.
The young boy has unique skills, or the things passed down by Chinese ancestors are all top-notch delicacies. They often use the simplest cooking methods to make the most delicious dishes.
Chapter 25 sao closed beta (old version)
After the beef is thawed, pour a spoonful of oil. When the oil starts to steam, add the ginger slices and chili peppers. Immediately, a pungent smell comes out.
The boy then poured the beef in and simmered it over low heat, and soon the aroma of the meat filled the air.
Add oyster sauce, some soy sauce, and finally a handful of celery.
The meat was gradually stewed until it was tender, and Kiritani Kazuto was drooling as he watched.
Kiritani Suguha plugged in the rice cooker with some difficulty.
Kiritani Takumi glanced at Kiritani Kazuto who was doing nothing next to him and said, “Aren’t you going to help your sister?”
Kiritani Kazuto chuckled and said, “She wanted to snatch it away, and said she wanted to be considerate of big brother.” Before he could finish his words, Kiritani Suguha walked up to Kiritani Kazuto with an expressionless face and kicked him viciously.
Kiritani Kazuto immediately hugged his foot and cried out in pain.
Kiritani Takumi suddenly realized that this was the case. No wonder Suguha seemed so abnormal today.
After finishing the meal, everyone lay back in their chairs with a satisfied look on their faces.
“It’s great to have big brother around.”
But a word came out of the two people’s mouths. Kiritani Kazuto and Kiritani Suguha looked at each other. Kiritani Takumi was amused and said in a coy manner: “How embarrassing.”
Kiritani Kazuto suddenly sat up from his chair, looked at his elder brother, and said seriously: “So, start it?”
“Start!” Takumi Kiritani responded with the same serious expression.
The two of them turned on the computer in tacit understanding, leaving Kiritani Suguha watching anxiously.
“Suguha, it’s not that big brother won’t take you with him, it’s that you’re too weak.” Kiritani and Hitoshi said cheerfully as the girl looked at them eagerly.
It would have been fine if he didn’t say anything. As soon as he spoke, Kiritani Suguha’s anger level instantly skyrocketed. She snorted coldly and turned away.
“If you don’t want to play, then don’t play. Who cares?”
After walking away, I heard this sentence.
Kiritani Kazuto and Kiritani Takumi looked at each other and smiled.
Kiritani Takumi teased, “You really need to change your habit of teasing your sister, otherwise I will suspect that she will rush into your room with a knife one day.”
“Not really.” Kiritani Kazuto waved his hand.
Then it was a whole afternoon of hard work.
Time flies like water, and the days when we can’t pretend to be cool pass by in a flash.
Huangmao has grown from a little yellow-haired boy to a big yellow-haired boy.
As he grew up, Takumi Kiritani became more and more handsome, with distinct facial features, a high nose bridge, and brighter red-gold eyes. With this appearance, he could easily seduce a large group of young ladies if he stood on the street. And because of long-term exercise and a year of swordsmanship training, his muscles were well-proportioned and his figure was slender. He was the type who looked thin when dressed and muscular when undressed.
Today, he is 15 years old, and today is also the day when the Sword Art Online closed beta server is released.
Both of them got the closed beta test qualification, but the difference was that Kazuto Kiritani relied entirely on luck, while he quietly hacked into the official website to draw qualifications by modifying the data and successfully won a closed beta test qualification.
To be honest, he really admired Kazuto Kiritani’s luck. You have to know that there are only a few thousand qualifications issued in the whole of Japan, and with the popularity of Sword Art Online, the supply is in short supply. It is not even known whether the probability is 0.01%, but Kazuto Kiritani just made it out.
This can no longer be described as the Emperor of Europe.
Today is the first day of the closed beta qualification experience release for “Sword Art Online: Sword Art Online”.
In 2022, human technology has finally enabled the creation of a complete network virtual space.
ARGUS, a major electronic machinery manufacturer, has developed a new generation of civilian terminals called NERvGear, which allows full network virtual space stealth to be used in general online games, and SAO – Sword Art Online is the first large-scale VRMMO to use this advanced technology.
Unlike old game consoles that require two human-machine interfaces: a flat screen device and a handheld controller, NervGear has only one interface: a streamlined helmet that completely covers the head and face.
There are numerous signal components buried inside it, and the helmet directly connects to the user’s brain through the multiple electric fields generated by these components. The user does not need to use his actual eyes and ears, because the machine directly gives the visual cortex and auditory cortex of the brain information, allowing the user to feel seeing and hearing. In fact, in addition to hearing and vision, touch, taste and smell, the so-called five senses, can all be read by the nervgear.
A completely stealth game, a technological invention that transcends the times, and the inventor is Kayaba Akihiko, a genius of the era.
Even Takumi Kiritani had to admit how smart he was. The game had surprisingly few loopholes, and it was almost impossible to install a bug in it.
Rather than saying that this world is a series of codes, its level of simulation can be called another world.
Anyway, he successfully hacked a set of data after entering the game.
Through dense data, his HP code was invaded.
His settings weren’t that outrageous, like a 999-hit attack or flying into the sky or hiding in the ground.
He just locked the blood, and only locked the last drop of blood.
As long as it’s not obvious that you’re using cheats, then you’re not using them.
I entered the character creation interface, and after thinking for a while, I realized that there was nothing much to create about myself, so I just kept my original appearance. What face could be more handsome than mine?
It’s not that Takumi Kiritani is bragging, he has never seen a guy as handsome as him in the real world.
Blonde hair and golden eyes, a natural protagonist face.
After entering the interface, he entered his account and password familiarly, thought for a moment, slowly typed the two words “Noel” in his nickname, and then started the mental connection.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a different scene.
Surrounded by a huge square, in front of Takumi Kiritani there is a potted plant with an unnamed plant planted on it.
He tried to open the main menu and clicked on his character’s attributes to take a look.
【Characters：Noel】
Strength: 10 (10)
Agility: 10 (10)
[Stamina: 10 (10)]【Luck: 5 (10)】
Takumi Kiritani was a little surprised. He looked around and grabbed a guy named Kirito.
“Hey, hey, Kirito, why are you like this?” Takumi Kiritani said with a joking expression.
Chapter 26 Asuna and Sword Skills (Old Version)
It’s simple. The real Kirito is only 14 years old and he has a baby face.
Kiritani Kazuto was obviously not satisfied with his appearance, so he deliberately styled himself into a more mature look.
He said this was fabricated based on the hero in his mind.
Although in the eyes of Takumi Kiritani he is just an uncle.
Well, an uncle without stubble.
“I think your look is weird.” Takumi Kiritani couldn’t help laughing.
Kiritani Kazuto curled his lips in disdain and said bluntly: “Who uses real-life appearance in the game? Although you are very handsome, aren’t you afraid of being troubled by others in real life?”
“Well, that doesn’t matter.” Takumi Kiritani smiled. Anyway, you will have to show your true face to others in the future.
“By the way, where’s the other person? Didn’t you draw two closed beta test qualifications? Who did you give the closed beta test qualification to?” Kiritani Kazuto asked puzzledly.
Kiritani Takumi looked around and saw a reckless chestnut-haired girl, and shouted, “Here, here.”
Asuna heard a familiar voice and looked over, and saw a tall, handsome and sunny-looking yellow-haired man.
Unable to help but breathe a sigh of relief, she took a few steps forward, ran to the boy and said, “Takumi, you’re here. By the way, what’s your ID, Noel?”
Kiritani Kazuto looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with some surprise. He asked, “Who is this?”
Kiritani Takumi said: “Student.”
Asuna turned her gaze towards Kiritani Kazuto, who was shorter than Kiritani Takumi, about half a head shorter, a mature middle-aged uncle.
Although Kazuto Kiritani always emphasizes that he looks like a hero, Takumi Kiritani prefers to call him uncle.
“By the way, Asuna, you are also using your original appearance in real life?” Takumi Kiritani looked around curiously.
With chestnut hair tied into a braid and clear eyes that make people feel good, Asuna is a very beautiful woman with delicate features, a doll-like cute appearance, and a slender figure. It can be seen that she does not lack exercise in her daily life.
She was wearing a white coarse cloth dress and standing in front of the two men.
Asuna’s beauty needs no further explanation.
Anyway, she is an extremely outstanding woman.
Kiritani Kazuto was slightly stunned. He looked at his eldest brother with a questioning look: “Is this how she is in reality? I thought it would be slightly modified.”
After all, most face-pinching is mainly to make oneself look better, such as making the skin whiter, the nose higher and straighter, and the eyes bigger, which are common things.
But truly natural performances are rare.
At this time, Asuna also fell silent.
She asked slowly: “So that was a face pinch, I just clicked confirm.”
Kiritani Kazuto didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This guy simply entered the game with his original face shape as default.
No wonder this is happening.
He looks like a novice.
Asuna had just entered the game and had been looking around, curious about everything.
Wait, newbie.
Kiritani Kazuto suddenly thought of a very serious question.
He slowly asked, “Have you ever played a similar game, Asuna? A game like this?”
Asuna was a little confused. She looked at Takumi Kiritani and said, “Didn’t you tell him?”
Kiritani Takumi shrugged and explained, “Asuna’s mother is very strict and basically won’t let her play games. The only reason she plays this game is because I forced her to do so.”
Kiritani Kazuto sighed helplessly and said, “Well, originally I wanted to compete with you to see who can get to the higher level BOSS.”
Kiritani Takumi laughed and said, “You can continue the competition. I will help Asuna level up, and you can find helpers. The same old rules apply. After a month, we will see who has passed more levels.”
Kiritani Kazuto was a little hesitant. He looked at Asuna and then at Kiritani Takumi. He felt that there was something fishy between the two of them, so he left without thinking too much about it.
Kiritani Takumi looked at Asuna and asked, “Do you know sword skills?”
Asuna was bewildered.
“Come on, I’ll take you to a place first.” Takumi Kiritani grabbed Asuna’s hand and pulled her forward.
Asuna is no longer the shy Yuuki Asuna. Since the two have been tutoring together for almost six years, she does not have much resistance to this level of physical contact and is rather accustomed to it.
The place that just appeared is actually the Novice Village, the Starting Town.
At the northernmost end of this layer stands a sturdy tower with a diameter of 300 meters and a height of 100 meters.
Important Locations on the Floor: “Torbana” is the most prosperous town in the valley not far from the maze area.
The streets are surrounded by grasslands where animal-type monsters such as wild boars and wolves, as well as insect-type monsters such as worms, beetles, and wasps, often appear.
Go out and head south, and you will be surrounded by endless grasslands and level-one wolf-like creatures.
The demon wolf was on all fours, with a ferocious look in its eyes, but it had no intention of attacking anyone.
Takumi Kiritani pointed at the monster in front of him and said, “Let me first tell you what sword skills are.”
Takumi Kiritani drew out the iron sword in his hand.
Lines of small characters appeared.
【Iron Sword for Beginners】
【Quality: White】
[Attribute: Sharp 1]I don’t know why, but the system interface of Takumi Kiritani is different from that of Kazuto Kiritani.
To be precise, it is about introducing different equipment attributes.
It’s the same piece of equipment, but the properties displayed by the two are different.
But it’s harmless.
Feel the sword-swinging mechanism of the system.
Because both his original body and he had been exposed to kendo before, he got the hang of it after just a short while.
Sword skills.
This is Sao’s special system-assisted move.
The special system in SAO that emphasizes physical sensation, after making the corresponding preparatory action to trigger the skill, the system will assist the character’s movements and speed, and perform superhuman skills that are usually difficult to achieve.
Although similar movements can be performed without using sword skills, the power, speed and accuracy cannot be compared.
On the other hand, because sword skills are standardized movements driven by the system and cannot be changed or stopped until they are completed, judging the opponent’s preparatory movements becomes an important skill in a duel.
In short, ordinary players rely on sword skills to accomplish operations that are difficult to accomplish in reality.
However, there is a period of stiffness before releasing sword skills, and your opponent can take countermeasures based on the sword skills you release.
Chapter 27 Guiding Asuna (Old Version)
Takumi Kiritani began to explain to Asuna the meaning of sword skills and the precautions for releasing sword skills.
Because Takumi Kiritani is a very good instructor, and Asuna has a good comprehension ability, she quickly figured out the trick to getting started.
It’s a pity that I still haven’t gotten used to this game.
Takumi Kiritani asked Asuna to defeat the wolf in front of him, and she held the rapier in her hand with some fear.
“Asuna, what are you doing?”
“Draw your sword quickly and fiercely, and switch sword skills even faster!”
“yes!”
“Asuna, dodge! When you see the blue light, either dodge or interrupt the opponent’s sword skills!”
“knew!”
On the grassland, a blond boy stood by and yelled at another chestnut-haired girl.
“Be steady. Your hand holding the sword should be steadier.”
“Yes!” Asuna almost gritted her teeth. She treated the wolf opposite as if it was Takumi Kiritani and poked it hard. The wolf’s HP was emptied and turned into blue light and dissipated. Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and touched the sweat on her head.
She turned her gaze to Kiritani Takumi, who still had a cold expression. He looked back at Asuna, and his red-gold eyes were so calm that it was impossible to look directly at them.
“Go on, Asuna.” Takumi Kiritani said lightly.
“No.” Asuna gasped.
Kiritani Takumi shook his head and said, “The wolf’s level can only be regarded as the most basic monster. It can be killed instantly with one sword.”
Having said that, Takumi Kiritani stepped forward, holding the iron sword in his hand, took a deep breath, the posture of Kenshin-ryu drawing the sword flashed through his mind, and he suddenly rushed forward.
He stepped forward with his right foot and rushed forward wildly, coming in front of the demon wolf. He held the sword in his right hand and thrust it forward suddenly. A white cold light flashed across the neck of the demon wolf. His movements were sharp and swift.
The physical strength value decreased rapidly, but was not directly reset to zero. This was the sword-drawing style of the Sword God style.
Logically, slashing across the neck should have triggered a critical hit, and the sword-drawing style itself is twice as powerful as a normal sword move, but even so it was not enough to kill this guy instantly.
Before the demon wolf could react, the young man gripped the hilt of the sword again, triggering a second slash, and a cold light attacked.
The demon wolf howled, and its body turned into dots of blue light and dissipated.
Shattered like a mirror, it welcomed its own death without leaving a trace.
This is the death of the SAO world.
“Asuna, you have to act quickly. You have to imagine the triggering of the sword skill in your mind, and you have to make the starting posture of the sword skill. Once the sword skill is released, it cannot be canceled!” Takumi Kiritani instructed Asuna from the side.
Asuna pouted and said, “I always feel annoyed by your lecture!”
“Sword Skills—Basic Rapier Skills—Linear Attack.”
A silver straight line was drawn, but because of Asuna’s high agility, only a flash could be seen. It was very fast, almost instantaneous, and was used to take the initiative.
The damage is not high, but the speed is extremely fast, the continuity is strong, and it is a single-shot instant single-target output skill.
The rapier instantly hit the wolf’s jaw. Asuna turned her feet, adjusted her posture, and quickly switched to a supporting skill – a normal attack.
That’s right, it’s a normal attack.
Because it’s only level one, everyone’s skill panel is empty and they can only rely on basic attacks to make up for the damage.
However, it is indeed feasible to do so. The purpose of a normal attack is to stun the opponent rather than to pursue damage.
Sword skills have a cooling CD.
The reason why Takumi Kiritani could kill monsters in one move was actually because he had practiced with the wooden sword for a year.
It is obvious that his sword skills were not recognized by the system and were not included in the scope of sword skills.
If it is really included in the scope of sword skills, the speed should be faster and the attack should be more rapid.
After all, if the Sword God’s strongest attack couldn’t defeat a demon wolf, Paul next door would die of laughter.
I leveled up with Asuna like this. Since it was the closed beta period, there were basically few people fighting for the monsters nearby. Everyone tacitly fought their own monsters.
Asuna was still immersed in the real feeling of the game.
After killing many monsters along the way, their levels quickly reached level 3.
After putting all the points in strength and agility in the basic attributes, the boy continued to move forward with Asuna.
Heading towards the huge tower, after walking for a distance, we encountered all kinds of strange insect-like animals.
Things like wasps are at level 3 and need to be more flexible, so they need to use throwing skills.
Takumi Kiritani began to explain the movement rules and attack stiffness of the wasp to Asuna. He held a stone in his hand, and then the stone emitted a blue light. Takumi Kiritani quickly threw it out. The stone hit the body of the wasp with a whistling sound. The wasp had very little HP. Takumi Kiritani said: “You have to master the throwing skill. It is a simple skill, but it will play an extremely critical role at certain times.”
Asuna responded listlessly.
Seeing her like this, Takumi Kiritani’s mouth twitched and he couldn’t help but slap her hard on the head.
“Hey, listen carefully when I talk to you. You may need it in the future.”
“Tsk, will things in the game be used in real life?” Asuna retorted.
Takumi Kiritani lamented that girls in their rebellious period are so difficult to deal with, and now they know how to disobey their old father’s words.
Kiritani Takumi said sternly, “No backtalk allowed.”
Asuna blushed and said, “I’m obviously older than you.”
“I am a senior.”
“I’m obviously taller than you.”
“I am a teacher.”
“Obviously…”
“I am your teacher.”
“Damn it, why do I have to listen to your explanation in the game?” Asuna said dissatisfiedly.
Ignoring Asuna’s nagging, Takumi Kiritani took her to kill monsters and soon reached the entrance to a forest.
Takumi Kiritani stood at the entrance of the forest and looked inside.
After thinking about it, I decided that since I am currently in the closed beta period, death is a common occurrence and it would be a trivial matter if I boldly go in.
“Let’s go, Asuna.” Takumi Kiritani signaled the girl to shut up and took her inside.
What comes into view is a slightly narrow goat path. The light and shadows around it are extremely real. The light from the sky above is blocked by the shade of the trees, and the mottled shadows of the trees are reflected on the ground. You can even hear the chirping of insects all around.
The leaves rustled as her feet stepped on them. Asuna looked around curiously and murmured, “So real. This, this is like another world.”
As the forest was very quiet, the girl’s murmurs could not escape Takumi Kiritani’s ears. He thought for a moment and said, “There is no need to push yourself so hard in real life. I told you that you should combine work and rest. Appropriate games can relax your brain and improve your mental concentration.”
Asuna just listened silently, and this time she didn’t refute.
This surprised Takumi Kiritani a little.
Chapter 28 System Sword Skills Evaluation Mechanism (Old Version)
The journey in the forest is not all smooth sailing, there are still some insects on the road that cannot be named.
I don’t know if it’s out of humanitarian concern, but arthropods like insects are not made to be ugly. Instead, they are made to be cute.
At least Asuna didn’t run away screaming when she saw it.
The bugs were not strong and could be easily killed with a slap. When we walked to the center of the valley, the tall forest gradually decreased, revealing the exposed rocks inside.
This place belongs to the area of ​​the Piranha Plant, and is considered a high-level resource and monster area. There are several special monsters here.
Although the Piranha Plants are not dispersed densely, because their level is still relatively high, dealing with more than three at the same time can be a death sentence.
Of course, this is for a novice like Asuna.
As for Noel, you have to take away the last bit of his health.
Huge stems, leaves and thick roots are entangled in the ground.
【Piranha Plant】
【level：4】
A few lines of small words appeared above my head.
The Piranha Plant has a huge mouthpart on its head, and some of them even have a bright red envelope.
The Piranha Plant was not a difficult opponent, but when Noel saw the red fruit, he felt something was wrong.
Although he had seen Sword Art Online, that was a long time ago. Although his soul had undergone a sublimation, his memory was still a little fuzzy.
But it is still in the testing phase. Thinking of this, he said to Asuna: “Asuna, go and fight the guy with the bright fruit on his head.”
Asuna nodded and moved forward to fight with a Piranha Plant with a fruit on its head.
Then, with a bang, the fruit exploded, countless pink mists spread, and the surrounding carnivorous plants began to approach rapidly, like sharks smelling blood.
“So that’s how it is. It turns out to be used to attract monsters.” Noel nodded secretly.
Asuna’s expression was as wonderful as it could be when she heard this. She glared at Noel and said, “You tricked me!”
Noel grabbed Asuna and ran behind him.
Asuna pinched Noel hard while running.
Noel felt pain and almost let go of her hand. Facing the angry Asuna, Noel said awkwardly, “How can you say I’m pitting you? Well, you’ve escaped, and you haven’t lost a level.”
“Hmph.” Asuna snorted coldly, her expression as cold as it could be.
Noel quickly comforted the girl and said, “This is just trial and error. Trial and error is necessary.”
Asuna snorted coldly, “Next time you are not allowed to use me as a test subject. If you want to test yourself, try it yourself.”
Noel nodded quickly: “Okay, okay, I’ll do it myself next time.”
Only then did Asuna let the boy go.
After walking out of the hatred range of the Piranha Plant, he waited for another half a quarter of an hour before sneaking in quietly.
The carnivorous plants that had originally gathered together have now dispersed, with only three or four scattered in the center.
Noel exhaled a breath of turbid air and said to Asuna seriously, “I’ll go clear the monsters.”
Asuna hesitated. She asked, “Are you sure?”
Noel said: “It’s okay, trust me.”
The novice iron sword appeared in Noel’s hand. He quietly went behind the Piranha Plant and stabbed it in the back with one hand.
It’s a pity that Noel’s attack couldn’t kill the thick-blooded Piranha Plant in seconds, and the three surrounding Piranha Plants pounced directly towards Noel.
Noel held the sword in his hand, took a deep breath, bent his body forward, stepped forward with his right foot, and swung the sword in his hand suddenly. A cold light flashed, and a huge blow slashed towards the trunk of the carnivorous plant.
The Piranha Plant that was attacked by Noel first had its HP reduced to zero and turned into blue light and dissipated.
The two carnivorous plants under him quickly surrounded Noel. Noel retreated, and a deep blue light flashed on his sword, which was a sign that his sword skills were activated.
Basic sword skill: Slash – Single slash.
His posture was correcting, his movements were becoming faster, and an unknown force was guiding Noel.
Noel’s eyes lit up. Is this the system’s assistance?
His body became light, and Noel suddenly thrust out his sword. His figure appeared on the right side of the Piranha Plant like a ghost, and slashed upwards with the iron sword in his hand.
After the slash, he quickly switched sword skills, and another deep blue light flashed on the sword.
Supporting skills: Horizontal Slash – A single horizontal slash. While the Piranha Plant is in a stiff stage, quickly draw the sword again, a cold light flashes, and the slash is directed at the Piranha Plant again.
The Piranha Plant’s HP dropped rapidly, but it has not yet returned to zero.
There is nothing that can be done about it, since Noel’s weapon has not been updated and he is still holding the iron sword he just got out of the Novice Village.
Another carnivorous plant came over and quickly pounced on Noel with its huge mouthparts. Noel was forced to retreat and grasped the sword again with his right hand.
This time, it should work.
He vaguely figured out the system’s sword skills evaluation mechanism.
SAO has the most realistic physics engine in the world. Logically, it is possible for swordplay that can be accomplished in real life to be accomplished in a swordplay game. But why the first move was not recognized by the system can only mean that my movements were not perfect.
Sword skills are definitely not only in the system inventory. Doesn’t the Sword God Style count as a sword skill? Absolutely not. Noel’s golden eyes flashed with a bright light, and his figure moved swiftly. The benefits of regular exercise in reality were revealed. Not only were his basic attributes higher than others, but his control over his body was perfect.
He pressed the iron sword to his waist, grasped the hilt with his right hand, and assumed an Iai stance.
Sword God Style-Sword Drawing Style.
The Sword God Style is all about seeking to kill with one strike, which means that the Sword God Style must act decisively.
A breeze blew by, and the sword was unsheathed.
The blue light flashed again and again, and the azure sword body was completely wrapped in the blue sword light.
The huge slash turned into an arc and cut through the air, splitting the Piranha Plant in two and instantly reducing its HP to zero.
【System prompt】
[You have mastered a new sword technique]【？ ？ ？】
[Gather strength, draw the sword][Effect: Increases with the increase of charging time, up to 500% of the basic sword attack][Cooling time: 10s]Noel showed a look of astonishment.
It seems that my idea is right, and now I have a way to explore.
This sword skill is pretty good. The attack is swift and it can kill some monsters instantly if you build up momentum. The pre-swing can also be canceled depending on the situation.
More importantly, this is only a level one skill. As long as you copy the Sword God’s complete swordsmanship here and improve the proficiency of the skill with the assistance of the system, you can also improve your swordsmanship in the jobless world.
Asuna was standing nearby, stunned by the boy’s behavior of taking on three people at once.
His movements were smooth and flowing, like a warrior who had experienced many battles.
He was wearing coarse cloth, had soft and dazzling golden hair, and a handsome face.
Why does it feel like he is the adventurous hero in the legend, even though this hero has not yet rushed out of the Novice Village, even though this hero just tricked her a little bit, even though this hero has a rather bad personality.
Chapter 29: The Honest Kiritani Suguha (Old Version)
Asuna felt sad when she thought of the days when Takumi Kiritani gave her extra lessons.
Kiritani Takumi is a person with a bad taste. After spending a long time together, Asuna has completely seen this guy’s true nature.
Although he looks sunny and handsome.
But when he cut it open it was absolutely black.
Asuna’s mouth twitched slightly. If he was a hero, he would probably become the new Demon King of that world after defeating the Demon King.
However, Asuna suddenly remembered that this guy had secretly gone to learn swordsmanship some time ago, and seemed to have won the first prize in the All Japan Kendo Championship.
Now it seems that the reputation is well-deserved.
When she thought of this, she looked at Noel with a dim gaze and said, “Number one in the country, that’s great.”
Noel sheathed his sword, scratched his head and said, “It’s okay. Asuna, I’ll be embarrassed if you say that.”
Asuna no longer wanted to complain. Knowing the boy’s character well, she knew that if she continued, his tail would be up in the air.
Asuna was silent, and Noel waved and said, “Come here.”
Asuna blinked and pointed at herself and said, “Are you sure you want me to do it?”
“Well, I’ll have to count on you then,” said Noel.
“Count on me?” She was a little confused.
“I don’t want to lose to stupid Ou Doudou in a month.” Noel said.
It was then that Asuna realized that this guy had inexplicably reached a bet with his brother.
He sighed and headed towards the Piranha Plant.
It must be said that Asuna made rapid progress and quickly mastered the techniques for dealing with monsters and how to use sword skills.
After killing the monsters, she looked at the time and subconsciously exclaimed, “It’s 6 o’clock, my mother will be back soon, I’ll log off first.”
Noel nodded, ignored Asuna, and started his monster hunting journey.
Before he could finish brushing his brush for a while, Noel received a message from Kiritani Kazuto: “Aren’t you going to cook?”
Noel: How about you cook it?
Kirito: Spare me, Suguha will kill me.
Noel: …
Sighed and was forced to log off.
The moment he took off his helmet, he saw a person standing in front of him. Noel rubbed his brow and said, “Suguha, you can’t do this. You will scare people.”
Kiritani Suzuha looked at the yellow-haired girl in front of him with some resentment. The yellow-haired girl stood up and rubbed the girl’s head, which caused Kiritani Suzuha to be very dissatisfied. She shouted: “Brother, I am not a child anymore.”
Noel didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, looking at the girl who seemed to be enjoying herself. She said no with her mouth, but her body was quite honest?
Without exposing the girl’s little thoughts, he asked, “What do you want to eat?”
“Ramen.” Kiritani Suguha said with sparkling eyes.
Ever since Noel showed his excellent Chinese cooking skills, Suguha has been obsessed with the delicious Chinese cuisine.
After making dinner, I made another appointment with Kirito to fight.
In this way, Noel quickly became familiar with the mechanisms of various skills, and led Asuna through all the levels. At the beginning, he was left far behind by the lone ranger Kirito, but as the levels went up, Kirito felt more and more exhausted, and gradually became exhausted.
Not only is the BOSS special, but encountering some extremely difficult monsters can also be life-threatening.
In just one month, Kiritani Kazuto died more than twenty times.
Out of desperation, he was forced to find a teammate.
“Hello, my name is Shencheng.” This is what he said.
A very large, ferocious-looking man with protruding eyes and a huge frame, carrying a huge sickle on his back.
But when he saw Asuna, he was slightly surprised. He rubbed his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: “Yuuki Asuna?”
Asuna beside him was stunned. She looked at the ferocious-looking man in front of her in a daze. She looked at the huge and ferocious sickle behind him, and couldn’t help swallowing her saliva. She said dryly, “Do we know each other?”
After hesitating for a moment, he sent a friend request to Asuna, and then said in his original voice: “It’s me, Usagi Fukasumi, Yuuki, don’t you recognize me?”
Suddenly, Asuna’s eyes lit up. She held her hand in disbelief and said, “Usagi Fukasumi, you’re also playing this game?”
Usagi Fukasumi shook his head and said, “Please call me by my ID in the game. My name now is Mitt.” After saying that, he pointed to the ID on his head.
Kiritani Kazuto looked surprised, and Noel also looked surprised.
The two exchanged glances, and Noel sent a direct message.
Noel: What’s going on? Are you looking for a girl behind my back?
Kirito: ???
Noel: He’s obviously a girl.
Kirito: I don’t understand.
Noel: Asuna goes to an aristocratic girls’ school, so they could only have known each other at school. What do you think?
Kirito: …
Noel: Do you need me to check it for you?
After seeing this message, Kiritani Kazuto silently looked at the yellow-haired man in front of him.
At this time, the yellow-haired man was winking at him.
He fell silent.
His original intention was to find a good teammate and he really didn’t think too much about it.
Thinking of this, he typed: She is actually quite amazing.
Noel: What, any ideas?
Kiritani Kazuto fell silent, and every three sentences he spoke he had an idea.
Noel thought about it and secretly chatted with Asuna, asking for the girl’s information.
Noel: Yuuki, are you there?
Asuna: What?
Noel: Who is that person? My brother is still single.
Asuna:
Asuna didn’t want to talk anymore. She glanced at the boy coldly, but after thinking for a while, she typed: “What does your brother look like?”
Noel: Awesome.
She fell into deep thought. There were so many things to complain about that she didn’t know how to complain.
When she looked up, she found that Noel was staring at her.
I had no choice but to type a few words.
Asuna: Her name is Usagi Fukasumi, and she’s a classmate of mine. You’d better forget about it. Not only does she have good grades and is pretty, she’s also enthusiastic and cheerful in class.
Noel: My brother thought so.
She had the urge to strangle him to death.
Okay, that’s very Noel.
He no longer paid attention to Noel and started chatting with Usagi Fukasumi.
Seeing that Asuna didn’t reply to the message, Noel began to shift the battle line. He directly @Kiritani Kazuto.
Noel: In real life, she is a very pretty girl. She ranks first in her grade and even Asuna is squeezed out. If you have any ideas, I can help you think of a solution.
I told you it wasn’t an idea, bastard, it was just a coincidence.
Noel: What? Are you shy? Too embarrassed to speak? I’ll help you.
Chapter 30 Team up to fight the BOSS (old version)
Kiritani Kazuto felt very tired, he sighed, and glanced at the smug Kiritani Takumi. He seriously suspected that the boy was just making fun of him.
At this time, Asuna and Usazawa Fukasumi were in reminiscing mode and started talking about school matters.
Then Usagi Fukasumi glanced at Noel and said, “Who is this? Your boyfriend?”
Asuna blushed instantly, covered Usagi Fukasumi’s mouth, and said, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Usagi Fukasumi laughed and said, “It seems that he is not the one for now. Who is he?”
“Tutor.” Asuna couldn’t help but sigh when she said this. The other person’s teacher and her teacher had completely different styles.
Thinking of this, she felt deeply powerless.
At this point, Usagi Fukasumi couldn’t help but ask curiously, “How did you get into this game?”
Asuna helplessly pointed at Noel who was smiling brightly.
Usagi Fukasumi asked in surprise, “Did he give it to you?”
Asuna nodded.
Usagi Fukasumi looked at Asuna’s ignorant expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know how valuable the closed beta qualification is?”
Asuna tilted her head and asked in confusion, “Is it precious?”
She seemed to have heard her brother say that there seemed to be a lot of this stuff in his company.
Usagi Fukasumi nodded seriously.
He held up five fingers and said, “Market price: 5 million yen. After all, this is the only fully-dive game in the world. The closed beta qualification alone has been sold for this price. I was able to get this qualification purely by luck. You are lucky. Someone just gave it to you.”
Asuna thought about her pocket money. Although her family was wealthy, they did not spend money lavishly due to their good traditional habits. On the contrary, they were usually very tight on money.
This considerable sum of money is definitely enough for her to live a carefree and happy life for a while.
She really didn’t expect that the thing that the young man gave her so casually would be of such precious value. Although this thing was not very rare in her family, she appreciated the kindness.
I still remember that day, the boy was guiding Asuna with her homework as usual.
When she finished writing the last Chinese character, Takumi Kiritani suddenly said, “Hey, Yuuki, let’s play games together tomorrow.”
So, Yuuki Asuna entered the game.
After hearing what Yuuki Asuna said, Usagi Fukasumi was filled with admiration. She pinched the girl’s cheek and said with a smile, “He must be interested in you, otherwise why would he give you such an expensive gift without any hesitation?”
Asuna thought about it for a moment and felt a little shy. Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still said stubbornly, “Shinsumi, don’t talk nonsense. It will lead to misunderstanding.”
Usagi Fukasumi showed a meaningful smile and said with a grin, “Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, only you know.”
Seeing Asuna’s expression, she didn’t continue talking and changed the subject: “By the way, his appearance is really dazzling. I always feel like a hero in a story.”
“Tsk, you look like a dog.” Asuna couldn’t help but sneer when she thought of the boy using her as bait.
“Hey, Asuna, is he this handsome in real life?” Usazawa Fukusumi asked curiously.
“Tsk, this is what he looks like in real life.”
“ah?”
Usagi Fukasumi exclaimed slightly, and she looked at the boy in front of her carefully again.
He has short golden hair and bangs casually parted in the middle, revealing handsome facial features, bright and lively red-gold eyes, a smile always on the corner of his mouth, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and a strong body due to long-term exercise. In short, he is a very good-looking boy in every aspect.
Usagi Fukasumi leaned close to the girl’s ear and whispered, “You have to hurry up. With his looks, there are probably many girls out there who will fall in love with him at first sight. If you haven’t confirmed the relationship yet, you have to hurry up.”
Asuna followed Usagi Fukusumi’s gaze and turned her gaze towards the boy.
The boy seemed to notice Asuna’s gaze and gave her a bright smile.
“Haha.” Seeing the boy’s sunny expression, she couldn’t help but sneer.
Even though he smiles so brightly, the more he smiles, the more it means he is going to have some bad intentions again.
Sunny handsome guy? Not exist.
Golden retriever is black when cut open.
Not only in games, but in real life, Asuna has been tricked by this guy many times.
Although each fight was just a minor one, Takumi Kiritani’s bad taste really made her feel angry and funny.
“Don’t just talk about me. How did you get to know Kirito?” Asuna asked curiously.
Usagi Fukasumi thought for a moment and said, “There’s nothing wrong with that. We just met when we were killing monsters. Even I have to admit that he’s very strong.”
Asuna narrowed her eyes and asked in confusion, “Very strong?”
Usagi Fukasumi nodded and said, “Yes, he is very strong. His sword is very fast and his reaction speed is extremely quick. He can even be ranked in the top three among the people I know.”
Asuna was thoughtful. It was obvious that everyone in this family had a good talent for playing games.
Seeing that the two had almost finished chatting, Takumi Kiritani stepped forward to interrupt their conversation and said, “Come on, let’s team up to kill the BOSS together. We can kill as many bosses as we can now.”
Usagi Fukasumi agreed, “Indeed, getting the boss’s information first is the most urgent task at the moment.”
The floor they were on now was the fifteenth floor.
The scene is related to the forest, which is a bit like the Misty Forest on the third level, but the fog is not that thick, and it does not block the vision and minimap, so it is relatively easier to pass.
It’s just that the monsters are a little difficult to deal with.
Not only elves appear here, but also ape-like creatures.
Elves are usually grouped in four, three elven archers and one elven warrior. Since they encounter monsters in groups, and these monsters have their own fighting styles and cooperation, the progress is very slow.
It can be said to be a nightmare for lone travelers. Even a top player like Kazuto Kiritani can only leave the area if he encounters two teams of elves at the same time.
Ape creatures are not that difficult to deal with, mainly because they have high health and attacks, but they mainly appear one by one. Unless you are extremely unlucky and run into their base camp directly, you can kite and kill them.
“It’s been a month now, and we’re still on the fifteenth level. We have to hurry up, otherwise the public beta will start in three months, and the gap between us and normal players will be quickly closed.” Kiritani Kazuto made an appropriate analysis.
Everyone thought it made sense. Acting alone was too inefficient. Finding other beta testers would inevitably lead to ulterior motives, not to mention that coordination was even more of a problem.
Kiritani Takumi said, “Go straight south, there is the door to the boss over there.”
Everyone nodded. Since the four of them were top players, they quickly fought their way through and found the BOSS’s room.
It was found between three huge trees.
Surrounded by giant trees, the gate glows with a deep blue light, and the patterns on the door exude an ancient atmosphere.
The gate is five meters high and three meters wide. The heavy and simple door symbolizes the powerful strength of the BOSS.
Everyone looked at each other, and Kiritani Takumi gestured, then reached out and pushed the heavy stone door open.
The stone door made a clicking sound and then slowly opened.
Chapter 31 SAO Public Beta (Old Version)
Then there was a fierce battle, and the BOSS was naturally defeated by the four of them.
Time flies like water, days and months pass by like a shuttle.
The days when I couldn’t pretend passed by in a flash, and two months went by in the blink of an eye.
Three months was enough for everyone to thoroughly understand the game mechanics.
Some time ago, with the end of the closed beta test, SAO’s closed beta test qualification was also declared over.
SAO is very playable. Even Yuuki Asuna will secretly log in when her mother is not around.
Because of everyone’s cooperation, they managed to climb to an extremely terrifying number of floors.
25 floors.
It is not easy to reach this level in only three months.
But for some reason, maybe because the plot has not started yet, Noel still has not obtained the power of time and space. These three months can only be regarded as honing swordsmanship and mastering wild monster skills.
Today, Friday, is the day when SAO appears in everyone’s sight as the first game.
The SAO after-sales products on the streets were sold out.
When Noel skillfully logged into his account and started the mental connection.
A familiar feeling came over me.
It is still the familiar original town.
I felt the limbs being able to move flexibly and the incredibly real feeling.
Noel regained that familiar feeling.
But soon he felt something was wrong.
He took out the novice weapon from his backpack, waved it around, and felt the auxiliary mechanism of the system.
Soon he frowned.
This support seems to have become much weaker.
The default calibration of the game system is quite weak, but it is not a big deal.
He subconsciously looked at his HP interface.
The code that took three years to prepare is now ready to be used.
He tried it himself during the closed beta test and found it to be effective, so he secretly installed one for Kiritani Kazuto, Usazawa Fukasumi, and Yuuki Asuna.
After all, one is his younger brother, one is his sister-in-law, and one is his apprentice. If they really died in the game, he would not be able to give himself an explanation.
When the bug takes effect, there will be a trace at the end of the health bar that overlaps with the outline of the health bar. Basically, you cannot find its existence without careful observation.
I took a look at the health bar interface, hmm, good, it still exists.
However, the next moment, a series of system announcements appeared.
But this system is not that system.
[Detection plot activation][Participating characters: Yuuki Asuna, Kiritani Kazuto, Yuki, and Usagi Fukasumi.]【Scan this world】
【Scan successful】
[Begin to steal the power of time and space][Note: When you significantly change the world or promote the development of the plot, you will gain a certain amount of time and space power. ][System suggestion: Clear higher floors]Seeing this, Noel’s expression remained relatively stable.
But the more he looked down, the less calm his expression became.
[Start syncing the world]The virtual world has been transformed
【Note: You are currently in the real world!!!】
[Abnormal code found, the code has been cleared]【System data loading】
【Loading Successfully】
Noel’s expression froze, he couldn’t believe it.
Looking at the prompt in front of him, he took a deep breath and glanced at the blood bar.
Sure enough, the imperceptible line at the bottom of the health bar disappeared.
Damn it, system.
Noel’s defense was broken. Although I might not be able to use it, it was a cheat that I used with my own ability. Why can you erase it?
Noel covered his heart, feeling grief-stricken.
But he obviously hasn’t realized the seriousness of the problem.
While Kayaba Akihiko doesn’t use his GM authority to force players into the dungeon, hurry up and level up.
He is not worried about Kiritani Kazuto and Asuna. After all, they have already used cheats, so what is there to be afraid of with health-locking cheats?
This happened only because I was backstabbed by the system.
There is no need to rush to tell the other party now, in case the GM finds out about it and clears it out for some other reasons.
Kayaba Akihiko is definitely a genius. This ability can only be used to save his life, not to do evil.
I sighed and looked around, but I didn’t see Kiritani Kazuto. I wondered where this guy went.
He had previously insisted on returning the gaming helmet he had given her to Asuna, saying that her brother had the game and didn’t need his gaming helmet.
Noel looked at her with complicated eyes. She didn’t expect that her brother would have to take the blame in the end.
However, given her mother’s personality, if she knew that her daughter entered the death game because of Kiritani Takumi, she would definitely fight him to the death.
He also wanted to become the other party’s future son-in-law, so, for his own sake, he had to let her elder brother take the blame.
He took a deep breath, ignored the surprised and astonished looks in the square, and ran straight to the south.
We have to level up quickly while players are familiar with the skill mechanism.
My goal is 100 floors.
Defeat the devil and save everyone from danger.
Noel clicked on the panel again, and the information on it had changed completely.
[Level: 1]Strength: F
Stamina: F
[Intelligence: E- (the physical strength released by triggering the sword skill, converted into magic power here)]【Luck: F-】
[Sword Skills: Basic Sword Skills Slash – Single Slash]“Has it turned into a system panel?” Noel thought thoughtfully.
But it’s better this way, it’s easier to understand.
Galloping towards the grassland in the distance, I saw a group of level 1 wolves.
He took a deep breath, held the novice iron sword, and felt the heavy weight of the sword and his violently beating heart.
Take advantage of the fact that you haven’t attacked the opponent yet and haven’t attracted the opponent’s hatred value yet.
Begin to move the sword to your waist by feel.
Step your right foot forward, flexing and extending it slightly, and tightening the muscles in your right arm.
He exhaled a breath and began to recall the essence of the Sword God Style – Sword Drawing Style.
Move quickly and strike quickly.
The blunt sword blade began to gleam with a blue luster.
As his movements were being corrected, Noel felt an unprecedented clarity in his mind.
Suddenly, the iron sword slashed through the air with a huge blow, and the iron sword swept over with the sound of whistling wind.
A flash of cold light passed by, and the wolf, who was only level 1, was instantly slashed across the neck by the cold iron sword, and its body turned into a blue light and dissipated.
[Effect: Increases with the increase of charging time, up to 500% of the attack of the basic sword move]Noel exhaled, named the sword skill Sword God Style – Sword Drawing Style, and then frowned.
Because I felt a little tired.
This discovery surprised Noel.
Then, as if he had thought of something, his face darkened.
It was simple. He already understood what the system meant by changing reality.
Chapter 32: Monster Leveling (Old Version)
This really transforms it from a pile of data into an entity.
There is no need to explain the benefits to players. The pain is reduced to a minimum, and as long as there is a little bit of health left in the health bar, they can still stand up and fight back.
But what if it is reality?
Not to mention low health, even half health would probably mean poor performance.
Thinking about the key point, Noel couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
The backstab of the system is very critical.
Not only did it eliminate his backhand, but it also banned his advantage as a player.
And he had to quickly kill monsters and level up, so as to quickly reach a strength that could lead him to a higher level.
It’s not impossible to follow behind Kazuto Kiritani and Asuna to gain some advantages and take advantage of the plot.
But Noel didn’t want to do that.
Is this fun?
Noel felt that there was no need.
Things have not yet reached the worst point. Rather, this just happens to achieve my goal of honing myself.
After figuring it all out, Noel breathed a sigh of relief and strode to the front again.
A cold light flashed, and the sharp sword edges cut through the necks of the wolves.
As blood and flesh splattered and wolves fell to the ground, Noel looked at his level expressionlessly.
I’ve upgraded one level, but it’s not enough.
A warm current flowed through his body, although it was not much, he could clearly feel his body changing.
The speed is faster and the strength is stronger.
It’s roughly equivalent to the effect of a month’s exercise.
This discovery surprised him, and he now has a bold idea, that is, whether his body can inherit this mantle after the game is over.
However, he must rest for a while before continuing to fight, otherwise the fatigue caused by the high-intensity battle will affect his combat performance.
After resting for a while, his physical strength gradually recovered and his mana bar slowly filled up. This time, Noel learned his lesson and did not use the Sword God’s sword skills.
It didn’t matter before, it just reduced the blue bar after using it.
Now it is directly reducing mental strength.
You have to wait until you reach a higher level before you can let go.
He drew his sword and ran, flipping the iron sword in his hand, and the wolves were turned into dead souls under the sword.
A wolf appeared again not far away after a while.
This level 1 monster is easy to deal with.
As Noel’s level increased, the magic wolf could no longer give him much experience. After pondering for a while, he decided to gallop forward.
The endless grassland, the accelerated heartbeat while running, and the smell of earth in the air made Noel feel a little dazed.
Although SAO was previously said to be a full stealth game during development, even then it had not yet reached such a realistic level.
The reason is that it will minimize the player’s pain.
After all, this is just a game, not reality.
If playing a game is extremely painful, then I guess not many players would choose it.
What players want to experience is the feeling of being able to peacefully bathe in the morning light, feel the sea breeze, and walk on the soft grass after work.
In short, they don’t want to feel the same pain, they just want to feel comfortable.
Although the pain sensation will be reduced, a lot will be lost at the same time.
The most common is touch.
Noel immediately felt the difference.
This world can no longer be called a game.
The breeze blew through his hair, the sun bathed his body, and the warm sunshine made him feel comfortable.
To be honest, he really wanted to have a good sleep in the sunshine.
I looked at the time and it was already twelve o’clock noon.
Noel always has the habit of taking a nap.
Noel believes that only after a nap can one be more energetic in the afternoon.
But now is not the time to be reckless.
Noel hurried towards the forest.
He had to go to the Piranha Plant and pull the monsters to fight, maybe he could encounter some special monsters.
That monster is a hooded rat, which is extremely agile and can drop a very rare one-handed sword with top-grade attributes.
This sword is still not outdated even if it is placed on the third floor.
It can be called a magical tool for beginners.
He gave up after walking for just a while.
There is no other reason, there are just too many monsters on the road.
It has seriously delayed his progress.
Even if you go deeper, you cannot achieve your goal.
Moreover, I estimate that the GM will announce the real gameplay at around 4 or 5 pm, and I am still at level 2 now.
This level is not considered a high-level player.
Noel had no choice but to kill the wolf creatures and the bees floating in the air one by one on the spot.
Noel was unlucky. It was only when he killed the 23rd bee that a piece of equipment dropped from it.
It was a relatively heavy sword, and the blade was flashing with a deep cold light.
After just one look, Noel’s eyes lit up. This sword was definitely much better than his novice iron sword.
And this is indeed the case.
【Steel Sword】
[Wear restrictions: level 2][Features: Sharp (I)]Although this sword still has the characteristics of the first level, its attributes are indeed much better than that of the novice longsword.
Noel took the weapon he had just obtained and continued to move forward to kill monsters and level up.
This time, thanks to the sharp sword, Noel upgraded quickly. Relying on his original level suppression and the sword in his hand, he basically killed one enemy with one sword.
Soon we arrived at the entrance to the edge of the forest again.
I glanced at the time and it was already 3:45 in the afternoon.
It is no longer appropriate to go deep into the forest to level up at this time.
But if he is on the outer edge, whether it is wolves, bees or other types of reptiles, they can no longer bring him higher benefits.
Noel thought about it and decided to move forward.
He actually intended to try his luck in the hope of encountering a rare monster.
If any equipment is dropped, it can be given to Asuna.
The forest is huge, and the trees block out the sun, blocking out the sky, with only a little light shining through the leaves.
Accompanied by the sound of wind, the mottled shadows of the trees swayed.
Due to the dim light, Noel’s vision was slightly affected.
Sometimes you only see the appearance of the wild monster after walking five or six meters.
His feet stepped on a thick pile of leaves. There were yellow fallen leaves everywhere. If Noel looked carefully, he could see some insects crawling on them.
Strangely enough, these bugs were not included in the wild monster range, so Noel curiously tried to crush one to death.
Although it was a dense forest, there should be a lot of mosquitoes in such a place, but Noel did not hear any mosquitoes’ sounds, and the insects did not actively climb onto his body, but crawled on the dark ground.
Noel became more and more curious about this world.
In the forest, a young boy with dazzling blond hair walked proudly on a narrow path.
The goat path was discovered during the closed beta test period of Noel.
At the end of this path is the door to the room where the BOSS is.
Chapter 33: Killing Monsters of Higher Level (Old Version)
The narrow path will pass through the middle of the mountainside, where the carnivorous plant is located.
Noel had tricked Asuna and she had been blaming him for it, so he was quite impressed by this place.
The Piranha Plant is not easy to deal with for a novice, especially since Noel is only at level five.
You can only fight them one by one, and if you attract too much hatred, you can only retreat temporarily.
In SAO, you can actually kill monsters above your level, and the experience gained from killing monsters above your level is extremely rich, but you will have a special buff.
This buff is a debuff, and its effect is to determine how much damage reduction the monster can get based on the player’s level.
In short, if you jump levels, you have to do it within your ability.
Noel quickly reached the center of the valley. Unfortunately, although he saw many monsters along the way, he still didn’t see the hooded rat.
This made Noel quite regretful.
Forcing himself to stay alert, Noel began to look around at the terrain and soon spotted a lone Piranha plant.
After silently calculating the hatred range of the Piranha Plant in his mind, Noel retreated to a safe range, held a stone in his right hand, and began to aim.
The stone in his hand flashed with a blue glow, which was a sign that the skill was successfully activated.
The whistling sound that broke through the air carried the wind towards the carnivorous plant in the distance.
The Piranha Plant was hit by a stone, roared, and began to attack Noel. Once the monster is attacked by the player, it will have the ability to search for enemies.
Noel initially expected a single Piranha Plant, but it was obvious that two Piranha Plants were running over.
The more monsters there are, the harder it is to deal with them.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. This is exactly the truth.
Within a certain range, the increase in the number of monsters will increase the pressure on players exponentially.
In short, the pressure on Noel increased.
In fact, it is not difficult to deal with two Piranha Plants.
With his current equipment, it wouldn’t be so embarrassing that he couldn’t even break the defense.
The mechanism of the Piranha Plant is also extremely simple, with no special attack mechanism, which makes it much less difficult to deal with.
The most important thing to watch out for is the carnivorous plant with the enchanting red fruits. Anyone who doesn’t know the information will basically die if they touch it.
The carnivorous plant ran towards Noel along the mountain road.
Noel held the sword tightly in his right hand and took a deep breath. A large amount of oxygen was inhaled into the boy’s lungs. His heart beat violently and blood rushed into the whole body along with the heart.
Noel did not rush forward to meet the enemy.
He placed the sword against his waist, still using his familiar sword-drawing method.
But this time he wants to build up his strength.
The violent force began to gather, and the young man concentrated the force on the sword body.
The Sword God Style itself is based on the approach of killing with one strike. Although it is impossible for Noel to really kill the opponent across levels, the damage of this strike is definitely considerable.
The azure light flashed again and again, and Noel stepped back with his right foot and stepped forward with his left foot.
When the carnivorous plant rushed within five feet, Noel suddenly rushed forward.
The momentum has been condensed to the extreme, even the right hand holding the sword is trembling slightly, this is caused by the excessive power.
In just a breath, the boy rushed to the front of the carnivorous plant. The huge vines pulled towards Noel, and the mouth in front of its body opened, revealing hideous and sharp teeth.
It didn’t matter before, but now it seems extremely awkward.
It was not difficult for Noel to imagine what would happen if he was bitten by this thing.
Before it was a game and could be ignored, but now it’s different.
Rushing in front of the Piranha Plant, Noel’s speed suddenly increased again. The sword in his hand no longer flashed a blue light, but a pitch-black luster.
The pitch-black slash was drawn out, and in just a moment, the boy’s sword had been swung out, and the vines of the carnivorous plant were directly cut in two by the sword.
The sword’s momentum continued, the blade flashing a deep black light as it pierced into the bloated trunk of the Piranha Plant. The sharpness of the weapon was beyond the boy’s expectations, and with the powerful force, it pierced the opponent’s thick wall almost effortlessly.
Green liquid flowed out, and the HP of the Piranha Plant dropped rapidly. The originally green and healthy health bar directly turned into a red area.
But at the same time, the second carnivorous plant behind the one in front of him had arrived in front of him.
Noel gritted his teeth. He couldn’t care less about anything else at the moment. He directly used his sword skills, ignoring the other Piranha Plant. He grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and swung the sword hard.
Two hits.
Another ferocious slash appeared, this one was obviously not as strong as the first one, but it still failed to take down the opponent.
The vines of the Piranha plant entangled Noel, and Noel had to pull back.
He let out a long breath, his right arm trembled slightly, and the blue bar above his head had been consumed by more than half.
Noel did not retreat, but raised his sword again. There were only two small monsters now. He had killed a lot of these monsters during the closed beta period. He didn’t expect that he would have to deal with them for so long now.
Without using the sword-drawing style again, he raised the sword forward, and the Sword God Style’s moves flashed through the boy’s mind.
Raise the sword and stab.
Be fast.
The blue bar was consumed again, but this time it was not just the sword body, but Noel himself was wrapped in blue light.
An indescribable power surged through my body again.
Noel was very familiar with that kind of power. That kind of power was exactly the power possessed by the world of Reincarnation – Jobless.
Use magic power to strengthen yourself and increase your basic attributes to a terrifying level in a short period of time.
He had this idea when the game was in closed beta, and tried to use the blue bar to strengthen himself.
Of course, it failed unsurprisingly.
Because the rules of the SAO game are sword skills.
Only when releasing sword skills can all attributes be greatly improved.
But now, he tried again and succeeded.
Noel vaguely guessed what was going on.
It is estimated that the system converts the in-game world into reality, which causes certain rules to change.
I looked at the blue bar above my head and saw that it was decreasing at an alarming rate.
Noel no longer hesitated, and his sword turned into blue light and stabbed the opponent directly.
This is not a sword skill, just an ordinary stab.
But this sword was extremely fast. Only a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the sword blade pierced into the blood-depleted carnivorous plant. Its huge body twitched and fell to the ground, then turned into a blue light and disappeared.
After killing the carnivorous plant, Noel did not stop. He kicked another carnivorous plant. The huge force transmitted was so great that the carnivorous plant was kicked three meters away.
The Piranha Plant fell to the ground and struggled to get up. Noel raised his sword and stabbed it out. The muscles in his right hand bulged, and he pressed his center of gravity down and rushed forward.
The dirt flew everywhere, and the three-meter distance was reached almost instantly. He stepped hard again, and stepped down with violent force. The middle of the Piranha Plant’s trunk was directly dented, and green juice splashed. The HP on its head dropped rapidly.
Chapter 34 Forced transfer and logout button disappearance (old version)
Noel ignored the juice splashing on his body and stabbed down directly with the sword in his hand.
A cold light flashed, and the sword pierced through the opponent directly.
But even so, it was still struggling. After all, the HP of the Piranha Plant was still a bit high. Noel exerted a little force with his feet, and the intensity of its struggle was reduced a little.
He stabbed out three times with an expressionless face, and finally defeated the opponent.
At the same time, a strong feeling of dizziness came over me.
Noel frowned and rubbed his swollen brows. He was a man of strong mental strength, so he would not faint directly.
He glanced at the blue bar. At this moment, his blue bar was completely emptied, and that violent power also receded like the tide.
[Your level is increased to level 7]【System prompt: Have you understood???】
[Active Skill: Improves all aspects of your attributes as you inject magic power. The degree of improvement depends on the total amount of magic power injected.]Noel thought about it and named the skill Berserk.
After resting on the spot for five minutes, a blue light suddenly came and enveloped Noel.
Forced transmission.
Noel put on a smile and murmured, “Is it finally starting?”
It was still the familiar square, and players appeared one by one on the wide square.
This is the town of origin.
Noel took advantage of the fact that there were not many people around and quickly looked around for Asuna and Kiritani Kazuto.
As more and more blue lights appeared, a large number of players appeared in the square.
The melodious BGM of the game is transmitted to the player’s ears along with a breeze.
It turns out that if there is background music in real life, people’s mood will be improved by several levels.
Noel looked around and finally saw a black-haired uncle in a corner.
He stepped forward and grabbed the other person. After looking at his ID, Noel smiled and said, “You haven’t changed. You still use this name.”
Kiritani Kazuto was wondering who was holding him back, when he turned around he saw his eldest brother.
He ignored his elder brother’s teasing words and said bluntly: “Brother, haven’t you noticed anything unusual yet?”
Noel suppressed his smile and thought to himself that he had been transformed from a pile of data into a flesh and blood body.
Seeing Noel’s expression, Kiritani Kazuto said, “You must be aware that the logout button has disappeared.”
Noel consoled him: “It should be a bug.”
Kiritani Kazuto sighed and said, “If it’s a bug, this game might face some bad reviews. We have such high expectations for this game.”
Noel looked at the boy in front of him. It seemed that Kiritani Kazuto had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
After chatting with the boy for a while, Noel glanced at the huge skeleton holding a sickle standing next to him without saying a word. He smiled meaningfully, patted Kazuto Kiriya on the shoulder, and said with a smile: “I’m going to find Asuna, you guys chat.”
As the square became more and more crowded, it became more and more difficult for Noel to find people.
However, every time he passed a place, many players would set their eyes on him.
He has a handsome face, with almost perfect facial features, a high nose bridge, and a pair of sword-like eyebrows that make him look more heroic. His pair of red-gold eyes are bright and lively. Because he has been practicing sword for a long time, Noel always has a sharp temperament.
The boy was wearing a coarse linen shirt, which was just a gift for novices. It looked the same on everyone, but it was very different on the boy. He had bright and dazzling short hair and bangs parted in the middle of his forehead, revealing his handsome features. He was an extremely handsome man.
In Japan, people’s values ​​are basically determined by their appearance. When faced with such a young boy, even games can make those girls’ hearts beat fast. The boy’s temperament has a fatal attraction to those girls who have not seen the world.
Many male players even approached Noel and asked him to reveal the secret of face-shaping.
Noel looked indifferent. He looked around and said calmly, “I’m looking for someone. Please make way.”
The girl was attracted by the boy’s indifferent expression and blushed a little. The male players were whispering beside them. Noel had good ears and could hear most of what the players were talking about.
“What’s the point of looking good in the game? In real life, he might just be a fat otaku.”
“That’s right.”
Ha, Noel shook his head and ignored the sour players. Finally, he found Asuna, who looked confused, in a corner.
She just stood there in a daze.
When he saw Noel, he grabbed the boy as if he had seen a savior.
Asuna said seriously, “Takumi, I noticed that the logout button disappeared.”
Noel nodded.
Seeing the boy so calm, Asuna became a little anxious. She whispered, “It’s almost seven o’clock now. My mother will definitely scold me when she comes back.”
Noel shook his head, lamenting that even as an adult, Asuna was still afraid of her mother.
Although Asuna had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, Noel did not want to discourage Asuna and consoled her: “It’s okay, it should be a bug.”
But Asuna still had a bitter face.
As the number of players increased, the square gradually became noisy.
After all, there are quite a few players who have discovered the abnormality, and many people have found that the logout button has disappeared.
Loud noises began to be heard from various places, and the volume gradually increased. I kept hearing “What’s going on?” “Is this enough to log me out?” “Hurry up and let me log out!”
After a while, the noise from the crowd began to take on an anxious tone, and angry voices such as “Stop joking!” and “GM, get out here!” could be heard.
Suddenly someone’s voice drowned out the noisy sounds.
“Ah… look up there!”
Noel looked up subconsciously and saw a wonderful sight.
One hundred meters above the ground, at the bottom of the second layer, there was a bright red checkerboard pattern.
If you look closely, you can see that the pattern is formed by two English words arranged alternately. The two words written in bright red font are “warning” and “systemannou”.
“Is this GM?” Noel fell into deep thought. This was the first time he saw GM in real life.
The red pattern that covered the entire sky had a central part that looked like a huge drop of thick blood that was slowly dripping down. However, the blood did not drip onto the ground, but suddenly changed shape in mid-air.
What appeared there was a giant nearly twenty meters tall, wearing a crimson cloak.
He revealed his face from inside the hat that was pulled very low—but there was no face in that area, it was just a hole, and one could even clearly see the inside of the hat and the seams on the edge. And inside the long drooping hem, there was also only a faint darkness.
Chapter 35 Kayaba Akihiko’s Declaration (Old Version)
Kazuto Kiritani’s nervous expression gradually eased. He had seen such a cloak before. It was the clothing that the GMs of Argus members would wear during the closed beta test. But at that time, male GMs must have been old men with long beards who looked like magicians.
If it was a female character, she would be wearing glasses under the cloak. Now, maybe something went wrong and they couldn’t create a character, so at least they let the cloak appear first, but there was nothing under the crimson cloak, which made Kiritani Kazuto feel uneasy.
At this moment, as if to stop these sounds, the right sleeve of the cloak suddenly moved.
From the expanded cuffs, pure white gloves can be seen, but the sleeves and gloves are obviously separated from each other, and no flesh can be seen at all.
Then the left sleeve slowly rose up. Above the heads of the ten thousand players, the empty white gloves opened left and right, and it felt like the faceless man was opening his mouth, and then immediately a man’s deep and clear voice came from far above.
“Dear players, welcome to my world.”
“My name is Kayaba Akihiko. I’m the only one who can control this world right now.”
“I think all players have noticed that the logout button has disappeared from the main menu screen. But this is not a problem with the game. I repeat. This is not a problem with the game, but with the original version of Sword Art Online.”
“The… the original version?”
Countless players were in an uproar and the crowd was boiling.
“From now on, you will not be able to log out of this game until you reach the top of this castle.”
The man named Kayaba Akihiko paused for a moment to let everyone digest the information in his words, and then continued to speak to everyone:
“…Besides, there is no way for an outsider to stop or disable the operation of the nervgear. If someone tries to do so—”
There was a brief silence.
The following words were spoken slowly in the heavy silence of ten thousand people holding their breath:
“——The microwaves emitted by the signal component of the NervGear will destroy your brains and stop your life activities.”
Kayaba declared that if the power supply of the nervgear is cut off, or the lock is unlocked to remove it from the head, the user wearing the nervgear will be killed.
Asuna’s pupils constricted beside him, and Noel also showed a proper amount of shock.
Asuna grabbed Noel and said with a stiff expression, “This can’t be, this shouldn’t be, he must be lying to us, what is the original version, I want to get out, I want to get out.”
Noel didn’t know what to say, so he simply didn’t say anything.
Now all the players are going wild.
Noel can understand the player. If he were told that he was trapped in a game and that death in the game was also real death in reality, he would also be angry.
After all, you finally get home from get off work, and then encounter such a bad thing while playing a game. Anyone would be full of resentment.
In just a few seconds, the crowd was in an uproar. Countless people were whispering to each other. Some people said loudly to their companions: “Haha…what is that guy talking about? This is impossible. This kind of thing is impossible. NervGear…is just a game console.”
“The brain destruction program will only be executed if the external power supply is cut off for more than ten minutes, the network is disconnected for more than two hours, and an attempt is made to destroy the nervgear or release the lock. These conditions have been announced to the outside world through our company and the media. By the way, at this point in time, many of the players’ family and friends have ignored our warnings and tried to forcibly release the nervgear, and the result is…”
The loud metallic voice took a short breath when it came to this point.
“——Unfortunately, two hundred and thirteen players have permanently left the real world and Aincrad.”
A single scream came from nowhere. Apart from that, most of the players around either couldn’t believe it or didn’t want to believe it, with only a slight smile on their faces or a dazed look on their faces.
“You don’t need to worry about your bodies in the real world. All TV, radio, and online media are reporting this situation over and over again, and there are many casualties. So the risk of your nervgear being forcibly removed has been reduced to a very low level. From now on, your bodies in the real world will be transported to a hospital or other facilities and carefully cared for during the two-hour disconnection buffer period when wearing nervgear. I hope you can rest assured… just focus on clearing the game.”
“However, I hope everyone will pay special attention. For you, “Sword Art Online” is no longer just a game, but another real world. From now on… all resurrection functions in the game will be cancelled. So the moment your HP reaches zero, your character will be destroyed forever, and at the same time…”
“Your brains will be destroyed by the nervgear.”
hitpoint, the residual value of life.
The moment it becomes zero, you will truly die – according to Kayaba, you will die immediately because your brain will be cooked by microwaves.
This is indeed a game. A real game of life and death. In other words, a game of death.
Asuna’s face turned pale. Feeling her lost mood, Noel held her hand and whispered in her ear, “Are you okay? Asuna.”
The girl’s appearance was truly worrying, and only a big hug from Noel could comfort her.
Asuna lowered her head, feeling very unhappy.
Noel looked towards Kiritani Kazuto and saw that even he was in a very bad mood.
The worse speeches continued.
“There is only one condition that can free you all from this game. That is what I just mentioned. You must reach the highest floor of Aincrad, the 100th floor, and defeat the final demon king waiting there. I guarantee that at that moment, all surviving players will be able to log out of the game safely.”
Kayaba Akihiko’s words were like a spark that ignited a powder keg, and everyone immediately started to quarrel.
Chapter 36 The Death Game Officially Begins (Old Version)
“Finally, let me show you the proof that this world is the only reality for you. In your item slots are the gifts I prepared. Please take a look.”
Asuna followed Kayaba’s instructions and swung her finger almost automatically downwards. The surrounding players also did the same thing, and a series of electronic bell effects rang out in the square.
After tapping the item bar tab on the main menu that popped up, the gift Kayaba mentioned was at the top of the list of items displayed.
The name of the prop is – “Handheld Mirror”.
As Asuna muttered why she was given such a thing, Noel clicked on the name and selected the button to materialize it from the window that appeared. A small square mirror immediately appeared with a glowing sound effect.
The mirror reflected a face that was angular but very young.
The next moment, blue light flashed on the bodies of all the players, including Asuna. The light only lasted for two or three seconds, but when the vision opened up again, all they saw were strangers.
Those handsome and good-looking players disappeared, and many of them showed surprise and disbelief. Their companions looked at each other, and a voice echoed in almost the entire square:
“Who are you?”
Then they suddenly realized, touched their faces hurriedly, and looked at themselves in the mirror.
This is exactly who I am in the real world.
Asuna’s hairstyle has changed slightly, and her face has become a little younger and more childish, but she still looks the same.
Noel looked around casually and found several players who changed from female to male. Such players were definitely not a minority. He could understand their feelings. After all, he also liked to play female characters when playing games.
It’s not that male characters are not fun, it’s just that female characters are more cost-effective.
But the players were all wailing.
After all, everyone has some secrets to adjust their appearance to a certain extent. Everyone will improve their appearance a little bit. Isn’t this too much?
But now, everyone shows their true face.
But before Noel could react, a player next to him asked in surprise, “Why haven’t you changed at all?”
He was a middle-aged fat man with an ordinary appearance. He was obviously overweight and had a big belly, which gave people a funny feeling.
Noel shrugged and said, “This is what I look like in real life.”
The fat man fell silent. Not only him, but all the male players who heard this fell silent.
For a moment, Noel was terribly silent.
What should I do if there is a very good-looking person of the same sex nearby?
Although guys with good looks are very popular with the opposite sex, at the same time, most guys with good looks will be ostracized by the same sex.
When a person’s appearance is at the top among the same sex, most people will not have the intention to exclude him, but will subconsciously stay away from him.
After all, no one wants to admit that they are inferior to others.
Once they are inferior to others, if it is within an acceptable range, they will find ways to make things difficult for the other party.
The method of making things difficult for the other party does not need to be deliberate. It can be by not talking when meeting, or by making a fuss at a critical moment to make the other party look bad. Then, as the number of people increases, the situation will become more and more serious and eventually lead to school violence.
This is the case in Japan. The targets of school bullying are usually divided into three categories: those who are handsome but not good at speaking, those who have good grades but are not good at speaking, and those who are handsome and have good grades but are not good at speaking.
In short, school bullying usually targets those who are not good at speaking and have low self-confidence.
Kayaba Akihiko continued speaking without any pause.
“You must be wondering why. Why did SAO and NervGear’s developer Kayaba Akihiko do this? Is this a large-scale terrorist act? Or is it a kidnapping for ransom?”
Kayaba’s tone, which previously had no emotion at all, now had some emotion in it, and even Noel had to admit that Kayaba Akihiko was a very charismatic person.
Noel knew the young genius.
Kayaba Akihiko is known as a quantum physicist and a genius game designer. He is the foundation of NERvGear and the designer of SAO. He created the seed of the world: TheSeed.
A man with ordinary appearance has the ability to change the times.
It’s a pity that he chose this path.
“These are not my goals. I can even say that I no longer have any goals or reasons. If I were to ask why… it’s because this situation is the ultimate goal for me. To create this world and enjoy it, I invented NervGear and created SAO for this purpose. And now, all my goals have been achieved.”
After a brief moment of silence, Kayaba’s cold voice began to echo through the halls.
“…This is the end of the official game description for Sword Art Online. Dear players – good luck.”
The last sentence left a trace of echo before disappearing.
The huge bright red cloak rose silently, and starting from the tip of the hat, it seemed to melt and gradually assimilate with the system information covering the entire sky.
Its shoulders, chest, and limbs slowly sank into the blood-red water, leaving only a ripple spreading out. Then, the message that filled the entire sky disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared.
The sound of the wind blowing over the square and the BGM played by the NPC orchestra on the town streets gradually approached from afar, steadily touching everyone’s hearing.
The game returned to its original state. The only change was that some of the rules of the game had changed.
A group of 10,000 players showed the expected reaction.
In short, there were overwhelming and loud noises in many places, causing the entire square to shake.
The moment the red barrier around them disappeared, Noel pulled Asuna and ran away without even thinking.
Asuna was pulled away by Noel before she could react, and Noel sent a private message to Kirito.
Noel: Let’s go and kill the monsters. Do you want Suguha to cry over your corpse? We can kill them separately. It will be more efficient. If you have anything to say, please chat privately.
Kiritani Kazuto: …
Before Kiritani Kazuto could react, he saw the message. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, he swallowed, grabbed Mitt, and hurriedly said, “Let’s go, kill the monsters.”
When I turned around, I saw a girl with short purple hair and a cute and pretty face.
The girl was very pretty, with purple eyes like purple gems.
However, the girl’s height had dropped from almost two meters to only about 1.65 meters, which made Kiritani Kazuto a little unable to react.
Feeling the warm touch on his hand, Kiritani Kazuto swallowed subconsciously.
It’s not his fault. Apart from holding his sister’s hand, he has never had close contact with other girls since he was a child.
I really can’t blame him. It’s all because of that stay-at-home older brother who took him to play games every day and made him a otaku.
Chapter 37 Team Up with Asuna (Old Version)
On the other side, Noel pulled Asuna and said seriously: “I think you know everything.”
Asuna had a sad face and murmured, “It’s over.”
Noel slapped the girl on the forehead in annoyance and said seriously, “Cheer up, we have to defeat Kayaba Akihiko right now and crush his conspiracy.”
Asuna’s eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Noel expectantly and asked curiously, “Do you have a solution?”
Noel sneered. He couldn’t even protect himself, what else could he do.
He said seriously: “Why don’t we go to the 100th floor?”
The light in Asuna’s eyes went out, and she murmured again, “It’s over.”
Noel was speechless and said to her, “Since the fact has already happened, why not find a way to change it? What’s the point of complaining about yourself? Besides, it’s already like this, there’s no need to care about your mother anymore.”
After that, he pushed Asuna forward and said as he walked: “Life is all about looking forward. How can we always stay in the same place?”
“Okay, okay, let go, I’m leaving.” Asuna pushed the boy’s hand away and walked forward angrily.
“Asuna, what’s your level?” Noel walked up to Asuna and asked.
“Level 3.” Asuna frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Noel thought for a moment and said to the girl, “Let’s go kill the Piranha Plant.”
Asuna’s expression froze, and she paused. “I’m only level three now.”
The implication is why she should go and die.
Noel said: “You can pull them together and fight them. It’s absolutely no problem to pull them together and fight them one by one.”
Asuna looked at Noel and narrowed her eyes slightly. She said, “Is it really okay?”
Noel patted his chest and said righteously, “Absolutely no problem.”
After much persuasion from the young man, Asuna reluctantly agreed to his request and invited Asuna to form a team. After forming a team, the experience would be shared in a certain proportion according to the damage contribution.
On the way, he learned about some wolf-like creatures and took Asuna to the entrance of the woods.
After exchanging a glance with Asuna, the young man took the lead and strode forward, holding the fine steel sword in his right hand, and walked forward.
The mottled shade of the trees began to sway, and a gust of wind blew, blowing up the dry yellow leaves on the ground.
Noel looked around and occasionally attacked and killed some monsters instantly, leaving Asuna with no chance to attack at all.
Asuna fell into silence as she watched the young man slaughtering everyone in front of her.
Do you feel like you are of no use at all?
After clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers, we followed the narrow path and found the center of the valley again.
The center of the valley was not as densely forested as when they first entered the forest, and the sun shone directly down on the two of them.
Noel walked up the slope and popped his head out to take a look.
It is indeed a place where carnivorous plants gather.
The carnivorous plants around stood in groups of three or four, moving slowly and aimlessly.
Noel whispered to Asuna, “I will attract two or three Piranhas in a moment. After I finish my attack, you can attack again and send the zombies directly.”
Seeing that Asuna understood what he meant, the boy took a deep breath, picked up a stone on the ground with his right hand, and began to exert force.
The stone was shining with a blue luster. Noel looked around and picked out a relatively close Piranha Plant. After checking that there were no other Piranha Plants with enchanting fruits nearby, he threw it out directly.
The stone was moving very fast, with a whistling sound, it drew a parabola in the air and quickly smashed into the head of the Piranha Plant, causing the Piranha Plant’s HP to drop a little bit.
In an instant, it and the two carnivorous plants beside it began to move.
The search mechanism was activated, and it quickly approached the direction of Noel.
The Piranha Plant is indeed a peculiar species. Not only does it look scary, its walking posture is also very special.
Noel whispered, “I’m ready to go, just follow my instructions.”
Asuna nodded, and Noel stood up, walked forward a distance, began to lower his center of gravity, tightly grasped the fine steel sword in his right hand, and used the Sword God Style’s sword drawing style.
He exhaled, and the sword began to gleam with a blue luster.
The muscles of his right arm bulged and he lowered the sword to his waist.
Watching the Piranha Plants getting closer and closer, he suddenly drew his sword when they got close.
The sword body flashed with a cold light, and the sword force was as fast as thunder. The sword was very fast, so fast that it was unbelievable.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a hideous wound appeared on the chest of the Piranha Plant that was hit first, and its HP dropped rapidly until it reached the red area.
Green juice slowly dripped down the wound and fell to the ground.
Two carnivorous plants rushed out from behind him, and a blue glow appeared on Noel’s body. Magic power began to wrap around his whole body. For a moment, a huge amount of power surged out like a tide, flowing through Noel’s limbs and bones.
Noel kicked the nearest carnivorous plant three meters away. The sound of the carnivorous plant falling to the ground was heard. Noel gripped the hilt of the sword with his left hand, changing the one-handed sword into a two-handed sword, and another slash cut through the bloated body of the carnivorous plant.
The Piranha Plant, which already had low health, had its HP completely depleted.
“Asuna, switch!” Noel shouted.
Asuna rushed out quickly, and the one-handed rapier in her hand turned into a swift stab at the Piranha Plant. The vines of the Piranha Plant that stretched towards Noel were pierced by Asuna’s rapier.
One-handed rapiers are meant to be fast, and although Asuna’s attack failed to cause much damage to the Piranha Plant, it did cause it to become stiff.
Stiffness means being unable to move after being hit.
This is a kind of restraint that SAO imposes on monsters and bosses. Once attacked by players, they cannot make any response.
Of course, the so-called attack judgment also has certain standards. Only sword skills and effective damage will be counted as stiffness judgment.
Noel took a breath quickly. Although the previous attack was powerful, he also had to adjust his breathing and take a breath at that time.
Noel shouted, “Switch!” and stepped forward, grasping the hilt of the sword with his right hand and stabbing out quickly.
This was not a sword skill, but just a simple stabbing move. However, even so, it was only slightly slower than Yasuna’s single-shot sword skill.
Asuna pulled back and waited for her sword skills to cool down.
The sword pierced into its chest, and Noel kicked it suddenly, knocking it to the ground.
The Piranha Plant on the other side stood up and rushed towards Noel.
Asuna took a step forward to intercept the last Piranha Plant.
The Piranha Plant was kicked down by a huge force, its ferocious mouthparts at the front fell to the ground, and its sharp teeth dangled everywhere.
Noel felt a chill when he saw this.
Without hesitation, he finished off the enemy.
Three swords were thrust out, each of which pierced through the opponent, clearing the HP of the Piranha Plant.
“Noel, hurry up.” Asuna’s voice came.
Chapter 38 Melancholy Paul (Old Version)
Noel nodded, and this time he did not go berserk, but just used his usual sword skills to deal with the Piranha Plant.
After the battle, Asuna looked at Noel in surprise. She asked curiously, “What kind of sword skill is this? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you use it before?”
Asuna wasn’t talking about the sword drawing style, she was asking about the blue light coming out of the boy’s body.
Noel smiled and explained, “When you are able to master your own unique sword skills, gain recognition from the system, and use them, you will gain unique skills.”
This was Noel’s explanation to Asuna, but only he knew the truth.
The world now is the real world, not the game world controlled by Kayaba Akihiko.
In other words, his skill bar is now completely controlled by himself.
He played the game in this way for nearly two hours, and got a few weapons of decent quality. Unfortunately, the hooded rat never showed up, which made Noel feel helpless.
It is dark now. There are hunger and fatigue values ​​in the game. Although players cannot feel them, they will be debuffed if they do not eat. Also, the beasts at night will become more ferocious and difficult to deal with.
Feeling the sticky feeling on his body, Noel thought that he should go back to change his clothes and ask about the situation with Kiritani Kazuto and the others.
Pulling Asuna, he skillfully returned to the starting town, found an inn, and looked at the price. It wasn’t expensive, 200 Col, not that expensive. A Piranha plant cost about 100 Col.
Kerr is the currency of this world, and this currency is needed for food, accommodation, and purchasing equipment.
On the road, both players and NPCs looked at Noel with strange expressions.
There was no other reason. The boy’s body was covered with green juice and he exuded a strange smell all over.
Asuna didn’t know what to say. The monster’s juice had clearly stained her clothes, but as long as the monster died and some time passed, the sticky juice would disappear.
Noel waved and gave Asuna a bright smile.
It’s a pity that the boy’s handsome face looks a little hideous because his head is covered with filth.
Noel said: “Go get a room first. Of course, if you want, you can come to my room.”
Listening to the boy’s teasing words, Asuna’s mouth twitched, and she said lazily: “You should finish your own business first.”
After saying that, he walked into the hotel without looking back.
Noel went to the bathhouse to take a bath, soaked comfortably for a while, cleaned his whole body, put on his clothes, and then went to the store to buy two bottles of low-level mana recovery potions.
After another meal, he spent almost half of his money. Noel sighed that the prices were really high and complained silently.
I went to a hotel and booked a small room. The dim moonlight poured through the curtains and illuminated the room.
Noel laid down on the bed and started texting with Kiritani Kazuto.
Noel: Kirito, what level are you now?
After a while, Kirito started replying to the messages.
Kirito: Level 9.
Noel: I’m level 10.
Kirito: You still have the nerve to compare yourself with others now. I don’t know how Suguha is doing out there.
Noel: Mother should come back too. So, what do you think of that person?
Kirito: Who?
Noel: Pretend to be with me. You know who I’m talking about, Usagi Fukasumi.
Kirito: She’s pretty awesome and helped me a lot. It’s all thanks to her that I was able to level up so quickly.
Noel: Did you touch it?
In the town of origin, two people sat opposite each other in a restaurant.
Kazuto Kiriya looked at the message sent by the boy with a stiff expression, and recalled the soft and warm touch of the girl’s hand this afternoon, which made Kazuto Kiriya subconsciously glance at the girl opposite.
The rabbit lake is deep and clear.
A very cute and delicate girl, who speaks carelessly and has none of the reserve of a little girl. This is the impression that Kiritani Kazuto has of her.
But that was during the closed beta test. As for now, both of them were just eating in silence.
It can be seen that she is not in a good mood.
Kiritani Kazuto swallowed and consoled him, “Well, you don’t have to be sad.”
Usagi Fukasumi raised her eyes and glanced at Kiritani Kazuto. She pretended to be relaxed and said, “I just haven’t reacted yet. It’s okay. You will get used to it in a few days.”
Kiritani Kazuto wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t speak. Indeed, in a situation like this, the best solution is to let the other party slow down.
Inside the room, seeing that the other party was slow to reply, Noel smiled but said nothing.
Click on Asuna’s chat interface and start sending messages.
Noel: Are you asleep?
Asuna: Asleep.
Asuna replied immediately.
Noel continued typing.
Noel: You can’t be considered asleep like this. What’s wrong? Are you still thinking about what happened today?
The other party did not reply to the message.
After waiting for a while, there was still no news.
I sighed indifferently. If this guy doesn’t want to reply, then don’t reply.
Feeling a little tired, Noel fell into a dream.
The world of Reincarnation without Job.
Letting go of his control over Takumi Kiritani, Noel turned his head and looked at the yellow-haired kid in front of him with great displeasure.
He shouted, “Rudeus, have you learned swordsmanship? Are you still playing with Sylphy?”
Rudius scratched his head and looked at Noel strangely.
He whispered, “Brother, you can’t stop me from pursuing love just because your new love ran away.”
Noel fell silent, then became angry and said: “Let’s put it this way. Have you learned swordsmanship? It’s been several years now, and your swordsmanship is still so bad.”
Rudeus was dissatisfied and said, “I am a magician. I just need to learn swordsmanship.”
Noel’s expression was serious, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his handsome face. He stared directly at Rudius and said, “Rudius, if Paul hears what you said, you will definitely be beaten.”
Speaking of Paul, Rudius obviously shrank his neck, and it was obvious that he had been beaten a lot during this period.
But Rudeus continued to do as he pleased and played Sticky with Sylphy.
Noel was angry at his lack of fighting spirit, he looked up at the sky, tears flashing in his eyes.
The 730th day of remembering Luo Qixi.
It has been two years since Luo Qixi left. Apart from occasionally communicating with Luo Qixi, there has been no pretty young lady to accompany him.
Every day is boring sword practice.
Since there was no woman to disturb his mind, he successfully relied on his own understanding to reach the level of Sword God Style’s advanced swordsmanship, and now, he is only ten years old.
The ten-year-old senior swordsman, when Noel and Paul were evenly matched in battle, Paul waved his hand silently, indicating that he could no longer teach Noel.
Paul was always worried about this.
Paul has been smiling less and less recently, and even when he was being close to Senis, he could not hide his fatigue.
Chapter 39 Sword Training (Old Version)
It is worth mentioning that Paul, this idiot, eventually made the same mistake as in the original book.
Should we say that Paul is worthy of this? Although Paul promised to live a good life with Senis, it seems that he still can’t control his lustful nature.
So in the winter two years ago, Paul’s situation was not easy.
Paul had always been a man of high energy, and Noel knew that.
When Senis was pregnant, he had been restraining himself and living a life without desires.
But with Paul’s character, how could he always be so honest?
And then, nothing happened.
As expected, an accident happened.
That day, seeing Paul’s uncomfortable expression, Noel wanted to laugh.
Logically speaking, there is no problem in having three wives and four concubines in another world. This world is just like Europe. Not to mention having three wives and four concubines, as long as you have the ability, you can marry as many wives as you want.
But Senis’s faith is Miris. She is a devout believer of the church and she strictly abides by the monogamy of the church law when marrying Paul. Although she knows that Paul’s character may break the agreement one day in the future, she still chooses to be with Paul because of the verbal promise.
This also led to Paul always maintaining a deep affection for Senice.
Senis also knew that Paul and Lilia had a good relationship, and still allowed Lilia to become a maid at home, but she was still angry when she learned that Paul had cheated on her.
Due to the complexity of the situation, Noel could not say much. Also, it was winter at that time, so if Lilia returned to her hometown at this time, then only death would await Lilia and her unborn child. Noel helplessly winked at Rudius, and with the two of them singing the same tune, they threw all the blame on Paul, thus allowing Lilia to continue to stay at home.
Noel can still remember Paul’s stunned and helpless expression, but it was Paul’s own mistake after all, and he is the only one who can take the blame.
But Rudius’ life became difficult after that. As soon as winter was over, Paul found Rudius with a grin on his face, and under the pretext of training, he gave Rudius a severe beating.
Rudius complained bitterly and was forced to accept all the training.
As for Noel, since he is very strong, it would not be possible to embarrass him even if someone wanted to.
As time went by, Paul had a clearer sense of Noel’s strength.
With the birth of Senis and Lilia’s child, Paul was really busy and had a headache a year ago.
Because of the Lilia incident, Paul’s status in the family continued to decline, and he successfully became the lowest person in the family.
Its status is comparable to that of Paramecium.
Time will always dilute everything.
Looking at the two fair and cute little ones, even Senis’s anger dissipated a lot.
Although he still has some resentment towards Paul, he already treats Lilia as a family member.
Senis is a kind person. Having such a daughter-in-law makes Noel sigh that Paul has such bad luck.
When two cute babies were born, the whole family was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
Paul ran back and forth, and Noel also smiled.
This will be my sister in the future, and I will have a younger sister in the future.
Senis’s daughter is called Noren Greyrat, and Lilia’s daughter is called Aisha Greyrat. Both are extremely cute little girls.
Paul also had a lot of things to do. He had been taking care of his two daughters for some time, but he couldn’t just leave Noel and Rudius alone.
He was in a laissez-faire management for almost half a year, and only when he had free time did he really practice with Noel and Rudius.
Then Paul had his headache.
He knew Noel’s talent and expected that Noel would leave this home sooner or later and go to a wider world.
But he never imagined that Noel’s progress would be so rapid that even he would have to use most of his strength to deal with Noel.
This situation continues to worsen as the number of encounters increases.
From the original 70% of the strength to 80% of the strength, and then to the final 90% of the strength.
By now, Paul had to use all means to restrict Noel.
Although he hadn’t fought with Noel for a while due to his daughter’s affairs, he could keenly notice that Noel was still getting stronger.
Paul is a confident person, but he is also a conceited person. However, when he witnessed Noel’s rise step by step with his own eyes, even he had to admit that Noel was indeed better than him.
Therefore, Paul discussed the matter with Senis with a worried look on his face more than once.
“My son’s future shouldn’t stop here, he should have a better teacher.” These are Paul’s original words.
I thought I could hold on for a while, but I still didn’t expect Noel to grow so fast.
But who should he turn to? Paul didn’t know.
I recently had a headache after learning about the magic academy from Roxy’s letter.
The Magic Academy is home to the world’s top academies, but unfortunately, the tuition there is quite high, and both Noel and Rudius at home are extremely talented, so it would undoubtedly be unfair to the other to let either of them go to school.
But if that were the case, the family had too little money to guarantee that both of them could go to magic school at the same time.
What’s more, Rudeus hopes that Sylphy can go to school with him.
Paul has been getting more and more wrinkles lately.
Paul sighed and estimated the time. It was time for another assessment.
He stood up, dressed, picked up the wooden sword, and walked out of the house.
The grass is growing, the birds are singing, and all things are reviving.
It was spring at the time, without the heat of summer or the cold of winter. The spring breeze blew past Paul’s clothes.
Outside the house, Noel was standing silently beside the wooden stake, holding a slender sword in his right hand, but if you look closely, you will find that the boy’s sword is actually a little different.
To be precise, this is a homemade wooden sword. The sword body is not as thick as ordinary wooden swords. The slender sword body is 3 feet long. Because it is made of wood, the sword body itself is not sharp.
This wooden sword also symbolizes the path Noel plans for the future.
He actually intended to take the path of speed.
Paul took a deep breath. To be honest, the more battles he had fought recently, the more frightened he became. He was already a little unsure of his son’s strength.
Paul pretended to be serious and said, “Noel, start training and let me see your strength.”
Noel is now eleven years old and still has a handsome face.
Long-term exercise has made Noel’s body slender but not thin.
Noel took off his coat, revealing a strong and slender figure.
Noel was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, and the boy’s abdominal muscles could be vaguely seen.
Paul’s smile was a little stiff. Standing ten meters away from Noel, he said, “Let’s get started. We can only use swordsmanship.”
Noel nodded, held the wooden sword horizontally, and made a standard Sword God Style starting move.
Paul’s face was solemn, and he also assumed the starting posture of the Sword God Style.
Chapter 40 Noel’s Swordsmanship Strength (Old Version)
The two looked at each other.
Noel stepped forward with his right foot, took a deep breath, and the muscles in his right arm bulged. In just a moment, the two figures disappeared.
Ten meters was still too close for the two of them. With Noel and Paul’s physique, they could almost reach each other in the blink of an eye.
The wooden sword clashed with the wooden sword, and Noel and Paul were evenly matched in their first fight.
But Noel’s expression was serious. Although Paul usually looked careless, his fighting style was actually very dirty. Several times before, Paul had silently switched to the Water God Style’s swordsmanship, causing Noel a lot of trouble.
Paul’s Water God Flow is also extremely powerful. Once the attack is blocked by Paul, the next attack will be a fatal blow from Paul.
Paul increased his strength, and Noel felt an indescribable force coming from the sword, spreading from the sword.
After all, Noel’s physical fitness cannot be compared with Paul’s. Without the enhancement of magic, he can only be suppressed by Paul.
Noel knew that he could no longer fight with the opponent, and fighting with Paul would undoubtedly be a way to death.
He took a step back and the wooden sword drew a semicircle, which surprisingly had the effect of using a small force to move a large object, and it forcibly removed Paul’s strength. A cold light flashed in Paul’s eyes, and he suddenly spread out his hands.
As for why they were allowed to use their hands during a sword fight, Paul shamelessly said that this was a type of Water God Style.
Noel retreated quickly and pulled out the wooden sword in his right hand. Paul’s hand grabbed nothing, but he still had a smile on his face and quickly moved towards Noel.
Swordsmen rely heavily on momentum. In this fight, Noel suffered a small loss, and it will be more difficult for him to face Paul.
Paul flipped the wooden sword, and it moved towards Noel with a sound of breaking through the air.
Noel retreated again, his figure retreating again and again.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Paul’s eyes, and his speed suddenly increased again.
Noel had been on guard against Paul, and sure enough, the insidious Paul had another trick up his sleeve.
In fact, Noel was at a great disadvantage in this competition from the very beginning. Ever since Noel crushed Paul in all aspects with his magic a year ago, Paul added a new rule that forbids the use of magic to strengthen himself.
This means that you have to completely surpass your opponent in terms of skills in order to win.
The wooden sword cut through the air at an incredible speed, and in Noel’s eyes, the sword became bigger and bigger.
If he was hit by this sword, without saying anything else, Noel would at least have to lie down for a while.
Noel swung the wooden sword in his right hand suddenly, intending to take the sword head-on.
When the swords collided, a powerful force was instantly transmitted to Noel along the blade.
Noel felt his palms cracking and he almost couldn’t hold the wooden sword anymore.
Paul became more and more frightened as the fight went on. He never expected that his son’s physical fitness had reached this level.
Rudius, who was standing next to him, was looking at the two people whose figures were flashing. The occasional explosions in the air showed that neither of them was giving up.
Noel grimaced in pain and kicked Paul, but Paul was quick-witted and dodged sideways. Noel took the opportunity to step back a few steps.
Change the wooden sword from being held horizontally in the right hand to being held horizontally in the left hand.
He exhaled again, and suddenly, Noel’s aura changed drastically.
Noel held down the wooden sword at his waist with his left hand, ready to strike with the Sword God Style.
Bending forward slightly, pressing down the center of gravity, and gathering all the power in his body, Noel said seriously, “Father, I’m going to do it.”
A tremendous force gathered, and his left arm trembled slightly due to the enormous power.
Suddenly, he took a step forward with his right foot, and his figure disappeared from the spot almost instantly.
Paul showed a weird smile, he raised the wooden sword horizontally, and used the Water God Flow, he wanted to use this move to end Noel.
Noel did not attack Paul directly, but ran around Paul quickly, looking for Paul’s flaws.
The more Noel did this, the bigger the smile on Paul’s face became.
Paul’s experience in many battles is far beyond that of Noel. He adjusted his position, crouched down to defend, and always kept his eyes on the place where Noel passed.
“Front left?” Paul had extremely sharp hearing and first-rate awareness of danger in battle. He quickly adjusted his position and never turned his back to Noel.
Noel felt his heart beating inside his body, his blood and magic were unusually active, his mind was unusually clear, and feeling the whistling wind, Noel suddenly attacked.
He was not actually looking for Paul’s flaws. The Sword God Style’s momentum could not be accumulated in a short time. He did this in the hope that his sword power could reach its maximum. With every step Noel took forward, the momentum on his body became more solid.
When the momentum reached its peak, Noel suddenly rushed towards Paul.
With every step Noel took, he left a huge footprint on the ground. He flipped the wooden sword in his left hand and swung it out suddenly. There was a loud noise in the air. Paul could clearly feel the fierceness of the sword in the boy’s hand. Paul narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a wooden sword getting closer and closer.
In an instant, Paul made a move, and the wooden sword collided again. The soil under Paul’s feet was crushed instantly, and Paul’s body began to retreat continuously.
Feeling the force of this terrifying blow, even Paul had to admit that the boy was very strong.
But that’s all.
When Paul took on all of Noel’s strength, that was when Noel was defeated.
The Water God’s counterattack was extremely terrifying.
Even Noel cannot guarantee that he can withstand the opponent’s counterattack.
But, who said that we have to take the opponent’s attack head-on?
Paul made a quick move at the moment when Noel’s momentum gradually faded.
The sword was as fast as thunder, and it was extremely fast. Paul imagined that if Noel was only at this level, he still would not be able to take the sword.
But with a look of surprise on his face, Noel actually took a small step to the right, but it was this small step that just avoided Paul’s attack, and the wooden sword brushed past Noel’s clothes.
[Sword Heart (Level 1): Passive Skill][Features: All sword skills attack bonus 10%, sword skills comprehension slightly increased, there is a chance to trigger insight in duel][See through: See through the opponent’s next attack]This is a skill that Noel suddenly realized while practicing sword half a year ago.
The chance of triggering the insight mentioned in the skill description is not entirely based on luck, but on that little bit of probability.
When the enemy’s strength is closer or weaker, or the battle is more intense, it will be easier to trigger this state.
Paul’s counterattack was quick, there is no doubt about that.
He believed that no one would be able to react, and even if there was, it would not be something that Noel could react to at the moment.
The moment Paul attacked, Noel’s wooden sword smashed towards Paul’s back.
Then Paul was hit hard and fell straight to the ground with his face on the ground.
Chapter 41 Preparation for a Long Journey (Old Version)
Noel stepped forward and pulled his fallen father up.
Paul stood up and said with some emotion: “Noel, you have grown up, you should have a better master. In a few days I will ask an old friend of mine to teach you swordsmanship.”
As soon as Noel heard it, he knew who Paul was talking about, the Sword King Gileno.
It looks like Alice’s story is about to begin.
But to be honest, when Noel thought of Alice’s bad temper, he also felt a headache.
She doesn’t have as good a temper as Luo Qixi, and her attitude towards strangers is unreasonable.
While Noel was lost in thought, Paul suddenly asked, “Noel, can you tell me how you dodged that attack?”
Paul was indeed very confused. Logically, the young man would definitely not be able to avoid that blow, but the facts were before him, which made Paul very confused.
Noel couldn’t describe the skill in words, so he could only say, “It was my intuition. I felt how my father would attack, so I dodged in advance.”
Paul put on a bitter smile and said, “Your talent is really terrifying. If the teacher saw you, he would probably be eager to accept you as his disciple.”
Paul sighed and said to Rudeus who was standing aside in a daze: “Rudeus, come over and train.”
Rudius swallowed subconsciously and forced a smile. He knew his father’s bad character very well. After suffering at the hands of Noel, he would definitely get back at someone else.
But he is no match for Paul, and even using magic may not be able to defeat him.
Not surprisingly, amid Paul’s loud rebuke, Rudius was beaten to a pulp and was eventually knocked down by Paul with a single sword.
Paul was a little speechless and said: “Can you learn from your big brother? The difference in strength is too obvious.”
Rudius collapsed to the ground, expressionless and said: “Father, there may be only one person as evil as Noel in this world.”
Paul sighed, waved his hand helplessly and said, “Just prepare for the next few days.”
Rudius asked curiously: “What’s wrong? What are you preparing for?”
Paul grabbed Rudius and brushed off the dirt on him. He said, “It’s time for you to go on a long journey and earn some money for your Sylphy’s tuition. Although our family has some wealth, it is definitely not enough to support two people to go to school, let alone three people.”
After that, Paul looked at Noel and said, “You learn sword skills from Gilenu. After you have learned all the sword skills from this muscular woman, go find the Sword God to learn.”
The Sword God, one of the seven great powers, has an extremely terrifying strength.
The sixth power: “Sword God”.
The Sixth Power is the only human among the Seven Powers. Like the “Fighting God”, the “Sword God” does not have a stable name. The main reason for this is that the human race has a short lifespan, so there are not many strong people who hold the name of “Sword God”. They all squeezed into the position of the strongest in the world with human bodies, which shows how strong they are.
To be honest, the human race is not that powerful. It does not have the longevity of the long-eared people, the strange characteristics of the demons, or the powerful and majestic body of the dragons. The human race can only be considered mediocre.
But every once in a while, some young people with outstanding talents appear.
The Sword God is the representative of that generation of young people.
Being able to successfully obtain the honor of Sword God basically means that his strength is the peak combat power of the contemporary human race.
Noel nodded in understanding. Indeed, if he wanted to defeat the Dragon God, he had to grow up quickly in reality.
He opened his property panel.

To be honest, he is quite satisfied with his own strength now. He has reached this level just by practicing hard. Moreover, his body has not yet fully developed and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.
But his current strength is still not enough, he still needs more powerful power.
I can’t become a powerful shadow master with my current self.
Noel’s definition of a powerful shadow man: handsome, powerful, and dominating everything behind the scenes.
Noel began to continue training himself while also developing new uses for magic.
Time flies. Two days is not a long time and it goes by in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Paul called Rudius and Noel into the living room very seriously.
Paul looked around at the two of them, his serious expression relaxing slightly, but when he saw Rudius, his face subconsciously tightened again.
Noticing this detail, Rudeus was speechless.
After a long pause, Paul said, “Rudius, Noel, you should leave today.”
Noel nodded calmly. He had been prepared. All the things in the house had been packed into a package and were ready to go at any time.
Rudius was a little reluctant, because Paul had said that they might be gone for a long time.
He wouldn’t be able to see Sylphy for a while, so he tried to ask Paul if he could take Sylphy away.
Paul gave him an idiot look, which made Rudius feel very embarrassed.
Noel didn’t feel anything. Traveling far away was necessary. Even if Paul didn’t say anything, Noel would go and embark on a new journey.
Being the Sword God of Shilipo is indeed cool, but there is a wider world out there.
The weather was clear and sunny. Today, there was a rustling sound of horse hooves. A muscular beast warrior got off the carriage. She had a cold face, a hideous scar on her face, and an eye patch on her face. She looked like a big sister, and at this moment, she gave people a very fierce and cold expression. She was wearing a very revealing leather jacket, and there were scars everywhere on her body.
She got off the carriage indifferently, and saw only Noel and Rudius. She looked around curiously and asked, “Where’s Paul?”
Chapter 42: Sword King Gilena (Old Version)
Senis explained to Gilenu, “Paul is in the room with his other two daughters. These are my two children. Paul wants them to study with you.”
Gilenu nodded and said nothing.
Noel bowed and performed a standard courtesy and said, “Hello, I am Paul’s eldest son, Noel Greyrat, you can call me Noel.”
Rudius saluted and said, “I am Paul’s second son, Rudius Greyrat. You can call me Rudius.”
Gilenu nodded and said, “As Paul’s children, you are quite polite. Just call me Gilenu. Come on in the car.”
After saying that, he strode forward and got directly into the carriage.
The coachman was a middle-aged man with tanned skin. He was leisurely smoking a pipe.
Senis waved goodbye to the two with tears in her eyes. The carriage drove slowly away into the distance. Rudius stared at the door of his house with tears in his eyes.
He fertilizes the small tree with yellow flowers every day.
The gap on the door frame of his house was created by him using a water ball technique.
Rudeus sighed deeply at the thought of leaving the lovely Sylphy.
Noel curled his lips in disdain and glanced at Rudius who was sighing.
This guy is like this. The characteristics of NEET are difficult to change. When encountering problems that are difficult to solve, he will always subconsciously escape.
As everyone got on the carriage.
Gileno took out a letter and said, “This is from Senis. She said it was from Paul. I can’t read. Can you read it for me?”
Rudius asked curiously, “How did you read the letter before? You said before that you learned about our situation from Paul’s letter.”
Gilenu said calmly, “Of course I asked someone else to read it for me.” She handed the envelope to Rudius, who was closest to her.
Rudius nodded in understanding, took the envelope, opened it, and read: “Dear Rudius and Noel, since you are reading this letter, I am afraid I am no longer in this world.”
“What?” Gilenu exclaimed and stood up.
Noel looked at the 1.8-meter-tall beastman. To be honest, he didn’t expect the roof of this carriage to be so high…
“Please sit down, Gileno. There are more behind.” Rudius asked Gileno to sit down.
“Well, I see.” Gileno sat down.
The corner of Noel’s mouth twitched. The painting style was too bizarre and he didn’t know what to say.
Rudeus continued, “I was just joking. I just wanted to write this down. I think you must be confused about what happened. You can ask the muscle tumbler in front of you… Although I really want to say this, his brain is made of muscles, so he probably can’t explain it in detail.”
“What!” Gilenu roared and stood up.
Noel curiously leaned over to take a look at the contents of the envelope, and said to the beastman, “Sit down, Gilenu, the next paragraph is praising you.”
“Well, I see.” After saying that, Gileno really sat down obediently.
Noel was amazed and felt that this person was extremely interesting.
Rudius glanced at the blond guy standing next to him. From his expression, one could tell that this guy had some bad idea.
Rudeus continued to read the letter in his hand: “That guy is the Sword King. If you want to learn swordsmanship, you won’t be able to find someone more suitable than her unless you go to the Holy Land of Swordsmen. Dad can vouch for her strength because I have never beaten her… except in bed.”
Noel curled his lips, lamenting that Paul had a short memory. Rudius’s face twitched as well, and he roared in his heart, “Stop writing unnecessary words, you stupid Paul.”
However, Gilenu’s expression was not that unhappy.
This made Rudius feel a little relieved. After all, the big sister in front of him looked very difficult to deal with.
“Well, Rudeus’s job is to go to the largest city in Fitoya Territory and serve as a tutor for a certain young lady. I want you to teach her arithmetic, reading and writing, and simple magic. She is a very willful young lady, and very rude, to the point that the school asked her not to go to school. So far, many tutors have been driven away by her… But I believe you should be able to think of a way to deal with it.”
“How can you come up with a solution? You actually push all the problems onto me to solve…” Rudius complained softly. He felt a little strange and did not mention Noel’s name.
After glancing at the following content, Rudius continued reading: “As for Noel, with his strength, he will surely be able to learn the sword skills that Gilena has very quickly. Wait until Noel can defeat her before going to the Holy Land of Swords. With such strength, even if you go there, the master will take good care of you.”
Gileno looked at Noel with great surprise.
Looking closely, long, smooth golden hair was tied behind her, and the sunlight shone through the curtains onto Noel’s handsome face.
The red-gold pupils always give people a sense of majesty, and the dazzling long hair adds a touch of charm to the boy.
“Interesting, Paul said that you will be able to learn all my sword skills soon.” Gileno said lightly.
She had no complaints, but was surprised that Paul would praise his son so highly.
Rudius continued to read the letter in his hand: “In the next five years, Rudius, you must live in the eldest lady’s house and teach her. Five years. During this period, you are not allowed to go home or write letters. Because as long as you are here, Sylphy cannot be independent. And not only Sylphy, I feel that even you have a tendency to be overly dependent on her, so I decided to force you to separate. But with your eldest brother here, I think even if something bad happens, you can try to ask him for help. As for whether Noel agrees or not, it is his business.”
Rudeus exclaimed, “Five years!!”
The development plan was interrupted early, which made Rudius a little discouraged and deflated.
Glancing at Rudius, Noel said unhappily, “What’s that expression on your face? We are going to learn swordsmanship from Gilenu. You should be more restrained in your character. You always think about indecent things.”
Rudius sighed, forced to accept the bleak reality, but then he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Noel with expectation, and he slowly said: “Brother, you are the best to me, you will help me?”
Chapter 43 Paul’s Arrangement (Old Version)
Noel was disdainful. How did he treat him on weekdays? Didn’t he know? He could even say such shameless words.
Nuo Erman said slowly: “Don’t look at me, I have no way. Educating children is a very troublesome thing.”
Rudeus wailed, he could already see his bleak future.
I don’t know if my tutoring mission will be successful, Sylphy won’t be able to see him for a while, and now I can’t even send him a letter.
However, if we calm down and think about it, Paul’s argument does make sense.
If Sylphy continues to grow up in this state, she might become the childhood sweetheart character that appears in the old-fashioned 18+ games. That is, the kind of character that always follows the protagonist closely, becomes a satellite that revolves around the protagonist as if the protagonist is the center of the world, and lacks self-personality.
If this were the real world, her over-dependence would have been gradually resolved as she interacted with friends and studied at school, but Sylphy couldn’t make friends because of her hair color.
Even after another five years, she would most likely still be clinging to Rudeus.
Although Rudeus didn’t care about the situation, the adults around him didn’t seem to think so.
After thinking this through, Rudius couldn’t help but sigh. He could understand it, but it was still too difficult for him to accept it.
Gilenu and Noel were watching the fun nearby, and Gilenu suddenly asked, “What’s wrong, Rudius? Did you break up with your lover?”
Rudius sighed and said, “Paul just kicked me out of the house.”
Looking at the letter, Rudius continued to read: “As for compensation, Rudius, you will get two Asura silver coins every month. Although this amount is lower than the market price of a tutor, it is already a lot for a child’s pocket money. You must find time to go to the town to learn how to use money. Because if you don’t try to spend this kind of thing in normal times, you won’t know how to use it properly when you encounter an emergency. However, I feel that my excellent son should be able to spend money well even if he doesn’t study…ah, no matter what, you can’t use it to buy women.”
Noel narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Rudius, both revealing an inexplicable smile.
“Tsk.” Gileno looked at the expressions of the two men and knew what they were thinking without them saying anything.
Also, it turns out that Noel is this kind of person.
I was really deceived by his appearance.
Should we say that he is worthy of being Paul’s offspring?
“If you can persevere for five years, Rudeus, and properly teach the young lady how to read, write, do arithmetic, and do magic, then the contract states that the other party will pay the equivalent of three people’s tuition at the magic university as a special reward.”
Rudeus continued, “However, Sylphy may not be willing to follow you in five years. You may also change your mind because your feelings have cooled. So we will communicate with Sylphy properly.”
When seeing this paragraph, Rudius felt sick. What does it mean that you should communicate properly? But no matter what, things have already happened. His eyes moved down again and stopped at the very end. Rudius took a look at it and did not read it out this time because it was nonsense.
[I hope that in these five years, Rudeus, you can stay in a brand new environment, learn a wide variety of knowledge, and achieve a leap forward. Written by Paul, the intellectual and overly great father. ]Rudius didn’t want to say this self-boasting statement.
He put the envelope away and handed it to Gilenu, who waved his hand and said, “Just read it aloud. You can keep this letter.”
Rudeus turned his gaze towards Noel, and his eyes seemed to be asking the boy whether he wanted the letter.
Noel curled his lips and waved his hand. He didn’t want Paul’s scumbag letter.
Rudius had no choice but to put the letter in his arms. He actually didn’t really want to hold the letter.
We can see how bad Paul’s reputation is from here.
After a moment of contemplation, he turned his gaze to Noel and said, “That’s not right, brother, you seem to have nothing to do. You just learn swordsmanship from Gilenu every day.”
Noel said lazily: “You also said that I have to learn swordsmanship from Gilenu every day. How can I say that there is nothing to do? Please, I am very busy and responsible for the rise and fall of the family. If you encounter any accidents one day, I can still help you with my strong strength.”
Rudius nodded. This reason was reasonable and convincing… No way!
Rudius said loudly: “Brother, you are too mean. You have taken all the benefits. No, you have to contribute too.”
Noel fell into deep thought, and he couldn’t help but frowned when he thought of Alice’s temperament.
She is not an easy person to get along with.
But as Rudius said, he couldn’t just stay in the other person’s house and do nothing.
After thinking for a moment, Noel said, “How about this, I will teach for two years. In the first two years when I am here, I will teach Alice magic, and you will teach Alice arithmetic and other things. Is that okay?”
Rudeus wanted to bargain, saying something like “just teaching magic is not enough”, but Noel glared at him fiercely, and the idea of ​​bargaining was instantly extinguished.
Rudius thought about it, considering the pros and cons. His arithmetic skills were definitely good. After all, he traveled from the small island country of Blue Star in his previous life. In this world where there were no multiplication tables, he was definitely a genius, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.
As for magic, although I am also very good at it, it seems not as good as Noel. Noel is also good at teaching magic.
But Rudius may not know that what awaits him is a nightmare. Knowledge is something that requires the other party to be willing to learn.
Noel didn’t know whether Alice wanted to learn magic, but she definitely didn’t want to learn arithmetic.
At least I won’t study math and other things so hard.
As for magic, you can link it with novelty, so that Alice might not be too noisy. As for arithmetic and the like, aren’t you making things difficult for our future Lord Rabid Dog?
That’s why Noel pushed the most troublesome task to Rudius.
Looking at Rudius with a happy face, he thought he had taken advantage, but in fact, it was not the case. If magic and arithmetic were taught by the same person, the other party might try to be patient and listen, but if only arithmetic was taught, haha, Rudius could bear it anyway.
The carriage was moving slowly and steadily. Noel took a short rest in the middle because he was too bored.
It was already dusk when we arrived. The distance between Buena Village and the big city was so great that it would take a day to reach by horse carriage.
Converted into actual time, it is about six or seven hours. It is a bit far, but it is also close.
Chapter 44: Fortress City (Old Version)
This town is worthy of being the largest city in the vicinity and is full of vitality.
The first thing that comes into view is the city wall.
The city was surrounded by a sturdy-looking wall that was about seven to eight meters high.
There are carriages coming and going around the huge city gate on the city wall. After entering the city gate, you can see a whole row of open-air vendors.
Not far after entering the town, there are several shops similar to stables and inns.
Seeing people in armor coming and going among ordinary townspeople and merchants really gives it a “fantasy” feel.
A strong smell of a Western otherworldly world hits you in the face.
At this time, a middle-aged man who was setting up a stall saw the group of people and said enthusiastically: “Young man, would you like an apple?”
Why does this sound so familiar to Noel? He is not Natsuki Subaru who does not want to reveal his name.
At this moment, Rudius suddenly noticed that there were people carrying large luggage sitting in a place similar to a bus stop.
“Gillenu, do you know what that is?” Rudius asked curiously.
“…I’m talking to you…” Hearing Rudius’ question, Gileno showed an unhappy expression.
“Do you look down on me?”
Rudius was startled by Gilenu’s fierce glare.
He hurriedly explained: “No. I just don’t know what it is, so I want to trouble you to tell me…”
Gilenu tilted his head and said, “Oh, sorry, is that what you mean?”
Since there are too many points to complain about, Noel will not complain about them anymore.
He had already figured out Gileno’s personality. She looked scary, but was actually very kind, and even innocent in some ways.
Although the term “natural” is usually used to describe cute and silly girls, rather than to describe big guys.
But she is indeed a natural fool.
Seeing Rudius’s expression of about to cry, Gilenu quickly replied: “That is the waiting area for public carriages. Generally speaking, when moving from one town to another, you will use that kind of carriage, or pay some money to the merchants in exchange for the opportunity to hitchhike.”
Afterwards, it was clear that both of them were rookies who had just left the Novice Village. Gileno pointed at the shops one by one and told them which one was a weapon shop, which one was a tavern, which one was the branch of the Adventurer’s Guild, and which one was “that” suspicious shop.
As we passed a corner of town, the atmosphere changed.
There were weapon shops and armor shops along the roadside that catered to adventurers, but as we went further, we saw shops that seemed to cater to town residents.
Very well planned.
When enemies attack from outside, the people around the gate will be responsible for resisting first, while the residents of the town can take this opportunity to escape to the depths of the town or to the opposite direction.
Because of this structure, as you go deeper, you will find that the buildings are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more stores oriented towards high-end products.
In this town, the closer you live to the center, the richer you are.
In the middle is a huge white palace. When you see the palace, it is a strong European white palace.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent.
“That is the lord’s mansion.” Gilenu said lightly.
Noel exclaimed, “It’s more like a castle than a mansion.”
At the same time, I secretly give the middle finger to the ugly faces of capitalists.
“Because this is a fortress city.” This is how Gilenu explained.
Everyone walked into the mansion. Gilenu’s features were easy to identify. The two guards guarding the door just glanced at Gilenu and let the three in.
Led by Gilenu, they walked through the front door and headed straight to the center.
On the way, Noel saw many maids with cat ears and animal tails.
Most of these maids were pretty and cute, and were about 17 or 18 years old, in the prime of their youth.
Rudius’ eyes lit up, he smiled and said with emotion: “This lord is surprisingly understanding! Don’t you agree, brother?”
Noel looked at these cat-eared beast girls without any feeling and didn’t poke his XP.
“Hmph, nothing more than that.” Noel’s expression was indifferent. Noel, who did not poke his XP, saw through everything and knew that lust was a sword hanging over his head. No matter what he said today, he would not approve of the lord’s reckless attitude.
Rudius smiled and said faintly, “Oh, is that so? What if Master Luo Qixi decorated it like this?”
Noel fell into deep thought, subconsciously imagining what Loki looked like.
The petite Lokixi wore a maid outfit. The white stockings outlined a perfect curve of the girl’s slender calves. She made a cute pose with cat ears.
It seems that this kind of Luo Qixi is not unacceptable?
Damn, the lethality is off the charts.
He took back what he had said.
Well, he loves Bai Si, and Noel doesn’t mind if there is Roxy in a cat-ear maid costume.
“This guy is surprisingly knowledgeable.”
Noel exclaimed, looking at Rudeus.
There was a smile on the corners of both of their mouths.
The mansion was large, but it was not far from the central meeting room, so it only took a short walk to reach the destination.
But before I even entered the living room, I heard a rude voice coming from inside: “Where are you!”
Noel frowned subconsciously. He actually hated being yelled at, even if it was the other person’s habit.
Along with the rough footsteps and roars, a man who was about fifty years old but looked strong walked out of the house. He was a sturdy man with a strong build and a tall stature, estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, with some white hair mixed in with his dark brown hair.
Chapter 45: First Meeting with Alice (Old Version)
The person who came was very imposing, and there was always a sharpness in his eyes, which was the case for people who were in a superior position for many years.
Coupled with his wild appearance, most people would subconsciously avoid his gaze.
When facing such a person, Rudius would subconsciously step back, because he was afraid of strong people.
Especially a guy like this who is extremely difficult to deal with and has a bad temper.
Noel ignored Rudius, his eyes fixed on him. Rudius would be afraid, but Noel was not. Saulos Boreas Greyrat, Alice’s grandfather, the lord of Fitoya. He was a bold and unrestrained man. Alice was influenced by him and wanted to become the second Saulos. Alice’s arrogant and unreasonable character was also cultivated by this man’s doting.
Noel did not look at the other person for too long. He only looked at him for a few seconds and then looked away. He was here to be a tutor, not to cause trouble. He gave the other person a noble salute and slowly said, “Hello, my name is Noel Greylat, and I am Paul’s son.”
Rudius quickly said, “Hello, my name is Rudius Greylat, you can call me Rudius.”
Sauros nodded and said, “Go ahead. Philip has been waiting for you inside for a long time.”
After saying that, he left with a big laugh.
Walking into the living room, a thin and casual-looking man with smooth brown hair was sitting in the middle of the living room.
He was wearing a noble dress, and at first glance he looked polite.
Seeing the three people coming, he stood up and smiled warmly.
Noel stepped forward, performed a standard aristocratic etiquette, and leaned forward slightly. He said coldly: “Hello, you can just call me Noel.”
Rudius imitated Noel and bowed to Philip. He said, “It’s our first meeting. You can call me Rudius.”
The man nodded slightly, and he said, “Well, I’m Philip Boreas Greyrat.”
Phillip pointed to the sofa opposite and said to the two of them, “Sit down.”
Rudius asked nervously, “Has the interview started?”
Philip said openly: “Actually, there is no such thing as an interview. Let me ask you first, how much do you know?”
Phillip glanced at the two of them, and Rudius looked at Noel for help. Noel sighed and said helplessly: “After teaching the young lady here for five years, you can get funding for admission to the Magic University.”
“That’s all?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah……”
Phillip put his hand on his chin, lowered his eyes and looked at the table, as if thinking about something. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, “Noel, do you like girls?”
Noel said indifferently: “I am a man, I like girls, especially maids with animal ears!”
“Oh? You also like animal-eared maids?” Philip, who was originally thinking about the question, suddenly became interested and sat up abruptly.
The butler next to him coughed a few times expressionlessly, and Philip showed a happy smile. He said, “Yes, it’s our family’s seed.”
The butler coughed a few more times, and Philip said with some regret: “Forget it, as long as you don’t go too far like Paul.”
“Okay, let’s get to the point. Currently, the only teachers the child likes are Edna, who teaches etiquette, and Gileno, who teaches swordsmanship. So far, more than five people have been fired, and one of them is a man who originally taught in the capital. So, Alice’s personality is actually quite difficult to deal with.”
Philip said helplessly that it was indeed as he said, his own daughter was very difficult to deal with.
He was actually a little helpless now. Noel said expressionlessly: “No problem, I will teach Alice magic.”
Rudius asked weakly, and he was a little embarrassed to say: “Well, is she interested in arithmetic and other things?”
Philip looked at Rudius with a strange look, and he said bluntly: “I can say that except for her interest in swordsmanship, she is impatient with everything else.”
Rudius forced a smile and nodded, “Yes, is that so? That’s a bit tricky.”
Philip sighed and said, “It seems that you don’t understand the extent of the trouble. She is no longer difficult to describe. Forget it, let me be clear. I didn’t have any expectations of you at the beginning. It’s just because he is Paul’s son, so I just give it a try.”
Rudius’s expression was a little unhappy, but Philip changed the subject and said, “But I think you should give people some surprises.”
Noel leaned back on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
Hmm, a strange ceiling.
Seeing that the two had almost finished their discussion, he said, “You have to see the actual situation to judge, and you have to see it in person to know whether you can teach me or not.”
Phillip narrowed his eyes and said slowly: “In that case, then I will take you to see my daughter.”
Phillip stood up and said to the housekeeper: “Bring the young lady here.”
The old butler nodded, stood up and walked out of the house. After a while, he came back with a girl with fiery red hair. The girl was very pretty, with delicate features and excellent looks, but the first impression she gave was that she was not someone to be trifled with.
With fiery red hair and eyes and slightly raised eyebrows, you can tell her personality just by her appearance.
She is definitely one of those people who is not easy to mess with. As we all know, few people with red hair have good tempers, especially since she takes her grandfather as her role model.
Her fiery red eyes, like rubies, swept across the people present without stopping. When she saw her father Philip, her eyes lit up slightly. She said excitedly, “Father, we don’t need tutors. Gilena is enough.”
She said so and really thought so.
But everyone present was silent.
Alice showed a strange expression, but before she could speak, Philip smiled and said, “These two want to be your tutors.”
Alice’s smile disappeared and she looked impatient.
Rudeus gave a bitter smile.
Noel gave me an expression that said, “It has nothing to do with me.”
Philip looked interested.
Everyone looked at each other with different expressions.
Alice focused her attention on Noel who was sitting on the sofa and Rudius who was standing beside him.
She pointed at Noel and said, “What do you teach? You don’t look much older than me.”
Noel thought for a moment and said bluntly: “Hello, I am here to teach you magic.”
Alice fell into deep thought. She asked, “Just teaching magic?”
Noel nodded, stood up and patted Rudius next to him. He smiled and said, “This is the teacher who taught you arithmetic and literacy.”
Alice narrowed her eyes and said with some disdain, “This guy who is shorter than me is here to teach me? What a joke!”
She looked at Rudeus provocatively, then stood with her arms folded across her chest and her legs spread out, showing an attitude that clearly showed contempt.
Noel raised his eyebrows slightly. What was this? Was it a show of force? Was he trying to make Rudius give up?
Noel turned his gaze to Philip, who was acting as if it had nothing to do with him. Feeling Noel’s gaze, he smiled at him.
Chapter 46: Alice’s Clinging (Old Version)
“And you, what qualifications do you have to teach me magic?” Alice glanced at Rudius and looked at Noel, who was obviously the leader.
Noel thought for a moment, and then he said, “With my Water Saint-level magic level?”
For a moment, Philip and everyone fell into silence, especially Philip, whose hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly at this time.
He was a little surprised, and looked at the boy again. He murmured, “He has such accomplishments at this age. Paul, you really gave birth to a good son.”
In fact, when Noel said that he was at the Water Saint level, he was underestimating it. If one really counted king-level magic like the Magic Sword, then Noel could also call himself a king-level magician. Moreover, with Noel’s level, he was considered to be at the top level among the king-level magicians, not to mention the special nature of the Magic Sword.
But just saying Water Saint level is enough to calm the situation.
Although in this world swordsmen are more powerful than magicians in terms of individual combat power, the score also depends on the situation.
In terms of individual combat power, the swordsman is indeed the strongest, but in terms of threat, the magician is the first.
It takes a lot of preparation time for a powerful magician to cast high-level magic, and even the power of the magic depends on specific conditions.
But there is no doubt that once it is successfully performed, the magic’s ability to move mountains and fill the sea will be demonstrated.
Therefore, for a country, a powerful magician is equivalent to a nuclear weapon, which is mainly used to deter the opponent.
While others were surprised at Noel’s strength, Alice didn’t feel anything at all. In fact, Alice didn’t even have the most basic concept of magic.
She was only interested in swordsmanship, and the reason she was not opposed to magic was because magic could create various elements such as wind, fire, water, and earth out of thin air, like a magic trick.
Alice said indifferently: “Gilenu is still a king-level swordsman. Are you stronger than Gilene?”
Noel fell into deep thought. If an ordinary Water Saint magician faced Gileno, he would be defeated instantly. Even if Rudius grew into a King-level magician, it would be a problem.
But if I really were to face him, what are my chances of winning?
Noel didn’t know, but at this time he didn’t say anything like Gileno was not his opponent.
But the question is, how can things from two different systems be compared?
Alice is already being a bit unreasonable.
But Noel didn’t care about these. He shook his head and admitted that he was not as good as Gileno.
However, although he admitted that he was not as good as Gileno, he did not say that he would give in to Alice.
Noer Chijin looked directly at the girl, and said indifferently: “Kilenu is Gilenu, and you are you. Although I am not as good as Gilenu, I am definitely more than enough to teach you.”
There was no emotion in the boy’s eyes, and a faint sense of oppression emanated from him, which made Alice subconsciously look away, not daring to look directly into the boy’s eyes.
But Alice, who had just reacted, was a little angry and furious at her cowardice. She suddenly raised her head, which had just been lowered, and stared straight into Noel’s eyes.
The two eyes met.
Noel didn’t give in to the other party and just stared at him.
Feeling the slightly heavy atmosphere, Philip said appropriately: “Well, Noel has the strength of a water saint at such a young age, which should be more than enough to teach my daughter who is not even a lower-level magician. What about you, Rudeus? What are you good at?”
The atmosphere eased as Philip spoke. Noel stopped staring at Alice. He could see that the other party was a person with a very high self-esteem. If he embarrassed the other party like this, he would be the one who would suffer in his future tutoring life.
He is not in the habit of looking for trouble.
Rudius thought about it, and then he answered: “I am actually quite talented in arithmetic.”
Rudeus said so, but he missed the point.
Noel sighed and helped Rudius out. He said, “I’m only here to teach Alice for a short time. In fact, I can only stay here for two years. Rudius will take over for the remaining three years.”
Philip fell silent.
Noel looked at Philip and said again, “In fact, Rudius can be considered a Water Saint-level magician. Rudius’s talent and strength are beyond doubt. If it weren’t for me this time, Rudius would have been Alice’s general teacher.”
“Is that so?” Philip fell into deep thought.
Then he looked at the two of them seriously for the first time.
Judging from the situation, it seems that Noel is the one who has been leading the conversation, and Rudius always seems to be leaning behind Noel.
He began to look at Noel, and this time he really looked at him, no longer at his appearance, but at his figure.
After all, Philip was an experienced man. When he was young, he also learned sword from others, but he only had a basic understanding of it.
The aura exuded by Noel was clearly that of a man who practiced swordsmanship.
Although he did not deliberately reveal it, the faint sense of majesty and oppression was unquestionable, or it could be said that there was a sharpness in Noel, like a sharp blade that had been hidden for many years, waiting for the right opportunity to soar into the sky.
And in fact, it is true.
Philip pondered, and then he said, “In that case, let’s give it a try. What do you think, Alice?”
Alice was very dissatisfied and said, “Let these two brats teach me? Besides, it’s okay not to learn arithmetic, right?”
Rudius stepped forward and said, “Arithmetic is actually very important.”
He said so, and what awaited him was Alice’s fierce glare. Her hair stood up, and she rushed to Rudius angrily, shouting, “I said it’s not important!”
“Uh.” Rudius subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but for some reason, Noel’s words echoed in his mind, “You need to change your personality.”
He said with a stiff upper lip: “Actually, math is quite important.”
Alice walked straight up to Rudius, her face fierce, and she said, “Okay, you dare to talk back.”
After saying that, he was ready to take action and slap Rudius in the face.
Noel was watching from the side. Of course, he couldn’t just watch his brother being beaten. He grabbed Rudius by the collar and threw him back. He said with an unhappy expression: “Rudius is your teacher after all. What’s your attitude?”
Chapter 47: Alice is angry (old version)
Rudius only felt a powerful force grabbing his collar, and that force carried his body backwards. Alice’s slap hit the air in front of Rudius so narrowly.
Rudius breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say something grateful when Noel glared at him fiercely.
To be honest, Noel had no idea about how to solve the problem of the problem girl.
Now I can only respond to the other party’s request and become his tutor.
After all, Paul didn’t ask him to learn sword from Gileno for free. If Gileno agreed to Paul’s request, Paul must also agree to Gileno’s request accordingly.
Noel sighed, there was nothing he could do. To deal with the brute young lady, fighting violence with violence was undoubtedly the wrong choice, at least it was the wrong choice now. But if he was servile to the other party, apart from anything else, Noel himself would feel a little unhappy, and it would not have much meaning. With Alice’s temperament, the other party would probably take it for granted.
Alice was staring at Noel with her fiery red eyes at this moment. She asked, “Are you sure you want to intervene?”
Noel was also completely convinced by the other party. He was the sponsor. After taking a deep breath, Noel slowly said, “Alice, please don’t argue with Rudeus.”
Alice still looked angry, and if she wasn’t short, Noel had reason to believe that she would pounce on him.
Seeing her wide-eyed look, Noel reached out and touched her head.
He tried to use the kindness from his senior to make the other party surrender. Alice was slightly stunned and she looked at Noel blankly.
At this time, Noel had a warm smile (he thought so), and he said, “Alice, stop making trouble, be obedient, and study hard.”
Before Noel could finish his words, Alice’s fist had already hit Noel in the stomach.
Noel’s smile was a little stiff, but he did not dodge Alice’s attack. Alice’s fist was unexpectedly powerful, which surprised Noel. The girl’s strength was already as much as five Rudeus.
However, facing her big brother who had the strength of fifty Rudeus, her strength was still too small.
The magic power slightly wrapped around the place where Alice hit, and Alice’s punch became a complete tickle.
Alice felt as if her hand had hit a rock. She pulled her hand back abruptly and looked at her slightly red and swollen hand, her eyes misting over.
Noel sighed deliberately and reached out to touch Alice’s head again, but she dodged to the side. Unfortunately, Noel’s hand still touched the girl’s head accurately.
Feeling Alice’s soft hair, her long fiery red hair touched the boy’s fingers.
Noel spoke again: “Be obedient, Alice, I will make you stronger, really, I won’t lie to you.”
Alice slapped the boy’s hand away and said angrily, “I don’t care whether you become stronger or not! Don’t bother me!”
The corners of Noel’s mouth curved up, and Alice might not have noticed that this was a sign of her helplessness towards the young man.
But it is true that if it were a servant in the house, they might be afraid of Alice because of her status.
If it were Rudeus, he would probably treat Alice with caution because he couldn’t beat her at all. After all, if Rudeus wasn’t careful, he might be chased around the house by the other party.
But let’s change it to Noel. Do you think Noel is the kind of person who would be threatened by the other party?
And in fact it is true.
In fact, Philip did have the idea of ​​disciplining Alice.
As long as Noel and his gang don’t go too far, Philip will basically turn a blind eye.
“Alice, since I’m going to be your teacher, remember to come to me after the swordsmanship class tomorrow morning. Well, I guess it’s not realistic for you to come to me, so I’d better come to you.” Noel said.
Alice snorted coldly, ignored Noel, turned around and left, glaring at Rudius fiercely before leaving.
Rudeus: “???”
No, what are you looking at me doing?
Noel yawned, turned his gaze to Philip, shrugged and said, “You should have seen that my mission should be completed.”
“Oh? Is that so?” Philip did not comment.
He turned his gaze towards Rudius and said slowly: “Perhaps your mission is indeed completed, but Rudius’s may not be. I hope you can succeed in your mission.”
Philip waved his hand, and the butler beside him came forward. Philip said, “Butler, assign a room to each of them. Well, a superior guest room.”
The butler bowed slightly to Noel and Rudius, and said, “Everyone, please follow me.”
Noel followed the other person indifferently.
The butler led Noel and Rudius through the living room and went upstairs. Noel looked around casually, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
Should we say that they are indeed a great clan? This foundation is very profound.
In this era, this palace alone can definitely be called a palace with carved beams and painted buildings. Walking up the stairs, I came to the second floor. The bright red carpet was laid on the ground, and it was very soft to step on. The butler pointed to the door at the end of the corridor and said, “That’s your room, Noel.”
Then he turned his gaze to Rudius, pointed to the door of the second-to-last room, and said, “This is yours.”
Then he felt in his bosom, found two keys, and handed them to Noel and Rudius.
Noel nodded, glanced at the stupid Ou Doudou, and said lightly: “Well, Rudius, see you tomorrow.”
Rudius said “oh” and walked towards his room.
Although the two rooms are next to each other, there is a large distance between them.
Noel inserted the key into the door and pushed it open. A spacious house appeared in front of him.
There was a large bed of almost two meters against the wall. The floor was clean and tidy. There was an oil lamp on the wall. There was a cabinet next to the bed, which was flush with the wooden bed.
Of course, there is also a table near the corner, and the surface is clean.
In fact, it’s not just the desk, the surroundings are very clean and empty.
The room was very big. Noel’s previous house was big, but this one was at least twice as big as that one.
Noel looked around with satisfaction. The room felt pretty good to him. He could see the lawn outside through the window. All in all, Noel was quite satisfied.
Walk out the door, find the housekeeper, and tell him everything you need.
The housekeeper nodded and gave instructions to the maid standing next to him, saying “bedding, quilts, etc.”
Should we say that they are indeed a noble family? The efficiency was very fast. After a while, a cat-eared beast girl came to Noel’s bedroom carrying a quilt.
Chapter 48 Defeat the First Floor BOSS (Old Version)
Noel was now sorting through the contents of the package, taking things out one by one.
There were many small pendants, and Noel solemnly took out one of the boxes.
Of course, there was no holy relic like the one collected by Rudius. When the box was opened, a very realistic Roxy figurine was found inside.
Um.
This was done by Noel.
Place the figure in the upper right corner of the desk, and then take out two magic books. These two magic books are not very precious. They are all some low-level and popular basic knowledge of magic. Its main function is to guide newcomers.
This is the teaching material that Noel is going to use to teach Alice.
He put the two slightly heavy books aside, then rummaged through the bag for a while and found an equally heavy book. This book was no longer a magic book, but a magic research manual.
All the techniques I develop will be recorded on it.
Opening the first page, it is the formation and principle of the magic sword, with marks and different annotations in every place.
The next ten pages are all about the development and research of this technique. The second technique is naturally the magic seed.
After the Roxy incident, he once again studied and improved the magic species, successfully reducing the side effects to a minimum.
But the key issue is that you can’t avoid necessary physical contact.
Without Noel’s guidance, the process would be more than ten times more painful. In any case, success depends entirely on the other party’s willpower.
If you turn the page further, you will find Noel’s research on his own magic.
Plasticity, great power, and the ability to manifest out of thin air are probably the characteristics of Noel’s magic. Through this series of magical characteristics, he has developed a lot of useful little tricks in a targeted manner.
For example, magic power turns into silk threads and entangles the opponent.
For example, you can release magic power in a certain range and turn that area into your own domain. Within this area, you can mobilize all the magic power in the surrounding area.
In short, there are many small means of development, and they are very practical.
The sun gradually set and the sky darkened. By the time the maid had packed everything up, it was already evening.
The dim oil lamp was lit, illuminating the entire room.
It was quiet all around, with only the chirping of insects outside the window.
The bright moonlight shines in through the window, casting a hazy moonlight cast.
Noel stood outside the window, watching silently.
At this time, it is inevitable to feel a little emotional.
It’s time to write a letter to Master Luo Qixi to tell her that everything is fine and tell her the new address.
Thinking of this, Noel sat back in his seat and began to write.
After writing, he mailed the envelope and switched his perspective to his Sword Art Online self.
The world of Sword Art Online.
Today is the third day since the launch of the Death Game.
Thanks to the tacit understanding between the two of them in killing monsters, Noel and Asuna leveled up very quickly, almost leaving a large gap between the other players of the same class.
The equipment has also been updated, not only weapons, but also clothes, accessories and the like, there are several relatively rare pieces of equipment.
Today is an extremely important day.
Noel called Kiritani Kazuto and Usazawa Fukasumi over, and the four of them discussed countermeasures in a restaurant.
Noel didn’t have that much time to wait for the players to grow, and seeing that everyone’s strength was about the same, he wanted to go directly to the first floor and try to defeat the BOSS.
Noel shared his thoughts with everyone. Noel said, “Everyone has experienced the internal test, so I don’t need to explain the situation. I believe everyone knows the BOSS’s skills. Now is a critical moment. We can’t wait for other players to grow. Besides, the BOSS on the first floor is not difficult to deal with. On the contrary, it has an extremely rare equipment.”
Kiritani Kazuto nodded. He admitted this, but after looking around, he was still a little hesitant and asked, “Brother, isn’t it too hasty for you to do this?”
Noel waved his hand and said calmly, “Are you unconfident about yourself or the four of us? Don’t you know our strength?”
Not to mention the tough guy like Kiritani Kazuto who cleared the sixtieth and seventieth floors alone in the original work, and not to mention Asuna, who is known as the ghost of strategy, Usazawa Fukusumi is a very skilled player.
When the four of them are together, any one of them will be invincible in the future.
Four people together can’t defeat the first-level BOSS?
After discussing for a long time, everyone decided to go to the dungeon together.
Although a big reason for not starting the dungeon was because they were afraid of death and wanted to be more stable before dealing with the BOSS, the three of them felt that what Noel said made sense.
After finishing the meal and filling up the hunger bar, everyone set off.
Noel walked in front, chatting with Asuna in a random manner.
Most of the talking was done by Noel, with Asuna occasionally saying a few words.
Kiritani Kazuto seemed very familiar and talked to Usazawa Fukasumi.
The two of them would laugh from time to time, and there was a sense of leisure.
This is rare in the current environment. Looking around, most of the players in the starting town have bitter faces. Some of them sit lazily on the chairs and benches on the street, drinking something in their hands, as if they are drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
After all, those who can face themselves and choose to take risks are a minority.
Many times, when it comes to life, only a few people can face the difficulties and obstacles ahead.
The atmosphere around him was a little depressing. Noel frowned, but facing these players, he didn’t know what to say.
After leaving the starting town and heading south, we saw more and more players in this area.
After walking for a while, you can see some players quickly killing monsters one after another.
Noel saw them, and they naturally saw Noel and his group as well.
Seeing that the equipment they were wearing was extremely extraordinary, he looked fearful.
Noel ignored the group of players and turned back to the three people behind him and said, “Let’s go faster.”
The three of them nodded and began to quicken their pace.
We walked through the sheep farm path, through the forest with mottled shadows of trees, and went straight ahead along the valley.
Finally, it stopped at a door with a simple pattern.
The lights on the wall shone on everyone’s faces. It was a heavy metal door that was five meters high and three meters wide.
Noel changed his previous joking style and said to everyone in a deep voice: “It’s time to move forward.”
Chapter 49 Kobold Lord (Old Version)
With a slight force of both hands, Noel pushed the door open.
The iron door made a creaking sound, and a huge palace came into view.
There are dozens of pillars around, supporting the roof and the floor is made of colorful granite with stripes drawn on it whose meanings are unknown.
A large, flat room.
Noel glanced at his friends behind him and said to everyone, “Asuna, you come to assist me. Kiritani Kazuto and Usazawa Fukasumi, you guys take care of the monsters that the boss has released. After that, we will attack together.”
The three of them nodded, Noel took a step forward, took a deep breath, and began to walk towards the center of the palace.
There was a burly figure sitting above the palace. When everyone walked to the center, the burly figure began to slowly open his eyes.
This is a huge unknown beast that is three meters tall.
It was originally resting, but when it felt the breath of everyone, its sturdy body kept shaking.
It was a pair of blood-red eyes, and the crazy killing intent began to spread outward. The burly body stood up from the throne, and it jumped down from above. When it landed, the whole ground shook. It held a two-meter-long machete in its right hand and a round shield in its left hand. Its sturdy limbs began to run swiftly, with violent momentum on its body. It roared angrily, and its huge body rushed towards Noel.
LllfangTheKoboldLord
The boss’s health bar is displayed in the upper right corner of the name.
And its health bar has as many as four bars.
The ground shook, and the huge and strong body of the kobold ran away, and three soldiers wearing metal armor and holding axes and guns appeared in front of it at the same time.
Ruin Kobold Guard.
Along with the appearance of names, life values ​​​​appeared above their names again.
Noel said quickly, “Go ahead.”
Kiritani Kazuto nodded and said, “Be careful.”
When the two sides got close to each other, Kiritani and others rushed forward to fight with the kobold guards of the ruins.
Leave the central BOSS to Noel and Asuna.
Noel looked directly at the Kobold Lord, blue light flashing on his body, and he clenched the sword in his right hand. Feeling the extremely powerful oppression from the other party, Noel’s blood began to boil.
If you are killed, you will die.
If you are hit, you cannot fight.
Noel is not a statistic, so you must be cautious when dealing with the BOSS.
Noel’s cold, red-gold eyes reflected the other’s reflection. His physical strength was rapidly decreasing, and violent power began to gather in the boy’s right hand. With every breath, the force on Noel’s body became heavier. When the two were only five feet apart, Noel stepped out with his right foot and rushed towards the direction of the ogre lord.
With every step you take, the momentum is constantly gathering, and with every step you take, the tremendous force is constantly compressing.
This attack was already the strongest attack of the Sword God Style. The violent force made Noel’s right arm tremble constantly, and the sword body was flashing with a deep cold light.
When the momentum reached its peak, the original blue light on the sword was condensed into purple-black.
Noel Chijin narrowed his cold eyes slightly and swung the sword in his hand suddenly.
The huge and ferocious machete of the ogre leader was already in front of the young man. The machete attacked the boy with a whistling sound and a biting cold light flashing on the blade.
The tremendous force cut through the air, and Noel could even feel the extremely strong pressure from the other party.
The kobold leader moved very quickly, which formed a sharp contrast with its sturdy body, but if that was all, then that would be all.
Noel’s sword suddenly slashed out, the sword was unsheathed, and the sword energy was approaching!
The sword energy was like a rainbow piercing the sun, the purple-black energy wrapped around the sword body, and a dazzling black light swung out in an arc. This sword was extremely swift and also extremely violent.
The sword carried a powerful force and crushed the opponent. Before the machete reached the young man, the purple-black blade had already arrived.
The tremendous force directly knocked the machete of the kobold leader away, and a hideous gap appeared on the top of the machete. The kobold leader staggered back, but before he could make any move, the black blade continued to have force and slashed across the abdomen and torso of the kobold leader.
The sword was sharp, and the sword force was even sharper. The entire sword blade penetrated into the body of the ogre.
A huge and ferocious slash appeared in its abdomen, and the HP above the head of the kobold leader dropped rapidly, directly reducing the health bar by one and a half bars.
What was even more bizarre was that when Noel pulled out the sword, not a single drop of blood flowed from its abdomen.
While the opponent was stiff, Noel changed his sword grip from one hand to two hands. The remaining momentum gathered again. He gripped the hilt of the sword in reverse, exhaled a breath, and swung it out suddenly, launching another dark slash.
The sword pierced through the armor of the kobold leader, cut through its flesh, and blood began to flow out.
The health bar of the kobold leader successfully dropped again, leaving only two bars of health.
But this was not the end. Noel kicked out with such violent force that the opponent staggered. Noel used this kick to delay the opponent’s stiffness time. He shouted to Asuna: “Switch!”
Asuna stepped forward, the rapier in her hand turned into blue light, and she quickly filled the gap left by the boy’s breathing and shifting gears.
The sword’s power was like a continuous drizzle, the attack was continuous, the blue light flashed again and again, starting with a linear attack, the rapier quickly made up for the stiffness caused by Noel, and then quickly switched to a parallel stab, two sword lights stabbed out quickly, and when the two skills were on CD, Asuna used another set of sword skills again.
The flashing speed of the rapier suddenly increased again, and streaks of sword light turned into meteors and stabbed out.
This is also the strongest skill that Asuna currently possesses. The name is just like her sword skill, Meteor.
Although Asuna’s attack damage is not as terrible as Noel’s, she has the advantage of quantity. The combined accumulated damage successfully reduced the BOSS’s health bar by more than half.
“Noel, switch!” Asuna shouted.
At this time, Kiritani Kazuto and Usazawa Fukasumi also successfully dealt with the two monsters and rushed towards Noel.
Noel looked at his running low physical strength. Although the blue light on his body was still flashing, this state would not last long.
Noel shouted, “Let’s work together to deal with it. Don’t let it switch to its second form!”
The violent force gathered again. Using high-intensity sword skills twice in a row was already too much for Noel. He forced himself to be alert. His right arm was sore that this time Noel directly switched to holding the sword with his left hand.
His heart was beating violently at this moment, his thoughts were unusually clear, and his brain was working fast.
This is caused by the massive secretion of adrenaline.
Kazuto Kiriya quickly took over Noel’s main position. Kazuto Kiriya now has all his skill points in strength and agility, so he will not be afraid of its terrifying power.
The kobold lord struggled to get up, grabbed the machete that had fallen to the side, and rushed forward with four people again.
Kiritani Kazuto took the lead, the black iron sword in his hand flashing a deep blue light.
Usagi Fukasumi, who was standing beside Kirito, was protecting Kiritani Kazuto, swinging a purple sickle that was taller than her quickly.
Soon, with the cooperation of the two, its health value successfully reached the last bit of the second to last blood bar.
A cold murderous intent flashed in Noel’s eyes, and the sword in his hand flashed a dark color again. His already low physical strength decreased even more.
Of course, Noel’s condition is not good either. Physical strength is not simply related to physical strength, it is actually related to mental strength.
When the physical strength value is too low, it will not only squeeze the potential of the body but also the mental strength.
Noel is in very bad condition now.
Feeling a little dizzy.
However, the opponent’s last health bar must be killed instantly.
Otherwise it would be bad if it gave the other party time to prepare.
The blue glow on Noel’s body was a little dim, but the black aura was still wrapped around the sword.
“Let’s go together!” Noel shouted.
Kirito held the sword in one hand and used a diagonal slash to deflect the opponent’s attack. He suddenly thrust out the black sword in his hand, using a horizontal double-attack technique – a horizontal arc slash. A cold light flashed, and two swift slashes were made.
After the slash, just as Kazuto Kiritani was about to switch sword skills to catch up with the stiffness caused by the slash, the ogre leader roared, threw the shield in his right hand, and the shield smashed towards Kazuto Kiritani with a whistling sound of wind. Kazuto Kiritani was forced to dodge, and during this time of dodging, the BOSS began to switch states.
Its health bar has just reached the second stage at this time.
It all happened too fast. Usazawa Fukasumi wanted to take on the stiffness caused by Kiritani Kazuto’s slash, but it was too late.
The Kobold Lord held the slender and wide Nodachi behind him in his right hand, and this action startled the three people.
Kiritani Kazuto reacted quickly and said, “Back off, this guy’s information is different from the closed beta!”
But before he could finish his words, Kiritani Kazuto felt a gust of wind blowing past him.
Noel’s figure was as ethereal and invisible as a ghost, and he appeared directly behind the ogre leader, with the sword in his hand unsheathed without anyone noticing.
The three of them stared at Noel in a daze, with shock in their eyes.
Kiritani Kazuto was a little stunned and said, “I didn’t see his movements clearly at all. Did you, did you see them clearly?”
The three of them looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.
Noel sheathed his sword and slowly walked past the dog-headed man. The blue light on his body faded, and the strengthening effect disappeared. He exhaled and murmured, “It’s night.”
The ogre leader was still standing there, his right hand still tightly grasping the slender sword behind him. His blood-red eyes still carried a chilling murderous intent, but he could no longer take the next step.
The HP above the head of the Kobold Leader was completely emptied, and his chest was torn apart by a ferocious slash. Blood continued to flow down his torso and flowed on the marble on the ground.
With a last bit of unwillingness, the kobold leader fell to the ground. Just when Noel thought that the kobold lord would turn into blue light and disappear, the huge body of the BOSS turned into a black flame and burned.
Chapter 50 Special Mission (Old Version)
Noel was slightly stunned. He looked at the place where the BOSS’s ashes dissipated and fell into silence.
At the same time, system prompts flashed before Noel’s eyes.
[Powerful soul detected to be absorbed][Automatically absorbed][Lucky host, you have triggered a special mission! ][Kill fifty floor masters][Reward: Chance to awaken the Word Spirit, injection of inferior dragon blood*1][Kill sixty floor masters][Reward: 2 chances to awaken the Word Spirit, 1 injection of ordinary dragon blood][Kill seventy floor masters][Reward: Word Spirit Awakens, Injects Rare Dragon Blood*1][Kill eighty floor masters][Kill the 90th floor master][Reward: High-level Word Spirit awakening, injection of perfect dragon blood*1][Each BOSS’s soul can only be devoured once. After devouring, the opponent’s soul will be completely damaged. ][Do you choose to accept this mission? Note: Once you accept the mission, you cannot give it up. During this period, all the experience you get from killing the BOSS will be reduced by half as the price of devouring the BOSS soul. ]Noel narrowed his eyes slightly and browsed through the information one by one.
Now, without caring about his swollen head, Noel fell into deep thought as he looked at the news one after another.
Looking at the rewards listed one after another, Noel’s heart was pounding.
Dragon blood and spiritual words are linked together, and it’s hard not to think in that direction.
Is it the Dragon Clan? Many of the Dragon Clan’s words are like bugs.
If it is a word spirit, the bonus to my combat power will definitely be brought to a new level.
So the question is, after accepting this task, all the experience gained from killing the BOSS will be reduced by half, but if that’s all, it can still be barely acceptable.
Although this is still a lot of experience, it is nothing compared to the generous compensation.
After a little hesitation, he decided to accept the task.
There’s no way, the reward is too attractive.
And he also wanted to light up his golden eyes. Although his pupils were also red-gold in color now, they were still a little worse than others.
Putting all these things aside, I clicked to accept, and another system prompt appeared.
[You choose to accept this task]You have obtained the following status:
[Soul Devourer: The opponent’s soul will be devoured. 】
[Effect: Experience gained will be reduced by half]Then Noel looked at the status bar in the upper right corner, and sure enough, there was a debuff like this. The icon image was a demon with its mouth wide open.
After solving the system problems, the intense feeling of fatigue after the battle began to spread throughout Noel’s body.
He took out a bottle of potion to replenish his stamina and took a few gulps. Only then did he feel a little better.
Just as Noel breathed a sigh of relief, a hand grabbed Noel’s clothes fiercely.
Tong Gu He Ren looked at Noel unkindly and said, “When did you learn the sword skills? It’s too buggy, isn’t it? I can’t even see your movements clearly.”
Asuna also stood aside and said, “Indeed, you have too many skills. Not to mention that you can consume your stamina to improve all your attributes, just your absurdly powerful slash is outrageous enough.”
Noel smiled bitterly and did not explain further.
But he seemed to have thought of something, pointed at the fallen body of the boss, and asked curiously: “Didn’t you see it?”
Kiritani Kazuto said dissatisfiedly: “What did you see? Don’t try to change the subject.”
Noel choked before continuing, “Didn’t the boss dissipate into black fragments when he disappeared?”
Kiritani Kazuto touched Noel’s forehead and said curiously, “He doesn’t have a fever. How could the boss turn into black fragments and disappear? It turned into blue light and disappeared.”
Noel fell into deep thought.
Does this mean that players cannot see the BOSS disappear?
He sighed and clicked on the equipment to check the equipment dropped by the BOSS.
As expected, it was a black coat of top-quality properties.
[Equipment: Midnight Coat][Quality: Rare][Features: Agility (I) Increased Stamina (I)][Dragon Guardian: Cannot be damaged]Noel put it on and felt it for a while. The attribute bonus was not as much as he had imagined. Although it was not small, it could only be regarded as a small top-grade equipment.
I guess the most noteworthy attribute should be the dragon’s protection.
The black windbreaker fluttered in the air with the breeze. The quality of the clothes was very good, but I always felt that the style did not suit him.
To be honest, he doesn’t like black trench coats. He likes to wear gentleman’s suits that look very elegant.
That kind of clothing is what Noel likes best, elegant and decent.
But when he took out the clothes, his younger brother’s eyes lit up and he looked at him eagerly.
And every time Noel looked back, Kiritani Kazuto would look away.
The corner of Noel’s mouth twitched. After years of getting along with each other, how could he not understand Ou Doudou’s personality.
Thinking about his age, he is still in his middle school years, so it is normal for him to have such psychological emotions when seeing some cool equipment.
After thinking about it, he took the equipment directly out of the equipped state, opened Kirito’s chat panel, and gave him the equipment.
Kiritani Kazuto’s eyes lit up, but he was a little embarrassed to speak. He walked to Noel’s side, pulled Noel aside, and whispered, “Brother, is it really okay for me to have this equipment?”
Noel snorted disdainfully: “I don’t need to tell you what you think, right?”
Kiritani Kazuto felt a little embarrassed, but he didn’t feel ashamed as he was used to asking his elder brother for help.
Kiritani Kazuto nodded and said, “Then I’ll accept it. If you need anything in the future or need any precious materials, just let me know.”
