Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

Luo Ya nodded, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, adjusted his breathing, and then drew the sword.

Kenshin's blessing didn't require Roja to prepare too much.

The slash at nearly the speed of light passed by in an instant, the morning light sprinkled down, and the wooden sword attacked Gar's face along with the morning light.

The wooden sword pierced the air easily, like a sword that traveled through time and space, and appeared directly in front of Gar.

No one saw how the young man made his move.

It was clearly a powerful blow, but there was no sound at all.

Gar raised his sword and blocked the long sword that was about to hit him in the face. Gar said to Luo Ya: "Not bad, you can cross that threshold with more practice."

Luo Ya nodded. This was normal. Crossing that threshold did not mean that he had become a sword god. It just meant that he could swing a true sword of light.

For other people, this hurdle may take a lifetime, but for Luo Ya, it is really not that difficult.

With a lot of talent, Roja's progress is like riding a rocket.

After Gar taught Roya a few more moves, he suddenly said, "In short, it is not difficult for you to surpass me in strength. I think in a year or two, you will be able to take the position of Sword God."

Gal said this with a sentimental smile on his bearded face. He was not surprised that a talented person could inherit his position.

He is not a person who cannot afford to lose, otherwise he would not have been defeated by the Dragon God and then made great progress to become the Sword God.

Of course, the so-called "can't afford to lose" refers to being defeated by someone he recognizes. He is also a very proud person. If he is defeated by someone he looks down upon, his state of mind will become like Rudeus', falling into self-doubt and suspicion.

(In the original novel, he was defeated by Chino Breeze, the person he despised the most, and never recovered from the setback.)

————————The following is the experience of the Sword God in the original world——————————

Chino Brize, strange to say, is probably a guy that surprises everyone.

His strength is not that strong, and he has never shown any big ambitions. He wants very few things and has no pursuit of power.

Although Gal didn't say anything about this young man, he did look down on him.

Without the pride of youth, his strength is just mediocre and he is just an average person.

Chino is very talented, he is a genius.

But geniuses are geniuses, are there not enough geniuses in this world?

Genius is not rare, but hard-working genius is truly rare and precious.

Unfortunately, Gal didn't see any hard-working attitude from him.

Then, one day, this guy who looked so insignificant in Gal actually came to propose marriage.

When he said he wanted to marry his daughter, Gal burst out laughing on the spot.

How could my precious daughter marry such a guy?

This is both a blow and an attempt to get the guy in front of him to work harder.

He thought that if he gave Chino some obstacles, he would be more motivated.

After all, no matter how much you look down on them, they are still the younger generation and you should still give them the kindness from your elders.

So he made a request that the other party could hardly fulfill.

"If you want to get married, then come and try to defeat me. Then I'll give you permission."

That's what Gal said.

This is almost an impossible task, and any normal person knows that it is almost impossible to accomplish.

But since then, Chino has changed dramatically.

Then the fateful day arrived.

He was defeated by the brat in front of him.

It was very puzzling. A sword king broke through some kind of restriction, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and then he went straight to him to challenge him.

He delivered a slash of comparable strength, and then, relying on a tiny detail, gained an almost negligible amount of time.

However, it was this short period of time that made Gal unable to swing his sword any more.

He only swung the sword once and could not swing the second time.

That day, Chino got everything he wanted.

There is one more sad person in this world.

Then, Gal's psychological course changed dramatically.

He began to question the sword in his hand, and his former confidence disappeared.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 259 Conflict

Funny enough, he worked hard to become the Sword God after being defeated by the Dragon God when he was young.

But after being defeated by his apprentice, he lost his confidence and failed to get back on his feet.

So when the Sword God fought with Alice, he did not use his proud Sword God Style, but was defeated by Alice and Ruijerd with the Water God Style. Perhaps his self as the Sword God had died when he was defeated by Chino.

But none of it has anything to do with Roya.

At least, the Sword God was now in a good mood and was teaching Roya very seriously.

"The Sword God School pursues a one-hit kill, but there are always times when there are enemies that cannot be eliminated with one strike." The old Sword God said slowly.

Luo Ya listened quietly as the old sword god continued to explain.

Gar's face was serious, and he continued, "At this time, putting away the sword is the key, especially for the fight between the strong men of the Sword God School."

At this point, a smile appeared on Gar's face. Gar patted Roya on the shoulder and said, "Of course, it's been a long time since I met someone who could force me to use the second sword."

Luo Ya shrugged and ignored the old sword god's bragging.

Gar sighed with emotion, as if recalling the past years.

This is what happens when people get old, they always like to reminisce about the past.

Gal didn't spend long reminiscing, he knew now was not the time to brag that he had plenty of time in the future and there was no need to rush.

Gar stroked his gray stubble and continued, "In short, if you want to beat me, you must master the skill of sheathing the sword. Otherwise, you can only beat me in terms of speed."

When he said this, a confident smile appeared on Gar's face, as if he was sure that Roya could not surpass him in speed.

Luo Ya didn't care and gave the old guy some face.

The training lasted until noon, when Gal waved his hand and told Roya to get out.

Before leaving, Gal said to Luo Ya, "I will teach you in the mornings from now on, and you can practice on your own the rest of the time. You should have your own training plan. I will compete with you once a week to see your progress. Anyway, that's it. I'm busy. I'm leaving."

Then Gal swaggered out of the dojo, stood on the stage and waved to the students below. Then everyone sat down on the ground, not caring whether sitting like this would dirty their clothes.

"Really, I don't know why, but the amount of training seems to have increased."

"You just felt it? My hands are numb."

"I probably added ten more sets of slashing. Sigh, these days are getting harder and harder."

These are ordinary students. It is indeed very difficult for these ordinary people. A small number of them are of noble birth and have been living a life of luxury since childhood. The reason they come to the Holy Land of Sword to study is mainly because they are sent by their families to study, which is similar to gilding. After they finish their studies and return to their families, the family members will arbitrarily assign them an official position such as a guard.

Of course, this group of people accounts for a very small proportion, and a large part of them are actually the unpopular younger generations in the family, or the impoverished nobles.

The young nobles who were truly important did not learn the Sword God Style, but the Water God Style.

The other members are more complicated. There are servants, orphans, refugees, in short, they have all kinds of backgrounds. Some of these people were rescued by Gar, and some came here on their own. Maybe they have good roots and some talent in swordsmanship, so when they are in a good mood, Gar will take them in.

Although they have to accept the students, they also have to do some labor on a regular basis. After all, it is impossible to let these students eat and drink for free here. Of course, this labor is nothing compared to what they have learned.

Anyone who can become an apprentice here and successfully graduate can at least become a mid-level swordsman.

Even though an intermediate swordsman is not even at the advanced level, in fact, if one can reach the intermediate swordsman level when he is young, and then work hard, gain experience as he gets older, and strengthen his body, by middle age, he will be able to become an advanced swordsman more than enough.

A swordsman who can reach the level of a high-level swordsman can easily serve as an official of some importance in that kingdom.

This is a good way out for an ordinary person.

This is true for most people, but there are a few who are not.

For example, Nina.

As the daughter of the Sword God, she was destined to be out of tune with everyone from the very beginning.

Her talent is not that great. She has it, but that's just it. She herself can't say how far she can go.

However, because of the blessing of her identity halo, she has been practicing hard since she was young. The Holy Land of Sword is also half of her home, and she is nominally the big sister here.

And now, the big sister is in a very bad mood.

The reason was simple. During the training, Nina found Alice and wanted to get some information about Roya from her.

This is normal behavior for a little girl. The sudden appearance of a senior brother, who is also a sunny and handsome guy, will make the girl feel curious and excited.

Luo Ya's face could totally be considered a foul. He was the prince charming in many girls' dreams. She could be sure that there was no one in the world with a better appearance than him.

This is the case with adolescent girls. Not only boys’ world views are influenced by their appearance, but girls too.

With an emotion she didn't know what it was, Nina found Alice, coughed a few times, and prepared to get along well with her before getting the information out of her mouth.

"Hello, my name is Nina, what's your name?"

Nina, along with a few followers, stood in front of Alice with a menacing look.

Nina folded her arms with a proud look on her face, as if asking the other person's name was giving him enough face.

Rudeus was not beside Alice at this time. In the distance, Rudeus had become friends with a group of boys. Several of them were whispering to each other, and then the corners of their mouths curled up with an indescribable smile on their faces.

Different from Rudeus who was not doing his job properly, Alice was much more honest. She swung the wooden sword in her hand methodically. Alice was very strong and every time she swung, one could hear the sound of the sword splitting the air.

Alice ignored Nina's question and continued to swing her sword without even raising her eyelids.

Nina was slightly stunned, and her face gradually became unhappy.

Alice is the daughter of the Greyrat family, and Nina is also the daughter of the Holy Land of Swords.

Even though no one would mention that her father was the Sword God, everyone would give her some face. The adults would turn a blind eye to what she did, and would side with Nina even if she made mistakes. This helped foster Nina's arrogant character.

However, I, who had always been omnipotent, was humiliated by a little guy today.

Nina's face quickly turned gloomy.

Nina is not a bad person, but girls of this age are the best at being jealous of others.

Looking at the girl with fiery red hair in front of her, Nina found that her facial features were quite pretty, and there was a heroic aura about her that made the girl different from other rich girls.

Nina said coldly: "You guy, when someone asked you a question, did you not open your mouth?"

Logically, in someone else's territory, most people might have some concerns. For example, if Rudeus faced such a situation, he would definitely give a few compliments and say some flattering words, and then try to bring the two closer together. This cannot be said to be wrong. On the contrary, most people would choose this way. After all, it is better to have less things than more things, and it is better to have one more friend than one less enemy.

However, this is certainly not the case with Alice.

Alice swung her wooden sword heavily, and this time she finally looked up at Nina.

Alice's face showed annoyance without disguising it, and the girl's fiery red eyes were as fiery as her long red hair.

"Did no one tell you that you have to say please when asking for someone's name? And didn't I tell you that before?"

Alice's impatient tone made Nina take a step back. For the first time, Nina felt at a loss.

What's wrong with this guy? Nina thought to herself.

Looking at this guy who was one or two years younger than her, all kinds of emotions came to her mind at once, and Nina herself couldn't tell what state she was in.

Angry, annoyed, and a little panic.

She didn't know why she was panicking. Perhaps it was because her position was challenged, and Nina felt that her always unbreakable position had loosened.

She felt that she should teach the brat a lesson, let her know what it means to respect seniors, and that she needs status to stay in this place. As a newcomer, she should answer whatever she asks, instead of talking to her in this tone.

Chino stood by and wanted to dissuade Nina, but having been with Nina for many years, he knew the girl's nature. Dissuasion at this time would only have the opposite effect. With a sigh, Chino gave up the idea of ​​dissuading her.

Although doing so would be very unfair to the newcomer in front of me.

Then, Nina stepped forward, grabbed the girl by the collar, and wanted to say something harsh to teach her a lesson.

Nina just wanted to say a few harsh words and had no intention of taking any action.

He grabbed her by the collar just because it would make him look very domineering and would overwhelm this arrogant newcomer and let her know whose territory this was.
