Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

Luo Ya's mouth twitched. Looking at the other party's expressionless face, he didn't feel the slightest apology.

Rudeus and Alice ran up from a distance. Rudeus said to Roya with admiration: "Brother, your strength has improved again."

Roya glanced at Rudeus and said in a deep voice: "Let's practice later, and let me see your strength."

Rudeus's smiling expression collapsed in an instant. He lowered his head and responded listlessly.

Alice walked up to Gilenu curiously and asked, "How strong is Roya? Can I catch up with him?"

Gilenu thought about it, looked at Alice's expectant eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's difficult."

With just two simple words, Alice's pupils began to dilate, and her expectant expression dimmed.

At this point, there are two more silent people in the world.

Chapter 64: Rudeus's Path

Roja dispersed the magic power in his body, and the magic power in his body receded like the tide, and he once again turned into the elegant, easy-going, and graceful young man. However, the three of them had seen each other take action, and this slender boy formed a sharp contrast with the scene just now. Not to mention Rudeus, Alice was stunned anyway.

Gilenu came over and asked curiously, "What kind of secret technique is that that can increase your strength so much in an instant."

Luo Ya thought about it and said bluntly, "In fact, when a swordsman uses sword skills, magic power is also in operation. However, the difference is that the two powers are used in different ways. I believe Master Gilenu already knows what that is."

"Fighting spirit? Well, the master talked about this thing." Gileno fell into deep thought.

Luo Ya continued, "The magic power I control can be used for my own benefit just like fighting spirit. In a short period of time, I can strengthen my body and reach a whole new level. Of course, this strengthening is limited. Only when my physical fitness is constantly improved can I accommodate more magic power."

Gilenu nodded in understanding.

In fact, only Roja's own magic power is special that he dares to do this. For ordinary magicians, it is very difficult to control the magic power to cast magic, let alone use it to strengthen themselves. If you are not careful, the magic power will go out of control and you will die instantly.

Fighting spirit = magic power, there is indeed nothing wrong with saying this.

But the methods of using the two are very different.

Anyway, Roja's magic power can basically meet all needs, so he doesn't care much about how to entangle the fighting spirit.

Roya smiled at Rudeus and said jokingly, "Well, Rudeus, come on, let me see how you've grown."

Rudeus showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "Can we not duel?"

Luo Ya didn't say anything, just stared at the other person.

Sighing, Rudeus grasped the wooden sword resignedly and walked towards Roya.

Needless to say, how it ended.

Although Rudeus had some basic skills, he lacked his own attack characteristics and his bones were not yet fully developed. Anyway, his strength was there. Roja tried to feed Rudeus sword moves at first, but thought it was unnecessary. With Gilenu, the Sword King, around, he was just worrying for nothing.

He knocked Rudeus's wooden sword away with a few strikes, gave him a painless blow on the forehead, and said expressionlessly, "Too weak."

Rudeus had a depressed look on his face, covering his forehead and crouching down to defend himself.

Luo Ya sighed, looked at Alice who was a little expectant, and asked curiously: "Do you want to come too?"

Alice nodded expectantly. She would only know how big the difference was after trying it.

One minute later.

There was another person squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.

Gilenu watched from the side, pondered for a moment, and said to Luo Ya: "Your basic skills are very solid. To be honest, what you lack now is actual combat, rather than following me and learning sword by the rules."

Luo Ya nodded. He was now at the peak level of an advanced swordsman. If he could break through again, he would reach the level of a swordsman. The gap between a swordsman and a sword king was not that big. Those who could become swordsmen basically became sword kings later.

But those who can become Sword Kings very few can become Sword Emperors, let alone reach the level of Sword Gods.

After taking a short rest, Roya watched Gileno feed his moves to Alice.

It has to be said that although Gileno is taciturn and doesn't like to talk, she is indeed good at teaching and can always briefly point out Alice's shortcomings.

From his pace, movements, to his breathing rate, can we say that the Sword King is worthy of being the Sword King?

Perhaps a large part of Alice's ability to grow so quickly is due to Gileno's teaching.

After teaching Alice, Gilena turned her gaze towards Rudeus, with a rare look of interest on her face.

Gilenu said: "You have a good talent in swordsmanship. It can be seen that you still have some basics. But how should I put it? I always feel that you are still lacking something. Well, specifically, it should be momentum."

Rudeus scratched his head and looked at Gileno with confusion.

"What is momentum?"

Jilenu thought for a moment, pointed at Roya, then pointed at herself, and said, "Find your own sword path. In other words, find what you want to protect."

Rudeus thought about it for a moment. Isn't this what Paul meant when he said that every man should have a sword in his heart to protect what he wants to protect?

But, can I really do it?

In front of him are Paul and Roya, both of whom are very powerful. Although Paul is unreliable, Rudeus believes that he will definitely stand up to protect his family at the critical moment.

As for Roja, to be honest, with his strength, Rudeus couldn't think of any trouble that could stump him.

It seems that all I need to do is lie down all the time.

As if sensing Rudeus's thoughts, Gileno shook his head and said to Rudeus in a tone of an experienced person: "Many times, you can only rely on yourself. I heard from Roya that you are also a Water Saint-level magician. Well, to be able to achieve such an achievement, it is not an exaggeration to describe your talent as one in a million."

Hearing Gileno's praise, Rudeus scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly: "It's not that bad, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

"However." Gilenu changed his words and stared at Rudeus, making him feel a little weak. Gilenu spoke again: "You are your greatest support. You can't always hide behind your father and your brother. One day you have to stand up and protect your family, right?"

Rudeus was speechless, his originally shy expression faded. He thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, but he didn't know how to do it.

He has been following him since he came into this world.

The child, who was only two years older than him, seemed to know everything.

In magic, he is better than himself, in swordsmanship, he is better than himself, and in dealing with people, he is better than himself.

It seemed as if I was always looking up at the other person's back and walking forward on his shadow.

He learned magic only because of the novels he had read in his previous life. He fantasized that maybe he could become a brave man like in the anime and novels, embark on an adventure to defeat the devil, meet and make friends during the adventure, and their affection for each other grows in dangerous battles. Finally, he would be able to win the heart of the beauty after defeating the devil.

Even the process of defeating the devil can be omitted. He just wants to marry the beauty, to have someone who loves him and someone he loves.

The author is on vacation. He will take a bus on the 13th and return to his hometown on the 14th.

Chapter 65: Roja's Strength

He didn't have a dream of saving the world, he just thought about himself, but a lot of the time, Rudeus was also confused. To be precise, he didn't have a goal.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, or even, to some extent, not even an ordinary person.

He is a cowardly man. He is not great. He has neither the courage nor the responsibility to bear the heavy responsibility.

This was the case in the previous life.

Thinking back to his previous life, the image of the otaku playing on the computer with his head down seemed to appear before his eyes again.

He tried to dispel the remaining fantasies in his mind, but now he would feel at a loss when someone told him what to do.

Rudeus smiled bitterly and said, "Master Gilenu, it's not that easy."

Jilenu nodded and said calmly: "It's actually irrelevant to talk about these now. Come on, let me see your strength."

Needless to say, Rudeus' swordsmanship was at a level that even an intermediate swordsman had not yet reached, and he was knocked down in just a few moves.

Roya, who was standing next to him, was amazed. He joked, "Rudeus, I'm afraid you will always be outshined by Alice."

Rudeus, lying on his back on the ground, had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.

Sparring is only a part of sword practice, and more often you still need to hone your basic skills.

In this respect, there is actually no difference from what Paul taught.

This is how sword practice works. There are only a few basic moves, mostly straight stabbing, diagonal slashing, vertical chopping, and roundabout sweeping.

Alice and Rudeus were constantly honing their basic skills, swinging their swords according to Gileno's requirements. Gileno was constantly correcting their postures. Swinging the sword was undoubtedly extremely boring, and the main purpose was to train their familiarity with and use of the sword, to develop the so-called muscle memory.

By the time he finished teaching them, half an hour had passed. Gileno let Rudeus and Alice practice on their own and called Roya to him. Looking at this elegant young man in front of him, Gileno felt a little headache. After pondering for a moment, he said to Roya, "Come on, attack me. Remember, you can only use swordsmanship."

Luo Ya responded calmly and started fighting with the opponent.

Luo Ya was only good at the Sword God Style. He had basically never learned anything like the Water God Style or the North God Style.

Therefore, Luo Ya's attack must be vigorous and powerful.

Without building up strength or drawing his sword, Roya swung the sword in his right hand and slashed directly at Gileno.

The action was very standard. Roya swung his sword towards Gileno, who blocked it with his sword horizontally. Roya stepped back with his right foot, changed direction and attacked Gileno again, slashing the wooden sword in his hand from bottom to top. Gileno turned around and easily resolved the boy's attack again.

"Is that all? Luoya?" Gileno's cold voice came again.

Luo Ya attacked calmly, constantly changing the three most basic sword moves: horizontal slash, diagonal thrust, and stabbing.

Gileno took turns to block and dissolve these three sword moves with ease.

But Gilena's brows were slightly frowned, and she felt a little confused in her heart.

If the opponent's strength is just this, then he will never be able to wield such a stunning sword.

It's not that Roya's movements were not standard, nor that his swordsmanship was bad, it's just that Roya's movements were too mediocre, too mediocre.

Is it easy for someone to swing that sword at this age?

So, what does the other party want to do? Is he trying to hide his weakness?

Subconsciously, Gileno slightly increased his strength and stopped blocking blindly. Every time he blocked Roya's sword, he would actively thrust a sword towards Roya. This was also a disguised way of forcing Roya to use his full strength.

Gileno wanted to see what Roya was up to.

But the more they fought, the more Gilenu realized something was wrong.

The opponent still used the same few moves, but Gilenu clearly felt that she needed to put more effort to block the rapier, which she could have easily blocked before.

The more they fought, the stronger the sense of disharmony lingered in Gileno's heart.

Is the other party getting used to the way I use the sword?

After realizing this, Gileno stopped defending and thrust out with his sword. Although Gileno was big and strong and wielded a huge sword, who would have thought that even such a Gileno had such a profound understanding of stabbing swords.

She did not use her full strength, and still only suppressed her to the same level of physical fitness as Luo Ya.

But even with such a Gileno, the pressure he brought to Roya doubled in an instant.

Although this stab was not as fast as lightning, it was extremely skillful, and it stabbed towards Luo Ya at an extremely cruel and tricky angle.

Luo Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, and his intuition became clearer and clearer. In Luo Ya's eyes, the Gilenu in front of him turned into three figures, stabbing towards Luo Ya from three directions.

Every move, every detail, and breathing frequency of Gileno were seen by Roya at this moment.

The three figures represent the three possible outcomes of Gileno's attack, and also represent how she will attack.

Gilenu's rapier is good, even perfect.

However, this was not enough. Roya's body slightly turned to the right and slashed towards Gileno with the wooden sword in his hand.

Gilenu sneered. In her opinion, the boy's actions were undoubtedly a way to seek death.

If the Sword King's rapier was so easy to block, then she wouldn't have to be called the Sword King.

But under her astonished gaze, her sword was just enough distance for Roya to swing his sword because of the sideways distance. Roya retreated slightly and slashed down quickly, actually blocking Gileno's rapier directly.

Roya's lips curled into a smile.

The pair of beautiful eyes met Gileno's animal pupils. The red-gold eyes flashed with a deep cold light, and the face that was more handsome than a woman had a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

Is he laughing at me?

Jillenu's beast eyes narrowed. Logically, she should be angry at this time and tear to pieces the ignorant kid in front of her. However, her strong intuition kept telling her that something bad was about to happen, but Jillenu didn't know where the problem was.

Unable to find the key to the problem, Gileno stopped thinking about it. His muscles bulged and he thrust out the wooden sword again, even faster.

Gileno's aura changed from its previous dullness, and the sword in his hand was no longer just used to block. His aura became extremely violent, and he swung the sword down.

No matter what plots and schemes you come up with, I can break them all by myself!

This is Gileno's swordsmanship.

Roya still just retreated slightly, raised his sword to block, and the swords collided with each other. Roya took advantage of the momentum to drive Gileno's wooden sword to draw a semicircle, and with the rhythm of using a little force to move a great force, most of the original powerful force was released.
