Chapter 481: Water Saint-Level Magic, Making You Love Magic, On Promotion

After spending a night in the Great Forest, Broly bid farewell to Orsted with Roxy the next day, crossed the Lingus Sea once more, flew over the plains of the Strife Zone, and entered the Asura Kingdom from the edge of the Milbotts Territory.

Broly handled the trivial matters left by the previous cycle here while searching for the other two capture targets mentioned by the Human God.

However, even after arriving at the royal domain of the Asura Kingdom, he still hadn't found the so-called targets, making Broly doubt whether that Human God fellow was messing with him again.

"Broly, look, we're almost at Ars."

On the luxury carriage, Roxy held the boy's shoulder with one hand and pointed at the high walls in the distance with the other, excitement on her face.

Traveling was indeed much more interesting than simply doing magic research at the academy; along the way they had seen many beautiful landscapes.

Endless golden wheat fields after the autumn harvest, orchards everywhere laden with full fruits, farmers busy harvesting, tired yet happy, peddlers carrying goods, traveling between villages and cities, driving markets big and small.

Broly didn't complain about such a leisurely journey, only deepening his impression of the Human God's liar label.

After entering Ars, Broly went to the city's best inn to book a private room as if he had done it countless times, then took Roxy to the Shen Shen Liu Dang.

"Rida Lilia is the teacher who taught me Shen Shen Liu swordsmanship; she's very powerful."

The boy said this to the demon girl, then took a practice wooden sword from the Shen Shen Liu Dang and defeated the Water God opposite him with Shen Shen Liu swordsmanship.

Roxy was speechless; things like calling someone powerful over and over, only to defeat them with one sword, she had already experienced several times.

Of course, truly witnessing a god-level expert's defeat—this was... uh, the second time; the previous time was the Dragon God from the last cycle.

"Am I powerful?"

Broly waved the wooden sword in his hand, turned back, and asked the demon girl, as if wanting Roxy's praise.

"You are powerful, but your Water God teacher seems to have suffered a great blow; is she alright?"

Roxy said with some worry, looking at Rida Lilia lying on the dojo floor in a dejected posture, as if severely injured.

"I was defeated in three moves by a child?!"

This cycle's Water God indeed suffered a heavy blow, not physical injury, but a mental one.

This feeling was like a mathematician studying difficult world math problems, one day being challenged by a sudden elementary school student, who crushed him in his own field of study, plunging him into extreme self-doubt.

"It's fine, I'll comfort her now."

Broly stepped forward, crouched down, and patted Rida Lilia's shoulder, rewound time, and told her that he was actually her prized disciple.

"Teacher Rida, don't be discouraged; you weren't defeated by me, you were defeated by your future self."

"My Shen Shen Liu swordsmanship grew to this level entirely thanks to your careful guidance from another cycle!"

"Ah, is that true?"

"Do you need me to tell you some embarrassing secrets only you know?"

"Uh, let's forget that."

Water God Rida's acceptance level was very high; or rather, as long as Broly used someone else's signature move to defeat this world's experts head-on, their acceptance level was high, because those people felt the powerful boy had no need to deceive himself.

Therefore, even though something like time rewinding was a bit far-fetched, most people would choose to believe Broly's words; it's just that these people didn't have the Crystal Palace, so even if they were willing to believe Broly, they couldn't recover memories from other cycles.

So, each time they could only be considered somewhat familiar strangers; cognitive relationships, emotional bonds, and such—if wanted, basically had to be rebuilt.

"So Broly, do you rebuild cognitive relationships and emotional bonds with people you knew in other cycles every time?"

Roxy asked curiously.

"Not exactly; only when I meet them. Of course, except for those who ask me for help; Teacher Rida counts as one."

Water God Rida treated Broly to a good meal; as they exchanged Shen Shen Liu techniques, she believed Broly's words more and more.

Until after the meal, Rida Lilia made a request: "Broly, I will continue studying Shen Shen Liu swordsmanship; I want to ask you to bring my skills to my self in the next cycle before time rewinds. Can you?"

Broly glanced at Roxy, as if telling the girl 【that's the situation】, then nodded and agreed to her request.

"But you're late this cycle, aren't you?"

Roxy asked on the way back to the inn.

"It is a bit late, but I'll still do it; I didn't forget last cycle either."

Broly felt a bit guilty; when he came to do this last cycle, it was indeed quite late.

However, this couldn't be blamed on him; who told him to suddenly encounter Roxy?

His attention was completely attracted by the girl; subconsciously neglecting some things was normal.

"Since you promised someone, you should be more responsible."

Roxy's cheeks were slightly red; the boy's words were like telling her she was more important than many other things.

"I know; next cycle I'll come directly here to settle Teacher Rida's matter, then go find you after finishing what needs to be done."

At night, while sleeping with Roxy, the Human God came again after one and a half months.

And this time, He boldly entered Broly's dream directly.

"You, this guy, do have courage!"

"Well, I saw you came to the Asura Kingdom side."

"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten?"

"After you met the Dragon God, you still came to the Asura Kingdom side to search; I believe you've accepted my offer, and I believe you won't easily attack me."

The white figure raised both hands, as if giving Broly full trust.

"You're right; I won't easily attack you, but that's after you've already helped me find the person I want to find."

Broly clenched his small fist.

Human God: "…"

Unsurprisingly, he got beaten again.

"I just didn't want to disturb your honeymoon trip with Roxy Migurdia, right?"

"Ow, stop hitting me, I'll tell you where those two people you want to find are!"

The Human God begged for mercy; Broly didn't go too far, but after hearing that one of the capture targets was the daughter of the Fittoa Region's lord family, the Boreas Greyrat Family, he only then hammered the Human God's head two more times.

"No, I already told you, why are you still hitting me?"

"Because you misled me in other timelines, deliberately keeping me from meeting the person I wanted to find!"

Broly said righteously.

Human God: "……"

Damn, he's pinning the blame on his other timeline self again.

"By the way, you, aren't you calling her Princess Ariel this time?"

"Eh, what does that have to do with her?"

"In the timeline where you deceived me, I was often guided by you to meet that little princess of the Asura Kingdom; isn't she your retinue?"

Broly glanced sideways at the Human God.

"Retinue? No, she isn't."

The Human God hurriedly shook his head, seeing the boy's doubtful gaze, thought for a moment, and began to analyze this matter.

"Broly, I guided you to meet her probably wanting to use her role in future history, causing the Dragon God to misunderstand, leading you to conflict."

"Huh? What future historical role could that little princess have?"

"She has the possibility of becoming the Asura King, and her way of governing will make the Asura Kingdom prosperous, thereby influencing a battle in the more distant future."

"What battle?"

"That's no longer important; in a world where you exist, battles are meaningless things. As long as you are willing, any battle, no matter what stage it has progressed to, will directly stop. Similarly, as long as you want, you can also start any battle."

From the perspective of the Human God in this timeline, Princess Ariel was just a useless guy.

If it weren't for Broly asking about her on his own initiative, the Human God would never have mentioned her at all.

"What a heartless guy, bringing her up when she's useful and discarding her when she's not."

Broly sarcastically said a sentence to the Human God, but his impression of Princess Ariel, whom he had gone to save in multiple previous timelines, improved.

After dealing with the upper-class noble Darius and also wiping out some of the First Prince's people, Broly took Roxy and left the Asura King's territory, heading to the more northern Fittoa Region.

"Hey, Broly……"

"What's wrong?"

"If you find a new capture target, you won't neglect me, right?"

In an inn in Roa City, knowing the boy was about to go meet a new capture target, Roxy couldn't help but worryingly ask.

Although she didn't think the boy was a fickle person, this feeling of about to share her boy with someone else really made Roxy feel an indescribable sense of worry.

"How could I possibly neglect you? You are the best and greatest wife in this world. Whether or not I find a new capture target in this world, this will not change. Even, if you don't want me to find a new capture target, we can go back to Lanoa right now."

"Sorry, things have come to this, and I'm still like this……"

The boy's words made Roxy feel reassured, but also made her feel embarrassed about her inconsistent attitude.

"Let's go back, we won't look anymore."

Broly said seriously.

At this moment, the one who was most nervous was no one else, but precisely the Human God paying attention to the progress of this side. He saw his own future; Broly's figure was flickering.

The Saiyan boy seemed like he might return at any time and directly take action to deal with his opposing side.

"What are you saying? We've already come here, there's only the meeting left. Can't we go take a look?"

"Rest assured, I just wasn't mentally prepared earlier, but now I am ready."

"No matter who the new capture target is, I believe I will like you more than them, and will make you like me more."

"If I can't do it, it can only prove that my ability as your wife, Roxy Migurdia, is insufficient, and my attraction to you is not enough."

Roxy pulled Broly's hand and went to visit the mayor of Roa City, the actual ruler of the Fittoa Region—the Boreas Greyrat Family.

Coincidentally, the Boreas Greyrat Family was recently recruiting excellent magic teachers from outside, so Roxy came knocking on the door under the pretense of applying for the job.

"Uh, you two are here to apply for magic teacher?"

Alphonse looked at the big girl and small boy before him with a rather subtle gaze.

Generally speaking, for a profession like mage, the older the better.

Because knowledge always needs time to accumulate, older mages often represent more knowledge and experience than younger mages. Although not absolute, it conforms to the impression of the vast majority of people.

"I am Roxy Migurdia. Don't look at my small appearance; I am actually over thirty years old. I once studied at Ranoa Magic University and am a genuine Water Saint-Class Magician."

"This is Broly. He also studied at Ranoa Magic University. Like me, he is also a Water Saint-Class Magician, just specializing in different directions."

Roxy introduced herself and Broly like this.

"I'm not saying I don't believe the two of you. It's just that appearances are easily deceptive. If you two want to apply for the position of magic teacher for the Boreas Family, you still need to demonstrate your abilities."

"No problem."

Roxy had no objection. With Crystal Love, even without the wand from the previous timeline, she was confident she could cast Water Saint-Class magic.

However, Alphonse couldn't make the decision to hire a Saint-Class Magician. He said he needed to notify the true master of the Boreas Family to come for the review.

The current Lord Heir of the Fittoa Region, Philip Boreas, and his wife Hilda Boreas, a handsome man and beautiful young couple, soon came over here.

Coming along with them was also a burly middle-aged man, and that person was precisely the true lord of the current Fittoa Region—Sauros Boreas.

"You two little brats are here to apply to be my granddaughter's magic teacher?"

As soon as he saw Roxy and Broly, he started shouting in dissatisfaction with a somewhat rough voice.

His voice was extremely loud and resonant, shaking Roxy so much she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her ears.

"A mage's ability is judged by capability, not appearance."

"Huh?"

Sauros narrowed his eyes at the demon race girl who dared to refute his words, but he wasn't angry.

"Well said. You, this guy, suit my temper. I hope you are a capable person, not an empty shelf."

Under Sauros's scrutiny, Roxy came to the castle's courtyard and began to demonstrate the power of a Water Saint-Class Magician. She circulated her magic power, chanted the incantation, and used Thunderous Rain Clouds.

The sky darkened, causing the red-haired little girl who had run over to prepare to find her grandfather and act spoiled, saying she didn't want to learn that useless magic, to also stand stunned on the corridor.

"How about it, is this enough to prove my Water Saint-rank strength?"

Although due to venue constraints, the full might of the Thunderstorm Cloud could not be unleashed, the spectacle Roxy created was still enough to prove her magical attainment.

"This kind of ability to manipulate celestial phenomena on such a large scale is undoubtedly that of a Saint-ranked Magician."

Sauros nodded, acknowledging the demon girl's capability.

"Then it's my turn."

Broly stepped forward to demonstrate, but saw Sauros wave his hand.

"I think this demon girl is quite suitable; she would be just right as Alice's magic teacher."

Hearing this, Alphonse, the Butler, looked somewhat apologetically at the boy and said: "Broli-sama, Sauros-sama always keeps his word, and the Boreas Family only intends to hire one magic teacher this time. Since Miss Roxy has already passed, then..."

Before Alphonse finished speaking, a red-haired little girl in a white dress came running from the castle not far away.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, what was that just now?"

The voice arrived before the person.

"Oh, Alice, my adorable granddaughter, that just now was Water Saint-rank magic!"

Sauros's voice was still loud; he directly picked up his granddaughter who ran to his side and said loudly to her.

"Can I learn it?"

The little one was extremely excited, her eyes shining brightly.

"Of course, I have already hired the mage who cast that magic just now to be your magic teacher afterward."

"Alice, aren't you not very interested in magic?"

Philip asked his daughter curiously, finding her change of attitude strange.

"I don't want to learn embarrassing magic that throws little sparks and little waterballs, but I want to learn powerful magic that makes the sky suddenly darken and brings sudden storms!"

【New capture target discovered: Alice Beryas Greyrat. Happiness Value currently rising.】

Alice did not dislike magic; she just disliked petty magic that could be easily cut down by a sword.

Having witnessed the demon girl's grand Water Saint-rank magic in this loop, this Boreas Family girl of not yet five years old developed a strong interest in magic.
