Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

After a day of rest, the group left Toma City early morning on the 3rd day.

They had sold some of the horses and bought a few more carts to drag along with most of what they had. Now, the corpses didn’t have to stay in their armor the entire time, so they could move much faster than walking speed.

There were still quite a few uphills and downhill pathways, but none were as extreme as climbing an entire mountain, so it was rather easy.

They had plenty of provisions, so Ning and the rest could freely travel without having to worry about anything at all. It rained the day they traveled, and continued drizzling lightly even after they reached the next big city 3 days later by the name of Poras.

During these 3 days, Ning had upped the intensity of his training for Shara. She was no longer the weak girl who had to be trained on how to move a spear before she could fight.

During the month-long period, she had learned enough that she could hold her own against a regular person, so Ning began training her even more harshly.

He had promised her that he would make her daily life a living hell while he taught her how to fight with the spear. Now, he was keeping his promise.

By the time their training ended, Shara would be covered in wounds all over her body, placed precisely by Ning so as to not wound her fatally.

Mari sat by the carriage door, watching them train every day, even in the rain, ready to heal either of the two in the instance that they were fatally harmed.

Fighting was not just all that Ning taught Shara. He taught her many other things as well. He first taught her to properly read and write. Shara knew just enough about reading and writing, but Ning made her learn it at the core.

Along with that, he taught her the current geopolitical status of the continent, teaching her examples of what one had to do and what one shouldn’t. He taught her how to calculate risks and rewards. He taught her how to be good at knowing when the go in and when to give up.

He started drip-feeding her information at first. He needed her to have a solid foundation in the understanding of what he was going to teach her before forcing the heavy weight of his knowledge upon her.

From morning until late at night, Shara got maybe 3 hours of spare time for herself. Every other time was either for learning or training.

Upon arriving at the city, the training slowed down for the duration of the stay. Ning had other things to do, so Shara had the time to relax and learn on her own.

Around that time, Mari began teaching her things as well. Things she had learned as the daughter of a high noble. There were many things she learned regarding how to teach one’s subordinate, or how to win someone else’s trust.

There were things that she had seen Ning miss out on, so she stepped in to teach them.

Shara was like a dry sponge that had suddenly been tossed into the ocean. She was thirsty for knowledge, but this was simply so much more than she had expected.

She was already full, and yet they kept teaching her, hammering in everything. Just how much more could a dry sponge absorb before it was too much?

However, every time she thought she was at the end, she realized that there was some other spot that was still tried. She continued sucking in more knowledge.

Soon, she began understanding that she was at the shore of the ocean and the waves kept pushing her onto the sand where if the ocean didn’t come for her, she would dry up once again.

She needed to keep jumping into the ocean. She needed to keep learning more and more. Only when she was deep at the center of the ocean would she finally be completely filled up with no chance of ever drying up again?

Even though giving up was all she really wanted to do, she persevered, staying on the track, learning, and practicing.

During his time in the city, Ning visited different taverns and spots where people gathered to sell his talent cheaply. He was a Spirit Detective who was willing to work for a super cheap pay. Once people found that out, they began to gather around him very soon.

The City of Poras did seem to have Spirit Detectives, but they did not work as Ning did. They expected people to pay a lot for them as their work wasn’t so easy.

Talking to the Spirits was the easy part. It was fulfilling their requirement that was the difficult part. Which was why they expected so much pay.

Ning was an anomaly who worked day and night for close to no pay.

Ning returned to the tavern where he met Matthew and the rest who were making preparations for their travel tomorrow.

“We’re leaving in the morning?” Ning asked.

Matthew nodded. “With sunrise.”

“Can we delay for an hour or two? I have a few works I need time to finish. I took on jobs that I can only do tomorrow,” he said.

Matthew shrugged. “Sure, we can do that,” he said. “Although, I must ask. Is it fun making enemies everywhere you go?”

Ning gave a confused look. “What do you mean?” he asked.

Matthew looked at Ning closely. “Are you acting or do you really not know?” he asked.

“Know what?” Ning asked.

“That you are making enemies with the Spirit Detectives in the city,” Matthew said.

“Why would I be making enemies with…” Ning paused for a moment, a thought crossing across his mind that he hadn’t thought of ever in his life as he hadn’t come across the situation before.

“Oh… shit!” he said. “You’re right. I am making enemies.”
