Genius Is Taught by Geniuses chapter 68

068 – Break (1)

Trisha, Irene, Charlotte, Linia and Tigris have returned home.

Tigris was wearing a black suit that he didn’t usually wear, and the four of them were wearing similarly black, formal clothes.

They went to the funeral of the bodyguards who protected the Rakan team yesterday.

Lenny said, taking Tigris’ hat.

“Can I get you a cup of tea?”

Tigris nodded silently and sat down on the sofa.

The four, including Trisha, sat on the sofa in the living room as promised.

Jane sat next to Linia, who looked the most depressed, and leaned against Linia’s body.

“Have you been well?”

“······yes.”

Jane silently grabbed Linia’s hand, who was shaking slightly, and stroked it.

It was the first time Jane had ever felt so sad that she was a guardian spirit.

If it wasn’t for the spirit, I would have been able to hold Linia’s hand warmly…

However, as Jane’s warm heart reached her, Linia’s trembling quickly subsided.

As the hot tea came to the table, Tigris opened his heavy mouth.

“Sacrifice is inevitable regardless of the success or failure of the operation.”

“Even in Norberd alone, the Black Wolf Knights lose 5 to 7 people every year, and 10 to 20 casualties in the case of regular soldiers. In the case of the Train Guard, which guards the magic train that carries 10 million people every year, 300 to 400 people are steadily dying. If you include the number of people who have suffered serious and irreparable injuries, it is much more.”

“Then did they fail in their mission? not. Thanks to their sacrifice, this empire is functioning properly. The monsters of the annihilation cannot go south, and the magic train that transports 10 million passengers every year runs on the railroad tracks without any problems.”

“The same goes for the sacrifices of the bodyguards who protected you. The value of their sacrifice is up to you. The value of their death will vary depending on how much you contribute to this empire.”

Tigris said looking at the three people with dark expressions on their faces.

“Then give me enough time to clear my mind. However, raising the sword is prohibited. If you train with a cluttered mind, you will become poison.”

The three of them widened their eyes.

I was expecting more intense training, but I never imagined that I would be told not to train.

“I like going out for a walk, meeting people, and volunteering. It would be nice to see a play or go shopping. Other than training, other sports like running or swimming can help relieve stress.”

Death will never be accustomed to, but the three must know how to release the resulting stress.

Only then will it be able to withstand that hellish battlefield in the future.

“If you don’t understand, think of this as training and go ahead.”

Charlotte opened her mouth.

“Do we look a little tired?”

Charlotte’s self-esteem was slightly hurt because it sounded like she was weak.

I thought something like this could happen.

“It would be strange if you didn’t get tired after going through that.”

The three of them flinched at Tigris’ words.

“Once the original operation or mission is finished, the knights get a day or two rest. It doesn’t matter what you do on that rest day, but you must learn to rest your sword.”

These three have very few hobbies other than swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship training has become both a job and a hobby.

This might be fine for now, but it’s easy to break down later when you’re in a psychological extreme.

The human mind is not a machine that can be easily repaired if it breaks down.

So they had to know how to release the accumulated stress.

Tigris opened the checkbook and handed it to the four of you.

There was no amount written on the check.

“Let’s get enough rest until tomorrow. If you say you have to take a break from school tomorrow, I’ll pass it on to the other instructors. And Trisha, you can act freely until I call you.”

Trisha nodded and said.

“yep. All right.”

Tigris got up.

“If you need money, use the check.”

Tigris entered the study.

* * *

The three including Linia were staring blankly at the checkbook.

The three people’s routine was very simple.

I wake up at dawn, swing my sword, go to school, and when I get home, I swing my sword again and sleep.

Every day was a continuation of training, and the routine wasn’t particularly bad.

All three of them were swordsmen by nature, so learning the sword itself was a lot of fun.

But today, when I told him not to swing his sword, he stood still like an artifact with mana stones removed.

There was no life at all in his eyes.

‘·······It is serious.’

Trisha seemed to understand why Tigris had asked these three men to put their swords down and rest.

It was like burning wood.

The three were tasked with escorting Rakan, wandering among assassins capable of killing a single person in a funny way.

And the nine bodyguards who were protecting them were killed by Owen, and even they themselves had the experience of being killed by him.

If you said you were okay even after going through something like that, you are more likely to be mentally ill.

So what they most needed was proper rest.

‘I’ll have to do this.’

Trisha is an expert in this field of stress management.

Trisha died hundreds of times and failed thousands of times in the ordeal of the constellation.

This was partly because Trisha had a very steely mentality, but also because she knew how to properly relieve the stress that was building up.

Trisha relieved her stress by giving up the goal of the ordeal and talking to people in the ordeal of the constellation when she failed too many times and was mentally exhausted in the trials of the constellation.

Apart from the achievements of great heroes such as ‘Pereira’, a warrior who defeated the Demon King of Extinction, and ‘Tiano von Labates’, an abandoned nobleman who hunted the king of giants, it was fun to know the human side.

There was no other reason that Trisha became a jokester, but it was a survival strategy to avoid mental exhaustion.

At that moment, Jane and Trisha’s eyes met.

It was almost the first time the two had seen each other, but there was something piercing and common.

Jane was the first to speak.

“Oh, come to think of it, am I the first to see you? My name is Jane.”

“Ah, nice to meet you. I’m Trisha. By the way… Excuse me, are you a spirit?”

“yes. Right. He’s Lenny’s guardian spirit, who bakes well over there.”

“Oh my God? It’s the first time I’ve actually seen a guardian spirit. Ah, I’ve seen it a few times during the Trial of the Constellation, but in this world.”

When Trisha and Jane started talking to each other, the three of them began to come to their senses.

“Ah, I heard that you are a ‘holy hunter’… I heard you are a great adventurer.”

“It’s great. I just found a lot of relics. About 21 or so?”

“Are there 21? How did you find so many?”

“Ummm… I shouldn’t have told you in the first place……. Because this is my food line.”

“Oh yeah? I’m sorry. Did I ask too much?”

In fact, Jane knew that Trisha had a ‘Starry Sky Map’.

All conversations going on inside this building are in Jane’s ears.

But I just pretended not to know.

It was because the eyes of the three people, including Linia, began to be colored with curiosity.

Trisha pretended to be troubled and opened her mouth.

“The people here are trustworthy, so I’ll tell you. Instead, you really have to keep it a secret. Did anyone else know?”

People love the word secret.

Unexpected curiosity and interest arise.

Irene, Charlotte and Linia looked at each other for a moment and then nodded.

Trisha smiled a little as the eyes of the three of them began to turn to life, and pulled out the ‘Starry Sky Map’.

The three people’s eyes widened at the beautiful sight of the night sky in a clean crystal ball.

“This is the celestial map of Byeolbagi. It is a map that can help locate the relics that have not yet broken the ordeal of the constellation.”

Goosebumps rose on Irene’s back when she said that she could find out the location of the relics.

“Then you said that you could tell me the location of the dragon blood sword before…”

“yes. Right. You can figure this out. Ah, let’s look for it once it’s become like this, shall we?”

Irene nodded her head.

“yes. oh······. Wait a minute, then he definitely told me to do a quest.”

“Of course it was, but when money comes and goes between us, it doesn’t matter, right?”

“…are we between us?”

“From now on, we have to learn swords from Tigris. And the story of that request was a lie.”

“Is that a joke……?”

“I don’t take requests to tell you the location of that holy relic. I just lied because I wanted to get to know Irene. I apologize if I offended you.”

“no······.”

“Ahh. For now, we’ll talk about such a boring story later, and let’s find out if our Dragon Blood Sword is still in this world.”

Trisha activated the celestial map of the starburst before she could say anything else.

“It’s a star. Find a dragon spot.”

Then, despite the broad daylight, the surroundings began to get dark.

And the surroundings began to fill with colorful stars.

“Wow······.”

Lenny’s eyes twinkled at the very beautiful sight.

A beautiful star flickered right in front of me like a firefly, but it was so mysterious and beautiful that I lost my hand without realizing it.

But it passed through Lenny’s hand without being touched.

Shortly thereafter, 25 of the millions of stars beamed at each other.

It was as if lighthouses named stars were greeting each other.

The scene was so beautiful that even Irene opened her mouth.

“There it is. Dragon Blood.”

Soon the lights from the star’s lighthouse began to take shape.

It was as if the artist called the universe was working with light.

Eventually, when the shape was completed, everyone exclaimed.

The dragon blood seat had the shape of a great hero, as if a sword had been inserted into a huge dragon’s neck.

From the dragon’s neck, the red starlight blood began to flow like the Milky Way.

Trisha approached the dragon dragon and touched it with her fingertips.

But there was no response.

“After all, I don’t think he’s here yet.”

Usually, when the constellation bestows a new holy thing, it takes at least 5 years and as long as hundreds of years.

However, it has been less than three years since the dragon blood sword was broken.

It was said that even if the dragon sign would come down quickly, we would have to wait two more years.

“…if the dragon blood sword appears in this world, can you tell me right away?”

“I can’t check every day, but I’ll let you know as soon as it appears.”

Irene nodded her head.

“thank you. Trisha.”

Irene’s expression brightened noticeably.

The hope that the dragon blood sword could be retrieved appeared full of hope, and his eyes gleamed like beautiful starlight.

“But you have to overcome the ordeal of the constellation, is it possible?”

“It must be done.”

“Well······. The ordeal of the Dragon Dragon is SS-level in terms of the adventurer level. As far as I know, it happened before the Demon King of Extinction was born, and as you know, it was not attacked by an adventurer, but by the first head of the Welf family, so I do not know how he attacked the ordeal of the constellation.”

Irene clenched her fists.

If the Welf family’s library had been intact, they could have somehow found a strategy, but now it is impossible.

Because the library of the Welf family was completely burned by Lucas to completely destroy the traces of the Welf family.

If Irene had not secretly stole ‘Dragon Cleave’ from the library, it would have been burned together at that time.

“How difficult is the level of difficulty for SS?”

“I know that most SS-class players have to attack as a team with at least one sword master or archmage. Of course, this is a very old story, so I don’t know the exact details.”

Irene counted for a moment.

Will you be able to become a sword master within two years? It’s almost impossible, but time is on Irene’s side.

Tigris made it clear that Irene had the talent to become a sword master.

Not necessarily in 2 years, but in 3 years, no, 5 years later, there will be no problem.

Irene caught the dragon blood spot in her eyes.

“Nothing is impossible. It must be done.”

Trisha stroked the starry sky map.

Then, the surroundings returned to the original shape and changed to the original shape of the living room.

Trisha put the celestial map in her subspace pocket.

Lina and Charlotte were a bit disappointing, so they had a bit of a taste bud.

This is because the celestial map of Byeolbaragi was very beautiful just looking at it.

“If you have any other questions, please let me know. If there is a constellation you want to find, you can ask, or we can talk about other things.”

Linia, who was quiet, opened her mouth.

“By the way, I heard that you became a direct driver of your brother…… is that true?”

“yes. I haven’t been appointed yet, so I’m not a knight.”

“Five······.”

Charlotte’s eyes filled with curiosity.

“If you become a knight, how many rings do you have exactly? I think there are at least four?”

“It’s five.”

“yes? Five?”

“yes. a little too much? I have come to this because I have been through many trials of the constellation.”

Trisha briefly explained how she was able to have five rings.

He explained that he is 25 years old now, but because of the ordeal of the constellation, he is actually 42 years old and wearing 5 rings.

“Of course, I also drank a lot of elixir.”

“How did you get the elixir?”

“You can often find it when you enter the dungeon. Other than that, I sold holy relics and old relics and bought them myself.”

Trisha said looking at the blank check placed in front of the three.

“By the way, what are you going to do with that money?”

Charlotte scratched her head.

“······I do not know.”

It was the same with Irene and Linia.

All three of them lived frugally, not like aristocrats, so they didn’t seem to know how to spend their money.

When it comes to shopping, at most, it was about buying clothes to wear on a daily basis.

“It is important to make money, but it is also very important to spend it… Oh, come to think of it, the whole downstairs was a department store, right?”

Trisha chuckled as if she had thought of something interesting.

“We are going shopping. There is nothing easier than spending money on stress relief.”

* * *

half past ten in the evening.

Department stores were originally supposed to be closed, but department stores were wide open.

But the difference is that there are no other customers in the department store, only the penthouse family.

“Hey!”

Trisha’s voice echoed through the empty department store.

The department store was appallingly quiet, as there were no employees except for the really minimal staff.

“Hey~ After all, money is great no matter what, and the owner of the building is 100 times better than the owner of the creator. Can I borrow this whole large department store?”

Trisha looked like she was excited about the products.

It was as if a child had come to a toy store.

On the other hand, Irene, Charlotte, and Linia stared blankly at Trisha.

Trisha beckoned to see if the three of them were frustrated.

“what are you doing! Come and give me money.”

“Even if you say that…”

“You don’t know what to buy?”

The three nodded.

“Oh, then we should start with the easy ones.”

Trisha said looking at the department store official.

“Amelia, how many artifact studios have you signed a contract with here?”

“A total of 125 places. What kind of workshop do you want?”

“There are no essential artifacts for these guys here or for adventurers. Really basic things, please. Do you know what I mean?”

Amelia nodded as if understanding.

“All right. If you are having a cup of tea here, I will prepare it right away.”

“Yes, thank you.”

After a while, the employees, including Amelia, brought dozens of artifacts and colonized the three of them.

There were many types of artifacts.

Starting with clothes, there were artifacts in the form of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and even underwear.

The three had no idea where they were using these oddly shaped artifacts.

Amelia took out a drawers-type artifact from among them.

“This is an artifact used by adventurers, mercenaries, and knights alike. In fact, it is a must-have item for those who work abroad for at least a month. The constant cleaning magic is activated, so sweat and wastes are automatically filtered out. Once activated, it lasts two weeks.”

Charlotte tilted her head and said.

“So you mean long-lasting panties……?”

Trisha is a foot! said with a smile.

“This is what I use that day. Charlotte.”

“that day?”

“There is. Monthly wars waged by women.”

“ah······!”

Amelia also introduced other products.

“This is an artifact that contains the 4 circle whole body clean magic. Because it cleans the entire body, it is used a lot regardless of gender. I’ve heard some people use it to get rid of body odor.”

“This bra is a recently developed bra that does not have a string type, but holds the entire chest area, so you won’t have any stiff shoulders. It is quite expensive because it has semi-permanent magic, but it is very good because it can be used for at least 3 to 5 years.”

“If you are a little bothered by your long hair, I think you can use this hair net. Unlike other fragile hair nets and braids, it has a fixed magic that prevents it from coming off easily even with extreme movements.”

Artifacts for military use are regulated very strictly so that they cannot be bought with money, but these artifacts for convenience are not tightly regulated.

Because the battlefield conditions change drastically depending on whether or not there is one such convenience artifact, adventurers and mercenaries who have saved up a lot of money often purchase artifacts for convenience.

Linia picked up an artifact encrusted with blue gems.

“Where do you use this?”

“It’s a contraceptive artifact.”

“ah······! oh.”

Linia was startled and put the ring back on the shelf.

“It is a product that ordinary women buy a lot. It would be good to have at least one available. I really don’t know what the world is.”

Trisha approached Linia’s side.

“why? Will you buy it?”

“Oh, no! I’m still…!”

“As Amelia said, it’s good to buy at least one. I also have one similar. Sometimes it is useful.”

“Useful…. ah······.”

Linia’s face heated up to the point of almost exploding.

“Worried about being on your purchase record? Then can I buy it for you?”

“Ah… because I don’t live!”

When Linia shrieked, Trisha chuckled.
