Genius Is Taught by Geniuses

121 – Lecture

We decided to talk about dragon hunting again this evening.

Rain Rover also had a lecture on Tuesday morning, so there were things to prepare, and there was a lecture on ‘The Knight and Wizard Linked Battle’ in the afternoon of T-Christ.

Of course, the dragon hunting was not a simple enough matter to conclude with Rain Rover and Tigris alone.

Tigris finished his last lecture meeting with Nadal this morning, and headed to the gym.

There were 140 students standing in line with every single one of them.

The students held their breath as Tigris appeared on the podium.

It was because the fact that he was breathing in the same space with a genius who might have come out once in a hundred years, no, once in a thousand years was too impressive in itself.

Tigris opened his mouth.

“Today, as I said during orientation, I will focus on theory classes. The students of the School of Magic will follow Instructor Djokovic, and the students of the Department of Swordsmanship will follow me.”

Despite the fact that they met after almost three weeks, Tigris conducted the class in a dry manner without a simple greeting.

The wizards said they couldn’t attend Tigris’s class in person, but they couldn’t help it.

I’m here to take a class now, not to see Tigris’ face.

Instructor Djokovic said, pointing to the potion box in front of the podium.

“Students take this potion box and have them follow me.”

The students tilted their heads thinking that it was not an alchemy class and some kind of potion, but once Djokovic ordered it, the students of the School of Magic followed.

Rather, he wanted to look good to Tigris, so there was a small commotion to win the only two potion boxes.

Then, Tigris said.

“Rakan and Rain Rover stay here to help me.”

“Yes. All right.”

At those words, not only the students of the Swordsman Department, but also the students of the School of Magic tilted their heads for a moment.

I already knew that Rakan and Rain Rover were very special, but I wondered if it was enough to not have to attend Instructor Djokovic’s class.

Natural questions passed by, but none of the students of the School of Magic and the Department of Swordsmanship opened their mouths.

Initially, Rain Rover is a princess, and Rakan is a student who is favored by both Tigris and Rain Rover.

The moment you open your mouth, you will start your already hard life in hard mode.

Of course, T-Christ didn’t take them out for no reason.

This is because the ‘practical training’ that Djokovic is currently conducting was a class that Rain Rover and Rakan did not need to take.

I decided that it would be more efficient to help Tigris proceed with the class, so I had a conversation with Djokovic in advance this morning.

As Djokovic and the students of the Faculty of Magic disappeared into another dance hall, Tigris opened his mouth.

“Then I will go straight to the theory class. Does anyone know what kind of auxiliary magic that students of the Faculty of Magic can use in common?”

The students raised their hands, and Tigris pointed to Aiden, who raised his hand in the front.

Aiden immediately opened his mouth.

“The buff-type magic has a total of three barriers: smooth wind, vitality increase, and strength, and the barriers are the 1st circle normal barrier and the 2nd circle double barrier. Lastly, there are 9 debuffs, including hold and slow, and weakness, and finally, flash.”

“That’s right.”

The students looked at Aiden with envy, and Aiden grinned as if she was happy at the thought of getting a score from Tigris.

“Today, you will have time to experience these 9 magics and see what characteristics they have when they are activated. I’ll get a report on it in class next week, so I can keep my mind straight.”

The students’ expressions hardened for a moment when they said they would receive the report.

Although he didn’t say anything, Tigris could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their faces.

– Another report?

– I write reports for other liberal arts subjects as well.

Due to the busy academic schedule, I received a report of the theory class that other instructors couldn’t do, just like Tigris.

Tichrist knew that fact, but it was a mistake to think that Tigris would skip the lecture.

Whatever the other lectures, the students needed to get to the level Tigris was aiming for by the end of the semester.

This is because these are talented people who will play an active part in the war against Rota and Arpem in the future.

Tigris opened his mouth.

“Today’s sweat is like blood from war.”

At Tigris’ serious tone of digging into his ears, the students realized what kind of expression they were making and quickly started managing their expressions.

“As you all know, the current empire is in chaos. The first breakwater that will protect you and your loved ones in this chaotic wave is no one else but the knight you dream of.”

The students gulped their saliva at Tigris’ sad blue eyes.

“If you become weak, your life will be second to you, and good people and your loved ones will die. You are not just students of the swordsmanship department. They are the shields to protect from the threats of the enemies and the knights who will become the fear of the enemies. So right now, I can’t tolerate giving up and giving up just because it’s hard and difficult.”

Most of the students were terrified by Tigris’ scream, but Charlotte and Irene took on a familiar bloody smell.

Tigris was always convinced of the terrible war to come, and pushed himself.

It didn’t tell us who the war was or when it was going to happen, but sometimes when Tigris didn’t come home for no reason, the bloody smell terrified the two of them and made them raise their swords.

It was still the same today.

Tigris, who had been silent for a while, confirmed that the students had calmed down and opened his mouth.

“Then let’s go straight to class. Let Rain Rover and Rakan come forward.”

Tigris handed the Magic Amplification Artifact to Rain Rover and Rakan.

It was an expensive artifact that was not disposable and could be used indefinitely by simply changing the mana stones, but it was sponsored by the Lord Elim family and could be borrowed for free.

“It would be nice to explain each magic in detail, but I will omit the details as they are in the theory book I handed out.”

“Today, I will have time to experience the effects of various auxiliary magics and think about how to use them.”

Tigris gave Rain Rover a wink.

Rain Rover reached out and began to form a magic formula.

It was a smooth wind, a basic 2nd circle secondary magic.

Smooth wind magic is the most basic buff magic that minimizes the wind resistance of the body.

When knights move, the most stumbling block is air resistance, which is a magic that makes it almost non-existent, so it was one of the knights’ favorite buff magic after barriers.

A single streak of wind, expressed in the Rain Rover’s circle magic, flowed through the artifact hung on his wrist and split into a total of 120 winds.

And the wind went perfectly into the 120 students.

“From now on, until the buff magic stops, let’s go to the gym freely. You can swing your sword lightly in the air, or you can go around the gymnasium.”

The students tilted their heads as if puzzled.

It felt like a gust of wind wrapped around my body, but I didn’t feel any difference.

Naturally, it was Charlotte and Irene who moved first.

Charlotte and Irene pulled out their swords and started walking through the dance floor.

The two of them roamed freely like foxes running around in the field, and the students came to their senses and began to wander around themselves.

“Can’t you feel the difference?”

“Does it seem a little faster?”

The students felt strange because nothing seemed different except for a slightly faster feeling.

It certainly felt like the wind resistance had disappeared, but I kept tilting my head to see if it was a big car or not.

3 minutes later.

The magic on the students’ bodies was released.

At that time, the students were momentarily perplexed.

“Huh?”

A strong wind brushed the collar and pulled the students.

To express this feeling a little exaggeratedly, it feels like running in water, right?

It made me wonder how heavy the air was.

“Are you sure you feel it?”

The students nodded their heads.

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Right now, you are two-star knights at best. But can you imagine how severe the air resistance will be if you become a 4-star knight and then a 5-star knight?”

The students swallowed Tigris’ words.

I finally understood how deceptive the buff magic that removes air resistance is.

“Then let me go on. There are six magic left for you to experience in the future.”

* * *

Tigris told Rain Rover and Rakan to continue casting spells, and then headed to the gym right next to Djokovic’s training.

As soon as Tigris arrived at the gym, the first thing he found was the potion box he had taken with him before class.

One of the two potions Djokovic had brought was empty.

The potion was used very well by the students.

“Aww! Don’t come! Don’t come near me!”

A rapier kept a certain distance from each other behind the students, and some students devoured their fear as if the rapier had become an okra and fled everywhere.

Some of the dogs stopped running and crafted a magic trick to drop the rapier.

bang- bang-

“Ugh, I failed again!”

“shit! Why am I making such a rudimentary mistake!”

However, none of them failed, and the magic bullet was blown to the wrong place or the barrier magic disappeared.

The only thing left for the students who failed the magic was to run away.

Tigris turned to Sora, who controls the floating rapier, not Djokovic.

Sora was happy to see the students running around like crazy, and her smile never left her face.

“Ah, Instructor Tigris.”

Sora reflexively expressed the example of a knight.

His eyes were shining like stars, full of loyalty.

It was like seeing a happy cat with 18 delightful toys.

“I never dreamed that this lecture would be so enjoyable.”

“It would be fun to bully students.”

“Ahahaha! Isn’t it important to have fun with something?”

Tigris shook her head as she saw Sora speaking as if she had mastered the truth of the world.

The drug Djokovic prepared was a kind of hallucinogen, and it was made based on a bodily fluid extracted from Somnium’s ‘Nightmare’.

The reason that these hallucinogens were fed to wizards was to train the wizards to use magic quickly and accurately under strong psychological pressure.

Wizards are often exposed to various dangers as they are the most dangerous to knights and mage soldiers of enemy countries.

Some guerrillas break in and attack the rear, or even send all the knights to charge towards the wizards.

So the wizards in the battlefield developed magic techniques under the pressure of not knowing when they would be attacked, but there were cases where the magic fell on the allies by failing the magic or setting the coordinates wrong because of excessive tension.

So, Tigris wanted to train the students of the Faculty of Magic to at least use magic even under strong psychological pressure, and gave them hallucinogenic drugs to create a situation similar to a battlefield.

Of course, this mayhem was a little more than Tigris had thought.

Djokovic found Tigris and approached him slowly.

“Are you here?”

“Aren’t you using more hallucinogens than you thought?”

“no. It’s less than a hundredth the toxicity of a maniac mushroom. It’s because the students haven’t had much experience using magic in situations like this yet.”

Djokovic said as he watched the wizards run away screaming.

“Rakan used his magic well in a much harsher situation than this one. If you can’t do this, you can’t be called a battle wizard.”

“Is the situation worse than this?”

“Rakan’s mind attacks don’t work, so I actually made my own golems chase them. Still, he calmly carried out his magic.”

Tigris was momentarily speechless.

To make them use magic while running among tons of golems shaking the earth.

It would be correct to think of it as a ranger training process, not a wizard.

“By comparison, students are medicine. To go into a panic state just by chasing a sword. We have a long way to go.”

All wizard training was entrusted to Djokovic, so I decided to leave it alone for now.

“Then I will go back to the students of the Swordsmanship Department.”

“yes. Okay. Oh right. Principal Bastian had just arrived, and he had a message to tell.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was about having dinner tonight with Princess Rain Rover. It looks like you have something to talk about with lizards.”

* * *

Bastian and Rain Rover and Nadal and Tigris ate at the reserved restaurant.

Bastian opened the door with a light school story.

“Nadal, how about teaching the students yesterday and today?”

“Whether it’s a lecture on alchemy or a lecture given by Sir Tigris, I think it’s fine because the students are following along.”

“Good luck. I was worried a lot about whether it would be difficult because of the twisted academic schedule this time.”

Rain Rover said with a small smile.

“During today’s lecture, I couldn’t really tell whether the students of the Faculty of Magic received magic training or ranger training. I was covered in dirt from head to toe, and I became very beggar-like. Rather, the clothes of the students of the swordsmanship department were clean.”

“Still, your magic skills have grown rapidly, haven’t they?”

“Well, at least now, even if the knights chase after them with swords, they don’t get tired of peeing and they seem to be able to use barrier magic.”

Bastian looked at Tigris and said.

“How about the knights?”

“It was difficult at first because most of the students were experiencing auxiliary magic for the first time, but now I seem to have gotten used to it quite well. I think we will be able to accurately understand the achievements of the students when we see a full-scale team training next week.”

“It’s good that instructor Tigris said positive things from the mouth though.”

After the meal was over and the car came out, Bastian started talking in earnest.

“I heard you wanted to discuss how to deal with Dragon Aurom, right?”

Tigris took a sip of tea and nodded.

“That’s right. We cannot leave Aurome on Mount Draco Requiem forever.”

“The surest way is to teleport and seal it in the mysterious land, but the dragon’s body is definitely not worth it.”

Dragon heart is called the elixir of heaven, scales and bones are the materials that every blacksmith wants to handle at least once, and blood and flesh are the highest quality magic materials.

If Aurome could be safely killed, the soaring imperial stock price would pierce the ceiling without knowing it.

Noble families throughout the empire would sell their souls for a piece of dragon scales and a drop of blood.

Rain Rover opened his mouth.

“Once I found the literature, it is said that in order to kill a dragon, at least two conditions are required. The first is a relic with a legend that killed a dragon or an arsenal made of dragon scales and bones, and the second is a master class or archmage who can handle that weapon perfectly.”

“There are three holy relics that killed dragons. One is the ‘Summer of Friharden’ owned by the Friharden family, the other is the ‘Spear of the Gods’ that pierces Aurome’s chest, and the last is the ‘Dragon Blood Sword’ of the Welf family.”

“The Welf family’s dragon blood sword has been lost, and there is no Archmage from the Lucet family who can wield the divine spear, so the only real relics that can be used are the summer of Friharden.”

Summer in Friharden.

One of the relics used by Tigris before his return was the sword that killed Friha for the winter.

Nadal thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“If Sir Bergang took the summer of Friharden and beheaded Aurom, would you kill him?”

“It is impossible. Sir Bergang will not even touch the summer of Friharden.”

The reason Tigris asserts was simple.

Friharden’s summer has a strong ego, so only the Friharden family’s blood-blooded clan or a knight who recognized him could use a sword.

“Then how was Sir Tigris available before the return?”

“Because it has been recognized by the summer of Friharden.”

“Isn’t that possible because Lord Tigris was the sword master?”

“no. It doesn’t matter if you’re a sword master. It is important whether you have mastered the Friharden-style swordsmanship or not.”

Rain Rover looked at Tigris with a hopeful expression.

“Then Sir Tigris knows all about the Friharden Ryu?”

Tigris nodded without a word.

“So, although Sir Tigris is a five-star knight, he can create swords and handle the summer of Friharden, so he has achieved the minimum requirement to kill a dragon, right?”

Tigris shook his head.

“no. Simply being able to create a sword cannot decapitate a dragon. It is not for nothing that ‘master class’ is attached to the second condition. Because wielding a sword with the body of a master class and wielding a sword with an imperfect body now is the difference between heaven and earth.”

“Then, does it mean that it is possible to kill a dragon only when Tigris is a sword master?”

“That’s right.”

Rain Rover sighed.

“It was good.”

“But that doesn’t mean there is no way out.”

Tigris was serious about Dragon Heart, and eventually found a way to kill Aurome.

“It is possible as long as you eat the relic of the iron-blooded heart.”
