Genius Is Taught by Geniuses - Genius Is Taught by Geniuses chapter 67
067 – Mission (2)
For Rakan, finding the hidden assassins was not that difficult.
It was because Rakan received all kinds of information just by walking.
[The carriage has not moved for more than 36 hours.]
[Your voices are heard in the carriage.]
[Disposable garbage is overflowing nearby.]
[A white object near a street lamp.]
[Police with strange gait.]
[The street puppies keep looking into the air.]

[Search Results]
1. There is an index-finger assassin in a gilded carriage.
2. There are hidden assassins near the entrance to the Norbert Tower.
3. Unidentified assassins disguised as police officers.
4. There is no reason for the paparazzi to be there until this late hour, and the paparazzi are prowling around. Judging from his face, he is a member of the Big Toe Assassin.
·········.
There was so much information that it was hard to read, it poured like a waterfall.
Rakan didn’t read the whole message.
Because I could read it later anyway.
squeak- squeak-
Instead, Rakan concentrated solely on the rear car.
Rakan’s hands were sweating.
Of course, I had to be nervous.
Everywhere is an assassin.
The paparazzi in the wagons, the ones hiding in stealth artifacts, the cops who have been around the Norverd Tower 10 times, and the narrow alleys.
They were all assassins.
How will they react if Rakan’s identity is revealed?
will you run away?
Or will you attack?
Whatever it was, it was a very dangerous situation.
Rakan looked at Linia, the youngest.
Linia was picking up trash that had fallen at the entrance of the Norverd Tower with her tongs and putting it in a sack.
Does Linia really know?
Three assassins with daggers in front of Linia are watching Linia.
He didn’t seem to know for sure, but he seemed to sense that someone was watching, and sweat was forming on Linia’s forehead.
So did Irene and Charlotte.
I picked up trash from the alley and put it on a sack, but my body was stiff because I was a little nervous.
You can see it in Rakan’s eyes, but how would it be seen by assassins?
It’s not obvious, but in the eyes of the assassins, the four people, including Rakan, will feel a bit strange.
In fact, the assassins were conscious of the Rakan team.
– They’re babies, they’re babies.
– I hope you don’t disturb me and turn it off.
– Why are you so cute? you were there too
-Still, the guy who pulls the rear car has good eyesight. You seem to know right away who we are.
-I’ll be going around here for a while.
They thought Rakan and the three of them were rookie assassins.
There were three reasons why they mistook Rakan and the three men for assassins.
They were all hired by three different brokers, so you didn’t know how many assassins were hunting Trisha.
The preparation of the Rakan team was quite good.
It was because the level of the four of them was vaguely low to be considered an Inquisitor or a Golden Knight.
And it didn’t matter if they thought it was strange and started talking to me or attacking me.
At that moment, the necklace of lovers will be activated, or the golden knights and iron-blooded wizards who are currently secretly protecting the three will come to guard.
There is no other safe search operation in the world.
Even though Rakan knew all this, he swallowed dry saliva over and over again.
After a while, Rakan and the three of them made their way safely through the road in front of the Norverd Tower.
“after······.”
The four people, including Rakan, were drenched in sweat from how nervous they were.
But no one spoke.
I kept picking up trash for once until Rakan stopped.
It was because the assassins could have followed after Rakan’s team.
Rakan confirmed that no one was following him, and hid in the alleyway he had seen in advance.
“under······.”
Linia immediately leaned her back against the wall and sat down as her legs were shaking.
Charlotte and Irene also looked more tired than when they were swinging their swords, so their complexion was not good.
Rakan took water from his bag and handed it to the three of them.
“thank you for your effort.”
“thank you.”
The three drank water without a word.
Charlotte looked up and opened her mouth.
“So did you find it?”
“yes. A total of 15 people.”
“There were 15 people?”
“yes. Among them, there seemed to be Old Moon assassins and Poisner assassins. Perhaps Trisha was tasked with reporting to the superiors when Ms. Trisha came out.”
“Are you going to report them all? Weren’t the three assassins we were aiming for today?”
“Once you find it, you have to report it. Hopefully, the search mission can end today.”
Charlotte tilted her head.
“Didn’t you say that we need to find out where Poisner and the main force of the Old Moon Assassin are hiding?”
“If we interrogate the guys we caught today, won’t they come out?”
“Oh, it could be.”
Irene opened her mouth after emptying the bottle of water.
“Then what do we do now? Can I report it right now?”
“yes. That’s it.”
Rakan secretly opened a message window and prepared to report.
Everything he discovered through Rakan’s eyes, including the details of the assassins, their current location, and the artifacts they were using, was organized inside out.
Then he took the crystal ball and reported it right away.
“This is Rakan. I will report you.”
-Confirm.
“Four black wagons, three at the Norberd entrance, two at streetlight 2157, two police officers patrolling the Norverd Tower, one on the second floor of the AK building, and three paparazzi. A total of 15 people. As a detail…….”
Rakan continued to report nonstop for nearly three minutes.
He reported the name of the assassin group, the name of each assassin, the artifacts they were using, and even the peculiarities.
The reason I was able to see so many things was because Rakan had previewed the inside information of the Inquisitor.
Nadal gave us access to information about the assassins involved in this search mission, from their real names to their trivial habits.
Of course, there were so many that I couldn’t memorize them all.
So, I used the 3,000-point [Level Investigation Notepad] to memorize their information into the system instead.
In addition, using the 5,000-point [Link] ability to link the [Advanced Search] ability with the [Low Investigation Notepad], an automatic investigation system was built that automatically memorizes information, analyzes it, and shows the results to Rakan.
The proverb that a bear works for talent and a bastard takes money is probably just the word used in this case.
The three men, who were not aware of it, continued to watch Rakan’s report blankly.
“…you saw all that?”
Charlotte also saw people suspected of being assassins, but didn’t know the details.
However, Rakan reported even small details that the three of them did not see.
Coming out of the operation together, it seemed like Tigris knew why Rakan had been hired.
“······That is all.”
-Confirm.
When Tigris’ voice came out of the crystal ball, Rakan put the crystal ball into his bosom.
Linia looked at Rakan and said.
“Is this the end……?”
“yes. Our mission today ends here.”
Linia seemed a little vain.
It was said to be a search operation, but it seemed that he did not know that it would end without a single knife.
Rakan held his breath as much as possible because he was afraid of the knife, but Linia seemed to be looking forward to the battle.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of Charlotte and Irene, both of them seemed to be expecting a bit.
Nevertheless, this is the first task given to them and the actual battle.
They wanted to show Tigris that they were great too, but it seemed futile to end without showing anything.
“We were helpful to your brother, aren’t we?”
“yes. It definitely helped.”
Linia said, putting her mask back on.
“Okay then. It’s a little sad though. Then tomorrow too…”
Whoops!
At that moment, a loud explosion was heard from the side of the Norbert Tower.
The four, including Rakan, made eye contact.
Irene, Charlotte, and Linia pulled out the sword hidden in the rear car.
Rakan said hurriedly when his momentum grew violent as if he was about to run towards the Norberd Tower at any moment.
“for awhile······.”
Charlotte said.
“Lakan. Come inside.”
That was Rakan’s mistake.
The three did not forget their mission.
Rakan followed Charlotte’s instructions.
Rakan looked around.
There were no signs of anything.
“For now, the alley is the best place to defend, so let’s wait here. When the instructor calls, I will be ready to move immediately.”
bang-! bang-!
But strangely, a huge explosion sounded not only from the Norverd Tower, but from other places as well.
Charlotte muttered with great tension.
“What is the situation with this now?”
“I don’t know. But I can only guess.”
Rakan swallowed his saliva and said.
“I don’t think Instructor Tigris had any intention of keeping this work for a long week.”
“What are you talking about? Are you saying that there are other people who have other operations besides us?”
“I think so. Maybe the Golden Knights or the Inquisitors.”
“Why are they moving?”
“Currently, the assassins are targeting Trisha, but they are encamped in the Norverd Tower where Instructor Tigris lives. Of course, from the imperial point of view, we have no choice but to react sensitively.”
Irene continued to look around and said.
“… our mission is to be part of a really big operation.”
“It’s like that.”
“Is there anything we can do to help?”
“If the problem grows to the point where we have to step in, it will be a big deal. It helps if we keep waiting until we get a call.”
The three nodded and focused on the border.
At that moment, a message appeared in front of Rakan’s eyes.
[Quest Success!]
Catch the Hitman!
Number of people found and reported: 15.
Earn 10,500 points!
The operation seemed to have ended successfully.
* * *
A corpse was lying near the Norbert Tower.
All were assassins reported by Rakan.
As soon as Tigris received Rakan’s report, he immediately went down the elevator and literally slaughtered them.
When they tried to escape, they threw their swords and threw them in half, and those who attacked were killed with their weapons.
Instead, the Poisner Assassins and Old Moon Assassins were spared one by one.
It was because they might have to dig up the location of their main base.
A man in a black mask appeared next to Tigris.
He was an Inquisitor agent.
“You suffered.”
“What happened to the brokers?”
“We are currently working on it. As soon as we hear the news, we will deliver it to you.”
“The brokers must be captured. We need to know the exact reason why they were trying to target Trisha.”
“All right.”
“Oh, and do we need to keep these guys alive?”
The agent looked at the faces of the two men bound by Tigris’ celestial chains and shook his head.
“no. The locations of the Poisner Assassins and Old Moon Assassins have already been identified.”
“Right.”
Scratch!
Tigris cut off their heads at once and let them go without pain.
Tigris glanced over the dead.
Their skills were not as high as they were reported.
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like they were great enough to kill Trisha.
Luckily, the Poisner assassins were the ones who had the potential to kill Trisha, but it was a bit disappointing.
At that time, the agent heard the report from the crystal ball and opened his mouth.
“It is said that one of the three brokers who hired the assassins committed suicide on the spot and two survived. It is said that the Poisner assassins and the Old Moon assassins have all been cleared out.”
“Anything special?”
“···yes. That’s right.”
“what?”
The agent said as if confused.
“It is said that there is one assassin sent directly from the Kingdom of Gillion without going through a broker.”
Assassins sent from the national level are different from these freelance assassins.
They operate solely for the benefit of the nation, not money, such as conducting black operations like ‘Black Maw’ or assassinating generals of enemy countries.
Of course, his skills were incomparable to those of these guys.
“Do you know the name?”
“My name is Owen Safia, who was originally a knight and then changed his job to an assassin.”
“Saffia? Speaking of Safia, isn’t it the name of the baron family that went extinct 8 years ago?”
“yes. you’re right. The second son of the Safia family is Owen Safia.”
The swordsmanship of the Safia family had been experienced in the past.
The ‘shadow swordsmanship’ that Gordon showed at the Young Blood Tournament last year was the sword of the Safia family.
“Have you figured out his location?”
“Currently being tracked.”
That means they don’t know where it is yet.
‘He killed Trisha.’
The Safia family was famous for taking care of all kinds of dirty work, to the extent that it was nicknamed the imperial hunting dog in the past.
However, it was known that the Safia family rebelled against the imperial family for some reason, and Berggan directly destroyed the Safia family.
At that moment, the crystal ball of Tigris reacted and Rakan’s voice came out.
– Instructor! right here…
The crystal ball’s light faded.
It meant that Rakan’s crystal ball was broken.
Even if things went wrong, it was clear that things were going wrong.
“I’ll fix this here…”
“I’ll leave it to you.”
Tigris ran right away.
* * *
Rakan threw a dagger-studded crystal ball.
Then I looked at the man who was blocking the alley tightly.
The man was holding a sword in reverse, and the blade was stained with red blood.
“I was curious about who the assassins were, protected by the Golden Knights and the Iron-Blood Wizards, so I came here, but I was surprised that it was bigger than I expected.”
The man’s eyes went through Charlotte and Irene to Linia.
Linia’s body trembled at the stickiness that the man had shot.
Charlotte said in a tense voice.
“who are you.”
“okay. I’m going to the underworld, but it’d be better to know my name and go. My name is Owen Safia.”
“········Saffia?”
“Oh, I guess you know the name of my family. It is the name of a family that was destroyed by the emperor eight years ago.”
Owen walked slowly towards the four of you.
“Well, I want to go deeper, but the prince behind me has been fooling around. I’m sorry, but I have to die soon.”
“We are docile…”
Charlotte’s eyes widened.
Obviously, it was because Owen, who was far away, was in front of Charlotte.
“Surely what?”
Owen’s sword flew towards Charlotte’s neck.
Charlotte responded to the sword and tried to block it, but Owen’s sword was too fast.
A flashlight flashed past Charlotte’s eyes.
‘Dad······.’
Zeng-!
However, even Owen’s black transparent wall could not advance as if blocked.
At the same time, a burning pain rushed from Owen’s side.
A dagger was lodged in Owen’s side.
“ね!”
Owen drew his dagger and quickly stepped back.
“What is this…”
“It was a good thing I followed you in case you didn’t know.”
A woman suddenly appeared next to Charlotte.
It was Trisha.
Trisha had a curved sword in one hand and a snake-like sword in the other.
“How are four years…”
“Isn’t it worse than that? Even after being bitten by our cutie Lmir, no one is standing properly.”
The ability of Lmir, the Holy Serpent of the Desert Serpent, was simple.
It was the ability to make wounds not easily healed and to amplify pain five times or more.
Usually, if this Lmir is pierced to the lungs, he will fall down by grabbing the wound immediately, but Owen endured it with superhuman patience as to whether he had obtained 5 rings by scabbing.
But the boy exhaled hard, as if it was too much for him to just stand still.
“Are you sure it’s Owen? Why are you targeting me?”
“I have nothing to tell you.”
Owen checked his condition.
Fighting Trisha like this is crazy.
Whatever the mission, it was right to escape.
Owen pulled out a teleport scroll from his pocket.
“That child!”
“Wash your neck and wait. I’ll take your neck for the next four years.”
north-!
Owen tore the teleport scroll.
However, the teleport scroll didn’t work.
“uh?”
Trisha laughed at how funny Owen’s stupid expression was.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Why is this… why is this…”
“how about it? Aren’t you good at acting?”
“What is that…….”
Owen followed Trisha’s gaze and looked back.
Behind him was Tigris.
Tigris’ hand was holding a chain of celestials, which was somehow attached to Owen’s right ankle.
“Hey Zen…….”
puck!
Tigris struck the man’s temple with his sword, and he blackened as it was.
