Chapter 356 – 356. Newbie Education (2)
Trisha’s request was enough to make Erin’s eyes wide open and embarrassing.
Erin stuttered her, looking as if she had just heard it wrong.
“New… A newbie’s education?”
“Huh.”
Trisha nodded her head in affirmation, as if Erin was right.
Erin frowned and refused at once.
“Trisya. Me like that… I can not.”
Just like the other adventurers whispered about Erinn at the guild reception desk.
“I’m in my first year now…”
She herself is a young adventurer, barely a year and a half old.
Although she says that Erin has built her career and her track record, she can definitely say that she is amazing in her own eyes.
She said Erin knew that she was teaching and educating someone.
“But she’s Erin and she’s also gold.”
“Still… She is more experienced and better than me…”
“Erin, there are various reasons for asking you this favor.”
The number of gold-tier adventurers currently active in the Armitas Territory is only seven as reported.
Erin, who became one of them, had a definite reason for asking Erin to educate newbie adventurers.
“At first… At least it’s because of my personal connections that it’s easy for her to ask Erin for her favor.”
“… Yes.”
Erin didn’t hate that honest Trisha’s prudent idea.
Seeing Erin nod her head in affirmation, Trisha continued her words, for obvious reasons.
“Second is… It is because it is difficult to blindly entrust this education to the adventurers of the lower level, the silver rank or the same rank.”
“If you are a silver-tier adventurer…”
Erin tilted her head.
I don’t know if they are of the same rank, but if they are already of the silver rank, aren’t they people who have gone through all the ordeals before childbirth in the adventurer business and can be called veterans?
“Because adventurers basically hate losses and seek efficiency. Rather than investing time in nurturing newbies and nurturing the younger generation, I prefer commissions that directly make money.”
Teaching and educating newbies who do not know how to do anything and teach them one by one.
High remuneration and honor, career and achievements can be built, and sometimes there are cases of making a fortune.
Of course, the conclusion of which adventurers would prioritize and prefer between the two was the latter.
“Furthermore… Among adventurers, there are not only those who approach newbies with purely good intentions.”
“Ah…”
Erin understood Trisha’s meaning and gave a small sigh.
As in the case of Cheolho-dan last time, she is concerned that the back of an ignorant newcomer is being stabbed.
It was because she was worried about exploiting the newbies for an unfair advantage with some impure intentions and thoughts by pretending to be an experienced and skilled adventurer who would be in charge of educating newbies.
“Because there aren’t that many adventurers who willingly agree to the training just because they want to nurture the next generation of adventurers out of pure good will. It’s not like you can see into everyone’s insides.”
In particular, due to the recent Cheolhodan incident, newbies in the adventurer’s guild often began to tremble with anxiety and keep a wary eye on other adventurers.
This is not good in the long run.
Newbies become wary of other adventurers’ invitations to parties or their approaches, and adventurers are bound to be offended by being suspicious and wary.
The atmosphere flowing inside the adventurer’s guild was very subtle.
Recently, there has been a trend of ostracizing newbies by forming a party by themselves rather than bothering to bring newbies.
“So in this situation, the person I thought of was Erin.”
In the case of Erin, on the other hand, the story is different.
A disciple of a man called the Serpent of Mercury, the son-in-law of the duke’s family, the owner of this territory.
I am sure of her personal connections, skills, and identity, and because of the personal acquaintances Trisha has made, I am sure that she is not a woman who harms others for no reason.
In particular, the two of them together with Elvin uncovered all the corruption of Cheolhodan, who had been cheating newbies and extorting unfair profits, and the incident that caused the guild to leave the territory spread.
Erin was a rising little hero among newbies.
She loosens her guard against veteran adventurers, and she’s the perfect person to unleash the feud between veterans and newbies.
“Besides, she doesn’t necessarily teach newbies well to make them succeed. There are some things I just want to make as an example and refer to them later. We are planning to come up with a better plan and curriculum based on Erinn’s adventurer and her training examples.”
“…”
Having said this, Erin put on a complicated expression as she couldn’t keep her mouth open.
“Will do… I’ll…”
In the end, Trisha smiled brightly at Erin’s response as she blushed and bowed her head to express her consent.
“Really!?”
“… Yes.”
“Thank you! Thank you so much! Erin! I will definitely repay you later!”
◆ ◆ ◆
“… So? You said you were in charge of education?”
“… Huh.”
Hearing Erin’s reply, who nodded her head with her stiff face and clearly showed her tired expression, Alvin lowered her head slightly.
“Puff.”
“Ah! Why are you laughing!”
Erin shouted in a huff at the clear sound of Elvin’s laughter.
Erin, obviously ashamed of her new blush even to her ears, was annoyed by the sight of her brother bursting out laughing at her own story.
“So? Why are you telling me that?”
Alvin visited her nursery school and asked her why she was telling him this.
Erin’s expression, which was full of her shyness, turned complicated again in response to Elvin’s question, and she obediently talked about her own concerns.
“… What should I do?”
“So what?”
“No… What the hell am I supposed to teach newbies?”
“…”
At Erin’s vague question, Alvin frowned at her.
Did she come to find herself only because of her troubles?
“Are you asking me that now?”
Even though her rank and career were far ahead of hers, it was even more absurd that she was the only person her great sister sought her advice for.
“There was no one to ask…”
The people around Erin are truly great people.
From heroes such as Illyana and Gerard, who wield powerful military power in their respective domains, to those with high-ranking aristocratic status, such as Alex and Eleanor.
How can I bring such trivial worries to such people?
She was at least Eira, the closest of her peers, but Eira is in Pernin, the capital city that is not in Armitas territory.
If she tells her acquaintances about this trouble, she may feel ashamed and want to hide in her rat hole.
In this situation, the only person Erin can turn to for counseling and advice is Alvin.
“… Ha.”
Alvin let out a small sigh at the sight of her sister showing off her strange side.
“What did you learn from him?”
“… To Hyun?”
“Okay.”
“I learned a lot. From the basics of body building, swordsmanship and taijutsu, she learned how to use magic with Illyana-sama, and there are also basic things to be active as an adventurer.”
Hearing her talk about the things she learned from Eunhyeon in the past, Alvin put on a puzzled expression.
“Then shouldn’t she just teach him the things she learned from him?”
“What did you learn from Hyuni?”
Erin recalled her memories of her early days when she was being taught by Eunhyun.
– It hurts! My whole body hurts!
– Just one more set and I’ll let you rest.
-That’s already the third time! You liar! Aww!
The times when I endured by eating mustard while shedding tears of blood in order to build a body that was never built on physical strength and the foundation of the body.
“…”
“Is there a problem?”
When Erin’s expression became blatantly unpleasant in real time, Alvin put on a puzzled expression.
“My brother can say that because he has never seen how Hyun-yi trains people.”
“… ?”
She was the same when she taught herself, and when she trained the Armitas knights, she even experienced it right next to her. Couldn’t.
“Still… I appreciate her comments.”
She didn’t have to reproduce exactly everything she had learned from Eun-hyeon.
In particular, what newbies need is not training to build a body, but it is important to give them the experience of building the knowledge or judgment needed for an adventure.
“I’ll go.”
“Okay. Do well so that there are no strange rumors.”
“Don’t even attach useless sagittarius!”
As Erin leaves nursery school, she screams at Alvin.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Hello!”
“Please take good care of me.”
“I look forward to.”
“…”
The outskirts of the castle gate leading out of the territory.
Before being checked by the guards at the checkpoint, the newbie adventurers who were supposed to receive her education bowed at her waist and greeted Erin with a booming voice.
“Uh, yes… That, yes…”
His voice is so energetic that it draws the attention of the people around him.
The newbie adventurers and the guards at the checkpoint who spotted her Erin giggled and shouted at her Erin.
“Hey. Miss! I heard from the Adventurer’s Guild! Now they even take care of training newcomers!?”
“Hey! It’s been a year since I’ve seen you, but you’re already taking care of juniors like that! That’s amazing!”
“No, don’t make fun of me!”
Erin shouted at the guards, who looked at herself with her blushing face and joked about her.
“Kick kick. Hey. Let the newcomers know it with glory. What kind of girl is this girl…”
“Ah! Stop chatting and check it quickly!”
Erin interrupted the guard’s attempt to tease her, and she hurriedly changed her subject.
“Haha! Learn well! Newcomers!”
Perhaps because of Erinn’s fame, her guards’ inspections were quick and simple.
This time, Erin’s quest with the newbies is ‘Subjugate the Goblin Den’, which is a quest for newbies and adventurers of the same rank.
Three days ago, after a party of adventurers accepted the request to subdue the goblin’s lair and left the guild, their whereabouts became unclear.
The adventurer’s guild assigned a party with Erin’s education to this goblin lair subjugation request.
The purpose of this quest is to investigate the activities of the party who left after accepting the quest first, and complete the subjugation of the goblin lair.
The car Erin was immersed in her thoughts, with the distance to her destination, how long it would take, and supplies to replenish by stopping in town along the way.
“Wonderful! How friendly are her guards!”
While leaving her estate and walking towards her place of request, a newbie spoke to Erin with her eyes twinkling.
“That… Run? I’m not sure…”
Erin responded awkwardly to the female newbie with whom she had a surprising affinity, as if she were addressing her close sister.
The relationship with them wasn’t bad, but if you think about it, there were many times when I greeted them from a certain moment, and there were many times when I naturally smiled while having a light conversation.
Her impression of Erin of her checkpoint guards is that they are just mischievous old men who enjoy seeing their own embarrassing or embarrassing appearances.
“Erin! How did Erin-sama become so strong?”
“Me? Hmm… Well…”
Erin couldn’t explain, so she put on a troubled face, then chose to gloss over her.
“Because I met Master well.”
She gave appropriate answers to questions that she had not received once or twice, and glanced back to examine the composition of the party.
The party has a total of four people.
Two warrior-type swordsmen.
One wizard.
One archer.
The battle line is blocked by two swordsmen.
In the middle line, the archers cover the back line of the front line with a full view.
Wizard’s magic that can show strong firepower in the back row.
For a newbie who has just started an adventure, it is a standard and proper composition and position.
Erin guessed that it was probably a combination recommended based on the rules and standards she learned from the adventurer’s guild.
“You are that mercury! Could we meet again?”
At the sudden request of the female newbie carrying her bow on her back, Erin’s head swiveled and her eyes met with the female newbie.
“Hyeon… Master?”
“Yes! I would appreciate it if you could give us some good advice!”
Erin carefully read the female newbie’s emotions as she twisted her own body with her twinkling eyes and acted aegyo.
‘… What. Boy?’
Erin stopped her steps and brought her face closer to her female newbie, who whispered in his ear in a small voice that only she could hear.
“Wake up the dream.”
“What!?”
