Inside the Great Forest Of Tob.
A goblin could be seen fleeing with a desperate expression on his face as if being chased by a monster.
It didn't even dare to look, running away with all of its strength.
Suddenly the goblin's leg got stuck on a tree root making it fall down.
But before the goblin could get back up, a sword flashed and the goblin's head was separated from his body.
Lioro glanced at the dead goblin and then using a knife he cut off the goblin's ear and placed it inside his prop box.
Looking up at the night sky and roughly calculated the time.
About four hours have passed since he started hunting.
He glanced at the number of goblin ears collected inside his prop box.
[Goblin Ear: 124]
The damn forest was too big making it hard for him to find monsters.
He only saw 3 ogres while searching around.
Opening up his pannel, Lioro looked at the experience gained.
[Experience: 2,536/200]
The monsters were hard to find, the damn forest was too large.
'I remember there being a lizardmen village somewhere near where the Great Tomb spawned?'
Unfortunately, he didn't know the location.
Turning his head away from the panel, Lioro raised his sword and looked at it.
Due to continuous usage, the sword has lost its sharpness and become chipped in various places, looking weary.
Putting it back inside the prop box, Lioro looked in the direction of E-rantel.
"It's about time....."
He took out a pair of black clothes and put them on, covering his face and head, only leaving space for eyes.
Then his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving behind the lone corpse of the dead goblin.
----
Inside the Magician's guild.
Trey was sitting behind the counter, looking bored, staring at the entrance of the shop
"Why hasn't he arrived yet? Don't tell me he ran away with the money?....."
Feeling irritated, he took out his notebook from the side and started studying.
He was an aspiring magician apprentice under the guild.
Using his hand he flipped the page.
But just then.
A sword suddenly pierced through his head from behind, ending his life in one go.
『Experience gained: 177』
The sword retracted making Trey fall on the reception, revealing the figure of a cloaked person behind him.
Lioro looked at the dead Trey in silence then moved forward and grabbed his shoulder, moving his body away, revealing the counter.
Using his hand he opened the drawer revealing neatly placed gold, silver, and copper coins within.
Without batting an eye, he placed all of them inside his prop box, then turned back and started looking around the place.
His eyes landed on the various scrolls and some magic items placed inside the cabinet
But instead of taking them out, Lioro silently stared at them, using six eyes he could see an abnormal flow of mana surrounding the cabinet.
'Is it a trap?.....or surveillance?....'
Moving his head he started looking deeply at the entire place.
He noticed several places with the same situation.
His gaze landed on the door leading to the inner area, he sensed no trap from the door.
Silently walking up to the door, he placed his hand on the doorknob and carefully opened it up a little.
The sound of scribbling entered his ears, peeking inside he noticed three men wearing wizard-like robes, writing away at several parchments.
Lioro narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the process.
Suddenly.
[The skill "Scroll Engraving" has been discovered, which requires a general job 'Scroll Scribbler', the current conditions are not met...]
He can learn skills by seeing others perform them?
Another new discovery.
Also, what's a general job?
Is it a non-combat-based job? A production job? He remembers there being some people with a 'Chef' job in The Great Tomb.
Silently closing the door, Lioro looked at the place.
'I'm not leaving these scrolls and magic props behind.'
After breaking the cabinet he will store everything in the prop box and then teleport away before anyone can arrive.
Coming up to the corpse of Trey he placed it inside his inventory.
Then he came in front of the cabinet, grabbed the handle, and opened it up, disturbing the flow of magic around it, and activating the alarm.
With a quick movement, he hurriedly placed all the scrolls and magic props inside his inventory, and then before anyone could arrive he vanished from the spot.
After he was gone, hurried footsteps came from the upper floor of the Magician guild, an old man in a wizard robe came down and looked vigilantly at the place.
But seeing that no one was around, his vigilance quickly turned into confusion.
On the other hand, Lioro who just teleported away has managed to land himself in a particular situation.
Currently, he was tightly covering the mouth of a young man, preventing him from screaming.
Holding him down, Lioro stared at the golden-haired man in confusion.
'I teleported to the alley thinking no one would be around...so just what the hell are you doing here? Nifrea?!?'
It was easy for him to identify this alchemist kid from the series.
As soon as he teleported away from the magician guild, Lioro appeared in front of Nifrea.
His sudden appearance along with his shady clothes made Nifrea shout in surprise, but Lioro managed to stop him just in time.
'Now that I think about it, I could have just teleported away again.....after all my face is covered so he wouldn't know anything.'
So even after understanding this, why was Lioro still holding down Nifrea instead of teleporting away?
Well.
It's because of this sudden prompt that appeared as soon as he touched Nifrea.
『Contact with special dual-basic occupations - Alchemist (genius) and Pharmacist (genius), triggering the conditions for obtaining general occupations.....』
『Triggered the general job 'Genius'.』
[Do you want to take the job?]
'General job? Genius? Wait! Didn't Princess Renner have this class?'
Lioro's mind moved.
'I remember it being a job only available in the new world, and very few selected individuals had it.....'
After thinking for a moment he decided to accept the job.
[The general profession 'Genius' was successfully employed.]
『Note: Due to the particularity of this profession, increasing the level will not increase the basic attributes...』
----
Occupation: "Genius"
Level: General profession.
Introduction: This profession can replace any basic and general profession for learning skills or magic.
----
Lioro was confused.
'Replace any basic or general profession?....'
What the hell does that mean?
And as if answering his question, a screen he saw before appeared before his eyes.
[The skill 'Scroll Engraving' has been discovered, which requires a general job 'Scroll Scribbler', the current conditions are not met...]
["Genius(Scroll Scribbler)" profession has been activated and the transformation has been successful. The learning conditions are met. Do you want to consume 1 skill point to learn it?]
Lioro was taken aback.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to learn the skill.
[Learned skill 'Scroll Engraving', 1 skill point spent.]
Suddenly knowledge about engraving spells of scrolls rushed into Lioro's mind, in an instant he became a master of engraving scrolls, as if he had been working on it for decades.
Several thoughts passed through Lioro's mind, and his gaze on Nifrea became increasingly hot.
'I didn't receive any job notification when I touched the noble, guard, magician, or anyone else, so why did I only receive a job option when touching Nifrea?'
'Is it because Nifrea is a genius? Or were the others simply trash?'
Nifrea suddenly started struggling, trying to break free.
Lioro ignored his resistance and placed a dagger next to Nifrea's eyes.
"Don't move"
Nifrea hurriedly nodded his head seeing the sharp light coming from the dagger right next to his face.
"Shout and I will kill you."
After warning him, Lioro took off his hand covering Nifrea's mouth.
Seeing that he was being obedient and not shouting, Lioro opened up his prop box and took out a familiar scroll from the ones he had just stolen.
[The first-tier magic "Magic Arrow" has been discovered. It requires a basic magician profession and a level requirement of "Level 1-7". The current conditions are not met.....]
["Genius(Magician)" profession has been activated and the transformation has been successful. The learning conditions are met. Do you want to consume 1 skill point to learn it?]
'Yes.'
[Learned skill 'Magic Arrow', 1 skill point spent.]
『Spell: Magic Arrow(1st tier)
MP Consumption: 3 MP
Introduction: Creates an arrow made of mana that will pierce a target.
』
It seems the job 'Genius' can replace all basic and general professions to allow him to learn their skills.
'Nifrea is a pharmacist isn't he?'
"Tell me how to make potions."
Lioro said, placing his dagger on Nifrea's chest.
Nifrea gulped loudly, his eyes shaking in fear.
Seeing Lioro slowly punching the dagger forward he hurriedly said in a trembling voice.
"W-wait! I-I can tell you so please stop!"
Nifrea was just about to continue when an old voice suddenly came from the alley's entrance.
"Lightning."
Along with a sharp light, a bolt of lightning landed straight on Lioro.
"Grandma!"
Nifrea shouted in joy.
"Nifrea get away!"
Listening to her grandma's worried shout shocked Nifrea, but before he could react a hand rushed out and grabbed his neck.
"You! Let go of my grandson!"
Beads of sweat appeared on Lizzie Bareare's face seeing that Lioro was perfectly fine after taking a tier 3 spell head-on.
[The third-tier magic "Lightning" has been discovered. It requires a basic magician profession and a level requirement of "Level 15-21". The current conditions are not met.....]
["Genius(Magician)" profession has been activated, conditions not met. Genius(Magician) is "Level 2", at least level 15 is required to learn tier three magic..... ]
Pulling Nifrea by his neck, Lioro walked towards Lizzie and stopped right in front of her.
Looking at the old woman he said in a plain voice.
"Show me how to make a potion and I will let your grandson go."
"You are after my knowledge? Is that why you captured my grandson?...."
Lizzie said with a hardened look on her face.
"So are you going to teach or not?"
"What if you don't keep your promise after I tell you?....."
"Then how about I just kill you now?"
Lizzie fell silent, looking deeply at Lioro's covered face she sighed before saying.
[The skills "Pharmaceuticals" and "Alchemy" have been discovered, which require general jobs 'Pharmacist' and 'Alchemist', the current conditions are not met...]
[Genius(Alchemist) and Genius(Pharmacist) jobs have been activated and the transformation has been successful. The learning conditions are met. Do you want to consume 2 skill point to learn it?]
Lioro accepted and a huge amount of information about Alchemy and Pharmaceuticals appeared in his brain.
Using a skill point to gain a skill raises it to the highest level, meaning after only listening to two or three lines out of Lizzie Bareare's mouth, his knowledge of Alchemy and Pharmaceuticals surpassed her reaching the highest level.
Seeing that he managed to get what he wanted, Lioro threw Nifrea towards Lizzie and used Gojo's power to teleport away, leaving behind the stunned grandma and grandson.
Not believing her eyes, Lizzie opened her eyes wide and stared in shock at the place Lioro disappeared.
"Teleportation?....."
She muttered in a shocked voice, wondering just what kind of big shot they had gotten themselves entangled with.
"Grandma...."
"Leave! Let's leave quickly! Otherwise, he might change his mind and come back!"
"Yes....yes.."
In a hurry, the Grandson and Grandma duo left the place.
-----
The Great Forest Of Tob.
The space distorted before a black figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Looking around at the empty forest, Lioro calmed himself down and hurriedly pulled up his ability table.

---------------
Lioro looked at the screen in confusion, he remembered when the prompt for learning Lighting spell came, it showed Genius was Level 2? and it needed to be Level 15 to learn tier three spells.
So why was it showing Genius was level 1?
Using his mind he brought opened the panel again.
[The third-tier magic "Lightning" has been discovered. It requires a basic magician profession and a level requirement of "Level 15-21". The current conditions are not met.....]
["Genius(Magician)" profession has been activated, conditions not met. Genius(Magician) is "Level 4", at least level 15 is required to learn tier three magic..... ]
'It's level 4 now?'
Lioro rubbed his eyes and looked at his ability section.
'Genius is still clearly level 1 and I haven't upgraded my class yet so why does it show level 4?...'
'Wait!'
A light bulb lit inside his mind as he stared at the four jobs written inside brackets in Genius job.
Scroll Scribbler, Alchemist, Pharmacist, Magician.
When he received the message to learn 'Lightning(3rd tier)' before he only had Scroll Scribbler and Magician which he got from learning 'Magic Arrow(1st tier)' and 'Scroll Engraving'
But now he has learned Alchemy and Pharmaceuticals as well.
'Is it a multiplier based on the professions inside Genius?'
A sharp light passed through Lioro's eyes.
'A 10th tier spell can be learned from level 63, so if I had genius at level 7 with 9 such jobs, I will be able to learn tier 10th spell? and not just of a single system but tier 10 spells of multiple systems like faith, necromancy, druid, etc?'
Things were getting crazier.
Controlling his hurting brain, Lioro took out the sword from his prop box.
He decided to kill some monsters to calm his mind before leaving.
