I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 108
108fury
Three men were sitting across from each other at a wide table..
Abel looked at the men sitting across from him..
Gregory, Commander of the Earth Knights.
Revan de Valheim of the Knights of Valheim.
I was able to hear directly from Levon why the two, who seemed to be unrelated, came together..
“In the past, when I was briefly serving in the imperial punitive force, I received a lot of teachings from Sir Gregory. So, I visit you often like this..”
imperial punitive force.
I was immediately able to understand what he said..
This is because it was a place where knights who wanted to build performance and reputation passed through at least once..
Additionally, the practical experience gained from dealing with the giant and its fragments was a bonus..
‘Sir Gregory's reputation is largely due to his performance in the punitive force..’
Gregory, the head of the Earth Knights, was someone Abel knew well..
Speaking of Ironclad Gregory, he is a famous person that few people know about..
Gregory waited for Levon to finish speaking and then slowly opened his mouth..
“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the entire Order..”
He said with utmost gratitude.
“At that time, the main force of the Knights, including me, was tracking the person walking in the fog. I never would have guessed that all the remaining forces would attack in the meantime..”
“okay.”
Abel nodded..
The one who walks in the fog was none other than the nickname of the giant that Abel had seen..
The surprising fact was that this was not the first time that the giant had appeared here..
7The One Who Walks in the Fog, who appeared once a year and four years ago, also caused great damage back then..
However, it was said that this was the first time that different giants or fragments of giants were activated at the same time like this..
That was why Gregory and his subordinates chased the giant..
After explaining the circumstances to some extent, Gregory finally lowered his head and spoke..
“If it had not been for the help of Abel's cadets and mercenaries, in the worst case scenario, the Colossus and its fragments could have trampled the empire's territory. Thank you so much.”
“no. 'Cause he just did what he had to do.”
Abel said in a calm voice..
It was of course a lie to say that this was done without any self-interest, but the reward offered by the knights was already excellent..
Not only did it provide money for repairs to Abel and other mercenaries' gigants and equipment, but it also provided generous rewards..
In addition, receiving the giant's body in its entirety was also very significant..
In fact, Abel achieved results that exceeded his expectations..
In particular, the 'intangible' results gained after defeating the giant were more than enough to replace all other losses..
Gregory looked at Abel with sparkling eyes and opened his mouth..
“We have provided a detailed report to the Academy regarding this assistance. But other than that, I want to repay you..”
“Do you mean repayment??”
Gregory nodded and took out a metal item with the family seal from his pocket and handed it to him..
“From what I heard earlier, there is nothing else you want, but if you need help in any way in the future, please contact me..”
“Oh, thank you.”
Abel did not reject it but accepted it..
It was a kind of revenge card..
It's not that it has any legal effect or anything like that, but if you disobeyed the words that were said under the family seal, you were likely to be criticized..
For nobles for whom honor was important, being pointed at was an intolerable shame..
‘What an unexpected benefit..’
If it is a knight who is close to being a master and a gift given by a noble from an influential family, it is a treasure that needs no doubt..
After Gregory finished speaking,.
Revan cautiously opened his mouth again..
“The reason I came here with Sir Gregory is to make a suggestion..”
“Do you mean offer??”
“yes. Do you know about a group called Iron Knights??”
“I know the name because I heard it..”
Abel answered without difficulty.
The Iron Knights were, simply put, a type of social group..
However, what was unique was that most of its members were Gigant Riders or academy cadets..
Naturally, it was an organization whose name appeared several times in games centered around the academy, and there were also episodes that appeared with some significance..
“If so, the story will be quick. I would like to invite you to Iron Knight.”
“Do you mean me?”
Abel was surprised by the unexpected words and asked back..
Iron Knight was a very closed group, and each member was a prominent figure..
Levon answered calmly..
“yes. Members have the right to invite one other person. I would like to use that authority to Abel..”
Abel was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say..
Revan said with a slight smile, as if he interpreted it in a different way..
“I didn't expect an answer right away. If you have any thoughts, I will send someone separately at the next meeting..”
“yes. All right.”
After finishing the invitation, Levon looked at Gregory, who nodded slightly and stood up..
“I guess I've been holding on too long. I hope you have a safe journey back..”
“I hope the road ahead is filled with peace..”
“Ah yes. thank you.”
The two exchanged a few more well-wishes and left the room together..
Abel pondered the gratitude card in his hand and Levon’s invitation, then walked to one side..
‘I'll have to take my time and think about it on the way back..’
Both were important things, but Abel's interests were currently focused elsewhere..
This was the message that came to mind while defeating the titan..
It was a message that came to mind a few days ago, but you can still see its contents by manipulating the status window..
[Sentences are responsive.]
[Absorbs some of the abilities of the giant 'The One Who Looks Down'.]
[Control power increases significantly.]
[Acquired the skill ‘Giant’s Vision’.]
one who looks down.
That was the name of the giant that Abel defeated..
The giant's vision obtained this time was a fairly unique skill..
Abel tried lightly activating the giant's vision to get used to the skill..
Sooooo-.
Then a group of lights came together on his forehead and his vision changed in an instant..
Abel's body was visible as if he was looking at it from a third person's perspective..
As I concentrated a little more, I was able to see the entire building from that high up..
Abel thought as he adjusted his abilities again and returned his vision to its original state..
‘What a skill..’
This was what I thought from the first time I used the skill..
The uses of this skill will be endless..
Basically, when you fight on the battlefield, your field of vision becomes narrow..
This is because it is difficult to leisurely observe other places when the enemy is right in front of you..
Not to mention large-scale battles..
However, if you use this skill, you can get a wide view of the entire battlefield as if you were playing a game..
‘If you ever have to command, the effectiveness of this skill will be truly enormous..’
It goes without saying, but the academy's curriculum included many small-scale conducting assignments..
In other words, there were many opportunities to properly utilize this skill..
Abel nodded in satisfaction and then looked at another row..
Actually, it was this rather than the skill that I was concerned about..
‘It's control.’
It wasn't a word I didn't know at all..
However, if you know the details, that was not the case..
‘This is definitely not an official stat.’
Abel stroked his chin..
Official stats simply refer to what is displayed in the status window..
horsepower. Tuning rate and things like that..
Unlike those stats, control was just a rumor going around among users that something like this exists..
For example, A and B have the same stats, but there is a big difference when you see them in action..
Even though C clearly has an advantage over D in terms of stats, he has far more losses in terms of overall record..
So most users thought that there would be invisible stats other than the status window..
Control was the most famous of them all, and its meaning was simple..
‘Influence. momentum. Something like that.’
Isn’t there a common saying that if you start with the momentum pressed down, you won’t be able to fight properly?.
That was the moment I encountered the person walking through the fog..
When I saw that giant, even though I was far away, my mind instantly turned blank..
Simply put, control could be summarized as an individual's influence on those around him..
“But that was mentioned in the message..”
The fact that control had increased significantly meant that the stat was there, of course..
“Surprisingly, this could also be quite a variable.…….”
Naturally, methods to increase control were also studied among users..
Abel also studied it with personal interest..
After waking up here, I forgot about it because I couldn't afford to invest in things I wasn't sure about..
‘I guess I'll have to take the time to try this too..’
Coincidentally, there were quite a few things within the system that could have a significant impact on control..
Abel sat on the bed and continued to worry about this and that for a while..
smart-.
At that time, there was a knock on the door..
Next, a voice was heard announcing that the ride back was ready..
Abel took his few belongings and walked away..
* * *
After returning to the system, Abel had a hectic time..
First, we had to meet with the jackal to pay the outstanding balance and share the loot..
I had to meet with Deborah and let her know that I had returned safely and hand over the data..
Even after returning to the academy, I couldn't rest..
This is because those who returned earlier were waiting for Abel..
“There are three giants?”
“There were only two that I encountered in person. Even there, I only faced one..”
“still! Wow, is this okay? There is no injury anywhere?”
Hearing Hena's worried words, Abel waved his hand and said,.
“It's totally fine. There is nothing wrong at all.”
“Really, what were you thinking? It was dangerous!”
“Because it looked dangerous there too.”
Henna frowned again at Abel's calm tone..
Fortunately, Daniel intervened next to her before she could continue nagging again..
“How was the titan you faced??”
“It was incredibly strong.”
“Of course he must have been strong. Not like that. What kind of guy was he specifically??”
Daniel's eyes were very bright..
Looking to the side, Henna and Iolin had similar expressions..
‘I'm at an age where I'm really interested in things like this..’
What can you do?.
Abel sighed and explained in detail..
“When I first saw it, I thought it was a physical specialty. I was taking the attack from the magic artillery battery with my body..”
“Magical artillery? How many are there??”
“at least 20 questions?”
“Hehe! It's a real monster.”
Henna, who knew the power of the Magic Terror Cannon better than anyone else, muttered with a pale face..
Abel nodded..
“yes. But as we were fighting, a shock wave suddenly came. It was the one that paralyzed my senses.…….”
As Abel continued to speak, the others naturally shut their mouths and listened..
At the last moment, the Valheim Knights appeared and threw their spears, and everyone was amazed when Abel described the moment when he delivered the final blow..
“Wow. In the end, you finished it.?”
“Aren’t you scared? Honestly, I think I wanted to run away..”
“That's amazing.”
After hearing everyone say one thing at a time, Abel shook his head..
“If I had fought alone, I would have definitely lost. The real titan is a titan.”
“still!”
“no way. Enough talk about this, how was everyone on vacation??”
Abel hastily changed the topic..
Everyone was talking about various things about him. However, as the conversation continued for a while, Iolin told me some surprising news..
“I heard they are merging the classes into two this time..”
