I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 113
113fury
The news that the Gryphon Knights were visiting spread quickly..
If it was natural, it was natural. This is because the weight of the name Gryphon Knights was enormous..
At least for the academy's cadets, he was the most envied object..
While we were talking after dinner, Daniel heard that and said in a puzzled voice:.
“What exactly is so special about the Gryphon Knights??”
“You really don't know?”
“I don't know so I'll ask!”
Henna shook her head and said.
“The Gryphon Knights have the shortest history. It's been less than twenty years. Considering that other knightly orders have existed since the early days of the empire, this is a very big gap..”
“That's right.”
“But there is a reason why it has such a short history..”
Henna said with a serious expression.
“The Gryphon Knights are the only group made primarily of Gigant Riders..”
“oh… … . But in other places, not all knights are Gigant Riders anymore.?”
“That's true, but it feels completely different. In fact, there is no place that treats Gigant Riders as well as the Gryphon Knights..”
It was as she said..
In other places, I saw many aspects other than just his skills as a gigantic rider..
Being proud of the history of the Knights Templar.
“So the place that cadets who graduated from the academy most want to go is the Gryphon Knights..”
“Hmm. If possible, I want to go to the punitive force..”
“Well, the story is different when you think about the punitive force, but it still remains the most attractive option among the knights..”
“That's right.”
As their conversation was almost over, Darin cautiously opened his mouth..
“Then we are lucky.”
“huh?”
“Well, the knights usually come in turns. This time it was the Gryphon Knights' turn..”
“Oh, that's right.”
Henna shook her head..
Meanwhile, Abel thought while listening to the conversation.
‘The leader of the Gryphon Knights was truly a monster..’
The leader of the Gryphon Knights played a very important role in the game..
Because he is one of the three great Gigant Riders of the Empire..
Among the academy members, Vice Principal Fleta, who goes by the title Baekun, is also a great rider, but she is not in active duty..
So, if you think about it, this was my first time seeing a monster rider in active play..
‘I'm looking forward to it.’
I wasn't very interested in the Gryphon Knights themselves, but I was very excited to see the leader..
‘The vice-captain is not as good as the leader, but he is quite outstanding. Also, among the units…….’
While I was reviewing each and every piece of information about the Gryphon Knights in my head, the topic of conversation had changed to something else..
“But I don't think the lectures are at the level where it's really hard yet..”
Those were Daniel's words..
The other cadets all shook their heads as if they were thinking the same thing..
“I think it has become a little more difficult, but I originally said that the difficulty of the lectures would increase significantly in the second semester.?”
“yes. My seniors used to scare me a lot with that..”
But before the conversation continued for a long time. The restaurant's door burst open and someone walked in..
It was the dormitory director..
She slowly walked in, glanced at the cadets in the cafeteria, and then opened her mouth..
“I hope everyone takes note.”
She gathered everyone's attention, raised a piece of paper and said.
“This is a piece of paper with information related to the events of the Knights' visit this Thursday. The same information has been posted on the bulletin board at the entrance, so please check it as soon as everyone has finished eating. Do you understand?”
“yes-!”
“If there are any cadets who have already been to the training center but did not receive the notice, please let them know separately..”
The housemaster said that and left the restaurant..
“Let's go.”
As soon as she disappeared, Daniel stood up and said:.
Since everyone had already finished eating, everyone followed suit with their empty plates..
After returning the plate, I went to the entrance and saw several cadets already standing in front of the bulletin board..
Abel squeezed in between them and looked at the bulletin board..
There were several sheets of paper that the housemaster had mentioned..
[Gryphon Knights visit event.]
[The Gryphon Knights are scheduled to visit the Academy this Thursday. When visiting…….]
The content written on the paper was quite long, but there was little important information..
“special map?”
someone said out loud.
That's exactly what Abel noticed.
The Gryphon Knights, who are visiting the academy this time, were originally planning to gather first-year cadets and give a brief lecture before returning..
However, at the strong request of the knight commander, 'special guidance' time was added..
Abel took a step back after seeing everything in his eyes..
Soon after, the other children came near Abel and opened their mouths, as if they had finished checking the contents..
“They say anyone can apply.?”
“If you are lucky, you can receive guidance directly from the knight commander..”
Henna and Daniel said a word in excited voices..
As he said, special guidance is provided by selecting a few people from among the applicants..
There were no separate application qualifications, and any first-year cadet could apply..
It was also said that only 5 people will be selected, but they will not be selected in order of grades..
“I'm going to do it?”
“of course.”
Henna and Daniel exchanged glances again and nodded..
Darin, who would normally timidly keep his mouth shut, also had a twinkle in his eye..
“I want to apply too.”
“me too.”
Even May said something..
It was surprising that May seemed interested as well, but it was something to keep everyone motivated..
This is an opportunity to receive direct instruction from a member of the Gryphon Knights, the envy of all Gigant Riders..
‘The instructors at the academy are all current and former riders.…….’
I had no choice but to feel the weight differently..
Because you will listen to instructors' lectures ad nauseam throughout your time at the academy..
“Abel are you?”
At that time, Henna asked a question.
Abel answered briefly:.
“Of course I support it too..”
“Then we are competitors.”
Daniel said with a serious expression. No, it wasn't just Daniel..
“In fact, it is the strongest competitor…….”
“Umm. Wouldn’t it be better to leave Abel out of the discussion altogether??”
“I think that would make me feel at ease.”
Abel was about to say something but shook his head..
“I'm going to go train..”
Anyway, I was told that I could apply for the application by telling the instructor during the first lecture tomorrow, so there was nothing I needed to do today..
As Abel said that and walked away, the other children followed suit, each saying a word..
“me too!”
“I want to go too!”
For some reason, he seemed more motivated than usual..
* * *
Acceptance of applicants took place as scheduled during the first lecture on Tuesday..
“Now, raise your hand if you would like to apply..”
When the instructor said that, not a single person raised their hand..
I heard later that it was the same for other classes as well..
The announcement of the selection was on Thursday morning..
Everyone was desperately concentrating on the lecture for fear that it would affect the selection results, but they could not hide their anticipation..
As time passed, Thursday morning.
As breakfast time neared its end, a paper was posted on the bulletin board in the foyer..
It was a piece of paper with a list of selected personnel written on it..
Abel, who had just finished eating, checked the paper and thought to himself..
‘I was selected.’
Fourth on the list. Abel's name was written there..
Since they were never told exactly under what conditions they would be selected, Abel also checked with other people..
‘Luke, Charlotte, Iolin and May.’
3 people from the Black Lion class. There were two people in the white eagle class..
“I don't have any…….”
“me too.”
After checking the list, Henna and Daniel muttered in gloomy voices..
On the other hand, May was just glaring..
After standing there for a while, I felt envious and jealous looks coming at me..
“Wow! I have a name too, Rihanna.!”
At that time, Charlotte's voice was heard from the other side..
Charlotte was happy as she gave Ryan, who was standing right next to her, a pat on the shoulder..
Lian, who looked a bit timid, was shaken violently by Charlotte's punch..
“also. There's no way I wouldn't be selected.”
I turned my head slightly and saw Luke raising his chin and talking..
Victor and Letton were standing next to him..
Even though Retton was split in half, he still seemed to call himself Luke's subordinate..
I was shaking my head hard while listening to Luke talking..
“Let's go to the training ground first..”
“okay.”
Abel headed to the training ground with his depressed friends in tow..
Daniel muttered on the way to the training ground..
“What are the selection criteria??”
“well. I don't think it's just grades..”
“That's right.”
Abel and Iolin were, if you were to be honest, senior and junior, but it was ambiguous to say that the other three were clearly at the top..
However, it was not because of their status that they were selected..
Because Abel, May, and Charlotte are commoners..
May, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, opened her mouth..
“Was it chosen by the knights??”
“From the Templars? why”
Darin pricked up his ears and asked back..
“Because there doesn’t seem to be any standard..”
After hearing that, everyone shook their heads as if it was plausible..
“but. That could be it..”
“If we say that the cadets for special instruction were selected directly by the Knights rather than by the Academy, there would be no noise..”
“It's just a guess.”
May dismissed it like that, but everyone continued talking about that topic for a long time..
Abel listened to the story for a while and then brought a training sword..
“Abel, I want to spar.?”
“Relax your body first.”
Abel responded to Daniel's suggestion and stood to one side and slowly swung his sword..
I haven't been able to see Carlton since I went to Red Hall because I was concentrating on recovery, but I was training steadily..
In particular, I never missed a day of vertical or horizontal cutting..
‘The basics are definitely important..’
Originally, I thought that you had to have good basic skills to fight well, but after visiting Red Hall, that thought became even more firm..
Abel cut down with his sword from top to bottom..
‘Being able to wield a certain force and a certain path without being conscious of it is great power in itself..’
No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired and painful it is
The body moves according to familiar habits..
This was something I realized greatly while experiencing all kinds of battles in Red Hall..
In the future, there is talk of breaking away from that familiar framework, but that was still a long way off for Abel..
That's a problem that needs to be considered only after reaching a certain level of maturity..
For now, I'm only doing horizontal and vertical cuts, but I'll try to get my body used to more diverse sword techniques in the future..
whistling-!
Abel swung his sword again and again without hesitation..
By the time I swung it over 500 times.
“The basics are pretty solid..”
An unfamiliar voice pierced my ears..
Abel did not stop swinging his sword, but only slightly moved his eyes..
Then I immediately saw someone leaning against a wall not far away..
It was the first time I saw him.
“Whoop.”
Abel belatedly stopped swinging his sword and turned towards him..
“thank you.”
“Thank you. I just said what I saw..”
The man who spoke was quite muscular and had an eyepatch over one eye..
The moment Abel saw that, a name came to mind and he immediately opened his mouth..
“It is an honor to meet you, Lord Revaltz..”
“Hoo. know me?”
“yes.”
Dale de Lewaltz.
“I am familiar with the title of Deputy Commander Revaltz..”
He was the deputy commander of the Gryphon Knights..
