I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 114

114fury

The reason Abel recognized Revaltz at a glance was simple..

Because it was almost identical to the description in the game..

‘The illustrations felt a little rougher, though..’

Since it is an illustration and not a photo, it was natural that there would be some differences..

“Hmm.”

Revaltz looked at Abel with a strange smile..

It was a gaze that could feel burdensome to some people, but Abel didn't pay much attention to it..

Because there was a separate corner of interest..

‘No one is looking this way.’

Revaltz's appearance was so unique that he could be seen from afar..

Basically, the eyepatch itself was not common, and the bulky muscular body was comparable to that of a cowl..

Considering that he was an outsider, it was enough for the cadets to be interested even if they did not know his identity..

However, none of the cadets in the training room paid any attention to Revaltz..

Even those who were practicing nearby did the same..

It wasn't like I had any guesses..

‘Is this the vice-captain’s ability?.’

Revaltz's in-game name was 'Silent Judge'.

Although it is a rather grandiose name, no one objected to it..

The vision and overwhelming skills passed down through his family were something everyone could recognize..

When my thoughts reached that point, Levaltz spoke again..

“It's as impressive as I heard..”

Abel thought for a moment about what to say, then cautiously opened his mouth..

“……Is that so?”

“okay. Not many people know who I am and can keep their cool when faced with something like this..”

After saying that, Revaltz straightened his body from where it had been leaning against the wall and continued speaking..

“There is nothing more important than the basics. If you work hard consistently, it will definitely be of great help to you in the future..”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“okay. Well then, I'll see you later..”

As if he had finished speaking, Levaltz walked away before hearing the answer..

Strangely, no one paid attention to him until he left the training ground..

‘It's more than just killing me, it feels like I don't exist at all..’

Abel was also completely unaware of Revaltz's presence until he spoke to him directly..

Even though I was standing against the wall right next to me..

But Abel knew that wasn't all.

‘What's even more surprising is that such abilities can be maintained while fighting..’

That's why he was called the silent judge..

Revaltz was able to display similar, if not greater, abilities even while riding the Gigant..

Imagining an invisible enemy attacking in a chaotic battlefield was enough to send shivers down my spine..

The only consolation was that there was no need to turn a person like that into an enemy..

“Abel! I felt a little relieved.?”

At that time, Daniel came and spoke to me..

Abel said, lowering his training sword..

“Didn't you see anyone earlier??”

“huh? who? Who came and went?”

“no.”

Apparently, he was also completely unaware of Revaltz's presence..

Abel raised his sword again and said.

“Let’s spar. Since there isn't much time left, it's a one-shot match..”

“okay!”

Daniel quickly forgot the conversation just now and excitedly raised his sword..

The morning training time passed quickly like that..

*       *       *

Cadets were huddled together on the wide open land..

They talked as if they were very excited..

The instructors, who would normally have paid attention to him, did not touch him this time..

“When are you going to start??”

“well. won't it come soon?”

Abel answered Henna’s question appropriately..

Henna and other cadets were also excited..

It was a worthy situation..

This is because the Gryphon Knights will soon appear riding Gigants..

Of course, Abel also felt the same sense of anticipation..

‘I'm looking forward to it.’

In fact, it was only natural that the affection for Gigant was unrivaled compared to others..

Because my interest in Gigant itself was greater than my admiration for Gigant Rider..

‘All of the Gigantes of the Gryphon Knights were Kenturio level or higher. The vice-captain's is Militum, and the leader's is Custom Gigant..’

Militum is the highest level aircraft in the general-purpose system..

The order was Tito, Miles, Centurio, and Militum, but in fact, even if it were an empire at the Militum level, there were not that many of them..

There was no need to mention the custom aircraft..

‘Even though it is a custom aircraft, it is not the best grade Gigant..’

In other countries, it was common to modify Centurio or even Miles-class Gigants and call them custom aircraft..

Of course, it performed better than the basic grade..

However, in the Empire, aircraft with performance above Militum class were generally called custom aircraft..

In other words, it is actually one of the strongest aircraft in existence..

Even in the Empire, the number of custom aircraft did not exceed 10..

‘Things will be a little different in the future, but.’

The peaceful era will soon end.

The resulting wind of change will change everything in an instant..

It wasn't a story about right now, right now, at this moment..

Cooung, cooung.-!

It was the sound of the ground shaking that woke Abel from his thoughts..

Abel reflexively turned his head towards the source of the sound..

“Wow…….”

Abel exclaimed in admiration without realizing it..

The source of the sound was a huge Gigant walking towards us..

The Gigant that was walking in front was stronger, bigger, and more beautiful than any aircraft I had ever seen..

The silver body was thick and angular overall..

But if it felt dull, it definitely wasn't..

‘It's like a beast trapped in a cage.’

If the time comes, it's a beast that will come out and attack us right away..

That was Abel's first impression..

Each joint moved incredibly smoothly, but the movements of the arms and legs were angled with precision..

It was evidence that both the completeness of the aircraft and the skill of the rider were close to perfection..

A pattern symbolizing a griffon was engraved on Gigant's chest..

‘It's probably not just a simple pattern, there's magic engraved there too..’

Boom, boom-!

A series of other Gigants walked behind the leader's Gigant..

To the right of the leader, there is a Militum that appears to belong to Vice-Captain Revaltz..

On the other side was a Kenturio-class Gigant..

‘It's huge..’

1 custom aircraft. Militum Stage 1.

Kenturio 8th generation.

It was truly an incredible amount of power..

Even more so when you consider that the riders riding it are among the best in the empire..

‘It would be powerful enough to easily push aside a small principality or a small kingdom..’

It was even more surprising considering that the Gryphon Knights were one of the three knightly orders of the imperial family..

Of course, not all knights had the same power as the Gryphon Knights..

Unlike Gryphon, other knights do not select only Gigant Riders..

However, it does not mean that the power decreases drastically..

Cooung, cooung, boom!

Soon all the Gigants stopped..

The distance between the cadets and the Gigant was quite far, but it was so large that it was not difficult to see..

Abel stared at the sight as if he could engrave it in his eyes..

“Everyone, shut your mouth. Go to Paris.”

In a highly charged atmosphere, Cawl suddenly spoke and stood in front..

“The Gryphon Knights came here for your growing sprouts. So, never do anything rude and just be quiet. Do you understand??”

“yes-!”

“good. Well then, first sit quietly and watch..”

After saying that much, Kaul took a step back to the side..

There was no need to ask what to watch..

As soon as he retreated, a Gigant stepped forward..

Cooung-!

Gigant, who was holding a long spear, widened his distance from the other knights and took a stance..

It was an imperial spear technique that cadets also learned during lectures, but for some reason I felt a strong sense of intimidation..

Even though it is clearly the same spear technique, it feels completely different..

thud!

The feeling became stronger as the Gigant began to move..

Starting with the spear slightly forward, Gigant turned the spear one large turn..

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

A long spear passed through the air and struck forward at high speed..

Hwii profit!

Even though there was clearly nothing in front of him, the cadets felt that Gigant was fighting an invisible enemy..

Cooung-!

Gigant swung his spear again and again without stopping..

Abel focused on the movement of the gigant itself rather than the spear technique..

‘It's incredibly soft.’

As if some kind of magic had been performed on the joints, the movements were on a completely different level..

It almost feels like a giant person moving around wearing armor, not a Gigant..

Huh!

Gigant swung his spear a few more times and then quickly returned to his original position..

Cooung-!

Next, Gigant, this time holding a blunt weapon, stepped forward..

He also demonstrated the weapon skills taught at the academy, and once again, admiration erupted from everywhere..

Abel watched as if fascinated..

The knights demonstrated their weapons skills a total of five times, and each one was a precious time for Abel..

The demonstration of a knight using a huge sword was especially impressive..

Although it was very different from what Abel was learning, it could be said that it served as a reference in many ways..

‘I'll have to try this out during training tonight..’

I somehow felt like my body was heating up..

It was after the weapons demonstration was over that Cawl came out again..

“Now, it's the next turn. Those whose names were called should come forward..”

Cowl continued his story quickly, as if there was not much time..

“Abel. may. shallot. Luke. Iolin.”

After hearing their names called, all cadets realized what their turn was next..

This was because it exactly matched the number of people selected in the special map announced earlier..

Abel immediately got up from his seat and went to stand in front of Kaul..

“Now, you five go over to where the Gigants are lying on the right and get into your aircraft..”

“yes!”

The place Cowl pointed to was not far away..

Abel walked quickly with the other cadets toward the place where Gigant was lying..

Normally, we would have exchanged a word or two as we went, but everyone kept their mouths shut..

I could tell that everyone was nervous just by looking at their faces..

‘I'm a little nervous.’

Although Abel was quite courageous, it was difficult for him to remain calm even in moments like these..

Isn’t this an opportunity to receive brief guidance from knights who can be said to be the pinnacle of the empire?.

It was natural for my heart to explode with anticipation and excitement..

‘Who will guide me?.’

It was good to receive guidance from the captain or vice-captain, or it was also good to be a knight who used a large sword..

Actually, it didn't matter who I received guidance from..

There wasn't a single rider among me who wasn't outstanding..

“It's here-!”

When we reached our destination, the instructors waiting there waved their hands and shouted..

“Now, everyone will know what their Gigant is at a glance, right? There's no time, so get on right away. Because the maintenance has already been completed.”

“yes!”

“All right!”

Abel went to his Gigant without delay..

Unlike the usual lectures, Abel's personal aircraft, Lupus, was lying in the middle..

Abel immediately climbed up the ladder, entered the cockpit, and lay down..

Wow-.

As soon as I placed my hand on the core, I heard a voice..

-Abel. What are the unusual energies nearby??

It was Rufus' voice..

From the looks of it, it seemed like he had sensed the energy of the knights for a while and was on guard..

Abel briefly explained the current situation to Rufus..

-Ah, something like that. They are the imperial knights..

Rufus answered with a voice full of strange emotion, but then fell silent..

Instead of saying anything more, Abel focused on waking up Gigant..

Cooung-!

It didn't take that long to get the aircraft fully operational and up..

The other cadets also woke up after a few seconds, and under the instructor's control, they headed to where the knights' gigant was waiting..

And when I arrived in front of it.

-Cadet Abel. See you again.

A familiar voice was heard from the gigant in front of Abel..

It was Vice-Captain Revaltz's voice..
