I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 117
117fury
“If things continue like this, there will continue to be a shortage of power, and there is nothing we can do to supplement it..”
Magnus nodded at the leader’s words..
“Of course, I have no intention of pushing you into an absurdly dangerous battlefield..”
“yes. I know that too.”
Even excluding the original giant problem, it was a given that demand for Gigant Riders would increase in the future..
The number of giants and their fragments continues to increase..
Because the trends in other countries were also unusual..
“They will continue to recruit troops in other directions as well.?”
“yes. Conditions have been relaxed to increase the number of Tito riders. In addition, the military is also pursuing 'promotions' for active-duty Tito riders..”
“I guess so. Because now is not the time to be reckless.”
Magnus nodded in satisfaction..
Fortunately, the empire was responding flexibly to the threats it faced..
If he hadn't done that, Magnus would have trembled with incomparable anxiety..
Fear that the empire might fall.
“So in what direction are you planning to deploy the cadets??”
“4The school year has already headed to the southern front. The same goes for third grade. And the 1st and 2nd years…….”
Magnus paused for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“will head north.”
“To the north??”
“okay. They say things that couldn't be processed are coming down little by little from across the border..”
The leader thought for a moment and nodded..
“It's not a bad stage..”
“Not bad.”
There was a short silence after that..
Magnus only opened his mouth after a while..
“You've been holding on to a busy person for too long. Wake up slowly.”
“All right.”
When Magnus stood up, the others followed suit..
Before the leader opened the door and left, Magnus spoke for the last time..
“I might send some cadets your way later..”
“I'm looking forward to it.”
“okay.”
So they said a short goodbye and parted ways..
“I'll just go too.”
“I know.”
After Kaul left, Magnus returned to his original position and looked at the documents placed on the table..
[1Practical placement plan for first-year students]
“Hmm.”
Soon he picked up his pen and signed the bottom of the document..

2The first week of the semester passed by in a hectic manner..
The lectures were much more intense than before, and I couldn't relax even on the weekends..
This was because everyone was so inspired by the speech that they stayed in the training room all day..
It's not easy to muster the courage to be alone in such an atmosphere..
Even May came to the training ground and trained..
The atmosphere was similar next week..
The lecture, which began in earnest, pushed the cadets to their limits even more than before..
Even though they were exhausted, the cadets did not neglect training..
In the past, it was a difficult schedule that would have made everyone hold their tongues, but everyone endured it surprisingly well..
Perhaps it also played a role in the fact that everyone who was leaving had already left and only those who were fully prepared were left..
So, the second week of the second semester is coming to an end. News was delivered to the cadets..
-Lectures will be replaced with practical training on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays of the next week..
Training.
1It is a word used with a slightly different meaning than during the semester..
2They said that starting from the semester, practical training will be replaced by actual field work..
In other words, it was the first time heading to a real battlefield..
The evening I received the news.
At the dinner table, Abel opened his mouth in an atmosphere of subtle tension..
“Even though it's a battlefield, you're not fighting against the same Gigant..”
“Well, that's right.”
Henna nodded..
Even if it's a battlefield, it's not humans who are fighting, but giant gods and their fragments..
Of course, they are pickier than humans..
But hunting monsters and killing humans are two very different things..
Daniel, who had been silently stuffing bread into his mouth, finally opened his mouth to see if he had swallowed it all..
“But the weight is different.?”
“That too.”
Henna nodded again..
“Somehow I won't die... … Because there is no guarantee that.”
“It's true that it's scary. i think so too.”
Abel said calmly.
There were some accidents during the last training session, but those were just accidents..
In fact, we paid utmost attention to the safety of the cadets..
But it's different starting this semester..
If the cadets before were like birds in a cage, now they have to fly up into the sky and hunt..
To become a Gigant Rider rather than a cadet.
“But this time, why don't you tell me where you're going??”
Just as the mood was about to calm down, Daniel brought up another topic..
Henna immediately opened her mouth as if she was curious about those words..
“I know. Even if I asked the instructors, they wouldn't tell me.?”
“Because of what happened last time... … It's not like that?”
May said in a drowsy tone.
These days, the number of times he dozes off has decreased a lot, but his distinctive drowsy voice still remains..
His eyes are slightly drowsy, as if he is trying to suppress drowsiness..
“last time?”
“huh… … . accident during practice.”
“ah!”
“That's right.”
Henna and Daniel nodded almost simultaneously..
It was a known fact that something unpleasant happened during the last training session..
Abel also added a few words..
“As May said, it is highly likely that they are afraid of information leaking somewhere..”
Unfortunately, Abel didn't know where this practice location was..
One of the things I've always regretted since I woke up here.
There were too many random, random events in this game.
‘I know the candidates, but where and when I go is completely random..’
Still, after considering various conditions, I was able to narrow it down to three places..
The level of the cadets, the surrounding situation, things like that..
‘Northern Delcan Mountains. Southern entrance plain area. eastern highlands.’
These are the candidates Abel is currently thinking about..
‘If possible, the northern Delcan Mountains would be better..’
In terms of risk, the plains at the southern entrance would be the safest..
Even though it is the most backward area in the south, there are a lot of troops deployed there..
But there was no advantage other than safety..
There was nothing to gain and it was difficult to gain any real experience..
I guess it could be said that the significance of just being near a battlefield is the end of it..
‘So it is more likely.’
Abel scratched his chin..
The other two places were similar. But it was clear that the Delcan Mountains were a better place to gain experience..
There are other things to gain as well.
“Let's go to training soon.”
While I was lost in thought for a moment, everyone got up one by one to see if they had finished eating..
Abel had already finished his meal, so he put his thoughts aside and got up along with him..
After arriving at the training ground, it was like any other time..
Swing the sword like you learned from Carlton.
Recalling the guidance I received from the vice-captain, I tried various things..
While sparring with others, I taught Iolin how to use magic power..
A day passed like that and the next day.
Kaul, who gave the first lecture in the morning, said.
“Today I'm going to do something a little different..”
Recently, Instructor Kaul's lectures were focused on sparring..
But I could tell even before the lecture started that I was going to do something different today..
First of all, the lecture hall itself was different..
I started teaching in a much larger space than usual..
“This is a lecture to prepare for this week's practical training, but in fact, it was something I had to do at least once even if it wasn't necessarily for this practical training..”
“What kind of lecture is it??”
In response to someone's question, Kaul glanced at the cadets and opened his mouth..
“I'm going to decide your positions..”
“Position?”
“okay. Defense side defense. If it's an attack, it's an attack. Far away is far away. Those kinds of positions..”
Cawl crossed his arms and continued speaking..
“Of course, such a position is not officially organized. But it is true that formations are formed using such classifications. Because it's efficient.”
It was just as he said..
Those who specialize in defense continue to receive training in that area, while those on the offensive side also train intensively in that area..
Of course, specializing in defense does not mean that you only learn how to block..
It's just a matter of focusing more on one side..
“The reason for classifying such positions is because, unlike the military, riders often fight in small groups..”
Users categorized the positions as tank, dealer, and ranged..
If we break it down a little further, we categorized tanks as extreme tanks and evasive tanks, but there is no need for such detailed classification now..
“So how do you classify it??”
“okay. I was going to talk about that now. First of all, let's start by talking about your preferred position..”
Cawl said, stepping back slightly..
“The left side of me is defense. Attack in the middle. The one on the far right is far away. Stand like this.”
Abel stood in the middle row without hesitation..
After that, Daniel, Calian, May, and Luke stood in turn..
On the other hand, on the defense side, Darin, Dorian, and Victor.
Henna and Cynthia stood on the far side..
“Hmm. Five people attacked. Three defenders. Two people from a distance. The combination itself isn't bad..”
Definitely not a bad combination.
When reorganizing the class in the first place, it must have been decided with positions in mind..
“Hmm. Now then, stand like this this time..”
Kaul thought for a moment and then divided the students into two halves..
“Group A. Attack Abel, Kalyan. Defense Darin, Dorian. distant cynthia.”
First, put 5 people into group A..
“Group B. Attack Luke, Daniel, and May. Defense Victor. long distance henna.”
The remaining 5 people were divided into group B..
“Now, does anyone know why they were divided into two groups??”
Daniel immediately answered Kaul's question..
“I'm going to fight?”
“okay. of course. From now on, it will be a mock battle every day until the training day. Continuing to change the composition.”
Everyone looked excited at those words..
It was natural.
Unlike difficult and boring training such as physical training and Gigant adaptation training, riding and fighting on a Gigant was exciting and exciting..
“Of course, the results are reflected in your grades.”
Cawl's continued words added to the spirit of victory..
Seeing the heated atmosphere, Cawl said with a satisfied smile..
“Now, just wait a moment! Because the aircraft will arrive soon.”
About 5 minutes passed?.
As Cowl said, each cadet's aircraft has been moved..
The cadets all boarded each aircraft following the instructions..
Because it was training in preparation for actual combat, the aircraft was not a training aircraft normally used..
widely-.
Abel climbed up the ladder and skillfully took his place in the cockpit..
Next, I placed my hand on the core and infused magical power, and immediately the Gigant opened its eyes..
Cooung-.
Abel, who soon raised his Gigant, looked ahead with his own weapon prepared in advance..
Even on the other side, I could see Gigants rising up one by one with a sound of movement..
‘Come to think of it, it's been a very long time since cadets fought against each other. No, is this the first time??’
Although it wasn't as much as when I was actually playing, I felt quite a bit of excitement..
Cooung-!
Not long after, heavy footsteps were heard from one side..
I turned my head and saw Cawl walking towards me on his Gigant..
-If even one person is seriously injured, the opposing group is at the bottom! Do you understand?!
-yes!
Everyone responded loudly to Cowl's words..
Cawl looked both ways in turn and shouted loudly..
-Everyone ready for battle!
