I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 129
129fury
Perhaps because it was the first lecture after the practical training, Kaul proceeded with the lecture more leisurely than expected..
Instead of engaging in rough Gigant fighting or running around the playground like crazy while riding a Gigant,.
I only did light running and stretching..
Kaul spoke briefly about the reason..
“You may still have some time to recover, but your body still has its limits..”
Cawl continued speaking while stretching his arms..
“The last practice was pretty intense. After that, you need to give your body some rest. This means that just overworking your body is not everything..”
As Kaul said those words, his gaze was directed directly at Daniel and Abel..
As if he had seen through it that he had been stuck in the training ground without resting even after returning to practice..
Cawl then lifted his knee and said,.
“Even if there is a match against the other team next week, if you don't rest properly, you will get bone problems..”
The cadets who were stretching without thinking following the cowl's movements widened their eyes..
When Cowl did not notice the change and was about to move on to the next move..
“Instructor! What is the anti-war war about??”
It was Cynthia who asked the question..
In response to her question, Cawl tilted his head and said.
“What's the story? Next Tuesday is the semi-final.?”
“……When was that decided??”
“ah.”
Cawl opened his mouth as if he had finally realized something..
“It was decided at this morning's meeting. I forgot.”
The cadets pursed their lips at those irresponsible words..
Cawl said with a grin..
“It's okay because I said something! As I just said, there will be a semi-final match next Tuesday. Of course, it's all done while riding the Gigant..”
“Place and rules…….”
“More details will be provided on the day..”
After that, the cadets asked a few more questions, but Kaul simply answered that they would find out on the day..
After finishing stretching, Cowl waved his hands and said,.
“ruler! Today's lecture is over! Take a break and go to the next lecture.!”
As soon as Kaul spoke, the cadets gathered in groups of twos and threes..
Several people gathered around Abel and started talking to him..
“If it were a fight against each other, it would be 10 people against 10 people.?”
“I guess so..”
Abel nodded moderately..
He also didn't know what the rules were for opposing matches. Because this is also a random event.
However, I knew what types there were..
‘Defending the king, pushing cargo, and taking over. I think it's one of these three.’
King protection, as the name suggests, means protecting the one person who has been appointed as king until the end..
Any team loses if the player in the king role becomes unable to move..
As the name suggests, cargo pushing involves moving a specific cargo to a designated location..
‘But I don't think this will come out..’
Although it was allowed to some extent in the game, it seemed difficult to actually implement it here..
And finally, before the occupation.
This is the simplest rule.
All you have to do is occupy a designated area first..
“But are the injured there okay??”
Darin said in a very worried voice..
Daniel answered that.
“I asked about it yesterday and they said it was just a minor injury..”
“Oh yeah?”
“huh. I've already almost fully recovered.”
When did you talk to the other cadets in your class?.
With that in mind, Abel asked Daniel..
“Who was injured??”
“Charlotte and June.”
“Oh yeah?”
“I heard that a Salamander suddenly appeared there. So the defense line collapsed..”
Abel shook his head at the word Salamander..
“If it were a Salamander, it wouldn't be worth it..”
Salamander was a fragment of a high-grade titan..
He is also a guy who specializes in multi-player battles, so it would have been close to impossible to hold out if someone like him suddenly appeared..
‘Perhaps the instructor or others showed up when dealing with the titan and destroyed the defense line..’
Abel imagined the scene and opened his mouth..
“Now let’s go to the next classroom. Go ahead and study.”
“Now that I think about it, the next one was a tactics lecture, right? Ugh.”
Abel laughed and dragged Daniel away..
Abel, who arrived at the next lecture hall so early, opened the book in advance and then checked other things..
‘challenge.’
As I repeated those words to myself, a window appeared before my eyes..
[Achievements List.]
[Visit all locations in the Academy.]
[Get your own Gigant. √]
[Achieve perfect scores in practice. √]
[Calling Cowl a Gorilla.]
[Make 5 or more friends. √]
[First encounter with the Colossus Fragment. √]
[Defeat more than 20 Colossus Fragments. √]
[Dealing with more than one Colossus. √]
[…….]
[achievement rate : 28％]
The challenge I checked after a long time had achievement marks on many items..
‘I woke up quite a lot while I wasn't watching..’
Unlike quests, challenges do not give you a reward each time you complete one. So, naturally, I don't check it often..
However, the reason I opened the challenge window for the first time in such a long time was because I was about to reach the reward section..
‘30, 50, 70, 100.’
The challenge is divided into 4 stages and rewards are given out..
Currently, Abel's challenge completion rate is 28%, with only 2% remaining..
There were two challenges Abel was aiming for right now to achieve 30%..
[Visit all locations in the Academy.]
[Win a match against a rivalry.]
Here, the anti-war battle is next week, so the first thing that needs to be done so far is the former..
‘They say it's everywhere, but you don't really have to go to every corner..’
To be precise, the challenge was accomplished by visiting all facilities accessible to the cadets..
However, it wasn't easy.
‘Are there now 2 places left?.’
Secret library and weapon storage in the library.
The reason I haven't been able to complete the challenge until now is because of the latter..
This is because the Mugu warehouse is a place where access is only allowed if you achieve great results..
There was no problem with the secret library in the library..
It was a place where you had to meet a few conditions to enter, but you worked hard and already met all the conditions..
“Abel. After today, I'll go straight to the training ground.?”
“no.”
“huh?”
“I'm going to stop by the library first..”
Daniel groaned and said those words..
“A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.…….”
“I think you're just physically healthy..”
“It's not?”
Abel lightly ignored Daniel’s words..
Today, as soon as the lecture is over, I planned to stop by two places: the secret library and the weapons warehouse..
‘It would be better to stop by the secret library first..’
Given the distance, it was much more efficient to stop by the library and then go to the Mugu warehouse..
After organizing his thoughts, Abel closed the challenge window and really focused on the book..
When we finished reviewing the previous class, the lecture began..
The lecture time passed quickly..
Most of the lectures went smoothly, perhaps in consideration of everyone's fatigue from the previous practice..
After all the lectures were over.
Abel separated from the other cadets and headed straight to the library..
‘It's quiet.’
There were not many people in the library building and it was quiet..
‘Well, there aren't that many people who like to use their brains..’
Although there were quite a few people who came to study during exam period, there were very few people who were passionate enough to go to the library from the beginning of the semester..
And Abel was one of those few..
The library with various Gigant-related books was like heaven to Abel..
“Cadet Abel. You came today too.”
As soon as I got inside, the librarian greeted Abel warmly..
Normally, I would have been greeted like this and gone inside to read the book..
But I had other business today..
“yes. I haven't been here for a few days and I feel itchy..”
“also. You are amazing.”
The librarian smiled and nodded..
Abel carefully asked the librarian.
“Could you please recommend a book??”
“A book? What type are you talking about??”
“Umm. I hope this is a bit interesting. I'd like to delve deeper into Gigant..”
“Hoo. is that so?”
The librarian's eyes sparkled..
She seemed to think for a moment, then pointed inside and said:.
“Then, would you please follow me for a moment??”
“yes.”
Abel cheered inwardly..
I knew that I met all the conditions, but I was still nervous inside..
The librarian passed by a bookshelf full of books and went straight inside..
The librarian, heading to the innermost part of the room, without hesitation, pulled out a book from one of the bookshelf..
Sooooo-.
Then, suddenly, the bookshelf with the book on it was pushed aside without a sound..
“W, this place……?”
Abel pretended to be surprised and looked at the librarian..
The librarian said with a grin..
“This library is only allowed to cadets who are sincere and love books. Come in..”
After saying that, the librarian immediately stood and went inside..
Abel walked slowly behind her..
There were only three bookshelves in the secret library..
Considering the enormous size of the library outside, it could be said to be a new blood, but considering the quality of the books in the secret library, it was impossible to compare based on size alone..
‘Because all the books in here are rare..’
Although I came here to complete a challenge, I felt my heart pounding as I entered..
The books in the secret library had unusual titles..
[Exploring Gigant's principles.]
[The giant's behavior and its secrets.]
[Founder of Del Modor Academy.]
[…….]
It was a title that sparked interest..
But unfortunately, I couldn't pick the book I wanted and take it with me..
Those are the rules of this secret library..
I couldn't choose the books freely, and could only take what the librarian specified..
But that method also had its own exciting aspects..
I guess I'm secretly looking forward to what kind of book they'll lend me..
The librarian looked through the bookshelf and thought about it, then took out a book and handed it to Abel..
“I think this book would be a good fit for Cadet Abel..”
Abel's eyes reflexively turned to the cover of the book, and his eyes widened in surprise..
[The secret of heavy swordsmanship.]
The title itself wasn't that special. However, the author's name below was slightly different..
‘Alon’
Allon, the hero of the country and the great knight.
His name was written on it..
“This…….”
“I'm sure you'll find it helpful..”
The librarian smiled again and said.
“Just keep the book until you need it and then return it. Of course, you have to return it before graduation..”
“Ah yes. thank you.”
“What.”
The librarian said that and slowly walked outside the secret library..
Abel followed suit, and when the librarian came out and put a book in, the bookshelf moved again, hiding the secret library..
“Well, I hope you have a nice day..”
“yes.”
Abel said hello to the librarian and slowly left the library..
I wanted to sit down at my desk in the library and read a book right now, but I still had work left to do..
Now it was time to go get a new Gigant weapon..
