I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 13

13fury

Gigant is flying.

“uh……?”

Cawl, who was watching from afar, opened his mouth wide. He reacted the same way as the other cadets around him..

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

May, who had been dozing off until then, was also watching the two giants weighing dozens of tons flying in the sky..

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The flight that seemed like it would last forever ended with a loud noise..

Chloe looked blankly at the other Gigant..

The person riding that gigant is a first year student. And that too, the chick of chicks who has only been in school for two days..

“ha ha ha.”

She smiled without realizing it because something didn't feel real..

Everyone else was equally surprised by the unrealistic scene..

Still, like a teacher, Cawl quickly came to his senses and spoke with a serious expression..

“Is it a dream??”

*       *       *

Fortunately, the damage was not significant..

The Milles-class Gigant was not damaged to the point where it could be shattered with just one headbutt, so Abel and Chloe riding inside were fine..

After sorting out the situation, Abel had a conversation with Kaul..

Cowl looked confused at first glance..

“No, there… … Seup.”

As a teacher, I had no idea whether I should scold him or praise him for this..

Abel's behavior was shocking enough to embarrass an experienced teacher..

It was completely unbelievable that a cadet who had only been enrolled for two days had done this..

who is chloe?

He is a cadet who is famous for being exceptional even among third-year students who have undergone numerous training and practical combat..

Abel didn't just back off her gigant, he completely blew it away..

He flew too, but that doesn't matter.

Kaul was silent for a moment and looked at Abel, but when he felt the gaze of the cadets standing in the distance, he spoke again..

“That was earlier... … Is it a vision??”

The strange movements shown when first approaching Chloe's aircraft and the explosive power shown at close range..

Cowl knew well that this was no ordinary Gigant operation..

Before Cawl was a teacher, he was a Gigant Rider who had been through countless battlefields for a long time..

Abel calmly answered Kaul's question..

“yes. It was being developed recently..”

“what?”

Cawl narrowed his eyebrows and asked back..

“you developed it?”

“yes.”

Abel looked at Kaul with a proud expression..

The reason he said he developed it himself was because it was the most natural..

You could say it was something I learned by chance or it was a family vision..

But later?

This will not be the end of receiving skills as quest rewards..

I couldn't adequately cover it up every time. Because if you make excuses every time, it might arouse more suspicion..

It's better to go out confidently from the beginning..

‘It may be quite suspicious at first, but if you think about it later, it makes more sense..’

It wasn't completely unprecedented anyway..

In the first place, visions exist because someone created them..

Of course, most of the people who created the vision were called geniuses..

‘The goal is to stand out anyway..’

Considering Abel's current situation and the future of this world, it was right for him to be as visible and flashy as possible..

Because the world was too rough to live while hiding one's strength..

At least Abel thought and acted like that..

“her. Wow.”

Although Kaul looked dumbfounded, he did not tell Abel not to lie..

This was because I knew that Abel was the chief and was also involved in the rumors about the statue..

‘Are you really a monster?.’

Kaul looked at Abel with complicated eyes and then opened his mouth..

“i get it. It was a bit extreme, but it was a good move. Because the goal was achieved through means that the opponent could not have imagined. Since we are not trying to grow flowers in a greenhouse, it is foolish to criticize the extremeness of the method..”

While saying that, Kaul took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to him..

It was a gift voucher for 1kg and 10kg of Tellisium..

At the bottom was the official seal of the academy, owned only by the principal..

“If you go to the workshop and give this to them, you will receive Tellisium on the spot or you can make whatever you want with it. Or, you can get it for the right price. I never thought it would actually happen..”

Kaul ate his mouth..

Although the teacher's salary was not very high, the value of 10 kg of Tellisium was by no means small..

‘I bought it to make my own armor..’

Cawl held out the paper with his hands shaking..

“I…….”

“huh?”

“Can I take it??”

Only then did Kaul realize that he had been putting too much pressure on his hands in response to Abel's question..

“Huh. okay. we are here.”

Cawl nodded with a shy expression, and Abel snatched up the gift voucher as soon as his hands relaxed..

“thank you.”

Abel put the paper in his arms with a satisfied smile..

Then, he followed Cawl, who seemed to have lost some energy, back to where the other cadets were standing and waiting..

Afterwards, practice resumed again..

Maybe he was inspired by Abel's performance, but surprisingly, his subsequent turns were successful up to the minimum level of operation..

In particular, Daniel surprised those around him by successfully standing up..

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

As soon as I took three steps, my foot got twisted and I fell..

Still, Kaul smiled with satisfaction and gave Daniel a Tellysium gift certificate..

Just walking three steps is a big deal..

‘I didn’t buy this with my own money anyway.!’

After that, several more failures followed and the final turn came..

“may. come forward.”

May, who was already dozing off again, was startled when she heard her name being called..

“Ah yes.”

Abel watched with interest as she boarded the Miles under Kaul's instructions..

Although she was sleepy all the time and looked dazed, Abel knew very well that May's talent was not ordinary..

In terms of potential, it can be said to be top-notch, so it may be surprising.…….

“It doesn't work.”

……What you see didn't happen.

Miles didn't even move. Kaul consoled May, saying that it was a difficult task and that she should not be discouraged, but Abel thought differently..

‘No, I don't think they even tried in the first place.?’

There was no way that May couldn't even operate..

Anyone can see that it didn't do anything and just came back out. But Abel was the only one who thought that way..

Because no one here knew the extent of May's talent..

Abel looked at May with strangely regretful eyes..

The reason Abel was so interested in May was simple..

‘I need to get motivated quickly somehow..’

That was because I knew very well that there was no point in becoming strong alone..

I couldn't pass it up anyway, saying it was someone else's business and who cares?.

Why did you join the academy in the first place??

To join the main story.

‘If I was just going to make a comfortable living, I would have just worked for Vulcan all the time..’

Abel was recognized for his skills by Vulcan, a craftsman of unrivaled status among human craftsmen..

It means that you could have lived a decent life even if it wasn't all that well..

But Abel didn't do that..

Because I know the future.

The future of this world that will be destroyed if we do nothing.

I entered the academy to prevent that..

Abel, who was lost in other thoughts for a moment, came to his senses when he heard Cawl's loud voice..

“ruler! There are some friends who have shown amazing performances, but it is normal for them to have difficulty even operating, so don't be too glum..”

Cowl, who offered comfort, looked at the cadets and said,.

“Everyone is probably tired anyway, so today's class will end here! Everyone worked hard.”

At those words, the cadets' expressions brightened. Because class ended 15 minutes early..

Abel also thought to himself that Kaul was a better teacher than he thought..

“Where are you going??”

“I know.”

After class, the cadets talked to each other..

Even though it ended early, it was only the first class, so it was too far to go to the dormitory to take a break..

Cawl saw the chicks chirping and said one more thing..

“The next class is beginner weapon skills, right? If you go to that building, there will be a small park, so if you have nowhere else to go, rest there..”

“Ah yes!”

At that kind explanation, the cadets bowed their heads, said hello, and started moving..

Abel naturally tried to join the group, but someone stopped him..

“Is it Abel??”

It was Chloe..

“yes. you're right.”

“It was pretty good before. I was really surprised.”

Chloe said with a smile.

Abel, who knew well that he was naturally a cheerful and friendly person, was not embarrassed and answered with a smile..

“thank you.”

“okay. I look forward to your performance during the first practice..”

Chloe said that, waved her hand, and walked back towards Gigant. It seemed like I was just talking to you with the intention of just saying hello..

‘1Because it’s tea training.’

It would be in 4 weeks at the earliest, but considering the tight curriculum, it was a time that would pass quickly..

And Abel was also looking forward to the practice here..

After seeing Chloe get on the Gigant, I turned around and saw my classmates walking away..

‘Those without loyalty.’

Just as I was thinking, “I’ll just wait for this,” I saw a guy standing there blankly..

“Abel! let's go!”

It was Daniel..

“Uh, yeah.”

There was no reason to refuse, so Abel nodded, though he was hesitant, and took his steps..

But Abel regretted his choice less than five minutes later..

“I really thought my heart would drop when you suddenly moved earlier... … . When I first rode Gigant… … . So that's it. Oh, you hear me?”

“……okay.”

Daniel was more talkative than I thought..

So much so that my ears hurt.

*       *       *

Abel had quite good physical strength..

He trained hard from the beginning, and after being adopted into the count's family, he trained several times more rigorously..

As a result, I was confident in my physical strength..

“I'm dying.”

However, the academy's curriculum was more difficult than expected..

‘It wasn't just the exam that was tough..’

Abel looked up at the ceiling blankly and thought..

‘I should have noticed when I saw you acting crazy during the test.’

When I saw it in the game, it was a scene that could be completed with just a few clicks, so I didn't think much about it..

However, from my own experience, I found that the academy's curriculum was harder than I imagined..

I went to the weapon skills class with my stamina already depleted from riding the Gigant, and I went crazy for almost two hours..

But even that was better than the last physical training session. Because I really felt like I was going to die at that time.

When the last class ended, even Daniel, who said he was confident in his physical strength, was reduced to green onion kimchi..

“Phew.”

I sighed when I thought about how this kind of life would continue to repeat itself in the future, but I couldn't help it..

Originally, the Gigant Rider course aimed to create superhumans, not ordinary humans..

But it wasn't all bad things..

First of all, I received the telesium during my first class. 11㎏.

I can think of dozens of things to make with just 1kg, but with 11kg, it goes without saying..

It would certainly be possible to significantly increase power..

‘Because your Gigant is yours to take care of..’

Even though this is an academy, they did not unify Gigant specifications or anything like that..

Rather, it was actively recommended to upgrade..

Equity? As far as Gigant is concerned, having a lot of money was considered a talent..

Or do you show monstrous talent and receive support from the Academy?.

Abel alone has already acquired 11 kg of Telesium, and wasn't it decided to receive support for one Miles-class Gigant soon?.

This is that kind of place.

‘From now on, you have to take care of everything you can..’

Abel stopped thinking about the Academy and then went back to his original topic..

What was gained was not just Telesium. Having income other than material things.

Abel slowly closed his eyes to see it for himself..

Then a bright light emerged from the black darkness..

It wasn't just the status window. Another new window appeared above it..

today. As soon as we finished our first day at the Academy, a new system was opened..

[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]

[…….]

flower of the game.

It was a challenge. And the game was famous for its generous rewards for each challenge..

The reward given when 100% was achieved was beyond imagination..

There was a reason why Abel was excited. He excitedly looked at the challenge and stopped at one point..

‘We can achieve this tomorrow.’

The item was none other than ‘First Encounter with the Fragment of the Colossus’..
