I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 131

131fury

‘Sealed weapon? master level skills?’

Abel's eyes moved back and forth at the message that came to him at an unexpected time..

I hope so for a while.

Abel read the message again from the first line..

‘It's a sealed weapon?’

Abel knew well what that concept was..

If a weapon is not performing properly for some reason, it is usually labeled as 'sealed'..

However, the frequency of its appearance was not very high..

When you think about that concept, it was natural..

How high is the probability that a high-performing and excellent weapon will be left unattended and not performing as well as it should?.

‘Basically, this is only possible if no one recognizes the true value of the weapon..’

Therefore, such modifiers were usually only attached to artifacts from some ruins..

But there was something even more surprising..

This is a master level skill..

‘At master level, it's hard to get one for each character..’

Simply put, master level skills can be thought of as the highest level..

A performance that cannot be compared to anything else in its category.

There are currently less than 10 characters in the game with master level skills..

“Mmm.”

Abel groaned and looked at the long spear he was holding in his hand..

For some reason, the window was the same, but it felt heavier for no reason..

Of course, it felt great.

I thought it was moderate luck, but it turned out to be a huge windfall..

‘I need to handle it more carefully.’

After thinking that, Abel slowly raised his spear and took a stance..

The moment he saw the message, a clue to a skill he had never known before flowed into his mind..

It was a clue to the master level skill ‘Rain God’s Wrath’..

‘Come to think of it, this is how we got the overflow..’

When I came to the academy to apply for the entrance exam, what I got from the hidden piece hidden in Sir Alon's statue was the clue to the overflow..

This is the second time I got a clue to another skill..

It's been almost half a year.

‘Come to think of it, the author of the book obtained from the secret library was also Sir Alon..’

I felt happy yet strangely uneasy at the succession of good fortunes..

‘In the game, whenever you get a good item or skill, an enemy or quest of difficult difficulty appears..’

That may not apply in real life, but it felt uneasy for some reason..

“Phew.”

Abel took a short breath and shook off his anxiety..

There was something else that was important right now..

It was a detailed examination of the newly acquired clues..

As the name suggests, a clue is just a clue..

Even just overflow, it took me a month to learn it properly..

‘This is a master level skill, so it won't take much longer..’

This was my first time obtaining a master level skill in this way, both in the game and here, so I wasn't quite sure..

First, Abel slowly rotated the Vajra held in both hands with his fingers..

‘The most important thing is rotation.’

The basic principle of Raijin's Wrath was to utilize the tricks of rotation..

So he tried to implement it in one way or another..

Once I started concentrating, my thoughts disappeared into the distance and only the window was visible..

I try using my magic, and I try moving my fingers in different ways..

Abel, who had been trying various methods for nearly two hours, suddenly opened his eyes wide..

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For-.

The vajra was slowly rotating in my hand..

The rotation, realized through magic power and subtle hand movements, continued uninterrupted as if it were interrupted..

Abel carefully removed one hand, trying not to forget the sensation..

Slurp-.

Then the window slowly stopped again as if it had been rotating for some time..

‘It's not easy.’

I still don't know exactly what this Thunder God's anger is, but it is assumed to be in the form of sending a spear flying with one hand..

In other words, the basic form itself is a javelin throwing skill..

‘First of all, I should aim to rotate it with one hand..’

This time, Abel held it with one hand from the beginning and continued to practice and practice..

In the training area, only the occasional sound of a spear being dropped was heard..

*       *       *

A few days later. In the evening, after all the lectures for the day had ended, Abel was walking unsteadily..

“you… … Are you sick? I don't think I've been in a good mood all day..”

Henna saw that and asked with a worried expression..

Abel shook his head at that..

“no. I couldn't sleep much.”

“What time did you go to sleep??”

He thought for a moment and realized that he had only slept about two hours..

“Umm. well.”

But I didn't say it out loud. 'Cause she was sure to get nagged.

“Then go in and get some rest. It's the weekend tomorrow anyway?”

“Yeah, that's how it should be.”

As I said, Friday classes were over, so I could sleep as long as I wanted..

But Abel had no intention of doing so..

‘I think you'll get the hang of it if you just give it a little more time..’

This is because the thought of ‘rotation’ cannot be erased from my mind..

It was already four days ago that I first got Vajra from the armor warehouse..

Since then, Abel has been concentrating on the clues to the skill called Thunder God's Wrath..

I wanted to learn the skill as quickly as possible, and since it was the most basic level, I thought it would be possible with a little more effort..

But even though four days passed without such thoughts, Abel was still wandering in the first step..

‘I have no clue about Vajra's seal..’

In addition, I was so focused on learning how to spin that I couldn't even touch Sir Alon's book yet..

It's a bit weird to grumble while holding in your hands the luck that other people couldn't help but wish for, but it was true that it was frustrating in many ways..

It's like holding gold in your hands but not being able to use it..

“I can't do it..”

“huh?”

“I'll stop by somewhere for a moment..”

“what? I don't even eat?”

“It will come soon!”

Abel said this to Henna and quickly turned away..

The place Abel headed to was none other than a personal training center..

‘Let's eat simple food today.’

There was some convenience food he had brought separately at the personal training center, so I thought I would just eat dinner and train with that..

Not long after that, Abel arrived at the personal training center and immediately opened the door and went in..

As soon as Abel went inside, he grabbed the convenience food left in a corner and ate it, then immediately picked up his practice spear..

You don't have to ride a gigantic bike to figure out how to turn..

There was a lot of physical exhaustion..

“good.”

Abel held his spear and took a strong stance as if he had been begging for help for some time..

The spear held tightly by both hands rotated slowly due to the interference between Abel's hand movements and magic power, and then began to speed up..

After a few days of practice, I am now able to do the rotation itself well..

The problem was then.

Slurp-.

Abel removed one hand and slowly rotated the spear as before..

Abel slowly pulled his arm back while maintaining a high degree of concentration, and at some point threw the spear like a thunderbolt..

Wheeeeeeee profit-!

The spear flew in an irregular trajectory..

But at some point, the spear noticeably slowed down and fell to the ground with a crash..

It was completely different from what Abel expected..

“also. The rotation comes loose in the middle..”

This is what is currently blocked.

The rotational force is not maintained when thrown..

I vaguely knew what the problem was..

‘There must be something wrong with the use of magical power..’

The basic principle of Raishin is to increase destructive power by exerting strong rotational force through the use of magical power..

It is different from simply rotating it with your hand and throwing it..

It is a technology that requires delicate horsepower management..

The problem was that even though I was testing the horsepower operation here and there, there was no change..

I spent a few hours thinking about it and practicing like that..

Someone came to the training ground.

“huh?”

When Abel saw the visitor's name, he was surprised and immediately opened the door..

It was none other than Scarlett who appeared through the open door..

“long time no see.”

She greeted me with a slight smile..

“yes. long time no see.”

Abel bowed politely and greeted.

I've seen her briefly once during vacation, but it's been a long time since she took the time to visit me like this..

“Please come in.”

I said, stepping aside slightly, and Scarlett nodded and walked inside..

“I came to see you because I felt like I hadn't seen you for too long. If I don't see you this time, I think it will be hard to see you again for a while..”

Abel carefully asked a question..

“Are you going to the south by any chance??”

The situation in the South was still not over. To be precise, rather than ending, it was getting worse..

This was because the giant and its fragments were endlessly sticking out from somewhere..

The higher-ups did their best to prevent rumors from spreading, but they couldn't stop all the stories that spread from person to person..

Scarlett responded to Abel's words in a calm voice..

“huh. That's it. Things aren't so good in the south..”

“okay.”

There was silence for a moment. Scarlett brought up another topic..

“Anyway, I heard an interesting rumor. He showed off his power to control flames..”

“Ah, yes.”

Abel was not embarrassed and answered.

There's no way his sponsor doesn't know what Cawl also knows..

Scarlett said with a smile.

“I want to show you sometime?”

“yes.”

Since he already had a spear in one hand, Abel immediately lit up the flame..

Hwareuk-!

The flames that spread around the window sill illuminated the surrounding area..

Scarlett came closer and looked at it, then shook her head..

“Good. There is still room for growth in many ways, but the power as well as the control will be enough to be useful in actual combat. Oh, but one thing…….”

After giving some advice, she said to Abel:.

“That's enough power to be a pretty powerful weapon. So keep moving forward.”

“All right.”

Scarlett stared at Abel for a moment and then opened her mouth..

“I wonder why you don't ask me how I got my power?”

Abel paused for a moment and then answered..

“……That's right.”

It may not have been known to anyone else, but it was something that Scarlett, the sponsor, would have been curious about..

‘Others would assume that since he had Scarlett, the Spear of Flame, as his patron, he must have learned from her..’

But Scarlett knows that's not the case. 'Cause she never taught me.

Scarlett said to Abel.

“I'm curious, but I don't plan on asking..”

She took a step closer to Abel and leaned towards him..

“The chaos that has begun to engulf the empire is growing in size even at this moment. The most important thing in times of peace is stability. Nothing is more important than ruling out risk factors in advance..”

Scarlett came so close that he could almost feel his breathing and spoke to Abel in a low voice..

“But the most important thing in times of chaos is the power to end the chaos. Everything else is considered trivial.”

Scarlett, who had said that far, straightened her bent back and opened her mouth..

“So don't do anything that is harmful to the empire. As long as you keep that, I will remain your biggest supporter forever..”

“yes. I'll keep that in mind.”

Abel answered with a voice without trembling..

This was one of the reasons he originally wanted Scarlett's support.

As long as you prove your ability, you are the type of person to consider other things trivial..

Scarlett said with a grin..

“If anyone has any doubts, they say I told them all. I'll say that too.”

“yes.”

“Then, don’t you have any more questions??”

Scarlett politely asked Abel before concluding the conversation..

Abel was about to say no, but suddenly he remembered something and cautiously opened his mouth..

“There's one skill I've been struggling to master recently..”

“you? What kind of amazing technology is this??”

Scarlett asked with a puzzled expression, and Abel showed her the rotation he had been practicing recently..

After Scarlett saw it all, she blinked and said,.

“This is similar to my technique?”

“yes?”

“Can you give me a window for a moment??”

“Here it is.”

Scarlett, who received the spear from Abel, held it lightly and took a stance..

“The name of this technique is Chlorophyllum..”

At that moment, a strong sense of intimidation radiated from her. It was so intimidating that it took her breath away..

But the surprising thing was that it didn't end there..

Hwareuk!

Flames enveloped the spear and began to slowly rotate in a circle..

Scarlett pulled her arm back and threw away the spear as if letting go of the protest that had been pulled to its limit..

The spear wrapped in flames gradually grew in size as it flew..

As if it was swallowing everything around and moving forward..

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Eventually, the window hit the wall, making a loud noise and creating a huge flame..

The wall, which was designed to withstand the impact of Gigant, was seen cracked and slowly repaired..

However, Abel was more impressed by the trajectory of the spear than by its enormous power..

‘rotation.’

The spear clearly maintained a strong rotation even as it flew..

It was exactly what Abel wanted..

“How should I explain this?…….”

Scarlett, who showed off her brilliant skills, straightened her posture and asked Abel..

“I just want to learn this skill too?”
