I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 18

18fury

The number of teaching assistants was much greater than last time. Even more than the cadets taking the class..

Unlike last time, the number of Gigants prepared was 10..

Cadets who are not yet familiar with Gigant may have a serious accident while training..

“I understood what you meant.?”

“yes?”

Kaul said kindly, putting his hand around Abel's shoulder..

“So that means I don't have much to do..”

Abel smiled awkwardly..

It wasn't wrong..

Gigant training teaches you about overall Gigant operation, but honestly, at the beginning of the play, Cawl, the instructor in charge, doesn't have much to do..

‘At least everyone can get up and walk around to proceed properly..’

Until then, it is the assistant's responsibility to suffer..

In other words, there was no way for Abel to escape Kaul's evil spell..

Kaul asked Abel, who was smiling awkwardly..

“I don't think he likes it very much.?”

“Could that be possible? Special training. It is an honour.”

Abel spoke elegantly, as if he had greased his mouth..

Cawl grinned again, nodded and said.

“Now, try it first..”

Abel walked towards Rufus' core as if he was being pushed..

I was a little anxious about suddenly receiving special training, but it didn't feel bad at all..

It was because his Gigant was lying in front of him..

‘Okay, I won't ask you to do anything weird in class..’

Abel decided to think positively..

Although Cawl had a somewhat martial temperament, he was a man with clear skills. Isn’t he one of the best period riders?.

In fact, receiving special training from him was a good opportunity, so it wouldn't be strange for Abel to ask for it first..

Eventually, Abel arrived in front of the Gigant's cockpit and looked up at his Gigant..

‘lupus.’

As I repeated that name to myself, I felt an exhilarating feeling again..

If Cawl wasn't watching from behind, I would have been mesmerized for a long time..

Abel calmed his regret and climbed into the cockpit using an assistive device..

In the case of Gigant used before, the cockpit was opened in advance, but Lupus was not..

Since it is a personal device, it is locked separately..

Abel, who knew this, carefully placed his palm on the outer armor of the cockpit..

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Then, a blue light spread out like a wave around that place..

The light that had spread in a circle converged again to one point, and with a low vibration sound, the armor surrounding the cockpit spread to the left and right..

Opened by recognizing Abel's unique magic pattern.

Abel entered the cockpit with a slightly flushed face..

“hmm.”

The interior was similar to the Miles I rode before..

Unlike the exterior, which is equipped with additional armor, the interior remains the same as the basic specifications..

But even so, the satisfaction did not decrease at all..

Abel smiled and placed both hands on his inner core..

‘slowly…….’

Since it was a trembling and exciting moment, we needed to be more careful..

This is the moment when you imprint your existence on Gigant for the first time..

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-.

The magic power drawn from deep within the body was sucked into the core..

The mana that was sucked in eventually ran towards the power source inside the Gigant..

The magic power that Abel instilled is, so to speak, prime water..

A priming water that will make the heart of a sleeping giant beat again.

The magical power that circled the power source increased in amount and returned to Abel..

And again Abel infused his magic..

again, and again.

An endless cycle was formed between Abel and Gigant..

“iced coffee…….”

Abel exclaimed as he felt his senses expanding in an instant, and instinctively began to raise his tuning rate..

thud! thud! thud!

The sound of my heartbeat echoed like thunder..

Abel's spirit escaped the weak human body and resided in a giant made of metal..

Abel called the name of the quiet giant..

‘lupus.’

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

A green light sparkled in Rufus' empty eyes..

Cooung!

Rufus then slowly moved his arms and stood up..

Cooung!

Everyone who turned their heads to the continuous shaking looked blankly at Lupus waking up..

The quick synchronization and gentle movements were enough to elicit gasps from their mouths once again..

“Phew.”

Abel let out the breath he had been holding only after helping Rufus stand upright..

Even though it was manufactured to standard specifications, it was not completely the same as the Miless I drove last time..

Basically, Gigant is handmade..

‘But it feels different.’

Even though it wasn't completely custom made, the feeling was definitely different..

Feels like it fits much better.

Boom, boom-.

While he was thinking that with a flushed face, another aircraft approached him..

It was a featureless aircraft similar to the one used for practice earlier..

But Abel knew right away who was in it..

Just by looking at the movement, the level was extraordinary..

-Abel.

Cawl's voice rang out..

Abel also responded by manipulating Gigant..

-yes.

-The special training you will do today is simple..

Kaul said to Abel in a joyful voice:.

-I'm having fun until class ends..

The ominous prediction was not wrong..

‘Among all the teachers, Kaul had the style that emphasized physical strength the most.…….’

In an instant, Abel's future, rolling like crazy, passed before his eyes..

Then Cawl spoke again.

-But wouldn’t it be a bit awkward if you just roll it around? So give me one chance.

-Opportunity?

-okay. If you somehow manage to beat me just once, skip the special physical training. instead.

Cawl said evilly..

-If you try and fail, you'll roll twice as much..

It was literally a temptation from the devil..

Abel didn't know it, but there were more than one senior who fell for this temptation and suffered catastrophic muscle pain..

It was a clever plan he came up with because there were many cadets who would rebel if he just did it recklessly..

Because if you try first and fail, you can say it was your choice..

Kaul spoke to Abel as if trying to trick him..

-Wouldn’t you like to check how big your aircraft is??

That was right.

It's very difficult to calm your curiosity and excitement about the newly acquired aircraft and just stand still..

Honestly, it's no different from torture..

Of course, Abel knew very well what Kaul's intention was when he said those words..

Because it’s a scene that also appeared in the game..

-yes. I will challenge you.

Nevertheless, Abel did not hesitate for long..

If Kaul hadn't told him, he might have asked first..

I've been thinking about checking what my current power level is at least once..

Cawl said in a satisfied voice..

-I thought so.

I could imagine Cawl smiling like a gorilla even though he was clearly on the aircraft..

-Come here first.

The space for Gigant training was very large, so there was no need to move to another location..

It is natural because the teacher in charge cannot be absent at all in the first place..

After just widening the distance from the other Gigant, the two stood facing each other with some distance between them..

Cawl opened his mouth again..

-If you show outstanding skills, you will be able to learn and experience more and gain more..

-yes.

-I will stand still here. Let's go light at first. Do not use additional weapons.

Cowl stretched his arms downward..

-attack.

*       *       *

Cawl was a Gigante Rider active in the late stages of the Great War..

At the height of his active service, he drove the Militum class, the pride of the empire, and even now, after retiring from the front line and serving as a teacher, he still owns the Centurio class..

‘That's just a training Miles.’

However, what Cowl was currently riding was only a training aircraft..

The aircraft's performance and output itself are probably below average..

but…….

Even though he was just standing defenseless in that type of aircraft, the intimidating feeling he felt was not normal..

It was like looking at a huge wall.

There was no opportunity to attack.

“Phew.”

Abel took a long breath..

I had no intention of denying the burden..

It's natural to feel pressure from Cowl..

No matter how talented he was, this was only the second time Abel drove the Milles class..

On the other hand, Cawl was truly a veteran. So, it is natural that there is an overwhelming difference in skills..

The important thing is to accept the differences and never give up..

It is enough to have the determination to keep moving forward with the promise that someday, in the not-too-distant future, you will overcome that wall..

Abel moved the aircraft slowly..

I took a posture after carefully checking the condition of the aircraft as if I was stretching..

Even though the difference was big, I didn't intend to do it roughly..

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

As I pushed all the magic power into the core, Lupus vibrated slightly..

After pushing his magical power to its limit, Abel began his movement without any warning..

Kwaaang-!

The aircraft shot forward with an intense noise..

Explosive speed and output using a different level of synchronization were his main weapons..

By using Shadow Step, the fairly long distance was shortened in an instant..

Abel tightly bound Rufus, who was trying to escape from his control, and punched him..

There was Cowl's aircraft in front of us..

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The moment I thought the attack might work.

Kaang!

Cawl's arm struck Abel's arm..

It was an incredibly fast and simple movement. Abel hastily took a defensive stance..

-not bad.

However, instead of attacking Abel's weakness, Kaul spoke in a calm voice..

-This time, try using an additional weapon. You can use more, but it will be difficult to use more than one at once anyway..

This wasn't an attempt to belittle Abel, it was just natural advice..

It is common sense that even an experienced Gigant rider needs time to adapt to new weaponry..

-……yes.

After Abel answered, he took a slight step back..

I expected it, but I couldn't help but feel resentful when the attack was blocked so easily..

Even if I couldn't hit him, I wanted to at least surprise him..

However, if he had known Cawl's true intentions, his thoughts would have been different..

‘It's no joke.’

Cawl was shocked enough..

What he tried to teach Abel was humility..

There have been countless cases where people with outstanding talent fell prey to arrogance and conceit..

Moreover, didn't Abel become famous even before entering school, saying he was chosen by the hero Alon?.

There was a need to make sure he was discouraged..

So, I planned to simply move my upper body to avoid it and then say, ‘That sucks.’.

However, Abel's attack was faster and more threatening than at first glance..

It has grown significantly in just one week..

‘Come to your senses.’

Cawl took his stance again, remembering his original educational purpose..

You have to come to your senses to teach that boy a proper lesson..

Cawl strengthened his resolve and spoke in a more relaxed voice to hide his surprise..

-If you succeed in attacking even once, I will grant you one wish in addition to being exempt from physical training..

-yes.

Abel nodded and checked the additional parts..

All three Scarlet sets are excellent combat auxiliary weapons..

As long as you write well.

“Hueup.”

Abel took a deep breath and concentrated his mind..

My posture was lower than before. Rather than focusing on speed, they focused on maintaining stability..

Because if you do it wrong, you might fall.

Suddenly, the eyes of the cadets and instructors in the same space were all turned in this direction, but Abel's attention was focused solely on the cowl in front of him..

‘Just one room.’

What was important now wasn't a wish..

A huge wall? A skill gap so enormous that it cannot be overlooked? I don't need it all.

Even if you think too much, your body will just slow down..

So let's go simple.

‘Somehow, I get a punch in the face..’

No matter what you do, give the gorilla a shot. that was all.

Cooung!

As soon as Abel made up his mind, he kicked the ground..

Up to this point, it was the same as before. No, it was actually slower because of my posture. But when the other foot touches the floor.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The additional weapon 'Wind Blessing' attached to the back of the foot exerted powerful propulsion and pushed Rufus forward..

It is an armament that poses a risk of losing balance, but since the stance was already lowered to prepare for it, it was not a big problem..

Now, if you add Shadow Step, you will be able to attack twice as fast as before..

However, it is impossible to hit Cowl simply by being faster..

That's why he used the overflow skill and second weapon at the same time..

Ugh!

Head parts ‘Sage’s Crown’.

It rises like an antenna on both sides of the head and maximizes the performance of the sense organs..

Even when looking at the same thing, it allows you to see better and even predict where to attack and where the attack will come..

When the effects of Overflow and Sage's Coffin were combined, it felt like time was temporarily passing slowly..

The load on his body became stronger and blood started to flow from his nose, but Abel didn't care..

Because Cowl's plane was right in front of me..

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Abel's fist extended forward and Cawl reacted almost immediately..

He stretched out his arm and tried to block Abel's fist..

Truly amazing reaction speed. If things continue like this, it's obvious that things will get blocked..

In literally a split second, Abel made the next move..

I kept punching without stopping and kept repeating to myself,.

‘double attack.’

Just before my right fist blocked, my left arm bounced like a spring..

Cawl, who had already moved to block the right fist, quickly turned his body, but.

bang!

I couldn't avoid Abel's fist hitting my chin..

The accident, which had accelerated with the sound of impact, suddenly returned to its original state, and a crushing headache and sticky fatigue greeted Abel..

There is zero magic power left in the body..

I just poured everything into one shot..

Abel said to Cawl, who slowly lowered his head, resisting the urge to lie down right away..

-now… … Can I make a wish??
