I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 20
20fury
The cadets, including Tania and Abel, left the academy in a vehicle that resembled a car..
It was large enough for ten people to ride and its speed was much faster than that of a carriage..
The interior of such a vehicle was very quiet..
For some reason, no one easily opened their mouths due to the heavy atmosphere..
But the silence didn't last long.
“I…….”
In such an atmosphere, Daniel gathered courage and opened his mouth..
“Isn't the Wall of Glory generally impossible to tour? I heard it's an important military facility.…….”
Tania briefly answered Daniel's question..
“In general, yes. However, the cadets of Del Modor Academy are an exception. You will become a Gigant Rider and go to the front lines in the future..”
As soon as those words ended, there was even more silence than before..
It was a natural result that the tension on the cadets' faces became more intense..
This is because the weight of the name ‘Wall of Glory’ was so great..
‘In fact, the Wall of Glory itself is like a battlefield..’
Abel recalled information in the game..
For generations, special class cadets take field trips to the Wall of Glory at the beginning of each semester..
The reason is to instill ‘awareness’..
The Wall of Glory is a huge barrier that blocks enemies from entering the empire, and many battles actually took place there..
‘There's probably a battle going on today too..’
Those who live within the high walls of the empire may not realize it easily, but this world is never peaceful..
That is why we offer tours of the Wall of Glory from the beginning of the semester..
By touring the place, the cadets realize the weight of the name Gigant Rider..
Of course, we can't hurt the academy's talented people who haven't even learned anything properly, so it literally ends at the level of a field trip..
This means that there is little chance of something dangerous happening..
In general, that is..
‘But this time is different.’
But things don't always go as expected.
In the game, an unexpected crisis arises during the field trip, and the cadets are in great danger..
It's not just a risk for show either..
‘There are only 3 bad endings placed here..’
If there is even the slightest mistake, the protagonist and other major characters die and the game ends as is..
It was natural for Abel to feel very nervous..
However, there was not only a crisis there..
‘In times of crisis, appropriate opportunities and rewards are given..’
This game was like that in the first place. If you overcome the crisis well, you can get a bigger reward than usual..
Abel reviewed the plan, pulling out the information he knew with a complex expression..
How long has it been like that?.
It seemed like the horse-powered car I was riding was slowing down, and then it came to a complete stop..
“Im here.”
You have arrived at your destination.
* * *
Del Modor Academy is thoroughly elitist..
First of all, there is a noticeable difference in the treatment and support you receive depending on your skills..
Aren't only 40 students assigned to the upper class that properly handles Gigant based on their entrance scores?.
In addition, the top eight students from the upper class were selected and organized into a special class..
It can truly be said to be competency supremacy..
‘So there are much more opportunities in special classes..’
Abel looked around and thought.
Just touring the Wall of Glory today was a benefit that other cadets could not enjoy..
There are times when the entire first year comes on a field trip later, but there is bound to be a big difference between 8 people moving and 40 people moving..
“please come this way!”
As the cadets got off the transport, a soldier in uniform greeted them..
At the soldier's gesture, the cadets walked towards him with a nervous look..
The point they arrived at was right in front of the Wall of Glory, but the wall was not visible because it was covered by another building..
“You can go inside here..”
The soldier guided the cadets in a firm but considerate manner..
‘The mood is still good.’
As Abel walked, he glanced at the surrounding atmosphere..
Although you could see people walking around in a hurry, the atmosphere wasn't too bad..
This is proof that no major incident has occurred yet..
Not long after I walked down the gray hallway, I saw a door in the distance..
When we arrived in front of him, the soldier opened his mouth..
“When you go out that door, look around carefully before walking. If you are distracted, an accident may occur..”
The soldier gave a few more precautions and then grabbed the door handle..
the door opens slowly…….
Noise flew through the open door and penetrated my ears mercilessly..
“Transport objects in direction N2!”
“The damaged aircraft is being evacuated.!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
thud! thud! Cooung-!
Shouting and shaking the ground. And then there's the sound of something exploding, followed by a roar..
The location wasn't that close, but it was enough to feel intimidating..
The cadets automatically flinched, but the soldier spoke in a calm voice..
“It's just loud and not a big deal. Now follow me.”
It wasn't a very convincing statement..
But when the soldier took the lead and started to move, I had no choice but to follow him..
Not long after following the soldier, the cadets looked forward with their mouths wide open, as if wondering when they had stopped moving..
There was a wall where their eyes were directed..
A barrier of enormous length and height is not enough to describe it as huge..
“This is the wall of glory.”
The soldier standing in front spread his hands wide and spoke..
It was quite an exaggerated attitude, but no one cared about it..
That's because the intimidation of the wall in front of you was enormous..
wall of glory.
This was the closest battlefield to the imperial capital and the barrier that protected the capital..
match-!
“Now come this way..”
The soldier clapped his hands to brighten the mood and then began leading the cadets again..
“You must follow carefully. Danger.…….”
Kuung-! thud!
The soldier's last words were drowned out by the roar that immediately followed..
Dozens of Milles were seen moving in a line at a short distance away..
Several times more Titos were following behind them..
When I turned my head again, I saw dozens of damaged Tito planes being moved to one side..
At first, the cadets, who were frozen by the noise and surrounding atmosphere, looked at the huge number of gigants moving around with sparkling eyes..
“This is where Gigant waits..”
The soldier led the cadets at a neither fast nor slow pace and introduced them to the base inside the Wall of Glory..
“This is a place where damaged Gigants are immediately repaired. Dozens of craftsmen are waiting…….”
There was a battle going on outside, but it was difficult to really feel the atmosphere by walking around this place, which was the last in terms of structure..
But the reason the academy sent the special class of cadets here wasn't just for sightseeing..
The soldier, who had been walking around for over an hour and introducing various things, took a break for about 10 minutes and then pointed to one side and said..
“I'm going up there now..”
Eventually we arrived at a tower close to the wall..
It was quite high, so if you climbed to the top, you could clearly see what was beyond the wall..
“I'm going up on this.”
The tower seemed to have been built solely for practical purposes, and as we entered the interior, we saw rough stone steps and gray walls..
The stairs going up were very steep, but fortunately the soldier did not walk up the stairs but to the elevator next to it..
The wizard waiting in the tower approached and injected magic power into the power source.…….
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-.
Soon, the elevator with more than 10 people on it went up in an instant..
And soon after, it stopped again with a vibrating sound..
As soon as the soldier standing at the front stopped, he walked forward and continued to guide..
The top floor we arrived at was rough, but there were tables, chairs, and observation devices arranged there..
There were inactive Titos lined up on one side. And right nearby was something that looked like a round bead..
Abel looked at it and then turned his head forward..
“It's here.”
The soldier walked forward, stopped in front of a large glass window, and spoke. As the place is a place, it won't be ordinary glass..
Abel and the cadets also walked there. and saw.
A gigantic Gigant, incomparable to the Miles class, stood in front of the Wall of Glory..
Also, beyond the wall was a silver sea..
“ah…….”
someone sighed.
It wasn't long ago that they felt intimidated by the blade's tail..
However, over there, fragments of the giant like the blade's tail were rushing in like a tidal wave..
However, there is something out there that is even more frightening than the enormous number of monsters..
Giant God).
They were there, enemies of mankind, disasters, and natural disasters..
A huge body with a height of 16m. Silver armor that covers the entire body. Red eye light emanating from where the eyes would be located.
Some even question the name Geoshin itself. How can monsters be called gods?.
But if you actually saw a giant, you wouldn't dare say such a thing..
There is no name better suited to these giants, who literally boast god-like majesty, than the name Colossus..
“Colossi still pose a great threat to humanity.”
Tania, who was standing behind the cadets who couldn't take their eyes off the window, said.
“Some people say that if the giants had real intelligence, humanity would have been destroyed already..”
“Well, that is... … Is there no such thing as intelligence??”
Lian asked in a slightly frightened voice..
“yes. They do not move with a clear purpose and literally just wander around the continent like a natural disaster..”
Tania answered firmly, as if to appease Lian..
In fact, what she said was common knowledge here..
Most of the giants are located in the far east, and only a few of them escape and wander around the continent..
but that's not true.
Only Abel knows the truth.
The giant god has proper intelligence..
They think like humans and act accordingly..
The countries of the continent, including the empire, thought that the giants would not rise up and invade all at once..
But that's also not true.
3years later.
Colossus begins a massive invasion.
Kingdoms located close to the east are wiped out in an instant, and the empire also suffers a fatal blow..
That is the main story, and at the same time, it is the planned future..
Only Abel knows it. And how to stop it.
‘need to be strong.’
There is no point in becoming strong alone..
The young boys and girls who are with him now will each and every one of them be the hope and light of humanity in the distant future..
Abel must hold it all in his arms and move forward together..
That was the only strategy.
“Phew.”
Abel took a long breath and slowly relaxed..
What you need to worry about now is not the future three years from now..
Because this is the place that presents players with the risk of death..
‘how much is left?’
He looked at the soldier standing at the window with anxious eyes..
The exact timing is unknown..
All I can do is stand there with my body tense so that I can run at any moment..
Daniel, who was standing right next to him, looked at him strangely, but Abel did not look there..
After Tania finished speaking and gave the soldier a moment to look outside, he opened his mouth again..
“Now, this time, here is the observation instrument.…….”
Abel, who was quietly listening to those words, caught something in his eyes. Beyond the large glass window. I saw something like a silver whip flying..
Abel reflexively raised his magic power..
‘Overflow. shadow step.’
My body was thrown backwards as if I was being pulled..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
There was a long roar, like a broken audio system, and I could see one wall slowly bursting open..
Time was passing slowly.
No, his thinking was actually accelerated..
Abel grabbed the body of the soldier who was standing blankly in that slow moment and threw himself away..
Hwii profit!
A whip-like object hit the spot where the soldier was standing, and then he returned to his original position..
Most of the cadets screamed and fled backwards, while a few tried to step forward but were stopped by Tania..
She was the only one here with anything that could be called a weapon..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The whip flew once again.
A magic circle appeared on the glass window for a moment, then disappeared and shattered into pieces..
Abel could not immediately grasp the situation and shouted at the panicked soldier..
“It's a monster attack!”
At those words, the soldier seemed to come to his senses belatedly, looked at the gaping wall, and quickly stood up..
“Everyone please come here!”
The soldier who shouted so hurriedly ran to one wall..
This was where the deactivated Titos were lined up..
The soldier who ran there placed his hand on a bead-like device attached to the wall..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Soon, the cockpit of the Tito Ship, which had been placed like an ornament, was opened all at once..
“This is an emergency, so everyone please board the Gigant.!”
Hearing those words, Abel smiled secretly..
“All according to plan.”
