I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 21
21fury
A silver whip flew through the gaping wall..
“Ouch!”
Ryan screamed and threw himself to the side..
Kwaang-!
Immediately after that, a silver whip struck the spot where Ryan was standing..
If it had been just a little bit later, Ryan would have lost his life..
In such a confusing situation, a message appeared before Abel's eyes..
[Sudden quest ‘Escape’ activated!]
[Get out of the tower alive!]
[Upon completing the quest, the ‘Reliable Supporter’ event occurs as a reward.!]
[Additional compensation will be given if no deaths occur during the escape process.!]
damn quest.
Abel cursed inwardly as the feast of messages momentarily obscured his vision and increased his running speed..
Now is not the time to leisurely check the contents of the quest..
“move fast!”
Hearing Tania's voice shouting from behind, Abel crouched down and jumped high..
Shut up!
Abel's body lands in Tito's cockpit..
It wasn't a smooth landing, but Abel quickly crumpled into the cockpit and worked on his core at the same time..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
As soon as magical energy was injected into the core, the cockpit armor closed..
Abel immediately closed his eyes and raised the tuning rate..
The magic power that surged from the body circulated between the core and Abel's body, awakening the sleeping giant..
Cooung-!
Soon Tito landed with both feet..
Perhaps because it was half used for decoration, the joints were stiff and there was no special armament, but Tito was Tito..
Abel moved Tito without thinking for a long time..
The goal is none other than right in front of you.
This was where Tania was standing..
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Tania was holding a sword and slashing away the whips that were digging into the tower..
If she hadn't been a strong warrior before Rider, one or two of the cadets here would have already been seriously injured..
But I couldn't expect Tania to completely resolve the situation..
No matter how powerful a warrior she was, the sword she was holding was an ordinary iron sword, and she did not have any auxiliary weapons..
In fact, it was almost like a bare body..
‘The compatibility is not good.’
Abel observed the monster visible through the gap in the wall..
It was a round sphere with dozens of whip-like tentacles attached to it..
As he remembered, the characteristic features of the 'Colossus Fragment' were freely moving tentacles and an incredibly strong body..
No matter how powerful a warrior is, it is difficult to inflict proper damage with a bare iron sword..
In addition, Tania had to protect the other cadets, so she had no choice but to be put on the defensive..
Therefore, Abel moved Tito and got between them without hesitation..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
While I was trying to force myself to intervene, a whip hit my shoulder, but the impact wasn't that great because I crouched down and let the attack go..
When fighting Gigant, Gigant has his own fighting method..
There is no such thing as apperception in Gigant..
Although you suffer mental damage if you suffer major damage, it doesn't mean you feel the same pain as if you were hit once..
As long as it wasn't completely destroyed in one go, it was worth holding on to..
“I will block this place.!”
Abel shouted at Tania..
Therefore, you need to move more boldly when fighting Gigant..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The whip passed right over Tito's head and hit the wall..
If he had made a mistake, it would have been an attack that would have blown his head off, but Abel didn't even blink..
bang!
Kwaaang!
Block, shed, avoid.
Abel did not give in to the fierce attack and quickly closed the distance between the giant fragments..
“Everybody get on board! hurry!”
Meanwhile, Tania fell back and got on Tito while encouraging the other cadets..
‘done.’
Now there is no one left between that monster and Abel..
This means you don't have to worry about anyone else..
“Haaaaaap-!”
Abel deliberately shouted to attract the monster's attention..
The monster seemed to be stimulated by this and swung its tentacles at a faster pace..
On the outside, Abel seemed in danger, but in reality, it wasn't so..
Because everyone was slowly getting on Tito and trying to join Abel..
When others join, it only takes a moment for the tide to turn..
The monster must have noticed this too, as it suddenly moved its round body instead of swinging its whip..
Whoa whoa-!
Then the middle of the body opened wide and some kind of eye appeared..
The moment Abel met those eyes, his body stiffened..
An unprecedented energy bound Abel’s body..
-This dirty family!
Aiming for that opportunity, the whips all flew towards Abel..
Abel felt that the monster seemed strangely happy..
But that was a hasty feeling..
Grumbling-!
Suddenly, strong flames spewed out from the cockpit, blocking the front part of Tito..
Demitri's flame, which was received as a quest reward earlier, activated automatically and formed a fire shield..
Hwareuk!
The whip couldn't pierce that intense flame..
“Now it's my turn.”
Abel, who was later freed from paralysis, smiled and used the shadow step..
Seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Abel's body slid forward..
The monster tried to swing its tentacles too late, but Abel had already arrived right in front of him..
Quad Deuk!
Abel just hugged the monster’s body..
It is difficult to deal with that monster without any weapons. In a normal way.
Of course, Abel had no intention of dealing with the monster in a normal way..
Cooung!
Abel tightly hugged the wildly struggling monster and turned around..
Tania, riding Tito, was standing there..
Without Abel having to say anything, she lunged forward and held out her fist..
That fist had an eerie red color..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A deafening noise.
The monster's body, which had been struggling like crazy in Abel's arms, went limp..
It was immediately after that that a message appeared before my eyes..
[The challenge ‘Defeating Intermediate Colossus Fragments’ has been achieved..]
[As a reward, you will be given the ‘Thunder Spear’ skill..]
The compensation was more generous than expected..
But there was no time to be happy about it.
“Huh, huh.”
Abel was breathing heavily..
A strong headache hit my head..
It was a side effect of expending a huge amount of magical power and mental power to stop the monster's struggle at the last moment..
It's only because Tania came forward quickly, otherwise I would have already been rolling on the floor..
-Abel!
At that time, someone touched Abel's shoulder, who was suffering from a headache..
It was Daniel..
-are you okay?
-it's crazy? What should I do if something goes wrong??
Next, Hena also approached while riding a Gigant and fired something at Abel. Her voice was full of worry..
-Uh oh.
Abel answered in a weak voice and looked around to understand the situation..
The first thing I saw was the corpse of another monster nearby..
I didn't realize it because I was concentrating on the battle, but it seemed like another monster invaded during the battle..
Daniel noticed his gaze and spoke quickly..
“The soldier over there took care of that. Oh, and you said elevators are dangerous, so you go down through the stairs..”
The fragments of the giant that targeted this tower were not limited to one or two..
Rather, the ones we just faced were like a detachment, and the main force was concentrated on the ground and the lower levels of the tower..
-Phew. I feel better now.
Abel told them it was okay and stood on his own. They both looked at him with anxious expressions, but didn't say anything because the situation was different..
Abel walked to Tania with the two of them..
-We need to get out as quickly as possible.
-Abel.
Tania looked at Abel with a subtle expression..
From a teacher's perspective, he would have to harshly scold a cadet for his dangerous behavior, but if Abel had not acted quickly, the damage would have been much greater..
In particular, I was impressed by his calm judgment and aircraft control, which were unusual for a cadet..
Before being a teacher, Tania was a rider with considerable experience, so she quickly gathered her thoughts and opened her mouth..
-okay. As you said, the first thing to do is to get out of here. The situation is unusual.
If you only look at the superficial situation, it may actually be a more dangerous action to force your way out of the tower..
Isn’t this a wall of glory lined with great soldiers and riders?.
Rationally speaking, it would have been much safer to wait for them to clean up the fragments of the Colossus in the lower levels and come to the rescue..
However, Tania decided to escape after confirming that the sight seen through the gap in the wall was unusual..
Abel also knew what the current situation was, so he nodded without saying anything..
‘There is no support anyway.’
Originally, reinforcements would have arrived as soon as the incident occurred, but that was not the case now..
And Abel knew very well why.
This was because a special entity had attached itself to this tower and was spreading a barrier that inhibited perception and blocked noise..
The only thing stopping the monster that attacked the lower level of the tower was the troops that originally guarded the tower..
‘There is a high possibility that the outside world is completely unaware of the current situation of the tower..’
The appearance of a unique entity and the strange behavior of a titan were something the empire could not have imagined..
No, actually, it would have been the same for anyone..
The current situation was so out of common sense that it was similar to a dog raised at home suddenly walking on two feet and speaking human language..
Starting today, many things will change.
Abel took one of the magical power boosters he had prepared separately and then looked at Tania..
Tania looked away from Abel and looked at the other cadets..
-Everyone, please come to your senses. Let's move after reorganizing the ranks..
Perhaps because she had already kissed the soldier, the line was decided with Tania at the front, the soldier at the back, and the cadets in between..
Tania then spoke in a tense voice..
-All I can think about is getting out of here alive..
-yes.
They started going down the tower.
* * *
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Cooung-!
As I went down the stairs, a bloody roar and a crash sound pierced my ears..
Even though I was inside the tower, I could roughly guess what the situation was like outside..
But there was no time to worry about the situation outside..
In terms of risk, this place is not that easy..
-the sound…….
Henna, who was standing right behind Abel, muttered in an anxious voice..
Abel was already feeling it too..
The noise coming from below is gradually decreasing. And what it meant was clear.
The monsters that attacked the tower have been almost eliminated..
Or, it is said that the troops guarding the tower are on the verge of being annihilated..
Thump, thump, thump.
Tito lined up and went down the stairs..
Nothing happened until we got halfway down..
However, about 5 minutes later, May, who had been quiet, opened her mouth..
-come.
Instead of being sleepy like usual, May's voice was sharp and sharp..
And those words contained the obvious truth.
kagak-.
sound of scratching on the wall.
something was coming up.
Tania paused, raising her hand..
The stairs were quite wide, but it wasn't a good place for a fight..
Even though Tito is not as huge as the riding type, it is well over 3 meters tall..
Kagagak-.
kagak.
But they had no chance to choose the battlefield they wanted, and the sound got closer and closer..
Abel listened to the sound and awakened all his senses..
And when the sound suddenly stopped. After counting to three in his head, Abel shouted:.
-Lie down!
Some people reflexively bowed to the shout, and those who did not, Abel himself pulled them up with both hands..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
It was immediately after that that one wall burst..
A sharp thorn-like object scratched the wall, causing stone fragments to fall down..
Some people groaned as they were hit by falling stone fragments, but Abel didn't care and shouted..
-Run! right now!
Abel shouted and pushed those standing in front of him. There was no time to kindly explain in words..
Everyone was shocked but quickly ran downward..
Kwaaang!
bang!
Kwaaang!
Immediately after that, the wall on the side where they were standing exploded simultaneously..
“Kiriririk!”
A new monster emerges between the burst walls. A ‘spider’ has appeared.
“Kiaaaaa-!”
A life-threatening chase begins with the screams of spiders..
