I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 23

23fury

The attack on the Wall of Glory had a huge impact on the empire, as Abel expected..

This is because the enemy was so powerful that it was difficult to handle, nor was the defense particularly weak..

The appearance of an entity with special abilities that has never been discovered before. And the fact that the gap was intelligently poked.

This meant that the future strategy of dealing with the giants and their forces had to be completely changed from the ground up..

So even after a few days, the confusion still persisted..

Abel received a few days of rest along with other special class cadets after hearing that he would receive a big reward later..

Up to this point, it was as expected..

But there was also something that Abel did not expect..

‘It's incredibly burdensome.’

Blazing red hair. Likewise, a red beard..

Bulky eyes and enormous muscles visible even through clothes. And even a scary look.

Because he looked so impressive, it wasn't hard to recognize who he was..

Abel cautiously opened his mouth..

“……It is an honor to meet you, Duke del Chior..”

Duke of Del Chior.

He was the owner of the Duchy of Del Chior and Henna's father..

‘Why on earth…….’

What Abel never expected.

That was a private meeting with the duke..

Coming to the academy itself wasn't that strange..

Because the duke was famous for having a great daughter..

So, it was quite imaginable that he came running a month after hearing that his only daughter was close to death..

‘The problem is why did you single me out and ask for a private meeting?.’

Abel looked at Duke Del Chior with nervous eyes..

“hmm.”

The Duke stroked his beard, looked at Abel, and then opened his mouth..

“Did you say Abel Klein?.”

“That's right.”

“I heard you had a lot of credit for this. They say if it wasn't for you, the damage would have been great..”

“that… … I just did the best I could under those circumstances..”

Abel stuttered for a moment, but fortunately he was able to answer politely..

The duke was silent again for a moment, then suddenly took out something and placed it on the table..

“Huh. I look forward to your future activities as well. this is my personal gift.”

“ah… … thank you.”

Abel was embarrassed by the sudden situation, but he answered in time..

But what was even more embarrassing was what happened next..

As soon as the duke heard Abel's answer, he stood up..

“then. I'll see you later when I get a chance.”

Then, don't you just open the door and go out?.

Abel looked blankly at the back and thought..

‘Why did you call me??’

I felt like my head was frozen in an incomprehensible situation..

Abel scratched his cheek and then thoughtlessly opened the pouch that was on the table..

And soon, a passionate exclamation flowed from his mouth..

“woah. crazy.”

It was full of gold coins..

*       *       *

It was surprisingly easy to understand why the Duke of Del Chior had asked for a private treat and why he had suddenly given him a bag of gold coins..

Not long after I finished my private meeting with the duke, Henna came to visit..

“Phew. Dad really didn't say anything strange.?”

“uh. But can I really just accept this??”

“what. It was given to you to use, so of course you can take it. I wish I hadn't said anything weird.”

Hena said that and left, saying she had to go catch her father..

This is what Henna said when she suddenly came to me after finishing her solo service..

After the Wall of Glory incident, Hena spoke with the Duke and told him about Abel's activities..

Upon hearing this, the duke showed great interest, and as soon as he arrived at the academy, he asked Abel to speak to him alone..

Abel thought as he looked at the back of Henna walking slowly in the distance..

‘You have a similar personality to a peacock..’

They are particularly similar in that they just say what they have to say and then quickly walk away..

Abel looked at the bag in his hand and put it in his arms first..

It was a good thing because the more money the better..

Although we received some support from the Klein family, it was of course nice to have a lot of money at our disposal..

‘I happened to have a place to spend money, so it worked out well..’

Abel thought so and walked slowly..

As soon as I woke up, I only took a shower and had a private meeting with the Duke, so I was hungry..

He went to the cafeteria with the intention of having a meal first, but as soon as he entered, the eyes of the cadets who were eating were focused on him..

There was a lot of attention before, but now nothing compares to then..

Because this time, the scale was different..

‘I have to get used to it.’

I had no intention of feeling burdened or flattered by this..

Compared to Abel's plans and goals, this incident is only a small thing..

“Abel!”

He put the food on his plate and was looking for a seat when someone called him..

I turned my head and saw Daniel waving his hand. It seemed like he deliberately waited until the food was served before calling..

Charlotte and Lian were sitting next to him..

Abel walked over and sat down in the empty seat..

“I'm feeling okay?”

As soon as we sat down, Daniel asked a question..

Abel nodded..

“uh. so so.”

After the battle, Abel fainted. It was because he used all the power he had or didn't have..

It was natural to be worried since he woke up a full 12 hours after falling like that..

Even though I received top-notch treatment, my body was so damaged that there were still aftereffects.…….

But fortunately, he was completely fine now. This is because I received a cure as an additional reward from the quest..

Abel stabbed a large piece of meat with a fork and asked politely..

“you?”

“I'm fine too. I'm a little sore because I couldn't train..”

This is not an empty remark; Daniel seemed fine at first glance. He must have been overexerting himself during the fight.

Of course, Abel knew why.

‘I'm jealous.’

Daniel has tremendous vitality beyond his monster-like physical strength..

The fact that he looks energetic even after training like crazy means it's not just his personality..

‘So Daniel's characteristic was also indomitable..’

It was an S-class trait that had various effects..

While Abel was thinking this, Charlotte, who was sitting next to him, said something..

“If you tell me to rest, I should rest well. My whole body still aches.”

“that's right… … . I think I'm going to die.”

Lian also added a word from the side..

The two seemed to be in worse condition than Abel. He was writhing with bandages wrapped all over his body..

Abel would probably have been in a similar situation if he hadn't taken the treatment separately..

‘Still, I'm glad I got a break..’

All cadets of the special class who were on site at the time were forced to rest until two days later..

An order has been given that training is absolutely prohibited and that you must rest and recuperate at all costs..

Daniel was muttering something about being frustrated, then looked at Abel and said,.

“By the way, he said he was going out today.?”

“uh. To go out for a moment.”

Originally, going out was only allowed on weekends, but now classes have been temporarily suspended due to the past incident..

This is not just because of the special class cadets, but also because many of the teachers were summoned..

There are many teachers who have retired from active duty, but most of them were active during the last great war..

In other words, it means that there is a lot of experience dealing with giants..

‘It's not an incident that has anything to do with the Academy..’

Anyway, it gave Abel a chance to go out..

Of course, not all cadets had the right to go out freely..

Abel was credited with the work and only received special permission at his own strong request..

While he was lost in his thoughts for a moment, Daniel and others began to say something again..

“Maybe I should have applied to go out too. Ugh.”

“Don't go out and cause trouble, stay in the dormitory..”

“What accident did I do??”

Abel continued eating quietly amidst the squabbles between them..

He was the last to sit down, but he was also the first to get up..

“I go first.”

“Uh, uh.”

After returning the dishes and being seen off, Abel left the cafeteria and headed straight out of the dormitory..

I already took everything I needed when I left in the morning, so there was no need to stop by my room separately..

As I came out of the dormitory, I saw cadets walking around the school in groups of twos and threes..

“Hey, over there.”

“uh? That's him, right??”

Just like when he entered the restaurant, many eyes and voices were directed at him, but Abel didn't care and just walked along the street..

The academy is so large that it took quite a while to get to the main gate..

It was a very short distance compared to where I wanted to stop today..

“Are you here?.”

The good news was that I didn't have to walk to my destination..

A carriage sent by Count Klein was waiting at the main gate..

The Count personally sent a carriage for today's outing..

Abel greeted the driver politely..

“yes. i look forward to.”

“Please take care of me.”

After a short conversation, Abel got into the carriage and told them his destination..

“Well then, let's go.”

Soon the carriage began to move slowly..

*       *       *

The place where the carriage stopped after leaving the academy for a long time was quite remote..

“Im here.”

“yes. thank you.”

Abel got out of the carriage and looked around the familiar street..

“Then I'll be back..”

“yes. I'll be waiting here.”

After talking with the coachman, Abel walked slowly..

It was a bit far from the destination..

It was because I intentionally asked to be dropped off a little far away from the destination..

I didn't want to attract attention, but I also wanted to walk a little..

‘It's the same here.’

This was the street where Abel lived all his life..

The streets were no different than they were before he left..

Actually, it was natural. Even if it changes in just one month, how much will it change?.

Even though it was midday, the streets were full of people lying around drunk or drunk, and there were people glaring at Abel with bloodshot, red eyes..

“Shut up…….”

Abel walked inside, listening to the drunkard's moans with one ear and letting them out with the other..

If someone who doesn't know anything walks into this street, they won't see anything good..

But no one was hasty in approaching Abel..

This is because I deliberately maintained a sharp momentum from the moment I got off the carriage..

He knew it well because he was a part of this street not long ago..

No matter how low life is, there is no one who risks his life to play games..

Caen, Caang-!

After walking for a while, I heard the sound of metal hitting from afar..

Abel grinned at that familiar sound..

As I walked to the place where I heard the sound, I saw a huge building that was incomparable to the shabby buildings around it..

I'm used to tall buildings now, but when I first saw that building, my mouth dropped..

Abel looked up at the workshop building and recalled memories of the past..

When I first met Vulcan.

‘I asked why a wealthy man settled in a place like this..’

Vulcan's answer to that was simple..

‘A real customer is someone who comes to a workshop in a place like this. I have no intention of receiving any chaff..’

Abel had an absurd expression on his face..

Abel smiled and walked to the workshop..

kacang-!

The closer we got, the louder the sound of the hammer became. The name of the workshop was written above the large door..

‘Vulcan's Workshop’

It's a very simple name..

Without hesitation, Abel approached the building, opened the door, and went inside..

The first thing I saw was a wooden checkout counter and a woman standing there..

“welcome… … oh!”

She spoke in a tone full of annoyance, but when she saw Abel, her eyes widened..

“Abel?”

“huh. Long time no see.”

“What do you say to your sister? They told me to be respectful..”

Even though the woman grumbled, she did not hide her expression of joy..

Her name is Kaya. She is an employee of the workshop..

My job is to receive customers. Being annoying when guests come. If you're bored, spread out and go to sleep..

Abel wondered why she wasn't cut, and the reason was as simple as it was boring..

Because Kaya is the daughter of Vulcan..

Abel smiled and said to Kaya.

“okay. I'll try. Inspiration is?”

“It's inside. Come in.”

“I'm not mad at you for interfering with my work.?”

“Since when did you care about that?.”

“That's right.”

Abel giggled and nodded at Kaya's harsh answer..

The only person in the workshop who was similar in age to him was Kaya, so he had a close relationship with her..

Kaya said, waving at Abel as he headed inside..

“Come back alive.”

“I'll try my best.”

Abel also waved and went inside. As she went inside the door, she felt the heat growing stronger..

Then I heard people talking..

The Vulcan Workshop has as many people as it is large..

Inside, large men were walking around busily, and one of them opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Abel..

“Uh, Abel!”

“It's Abel?”

Since they had been working for a while, they waved their hands from where they were working and showed a happy expression..

“It's been a while everyone!”

Abel received a proper greeting and continued walking inward and inward..

As I arrived at the innermost part of the workshop, I finally saw the person I had come to meet..

“Inspiration.”

Kang, Kang, Kaang-!

Instead of an answer, a sharp noise penetrated my earholes..

Abel crossed his arms as he watched Vulcan hammering and sweating profusely..

Vulcan only raised his head after hammering for almost ten minutes..

“You came quickly too.”

Abel answered Vulcan's question with a smile..

“Did you receive the item safely??”

“okay. Otherwise, I would have told you not to disturb me and to come back later..”

He also answered with a grin..

Vulcan is an excellent craftsman. And like any good craftsman, he is fascinated by rare materials..

Abel asked me to move all the Telesium that was torn from Kaul last time here..

“What on earth are you trying to make by using 11kg of telesium?.”

“Isn’t that already decided?.”

Abel came up with the answer he had thought of in advance..

“weapon. Also, please use a huge two-handed sword..”

Abel wanted solid offensive power..
