I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 26
26fury
“But, Abel. What is your true identity??”
for a moment.
Abel felt cold sweat running down his back..
‘true identity?’
The pressure that was pressing on him all the time was preventing his head from working properly..
I had no idea what Magnus' intention was with his question..
But Abel did not let go of his spirit and opened his mouth..
“I'm an orphan living on the streets..”
Once I opened my mouth, it was easy after that..
“I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to learn at the academy. Is it possible that my low status is the problem??”
“what? No way!”
Magnus hurriedly uttered a denial, and at the same time, the pressure disappeared as if it had been washed away..
“When it comes to selecting outstanding talent, which is our goal for Del Modor Academy, status is not important! I didn't ask that question in the first place.!”
Abel was not relieved when he heard Magnus' panicked voice..
Because I experienced it once.
He started talking in a flashy manner, but then suddenly became intimidating and asked a difficult question..
There was a high probability that the current appearance was deliberately staged..
Therefore, Abel responded with an even more exaggerated and moved expression..
“okay! thank you!”
“Okay, okay. The conversation seems to have taken a strange turn, but this is what I wanted to ask:.”
Magnus again asked Abel a question with a serious expression..
“Have you ever received separate Gigant operation or other training before??”
“If it's training... … . I have received instruction a few times while traveling the streets..”
“Oh, to whom?”
“Typically, they are mercenaries or retired soldiers. They were regulars at the bar where I worked..”
“……Right.”
In response, Magnus nodded with a subtle expression..
“Actually, it was a courtesy question. Because the investigation was already completed before admission was granted..”
“Is that so?”
“okay. In the future... … No, it's already getting a lot of attention. He was not only talented, but he also made great achievements..”
“That's too much praise..”
“Excessive praise. The important thing is that in the future, you will receive more support as you contribute..”
Magnus continued:.
“So, let’s point this out more clearly. Do you understand what it means??”
“yes. understand.”
The meaning was very simple.
Magnus mentioned the possibility that Abel was a spy or something else..
‘Although the empire is a powerful country, it does not mean that there are no countries that can compete with it..’
The last great war greatly changed the landscape of the continent..
The Empire is still considered the most powerful nation, but it is no longer as invincible as it was before the Great War..
In particular, as the time is right now, they will be paying more attention to talent leaks and the presence of spies..
‘I don't think that's all, but.’
Of course, Abel wasn't stupid enough to voice such doubts..
After saying that Magnus was just asking out of courtesy and that there was no need to worry too much, he opened his mouth again..
“good. Now, it's time to get to the point. As the semester is currently in session, there will be no separate commendations awarded..”
“yes.”
It was expected.
Even the imperial family has no intention of making this a big deal any more..
“Instead, there are two prizes for you. One is activity expenses..”
“Do you mean activity fee??”
“okay. At the academy, cadets who show outstanding performance are paid an activity fee to encourage them to work harder. It is rare for cases to be decided this early..”
Magnus told Abel that he would be paid monthly activity fees from now on, and that he could freely use it for whatever purpose he wanted..
“And the second one is this.”
What Magnus handed over next was none other than a silver ‘tile’..
As soon as Abel saw it, he recognized its identity and his eyes sparkled..
“This……?”
“You have permission to use the personal training center..”
Magnus explained simply:.
“By convention, personal training grounds are not given to first year students. However, if you have outstanding talent and have made great achievements, the story is different..”
The personal training center that Magnus is talking about here is not a place where you can swing a sword with your bare body..
It is a training ground where you can operate Gigant..
As he said earlier, originally, first year was a privilege that could never be enjoyed..
Magnus added a word to it:.
“Of course, you can receive other materials or weapons if you wish. If you push yourself a little too hard, you might be able to study under a vision..”
“no. Thank you very much.”
“is it?”
At Abel's firm answer, Magnus smiled as if he knew that would happen and pushed the training hall pass toward Abel..
If it had not been for this situation, Abel would have cheered..
The value of the ‘training ground’ was that high. Much better than mediocre materials, weapons, or even vision..
“good. Well, let’s end our conversation here today..”
“All right.”
Magnus got up from his seat and Abel followed him..
“Well, I'll look forward to it..”
“thank you.”
Abel said hello to Magnus and left the principal's office..
“You came out. Let me guide you to the first floor..”
Outside, Bern, who guided him to the principal's office, was waiting..
Abel followed him and fiddled with the pass in his pocket..
I was excited to use this as soon as possible, but my excitement was short-lived..
Abel thought as he went down the stairs..
‘I guess I'll have to be careful for now..’
Magnus said it was a question asked as a courtesy, but that couldn't be true..
‘That would have been the main point in the first place..’
If the intention was simply to give praise and compensation, Magnus would not have stepped forward in person..
The position of principal of an academy is not an easy position..
In other words, it means that Magnus was called from the beginning to interrogate Abel..
The good news was that there really wasn't much to suspect..
If there had been any clear suspicion, they would have been taken to the interrogation room, not the principal's office..
I don't intend to stop being noticed because of this incident, but I needed to refrain from doing anything that could raise unnecessary suspicion..
‘Well, nothing much happens for the time being..’
Abel tried to shake off the heavy thoughts and continued walking..
* * *
After a one-week rest period.
The class went on as scheduled.
“Everyone, don’t stop and run! It's so bad that I took a week off.!”
Boyle, the physical training professor, contorted his face and shouted..
“Except for the top three, they run ten more laps.!”
At those words, the cadets gathered all their strength and ran..
But even so, the top three were already decided..
“Huh, huh.”
“good! Daniel! Go over there and rest.!”
Daniel was the first to cross the finish line..
Daniel lowered his head slightly, breathing evenly, as if he wasn't particularly tired..
At that time, Abel crossed the finish line for the second time..
In a short period of time, Abel's physical strength increased significantly..
It's not that I neglected training before entering school, but the academy was truly the best place to train..
All I had to do was train all the time except during class time..
2It was thanks to him that I crossed the finish line with my back..
“Huh, huh. professor.”
“huh?”
Abel took a deep breath and said to Boyle:.
“Can I run a little more? I feel like it's still not enough.”
“I'll run a little more?”
At that question, Boyle widened his eyes and raised his hand..
“You really are a great cadet! very good! Run as much as you want.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Abel lowered his head slightly when he felt Boyle's thick hand patting his shoulder, and then started running again..
“professor! I will run more too!”
“okay!”
Then I heard Daniel shouting enthusiastically from behind..
The third cadet who had just arrived was looking at them like they were crazy..
There was a good reason why Abel started running again even though his physical strength was almost at an end..
This was because I knew the system of the possessed game too well to use any tricks..
In this game, all abilities increase better when pushed to the limit..
The fact that my physical strength was on the verge of rising also played a role..
‘Just a little more, just a little more…….’
Abel kept running and running..
Even though one after another the cadets were eliminated in the top three, he did not stop..
In the end, only Abel and Daniel were running on the playground..
“Are they really crazy people??”
“It's something that's hard to do if you're sane... … . It's hard for me to even lift a finger.”
The other cadets clicked their tongues as they looked at the two..
But unlike Daniel, who was truly a monster, Abel was slowly reaching his limit..
No matter how strong your will is, there are limits..
Just when I was wondering if I should give up.
[Physical strength has increased by one grade..]
A message appeared before Abel’s eyes. He checked it and ran with the last of his strength..
And as soon as I reached the finish line, I stopped in my tracks..
“Huh, huh, huh.”
“Abel! Good job!”
Boyle praised Abel in a loud voice. And she shouted for the other cadets to listen.
“The important thing in physical training is will! will! Like Abel here…….”
Abel listened to Boyle's voice with one ear and let it out with the other, and quietly opened a status window in front of him..
[Abel]
[Race: Human]
[Physical Grade: C]
[Tuning rate: S]
[Horsepower: C]
[Periodont: Lupus]
[Skills: Lightning Spear, Overflow, Shadow Step, Double Attack, Beginner Gigant……]
At first glance, the status window didn't seem to make much difference..
But when Abel stared at the 'Body Class' item for a few seconds, a new window appeared..
[Physical Grade: C]
-Stamina: C
-Strength: C
-Quickness: B
-Flexibility: C
-……
It was the details of the abilities..
Every ability is made up of many details, and the grade tells you the average level..
Among them, the physical strength grade has just increased from D to C grade..
‘If I do well, I might be able to raise it to B grade by the end of this semester..’
Abel straightened his bent upper body with a faint smile..
“Now, everyone applaud Abel.!”
Meanwhile, Boyle was telling the cadets to clap their hands, wondering what he was talking about..
“Wow…….”
Of course, there was no way the exhausted cadets would respond enthusiastically to Boyle's boring speech..
In any case, Boyle seemed to be in a better mood after seeing Abel's tenacity and ended the lecture earlier than scheduled..
Abel took advantage of the distraction of attention to himself and took out the stamina recovery medicine he had prepared in advance..
“Whoa whoa.”
My body, which had been heavy like wet cotton, quickly became light..
It wasn't completely better, but at least it didn't interfere with movement..
But then. Daniel, who played with Abel until the end, approached..
“Abel!”
“huh?”
“The lecture ended early. I want to go to the training ground.?”
Abel looked at Daniel with a puzzled expression..
‘Is he really a monster??’
Even if he had taken a stamina recovery potion, there was no way Daniel could have had such a thing..
In other words, it means that you really still have stamina left..
It was truly abnormal physical strength..
Abel shook his head and answered.
“no. I have somewhere to go.”
“Where to go? Where are you??”
“There is a place like that. See you later at meal time..”
Abel answered appropriately and took the first step. The place he was heading to was the personal training center..
It was my first time going there because of my lecture schedule..
Of course, I didn't just go there for sightseeing purposes..
Abel walked quickly and put his hand into his chest. Then I felt something heavy..
It was the box containing the heart of a giant..
Today he was planning to transplant the heart of a giant into Lupus..
