I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 28
28fury
Abel got off the gigant and walked while looking at the letters on the wall and thinking..
‘It's like this in real life.’
Abel thought he had gotten used to life here, but there were times when he was surprised like this..
A world where magic has developed instead of science.
In some ways, technological development is surprisingly slow and there are many inconveniences, but on the other hand, things that were impossible on Earth were considered everyday life here..
Abel walked to the door and held his pass to the door..
Wow-!
Then the door opened by itself with a faint reverberation of magical power..
What appeared through the open door was Abel's patron, Count Klein, with impressive red hair..
“It's been a while.”
Scarlett smiled and greeted me first..
Abel immediately bowed politely according to etiquette..
“yes. It's been a while, Count..”
“okay. Can I come in??”
“of course.”
Scarlett, who asked for permission, took steps inside in response to Abel's answer..
Scarlett's outfit was quite different from when I saw her at the mansion earlier..
She is a nobleman who leads a family and is also a professor at the academy..
If what I saw before was biased toward the former, now it was clearly closer to the latter..
The hair was tied up and the outfit emphasized practicality..
After looking around the inside of the training hall, Scarlett shifted her gaze back to Abel and asked..
“Do you like the personal training center??”
“yes. I like it very much.”
“If so, you're lucky..”
Abel realized something new through Scarlett's flowing words..
‘Count Klein influenced the award of a personal training center..’
Abel's achievement this time was clearly remarkable, but even considering that, the personal training center was a reward that exceeded expectations..
However, assuming that Scarlett's breath was involved, it made sense..
Abel quickly gathered his thoughts and immediately lowered his head and said:.
“thank you.”
“You're still quick-witted. But it's okay to say thank you. After all, it is a reward for your outstanding achievements..”
Scarlett smiled and answered in a light tone. And this time she walked over to Lupus and told her story..
“The aircraft has just standard specifications, but the balance is good. Looks like you did a good job in the workshop. What about armament? It must be tricky to handle.”
“Although he still needs a lot of practice, I feel that he is an excellent weapon..”
“Hmm. If you already know how to use two weapons at the same time, you'll get used to it quickly. It's worth giving as a reward.”
“thank you.”
Abel answered without any sign of surprise..
Scarlett is his patron and also a professor at the academy..
In other words, it means that while there is a lot of interest in Abel, it is also easy to learn about what happened within the academy..
‘That's why I approached you in the first place..’
From Abel's point of view, the more interest Scarlett, his sponsor, received, the better..
Even though she wasn't particularly merciful, she was a person who treated talented people well..
Scarlett only got to the point after asking a few more questions..
“I'd like to see you activate the Gigant once..”
“yes. I'll show you right away.”
“I'm not looking forward to it.”
Abel walked straight toward Rufus' cockpit, and Scarlett moved to a suitable corner..
Abel then activated Lupus through the same process as before..
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Looking at the surroundings through Rufus, the training ground, which seemed spacious, felt small..
Abel slightly turned his head and saw Scarlett standing in the corner..
When she saw that Abel had completely finished maneuvering, she waved her hand lightly..
‘It means move..’
Abel understood the meaning without difficulty and walked slowly..
Thump, thump, thump, thump-!
The movements of Rufus, controlled by Abel, were quite natural..
All he could do was walk, but with just that, Scarlett could clearly see Abel's skills..
“That's amazing.”
Scarlett let out a small exclamation..
Controlling a Gigant is completely different from moving the body yourself..
No matter how excellent your Ilshin ability is, if you do not have talent on the Gigant side, you will not be able to demonstrate your original ability..
In that sense, Abel's talent related to Gigant was 'real'..
“People without talent can't even walk properly even if they practice for a year.…….”
Scarlett muttered, stroking her chin..
In the past, in the early days when Gigant was developed, Gigant was the exclusive property of knights..
It was thought that a person who was originally good at fighting would naturally be good at gigantic combat..
But as time passed and research progressed, it turned out that this was definitely not the case..
Their talents are completely different..
Of course, in order to become a proper Gigant Rider, both talents must be above a certain level..
Scarlett's eyes sparkled as she watched Abel walking inside the training grounds..
At that time, Abel was deep in thought..
‘After transplanting the giant's heart, his movements became much smoother..’
Abel's movements became much more natural, of course, thanks to his improved skills, but the effect of the Heart of the Giant was also a factor that could not be ignored..
The Heart of the Colossus influenced Gigant in many ways..
There are abilities that need to be activated separately, such as active skills, but I was able to deeply feel their impact even in basic operations like now..
That's why Abel could feel it.
I know that now I will be able to run faster, demonstrate more strength, and continue fighting for a long time..
‘In this situation, you can achieve the same results as last class with just one weapon..’
It was natural for a satisfied smile to form on Abel's lips..
Although he wanted to check the effect by moving a little more vigorously, Abel did not forget that he was not alone..
At that time, Scarlett, who was quietly watching from a corner, waved her arms and gave the next command..
It was a movement where the arm was raised high and then slightly bent back to point towards the back..
Abel immediately understood what it meant..
‘That means you should try using the armament on your back..’
Abel immediately stopped walking and infused magical power into his core..
‘Image’ is important when activating armament..
You have to use your magic power while remembering exactly what weapon to use..
Otherwise, the weapon may not be deployed at all, and in severe cases, the wrong weapon may pop out or the movement may be completely distorted..
But Abel didn't worry about that at all..
Because two weapons have already been activated simultaneously..
The magic power that Abel poured into it spread rapidly throughout the aircraft and then gathered to one point..
Tsukuuung!
Then the armament on the back reacted. The sturdy cover opens to reveal a blue gem nestled inside..
The changes didn't end there.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Along with an unusual magical response, blue light erupted around the area..
The light seemed to spread around and completely enveloped Lupus..
Abel remembered the name as he saw the light around him..
‘Guardian's Shield.’
That was the name of the third commander..
The first weapon, Blessing of Wind, is related to mobility, and the second weapon, Sage's Crown, is focused on senses..
As its name suggests, the Guardian's Shield was focused on defense..
Although he had not yet tested it himself, Abel knew the approximate performance..
‘I withstood at least two full-force attacks from a Miles-class Gigant..’
In addition, it was able to withstand much more minor attacks that were not all-powerful..
Considering that the horsepower required to operate the weapon was not that great, it was an amazing performance..
‘Although it is lacking compared to other weapons,.’
If we were to rank the Scarlet Three-piece set based on its basic performance, it could be said to be the Crown of the Wise, the Blessing of the Wind, and the Shield of the Guardian..
The Wise Man's Crown has unrivaled performance that is difficult to replace with other weapons, and Wind's Blessing is also a fairly high tier among mobility-related weapons..
On the other hand, it was difficult to say that the basic performance of the Guardian's Shield was top-notch..
But that wasn't a big problem.
‘But it's easy to upgrade.’
The reason the Scarlet Three-piece set is highly rated is because there are many ways to upgrade it..
Abel has already planned to upgrade the Guardian's shield..
‘First of all, I'll have to test its performance properly during the next class..’
Abel, who was moving the Gigant around and examining the Guardian's shield, saw that Scarlett was sending a hand signal again..
It seemed like he meant to get off the gigant and have a chat..
Although it was a short period of time, Abel got off Rufus without any regrets because the performance had been confirmed to some extent..
Cooung-!
With a vibration, Rufus fell to the ground again and Abel got out of the cockpit and headed towards Scarlett..
Scarlett, who was standing with her back against the wall, straightened up and spoke to Abel..
“Impressive.”
Although it wasn't a direct compliment, Scarlett had a satisfied smile on her face..
He seemed satisfied after confirming that the target of his investment was a consistent blue chip stock..
Abel gave an answer that Scarlett would like..
“Next time we will show you something more impressive..”
“good. Hearing stories like that makes me even more excited..”
As expected, Scarlett nodded cheerfully and opened her mouth again..
“First of all, the reason I came today was to see my face after a long time. A new semester has just started, so I've been busy here and there..”
It was worth it.
Scarlett is in charge of 4th year cadets..
The beginning of a new semester is busy for any grade, but fourth grade was especially busy..
This is because most classes are focused on practice..
If we were to be honest, Scarlett's position was closer to that of an 'emeritus professor', so she didn't actually teach many classes..
However, if you also consider your work as the head of the family, it will not be a convenient schedule..
Just by looking at the slightly dark circles under the eyes, it was like that..
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Scarlett waved her hand at Abel's sincere words and said,.
“done. It's something we do every year. Is it more of a practice exercise than that??”
“You mean hands-on? That's still 2 weeks…….”
“Not that one. It's a special class..”
“Ah, yes.”
There are still two weeks left for practical training as part of regular classes..
However, there were only two days left before the special class, Battle with the Blade's Tail..
Because of that, Abel would also gather together with the special class cadets and have meetings whenever he had free time..
Everyone expects good results the same way..
And that ‘anyone’ included Scarlett..
“During that class, many other professors will come to observe. Because special classes usually get a lot of attention..”
“Is that so?”
“okay. And that includes me.”
Scarlett said with a playful expression after talking up to that point..
“So, I hope that this time, just like before, it will show more than expected. Oh, of course.”
She said, holding up one finger..
“I have no intention of just burdening you. Because in the first place, you have to be rewarded to work more passionately..”
“It doesn't have to be that way.…….”
“As a reward, I will give you our family's secret book. related to horsepower.”
“……I think there is.”
Abel immediately changed his attitude..
If it were any other reward, it might be okay, but if it was Count Klein's magical secret book, it was a different story..
Abel spoke with a voice full of passion..
“Whatever you imagine, we'll show you more.”
