I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 31
31fury
Abel was confident that he could defeat Blade Tail by himself..
Among those who participated in this exercise, there are probably those who have such confidence..
But even so, it was difficult for several people to join forces to completely defeat the blade tail..
Because each person has a different path in life and the way they fight is different..
In order for many people to join forces and fight well, they must overcome such ‘differences’ and unite..
The reason for holding this practical class at the beginning of the semester was probably to make people aware of that fact..
But there was something even the professors didn't expect..
-Ryan! from now on!
For Abel, the leader, such things were not a problem at all..
Kwaaang-!
The fierce attack of the blade tail was blocked by Lian's shield..
Blade Tail, which had been hiding its power the entire time, continued its desperate attack when the surprise attack proved fruitless..
He also knows the blade's tail. If I lose my momentum like this, I won't be able to survive..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A saw-like tail split the air with an eerie sound..
Iolin, who dodged the attack by a narrow margin, fell backwards instead of swinging his weapon again..
Basically, this battle was in the form of a 'wheeled combat'..
This means that instead of having a decisive battle in a short period of time, the goal is to finish it off after reducing the power of the blade as much as possible..
It was a strategy that everyone agreed on because no one was particularly active, but everyone was able to show their skills equally..
The battle is progressing ideally..
-It won't end like this?
However, Rufus' voice as he asked Abel a question was filled with regret and disappointment..
A smile appeared on Abel's lips..
This is because Lupus’s intentions were clearly read..
Although he now calls Abel his master and follows him, Rufus is a beast that cannot be easily controlled..
A beast that, if given the chance, will tear up the iron bars that imprison it and break out..
Lupus is something that a half-hearted person can never handle..
“No way.”
That is why Abel spoke to Rufus in a firm voice..
“This is just the beginning, so watch carefully..”
Abel raised his sword with his only remaining arm and shouted..
-Now it's me!
At those words, Lian stepped back without hesitation..
Perhaps he thought he had already demonstrated his skills sufficiently, but he had no regrets about that move..
It was worth it, since he almost single-handedly carried out the defense mission against Blade Tail..
Kwaang!
When Rian, who had been blocking his attacks at every turn, disappeared, the blade tail tried to attack as if it had been waiting..
But Abel did not give that opportunity..
Cooung!
Abel kicked off the ground and ran forward, immediately swinging his sword at Blade Tail..
bang!
Blade Tail, who was about to attack May behind the curtain, hurriedly turned around and blocked Abel's sword..
Next, the two forked tails aimed at Abel's remaining shoulder and side..
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Abel struck it down with just one sword strike..
At that sight, not only the professors but also the other cadets widened their eyes in surprise..
Even though it was just one gesture, I felt something had changed..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The blade's tail swung its front paw..
Abel leaned forward and struck his sword upward..
The attack using the tail had a varied and fast trajectory, but Abel thoughtlessly struck it away with his sword..
The blade's tail was blocked repeatedly, and the wounds on its body increased..
Because Abel was not the only one dealing with the blade tail..
Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go!
Mei slashed through Blade Tail's back, and Iolin continued to hit one spot on the leg..
At the time when everyone expected that if things continued like this, it would end smoothly..
Cooung-!
Once again, the blade's tail showed a strange appearance..
It looked similar to when he first blew away Rian, who was holding a shield, with a single blow..
Abel knew very well what this was a symptom of..
The blade tail is classified as a mid-level fragment because it has a unique ability, and the name of that unique ability is none other than 'Strike'..
In an instant, a force several times greater than the original strength is displayed..
Saaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Abel saw Blade Tail's body writhing unusually..
If this continues, great damage will occur once again..
But Abel, who had already guessed it, struck first..
‘shadow step.’
Just before the attack flies.
Abel's aircraft moved at an incredible speed and struck the empty side of the blade's tail with his sword..
Kwaaaaang-!
The huge body of the blade tail flew away as if bouncing..
Instead of being happy that his attack was successful, Abel chased after the blade tail that flew at high speed..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssst!
The weapon mounted on the foot, the blessing of wind, activated and pushed Rufus away. Then the distance between the two narrowed in an instant..
The series of actions was surprisingly quick and fluid..
“Whoop.”
While others were showing off admirable movements, Abel was letting out hot breath from his mouth..
The blade tail that had bounced off was seen standing upright again and thrusting away its sharp tail as if struggling..
As it was, it was a counterattack that would have felt threatening..
However, Abel, who had raised his tuning rate to the limit, did not feel fear..
Coordination is a very important ability for a gigantic rider..
The higher you are, the more you can demonstrate 100% of your abilities..
No matter how good a rider you are, you cannot become a gigantic rider if your synchronization rate is low..
However, a high synchronization rate does not necessarily mean a good fight..
There is a common saying.
-No matter how high your synchronization rate is, isn't your ability ultimately the limit??
In general, it wasn't that wrong..
No matter how high the synchronization rate is, if the rider's strength is not good, it cannot exert much power..
But that's just a general story..
What happens if the synchronization rate exceeds 100 and reaches 120 or 150??
What power can S-class synchronization exert??
Kwaaang-!
The tail hit the ground..
This was where Abel had been standing just a moment ago. But at that moment, Abel was already flying in the air..
Everything seemed in slow motion to Abel's eyes at the moment..
Abel knew the answer to the power of high tuning rates..
If the synchronization rate reaches its limit.
Beyond becoming one with the Gigant, he can do things that are impossible with a human body..
like now.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Time, which had slowed down through the wise man's coffin, became even slower..
Pushuuuk!
The aircraft floating in the air plunged to the ground through the blessing of the wind..
In the meantime, Blade Tail tried to attack Abel, but before he knew it, all attacks were bounced off the guardian's shield..
The result of using three weapons simultaneously and mobilizing all skills.
The sword Abel held broke through all resistance and reached between the eyebrows of the blade's tail..
Quad deuk!
As the blade pierced the leather made of metal, the body of the blade tail, which had been struggling like crazy just before, went limp..
Only after seeing that did Abel lose his concentration..
The world that had slowed down returned to normal in an instant, and Abel almost fell to his knees from the pain that struck his entire body..
My head felt like it was going to explode at any moment and my body was so hot it felt like it was going to melt..
But Abel gritted his teeth and proudly stood on his own two feet..
And then a message appeared before his eyes..
[I took on the role of leader and completed the mock battle perfectly.!]
[Rewards are enhanced by successfully completing chain quests..]
[‘Reinforcement materials’ are given as a reward..]
[I finished the intermediate colossus fragment myself..]
[Influence increases significantly.]
[He impressed many people with his outstanding skills..]
[Influence increases significantly.]
It was something that would put a smile on your face..
However, the additional message that came to mind at the end was something that Abel did not expect at all..
[‘'Sentence' responds.]
When the above message appears.
Abel saw a sphere of white light rise from Blade Tail's corpse and fly toward him..
The sphere passed through Rufus' thick armor, appeared in the cockpit, and was sucked into Abel's chest..
“Ugh.”
Abel frowned at the intense heat and the resulting pain..
However, in the message that followed, he even forgot the pain and made a blank expression..
[Absorbs some of the abilities of the Intermediate Colossus' Fragment Blade Tail..]
[Physical abilities slightly increase.]
[Acquired the skill ‘Bang’.]
It was the first time I discovered an element I didn't even know existed..
* * *
After the battle is over.
All aircraft that the cadets rode were moved to the workshop. This was because most of the aircraft was damaged due to the intense fighting..
All observers withdrew while the aircraft was being moved..
After everything was resolved, Jacqueline gathered the cadets together and talked to them..
“There were a lot of things that were disappointing..”
Jacqueline's tone of voice had returned to the polite manner it used to be in class..
But the content was never kind.
“Daniel showed a lot of excitement in his movements. No matter how physically strong he is, if he wastes his strength like that on the actual battlefield, he will definitely get tired in the middle. And henna…….”
Jacqueline continued her harsh evaluation by pointing out each cadet..
And Abel was no exception..
“Abel probably knows this well. She said she overdid it in the end.”
“That's right.”
“I know you're trying to prove yourself, but you need to have some self-respect..”
“I'll keep that in mind.”
This was a point that Abel fully expected. Because he did it even though he knew he would be criticized in the first place..
I wasn't sure if Jacqueline knew that, so I didn't say anything more..
After criticizing her once, Jacqueline took a breath and opened her mouth again..
“I hope everyone takes what I said in mind and improves. Now, let's talk about the final score..”
A smile suddenly appeared on Jacqueline's lips as she spoke..
“Everything is perfect.”
The cadets' eyes widened at those words..
Jacqueline continued speaking with a smile on her face..
“This was our first practical class, and even though it was a joint battle, we all performed better than expected. Abel, the leader, utilized his team members at the right time and the team members faithfully followed the leader's orders..”
As the words continued, the stiff faces of the cadets began to brighten..
Jacqueline continued her evaluation a little longer and ended the story with a cheerful expression..
“Everyone did really well. I'm really looking forward to the future. Still, I hope you don’t get too excited and just work hard. Do you understand??”
“yes-!”
“Then, everyone, please get some rest. end of lecture.”
Jacqueline turned away after saying those words, and the cadets only spoke after she had moved away..
“Wow. It was stronger than I thought.”
“I know. Even though I knew about it because Abel told me in advance, I was embarrassed when I used her unique ability..”
As Lian and Jun spoke a word, Daniel nodded and accepted the words..
“Even though I was riding the Gigant, it felt like my hands hurt every time I hit it. It was very sturdy..”
“It was really fast too. Anyway, I didn't know it could be avoided so easily..”
Henna said with a dissatisfied expression.
The fact that the blade's tail easily dodged the magic gun seemed to have bothered me the whole time..
At that time, Iolin opened his mouth..
“Abel. How many weapons did you use at the same time in the end??”
At her question, the cadets' eyes immediately turned to Abel..
Abel answered with an awkward smile..
“three.”
“three? In practice, they already deal with three at the same time.?”
“Not at the same time. It was used sequentially..”
“That's it.!”
When it seemed like the topic of conversation would completely turn to himself, Abel took a step back..
When I even thought about just running away. Then he heard a voice saving him..
“abel cadet?”
Abel turned his head when he heard a somewhat familiar voice and found a woman waving at him..
It was none other than Scarlett..
“Would you like to talk for a moment? About the promise I made last time.”
It was time for additional rewards..
