I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 34

34fury

The cadets all boarded the Gigant under the command of Kaul and the instructors..

There were many people who couldn't even operate it properly during the first class, but now everyone can operate it with ease..

Cooung-!

“good! It's all over!”

When everyone, including the last cadet, finished moving and stood on their feet, Cawl spoke..

“Abel! Turn your back!”

At those words, Abel skillfully controlled the aircraft and turned back..

Cowl pointed to Abel's aircraft and said:.

“The blue plate behind there is the tail.!”

Abel's aircraft, Lupus, had something like a blue metal plate attached to its back..

It really wasn't just a metal plate, it was some kind of artifact, something specially developed for training purposes..

“If you place your hand there, it will automatically be transferred to your aircraft! If you have it when the time is up, you win.!”

As Cowl said, it was an artifact that could be transferred to one's own aircraft simply by touching it..

It was not just used for tail grabbing, but for all similar types of training..

“The ones with tails are Abel, Daniel, and May! There are three of us! Let the three move to the pre-marked location.!”

-yes!

Abel saw that the location was marked on the floor not far away and walked towards it..

On the other hand, the remaining seven people retreated all the way to the back..

Cawl then explained some rules and finally gave some precautions..

“Oh, and if you reach the barrier, you are eliminated! Avoid moving to the outskirts as much as possible.!”

-All right!

After hearing everyone answer in unison, Kaul moved to the safe area with the other instructors..

And soon after, he shouted in a loud voice.

“start-!”

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

A loud noise rang out as soon as the start signal was given..

7Three of the people started running forward at the same time..

The one that stood out the most was the one with the red sun symbol on it, piloted by a boy named Calian..

-Spread to both sides at the same time!

Perhaps because he had planned it in advance, Kalian gave an order to the other two in a sharp voice..

Then the two people running on either side of Kalian spread out to the left and right respectively..

Even though they didn't work together properly, a fairly elaborate Jin was created..

‘Not bad.’

Abel looked at that and thought. Kalian had some skills in his own way..

In terms of overall ability, there wasn't much difference from Daniel, and in fact, I know that he fell by just one point in the special class..

‘The two people on either side are also mid-level..’

In many ways, it looked good despite being made hastily..

But if it was a threat, it wasn't..

If it had been that way in the first place, I wouldn't have had time to leisurely think about them..

thud!

Abel waited until they approached at close range and then made a surprise leap forward to the right..

-Ugh?

The opponent probably didn't think he was going to fight back, so he flinched and then swung his fist a beat late..

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

But the fist passed through the air in vain..

It was a natural result.

Because there was a big difference in level.

In general, if three people suddenly join together and rush in, it is easy to feel threatened..

Calian must have been aiming for that too..

However, Abel thoughtlessly attacked the weakest side and broke through the siege in an instant..

Cooung!

thud!

Then, May took advantage of Abel's attention and easily escaped the siege..

The last one left was Daniel..

Abel looked at Daniel standing firmly and then turned his head..

‘Everyone is slowly moving.’

It wasn't just the three people in front who were aiming for the tail, there were four more people..

At that time, there was a cadet who took action while all the attention was focused on the one running ahead..

The problem was that the opponent was Abel..

thud!

Abel intentionally threw himself to the side while making a loud noise..

The other person belatedly tried to extend his arm, but it only cut through the air..

-Sheesh!

I heard the sound of clicking one's tongue.

Abel chuckled when he heard that sound..

Seeing that kind of reaction, it was clear that they thought there was still a possibility..

Abel intended to completely shatter such thoughts..

Because what he wanted was not simply a slightly superior level, but an unrivaled position..

-attack at once!

Someone shouted loudly and rushed at Abel..

As if in response, two other people ran towards Abel..

As if he was referring to what happened earlier, he had his arms wide open from the beginning..

‘I'm planning to catch me somehow first..’

Thanks to this, Daniel and May were keeping their tail relatively leisurely..

Even though Abel knew this, instead of feeling unfair, he accepted it gladly..

They created a stage for me to show off my skills, so there was no reason to dislike it..

Taat!

Abel was the first to jump high..

Then those who rushed to surround him raised their hands at the same time as if they were plotting it..

If you look into their heads, they probably thought that now was their chance..

It's much more difficult to escape from the air..

But that's just a general story..

Powwow-!

With the sound of air bursting, Abel's aircraft was pushed out of the air..

If you use the blessing of wind, you can escape even in midair..

Of course, that wasn't the end.

The cadets persistently targeted Abel, and Abel evaded them in different ways each time..

He used the Sage's Crown to escape the siege of four people, and he also used the Shadow Staff to break up the siege..

In a situation where several people are attached to one person, the situation may change as time passes, but in reality, that was not the case..

-Huh, huh.

-Hmm…….

While the other cadets were so exhausted that they were panting to the point that sounds could be heard outside the Gigant..

-Everyone's standards are so low..

“Well, it's not that bad at that level..”

Abel was leisurely chatting with Rufus..

As the situation progressed, other cadets began to have skepticism about attacking Abel..

It was worth it since I couldn't even touch the aircraft for nearly ten minutes..

They soon turned away from Abel, as if they had reached some kind of agreement, and started heading towards Daniel and May..

“Looks like I finally gave up.”

-I guess so..

Abel folded his arms and watched the situation unfold with Rufus..

Daniel and May, who had been relatively leisurely at the tail, began to lose ground little by little as other cadets joined them..

Of all the dogs, the one who seemed more troubled was Daniel..

Mei is naturally quick with her movements and has a good fighting sense, so she rarely finds herself in a situation where she is surrounded..

In Daniel's case, he wasn't particularly outstanding except for his physical strength..

Perhaps that is why, as several people established and narrowed the siege, they began to engage in open hand-to-hand combat..

Kwaaang-!

bang!

A series of loud noises erupted..

“Hmm.”

As I continued to watch, there was one cadet who caught my eye..

It was Kalian who rushed towards Abel in the first place..

‘He had red hair and came from a knightly family..’

Abel looked back at Calian’s information..

The reason I remember about it is because it wasn't completely unimportant in the game..

Although he couldn't join the main cast, he had his own share of roles among the extras..

‘His spear skills are quite excellent, but he has an impatient personality, so he is unable to use his skills to the fullest. It still seems inexperienced in Gigant operation..’

It may seem like there are more disadvantages than advantages, but in reality, he was much better than other cadets..

In Abel's opinion, if only the Gigant operation part got better, he could be on par with the special class cadets..

-A failure of strategy.

At that time, Rufus said something..

Abel asked him.

“strategy?”

-okay. That guy over there, Daniel, doesn't seem to have anything special about him other than his physical strength, and now is the time when his physical strength shines the brightest..

“Well, that's right.”

More than 10 minutes have already passed since the tail-catching started..

And most of the cadets wasted nearly 10 minutes trying to catch Abel somehow..

In other words, it means that your physical strength is low..

“As for that guy's stamina, there's probably no difference between the first time and now..”

-That's how I see it too.

Daniel must have been moving quite hard, but his movements were not much different from the first time..

It was only natural, considering his monstrous stamina..

Physical strength and mental strength are deeply involved in Gigant's operating time..

However, Daniel was so unique in those two aspects that he had almost no rivals among first-year students..

On the other hand, since he was not that good at martial arts or gigant management, the situation would have been different if he had focused on targeting Daniel from the beginning..

As Rufus said, it was a failure of strategy..

-The failure was probably due to not being able to immediately recognize the difference in level with the owner in the first place. Everyone sucks..

Abel chuckled at those words..

In Rufus' eyes, Abel would barely make it to the passing line, so it was natural that his evaluation of the others would be harsh..

In that way, the situation seemed to go smoothly toward the victory of those who originally had the tail..

And when the promised time has passed.

“Okay, stop!”

Cawl shouted in a sharp voice..

Those who had been attacking Daniel with all their might stopped..

Cawl continued speaking while wearing a voice amplification artifact..

“Everyone worked hard. As I said before, I will give a reward to the three people who succeed in protecting the tail until the end..”

Abel nodded with satisfaction, but also felt puzzled..

This is because, unlike usual, the quest completion window did not immediately appear..

Meanwhile, Kaul continued talking..

“Let the seven escape to the outskirts first.!”

Abel realized that Kaul had other thoughts..

As expected, Cawl smiled and spoke loudly..

“And the other three! I give you two options!”

-What is?

Sincere Daniel answered Kaul's question with a question..

Kaul held up one finger and said,.

“First things first. The idea is to get the reward I mentioned at the beginning and take a break. Very simple choice.”

Cawl then extended his second finger..

“The second is to catch the tail one more time and get a better reward! It doesn't matter which option you choose, just choose what you want.!”

-Are you doing the same thing if it's tailgating??

This time Abel asked a question..

No matter how I looked at it, it looked like he had a plan..

Cawl answered briefly:.

“Of course not! This time, instead of starting with the tail, you will be in the position of stealing it.!”

-Who is it from??

Abel asked questions non-stop, and Kaul muttered in a low voice..

“This is why I don't like quick-witted cadets.…….”

Of course, Abel didn't hear that and asked back..

-yes?

“It is nothing. The one taking on the role of tail this time is your senior. I helped you once last time too..”

Abel immediately thought of ‘Claire’ when he heard those words. And as Abel expected, Claire, who had been waiting, walked over at Cawl's gesture..

‘Don't you want to give me a reward??’

Abel saw that and thought to himself..

Claire is not an ordinary senior, but one of the geniuses among third-year students..

Last time she let her guard down and I only had to make her move once and I was able to succeed, but tail catching is a whole different ballgame..

As can be seen from Abel's play with the seven cadets, the difference in skill is clearly revealed..

Of course, Abel's answer was decided from the beginning..

-I'll do it.

The more difficult the challenge is.

The reward when you succeed will be sweet.
