I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 37
37fury
Del Modor Academy can be said to be the best in the empire, or even the entire continent..
Upper Class is the highest tier in such academies..
In other words, just by being in the upper class, you already have dazzling talent..
Most cadets would have been called geniuses since childhood..
But the moment you enter the academy.
Those who have been winning since birth realize.
Becoming a Gigant Rider is not easy..
“I'm really going to get a bone disease if I keep doing this... … . These days, my knees hurt every time it rains.?”
“me too…….”
So, in the cafeteria, the cadets' complaints and complaints always rang out..
This was because most of the lectures at the academy were extremely harsh..
Even lectures that would not be strange to hear abuse in other places were treated as normal here..
Of course it was inevitable..
Although technology continues to advance, the Gigant is still a valuable strategic weapon..
A Gigant Rider who handles such a Gigant should not be an ordinary human being..
Even the cadets knew it well..
So everyone is complaining, but tomorrow they will go to class as if nothing happened..
Of course, there were exceptions among them..
“I'm going to go to training right after eating.?”
Instead of showing any signs of distress, a bright voice rang out from one side of the restaurant..
“speak quietly.”
“okay. So I'm going to go or not?”
“I have to go. I don't want to be late for class today either, so let's eat quickly. Because training time is reduced.”
Abel even tried to use his short lunch break to train..
Even the most conscientious cadets take a break during lunch time..
It's not because I'm lazy. Because if you don’t, you won’t be able to endure it..
Especially in the afternoon, there were a lot of physically demanding lectures..
The main characters of the conversation that made the listeners sick of their hearts were Daniel and Abel..
Daniel lowered his voice and spoke, as if he was paying attention to the attention of those around him..
“I’m not looking forward to the physical training time.?”
“huh?”
“You decided to learn martial arts starting today.!”
“Oh, right.”
Abel nodded..
From today, I will learn martial arts from Kaul during physical training class..
Of course, Abel was also excited about learning martial arts, but Daniel seemed especially excited..
Daniel grinned and told the reason..
“I never learned martial arts separately..”
It was worth it.
The person who gave Daniel 'instructions' would not have taught him anything like martial arts..
His teachings were not wrong, but Daniel must have had quite a desire..
Abel calmly answered.
“I have never learned anything separately either..”
“okay? why?”
“just. There's nothing that catches my eye.”
“but. My s... … No, when I was in the midst of learning, I also heard that half-baked things were worse than not learning anything at all. I only have bad habits.”
Abel nodded at Daniel’s words..
It is especially dangerous when growing up..
Depending on your martial arts skills, your body may change to become specialized for that area..
“But at the academy…….”
Just when Daniel was about to say a question that suddenly occurred to him..
A bitterly cold voice pierced Abel’s ears..
“take no interest.”
When Abel unconsciously turned his head, he saw Iolin standing in the center of the restaurant..
However, she wasn't the only familiar face..
A boy with a rather familiar face was standing across from Iolin..
“interest… … There is no?”
Luke de Paltaine.
He was the second son of Marquis Paltain, who was cruelly broken by Abel twice, and was a class B cadet like Iolin..
However, their relationship did not seem to be very good at first glance..
To be precise, it was clear that Iolin was annoyed with Luke..
“okay.”
Iolin answered Luke's trembling question with a cold voice and tried to pass by..
But Luke didn't let it go..
“why? We're going to be evaluating weapons skills soon anyway, so there's no harm in training together, right? There's probably no one in my class who could be your match except me..”
Luke shot back in a sharp tone..
No matter what the intention was, it felt like I was angry at being so blatantly ignored in a place where so many people were watching..
Iolin, who was trying to ignore it and pass by, stopped for a moment at Luke's words..
“my opponent?”
Then he turned around and spoke with an expression that showed no emotion..
“You're too confident.”
After saying just one word, Iolin turned around and walked away without any hesitation..
Luke was speechless and just gaped..
Most of the emotions expressed in those gazes toward Luke were savory and exhilarating..
This is because there were many people who disliked Luke for his arrogant and overbearing personality..
‘It would be embarrassing.’
Abel felt the same way..
I've never had an open fight since I got beaten up, but there was no way I would like him because he glared at me with hostile eyes every time I ran into him..
‘Well, Iolin has a cold personality to begin with, regardless of people..’
I probably would have reacted the same way if someone had bothered me, even if it wasn't Luke..
Because that’s Iolin’s original personality..
Abel thought to himself and tried to continue eating again..
Until you feel eyes focused on you.
When Abel raised his head, feeling puzzled by the stinging gaze, Iolin was standing across from him..
‘……?’
Abel had a question mark on his face. Iolin told him that.
“You can sit down?”
At that one word, shock appeared on the faces of the cadets around him..
Iolin approached someone, especially a man, and asked if he could sit in front..
It was all an unexpected sight..
Abel was equally embarrassed..
We promised to 'trade' what we knew and met twice a day, but the only time we met was at the training ground..
We have never had a private conversation.
“Abel?”
“Oh yeah.”
Abel belatedly nodded..
Only then did Iolin put down the bowl in front of Abel and sit down..
bang!
at that time.
A shock sound was heard from far away..
Luke, with a red face, kicked the table. He just left the restaurant..
Naturally, the cadets took turns looking at Luke and Abel as they left the cafeteria..
‘I don't like this kind of attention..’
Abel thought to himself, sighed inwardly, and looked at Iolin..
Iolin noticed the gaze and opened his mouth..
“I have something to ask.”
“I'll ask you?”
She nodded and spoke in her characteristic stiff tone..
“I was having trouble practicing what I taught you last time on my own..”
“Where did I get stuck??”
“They say that the most important thing for tuning in is recalling a mental image.…….”
In response to Abel's question, Iolin began to ask a lot of questions as if she had been waiting for it..
Abel, who had already calmed down his embarrassment, listened quietly to the story and answered one by one..
After talking like that for almost ten minutes, Iolin said she was done with her questions..
“If you have any questions, ask anytime.”
“thanks.”
Iolin replied and began to eat..
Abel finished his meal as well, and when Iolin finished eating, he stood up with her..
On the way to return the dish, Iolin added a word as if something suddenly occurred to her..
“See you in the evening.”
Abel felt eyes gathering again and nodded with an awkward smile..
‘Rumors will spread in earnest..’
Not many people knew that the two trained together in the training room inside the training center for most morning training..
But it seemed like the rumor would spread in the future..
“hey. I think this is the first time I’ve seen Lee Olin talk for such a long time..”
“Is that so?.”
Abel responded appropriately to Daniel's curious remarks..
Thinking that he might get tired somehow, Abel headed to the training ground with Daniel..
* * *
“Everyone looks very excited.!”
Cawl shouted in a loud voice..
“That's right!”
“yes.”
Daniel answered with an equally energetic voice, and Abel answered moderately..
“……yes.”
And May answered in a half-hushed voice..
If you look closely, you can see annoyance and regret swirling in his eyes..
Cawl looked hurt for a moment when he saw that, but quickly recovered and continued talking..
“This is a very important opportunity. You will learn martial arts directly from me! Now, before we start teaching, let me ask you a question..”
Kaul looked at Daniel and asked.
“Daniel. Why do you think there is nothing about martial arts in the first semester lectures??”
“I do not know!”
“I like that booming voice! Abel! you?”
Abel responded briefly to Kaul’s expectant look..
“Because I'm not ready.”
“That's it!”
Kaul smiled as if he was satisfied with Abel's answer. He then gave a more detailed explanation for Daniel and May who did not understand yet..
“Most cadets receive some training before entering the academy. Of course, there are cadets who have learned martial arts in advance..”
“That's right.”
“But that's not very good. There are quite a few people who regret it later and learn new martial arts skills..”
Cowl continued his explanation with a serious expression..
“Ultimately, the most important thing for a Gigant rider is how well he or she handles the Gigant. That's where the problem arises.”
“What problem are you talking about??”
Daniel asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity at Kaul’s words..
Cawl answered simply:.
“The martial arts skills you are used to are actually a hindrance when dealing with Gigant..”
“yes? It's a hindrance?”
“okay. The reason is simpler. Because the human body and the Gigant are not the same..”
Although Gigant has a human-like appearance, its essence is a lump of cold metal..
“It takes a lot of effort to do the same movements that I can easily do with my own body..”
Cawl raised his finger and said.
“But there are movements that are impossible even with such efforts..”
“ah!”
At Daniel's exclamation, which seemed to have occurred to him, Cawl shook his head and continued speaking..
“You've probably heard it in other lectures, right? Like bending your back completely backwards. Like tearing your legs straight.”
“yes!”
“This is because of the range of motion of the gigantic joint. Specially designed gigants have a greater range, but most cannot match the highly flexible range of motion of the human body..”
Cawl also told us about various differences between the body and the Gigant..
“Also, the characteristics of the Gigant are important. Abel, do you know what I mean??”
“yes. Gigant's vital points are different from those of humans. Unlike humans, the head does not stop working when the head is crushed or the neck is pierced, and the heart does not exist in the left chest..”
Abel added that Gigant is also capable of fighting, such as using its arms and legs as bait..
“That's it. Because Gigant can be repaired. Here on the other hand. The moment the cockpit breaks, not only Gigant but also the rider becomes dangerous. It can truly be said to be the most dangerous vital spot..”
Daniel also exclaimed in exclamation as if he understood what Kaul said for the first time after hearing the explanation up to that point..
Cawl said with a grin on his face..
“I guess you understand now. So, half-baked martial arts skills are not good. No, it's not exactly as good as uncooked..”
What the Gigant Rider had to learn was set..
It is a martial art that is completely focused on ‘Gigant’..
“Oh, of course there are other problems as well. Basically, it is much more efficient to learn it only after you know how to use Gigant to some extent. Even if it is a martial art that focuses on gigantism, it is better not to learn it in advance unless you are really good at it..”
After speaking up to that point, Cawl returned to the very beginning..
“Therefore, students begin to learn martial arts in earnest from the second semester. By then, everyone will be somewhat proficient at using Gigant. But you three will learn martial arts from me from now on. why?”
Cawl smiled again and said.
“Because you three already have the basics. Do you understand??”
“yes!!”
“All right.”
“yes.”
Cawl made eye contact with each of the three people and then opened his mouth..
“The martial arts you will learn are slightly different, but in the grand scheme of things, they come from the same roots..”
Kaul said with a very serious expression..
“It's Alon's martial arts skills..”
When everyone looked surprised, Cawl nodded..
“okay. It's true that he made it what you think..”
Alon.
It was the name of a great knight of the Empire and one of the founders of the Academy..
Abel was inwardly astonished..
‘The hidden piece comes from here?’
