I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 38

38fury

“What you will learn is, as the name suggests, a martial art designed by Sir Alon himself..”

Cawl began to explain quietly..

“Then, of course, you will have questions. How do I know that? First of all, of course I have no blood connection to Sir Alon..”

Needless to say, special skills such as martial arts are passed down through blood or family lines..

This means that it is rarely passed on to outsiders..

After talking up to that point, Kaul spread out his hands and said,.

“However, Sir Alon taught all of his martial arts skills to his five disciples at the time..”

“5Do you mean to everyone??”

Daniel asked back in surprise. Because it was such an unusual thing..

Cawl nodded..

“okay. And what I learned was passed down to Wolfren the Iron Wall..”

Everyone looked surprised once again at the name Wolfren..

He was a very famous person, although not as famous as Sir Alon..

‘He was a famous general during the Great War..’

Abel also knew his name well..

As the commander of the Northern Army, Wolfren literally performed very well despite his old age..

It was even said that if it had not been for him, the current territory of the empire would have been reduced to two-thirds..

Kaul saw the reaction of the three and continued speaking with a chuckle..

“Judging by his expression, I think he's wondering what my relationship is with him..”

No one denied it.

Kaul explained it in more detail..

“During the Great War, I also participated in the Imperial Army and was under him at the time..”

At the time, Kaul said he had received some teachings directly from Wolfren..

martial arts was also one of them..

“So, to be precise, the name of this martial arts technique should be called Alon-Wolfren martial arts. It has been improved once by Wolfren..”

The cowl told me some of the differences.

“By changing the movements to be more linear, he redefined martial arts by assuming that he was dealing with a large number of people. Of course, that doesn't mean it's easier to learn or anything like that..”

Cawl threatened that you would probably have to go through a lot of trouble to learn this, then turned his head to Daniel..

“According to our conversation earlier, Daniel is going to learn the defense part of martial arts..”

His gaze then turned to May..

“And you will learn movement and attack..”

Finally, Kaul saw Abel..

“And Abel. You will learn everything in general. However, how much you can save depends on your effort and will. Do you understand??”

“yes!”

Abel answered vigorously.

So did Daniel and May..

Cowl opened his mouth after checking everyone's reactions..

“Well, the explanation ends here. Now let's get started.”

He said with an evil smile on his face..

“hell training.”

*       *       *

Exhausted students were scattered throughout the playground after physical training session..

Normally, I would have fallen on the floor and scurried back to the dormitory like an undead, but things were a little different now..

Most of the students were looking to one side with sympathetic eyes.

“Huh, huh.”

“Wow.”

Where their gaze was directed, there were three students..

Daniel, May and Abel.

“Ugh…….”

It was so difficult that not only Abel and May, but even Daniel was groaning with pale complexions..

The training was so hard that Daniel, who was not lacking in stamina even though he was called a monster, had a hard time..

At that time, Cawl's sharp voice pierced the students' ears..

“Daniel! My posture was off! Concentrate.”

“yes, yes!”

Daniel, whose shoulders were slightly sagging, came to his senses and straightened his posture..

Abel saw it out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself:.

‘I'm dying, really..’

There was really no exaggeration about the hell training that Kaul talked about..

As soon as training began, Kaul suddenly turned like a yaksha and began to attack..

Compared to now, my usual appearance in class could be said to be mercy itself..

“Abel! you also!”

“yes!”

Abel, who had been thinking about something else for a moment, came to his senses and straightened his posture after hearing Cawl's sharp shout..

Currently, Abel was in a posture commonly called mabo..

That alone was difficult, but there was something else that bothered him even more..

“There is no point if you leave out the use of horsepower.!”

Just then, Kaul emphasized it once again..

horsepower operation.

The reason why even Daniel, who is a physical monster, had a hard time was because he had to take the magic stance and use his magic power at the same time..

Using magic power is inherently an activity that requires a lot of mental strength and physical strength..

But I didn't have the talent to endure it at the same time as Mabo..

Moreover, Cawl pointed out every time my magic power was disturbed as if he could see it with his own eyes, so I couldn't even think about it for a moment..

“Whoosh, whoosh.”

Abel was breathing heavily..

Of course, this training was not forced. Rather, it was a precious time received as a reward..

It's just that even though I knew it, it was just so hard that I felt weak..

But Abel gritted his teeth and thought.

‘I can endure it.’

It's always hard, even if you think it's hard, it only gets harder.

Abel consciously cleared his mind just as he did when raising his synchronization rate and focused only on using magic power and mana..

How much time has passed like that?.

“stop!”

At the sound of Kaul's voice, Abel returned to reality..

“Ugh.”

I lost my concentration and at the same time, I felt all the strength in my legs..

Abel almost collapsed, but he managed to hold on and stand upright..

Daniel and May also looked similar..

Cawl looked at the scene and spoke in a stern voice..

“From now on, do this for 2 hours every time you train until you get used to it. Do you understand??”

“yes!”

Only after hearing the loud answer did Cawl smile with satisfaction..

“Still, everyone did well for the first day. It's not a reward, but I'll show you something good..”

Cowl said that and slowly began to take a stance..

“Keep it in your eyes.”

Cowl, who spoke with a serious expression, suddenly gave off a completely different atmosphere than before..

The surrounding air pressed heavily on the surroundings..

Cawl stood in that position for a moment, then slowly, very slowly, extended his fist forward..

That moment.

Abel unconsciously opened his eyes wide..

Because it felt like a huge tsunami was coming..

widely-.

At that time, I saw Daniel taking a step back..

He probably felt similar to Abel. So I took a step back without realizing it..

All I did was slowly extend my fist forward..

That feeling disappeared completely after Cawl slowly withdrew his fist..

“It may seem like you're just throwing a punch, but this is the core of the martial arts you will learn..”

Cawl continued speaking in a heavily subdued voice..

“Physical skills may seem less important than weapon skills. Even if you ride a Gigant, you fight with a weapon. but.”

Kaul said, “It is a story that only one knows and two do not know,” and added a detailed explanation..

“Proper martial arts is the foundation of everything. Even when swinging a sword. Even when stabbing a spear. Even when holding a shield to block. It can be applied everywhere. Do you understand??”

“yes!”

“Okay, that's it for today. Take a good rest. Resting is also part of training.”

“All right!”

“yes!”

“yes.”

With Cawl's last words, the training ended..

Abel waited for Kaul to leave and spoke to Daniel..

“Let’s take a shower and go eat something..”

“okay… … . May, let's go!”

Daniel took care of May, who was half conscious..

The three returned to the dormitory quietly, unlike usual..

*       *       *

The martial arts training continued without missing a single day..

Even on Saturdays when there were no lectures, I had to practice martial arts. It was because of Kaul's claim that if you rest for two days, you will lose your senses..

“I guess I should say I'm glad that I can at least take a day off..”

Abel muttered in a weak voice..

As you do any training, you get used to it, and as you get used to it, it becomes less difficult..

But Cawl's martial arts training was an exception..

This is because every time I felt like I was getting used to it, I increased the difficulty level..

Thanks to this, each training session was always as difficult as the first..

“That means the instructor is sincere about teaching us..”

At that time, Daniel answered Abel’s mumbling..

Daniel seemed to be in a better mood than usual, and the reason was obvious..

“For saying that, I feel really good.?”

“I? why?”

“Why why? I guess that's because I'm off training for next week..”

Daniel smiled silently at Abel’s words..

As I said, there was no training for the next week..

It wasn't because Cawl suddenly felt compassionate or because he had other things to do..

Daniel said.

“Resting is not resting. I need to practice.”

“Well, that's right.”

Starting next week, there will be outdoor training..

Of course, since I was outside the academy, I couldn't naturally train..

“Still, I'm excited to go outside. I'm worried too.”

“Maybe it won't be easy. The story is that everyone went out to practice and came back after going through all sorts of hardships..”

Abel said in a dry voice.

1Many of the first grade students were as excited as Daniel about going outdoors for practical training..

Of course, it's not like they didn't know that they would go out and suffer too..

Even though they know it, the idea of ​​riding a Gigant and carrying out a mission outside is something they look forward to..

‘but…….’

Abel's face hardened as if he remembered something..

But then.

Someone ran into the restaurant and shouted loudly..

“An outdoor training area has arrived.!”

With that one word, everyone's attention was focused on the boy who brought the news..

The boy shouted loudly with a slightly flushed face..

“Telif Plain!”

Telif Plain.

The moment those words came out of the boy's mouth, the reaction was divided into two..

Students still look expectant. And the students with stiff faces.

Even if it was the former, the reason why the latter students had stiff faces was simple..

This was because I had heard of the notoriety of the Telif Plain..

It was the place where the biggest battle took place during the Great War, and after the war was over, it was the place where the 'Colossus' settled down..

It was originally a small city and a place where people lived, but now it is difficult to find traces of people..

It's a very unconventional place for practice..

However, Abel was not that surprised by the place called Telip Plain itself..

‘Anyway, the practice itself takes place on the outskirts of the plains..’

Of course, the academy did not choose that place as a training site without any thought..

An area that has been completely 'cleaned' and ready for use strictly for practical purposes only..

What Abel was worried about was not the place, but something else..

‘external enemy.’

In this exercise, a more dangerous incident than the Wall of Glory was scheduled to occur..
