I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 45
45fury
There was a lot of joking in Cowl's words, but not a single person laughed at them..
After a while, Kalian asked, laughing awkwardly..
“haha. Are you kidding??”
“no.”
Kaul immediately turned his face and looked at the cadets and said:.
“The process of getting here was just a warm-up. On the other hand, in the future, you will experience a truly realistic experience..”
“If it were a real fight, it wouldn't end with just fighting the fragments of the titan..”
At Abel's words, Kaul looked at him and nodded..
“There are many different types of battles that riders face. As Abel said, the battle with the fragments of the giant is only a part of it..”
After talking up to that point, Kaul looked at the others once in a while and declared:.
“You will experience all kinds of combat during this exercise..”
With those words, silence came..
Cawl waited for a moment and then smiled again and said.
“Even after saying this, no one is giving up. I guess everyone is confident?”
Darin looked like he was sorry when he said that, but Cawl continued talking as if he didn't notice..
“Now, I won't disturb your little break, so I'll just say a few things and then leave..”
Kaul briefly explained the intermediate base..
First of all, several engineers were waiting at the intermediate base, so Gigant repairs were possible..
Rest was possible in a simple barracks made by pitching a tent, and food and water were all provided inside..
“Then I'll just leave. Take a good rest and report to me before leaving..”
“yes!”
When Kaul left, Abel gathered with the other cadets and talked..
“I think it would be a good idea to take a break for about 4 hours. what do you think about it?”
“4hour? Doesn't fill 6 hours?”
“huh. There's something holding me back.”
Everyone's attention was focused on Abel's words..
It is natural, but he did not simply bring up the story out of groundless anxiety..
Calian asked with a doubtful expression..
“What's the problem??”
“I feel like the instructor didn't explain all the rules for this base.?”
Abel slowly organized his thoughts..
There was no lie in anything Kaul said. But he omitted some important facts.
First of all, Kaul said that he could rest here for a total of 6 hours..
I also said that I could rest as much as I wanted before leaving..
But in fact, ‘6 hours’ is not limited to this place..
‘The total amount of time you can rest at the base per day is 6 hours. After spending all 6 hours in one place, it is impossible to take a short break somewhere else..’
Of course, in that case, there were many difficulties..
You cannot receive food or water midway, nor can you receive repairs to the aircraft..
But I couldn't tell this to the other cadets..
Because this is something that ‘Abel’, who has no experience, cannot know..
I thought about asking Cawl a question, but I refrained from doing so because it might raise Cawl's suspicions..
Abel realized that he had been silent for a long time and calmly continued his explanation..
“therefore… … There is no clear basis. I just want you to approach it cautiously. Because the base is not even here..”
“Hmm, I see..”
Calian and others did not seem completely convinced, but they did not refute it..
This is because it was not an unreasonable claim to approach cautiously because there are many things we do not know..
Abel opened his mouth again to be more clear..
“If you're tired, it's okay to rest a little more. I'm not at that level yet.”
“Then I don't mind either..”
Calian answered as soon as he finished speaking..
These words were aimed at Kalian's pride, but they hit the mark..
“Well, I’m still fresh too..”
Daniel, like a physical monster, nodded without hesitation, and May did the same..
“me too… … It's still okay.”
Darin seemed to be having a hard time, but he answered that he understood that he didn't want to go against the trend..
‘Darin, you'll have to keep a close eye on him..’
Compared to the others, Darin's stamina was a little lower, so it seemed necessary to pay attention to it..
“good. Then let's rest for now. Let’s all eat when we want..”
After saying that, Abel immediately lay down on the bed..
This time, instead of meditating, I lay down and closed my eyes, knowing that at least there was no danger here..
So Abel instantly fell into a deep sleep..
* * *
When I open my eyes.
The first thing that greeted Abel was the hot sunlight stinging his eyes..
‘What time is it…….’
Abel blinked a few times, checked the time, and then raised his upper body..
There were still about 30 minutes left until the appointed time..
I looked around and saw that everyone was in a deep sleep..
‘I guess I should eat first..’
Abel moved to the place where the meal was prepared and finished eating in less than 10 minutes and came out of the tent..
Since I didn't have a specific destination in mind, I walked aimlessly around the base, and before I knew it, Abel had arrived at a place where Gigants were lined up..
Abel looked up at his Gigant among them and thought..
‘Now that I think about it, I've become quite familiar with the Miles class..’
Abel was first introduced to Gigant at the Midget level..
It wasn't even a proper Midget class, but it was made by scraping together parts one by one from a broken aircraft..
Of course, its level did not even reach that of an ordinary midget..
‘But I was very happy when I first rode it..’
Although it was a very long time ago, the memory of that time was vivid..
When I opened my eyes in an unfamiliar world and went through life at the bottom, every day was hell..
In fact, the time I spent begging in semi-desperation was quite long..
Gigant was the reason Abel started living with motivation..
In order to somehow create my own Gigant, I worked even while sleeping..
The first time I got on the Gigant that I had worked so hard to build for so many years..
Abel felt like he had the whole world..
Abel was now riding a Gigant of the Miles class, not the Tito class..
He even thought that it was a shame that it wasn't his aircraft..
‘If you saw me in the past, you wouldn't have anything to say even if I was a greedy guy..’
Abel chuckled..
However, I had no intention of reducing my greed. Because greed and desire were his driving force..
I have no intention of being satisfied with just Milles level..
Above the Miles class, the Militum class is called the monarch and ruler of the battlefield, surpassing the Centurio class, which is called the flower of the battlefield..
‘If possible, it is a completely customized Militum.…….’
It was a pleasant imagination just thinking about it..
When Abel was smiling in front of Gigant for a while,.
“Abel?”
Suddenly someone called his name.
Abel turned his head to the unfamiliar yet familiar voice and opened his eyes wide in surprise..
“Temarin?”
The person standing there was none other than Temarin..
It was the first time I had seen it since the actual combat training with Blade Tail..
“I was going to say hello when I saw you earlier, but I didn't have time..”
Temarin spoke with an embarrassed expression..
Abel smiled and answered.
“If I had known you were there, I would have gone to say hello first..”
“Oh no.”
There was an awkward silence for a moment. Abel thought for a moment and then opened her mouth..
“Do you still remember the promise you made back then??”
“Oh, are you coming to the workshop? of course!”
“thank god. There is a work I would like to commission..”
“Is there a work you would like to commission? Oh, the Academy Workshop is definitely trustworthy. Because the skill is good and the price is cheap.…….”
“To be exact, I would like to entrust the request to Temarin..”
“yes?”
Temarin was startled and answered in a loud voice, then quickly looked around and spoke in a low voice..
“I'm not qualified to take on big requests yet... … . It's only a probationary period, so I can only do mediocre work..”
“This is a simple modification. Oh, of course, if Temarin is uncomfortable, there is nothing we can do..”
“It's uncomfortable! If it's a personal request, I welcome it with open arms.!”
As the saying goes, it was a very happy thing to receive a personal request from an engineer at the academy..
The structure of an ordinary workshop and an academy is slightly different. Engineers in a workshop work exclusively for the workshop and are vertical, whereas in an academy, if you were to be specific, half of them are freelancers..
You can take charge of the academy's work, but you can also earn money through personal requests..
‘To be precise, if you don't take on a personal request, you only get pennies..’
As for why it was structured like that, the reason was simple..
Because it's cheaper that way.
If you were a skilled engineer, you could take on requests from hundreds of cadets and earn not only money but also a reputation..
Once you have built up a certain reputation, you usually open your own workshop..
In some cases, they even become full-time employees at the academy..
In that sense, for Temarin, who had a short career, the personal request had great meaning..
The first time is difficult, but once you produce the results, the second time is much easier..
“So are you accepting requests??”
“yes Oh, of course, if it's something beyond my skills, I'll tell you..”
“All right.”
Abel smiled and nodded..
I wasn't worried about her skills..
In a few years, it is Temarin who will emerge as a divinity that will threaten the famous Vulcanus..
“Then, when the time comes, let’s go. I'll see you again when I get a chance..”
“yes Oh, and…….”
“yes?”
“Well, it's not much of a story, but there's a story that the monsters nearby have become more vicious recently. be careful.”
Abel paused for a moment and then answered..
“yes. thank you.”
“Then take care..”
On the way back from the conversation, Abel remembered what Temarin had said..
‘Could it be that signs are already starting to appear??’
Temarin may have just said it without thinking, but it had special meaning to Abel..
Because he knew.
Something big will happen during this exercise..
In the game, signs of the incident appeared during practice, and one of the signs was that the fragments of the giant became more vicious than the original..
“Hmm.”
Abel decided to move more cautiously and changed his plan slightly..
‘It would be better to get there in two days, even if it means overdoing it..’
It is a ruin located inside the Telif Plain, the training area.…….
‘I need to find the ancient artifact faster..’
It was the place where another relic rested..
