I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 55
55fury
The longsword and dual swords that Abel and May carried looked like ordinary weapons, but they were actually ‘artifacts’ that could be obtained from ruins..
This artifact was imbued with the ability to transform, allowing it to be transformed into different types of weapons and even worn as armor..
Unlike when using Gigant, Abel's own combat power was not that high, so it was a necessary artifact..
The problem was this bracelet.
‘The original artifact from the game was a circlet..’
The original artifact, the Circlet, was able to influence life forms around it..
Emotions could be amplified and vice versa..
However, what Abel got was a bracelet, not a circlet..
You might think that they're just different in appearance but have the same abilities, but I don't think that's the case..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
This is because the bracelet emitting bright light was vibrating with an unusual sound..
The pilgrims who were approaching with weapons looked wary when they saw this, and one of them stepped forward and said:.
“I have a suggestion.”
A person who appeared to be a captain pointed to Abel’s arm..
“If you hand over the items you brought from the ruins, I will send them to you..”
Abel didn't react at all to those words..
His nerves were focused on the bracelet that suddenly reacted..
If you have a special ability like a game, it might be able to help solve the current situation..
“Why are you choosing the difficult path?.”
However, the man seemed to think Abel's silence was rejection and warned him in a gloomy voice..
At the same time, the pilgrims who had stopped slowly walked forward and narrowed the distance..
Abel broke into a cold sweat..
‘If you stay still, you have no choice but to suffer the same fate. what method…….’
Abel tried to think of a way to deal with the narrowing siege..
But then.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Suddenly something rose up from the ground..
The man who was slowly approaching Abel looked at him in surprise..
And the next moment.
Kwasik!
Blood spattered out with an eerie sound..
“Ahhhhh!”
Then a scream rang out..
It was the scream of a man who appeared to be none other than the captain..
He was holding on to one arm, but the area below the elbow was missing.
“enemy, enemy!”
Another person shouted loudly on behalf of the captain..
They quickly looked around and soon found 'it'..
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
It was a silver beast..
It had an appearance that could not be pinpointed as to what kind of species it was, but Abel felt an inexplicable familiarity with it..
crackling!
The beast moved at high speed and stirred up the enemy lines..
Although the speed was very fast, the enemies did not take it lightly..
They stood around the captain who lost his arm and blocked any opportunity to attack..
Because of this, the wild beast was not able to get close and just circled around as if on guard..
Abel, who was watching the situation, immediately came to his senses and said to May:.
“let's go!”
May immediately nodded, and the two ran like crazy, leaving the pilgrims and the unidentified beast behind..
“run away-!”
A voice was heard shouting from behind, but there was no pursuer..
As he ran, Abel looked back and saw the beast blocking the path of the pilgrims to prevent them from moving hastily..
It looked like he was helping Abel escape..
“Heo-eok, heo-eok. What is that?”
May asked with a confused expression even as she was running..
“I don't know!”
Of course Abel didn't know either..
Because the situation was so unusual, I thought it might have something to do with the bracelet, but it was just an expectation..
Maybe it's not related at all.
Mei also nodded at first..
So Abel and May ran and ran..
There was no sign of someone chasing me, but I didn't let my guard down..
How long did it run?.
When I squeeze out all the strength I have and the strength I don't have, it becomes even more difficult to breathe..
“Huh, huh. Let's take a break.”
Abel checked that no one was around and said to May:.
May seemed to have reached her limit as well, so she nodded silently..
Abel leaned against the tree and sighed..
“Whoa. I don't think there's anyone coming after me right now..”
Meanwhile, May said to Abel that she had scanned the surroundings with her magic..
Abel answered while wiping his sweat..
“I'm glad. But where is this place??”
“I don't know… … . Because they all look the same.”
“First of all, I don’t think I can go back in the direction I came from..”
If you go back and run into pilgrims again, it will be a disaster..
While taking a break, the two thought about what to do..
By the time the sweat that had soaked my body cooled and my breathing had gradually stabilized,.
crackling-!
The nearby grass was shaking and the sound of something running was heard..
Abel and May immediately raised their weapons and looked in that direction..
But what came out of the grass was something completely unexpected..
“ah?”
May blinked in surprise..
Abel was equally surprised..
Because what came out of the grass was none other than the silver beast we saw earlier..
Abel used his magic power to see if anyone was following behind him, but he could not sense the energy of any small animal, let alone a person..
Sigh-.
Abel turned his head again and looked at the beast that was looking at him with its tail wagging..
Its appearance resembled a fragment of a titan..
The beast's appearance resembled a fragment of a colossus, in that its body looked like metal rather than the skin of an ordinary creature..
But strangely, unlike when I saw the fragments of the giant, I felt a strange sense of intimacy..
It was as if my instincts were speaking..
That's not the enemy.
“The attack... … I don't do it.”
May said something at that sight..
As he said, the beast appeared and stood still..
“I know.”
Abel nodded his head in response, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth..
“Did you help us??”
I didn't say this expecting a clear answer, but the result was unexpected..
The Beast nodded his head up and down in response to Abel’s question..
May also saw this and her eyes widened and she looked at Abel..
“……I understand what you are saying?”
When Abel asked again, the Beast nodded again..
Abel was sobbing at the sight..
“Umm.”
Given the circumstances, it seemed clear that this beast was related to the ruins and, by extension, the bracelet..
However, there were a lot of problems with carrying it around like this..
Even if we were together for now, I didn't know what would happen if I took her to the academy..
‘Even if I'm lucky, wouldn't they take me with them, saying they need to do research first??’
When Mei was hesitant and couldn't answer right away.
Sigh.
Suddenly the beast approached and extended its paw towards Abel's sword..
Abel did not stop and watched quietly, wondering what to do..
Then something amazing happened.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
Suddenly, the beast's body scattered into hundreds of metal cubes and began to stick to the sword..
When he came to his senses, Abel's claymore had become a huge sword wider than the palm of his hand..
“……?”
Abel looked at him with his mouth wide open and his sword raised..
However, the sword, which seemed incredibly heavy at first glance, was lifted lightly..
‘It's actually lighter than an ordinary sword.’
Cooung-!
But when I put it down on the floor, a loud noise rang out..
“…….”
Regardless of the weight Abel felt, the weight of the sword itself was by no means light..
May was blinking, wondering what the hell was going on..
But he couldn't continue to be lost like this, so Abel came to his senses and opened his mouth..
“Combined with the sword... … I think I did it?”
“……is that possible?”
“I know…….”
Of course, there was no way the two of us could come up with an answer..
Ugh.-!
But then.
The sword began to vibrate violently..
At the same time, Abel, who was holding the sword, strangely felt that the sword was pointing in one direction..
As if to say we have to go this way..
Abel told May this without hiding anything..
She had already seen everything, so there was no reason to hide it..
“Let's move first. Because it’s dangerous to stay in one place for a long time.”
May also seemed to have calmed down her embarrassment in the meantime and nodded with her natural expressionless face..
Abel answered that he understood and moved again with his sword held appropriately..
When about 10 minutes had passed since the two of them moved like that,.
parss-.
Where the two had been standing for a while, two men appeared..
They were men who were exploring the ruins around the same time as Abel..
“……Is it outside?.”
“yes, yes.”
The taller and thinner of the two looked around and suddenly swung his fist..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
With that blow, a nearby huge tree burst into pieces..
As if that wasn't enough to relieve his anger, the man almost plowed the nearby land, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and spoke to the fat man..
“Contact the main unit. The operation failed. Maybe the plan was leaked.”
“yes!”
The fat man ran somewhere immediately after receiving the order..
The thin man watched the scene, clicked his tongue, and leaned his back against a nearby tree..
“Because he is a passenger.”
I don't know who it was, but it was a painful mistake to have the relic stolen this time..
The opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, to obtain artifacts and deal damage to the Academy, has been lost..
“Is this fate too?.”
But he calmed down his annoyed feelings and muttered quietly..
Mistakes can happen as many times as you want.
What's important is that the final plan succeeds, so even if you're annoyed, you shouldn't be swayed by it..
He slowly closed his eyes..
Without knowing that he had erased all traces of the ‘passenger’ by causing a disturbance..
* * *
The tension of not knowing when you might encounter the enemy. hunger and thirst.
But the hardest part of all was the uncertainty of not knowing how much longer I had to walk..
The only consolation is that I am not alone..
“How much time has passed?”
Abel deliberately spoke to May to wake her from her daze..
May, who had been walking quietly for some time, answered..
“well… … First of all, a day must have passed”
I can't tell for sure because I don't have a watch, but it seemed to be that much to Abel..
The sun set once and rose again.
The two didn't say the word "when will they arrive?".
Even if you have high expectations, you will only be disappointed..
I just walked in silence, enduring the hunger and pain..
The moment I persevered and reached the top of the high hill.
Paat-!
Suddenly a bright light penetrated my eyelids..
Since this happened without their knowledge, the two hurriedly covered their eyes and raised their weapons. Could it be an enemy attack?.
“Abel! may!”
But the sound I heard was something completely different..
Abel frowned and forced himself to look ahead, and soon after realizing the other person's identity, he opened his mouth..
“Instructor?”
Kaul was standing there with other instructors..
It was the end of a painful journey.
