I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 56
56fury
After encountering Kaul and other instructors, Abel and May were able to rest for the first time in a long time..
Abel, who had just finished taking a bath, sat down on the bed with his tired body..
‘After all, planning in your head and executing are completely different matters..’
This incident was an accidental accident from May's perspective, but not from Abel..
From the beginning, the goal was for ruins, and in the end, that goal was achieved..
In other words, it can be said that the situation is much better from a psychological point of view..
But that doesn't mean it was okay..
Even when I rested for a short time, I had to be on guard for an attack, and I had to constantly fight against anxiety and impatience..
If I had not had the experience of wandering the streets and struggling to survive every day in the past, it would have been difficult to maintain composure during this operation..
‘I'm sorry May..’
Abel scratched his cheek..
May also obtained artifacts through this journey, but material things do not solve everything..
It was even more so when I thought about May's appearance while the two of us were walking together..
In particular, it was not a very pleasant memory for Abel to see him take the lead in action out of a sense of responsibility without any of his usual indolence and laziness..
Especially since I know May’s past..
‘I guess I'll have to repay you somehow later. We also talk about how to use artifacts..’
Since repayment does not necessarily have to be material, Abel decided to think about it little by little..
Because this ‘episode’ isn’t completely over yet.
After Abel returned, he tried to find out what was going on, but failed..
Since we had just been rescued, we were told to rest and stabilize first..
‘To secretly go out and find out... … That doesn't seem right.’
Abel thought for a moment and then shook his head..
Normally, I wouldn't have known it, but in the current scary atmosphere, if I was caught engaging in deviant behavior, I might have been disciplined..
When Abel finally gave up on going outside and tried to lie down in bed,.
Sigh-.
Someone came inside with the sound of cloth clashing..
“Abel!”
“henna?”
Abel looked at her in surprise..
“Are you hurt anywhere? are you okay? what is this bandage?”
Henna came closer and lowered her voice and asked various questions..
“are you okay. The bandage is for a little chafing. By the way, you were here too?”
“huh! All the other team members are here too. Every cadet in the area around here will be here.?”
“okay? What the hell happened??”
“That's what I wanted to ask... … . First, let me briefly explain the situation here..”
Hena sat down at the bottom of the bed and told Abel about the previous situation..
After Abel disappeared without a trace with May, everyone was said to be in confusion..
“Two people disappeared without a trace while riding that big Gigant. I really wondered what was going on.”
As she spoke, Henna looked like she wanted to ask about it, but she continued talking..
“And not long after, instructors and troops arrived. Finished the Colossus and picked up the injured cadets..”
“Then that's when you came here?”
“huh. But it turns out that we are not the only ones who have experienced something similar..”
Abel and his group were the only ones who did something reckless like fighting a titan, but similar things happened in many places..
Dozens of giant fragments sometimes attack, and things that were not originally there appear..
Some of the bases were even attacked..
‘You did the right thing.’
Abel thought it was probably the pilgrims' hand..
The good news was that although there were injuries, there were no deaths..
‘thank god.’
Only then was Abel able to relieve the small worries he had had after leaving the ruins..
This is because the artifacts that Abel took from the ruins were of a different type from those in the game..
Somehow, the pilgrims were worried that they might have taken the relics from the original.,
But after listening to the story, it didn't seem like that happened..
“Fortunately, after the abnormal phenomenon was identified, everyone gathered at each base and there was no further damage. You were almost the last.”
“We were the last.”
“Yes, they said that the black cube had a location transmission function, so the approximate location of the cadets was known from above..”
Abel nodded..
“But the two of us weren't having it. It also suddenly disappeared.”
“that's right. So now explain it to me. What the hell happened??”
Henna asked, pressing her face closer..
Abel brought up a story he had prepared in advance for situations like this..
“After making the final attack on the titan, I suddenly lost consciousness..”
“consciousness?”
“huh. When I came to my senses, it was just me and May. The Gigant was so damaged that it could not operate again..”
Abel continued his story step by step..
Henna listened calmly, but when she heard that she had accidentally entered the ruins, she was surprised and asked.
“ruins? Those ruins?”
“huh.”
Abel briefly explained what happened at the ruins..
Of course, I omitted any parts that might be suspicious to others, such as knowing ancient script or having strange experiences..
This also put May under pressure..
Abel continued talking..
“……After passing through the ruins, I was chased by some suspicious people and ran away, finally meeting the instructors..”
“Wow.”
After hearing the whole story, Henna opened her mouth and let out an exclamation..
If you look closely, your eyes are sparkling and your cheeks are flushed..
Abel looked at her and remembered her features..
‘Now that I think about it, this guy is a kid who can't live without dying in adventure stories..’
For Henna, who grew up under overprotection and couldn't go outside often, and didn't have any friends her age, the only thing that gave her comfort was books..
It's a book written mainly with absurd adventure stories..
An ordinary farmer accidentally acquires a relic and becomes a successful knight, or something like that..
“amazing…….”
That's probably why he's out of his mind and muttering like that..
“henna.”
“Yes?”
“So what do you think will happen in the future? They said they'd come back right away?”
“Ah, I guess the story is a little complicated..”
“It's complicated?”
“huh. A considerable amount of money and resources are spent on training like this.…….”
The words were blurry, but I understood what was being said..
But Abel shook his head..
“If that's the problem, it'll eventually come back..”
“Yes? Oh, by the way, she said she met some strange people..”
“huh. If I reported that, wouldn’t the instructors think differently??”
I asked her, but I didn't ask her for an answer..
Because Abel already knew the answer.
It may be that the fragments of the Titan simply became violent, but since we knew that suspicious people were involved, we couldn't force the training..
‘Your grades before the suspension of practice will be reflected as is, and you will do something different after returning..’
Although that 'something else' became the starting point of the next incident, it was a problem to worry about after returning..
Hena also nodded at Abel’s words and said something..
“Anyway, I'm glad you came back safely..”
“I guess you were worried.”
“what? Well, what are you worried about?!”
It was a thoughtless remark, but Henna's face got red and she vehemently denied it..
“We were supposed to work together, but I was just surprised that he suddenly disappeared like that..”
“okay. Let's say so.”
“That's not true!”
Abel found Henna's reaction funny, but he didn't tease him any more..
Because there’s no good in making a fuss now..
“okay. Anyway, shouldn't we go back now? The atmosphere wasn't very good..”
“Oh right! Because I sneaked out. Then I'll just leave..”
“okay. Go back carefully.”
After Henna hurried away, Abel lay down on the bed..
But less than 5 minutes after lying down, I had to get up again..
Because someone came into the tent again..
Abel checked who had entered and immediately raised his upper body..
“Okay. So that you can be comfortable.”
Seeing that, the visitor, Fleta, waved his hand and said:.
The academy's vice principal and general manager of this training visited Abel..
I thought at least an instructor would come and listen to the situation, but unexpectedly, a big name appeared..
“yes. thank you.”
Abel answered politely and waited for Fleta to open her mouth..
Fleta opened his mouth as he took a nearby chair and sat down..
“Before coming here, I heard a story from Cadet May. Now that you know the general situation, can you please tell me what happened without any pressure??”
Fleta didn't look that old, except for his graying hair, but he was actually quite old..
‘He was a veteran who spent a lot of time on the battlefield, so much so that he was nicknamed 'Silver Fleta'..
That was the reason for that hard tone and sharp eyes..
‘You may think you are speaking very softly..’
As Abel thought this to himself, he brought up the past story just as he had told Henna..
After listening to Abel's story to the end in silence, Fleta opened her mouth..
“Can you tell me more about the people you encountered??”
“yes. Most of them were wearing robes. And there was a pattern engraved on the robe.…….”
While saying that, I looked for something to draw a pattern on, and Fleta took out a pen and paper from his arms..
“thank you.”
Abel received it and immediately drew a pattern..
I only saw it once here, but I saw it so many times in the game that it wasn't difficult to draw..
Fleta's face, who was quietly watching the scene, became stiff at some point..
When I finally finished drawing the pattern.
Fleta asked in a low voice..
“Is this pattern clear??”
From the looks of it, Mei didn't seem to remember anything about the pattern either..
Abel put down his pen and said.
“yes. I definitely saw it.”
“Umm…….”
Fleta took the paper, checked it again, and said to Abel:.
“thanks. It was very helpful. Oh, and about the artifact you said you got..”
“yes.”
Currently, the weapon-shaped artifacts acquired by Abel and May have been submitted..
All artifacts from ruins are called relics..
‘Actually, the core artifact is like this bracelet..’
First of all, I kept quiet about the bracelet. No matter how you look at it, it was not an ordinary suspicious item..
So the only thing submitted was the weapon..
Fleta talked about the weapon-type artifact..
“I'll have to research it in detail, but I haven't found any particularly threatening features. Congratulations in advance.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Abel lowered his head with a bright face..
This was because those words were no different from acknowledging ownership of the relic..
Fleta nodded silently and stood up..
“Well then, rest in peace..”
“yes.”
Just like that, Fleta went out and Abel was able to lie down in bed again..
After that, no one came to visit again, and Abel fell into a deep sleep for the first time in a long time..
next morning.
Abel woke up and heard the message that he would stop training and return to the academy..
He said that he would not return by car right away, but would use a gigant to move to a certain point..
‘That's right if you think about safety..’
Even though there is a cadet on board, a Gigant is a Gigant.
It would be much safer than traveling in an unprotected vehicle..
After lunch, Abel grinned when he saw Gigant being reassigned..
-It's been a while.
This was because it was Abel’s own body, Lupus..
