I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 60
60fury
In the thick darkness.
Blue light spread out and brightened the surroundings..
Abel looked blankly at the brilliant light and gradually opened his closed eyes..
“ha.”
Abel let out a hot breath and eventually found a message blinking in the corner of his vision..
‘rank up…….’
After seeing the message, Abel was able to understand what he had just experienced..
While practicing breathing techniques, Abel felt his senses expand..
I didn't notice it at the time because I was in a trance, but now I see that it happened as the grade itself increased..
Lupus said it was simply a small improvement in efficiency, but in reality it was much more than that..
It felt as if the quality of the breathing technique itself had risen to the next level..
“Well, I guess that means the rating has gone up at all..”
Abel muttered to himself and nodded..
‘At this rate, it's okay if you don't have to look for the second half right away..’
Abel's original plan was to find the second half of the Optirum breathing method as quickly as possible, but after using the improved breathing method, he felt there was no need to do so..
This alone made me think that I wouldn't have to feel any regrets in terms of horsepower for a while..
-I guess you like it.
While I was thinking that, Rufus spoke to me..
Abel nodded with a bright expression..
“okay. I quite like it..”
-Is it that much?.
Rufus said that, was silent for a moment, and then made a request..
-If you need help in that area in the future, I'll be happy to help. Instead, I want to be compensated..
“compensation?”
-Yes.
Abel thought for a moment and then answered..
“What do you want??”
-core.
“core? I'm not talking about Gigant's core.?”
-Of course not.
“Hmm.”
Core is a word used in many different senses, but what Rufus was talking about was the core contained in a titan or a fragment of a titan..
It is also called a magic stone, and Gigant's core is also made using the magic stone as a material..
“good. Then I'll get you one as quickly as possible first..”
Abel readily accepted the offer..
The price of the core varies greatly depending on what type it is, but if it was Abel from the days when he was wandering the streets in the past, it could be easily obtained today..
In particular, there were many routes where you could get it cheaply if you used your personal connections..
‘Best of all, it's better if there's a price in some way..’
The relationship between Rufus and Abel was transactional..
It is a relationship that is far from trust or friendship..
In that respect, it was more convenient for Abel to pay in some way rather than blindly receiving help..
-Thank you, master..
Rufus seemed satisfied with Abel's answer..
-Well then, I'm going to go get some rest..
“okay.”
With those words, Rufus became quiet again, and Abel began the breathing technique again..
I planned to continue special training in breathing techniques until the end of the treatment period..
Just like that, silence returned to Abel's room..
* * *
Abel's routine during his convalescence was simple..
Eat, practice breathing, sleep, eat again, practice breathing, and sleep..
It was on the last day of the treatment period that there was such a change in my treadmill-like daily life..
“Hmm.”
Abel looked at the large sword leaning on one side of the room..
It was so big and thick that it looked more like a chunk of metal than a sword..
“Luckily it's not heavy.…….”
After muttering that, Abel raised his sword..
It didn't feel as heavy as before. Just enough to hold and swing with both hands.
‘What is this??’
Of course, Abel also wanted to find out about the sword..
However, since most of the sword's abilities were sealed, there was nothing to find out..
‘First of all, we need to open the form conversion to be able to check something..’
Unsealing this artifact, which belongs to a relic, was impossible right now..
This is because this artifact requires a specific location as one of the conditions for releasing the seal..
The location is outside the academy. It was also quite far away..
Looking at the current situation at the Academy, it was impossible to go outside for the time being..
‘I guess I should aim for vacation time..’
Abel looked around at the sword and leaned it against the wall again..
‘I'll have to look into how to get there once the permission to go out is lifted..’
Going out will resume again soon..
The aftermath of this incident will not be as bad as the last Wall of Glory incident..
On the surface, it appeared that the fragments of the giant had become more ferocious than before and had withdrawn..
Only a few people knew the true truth..
Cadets were also strictly controlled by instructors..
Of course, the same was true for Abel..
The fact that ownership and permission to possess relics was determined relatively easily also included a price for their accession..
‘Well, there is nothing good about the truth being exposed..’
The original empire had many enemies. Therefore, incidents that ordinary people are unaware of occur more frequently and more often than expected..
‘It won't last that long though.’
Even peace has an end.
During vacation, an incident occurs in the empire..
It was a huge event that could turn the entire empire upside down..
‘At that time, everyone will realize that the peace we are enjoying now is in jeopardy..’
Abel was also maximizing his power to prepare for that time..
‘From then on, it wasn't just about grades that mattered..’
At that time, you would have to worry about survival, not grades..
You can no longer just take classes safely inside the academy..
When I think about it, this was a peaceful time in many ways..
Like just before a typhoon comes.
“Oh, isn't that exactly the case?…….”
Although it wasn't as big as the incident during the vacation, there was a fairly large incident scheduled for a few weeks from now..
This is the henna explosion incident..
‘That won't be easy either.’
I've been looking for a solution for a while now, but it wasn't as easy as I thought..
“Phew.”
Abel sighed and stood up..
I couldn't just sit in my room sighing just because I had something to worry about..
‘It would be perfect if I went out now..’
Since he was told to stay completely at rest until noon on the last day, Abel simply got dressed and left the room..
When I came out, I saw a dormitory building that was as lively as usual..
Looking at the faces of the cadets, it seemed like they had already forgotten everything about the past training..
‘Well, if you can't get over even that level of shock, you probably won't be able to survive academy life..’
Unlike other academies, Del Modor Academy is all about nurturing elite Gigant Riders, so anyone who can't keep up is left behind..
“Abel!”
While I was walking with dark thoughts, someone approached me calling Abel..
I turned my head and Daniel was standing there..
‘Do I have bad relationships with friends?…….’
Abel thought that to himself. For some reason, whenever someone called, it was always Daniel..
“What are you doing? With a sullen expression?”
“No, just.”
Since he couldn't say what was on his mind, Abel just vaguely shook his head..
“What, are you going to eat? Come with me.”
“okay.”
Daniel and Abel walked to the restaurant together..
Perhaps because we came a little early, the restaurant was quite deserted..
“I'm going to train tonight?”
Just as we were about to receive our food and sit down to eat, Daniel asked a question..
Abel answered as he put down his spoon..
“That's how it should be. Because I rested for a long time.”
“Then let’s go out to dinner together. It's a pity that without you, I don't have a suitable sparring partner..”
“henna?”
“These days, even though I'm doing other training, I don't often go to the public training center. I was almost confined to my personal training center.?”
“okay?”
The personal training center that Daniel mentioned was not capable of operating Gigant like Abel's, but was just a facility attached to the training center..
If it's a personal training center, it's probably the type of training you don't want to show to others..
‘Is it starting already?.’
Abel knew what it was.
As a result of an incident during training, she practices the 'family vision' in an effort to quickly improve her skills, which becomes the core of the runaway incident..
“Then, I’ll see you at the training center around 7 o’clock..”
“What to do until then?”
“I'm trying to take care of some things that have been delayed..”
I had a favor to ask my sponsor, Scarlett, and I also had a promise with Temarin..
I decided to make a request after the training was over, but I still haven't been able to find it..
Daniel nodded in understanding and continued eating..
By the time I almost finished eating,.
“Abel. Is there any student Abel??”
Someone looked for Abel and started calling his name..
When Abel turned his head, he saw an employee of the academy whose face he had seen several times..
“Here it is.”
“Ah, great. Please follow me for a moment.”
“yes.”
Since they had almost finished eating, Abel asked Daniel for permission and got up..
As I was leaving the dormitory building, the staff explained why I had been summoned..
“Cadet Abel, I brought you a completed request from the Vulcan Workshop where you entrusted the request. The items were immediately moved to your personal training facility..”
“Oh, is that right??”
Abel's expression brightened as it was completed faster than expected..
‘I thought it would take a month longer..’
The production period is also limited, but basically, the Vulcan Workshop is always backed up with requests..
So originally, it was not easy to place a request..
Abel has experience working there, so I thought it would be easy to entrust the request, but it would take quite some time..
The employee smiled and said.
“That's right. The workshop staff will be waiting for you, so it might be a good idea to go right away..”
“yes. thank you.”
After saying thank you, Abel headed towards the training ground..
As I walked at a fast pace, it wasn't long before a familiar training ground came into view..
I walked over to it, unlocked it, and went inside, and I saw a huge sword lying on one side..
Even at a glance, it did not look like a supply weapon..
And there was a familiar person standing in front of it..
“Abel!”
A woman waving her hand with a bright expression. It was none other than Kaya..
Abel greeted me as he approached the place..
“Kaya. What's going on here?”
“For some reason. I came here to deliver something..”
“What about the reception desk??”
“I have to have days off too..”
Kaya grinned as she said that..
Abel also smiled and answered..
“Then you should rest, why are you working??”
“When you come out of the workshop, you take a break, right? Anyway, check the items first. I feel at ease when I know that our supplier or client likes us..”
“Yes, yes. Let's take a look.”
While exchanging jokes, Abel slowly walked around the sword..
the sword was huge.
I'm not just saying it because it was for a Gigant, it was bigger than a normal Gigant weapon..
‘It's similar to the sword I got this time..’
It may have been a coincidence, but it looked similar to the relics obtained from the ruins..
Abel followed the sword all the way around and spoke to Kaya..
“I can't do it..”
“huh?”
Abel said to Kaya, who was embarrassed, with sparkling eyes..
“I need to try it right away.”
