I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 62

62fury

The plan to upgrade the Guardian's Shield was something I had been thinking about for a long time..

‘The most efficient upgrade is the Guardian's Shield..’

Upgrading methods for other auxiliary weapons were complicated and not all materials were collected..

On the other hand, the Guardian's Shield is relatively simple to make, and I gathered all the materials through the last Blade Tail mock battle and this practice..

“I created a simple blueprint, and if you look here,…….”

Abel used his spare time to explain to Temarin the blueprint he had prepared in advance..

“If you look here, you can see the basic operating principle of the Guardian's Shield, but it does not significantly affect the basic operation method.…….”

“Reinforcing this with tarterium would likely affect the overall balance, but it would be better to use steel with a very small amount of teleceum added.…….”

Temarin, who is normally timid, began to pour out his opinions at a rapid pace when he started talking..

The two stood there and discussed the blueprint for over an hour..

There were many changes during the process, but the final design was one that Abel liked..

“Hey. As expected, Temarin is a genius..”

Abel muttered unconsciously while looking at the revised blueprint..

Temarin, who had been talking excitedly with him, suddenly seemed to come to his senses when he heard Abel's words, and his cheeks turned red..

“Yes, yes? no. The original basic design itself was good.…….”

“no way. It's much better than the original design, right? I'm already looking forward to the results..”

Temarin lowered her head and avoided eye contact in response to Abel's direct praise..

“Well, then the work will start as soon as the materials and manpower are ready..”

“Ah yes. I will send the money and materials straight to the workshop..”

“yes! Well then, that's it…….”

“You also need to bring a design.!”

Temarin received the blueprint from Abel and hurried away..

Abel looked behind him, then turned his head and looked at Rufus with sparkling eyes..

‘I'm looking forward to it.’

Lupus was currently like white drawing paper..

In the future, a picture will be drawn on that drawing paper. The picture you dream of.

Abel walked forward with such anticipation in mind..

*       *       *

Academy lectures resumed.

However, it was not the case as to whether the lecture would proceed normally..

Some instructors left for a while to conduct investigations, and it was because they had work to do before proceeding with the normal curriculum..

It was to fill in the gaps left by the practice that was interrupted in the middle..

The academy replaced the discontinued exercises with a few simple exams.

“Ugh. I'm really dying.”

“I know… … . the sky turns.”

That was why cadets were making noises of pain here and there..

The test we took today was the operation of a gigant in extreme conditions..

The environment given to each cadet was slightly different, and in the case of Abel's group, it was 'heat'..

This was a test to see how long the Gigant could operate normally in a training area where the temperature was raised to a dangerous level..

It was not an easy test for Abel either, so his whole body was drenched in sweat..

‘Can’t I install something like an air conditioner?…….’

Abel sat leaning against the wall and thought idly..

The Gigant was equipped with a number of magic features for its riders, but did not have features like modern air conditioning..

‘Well, it was at a level where even the air conditioner couldn't handle it..’

It was just a complaint.

“Haha, refreshing.”

At that time, Daniel walked over and said.

Daniel's face looked very refreshed as he wiped off his sweat with a towel..

If anyone looked at it, it looked like it had been in a sauna by itself..

Abel asked with a puzzled expression..

“Aren't you hot??”

“It was hot when I did it. Still, after sweating for the first time in a while, I feel a little lighter.?”

“you… … no.”

Abel gave up trying to understand Daniel..

In the first place, a normal human being would never be able to understand Daniel..

“Ugh, moul.…….”

At that time, Mei, who had just finished her final exam, walked unsteadily..

Compared to Daniel, he looked like a corpse..

Abel shook his head and handed her the water bottle..

“ruler.”

“go… … Mawo.”

As soon as May was handed the water bottle, she took a refreshing drink and lay down on the seat next to her..

It looked like he would never respond even if I tried to talk to him, so Abel just paid attention..

“How come there are no normal people?.”

“You won't look normal to others either..”

“what?”

Daniel gestured around..

“look.”

When I looked around at those words, I saw cadets who had completed the test earlier hanging out all over the place like dried squid..

Also, they are looking at me like I'm some kind of monster..

Daniel added next to him..

“Did you know that you alone can endure twice the average record of others? I thought he died standing up?”

“I just endured it with my mental strength..”

“If it were a problem that could be solved with mental strength, I would have lasted longer than you..”

As the saying goes, Abel's record was unrivaled compared to others..

He lasted 21 minutes, a whopping 3 minutes longer than Daniel, who was next in line..

The average time for others was at most 9 minutes..

“How on earth did you hold on??”

“mentality… … Tricks are just as important.”

“tips?”

“huh.”

Abel explained simply:.

“If it had been a tense battle, you would have lasted longer than me. But for this test, all you had to do was stay still.?”

“It did.”

“So the important thing is to overcome this environment. I endure it somehow. You don't think like this..”

Seeing Daniel with a confused expression even after hearing the explanation, Abel continued speaking..

“When you run, just hold on a little longer! Just run a little more! I don't run thinking like this.?”

“Uh, right.”

“It's similar to that. Just think that this time will pass someday, or just clear your head. It's not about holding on, it's about getting over it..”

Daniel nodded as if he finally understood..

“Hmm. I think I know roughly what it means..”

“okay. Well then, I'm going to take some rest now. Don't touch me.”

Abel said this and covered his face with a towel..

Since I still had some schedule left for today, I had to regain my stamina as much as possible..

*       *       *

After that, the test continued..

Fortunately, there weren't as many things that required physical strength like the first test, but the test lasted all day and everyone was exhausted by the end..

“I'm going to train this evening?”

Except Daniel, of course..

Abel answered with an expression that asked if he was asking something obvious..

“Of course I should. Because you can’t skip it just because it’s hard.”

“To me you both look the same.”

Henna, who was listening to the conversation between the two, said something..

Abel responded to those words with an aggrieved expression..

“I'm not as good as him.”

“no. that's your opinion.”

Henna responded firmly to Abel’s words. Although Abel felt unfair, she could not deny it until the end..

I definitely thought that it might look a little weird to other people..

Most of the cadets probably went back and stretched out as soon as they finished eating.

‘Still, I can't help it.’

Of course, Abel wanted to rest like the other cadets..

But the first time is difficult, the second time is not difficult..

If you start taking a break because it's hard, there's no end to it..

“So henna, let’s train together too..”

“no. I'm going to rest?”

“no way. Last time I saw it, close combat was still lacking..”

“what? I'm pretty decent?”

“I guess I'll have to see it in person to find out.?”

At Abel’s words, Henna blushed and shouted..

“okay! do! sun!”

Abel grinned at her reaction..

Of course, I didn't do this just to make fun of Henna..

‘It's time to keep it aside and observe..’

The henna explosion is just around the corner..

That meant it was time to start showing signs..

It was necessary to observe her in order to get through her outburst without any major problems..

This is because the pattern of runaway varies depending on the reaction when the first signs appear..

‘It would be easier to respond if it was something that was clearly visible..’

As Abel thought this to himself, he cursed at the game he enjoyed playing..

‘For things like this, we just have a set scenario..’

It was a thought I often had..

When I was playing it as a game, it was praised for being easy to play multiple times thanks to the randomness, but when it became reality, it was quite inconvenient..

But I couldn't just complain..

‘Who knows what's going to happen.’

In any case, knowing the knowledge of the future was a tremendous advantage..

Abel shook off his negative emotions and walked diligently..

After eating at the restaurant, we all went straight to the training center together..

Although the details of the training varied from day to day, the overall framework was the same..

First, we warmed up lightly with physical training, and then we took turns sparring..

His main sparring opponent was Daniel, but there were also times when his opponents were Henna or Iolin..

And today's opponent was Henna..

“Even if you think about it, it doesn't seem like there are many gaps.?”

Abel said to Henna while holding his sword.

Hena, who had just struck Abel, responded while clutching her side..

“Because you're so quick without an answer? And what is that stupid big sword??”

“I ordered it separately. I will be using a sword like this from now on.”

The wooden sword Abel was holding was similar in shape to the artifact obtained this time and Gigant's sword..

In other words, it means a ridiculously large wooden sword..

“At that level, it's not a wooden sword, it's just a weapon in itself..”

Henna frowned and said.

In fact, it was as it was said..

Because it's a wooden sword, it's just like a huge club..

“Seeing that you're talking a lot, I guess you still have some free time..”

Abel, who had nothing to say, quickly ran forward before Henna could respond..

“Wow!”

Henna saw that and hurriedly ducked to the side..

Her main weapon is a magic gun..

But since I was currently practicing close combat, I was using my secondary weapon, a sword..

whistling!

Henna's sword flew in, aiming for Abel's gap..

Although it was a harsh attack, Abel responded by leaning forward without any hesitation..

kagak!

The sword collided and Henna's hand, unable to withstand the force, flew up..

“You shouldn't try to compete with me..”

Abel gave her advice and lightly kicked her in the shin..

Wow!

Henna's mouth opened..

Forgetting to respond to pain.

Abel pointed his sword at her neck..

“Ha, surrender.”

In the meantime, Henna did not forget the declaration of surrender..

Abel nodded slightly and took a step back, and Henna then flopped down on the floor..

“shins are fine?”

“What are you doing after kicking me away without mercy?…….”

Abel smiled bitterly at Henna’s grumbling..

I would have been angrier if you had said it that way..

‘Because I have a strong competitive spirit..’

When Abel approached her.

An unfamiliar pattern was visible under the hem of the henna pants that were slightly lifted to check the shins..

“Abel……?”

Abel's face hardened..

swirl pattern.

It was a sign of the runaway that Abel was wary of, and its color was much darker than expected..
