I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 67
67fury
I was surprised for a moment.
Abel answered politely..
“Mr. Leel. You can speak comfortably..”
This is a society with a strict caste system..
You might not know it from within the walls of the academy, but from the outside, Abel was just a commoner..
On the other hand, since the other person was the successor of a famous samurai family, there was a clear difference in status..
So Abel also implicitly mentioned that he was a commoner..
“no. It is natural to treat an outstanding warrior accordingly.!”
But Reel did not care when he heard Abel’s words..
Rather, she also continued speaking while being polite to Abel..
‘You're quite good at the imperial language..’
Abel thought as he listened to her..
There were many languages on this continent.
If we were to compare the imperial language with the languages of Earth, it could be said to be in a similar position to modern English..
As a result, many people wrote and learned.
Reel's imperial language was such that there was no discomfort at all in conversation..
Although he had a foreigner-like accent and his speaking style was very stiff..
‘The way you talk is a bit quaint..’
Even while he was thinking these thoughts, Reel did not stop speaking..
“The battle just now was very impressive. I thought I had definitely won, but when I came to my senses, I was completely cornered..”
“I just got lucky.”
“It's luck... … . For martial artists, that is also part of their skills. by the way.”
Leel looked around for a moment and spoke quietly..
“If it's okay, can we talk for a bit before dinner??”
Abel was secretly perplexed by her suggestion..
This was because it was a matter that he could not easily decide on his own..
Fortunately, I didn't have to answer that directly..
“It's good to interact with talented people. Isn't that right??”
While the two were talking, Scarlett, who had been taking a step back, came forward and said:.
The person she was speaking to was not Reel, who made the suggestion first, but Alten Blaine, who was standing behind her..
Alten responded to Scarlett's words with a big smile..
“Haha, of course. The reason I brought Reel here in the first place was to give him experience of the world. Above all, wouldn't it be boring to hang out with old people like us??”
‘Scarlett's forehead tensed for a moment at the mention of 'old people like us', but she smiled and nodded..
“……That's right. It would be better to talk comfortably in the living room..”
Scarlett said so and ordered a servant to guide her personally..
So, without realizing it, Abel and Reel followed the servant to the drawing room..
The reception room was on the first floor, and it was a large and extravagant place I had never seen before..
It appeared to be a place used to entertain important guests..
Abel sat across the table from Reel in awkward silence..
The first time Reel opened his mouth was after the servant left refreshments and tea on the table..
“Did you feel uncomfortable asking for a conversation??”
Abel was taken aback by the sudden question, but answered with a smile..
“Not at all. I also thought I would like to have a conversation..”
“okay! Fortunately, the.”
Leel looked visibly relieved by the answer..
“Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions??”
“yes. That's right.”
Reel asked for permission and began to pour out words as if he had been holding them back for some time..
“Is the weapon you originally used the same as the one you use today? And did you learn swordsmanship separately? It was very unique..”
“hmm. First of all, weapons tend to have longer and wider blades. To this extent.”
Abel roughly drew the image in the air..
Leel exclaimed in admiration..
“It's very huge. Is there a reason you use such a sword??”
“Oh, that's.”
Originally, it was a weapon I decided to use with the sword skills I would acquire later, but I couldn't talk about it honestly..
Therefore, Abel created an answer by combining it with the second question..
“In the past, I happened to learn some sword skills from a retired mercenary. The weapon he used was similar to the sword described earlier..”
“indeed… … ! That's why it has a very practical feel..”
“That's right.”
I couldn't help but feel practical..
Because he didn't have any special sword skills to begin with. From the time he was rolling at the bottom to after he entered the Academy.
It was simply a skill developed through countless practical experiences..
Still, Reel seemed satisfied with Abel's answer and asked another question with blushing cheeks..
“The most impressive thing was the way Gigant was handled. It felt like I had become one with Gigant..”
“haha. Due to circumstances, I had experience driving Gigant from a young age. They weren't the right ones.”
“Can I ask what the situation is??”
It was a potentially difficult question, but I wasn't particularly embarrassed this time..
This was because I had thought that this question would come up at least once in advance and had organized it all in my head..
Abel said in a calm voice..
“I am an orphan. I went from low to low and did all kinds of jobs to make a living. Meanwhile, I happened to see him and fought on a Gigant in an illegal duel..”
“okay.”
When Reel heard Abel's story, he nodded without feeling any reluctance or resistance..
Abel was surprised by that reaction..
‘what is this guy?’
The story he just told was full of elements that an ordinary noble would find repulsive..
Even though there was an exception, Scarlett, most of them would have shown signs of open discomfort..
Abel was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly..
“At that time, I risked my life and fought to survive. As I continued to fight and fight, at some point it felt like Gigant was one with me. Of course, it might be an illusion..”
“no. When I saw you fighting today, it was exactly as it was said. I've been amazed so many times..”
Reel shook his head at Abel's words and praised him..
The more Abel talked, the more he had no idea what kind of person Reel was..
It was because he asked too many questions too actively to simply share his thoughts on the battle..
When Abel closed his mouth, Reel cautiously opened his mouth as if he felt something..
“I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable by asking too many questions..”
“Not at all.”
“If so, I'm glad. that…….”
Leel hesitated for a moment and said.
“I felt many things in Dalian today. Not only did I still lack a lot, but I also thought that there were people of the same age who were already so far ahead..”
“too much praise…….”
“So, can I contact you often in the future??”
“yes?”
Abel was surprised and asked loudly..
Reel looked at Abel casually and spoke again..
“I say this with the hope that we will continue to communicate..”
“What is exchange?…….”
“That's literally it. We spar regularly and exchange letters..”
After hearing her words, Abel thought.
‘Is the culture of the United Kingdom much different from what I know? Or is there some ulterior motive??’
Even after thinking about it, there was nothing like that..
If you look closely, there may be differences, but the general aspects are the same..
Of course, after sparring once, there was nothing like a noble heir suggesting that he keep in touch with a commoner..
When Abel was confused inside. Leel added a word.
“This is a story told not as an heir to the Blaine family, but as a warrior. Please feel free to answer..”
Reel's eyes were very straight as he said those words..
To the point where I feel ashamed of thinking about what the intention behind this is..
Finally, after much deliberation, Abel opened his mouth..
“It's an honor for me. If you regularly interact with great people like Leel, you can learn a lot..”
“Is that true! thank you!”
Reel seemed to have finally relaxed, and even twitched his tongue and said thank you..
Abel smiled awkwardly and nodded..
Whatever it was, it was beneficial to interact with Leel..
Because I had no connections in the United Kingdom..
It was a good thing since I had always thought of showing kindness to the United Kingdom from the beginning..
“Oh, can I ask you a few more questions? Regarding the last technique used…….”
Reel continued to ask many questions after that..
Naturally, the topics were mostly combat-related..
Even Abel, who was awkward at first, later started talking happily..
Anyway, it was a topic that Abel also liked..
smart-.
The conversation stopped after there was a knock on the door..
“It's 2 hours before dinner..”
As we chatted so frantically, it wasn't long until dinner..
“I guess I should get up soon..”
“Ah yes!”
Reel got up from his seat, looking regretful..
I had to wash and change clothes before dinner, so I had to get ready now so I could go with plenty of time..
“then.”
The two exchanged greetings and parted ways..
We'll meet again at dinner anyway..
Abel thought as he followed the maid to the room..
‘Reel didn't appear in the game.’
It's not that it doesn't have a small role, and it's never even appeared in the game..
Of course, not everyone in this world is in the game..
Among the characters in the game, only a few hundred are mentioned by name at most..
In other words, it is common to encounter characters who have never appeared in games..
but.
In Leel's case, the story was a little different..
‘Her family was explained, and her knight even appeared as an important supporting character..’
Family name. house owner. A knight who originally belonged to a family.
These things appeared in the game, but only the successor's name was not mentioned.?
In addition, Reel's skills were outstanding even in Abel's opinion..
So much so that even if you come to the academy right away, you can get into the top ranks right away..
In other words, there is no reason not to appear..
Therefore, Abel had no choice but to come to one conclusion..
‘There is a high probability that Leel will die or experience something similar..’
The conclusion is that there is a high probability that it is not something that did not appear, but that it was ‘bad’..
Having come to that conclusion, Abel's face couldn't help but harden..
‘At most one year until the Blaine family disappears..’
That was also if it was maxed out, and there was a chance that it would go extinct sooner..
The problem was that there was no way to let Leel know about it..
What should I say??
Take care because your family is going to be destroyed soon.?
Rather than being believed, they were much more likely to feel insulted.
“The bath water is ready. Shall I show you around right away??”
While he was walking for a while, a maid asked him:.
“yes. I will do that.”
Abel answered briefly and followed the maid straight to the bathroom..
And soon after, I muttered as I soaked myself in a bath full of hot water..
“If you intervene in any way, the repercussions will be big..”
Method aside, rescuing Reel was risky in many ways..
Because the future that Abel knew could have gone wrong..
‘but…….’
Abel suddenly remembered the moment he spoke with Reel..
Those eyes that looked at you with pure passion.
‘first… … I'll have to wait and see..’
Abel, unable to resolve his tangled thoughts, slowly closed his eyes..
