I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 73

73fury

This practice test had a strong nature of showing off to others..

4This is because when you become a cadet, you often receive specific missions and go outside for long periods of time rather than fighting in a designated exam room..

That's why so many people attended the practice test..

‘As it is, it is an event that you can just comfortably observe and return..’

But one problem turns what should be a peaceful event into the scene of a terrible incident..

Abel knew that better than anyone else..

If he had enough power, he could have prevented the incident in the first place..

But he was just a cadet.

This means that even if you claim that there is a problem, there is a high probability that it will not work..

‘Even if it works, it's impossible to deal with it..’

Abel wiped his face..

Naturally, he thought of many ways..

Since the cause of the problem is henna, wouldn't it be okay to just ban her from participating in this visit? She had one of those thoughts..

But that also had a problem.

The point was that even if this incident was overcome safely, the fundamental problem would not be solved..

‘In fact, it is more dangerous in some ways. Because I don’t know when it will explode.’

I decided that if I touched it for no reason, it could actually make the situation worse..

Therefore, even though Abel was anxious, he did not act rashly..

‘'Cause I've done everything I can right now.’

While Abel was thinking that.

Boom, boom-!

After all the cages containing the Colossus' fragments were moved, Gigants appeared one after another..

4Even at a glance, the cadets' gigants looked unusual..

There was not a single ordinary supply plane among them, and they were all specially modified..

‘It's huge..’

Abel was secretly impressed when he saw that..

The Gigants, perfectly modified to fit the rider, were works of art in themselves..

Just by walking, I could see how delicate the hand was..

Thump, thump, thump-!

So the Gigants took their seats on one side..

The number is exactly four.

Four people fight against over a hundred fragments of titans..

“That's amazing. With only four people.”

Daniel muttered quietly with admiration..

Abel nodded at him..

“4Most first-year cadets are preliminary Gigant Riders..”

“Do you think we can do that lightly when we reach 4th grade??”

“If you don't have those skills, you'll fail before then..”

“but. I guess so.”

Even while we were talking, the preparation for the practice test proceeded step by step..

Gigant stood in a formation on one side, and the people who were managing us slipped out in the meantime..

‘There's still time.’

Abel looked at that and thought..

Today's practice test will be conducted in three parts..

The problem arose early in the third test, when there was still about two hours to spare..

-Exam starts soon!

While I was doing calculations in my head, a voice rang out telling me that the test was about to start..

And then 5 minutes later.

-Restraint bars open!

Thump, thump-!

The cage that contained the fragments of the giant was spread out..

When the bars blocking the surroundings suddenly disappeared, the fragments of the giant were momentarily confused, but soon showed strong aggression..

Naturally, that aggression was directed at the Gigants lined up on one side..

-purr.

As soon as the window opened, no one rushed to it, but everyone swallowed their saliva and looked at the sight..

thud!

At that time, Gigant, who was standing in front, took action first..

He grabbed the huge spear with both hands and jumped forward..

Thump, thump, thump!

The fragments of the giant nearby showed different reactions, as if they didn't expect him to attack first..

There were some who ran against me and others who retreated..

They looked like a ragtag bunch, but since they were so numerous, they were threatening enough..

If they were first-year cadets, they would have been scared and backed away when they saw twenty Colossus fragments charging at them at a time..

But the Gigant Rider in front of me didn't do that..

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

The moment the fragment of the titan came into range, a huge spear swept the surrounding area at high speed..

The three were hit without being able to avoid the blow, and they bounced back and couldn't get up..

However, the number of still intact giant fragments was much greater and the distance was further narrowed..

It was then.

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Gigant hit the ground with one foot.

The moment the foot that was raised high touched the ground, there was a strong roar and the surrounding ground trembled like liquid..

Without exception, the fragments that were standing on the ground were unbalanced and stumbled..

thud!

It was then that the other riders who had been standing still took action..

They ran out with agile movements as if they were completely unaffected by the floor and began attacking the staggering fragments of the giant..

Even though the fragments were much more numerous, they were not able to capitalize on their numerical advantage and were unilaterally pushed back..

Abel looked there and muttered..

“It's over.”

“I know.”

Daniel also nodded in agreement..

Originally, the difference in force itself was relatively large, but the number of Titan fragments was decreasing in real time..

There's nothing more to see at this rate.

“It feels like watching a fight between an adult and a child.…….”

“Even if we fight now, it will feel the same?”

“I guess so. Because there is no comparison in every way.”

I was thrilled when I saw the vice principal and instructors fighting before, but it touched me even more when I saw fellow cadets fighting..

Because they were, at most, only 3 to 4 years different from the first-year cadets in terms of experience..

The battle was as one-sided as the two talked about..

They literally swept away the fragments of over a hundred giants without allowing a single proper hit..

So the first practice was coming to an end..

*       *       *

The second exercise was conducted similarly to the first..

The overwhelming skills of Gigant riders. And one-sided massacre.

Therefore, by the time the third practice began, everyone was relaxed..

However, on the contrary, Abel had already raised the tension to its peak a long time ago..

Naturally, all his attention was focused on henna..

Daniel sometimes gave me strange looks, but I didn't have time to worry about that right now..

‘It's not strange no matter when it explodes.’

Even if it looks a little strange, you shouldn’t miss the signs..

If that happens, all the efforts you've made so far will be in vain..

Cooung-!

The gigants are lined up in a row..

The cage that contained the fragments of the giant was slowly opened..

Just before the third practice test started.

Henna, who was looking down at the exam room with an interested expression like the other cadets, suddenly frowned..

Abel could see her shaking..

I also saw a cadet next to me notice something strange and start talking to me..

and…….

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

Suddenly, an enormous wave of magical power swept the surroundings..

“Ugh.”

Abel curled up, feeling a strong headache..

Grumbling-.

At the same time, red powder flowed from his hand..

It was one of the artifacts prepared for this moment, and had the effect of reducing the impact of high-density magic power as much as possible..

It shattered all at once, but fortunately there were still two more left..

‘It's a mess.’

The surrounding scene could not be said to be okay, even with empty words..

Because most of the cadets and faculty members were unconscious and lying limp..

It was only natural that I was exposed to the high density of magic waves without any preparation..

It's not life-threatening or there will be any aftereffects, but you won't wake up for at least an hour..

This is one of the reasons why this incident turned into a big incident..

“Whoop.”

Abel took a deep breath and stood up..

It wasn't usually difficult to move because my whole body was so weak, but now it was time to move..

The henna rush hasn't even really started yet..

“Hmm…….”

As I walked through the passed out people and got close to Henna, I heard her voice..

Henna was curled up, moaning in pain. She and she's about to get closer.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Once again a wave of magic swept the surroundings..

The wave, stronger than before, almost blew Abel's mind away for an instant..

Abel, who stumbled greatly, barely regained his balance and reflexively looked to the side..

The bleachers were a mess, but the inside of the testing center was even worse..

The fragments of the giant that had already been released from the cage began to gather together after seeing what was going on..

But there was a different problem.

‘Gigants…….’

All of the Gigants were acting as if they were broken..

‘magical interference.’

Abel thought with a frown..

The magic wave of henna caused by the runaway exerts a strong ‘interference’ effect..

When it is aimed at a person, it only causes fainting, but in the case of a gigant, it has a more serious effect..

The gigant itself stops working..

‘But we're not there yet.’

If it had been at the level of destroying the Gigant all at once, Abel wouldn't have even tried to stop it..

As long as they are stopped in time, the Gigants will quickly recover and be able to deal with the monsters that have started to get excited..

“Whoop.”

Therefore, Abel forced his trembling legs to move and walked..

The closer he got to the henna, the more blurred his vision became, but Abel gritted his teeth and held on..

Clang-.

Another artifact shattered and scattered..

However, Abel succeeded in getting right in front of Henna..

Quack-.

Abel bit his lip roughly and took out another artifact from his pocket..

It was an artifact made by processing Azelkior's core..

Abel immediately put it on Henna's neck..

But at that time, there were signs that magic power was about to burst out of Henna's body once again..

Wow……!

But the magical power was scattered as if something was blocking it..

Abel sighed in relief and looked closely at the artifact..

‘There's a crack.’

There was a crack in the artifact he held around his neck..

At first, Abel calculated that this artifact was able to stop Henna's magic power surge about three times..

In other words, this artifact alone cannot completely resolve this situation..

‘good.’

But it was enough to buy time.

The Gigants were slowly recovering their movements, and the fragments of the Colossus were still passively observing the situation..

Now there was only one thing for Abel to do..

It was to calm down Henna's rampage..

“Whoa whoa.”

Abel took a long breath and held Hena's shoulder tightly with determined eyes..

While spending time alone with Henna for several weeks, Abel prepared an arrangement..

The cause of the runaway was the imprint's reaction to Henna's unstable psychology..

The two of them tried to solve the psychological problem by spending time together, but Abel failed..

Even when I asked what was going on, Henna just smiled and let it flow..

‘but.’

The story is different once the psychological problem has fully exploded..

‘I can do it now.’

Abel took out a red powder from a pouch hanging on his belt, made Henna breathe it, and then drank it himself..

The name of this powder, originally used as a magic ingredient by shamans in remote areas, was 'Daydream'.’.

This would open the way to the answer to this problem..

Abel was so sure that he slowly closed his eyes..

Soon, his mind became completely clouded..
