I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 75
75fury
Del Modor is the best academy on the continent beyond the empire..
The Academy is located in a system that can be said to be the heart of the empire, and its defenses are beyond imagination..
‘But nothing is perfect in this world.’
Abel thought as he ran, squeezing all the strength he had or didn't have..
In the game, the Academy suffers from numerous dangers that do not live up to its reputation..
Where is the academy??
The same goes for the empire that maintained its position as the leading power on the continent for decades after the Great War..
It was only a few months ago that the wall of glory that had never been breached was breached..
Even that's just the beginning.
This world will soon enter an era of full-blown chaos..
I couldn't complain about why something like that was happening now..
‘Because it's that kind of game in the first place.’
Because Abel already knew.
If he hadn't known that fact, Abel would have been satisfied with his job as a gigantic mechanic..
But because he knew the future of this world, he took courage and entered the academy..
Rather than being caught up in the coming chaos, I wanted to get through it myself..
Kwaaaaang-!
A loud noise erupted right behind Abel, who was running hard..
I could feel Henna shaking as I held his hands, but Abel didn't stop..
“Just go a little further!”
Instead, he cheered for Henna in a confident voice..
Because of this incident, a cataclysm will come to the Academy..
The fact that that hideous monster was sleeping in the academy means that someone secretly brought it in..
‘Moreover, the academy's response is disastrous..’
If there had been a clear response system in place, we wouldn't be running like crazy right now..
Considering that there were many strong people in the academy who could be called ‘monsters’, it was truly miserable..
Behind that, there must have been confidence that the academy would not be attacked from within, let alone from the outside..
‘In that respect, this incident can be said to be a good vaccination..’
It's not that no damage occurred, but overall, it would only be minor..
Not only was Henna's rampage suppressed early, but the monsters were also 'attracted' by Abel himself..
If Abel hadn't immediately taken Henna and ran away, the outcome would have been obvious..
Even if the monsters were only targeting henna, there would definitely have been casualties in the process..
But considering those profits and losses is a story for later..
There is no point if we don't overcome this crisis right away..
“Come this way!”
Abel ran and ran, dragging Henna with him. and finally.
Cooung-!
From afar, I heard a noise that was clearly different from the loud noises I had heard before..
Henna didn't seem to notice, but Abel ran in that direction with a bright expression..
When I passed that curved road and entered a long hallway,.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A monster was seen sticking out of the wall. And where I slightly shifted my gaze, there was a Gigant fighting against a monster..
A small-sized gigant. It was Tito.
I haven't paid much attention to it since I started using Miles, but Gigant is Gigant..
The monsters who had made Abel and Hena feel their lives were in danger were falling like leaves from Gigant's punches..
-backwards!
“yes!”
Abel mustered the last of his strength and ran to the back of Gigant..
Cooung-!
Immediately after that, Gigant changed his stance and began swinging his fists indiscriminately at the monsters running towards him..
“Whoosh, whoosh.”
Only after Abel fell backwards was he able to stop and catch his breath..
My lungs felt like they were going to explode and my legs were shaking like aspen trees..
But even then, Abel did not stop assessing the situation..
‘It's huge..’
I didn't realize it while I was running away, but the number of monsters seemed to be over twenty..
It was extremely scary to think that if I had lost my footing, I would have been surrounded by those monsters..
Abel wiped sweat with the back of his hand and looked to the side..
“henna, it's okay?”
“Yes.”
Henna nodded with a pale complexion. Of course, she didn't look all right..
Abel was confident in his physical strength, but his henna was only average..
He was probably in worse condition than Abel..
‘I must have really run with all my might..’
The good news was that she no longer showed any signs of runaway behavior..
Thump, thump, thump-!
Moreover, not long after, a number of additional Gigants appeared..
Some of them joined the Gigant seen earlier and took out the monsters, while the rest ran straight ahead..
It was only after seeing that that Abel was able to completely relax..
‘Did it somehow end well?.’
Those who first started the incident will have no need to worry..
The staff must have woken up immediately after Abel ran away..
Most of the monsters followed Abel, so even if there were one or two, they would have been subdued quickly..
Abel let go of the tension and sat down with his back against the wall..
Henna also sat next to him in silence and just sighed..
“Abel, henna-!”
Some time after that.
I heard voices calling Abel and Hena's names..
It was the sound that signaled the end of the incident..
* * *
The Academy was turned upside down..
Although the atmosphere was turbulent after the Wall of Glory incident and the unpleasant events at practice, it could not be compared to this incident..
All schedules and events were canceled, and even lectures were cancelled..
Of course, this was a story that applied to all grades, not just first grade..
The atmosphere was incredibly scary, and there was even talk that this semester was going to blow up..
Abel, who knew how the outcome would turn out, was not particularly swayed by the atmosphere around him, but the others were different..
“Honestly, I don't understand.”
Daniel said with his arms crossed..
Abel looked up from his book and asked.
“what?”
“It's the same with the Academy being attacked, and frankly, our response was very inadequate, right? I wonder if that makes sense.”
The place they were currently in was none other than Abel's room..
Abel suddenly burst into the room and looked at Daniel, who was talking loudly..
“Why doesn't it make sense??”
“that is… … It's Del Modor.?”
It wasn't really an answer to the question, but on the other hand, it made sense..
Because the name Del Modor has such weight..
In other words, the fact that the Academy was attacked is the same as one of the most important facilities of the Empire being attacked..
But Abel shook his head instead of empathizing..
“I think it could have happened at any time.”
“why?”
“The Academy has never been attacked.”
Abel explained in more detail to Daniel, who still seemed not to understand..
“This means that preparation was negligent. In one word, I let my guard down..”
Actually, there were quite a few reasons to let down your guard..
Abel also briefly summarized it..
“First of all, the academy is not an attractive raid target..”
Basically, most of the teaching staff are semi-retired from the front line, and there are no cadets who would go to the extent of attacking them..
‘Because there are no successors to the royal family, famous families, or important organizations in the academy..’
Most of those who enter the academy, even if they come from famous 'imperial' families, are far from succession and are strictly focused on ability..
“Even if you raid there, it's hard to make a big profit..”
“why is that?”
“Because this is a place that trains Gigant Riders..”
“ah!”
Daniel nodded as if he understood right away this time..
As Abel said, Del Modor is an academy that trains Gigant Riders..
In other words, there are Gigants everywhere. The risk is bound to be high..
‘In fact, this incident would be no different from a disaster for the person who planned it..’
The monsters that chased after Henna and Abel were just a coincidence that woke them up..
This means that it was originally put to sleep for another purpose..
“there for the last time…….”
Abel paused for a moment and ended his story briefly..
“An attack from within would be even more unimaginable..”
In fact, the biggest reason why the Academy's response was inadequate.
That was because the culprit behind all this was none other than Henna, a cadet at the academy..
Hena, heir to the Duchy of Del Chior.
An ordinary cadet who should have had no reason or power to attack the academy..
From the Academy's point of view, it would be like a disaster unfolding out of nowhere..
If Abel had not stepped in to prevent the situation from worsening, Henna would have been severely punished..
In other words, because Abel stepped forward, Henna would not be severely punished..
“but. But what on earth are the people who attacked?.”
“I know.”
Abel agreed appropriately..
As can be seen from Daniel's words, the cause of this incident was completely unknown..
There may be many reasons for this..
First of all, Duke Del Chior would have personally come forward and promised a huge donation to the Academy..
Maybe it was a separate deal with the imperial family..
This is not because the duke is simply a fool, but because Henna is the heir to the principality..
‘The appearance of a monster would also be good luck for Henna..’
Although they were an annoying enemy at the time, their presence brought all attention to them..
Of course, the academy was also intensively digging into that..
And finally, there was no reason for the Academy to let Henna go..
The power of henna can be a great weapon if used well..
Rather than imposing a large punishment and causing friction with the principality, it would have been judged to be more advantageous to keep the debt..
Abel rolled his head and opened his mouth when he realized that Daniel was still standing there with his back against the wall..
“But what are you doing when you’re not back??”
“By Bored. The training ground is closed now..”
“I know the exam isn't over yet?”
“no way. I don't know when it will resume. I'll let you know a few days in advance.”
Abel shook his head at Daniel’s calm answer..
It was clear that he was whining that the test was difficult, but he seemed extremely optimistic..
From Daniel's perspective, Abel focusing on his studies in this situation may seem even more strange..
Abel gave up on chasing Daniel out and buried his head in his book again..
Bygones are bygones.
Right now we have to do what we can..
Then he heard Daniel's voice muttering behind him..
“Something… … It's complicated.”
His voice was uncharacteristically heavy..
Soon Daniel left Abel's room, saying he would return..
A few days have passed since then.
Henna went for questioning immediately after the incident and did not return..
There was still no sign of exams and lectures resuming, and the atmosphere naturally became more chaotic..
Around this time, there were rumors that the semester was really going to end midway..
smart-.
Someone knocked on Abel's door..
Abel got up from his seat and opened the door, but when he saw the paper bag coming under the door, he bent down..
On the envelope was written the emblem of none other than the Klein family..
Abel immediately opened the envelope and checked its contents..
The content of the letter was short, so Abel read it in one go and immediately nodded..
There was written information about the ‘mercenary’ that Abel had requested..
Abel immediately folded the letter, put it in his chest, and changed into his going-out clothes..
‘I'll have to find a way to get out somehow..’
I have something to do. That's also very important.
