I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 79

“that… … I think it would be better to talk after we finish eating..”

“I guess so. wait in front.”

After saying that, Iolin turned around and walked away..

However, the gaze towards Abel remained the same. As soon as she left her spot there, Daniel spoke to her again..

“Abel.”

“Maybe it's because of the training..”

“Alone on holiday?”

“Originally, the training was done by the two of us..”

“Where are you going??”

“You weren't really interested in this sort of thing before.?”

Abel narrowed his eyes and asked Daniel..

For some reason, he usually didn't seem that interested, but recently he seemed to have become very persistent..

Daniel shrugged his shoulders and answered..

“Nothing particularly interesting has happened lately..”

“Oh yeah…….”

“okay okay. I won't ask any more.”

Fortunately, Daniel brought up another topic before Abel's mood became even more depressed..

“Anyway, what are you going to do during vacation? Oh, did I mention this last time? I just said I was going to practice throughout the vacation.?”

“I will be training, but I will also be traveling outside a lot. you?”

“I plan to stay and just practice. If I go back, there is nothing to do. But if it's outside, where??”

“what… … The schedule hasn't been decided yet.…….”

Abel finished his plate cleanly and spoke again..

“I think it would be nice to go out and have fun for a day or two..”

“Are you going to have fun? Where?”

“That too is undecided. If you are interested, would you like to go together??”

“I'm good! I was going to stay stuck in the dorm anyway..”

Daniel readily accepted..

I expected that to happen.

‘Because Daniel and I are in a similar situation..’

Abel was practically alone here..

I had precious people and places, but I didn't have a home or family to return to..

Daniel was similar..

Even if it wasn't for training, you wouldn't necessarily feel like going back to your original place..

“Oh, it looks like May will still be at school. Should I ask her??”

“okay. It's good to have a lot of people.”

“that's right. I'll have to ask Henna when she gets back..”

Abel nodded..

Even if that wasn't the case, I was planning on making the same offer to Henna as soon as I got back..

‘I'll be back soon.’

According to what I heard from Scarlett before, he should be back in a few days..

I was secretly worried because I hadn't seen his face even once since then..

At first, we became friends for some purpose, but now, whether we knew it or not, our affection had built up..

“Then I wake up first. Let's talk about the details later..”

“okay.”

Daniel nodded, leaned forward slightly and said.

“If you have any interesting stories, please tell me too..”

“……Goes.”

Abel neatly ignored it and got up from his seat..

After returning the plate and coming out, I saw Iolin standing not far away..

I was really waiting for him outside the whole time..

Abel was inwardly embarrassed and approached her..

“I waited a long time?”

“no. By the way, this is what I said earlier..”

“Oh, are you free on the weekend? Can you tell me where you're going??”

Iolin answered without much hesitation..

“I'm thinking of going to buy an artifact that can help with magical power. Can I get some help??”

“Artifact? where to buy?”

“I'm still thinking about that. I don't know much about the geography of the islands..”

Abel was about to ask why he wanted to go buy it himself, but held back..

‘He had a personality like that to begin with..’

Iolin had great expectations from his family, and in fact, he lived up to those expectations..

Perhaps if she asks the family for the artifact she wants, she will be able to receive the highest quality item without any difficulty..

However, Iolin basically did not like receiving support from his family..

I guess you could say that I want to solve everything with my own power..

That's probably why I asked Abel, a fellow cadet, for help regarding magical power..

This incident seemed to be in the same context..

“okay. I was planning on going outside anyway..”

“okay? I'm glad.”

Iolin smiled softly at Abel’s acceptance..

Abel paused for a moment at the smile on her lips, which always had an expressionless face..

“So how about Saturday morning??”

“huh? Ah, yes. are you okay.”

“okay. Then I'll be waiting here for you on Saturday morning..”

Iolin then said goodbye and left first..

Abel stared blankly at her back for a moment and then slowly walked away..

*       *       *

Abel visited Carlton and trained throughout the officially granted leave period..

Anyone who looked at the training method would say that it was simple and ignorant, but Abel digested it without a word..

It wasn't because I said I wouldn't raise an objection when I first signed the contract, but because I had faith..

‘At least the results are guaranteed.’

Knowing Carlton and deciding to visit him were all thanks to my knowledge of the game..

If I hadn't believed it in the first place, there would have been no reason to visit..

So, of course, the belief in the results was also the same..

I believe that I will definitely grow if I complete this training..

Whether it was difficult or not was a separate question..

“Ugh, I'm dying..”

Abel lay on the bed and muttered..

Normally, I would have gotten up and taken a shower as soon as I opened my eyes, but I couldn't do that today..

Because my muscle pain was at its peak..

Carlton knew that Abel would not be able to visit regularly, so he created a separate training schedule for him..

Abel followed the training schedule without any cuts, and as a result, he felt his body getting weaker as each day passed..

Of course, Carlton didn't plan his training schedule without much thought..

‘Still, I'm glad I have a holiday..’

According to the training law, after three days of training, one day of rest was required..

That's today.

Even if all recovery methods within the academy were utilized, the limitations were clear..

Considering that, one day of rest after three days of training was a very appropriate allocation..

‘I have a physical training class today, so I'll have to rest in the morning..’

After reviewing the day's schedule in his head, Abel closed his eyes for a moment and rested..

It was almost time for the morning lecture when he got out of bed..

“Ugh.”

Abel woke up with a groan and went straight to the shower room and then headed to the restaurant..

Even though there was not much time left for the lecture, the restaurant was quite crowded..

These are probably people who trained late and came to eat right before the lecture..

Since he had told Daniel to eat first and leave, Abel received the tray by himself and sat down on one side..

Maybe because I was so weak, I couldn't get the rice in, but I managed to stuff it into my mouth and finished the meal quickly..

‘The first class was meditation.’

Luckily, the classroom wasn't that far away..

Abel immediately left the dormitory building and headed to the building where the lecture was being held..

But while I was walking for a while. someone was talking to him.

“Abel!”

cheerful voice.

Abel turned his head involuntarily and opened his eyes wide..

“henna?”

“huh. good morning.”

Henna approached me and naturally greeted me as if nothing had happened..

Abel nodded slightly and answered..

“good morning. I'm going to take the lecture again starting today.?”

“huh. Because I rested enough.”

Henna said with a smile.

Officially, the reason Henna missed the lecture was due to personal health issues..

Henna knew that Abel was aware of the truth, but she knew well that she should not say it out loud in a public place like this..

“I'm glad. my body is fine?”

“of course. In fact, it seems to be stronger than before.?”

Henna answered jokingly..

Abel smiled at her bright appearance and said,.

“But isn't the classroom over here? It would be the complete opposite.”

“huh? ah! right.”

Henna realized it too late and immediately said goodbye..

“I'll go! See you after the lecture!”

“okay.”

Abel nodded appropriately and started walking again..

Unlike usual, I felt special as I headed to the classroom alone, but that feeling didn't last long..

For some reason, I felt the stinging gaze from those around me..

To be exact, I felt the gaze not long after I started talking to Henna, but even after she left, the gaze did not leave..

I just rolled my eyes and looked around to see that the cadets around were looking at Abel with sharp eyes..

Mainly male cadets.

“That guy?”

“From Iolin to Henna…….”

When I focused a little more, I could even hear the sound of a conversation..

Abel was perplexed when he heard the contents..

‘I was originally close with Henna..’

Why are you saying that now??

It seems that the conversation I had with Lee Olin at the restaurant had a bigger impact than I thought..

Actually, it was natural.

The relationship between Abel and Iolin had a very business-like feel..

But the problem was that Iolin was close to almost no one except Abel..

I did have one friend who was from the same area, but since we were of the same sex and felt like childhood friends, I treated him as an exception..

‘It's unfair..’

Although it was unfair to Abel, there was nothing he could do about it..

Because I couldn't go out and explain that we weren't in that kind of relationship..

It was an insignificant worry compared to the other worries he had right now, but Abel started walking while feeling an uneasy feeling..

The lecture proceeded as usual..

The instructors consistently showed signs of fatigue, as if the aftereffects of the past incident were still lingering, but the lecture itself remained the same as before..

The cadets, who had been stretched out due to the unprecedentedly long break, gradually returned to their original form..

After all the scheduled lectures are over,.

“Oh, I saw it this morning too.”

“okay?”

Abel was leaving the classroom while talking with Daniel..

The subject of the story was none other than henna..

“huh. He said I had to wait for someone and told me to go first..”

“hmm.”

Abel made a strange expression at Daniel’s words..

When I saw him in the morning, I thought I just ran into him by chance, but after listening to Daniel, I felt like that wasn't the case..

But I couldn't think about it for long..

“Abel! Daniel!”

It was because a familiar voice called the two..

“henna!”

Daniel waved his hand with a bright face..

Henna must have arrived as soon as the lecture ended, holding a book in one hand..

Abel said to her.

“How do you feel about taking a lecture after a long time??”

“It's the same. Still, it was fun to hear it after a long time..”

Hena answered lightly, looking at Abel and Daniel alternately..

“Anyway, let's start at the restaurant first. I'm hungry.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

Since they had no intention of standing still and talking, the three of them continued their conversation while walking..

“Final exams have been canceled and the academic schedule has been shortened, so vacation is just a few weeks away..”

“I know. It feels like time has suddenly passed by..”

“Still, it's good that the vacation period is longer.”

While chatting, when the topic of vacation came up, Daniel opened his mouth as if he remembered something..

“By the way, why don’t you go out and have fun together during vacation??”

“Let's go play?”

“huh. With Abel. May, too, if possible. It's good to have more people.”

“Where are you going to hang out??”

“well… … I haven't decided on that yet. Just wander around the suburbs or within the system..”

“no way. Then it won’t feel like you’re going out to have fun..”

“But you can't go anywhere, right? Because it's dangerous outside.”

As Daniel said, this world was not a very safe place..

Because there are fragments of the giant everywhere..

You can't really feel it because you're in a system that's much safer than anywhere else, but there are a lot of areas on this continent that humans haven't conquered..

Henna seemed to think for a moment and then opened her mouth..

“Then how about going to my villa??”
