I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 9

9fury

The exam was hectic and non-stop..

Time goes by like that, and it’s already 11 p.m..

A dark shadow fell over the eyes of the supervising professors, not to mention the test takers..

The only one who remained relaxed was Magnus..

Magnus looked at the test takers who had just completed their 6th exam and said:.

“Everyone has worked hard so far.!”

Everyone seemed to not even have the strength to answer, but at the same time, they looked at Magnus expectantly, hoping that the test would be over..

Magnus said while receiving those expectant gazes..

“Now I just have to take one last test and that's it.!”

However, the candidates' faces distorted at the words that followed..

However, instead of getting angry when Magnus saw the frowning faces of the test takers, he burst into laughter..

“Hahaha! Everyone looks like they've fallen into some kind of hell! It was a joke.”

The test takers looked at Magnus blankly, not immediately understanding what that meant..

Magnus told him clearly again:.

“This is the end of the test!”

“Is it really true??”

“okay!”

Only then did everyone's faces brighten again. Magnus looked at the test takers with a smile..

“There are twelve left until the end. There's quite a bit left.”

As Magnus said, there were only twelve test takers left until the end..

This was because as the test continued, most of the people fell, fainted, and got injured and failed..

Those who are not here will probably receive treatment somewhere or take a rest before returning to the family home..

But that didn't mean they were completely eliminated..

Because remaining until the end was not a condition for passing..

Instead, it was decided that the top 200 students would be admitted based on evaluations made by professors who served as supervisors..

They would be anxious as they waited for the announcement..

But those here didn't do that..

“Of course, all of you here have passed! Everyone is a prospective Gigant rider..”

The fact that I stayed until the end after taking all the previous exams proved that I was already at a level that could not be compared to others..

“Huh. principal.”

The stern-looking middle-aged man standing next to him said something, but Magnus continued speaking without any hesitation..

“What do you think? So, they're left until the end, so will they be eliminated? Anyway, take a good look at each other's faces. You guys will be colleagues and rivals not only at the academy but also after graduation..”

Abel glanced around at those words..

There were some people I was seeing for the first time, but there were also quite a few people who were familiar with Abel..

‘They are all the main and supporting characters of the game..’

Not only Iolin, who I saw when I came to apply, but everyone else was also a prominent figure..

A handsome boy with dark brown hair who excelled in physical training..

A girl with red hair with a particularly fierce look, a girl with purple hair with a languid look, etc..

They were all characters in Abel's memory..

But Abel soon lost his attention and looked at Magnus again..

‘I just want to quickly go back and sleep..’

I was too exhausted to care about others, so I just hoped Magnus' words would end quickly..

Fortunately, unlike other principals, Magnus ended the story in a refreshing manner..

“okay. Judging by the look in his eyes, it seems like even if I speak for a long time, he won't be able to hear me. Everyone had a hard time.”

After Magnus finished his story and gave a light glance, the Academy staff approached..

“Just follow us.”

Now all you have to do is follow the directions and walk to the carriage waiting outside..

‘Let's go and rest quickly.’

Abel was happy and tried to immediately follow the employee..

“abel klein.”

“yes? Ah yes!”

But before he could even take a step, a voice stopped Abel..

Abel turned his head slightly at the sound of a familiar voice and found Masnus looking at him with his signature fierce smile..

“It was quite impressive. I don't think Scarlett caught my eye for no reason..”

The reason Magnus mentioned Scarlett's name without hesitation was because she was once his subordinate..

Abel bowed his head and responded to Magnus’ words..

“thank you.”

“Thank you. I look forward to your future activities as well. go see.”

“yes.”

Abel bowed politely and turned away..

All I could think about was wanting to go back quickly..

But this time, I felt a hot gaze on the side of my head..

When he turned his head, Iolin was looking at him..

When I looked at him to see if he had something to say, Iolin immediately turned his head and went his own way..

‘what.’

Abel frowned, then gave up thinking and walked away again..

I was interested, I was lazy, and now all I wanted to do was take a break..

*       *       *

A few days after the exam.

A letter with the seal of Del Modor Academy has arrived addressed to Abel..

The test results have arrived.

“I haven't opened it yet.”

Scarlett said, waving the envelope with one hand..

“But the results are already predictable..”

“Is that so?”

Abel answered in a calm voice. He wasn't particularly nervous or anything..

Scarlett smiled and nodded when she saw Abel like that..

“Because I also heard a story. He performed quite brilliantly. Now, take a look at this for yourself..”

Abel politely received the envelope from Scarlett and checked the contents..

[pass.]

At the top was what was already expected..

It wasn't particularly surprising. But the letter also contained other information..

[Abel Klein. top.]

top.

This means that you ranked first in the entrance exam..

Below, it was written that students should come one hour earlier than the originally scheduled time for the entrance ceremony..

In Abel's mind, a picture was drawn of giving certificates to those who passed the top exam and doing something like that..

I'm not sure because the game doesn't describe it in detail..

Anyway, the moment he checked the letter, a message appeared to Abel..

[Quest completed!]

[Because you have shown great results, your reward will be upgraded to a universal skill.!]

[‘Obtain ‘Shadow Step’!]

A general-purpose skill like Overflow, which I obtained from Hidden Piece earlier. It was also a practical skill that he needed..

It was natural for Abel to be happy.

“Hmm. Looking at your expression, it looks like you didn't just pass.?”

Scarlett interpreted Abel's expression in a different way and asked a question with a sly expression..

Instead of trying to correct the misunderstanding, Abel spoke while managing his facial expression..

“I passed as a top valedictorian.”

“That's great. It's more than I expected

Scarlett did not spare praise for Abel..

Basically, Scarlett was never kind to everyone, but it was her rule to treat those who excelled as they deserved..

In that sense, Abel proved from the beginning that she was a talent beyond her expectations..

Scarlett said.

“Since you have achieved outstanding results, you should be rewarded accordingly. I will give you three types of family Gigant weapons as a reward..”

Abel's eyes sparkled when he heard the word Gigant armed..

It was because something came to mind..

‘Scarlet three-piece set!’

I hadn't heard exactly what it was yet, but I was half sure..

In the original game, Jet was chosen by Scarlett, and the exclusive weapon he wore was the Scarlett three-piece set..

It was an item whose performance was so outstanding that users gave it a separate name, and Abel was well aware of it..

‘It's an item that only appeared in games near the end of the semester..’

I thought it might have been influenced by my admission as the top student..

Scarlett said to Abel.

“I will send the weapons to the Academy immediately and have them installed. Check it out then.”

“thank you.”

“If you continue to perform well in the future, you will always be rewarded. Well then, let’s go and rest now..”

“yes.”

The conversation ended so briefly..

After Abel finished confronting Scarlett, he went back to his room and went to bed..

And the next day I woke up and trained like I did every day. The next day too. The next day too.

In preparation for entering the academy, I devoted myself to training without resting even for a moment..

Time passed so quickly, and before I knew it, two weeks had passed..

*       *       *

‘Is it today?.’

Abel woke up early as usual, got out of bed and looked out the window..

The just-rising sun was coloring the world..

Abel looked at that scene with new emotions..

Today was the day I entered the academy..

*       *       *

spacious auditorium.

There were 200 cadets standing in an orderly manner inside..

The ones that stood out were the 40 people in the front..

This is because everything from the design to the color of the uniform was different from the rest of the cadets..

Although it seemed like they passed the tough test, only the top 40 people will take the Gigant Rider training course from now on, and they will be called the upper class..

On the other hand, the remaining 160 people are trained to handle Tito intensively and are called the middle class..

Although they belong to the same academy, their positions are completely different..

There is also a working class below that, but it was not applicable to the cadets currently participating in the entrance ceremony. Because they have a separate admission route..

But despite that distinction, at this moment, they had one thing in common..

“……The best quality that youth has is pure curiosity! Not because it is beneficial or helpful, but simply because of the path in front of you! What lies beyond! Something like that…….”

The idea was to sew up the mouth of 1st Prince Biorn, who was giving the entrance ceremony speech on behalf of Magnus..

His speech lasted over two hours, and it was nothing short of torture to those who heard it..

It was even more frustrating because I had to stand upright and not be able to do anything else due to the presence of VIPs who were observing the entrance ceremony on both sides..

‘You really talk a lot.’

The same was true for Abel, who was troubled..

Even in the game, the prince, Biorn, was described as having a talkative personality, but I really didn't expect him to be like this..

To relieve his boredom, he slowly rolled his eyes and looked around..

The main characters of the game, including Lee Olin, were spread out all around..

First of all, the thing that stands out the most is the girl with purple hair who was openly dozing next to Abel's seat..

Considering that this was the position that attracted the most attention, it was an action that could not have been done without a certain degree of insensitivity..

‘may.’

this was her name.

As one of the few commoners of the upper class, her position was clear..

‘lazy genius.’

There was also a rumor going around among players that she was a greater genius than Iolin..

However, the reason there was no clear conclusion was May's laziness..

‘Because I didn't work hard no matter what.’

Regardless of the time, he dozed off all the time, and there were only a handful of moments when he showed his motivation.

There was one user who was complaining and saying that he didn't know how to motivate him. Abel was also one of the dogs..

He slowly looked away from her dozing and looked at the boy next to him..

‘Daniel.’

Brown hair and black eyes. And a very handsome face.

This is the boy who looked like a monster during physical training..

He's just like the sincere protagonist in a cartoon movie, but he gets stronger as time goes by..

Abel turned his gaze slightly further to the left. There was a girl there with her red hair.

The name is 'Henna'’.

She is the princess of the Duchy of Del Chior..

His personality was as fiery as his red hair, but his skills were certain..

But there was something more important than appearance or personality..

‘1He was the middle boss of the chapter..’

The point was that Henna, an ordinary girl in the class, appeared as a mid-boss threatening the player..
