I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 96
96fury
The carriage ran along a well-maintained road..
The forest spread out on both sides was shining brightly in the sunlight..
It was a scenery that would leave you spellbound if you just looked at it..
“Are we halfway there now??”
Abel, who was looking out the window and checking his future plans, turned his head when he heard Daniel's voice..
“huh. Just about halfway.”
“It seemed like it took quite a long time to get there, but it was an instant to get back..”
Abel chuckled at the strangely regretful tone of voice..
“I guess it's a shame to go back?”
“is it? I guess so..”
Daniel also nodded without denying it..
The way to go to play feels like no time passes due to the anticipation and excitement, and the way back is just an instant..
It was also visible on other people’s faces..
Except May, who is still dozing off..
‘You sleep really well.’
It was surprising how he could sleep so well..
It's a past situation and all, but the truth is, isn't it because I really like sleeping from the beginning??
“Wow!”
Abel, who was thinking such things in his mind, trembled at the strange sound..
It was a sound made by May, who had been dozing off for a while..
She opened her eyes and quickly looked left and right as if she was looking for something..
“W, where am I??”
“Where is it? It's not in the carriage..”
“I had a dream?”
Daniel gave a scolding, and Darin spoke to May in a kind voice..
May rolled her eyes with a confused expression and then opened her mouth..
“In the carriage... … . carriage……?”
May, who was muttering in a low voice, raised her head again as if she remembered something..
“Dangerous.”
“what?”
While the other children looked confused, Abel's relaxed face hardened..
From May's reaction, a thought suddenly occurred to me..
‘no way……?’
Strange noises that appear as if you were sleeping but suddenly wake up.
One of Mei's characteristics depicted in the game.
It was Mei's unique ability..
“uh? It seems like it's slowing down?”
“What's going on?”
At that time, the speed of the carriage began to slowly decrease..
Without hesitation, Abel took out the artifact he had kept in his front pocket and held it in his hand..
Aside from her genius, May had a very special ability..
Although it takes a long time for her to fully awaken, Mei sometimes uses that ability without realizing it..
‘The ability to predict the future.
‘In reality, there are various restrictions, but it is definitely classified as S class..’
Even though the classification itself was created by users themselves, it still remains a great ability..
Even compared to the vision of a prominent family, it is a superior ability..
But that wasn't what mattered now. The carriage, which had been slowing down, eventually came to a complete stop..
at that time. I heard a sound outside.
smart-.
“I think I should stop for a while and then go..”
It was the voice of the knight who followed to escort him..
Abel made eye contact with the other children and then opened the door himself..
“Is there a problem?”
“ah. A group of Palottes are passing by ahead. So, I plan to rest for about 30 minutes and then move on..”
Others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was a group of pallots..
Simply put, a palot is an animal similar to a water buffalo..
There are quite a few differences, but the point of grouping together is the same..
It was probably passing by on the road ahead..
“If you feel tired, you can come out and rest for a while..”
Everyone seemed concerned about the article’s words..
It's not that it wasn't, it was because for safety's sake we barely got out of the carriage and kept moving..
“Oh, no!”
Then, May suddenly shouted.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Mei..
She rolled her eyes in embarrassment and slowly opened her mouth..
“therefore… … that is… … It's dangerous outside.”
It was absurd..
That's why everyone who heard her had a look on their faces as they wondered what the hell this was all about..
But only one person.
Abelman realized May's intentions..
“Umm. Well, then I guess it’s just inside?.”
He leaned back, speaking in as natural a voice as possible..
When Abel said that, the others nodded as if their interest had cooled..
“but. I have to leave for a while and come back anyway..”
“It's annoying?”
Basically, there is something called flow..
Once one person takes the initiative and makes a claim, others secretly follow..
The fact that everyone was exhausted from playing at the villa in the first place probably played a role..
“Okay then. We'll be leaving again soon, so please wait a moment..”
The driver bowed politely and closed the carriage door..
As soon as the door closed, Abel took a peek at May's reaction..
‘It's subtle.’
May didn't look very happy, but she didn't look very anxious either..
I would say it's somewhere in the middle..
‘please… … I think he's wondering if this is enough..’
We don't know what future May saw..
No, I don't even know if I actually saw the future. I just thought there was a lot of potential.
Still, Abel held the artifact tightly just in case..
So 10 minutes passed, then 20 minutes passed..
Perhaps the parade of pallots was longer than originally expected, but the carriage did not move easily..
“It takes quite a while.”
“Can you see it if you look through the window??”
“Let's take a look.”
This time, there was no particular reaction from May..
Abel also slowly opened the window and stuck his head out to check the situation outside..
Doo doo doo doo doo-.
As soon as I did that, I first heard the sound of the ground shaking..
The performance of the carriage's noise-vibration suppression magic was so excellent that I did not notice it until I opened the window..
‘It's still passing by.’
Front. A flock of paluts could be seen crossing the road quite far away..
It looked as if black waves were passing by..
But then.
Boom, boom-.
Suddenly an alien sound was heard.
The sound of loud footsteps clearly distinguishable from the sound of a flock of paluts..
Boom, boom!
I was very familiar with its size and frequency..
Abel paused for a moment and immediately recognized its identity..
“Gigant?”
“huh? what?”
“I said Gigant.?”
“That's not the sound of Gigant activating just now.?”
The others were momentarily confused by Abel's words, but the situation changed when the sound rang out again..
Boom, boom, boom-!
Because it was clearly the sound of walking on two feet..
Then there are two possibilities. Gigant or Colossus.
If it's the former, I don't know, but if it's the latter, it's no different from a disaster..
No matter how much care you put in providing a guard, there's no way you can deal with a titan..
Because in the first place, no one expected that a titan would appear in this area..
Meanwhile, the sound was getting closer and closer..
While everyone's anxiety is increasing.
“uh! excuse me!”
Darin, who was on the other side of the window, pointed somewhere..
Abel naturally went there and looked out the window..
“ah…….”
What came into view was a gigantic Gigant..
“Wow, Gigant was right..”
Everyone was relieved to see that..
How many times have I been surprised and relieved in such a short period of time?.
Abel thought as he shook his startled heart..
‘That's enough... … Kenturio class?’
Even though it was far away, I could see it to some extent..
This is because it was a speed-enhanced type that is rarely found in the Milles class..
The speed-enhanced model has a thin frame itself, so it looks quite elongated when viewed from a distance..
In the Milles class, it was a reinforced type that was rarely used due to power and stability issues..
“That's cool…….”
Abel muttered without realizing it..
Streamlined silver body.
Sleek yet elegant gloves.
Every time the gigantic giant took a step, I was amazed..
To Abel, that figure itself was nothing short of a work of art..
Boom, boom, boom, boom-!
A Kenturio-class Gigant was walking towards somewhere..
Abel looked blankly and suddenly thought..
‘Now that I think about it, why is Gigant here??’
I was distracted for a moment, but that wasn't important right now..
Although it may not have been as strange as the appearance of a Colossus, the appearance of a Kenturio-class Gigant was strange enough..
‘This is a safe zone?’
This is an area where not only giant gods but also their fragments rarely appear..
If it wasn't a place like that in the first place, there wouldn't have been any traveling by carriage like this..
The Kenturio-class Gigant came close and passed by..
“Phew.”
It was then that I heard a sigh of relief from somewhere..
Abel turned his head involuntarily and could tell that it was from May..
unexpected timing.
But judging by her previous reaction, it seemed like the danger she felt had finally passed..
‘What on earth was that??’
Even now that it has passed, I have no idea what the threat May felt was..
‘But I can't ask directly.’
Abel thought for a moment and shook his head lightly..
I decided to be satisfied with passing the risk for now..
Gigant soon became so far away that it was out of sight..
The group of Palottes passed by and there was nothing blocking the road anymore..
“Then we'll start again.”
With the driver's voice, the carriage began to slowly move forward again..
The others didn't seem to think much as the carriage started moving again, but Abel's complicated mind was thinking about this and that..
But there was nothing to know.
* * *
high on the hill.
A dark shadow falls beneath the tree..
The person lying in the shadow looked at the departing carriage and spoke in a voice full of regret..
“Failure.”
They even succeeded in bringing a group of pallots to block the road and stop the carriage..
But I waited for the right time and ended up missing it..
“Of course it's Centurio.”
It's because of the Kenturio-class Gigant that suddenly appeared..
Originally, I had never received any information about Gigant passing near here, so it was a completely unexpected situation..
By the time the gigant was completely far away, the pallot it had driven had also completely passed by..
The man muttered as he looked at the carriage that was now so far away that it almost seemed like a dot..
“No more… … It might be impossible.”
If you try too hard, you can try to attack somehow, but the probability of failure increases exponentially..
There is a world of difference in the difficulty level of attacking a stopped carriage and a moving carriage..
The man watched the carriage moving away for a moment with regret in his eyes, then stood up..
But then, a new person suddenly appeared from the shadows..
“Should we withdraw all troops??”
“okay. This operation is a failure.”
“All right.”
The reason why the failure of this operation was painful was because the target was a cadet from the academy..
There will be almost no chance of coming out of the system, so no one knows when an opportunity like this will come again..
But I couldn't just be sad forever..
The man shook his head, shaking off his regret and unfolding the paper he had kept in his arms..
There was a portrait of a girl with a languid expression painted on it..
“may.”
He is a very important figure in our future plans..
Although this operation failed, another opportunity will come someday..
The man stared at the portrait as if it were engraved in his mind, then put it back in his arms..
He just stepped into the shadows and.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd-.
Soon disappeared without a trace.
There was only a cool wind blowing on the hill where people had disappeared..
