I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 97

97fury

The carriage passed the high walls of the archipelago..

Abel felt relieved only after seeing the scene outside the window..

‘I was nervous for no reason.’

After seeing Mei's strange reaction, I couldn't rest in peace..

But I couldn't look at it openly, so I looked at it secretly and got tired of it..

‘But since we've arrived at the system, there's no problem now..’

There was no need to worry anymore if it was outside the system..

To be exact, there was no use worrying about it..

If the system were to be breached, it would be of no use for Abel to do anything on his own..

The carriage proceeded along the island's well-maintained roads and arrived at the Academy without any problems, just as Abel expected..

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Abel and the others thanked the driver and driver of the carriage who had escorted them this far..

They also greeted me with a smile, so I was able to say goodbye in a warm atmosphere..

As soon as I moved from the carriage stop and headed toward the dormitory, Daniel spoke to me..

“Umm. Time is ambiguous. Abel! I'm going to practice today too?”

“no. I think it will probably be difficult to practice for a while..”

“what?”

Daniel looked at Abel in shock..

“As expected, there are still aftereffects.?”

“no.”

“Otherwise, there's no way you'd miss training.!”

Abel shook his head as he looked at Daniel, who spoke quickly and excitedly..

“I don't remember you saying you had something to do when you got back.?”

“Oh, I see.?”

“huh. I did.”

Although I didn't go into detail, I did say that I had work to do..

Because it was obvious that it would bother me otherwise..

Daniel looked disappointed, but quickly got over it and started talking to the others..

“Iolin said he was going to train separately. Darin, you said you were going home.?”

“huh. I'm planning to rest today and return tomorrow..”

“Then may you?”

Mei, who suddenly had an arrow turned towards her, blinked and then opened her mouth..

“……sleep?”

“……I'm sleeping all vacation?”

“……well?”

May slightly looked away..

From the looks of it, it seemed like he was really planning on sleeping throughout the vacation..

Of course, in reality you won't be able to do that..

This vacation is an important time for Mei..

‘There is a possibility that things will turn out differently from the game, but.’

In that case, I planned to go out in person as soon as Abel returned from Red Hall, a special management area..

May's desire to sleep was triggered by a special problem, separate from her temperament..

If that wasn't resolved, May would just disappear without being able to stand out..

‘Well, first of all, don't think too far ahead..’

Whatever the situation, you should think about it and prepare in advance, but it would be foolish to worry beyond that..

If you don't do your best at what you can do right now, everything will be meaningless..

“Arrived.”

As we talked about various things, the dormitory was right around the corner..

Since we had already been hanging out for a few days, everyone just said goodbye and parted ways..

“See you later.”

As soon as Abel entered the dormitory building, he said goodbye to Daniel and entered his room..

“It feels like I'm home.”

When I entered the room, I couldn't help but mutter to myself..

Even though I had obviously been playing, I was completely tired when I got to my room..

I wanted to just lie down in bed, but I couldn't..

‘There are about 3 hours left until the appointed time with Deborah..’

Originally, I had left about 6 hours to spare, but due to various events, I arrived later than scheduled..

It's a difficult time to catch some sleep or go to the training ground..

But it wasn't like there wasn't anything to do..

Abel first sat down on the bed and took out the artifact he had kept in his arms..

‘I guess this wasn't given solely based on one's personal judgment..’

I could tell because Abel had some knowledge about artifacts..

Aside from its name, this artifact is no ordinary object..

This means that no matter how sorry Henna felt for Abel, it was not something worth just giving in to..

‘Is it related to the duke?.’

That was the possibility that immediately came to mind..

But even so, I couldn’t completely erase the question ‘Why?’.

Abel flicked the artifact upward and caught it with his hand..

‘1If you think about it dimensionally, it would be correct to see it as an investment or a sign of gratitude..’

The duke would already know that Abel made a significant contribution to preventing his daughter's runaway incident..

It seemed to Abel that it was most likely a sign of gratitude..

‘Still, it's not like I can receive it comfortably..’

I don't mind if it's money or something simple, but if it's an artifact of this size, I have to be careful..

I might use this as an excuse to ask for another favor..

I wonder if someone like a duke would do that, but there are no absolutes in this world..

Since he had no clear sponsorship relationship with the duke, he could not be completely trusted..

“good.”

Abel concluded simply:.

Use it, but use it sparingly and well..

If you ask for an unreasonable favor, you can just go ahead and return it..

First of all, it seems likely that it was given as a token of gratitude..

Abel came to a conclusion and closed his eyes as he put the artifact back in his arms..

I was planning on doing breathing techniques for the remaining three hours..

“Suuuuup.”

As I took a deep breath and remembered the rhythm of the breathing technique, my mind instantly calmed down..

“Whoa whoa.”

I erased all distracting thoughts and fell into a deep state of meditation..

It was two hours later that he opened his eyes again..

smart-.

“Cadet Abel. A visitor has arrived.”

This was after the voice of an academy employee was heard..

*       *       *

A dark black carriage stopped on the side of a large road..

The carriage door opened and it was none other than Abel who appeared..

Abel looked around..

‘It's been a while since I've been here again.’

This is the southern area of ​​the islands, an area with a high concentration of workshops..

Perhaps that is why, unlike other regions, the buildings all boasted a considerable size..

“You can come here.”

“Ah yes.”

The person who guided Abel was the man who rode in the carriage with him and was an employee sent by Deborah..

The man went ahead and climbed the stairs right in front of where the carriage stopped..

The man who went up the stairs immediately opened the door, and soon the inside was clearly revealed..

‘It's not as flashy as I thought.’

Surprisingly, the inside of the building felt clean and neat rather than flashy..

But after thinking about it for a while, I thought it was natural..

‘but. Because this is some kind of laboratory..’

Decorating things extravagantly is usually for the purpose of showing off to others, but this is rarely the case in a laboratory..

Rather, the calm interior seemed much more trustworthy..

Not long after I started walking down the long hallway with the man, I saw someone standing on the other side..

“You came.”

It was Deborah..

As soon as she saw Abel, she politely bowed with a bright smile..

Abel also saw this and bowed in the same manner..

This was because, whether in terms of status or wealth, if you were at the bottom, you were definitely at the top..

“Thanks to you, I came comfortably.”

“you're welcome. You've just returned from a trip, but aren't you tired??”

“It's okay to come after getting enough rest..”

“thank god. However, if you feel tired, please tell me right away..”

“yes.”

When Deborah gave a light wink, the man who guided her here slightly bowed his head and walked away..

“Well then, let’s go right away.?”

“yes.”

She led Abel into the basement..

The stairs leading to the basement were quite long, and as soon as Abel reached the bottom, he realized there was a reason for that..

‘It's huge..’

The basement was truly overwhelming in size..

I thought the ground floor from the outside was big, but it was nothing compared to the basement..

Because there was a space underground that was almost the size of Vulcanus Workshop..

“It's huge..”

“I don't like to waste money, but I don't mind spending money where I think it's worth investing in..”

Deborah smiled and spoke kindly..

“Gigant's progress is amazing. Since it was first developed, its level has been continuously increasing. Do you know about the history of Gigant??”

“yes. I understand that the first one developed was the Milles class..”

“that's right. A few years later, the Centurio class appeared, and during the Great War, the Centurio was the most powerful weapon..”

“The Militum class and Tito class were developed after the Great War..”

“Even after the Great War ended, development continued. I don't know when there will be another war.”

Abel nodded..

Tito, Miles, Centurio, Militum.

This could be said to be the current Gigant system..

Midgets below Tito cannot be called proper Gigants, and custom aircraft above Militum are not regular grade..

Deborah nodded and opened her mouth, as if satisfied with Abel's words..

“However, regardless of Gigant's progress, Core has been stagnant for quite a long time..”

“It certainly is. The higher-level aircraft simply uses the more powerful Titan core..”

Airframes are classified according to grade, but higher-level aircraft are not cores made with special technology..

It is simply made by processing the core of a more powerful titan..

Of course, the processing technology was also special. But it is true that there is essentially no big difference..

“So I focused on improving the core.”

Deborah walked straight and stopped in front of an aircraft and said.

“To create a powerful Gigant, use the core of a more powerful Titan... … . That kind of thing is a bit boring.?”

“If we could just create a second generation core, it would be a huge innovation..”

“2Generation.”

Deborah's eyes sparkled when Abel inadvertently said the words 'second generation'..

“That expression. It's good. 2nd generation.”

Deborah said, turning her head slightly to look up at the aircraft..

“The core before that was the 1st generation. The newly developed core is the 2nd generation… … . It's a very fascinating story..”

“Is that so.”

“Hehehe. yes. Of course, this only applies when core development is successful..”

Deborah lowered her head again and saw Abel..

“That’s why Abel’s role is important. According to our own research, Abel's attunement rate is unparalleled..”

Abel did not necessarily deny it..

There are many abilities that a Gigant Rider needs, and Abel knows that he is still lacking in many ways..

But at least in terms of tuning, I never thought I was worse than others..

“Well, would you like to take a little rest before proceeding with the test??”

“no.”

Abel calmly responded to Deborah's suggestion..

“Let's start right away.”

Even if it wasn't necessarily because of the deal, he was feeling a desire for the 2nd generation core..

If the 2nd generation core is developed faster than the original history, it will definitely be an enormous benefit..

Deborah nodded with satisfaction and spoke to the people waiting on the side..

“great. Then let's get ready right away..”

People brought something and handed it to Abel..

As expected, it was Deborah who explained it..

“These are artifacts to prepare for emergencies. Abel's condition will be checked in real time, and if anything goes wrong, he will be safely moved outside..”

“okay.”

Abel was secretly impressed by those words..

I said it casually, but if Deborah said it, she meant that it was an artifact imprinted with space-type magic..

Artifacts like that are truly worth the price..

Deborah's confidence that safety was definitely guaranteed was not a lie..

Even if Gigant runs away, he will be able to escape to the outside..

Cooung-!

Meanwhile, the staff adjusted the Gigant and moved it to make it easier to ride.

Abel looked up at the cockpit, which opened of its own accord..

A passenger seat with a purple core.

“Well then, I'll board right away..”

It was time to start the experiment.

An experiment that could bring about a cataclysm in this world, depending on the results..
