I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

Perhaps because it was the first lecture after practice, Kaul gave the lecture more leisurely than expected.

Instead of fighting wildly, or running around the field like crazy while riding a gigant.

I did light running and stretching.

Kaul gave a brief explanation as to why.

“You guys are still in a good recovery period, but your body still has its limits.”

Kaul continued to speak while extending his arms.

“Last practice was pretty tight. After that, you need to give your body some rest. It means that recklessly overusing oneself isn’t everything.”

As he said that, Kaul’s gaze was directed directly at Daniel and Abel.

As if he had seen through to the fact that he had been stuck in the training ground without a break even after returning to practice.

Kaul then said as he lifted his knee and pulled it.

“No matter how much there is an anti-class match next week, if you don’t rest properly, you will get bone disease.”

The cadets, who had been stretching without thinking, following the movement of the cowl, widened their eyes.

When the cowl did not notice the change and tried to move into the next movement.

“Instructor! What is the anti-class battle about?”

It was Cynthia who asked the question.

At her question, Kaul tilted his head and said.

“What are you talking about? Isn’t next Tuesday the class match?”

“… … When was that decided?”

“ah.”

Kaul opened his mouth as if he had just realized something.

“It was decided at a meeting this morning. I forgot.”

At that irresponsible statement, the cadets pursed their lips.

Kaul said with a grin.

“It’s okay because you said something! As I just said, we will have a class match next Tuesday. Of course, they all do it while riding Gigant.”

“The place or the rules… … .”

“Details will be given on the same day.”

After that, the cadets asked a few more questions, but Kaul only replied that he would find out on the day.

After finishing the stretch, Kaul waved his hands and said,

“ruler! Today’s lecture is over! Take a break and go to the next lecture!”

As soon as Kaul’s words ran out, the cadets gathered in twos and threes.

Several people also gathered around Abel and started talking to him.

“If it’s a half-fight, you’re fighting with 10 to 10 people, right?”

“I guess so.”

Abel nodded moderately.

He, too, did not know what the rules of the anti-class match would be. Because this is a random event.

However, I knew what types there were.

‘Keep the King, Push the Cargo, Occupy War. I think it’s one of these three.’

To protect the king, as the name suggests, is to protect one person who has been designated as the king until the end.

Either team loses if the person in charge of the king role becomes incapacitated.

Cargo push, as the name suggests, is to move a specific cargo to a designated location.

‘But I don’t think this will come out.’

It was only in the game that the game allowed it to some extent, but it seemed difficult to actually implement it here.

And finally before the conquest.

This is the simplest rule.

You have to occupy the designated area first.

“By the way, are the wounded there okay?”

Darin said in a worried voice.

Daniel answered him.

“I asked yesterday, and he said he was only lightly injured.”

“Oh yeah?”

“huh. I’m almost fully recovered already.”

When did you talk to the other classmates?

While thinking about that, Abel asked Daniel.

“Who was injured?”

“Charlotte and June.”

“Oh yeah?”

“I heard that a Salamander suddenly appeared there. That’s why the defense line collapsed.”

At the word salamander, Abel shook his head.

“If it’s a salamander, you can’t stand it.”

Salamander was a fragment of a high-level giant.

It was also a guy who specialized in multi-person battles, and since such a guy suddenly appeared, it would have been close to impossible to endure.

‘Perhaps the instructor or other people appeared when dealing with the giant and broke down the defense line as it is.’

Abel opened his mouth while imagining the scene.

“Now, let’s go to the next classroom. Go ahead and study.”

“Come to think of it, the tactics lecture was next, right? Ugh.”

Abel laughed and dragged Daniel along.

Arriving at the next lecture hall so early, Abel opened the book beforehand and checked something else.

‘A challenge.’

As I repeated the word in my mind, a window appeared in front of me.

[List of achievements.]

[Visit all locations in the Academy.]

[Obtain your own Gigant. √]

[Achieving a perfect score in practice. √]

[Calling the cowl as a gorilla.]

[Make 5 or more friends. √]

[The first encounter with the fragments of the giant. √]

[Destroy 20 or more giant fragments. √]

[Dealing with one or more giants. √]

[…] … .]

[Achievement rate: 28%]

For the achievements I hadn’t checked in a while, there were achievement marks on many items.

‘I woke up a lot while I didn’t see it.’

Unlike quests, challenges do not reward you for completing one. So, naturally, I don’t check it often.

But the reason why I turned on the challenge window after such a long time was because I was about to reach the reward section.

’30, 50, 70, 100.’

The challenge is divided into 4 parts and rewards are given.

Currently, Abel’s achievement rate is 28%, with only 2% remaining.

Right now, Abel was aiming for two challenges to achieve 30%.

[Visit all locations in the Academy.]

[Win the class battle.]

Here, the anti-class battle is right next week, so what I had to do in the meantime was the former.

‘It’s all places, but you really don’t have to go to every nook and cranny.’

To be precise, the challenge was accomplished by going to all the facilities accessible to the cadets.

However, that wasn’t easy.

‘There are only two places left.’

Secret library and armor storage in the library.

It was because of the latter that I had not been able to overcome the challenges so far.

This is because the Arms Warehouse is a place where access is allowed only when you have a great performance.

There was no problem with the secret library in the library.

It was a place where you had to meet a few conditions to enter, but it was because I had already met all the conditions by working hard in my spare time.

“Abel. Are you going to go to the training ground right after today?”

“no.”

“huh?”

“I’m going to stop by the library first.”

At that, Daniel said in pain.

“A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body… … .”

“You seem to be in good health.”

“It’s not?”

Abel lightly ignored Daniel’s words.

Today, as soon as the lecture is over, I planned to stop by two places: the secret library and the armor storage.

‘It would be better to stop by the secret library first.’

It was much more efficient to stop by the library on the street and then go to the armory.

After organizing his thoughts, Abel turned off the challenge window and really focused on the book.

Around the time the review of the last class was over, the lecture began.

The lecture time passed quickly.

Most of the lectures went smoothly, probably considering the fatigue accumulated during the last practice.

After all the lectures are over.

Abel broke away from the other cadets and headed straight for the library.

‘It’s quiet.’

The library building was empty and quiet.

‘Well, there aren’t that many people who like to use their hair.’

There were quite a few people who came to study during the exam period, but very few were so enthusiastic that they stopped in and out of the library from the beginning of the semester.

And Abel was one of those few.

The library with all kinds of Gigant-related books was like heaven to Abel.

“Cadet Abel. You came today.”

Scared to go inside, the librarian greeted Abel warmly.

Normally, I would have been greeted like this and went inside to read a book.

But today I had other business.

“yes. I couldn’t come for a few days, and my body was itching.”

“also. You are amazing.”

The librarian smiled and nodded.

Abel carefully asked the librarian.

“Can you recommend a book?”

“A book? What kind are you talking about?”

“Ugh. I hope it’s a bit interesting. I want to explore Gigant more deeply.”

“Hoo. is that so?”

The librarian’s eyes twinkled.

She thought for a moment, then pointed inward and said:

“Then would you like to follow me?”

“yes.”

Abel cheered inwardly.

I knew that I had met all the conditions, but I was still nervous inside.

The librarian passed through a bookshelf full of books and went straight inside.

The librarian, who turned to the deepest, picked up a book from one of the shelves without hesitation.

Suuu-.

Suddenly, the bookshelf with the book was pushed aside without a sound.

“Hey, this is… … ?”

Abel pretended to be surprised and looked at the librarian.

The librarian said with a grin.

“This library is only allowed for sincere and book-loving cadets. Come in.”

After saying that, the librarian immediately went inside the library.

Abel walked slowly behind her.

There were only three bookshelves in the secret library.

Considering the enormous size of the library outside, it could be said that it was new blood, but considering the quality of the books in the secret library, it was not comparable just by size.

‘Because all the books in here are rare.’

Even though I came here for the purpose of completing the challenge, I felt my heart pounding after stepping in again.

The titles of the books in the secret library were unusual.

[Exploring Gigant’s principle.]

[Colossus behavior and its secrets.]

[The founding history of Del Modor Academy.]

[…] … .]

It was a title that sparked interest.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t pick and choose the books I wanted.

That was the rule of this secret library.

I couldn’t freely choose a book, and I could only take what the librarian designated.

But that method also had its own thrilling side.

I guess I’m secretly looking forward to what kind of book I’ll lend you.

The librarian looked through the bookshelves and pondered, then took out a book and handed it to Abel.

“I think this book would suit Cadet Abel well.”

Abel’s gaze reflexively went to the cover of the book, and then he opened his eyes wide in surprise.

[The description of heavy swordsmanship.]

The title itself was nothing special. However, the author’s name written below was slightly different.

‘Alon’

Aron, a hero of salvation and a great knight.

It had his name on it.

“This… … .”

“I’m sure you’ll find it helpful.”

The librarian smiled again and said.

“You can keep the book until you need it and return it. Of course, I have to return it before graduation.”

“Ah yes. thank you.”

“What.”

The librarian said that and slowly moved outside the secret library.

Abel followed suit, and when the librarian came out and inserted the book, the bookshelf moved again to cover the secret library.

“Then, I wish you a good day.”

“yes.”

Abel greeted the librarian and slowly left the library.

I wanted to sit down at the library desk and read a book right away, but it was because I still had work to do.

It was time to go get a new Gigant weapon.
