I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

Fragments of head parts popped up.

Even in the midst of that, Iolin tried to counterattack somehow, but Abel never gave him a chance.

bang! bang! Quaang-!

In the end, after several punches, Iolin’s body drooped.

“Whoa.”

Abel stood up after confirming that his opponent was completely incapacitated.

That’s it.

Not only the head parts, but also all the key parts have been retouched, so it will be impossible for it to happen again.

Abel then checked his aircraft.

‘It’s a wreck.’

Even after defeating three people in turn, he allowed almost no attack, but his condition was not very good.

It was because he made several consecutive movements close to the limit of motion, and even though he held his shield, he smashed the hard head with his punches.

Fortunately, it was the left hand that held the shield.

Otherwise, his hands would have been smashed as well as his head.

Ugh-.

After examining the degree of damage to the aircraft closely, Abel picked up the sword again.

Damaged aircraft were lined up around it.

It’s not like everyone fainted, and they were probably trying to get out after following the rules and ensuring complete safety.

Abel soon turned his attention elsewhere.

‘Henna, Lian, Aioline.’

If you add Daniel, who was dealt with by Iolin, to those he personally defeated, a total of four have been retired.

Now there are three left.

Charlotte, May and June.

“Hmm.”

As the state of the aircraft is not normal, you have to move more carefully.

Nothing could be more unsightly if you try to impress and then lose.

Abel thought about where they might be before stepping away.

Abel, who was wandering around the wide meadow, found someone faster than he thought.

‘what?’

What Abel found was Jun’s body.

To be precise, it was Jun’s aircraft, which was damaged and scattered on the floor.

It looked like his whole body had been slashed, but the decisive factor was the damage to the center of his chest.

Quaang!

Abel, who was about to take a closer look, stopped at the sound he heard from somewhere.

The sound of fighting came from a location not far away.

Caan-!

thump thump.

Abel stopped looking and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound, shaking the ground.

In the meantime, the frequency of the metallic ringing gradually decreased, and at some point it suddenly cut off.

‘It’s over.’

This is a sign that the battle is over.

Abel moved in the direction of the sound and soon noticed an aircraft standing in the middle of nowhere.

That’s right-.

Damaged aircraft and flags were strewn about the uneasy staggering aircraft.

The traces left on the aircraft were similar to those left on Jun’s Gigant.

I expected it to some extent, but seeing it in reality was even more surprising.

It was none other than Mei who piloted the last remaining aircraft.

Abel narrowed his brows.

‘Why?’

Even in the game, it wasn’t that there weren’t any scenes where Mei was active.

If he did, he wouldn’t even be called a lazy genius.

However, there was no route to revealing one’s skills at such an early point.

‘Didn’t he seem very uninterested even before the game started?’

Yes.

Mei’s aircraft moved slowly while her head was complicated.

Seeing that, Abel put strength into the hand holding the sword. Whatever the intention, the decision must be made immediately.

You can still have a conversation after the conversation is over.

Mei’s weapon is a pair of swords. It’s the same one-handed sword, but its reach is shorter than Abel’s.

‘once.’

Both Mei’s aircraft and Abel’s aircraft were in poor condition.

In addition, Mei’s trick is the series of consecutive attacks that flow like water. If possible, it’s good to see the game as a team.

Abel gathered his remaining strength and ran forward.

Percussion!

The gap has narrowed.

I had no intention of prolonging the battle. And judging from the state of the gas, the opponent must have been the same.

Winning or losing will be the difference in this matchup.

When the distance narrowed enough to touch each other with arms outstretched, the three swords moved.

Mei’s twin swords aimed at Abel’s chest and head, and at that moment.

‘Shadow step.’

Abel’s aircraft suddenly stopped.

The skill’s momentum was used in the opposite direction of the charge.

Unexpecting that, Mei’s two swords cut through the air, and Abel immediately stretched his sword forward.

Kwajik!

A sword pierced his head.

As expected, Mei’s attack was very threatening, but it meant nothing if she couldn’t hit it.

Abel suddenly drew his sword.

Mei’s aircraft passed slowly.

cooong!

After confirming that Mei’s aircraft was completely incapacitated, Abel picked up the flag that was scattered on one side.

After that, the fatigue set in quickly. Even if it was a Tito-class Giganta, the fatigue felt was not so small.

Still, along with the fatigue came the exhilarating pleasure.

In the end, we defeated the other outstanding people and won the final victory.

Woo-woo-!

In the distance, I saw several Gigants approaching with a power sound.

It was none other than Jacqueline and the Gigant of the other facilitators.

– You worked hard!

Then came Jacqueline’s lively voice, and Abel smiled lightly.

The short battle is over.

* * *

“Then, the leader in the mock battle will be Cadet Abel Klein. Does anyone have any objections?”

No one answered Jacqueline’s words.

It was because I felt the definite skill gap to disobey the match.

Henna and Lian collapsed after only a few seconds, and Eolin and May didn’t make much of a difference either.

Tired and depressed expressions appeared on the faces of the classmates.

Abel shifted his gaze slightly. He turned towards Mei, who was standing on his diagonal. Coincidentally, Mae was also looking at him, and their eyes met.

Mei made a strange expression and pursed her lips.

at that time.

“Well, it seems there is none.”

Jacqueline opened her mouth again.

“Everyone had a hard time. Let’s go back and rest.”

“yes.”

“thank you.”

They said goodbye to Jacqueline and left the building together.

The road back to the dormitory was quiet.

Everyone seemed to be pondering something, as if they had felt a lot from the battle.

Abel was also walking quietly, looking straight ahead. Exactly, it had to be.

It was because the message was being updated frantically in front of my eyes.

[I succeeded in making a strong impression on everyone and took the position of leader!]

[You have successfully completed the first linked quest!]

[The reward is enhanced.]

First, a quest completion message.

You have successfully taken the first step of the main quest.

The reward will be received after completing all the linked quests, but just the fact that the reward has been strengthened made me happy.

one more there.

[You have achieved the challenge ‘Get 1 win in Mock Battle’.]

[You will be given ‘Magic Candle’ as a reward.]

Even rewards for small challenges.

It’s not up to the random skill pack I got after completing Facing the Fragments of the Giant, but I was satisfied enough because my top priority right now was to improve my magic.

‘When I go back, I’ll have to open the skill pack and eat the magic grass right away.’

Just the thought of being able to move forward made my heart flutter.

After walking like that, I arrived at the dormitory in no time.

“See you on Thursday.”

“uh.”

The children said goodbye to each other dryly, perhaps not waking up from the remnants of the battle, and then dispersed.

Abel also tried to go straight to his room.

I had no intention of skipping the evening training, but it was because I was full of desire to see the rewards right away.

But before he even set foot on the first step, someone called him.

“Klein.”

A strangely strange voice.

Turning his head, Abel was surprised to see who had called him.

Purple hair and languid eyes. It was May.

The reason I thought the voice was unfamiliar was because I had never actually heard her speak.

Abel calmed down his embarrassment and answered.

“why?”

“… … that. How are you doing?”

“that? what is that?”

If you say it out of the blue, there’s no way you can understand it.

At Abel’s question, Mei narrowed her brows about what was wrong, then opened her mouth again.

“that… … From this side, thump, thump.”

What Mei pointed to was Abel’s chest.

Abel was about to ask again what that meant, but was momentarily speechless. It was because of the pattern that had recently appeared in that location.

‘what?’

Do you see something in Mei’s eyes? or not… … ?

His head was complicated, but Abel opened his mouth when he felt her gaze staring at him.

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”

“Every time you control Gigant, I see something strange. So I wanted to check it out for myself.”

“What exactly did you see?”

Mei tilted her head slightly before speaking.

“Something dug in from there and burst out and was sucked into Gigant… … .”

what the heck does that mean

Abel barely swallowed the words that reached the top of his throat. It was because, looking at it, there seemed to be no specific answer.

May looked at the expression on Abel’s face and spoke again.

“You don’t even know. Let me know when you find out later.”

“Uh, yes.”

After that, Mei turned around and walked away without hesitation.

I already knew that Mei was unusual, but when I actually talked to her, I realized that she was more than I thought.

‘Still, I guess it’s a good thing since we opened up a conversation, right?’

Abel climbed the stairs feeling puzzled.

* * *

the next morning.

The first thing Abel did after finishing his morning training and taking a shower was to check his condition.

He had a great tool that allowed him to see himself objectively.

[Abel]

[Type: Human]

[Physical Class: C]

[Tune rate: S]

[mana: C]

[Retention period: ?]

[Skills: Overflow, Shadow Step, Double Attack, Beginner Gigant… … .]

The body grade and synchro- rate remained the same.

It was only natural that the tuning rate was the same as it was S-class, and it was not an easy stat to raise originally.

It’s still too early to climb the body level.

‘My magic has finally reached the C grade.’

The only stat that went up a notch was mana.

The last time I received a buff as a reward, I trained hard, and the magic candles I received as rewards in between were very helpful.

Compared to the aristocratic children who have been training by eating good things since childhood, it will not be much lacking now.

There shouldn’t be a big problem in dealing with Miles freely.

A step difference is pretty big.

As with the physical class, it is very difficult to achieve the B class above it.

But it’s not impossible.

Because he will keep moving forward.

‘The newly acquired skill was also quite useful.’

‘Double Attack’ from the random skill pack was added to the skill slot.

As the name suggests, it’s a skill that attacks twice, but it felt like it instantly increased the attack speed.

Needless to say, it would be very useful in practice.

However, there was a more noticeable change than the increase in magic stat or the acquisition of new skills, and it was the question mark added next to the holding period.

The question mark is what appears when you haven’t named your Gigant yet.

In other words, it meant that Abel’s Gigant was completed.

‘If I do well, I’ll see you today.’

Coincidentally, the first hour is Gigant training.

Considering that he said that from today he would train with an actual Gigant rather than a training device, there was a high probability that his guess was correct.

Abel smiled, got dressed, and came out.

After passing through the hallway and down the stairs, he saw Daniel waiting for him.

“Abel, let’s go!”

“uh.”

Daniel was still full of energy even though he was so exhausted during early morning training.

Abel came down the stairs and left the building with Daniel.

As always, Abel, who had listened to Daniel’s story in one ear and let it out in the other, found someone just after coming down the stairs.

Silver hair shining softly in the sunlight.

It was a violin.

Since they weren’t in the same class, and they weren’t particularly close, Abel naturally tried to look at her again.

But suddenly, Eolin turned her head to look at Abel and opened her mouth.

“Klein.”

“uh?”

“Can I see you for a minute after class today?”

Abel pondered for a moment before answering.

“There is nothing that can’t be done.”

“Then at eight in the main hall.”

Iolyn said that, then turned around and walked away, as if she had finished what she had to say.

Yesterday’s look overlapped.

‘Both are really out of the blue.’

People who don’t usually talk well asked for a conversation one after another, so I wanted something.

“what?”

Daniel also opened his eyes wide and asked if he was surprised to see Ioline suddenly talking to Abel.

Abel said as he took another step.

“what.”

“Are you friends with him?”

“no.”

“Then what is it? huh? if… … .”

“If you talk nonsense, we won’t fight.”

Daniel’s mouth, which had been starting to fire at those words, was closed again.

Thanks to that, I was able to go to the lecture place quietly.

The place of the first class was now very familiar.

This is because there is only one place where freshmen can practice gigant freely.

A vast vacant lot that Abel calls a playground.

More than ten Gigant were lying there.

‘Looking at it like this, it’s really dirty and spacious.’

It was an empty lot with more than 10 Gigant lying down. Every time I see this, I get tired of the scale of the academy.

As I walked in, I saw a familiar gorilla, no, a person ahead.

“ruler! Only 10 people came.”

There were still about 5 minutes left, but the gorilla-like instructor smiled and said,

it’s a cowl

Originally in the game, he was in charge of the second year students, but he was changed to be in charge of education for the first year students under the principal’s special order.

‘I was a bit surprised at first.’

Now I just want to do it.

Because nothing has changed. To be honest, when it comes to surprising things, it’s more surprising that May and Iolin talked to each other a day apart.

Above all, it was one of the lying Gigant that drew Abel’s attention right now.

Kaul said after looking over the cadets.

“Today is Gigant Practice! Finally, you chicks are going to ride the Gigant themselves! You’ve learned something, so you won’t look as bad as the first time, right?”

Kaul continued talking without waiting for an answer.

“First of all, go and stand in front of your own Gigant. Abel! You are coming here.”

Abel went right up to him.

Kaul smiled at him as he approached and said.

“Do you know why I called you?”

“Has my gigant production been completed?”

“okay. What you are seeing right now is correct. Come closer and see.”

Even before Kaul called, Abel’s gaze was fixed on one side. As soon as he got permission, he ran right there.

The Gigant lying on the floor were all of the same Milles class, but even their appearance was not the same.

So, Abel was able to easily find his aircraft.

“and.”

An exclamation burst out of his mouth.

The whole body was coated in black, and the wolf pattern was clearly engraved on the left pauldron.

Abel slowly scanned Gigant’s entire body.

Because it was designed with an emphasis on mobility, the armor was not very thick, and there were elegant curves everywhere.

There are special parts on the back, head and feet.

‘Three kinds of scarlet set.’

It was the Gigant armament that Scarlett had promised.

I wanted to jump right in and check it out one by one.

But before that, Abel remembered what he had prepared for this moment.

A name he thought of for his second gigant.

“Lupus.”

Lupus.

It was a word that meant wolf, and it was the name of Gigant, which was used the most in the game.

[The name of the holding period is changed to ‘Lupus’.]

Scary to think, the message came to mind.

When I checked the status window for a moment, Lupus was registered in the name of the possessed Gigant there as well.

Abel looked at his Gigant with a thrilled heart. Then, Kaul spoke from behind.

“Do you like it?”

“yes.”

“I see.”

Kaul nodded and put a hand on Abel’s shoulder.

“Today’s class will aim to move, stand up, and even walk.”

“Ah yes.”

He didn’t know why he had to come and talk to him, but he nodded first.

Kaul said to Abel in a warm voice.

“But you are not.”

“yes?”

“You already know how to do it.”

Turning his head slightly, he saw the human gorilla giving off an eerie grin.

“You are special training with me.”

The moment I said special training, the gorilla’s pectoralis major muscle trembled.

Abel felt ominous.
