I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

chapter 21



A silver whip flew through the hole in the wall.

“Ah!”

Lian screamed and threw herself to the side.

Quaang-!

Right after that, a silver whip hit the spot where Lian was standing.

Had he been a little late, Lian would have lost his life.

In such a chaotic situation, a message appeared in front of Abel’s eyes.

[Sudden Quest ‘Escape’ activated!]

[Get out of the tower alive!]

[A ‘Strong Supporter’ event will occur as a reward for completing the quest!]

[Additional rewards will be given if no deaths occur during the escape process!]

damn quest.

At the banquet of messages that instantly obscured his vision, Abel sped up his run while swearing inwardly.

Now was not the time to leisurely check the contents of the quest.

“Move quickly!”

Hearing Tania’s voice shouting from behind, Abel crouched down and jumped high.

Knock!

Abel’s body landed in Tito’s cockpit.

It wasn’t a smooth landing, but Abel quickly squeezed himself into the cockpit while keeping his hands on his core.

Woo woo woo.

As much as I could inject magic into the core, the cockpit’s armor closed.

Abel immediately closed his eyes and raised the tune.

The mana that surged from his body circulated between the core and Abel’s body, awakening the sleeping giant.

coo-!

Soon Tito hit the ground with both feet.

It was a semi-decorative object, so the joints were stiff and there was no special armament, but Tito was Tito.

Abel moved Tito without a second thought.

The goal is nothing but straight ahead.

It was where Tania was standing.

Kaaang!

Tania was holding a sword and chasing the whips digging into the tower.

If it hadn’t been for her, a powerful warrior before Rider, one or two of the cadets here would have been seriously injured.

However, they couldn’t expect Tania to completely resolve this situation.

No matter how powerful a warrior may be, the sword Tania is holding is an ordinary iron sword, and she has no secondary armament.

In fact, it was as good as a bare body.

‘The compatibility is not good.’

Abel observed the monster through the hole in the wall.

It was a round sphere with dozens of whip-like tentacles attached to it.

As he remembered, the characteristics of that ‘Colossus Fragment’ were freely moving tentacles and a filthy sturdy body.

No matter how powerful a warrior is, it is difficult to inflict proper damage with a bare iron sword.

Moreover, since Tania had to protect the other cadets, she had no choice but to be on the defensive.

So Abel moved Tito and dug between the two without hesitation.

aaang!

While forcibly intervening, the whip struck his shoulder, but the shock was not too great as he sneakily crouched down and let the attack flow.

When fighting with Gigant, there is a fighting method unique to Gigant.

There is no such thing as pain in Gigant.

If you take a big break, you take psychological damage, but you don’t feel the same pain just because you get hit by one.

As long as it wasn’t completely destroyed at once, it was manageable.

“I will stop you here!”

Abel shouted at Tania.

That’s why it is necessary to move more boldly when fighting Gigant.

aaang!

The whip glided right over Tito’s head and hit the wall.

It was an attack that would have blown his head off if he made a mistake, but Abel didn’t blink an eye.

bang!

Kwaaang!

Block, spill, dodge.

Abel did not give in to the fierce attack and quickly closed the distance to the giant fragment.

“Everyone get on board! hurry!”

In the meantime, Tania slipped back and climbed onto Tito while encouraging the other cadets.

‘done.’

Now, there is no one left between that monster and Abel.

That means you don’t have to worry about other people.

“Haaa!”

Abel deliberately drew the monster’s attention with a spirited spirit.

The monster swung its tentacles even faster as if stimulated by it.

On the surface, Abel seemed to be in danger, but in reality it was not.

It was because everyone was getting on Tito and trying to join Abel.

When others join in, it only takes a moment for the tide to turn.

The monster must have noticed that too, and suddenly moved the round body without swinging the whip.

Wow-!

Then, the middle of the main body opened wide, and some pupils appeared.

The moment their eyes met, Abel’s body stiffened.

Unprecedented energy bound Abel’s body.

-You filthy tribe!

Taking advantage of that gap, the whips flew all at once towards Abel.

Abel felt that the monster seemed strangely delighted.

But that was a hasty feeling.

Roaring-!

Suddenly, strong flames erupted from the center of the cockpit, blocking Tito’s frontal area.

Demitri’s flame, received as a quest reward the other day, automatically activated to form a fire shield.

Hwareuk!

The whip couldn’t pierce the intense flame.

“Now it is my turn.”

Abel, who was later released from paralysis, smiled and used the Shadow Step.

Whoops!

Abel’s body glided forward.

The monster belatedly tried to swing its tentacles, but Abel had already arrived right in front of him.

Quadduk!

Abel embraced the body of the monster as it was.

Dealing with that monster without any armament is difficult. in the normal way.

Of course, Abel had no intention of dealing with the monster in a normal way.

cooong!

Abel, who tightly embraced the wildly struggling monster, turned around.

Standing there was Tania, who had boarded Tito.

She jumped straight ahead and threw a fist without Abel needing to say anything.

The fist had a terrifyingly red glow.

aaang!

A deafening roar.

The monster’s body, which had been writhing like mad in Abel’s arms, drooped.

It was just after that that the message appeared in front of my eyes.

[You have completed the challenge ‘Defeat the Fragments of Intermediate Colossus’.]

[As a reward, you will be given the ‘Thunderbolt’ skill.]

It was a more generous reward than expected.

But there was no time to be happy about it.

“Huh, huh.”

Abel breathed heavily.

A strong headache hit my head.

At the last moment, it was a side effect of consuming a huge amount of mana and mental strength to stop the monster’s struggle.

At least it was this much because Tania came forward quickly, otherwise she would have already been rolling on the floor.

-Abel!

Then someone put a hand on the shoulder of Abel, who was suffering from a headache.

It was Daniel.

-are you okay?

-it’s crazy? What are you going to do if it goes wrong?

Then, Henna also rode a Gigant and fired at Abel. His voice was full of worry.

-Ugh.

Abel answered in a weak voice and looked around to assess the situation.

The first thing that caught my eye was the corpse of another monster nearby.

I didn’t know because I was concentrating on the battle, but it seemed that another monster had invaded in the middle.

Daniel noticed his gaze and spoke quickly.

“That was taken down by a soldier over there. Oh, and the elevator is dangerous, so he said he had to go down the stairs.”

The number of fragments of the giant targeting this tower was not limited to one or two.

Rather, the ones we just dealt with were like detached units, and the main units were concentrated on the ground and in the lower floors of the tower.

– Whoa. I’m feeling better now.

Abel told them it was okay and stood on his own. The two of them looked at him with anxious expressions, but the situation was the situation, so they didn’t say anything.

Abel walked over to Tania with the two of them.

– We need to get out of here as quickly as possible.

-Abel.

Tania looked at Abel with a subtle expression.

From the standpoint of a teacher, he would have to scold a cadet for dangerous behavior, but if Abel hadn’t acted quickly, the damage would have been much greater.

In particular, his calm judgment and aircraft control, which were not typical of a cadet, were admirable.

Tania, as a rider with quite a lot of experience before being a teacher, quickly organized her thoughts and opened her mouth.

-okay. As you said, the first step is to get out of here. The situation is dire.

Looking at the superficial situation, in fact, it could be a more dangerous action to forcefully escape the tower.

Isn’t this the wall of glory lined with great soldiers and riders?

Reasonably, it was much safer to wait for them to come to the rescue after sorting out the fragments of the lower level giant.

However, Tania decided to escape after confirming that the scene she could see through the hole in the wall was not unusual.

Abel also nodded without saying anything because he was well aware of the current situation.

‘There is no support anyway.’

Originally, reinforcements should have arrived as soon as the incident occurred, but that was not the case now.

And Abel knew why.

It was because a special entity was clinging to this tower and spreading a barrier to impede recognition and block out noise.

The only thing stopping the monsters from attacking the lower floors of the tower were the troops originally guarding the tower.

‘There’s a high possibility that the outsiders don’t know the current situation of the tower at all.’

The appearance of a peculiar object and the abnormal behavior of the giant were things that the empire could not have imagined.

No, in fact, everyone would be the same.

The current situation was so out of common sense that it was similar to a dog that was raised at home suddenly walking on two legs and talking to people.

Starting from today, many things will change.

Abel looked at Tania after taking a magic booster that he had kept aside.

Tania looked away from Abel and looked at the other cadets.

– Let’s get everyone straight. After arranging the ranks, move on.

Presumably they had already kissed the soldier, the ranks were decided with Tania at the front, the soldier at the back, and the cadets in between.

Tania then spoke in a tense voice.

-I just think about getting out of here alive.

-yes.

They started down the tower.

* * *

aaang!

coo-!

As I went down the stairs, a bloody roar and crash pierced my ears.

Even though I was inside the tower, I could roughly guess what the situation would be like outside.

But there was no time to worry about the situation outside.

In terms of risk, it’s not easy here either.

-The sound… … .

Hena, who was standing right behind Abel, muttered in a nervous voice.

Even Abel was feeling it.

That the noise coming from below is getting less and less. And what that meant was clear.

The monsters that attacked the tower were almost eliminated.

Or, it was said that the troops guarding the tower were on the verge of being annihilated.

thump, thump, thump.

Tito lined up down the stairs.

Nothing happened until about half way down.

However, after about 5 minutes had passed, Mei, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.

-come.

Mei’s voice wasn’t as drowsy as usual, it was shrill and shrill.

And the words contained the obvious truth.

Kagak-.

The sound of scratching the wall.

Something was coming up.

Tania quietly raised her hand and stopped.

The stairs were quite wide, but it was not a good place to fight.

Even though Tito is not as huge as the riding type, it is well over 3m tall.

Kagagak-.

Kagak.

However, they did not have a chance to choose the battlefield they wanted, and the sound was getting closer.

Abel listened to the sound and awakened all his senses.

And when the sound suddenly cut off. After counting to three, Abel shouted.

– Get down!

Some of them reflexively ducked at that cry, while others pulled themselves by Abel himself with both hands.

aaang-!

It was right after that that one side of the wall burst out.

A sharp thorn-like object scratched the wall all the way, and stone fragments fell in torrents.

Some moaned from falling stones, but Abel didn’t care and shouted.

– Run! right now!

Abel shouted and pushed those standing in front of him. There was no time to kindly explain in words.

Everyone was stunned, but quickly ran downstairs.

Kwaaang!

bang!

Kwaaang!

Immediately after that, the wall on the side they were standing on exploded simultaneously.

“Kiriririk!”

A new monster through the cracked walls. The ‘Spider’ appeared.

“Kiaaa!”

A life-and-death chase began with the screams of the spiders.
