I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

The rising heat did not know that it would soon subside.

Then, Jacqueline shouted loudly.

“All aboard!”

At that, the cadets who had been waiting quickly climbed into the cockpit.

Abel was no exception.

The heat was still bothering him, but he climbed into the cockpit and put his hand on the core.

Woo woo woo woo-!

As I raised my mana and pushed it into the core, the thick armor moved and wrapped around the cockpit.

Then, in response to magic power, Lupus opened his eyes.

It was around that time that the unknown heat suddenly subsided.

“Whoa.”

Abel let out a hot breath.

Why did the heat suddenly rise? And I don’t know what caused it to sink again.

‘A fragment of a giant. I’m sure it has something to do with that blade tail.’

It’s not that there’s nothing to point out, but there was no time to think about it right now.

Because I had more than one eye to see, and I had work to do.

Abel began to sympathize with Lupus by gathering his scattered concentration.

From a body of flesh and blood to a gigantic body made of metal.

The mind expanded in an instant through the core.

and at some point Abel was looking outside through Lupus’s eyes.

“Lupus.”

-master. Is today the day?

Lupus woke up and asked a question about Abel’s call.

Abel slowly raised himself and answered.

“okay.”

coo-!

Two thick legs stood on the ground.

Abel, who was the first to stand up straight, continued with a bright smile.

“Today is finally my first real fight with you.”

The unidentified heat and the eyes of numerous observers were all buried in the excitement of the upcoming battle.

Looking around, it was as if I had been standing in the ring of an underground arena for the first time in a while.

If you leave your body to the excitement like this, you will surely be able to perform an activity that cannot be compared to that time.

“Whoa.”

But Abel took a short deep breath to calm the excitement.

A battle with an audience is the same, but the place he is standing now is not simply a place where he is highly evaluated for fighting alone.

If I had wanted that, I would have joined the mercenaries instead of the academy.

thump, thump-!

While Abel was clearing his mind, the other cadets raised their gigant one after another.

It was a very fast pace, probably because only the exceptional ones were gathered among the entire cadets.

Abel, who served as the leader, spoke loudly.

-Everyone stand in formation!

Kung, koo-ung!

At Abel’s command, everyone moved in their original formation.

Abel with a sword and shield in the center, Daniel with a spear and shield on the left. On the right stood Lian holding a huge shield.

Behind him is Mei with two swords and Yiolin with one sword. And Jun stood up.

Standing at the back were Henna holding a magic cannon and Charlotte, bare-handed but wearing artifacts on both arms.

Abel opened his mouth again after checking his formation.

– Power is ready.

In response to Abel’s report, Jacqueline spoke while using the voice amplification artifact.

“The battle begins in 3 minutes.”

After those words, Jacqueline stepped away, and a heavy silence fell over the mock battlefield.

Everyone will be tense.

The fortunate thing was that no one stood firm at all, perhaps thanks to the fact that everyone had gone through a real battle at the Wall of Glory the other day.

‘I don’t have to say anything else.’

After examining the atmosphere, Abel was relieved and looked forward.

No one is more than nervous, so there is no need to do anything.

If the operation is carried out properly, even if one or two people make a mistake, it won’t be a big problem.

‘The important thing is the enemy.’

Abel narrowed his eyes.

The bladed tail trapped inside the cage was looking this way with its distinctive blade-like tail raised.

The red eyes of the blade’s tail had a sense of intimidation that made the person facing it feel intimidated.

Abel thought to himself.

‘It’s really huge.’

The height of the bladed tail is slightly less than 4m.

It was in the form of a four-legged wolf, so it was about that much, but if it stood up straight, it would have been bigger than Miles, which was around 6m tall.

-Is that bladed tail fragment of the giant strong?

Abel gave a simple answer to Lupus’s sudden question.

“okay. You are strong.”

The Blade Tail is one of the strongest fragments of the Colossus.

Although the fragments encountered at the Wall of Glory were quite threatening, it was not because each individual was strong, but rather because of the enormous quantity and environment.

They were suddenly attacked, had no meager weapons, and were all riding the Tito class, one notch below Miles.

-That’s strange. Honestly, aren’t most of the people standing there inexperienced warriors? But what about dealing with strong enemies? According to your description, don’t they all have some status?

Rufus fired off a series of questions.

It wasn’t that strange.

Because Lupus was quite curious.

When I boarded Gigant like this, I would always pour out endless questions.

Normally, he would have answered honestly, but given the situation, Abel answered simply.

“okay. If you don’t, you won’t survive.”

– You say you can’t survive? You humans don’t look that weak either.

“It doesn’t look that way here. But it’s not so easy outside.”

… … And in a few years, even the high-walled capital of the empire would be threatened.

Abel swallowed the afterword and brought up another one.

“Looks like we’ll start soon. If you have any further questions, I will answer them later.”

-i get it.

Rufus immediately became quiet at Abel’s words. And when about 1 minute has passed.

Woo-woo-!

With a wave of strong magic power, the barrier covering the iron bars disappeared.

The battle has begun.

* * *

The cadets in this position are all brilliant talents.

Even if it hasn’t fully bloomed yet, that talent hasn’t been hidden like an awl in a pocket.

aaang-!

Even when the tails of blades broke through the cages that stood in their way, the cadets held their formation firmly.

Even if they were nervous, no one got scared and backed off.

Abel was satisfied with that and gave instructions calmly.

– Henna.

-huh!

At Abel’s call, Henna blew magical energy into the magic cannon mounted on her shoulder.

Woo woo woo woo woo-.

Quaang-!

A beam of light shot out from the magic cannon with a roar.

“Hoo.”

“indeed. Del Kior’s talent shines through this generation as well.”

Its power and speed were unbelievable for a freshman, and most of the professors who were present burst into admiration.

Percussion!

However, such admiration was overshadowed, the blade tail lightly dodged the light.

It was a natural result because he honestly used the Magic Cannon without any threats or checks.

Of course, no one blamed Henna for that.

It was Abel who was at the forefront who gave that kind of command.

“Hmm. No matter how great a weapon is, it’s useless if you can’t handle it properly.”

“A talent for dealing with gigants does not necessarily lead to a talent for strategy.”

Some impatient professors criticized Abel for just one move.

But the discerning professors remained silent with placid faces.

And it was the same with Abel.

It was because the attack just a moment ago was not intended to inflict damage in the first place.

charrr-!

Instead of striding forward like before, the bladed tail showed signs of alertness and raised its tail.

It was exactly the reaction Abel wanted.

‘good.’

everyone will see

The tail of the blade stopped with a sign of alertness in a single shot of the magic gun.

If I hadn’t felt dangerous, I wouldn’t have reacted like that.

The effect was clear.

Bringing the image of the blade tail that would have been inflated in the heads of other cadets into reality.

Of course, this was just the beginning.

“hook.”

Abel let out a hot breath.

He wasn’t just playing around while Henna fired a demonic cannon and the blade tail saw it and stopped vigilantly.

To be precise, I used ‘overflow’ right after giving the instruction.

Thanks to that, Abel’s body was boiling as if it would explode at any moment.

Abel endured to the limit and then jumped forward without any warning.

Quaang-!

At the same time as the roar, Lupus rushed forward as if he was being shot.

The blade tail, which had been raising its alertness for a while, swiftly dodged to the left to avoid Lupus.

However, Abel, who used the crown of the great sage, twisted his body and swung his sword as if he had predicted it.

Quagga gagagak!

There was a sound like a metal plate being torn apart.

The sword Abel wielded split the side of the blade’s tail.

The bladed tail opened its mouth wide in pain as its skin was being ripped open, but reflexively swung its tail.

Kwajik!

The sharp tail pierced Rufus’ shoulder.

The blade tail showed a happy expression for a moment, as if it thought it had retaliated, but unfortunately, it was the same for Abel.

Abel in the cockpit shouted with a grin.

-now!

Knock!

Abel let go of his shield and grabbed his tail.

The blade tail noticed the strangeness belatedly and tried to pull it out, but it didn’t budge.

Whoa!

And the team members did not miss the opportunity created by Abel.

First, Daniel threw away his shield and threw his spear with all his might.

Quadd Deuk!

The spear pierced one leg of the tail of the blade as it was, and dug straight into the solid ground.

Mei, who jumped up high before I knew it, fell from the air and slashed the back of the tail of the blade.

– Woo woo woo woo!

The blade tail roared in pain at the flowing water.

Probably by now, most of the people on Gigant would have had their faces flushed.

Feeling the heightened atmosphere, Abel shouted again.

– All back! Ryan!

Not everyone reacted promptly to the first words.

It was an expected situation. In a situation where you are being pushed in the middle of the day, the words to fall back won’t come to you right away.

So, Abel expected that and called Lian.

cooong!

Lian, who had been waiting behind the whole time, came running with a huge shield in front.

Abel saw it and immediately tugged at its tail.

It was right after that that the tail of the blade, which had been silent the whole time, moved after he cried out in pain.

aaang-!

A deafening roar rang out.

And the results of that roar were astonishing.

Lian, who had been running energetically, bounced off in the opposite direction, and the shield he was holding was half bent.

Abel was also in a bad condition.

– The left arm is no longer usable.

The left shoulder blade, where the tail was stuck, was almost shattered. It was barely on the level.

The atmosphere instantly cooled as if cold water had been poured on it.

But the battle was only just beginning.

Charrr

The bladed tail looked straight at Abel while wagging its tail, which had grown into two before he knew it.

‘It looks like a wolf, but it acts like a fox.’

Maybe that’s why the word wolf isn’t included in the name.

In the first place, though, the fragments of the giants themselves were of a different texture from normal living beings.

Abel shouted without taking his eyes off the blade’s tail.

– Rihanna! are you okay?

-uh!

Fortunately, Lian didn’t seem to have any damage except for the crooked shield.

In the first place, with this situation in mind, I had an extra shield attached to my back, so the actual damage was only on one side of Abel’s arm.

In a brief interval, Abel looked back on the situation.

When the situation turned unfavorable, the tail of the blade deliberately took more attacks to induce distraction.

That’s why there weren’t many fatal wounds.

And Abel saw through it from the beginning and blocked his surprise attack with minimal damage.

If he had warned sooner, he might not have been harmed at all, but he didn’t deliberately.

This is because Abel is not the only one fighting.

‘I’m sure everyone came to their senses with this.’

Now, none of those present would be caught off guard or overexcited.

In other words, it is a story that the environment has been prepared to fully demonstrate the power of this side.

Abel smiled.

The perfect stage was unfolding in front of my eyes.
