I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

Abel was confident enough to defeat the blade tail by himself.

Among those who participated in this practice, there will be those who have such confidence.

But even so, it was difficult for several people to work together to completely defeat the blade tail.

This is because each of them has lived a different path and each has a different way of fighting.

In order for many people to join forces and fight well, they must overcome such ‘differences’ and unite.

The reason for conducting this practice class at the beginning of the semester must have been to make students aware of that fact.

However, the professors also had something unexpected.

– Rihanna! from now on!

To Abel, who served as the leader, that was not a problem at all.

Kwaaang-!

The fierce attack of the blade tail was blocked by Lian’s shield.

The blade tail, which had been hiding its power all along, continued its attack desperately when the surprise attack went nowhere.

Even the tail of the blade knows. If I lose my momentum like this, I won’t be able to survive.

Woo woo woo woo!

The serrated tail cut through the air with an eerie sound.

Iolin, who avoided the attack by a single point, fell backwards instead of swinging her weapon again.

Basically, this battle was in the form of a ‘wheel war’.

It means that the goal is to finish it after removing the power of the blade tail as much as possible instead of having a decisive battle in a short period of time.

It was a strategy that everyone agreed on because no one was particularly active, and they were able to show their skills equally.

It’s an ideal battle situation.

-Wouldn’t this be the end?

However, regret and disappointment emanated from Rufus’ voice as he asked Abel a question.

A smile formed on Abel’s lips.

This is because Lupus’s true intentions were clearly read.

Now he calls Abel his master and follows him, but Lupus is a beast that cannot be easily controlled.

A beast that, if given the chance even once, would rip open the iron bars that imprisoned it and jump out.

Lupus is something that can never be handled with a half-hearted mind.

“No way.”

That’s why Abel spoke to Lupus in a determined voice.

“It’s just the beginning, so keep an eye on it.”

Abel raised the sword with his only remaining arm and shouted.

– Now it’s me!

At those words, Lian stepped back without hesitation.

There was no regret in the movement, as if he thought he had already shown his skills sufficiently.

It was only natural that he had performed the defense mission almost alone against the blade tail.

Quaang!

When Lian, who had been blocking his attacks in every case, fell out, the blade tail tried to attack as if it had waited.

But Abel didn’t give it a chance.

cooong!

Abel, who kicked off the ground and ran forward, immediately swung his sword at the blade’s tail.

bang!

The blade tail, which was about to attack Mei from behind, hurriedly turned around and blocked Abel’s sword.

Then, the two tails aimed at Abel’s left shoulder and side.

Quagga gagagak!

Abel struck it off with just one sword strike.

Not only the professors, but also the other cadets opened their eyes wide in surprise.

It was just one gesture, but it felt like something had changed.

Whoa!

The blade tail swung its front paws.

Abel leaned forward and swung his sword upward.

The trajectory of the attack using the tail was variable and fast, but Abel casually struck it off with his sword.

The tail of the blade blocked every attack, and the wounds gradually increased on the body.

It was because Abel wasn’t the only one dealing with the blade tail.

Kagagakak!

Mei slashed the back of the tail of the blade and passed by, and the violin hit one point on the leg in succession.

At that time, everyone expected that it would be able to end smoothly if it continued like this.

coo-!

Once again, the blade tail showed a strange appearance.

It was similar to the first time he blew away Lian who was holding a shield in one blow.

Abel was well aware of what it was.

The blade tail is classified as an intermediate fragment because it has a unique ability, and the name of that unique ability is none other than ‘Strike’.

In an instant, it exerts supernatural power several times its original strength.

aaagh!

Abel saw the body of the blade tail wriggling in an unusual way.

If this continues, great damage will occur once again.

However, Abel, who was already expecting it, struck first.

‘Shadow step.’

before the attack is launched.

Abel’s machine moved at an astounding speed and struck the empty side of the blade’s tail with his sword.

Kwaaang-!

The huge body of the blade’s tail flew like a bounce.

Instead of rejoicing that the attack had hit the mark, Abel quickly followed the tail of the blade.

Chaaagh!

Armed on his feet, the Blessing of Wind worked and pushed Lupus away. Then the distance between the two narrowed in an instant.

The series of actions were surprisingly quick and fluid.

“Hoo-wook.”

While the others made admirable movements, Abel was exhaling hot air from his mouth.

I saw the bladed tail that had bounced right back upright and stabbed the sharp tail like a desperate fight.

As usual, it was a counterattack that would feel threatened.

However, Abel, who had raised his tune to the limit, felt no fear.

Synchronization is a very important ability for gigant riders.

The higher the level, the 100% of one’s abilities can be demonstrated.

No matter how brilliant a knight may be, he cannot become a Gigant Rider if his synchronization rate is low.

However, a high level of coordination does not necessarily mean that they fight well.

There is a common saying.

– No matter how high the synchronization rate is, in the end, isn’t the maximum level the end of your skills?

In general, it wasn’t so wrong.

No matter how high the synchronization rate is, if the Rider’s power is not good enough, it won’t be able to exert that much power.

But that’s just a general story.

What happens when the sync rate exceeds 100 and reaches 120 or 150?

What kind of power can the S-class’s synchronicity exert?

Kwaaang-!

The tail hit the ground.

It was the spot where Abel had been standing until just now. But at that moment, Abel was already flying through the air.

Right now, in Abel’s eyes, everything looked like slow motion.

Abel knew the answer to what power a high tune-up could exert.

If the synchronicity reaches its limit.

Beyond integrating with Gigant, it can do things impossible with a human body.

like now.

Woo woo woo woo-!

The time that had slowed down through the Sage’s Coffin became even slower.

Pushwwook!

The aircraft floating in the air descended to the ground through the blessing of the wind.

Even in the midst of that, the blade tail tried to attack Abel, but all the attacks were deflected by the guardian’s shield.

The result of using all three arms at the same time and mobilizing all skills.

The sword held by Abel broke through all resistance and reached between the eyebrows of the blade’s tail.

Quadruped!

As the blade pierced the leather made of metal, the body of the blade’s tail, which had struggled like mad until just before, sagged.

After seeing that, Abel relaxed his concentration.

The world, which had been slowing down, returned to normal in an instant, and Abel almost fell to his knees at the pain that hit his whole body.

My head was throbbing as if it were going to burst at any moment, and my body was as hot as if it would melt.

However, Abel gritted his teeth and stood proudly on his own two feet.

And then a message popped up in front of his eyes.

[I took on the role of leader and completed the mock battle perfectly!]

[The rewards are enhanced by successfully completing the linked quests.]

[You will be given ‘enhancement material’ as a reward.]

[I finished the fragments of the Intermediate Colossus myself.]

[The influence greatly increases.]

[I impressed many people with my outstanding skills.]

[The influence greatly increases.]

It was something that would bring a smile to my lips.

However, the additional message that popped up at the end was completely unexpected even for Abel.

[‘Sentence’ responds.]

When the above message comes to mind.

Abel saw an orb of white light rise from the corpse of the blade’s tail and fly towards him.

The orb passed through Rufus’ thick armor, appeared in the cockpit, and was sucked into Abel’s chest.

“Keugh.”

Abel frowned at the heat and the resulting pain.

However, in the message that followed, he forgot even the pain and made a blank expression.

[Absorbs some of the abilities of the mid-level giant’s fragment blade tail.]

[Physical abilities increase slightly.]

[The skill ‘Strike’ has been acquired.]

It was the first time I discovered an element I didn’t even know existed.

* * *

after the battle is over.

The aircraft that the cadets rode on were all moved to the workshop. This was because most of the aircraft were damaged in the fierce battle.

All the observers withdrew while the aircraft was being moved.

After all the situations were sorted out, Jacqueline gathered the cadets together and talked.

“There were a lot of regrets.”

Jacqueline’s tone had returned to the polite honorifics of her usual class.

But the content was never kind.

“Daniel had a lot of excitement in his movements. No matter how good your stamina is, if you waste your energy like that on the actual battlefield, you will definitely get tired in the middle. And henna… … .”

Jacqueline continued her scathing evaluation, pointing out each cadet.

And Abel was no exception.

“Abel must know him well. That I was overdoing it at the end.”

“That’s right.”

“I know you want to prove yourself, but you need to be a bit self-respecting.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

It was a point that Abel had fully anticipated. It was something I did even knowing that I would hear such criticism in the first place.

Jacqueline didn’t say anything more about whether she knew that either.

After criticizing her once, Jacqueline took a deep breath before opening her mouth again.

“I hope everyone will take note of what I said and improve. Now, let’s talk about the final grade.”

A smile formed on Jacqueline’s lips as she spoke.

“Everything is perfect.”

At those words, the cadets widened their eyes.

Jacqueline continued with a smile.

“This is the first real class, and despite the fact that it was a joint battle, everything went well beyond expectations. Abel, the leader, utilized the team members at the right time and the team members faithfully followed the leader’s orders.”

As the words continued, the hardened faces of the cadets turned bright.

Jacqueline continued her evaluation a little more and ended the story with a happy expression.

“Everyone did really well. I am very much looking forward to the future. Still, I hope you don’t get too excited and be diligent. Do you understand?”

“yes-!”

“Then let everyone get some rest. End of the lecture.”

Jacqueline left those words and turned away, and the cadets spoke only after she had distanced themselves a little.

“Wow. It was stronger than I thought.”

“I know. Even though I knew because Abel had told me beforehand, I was embarrassed when I used my unique ability.”

As Rian and Jun said a word, Daniel nodded and accepted the words.

“Even though I was riding in Gigant, every time I hit it, it felt like my hand hurt. It was very strong.”

“It was fast and very fast. Anyway, I didn’t know you could avoid it so easily.”

Henna said with a dissatisfied expression.

It seemed that he had been concerned the whole time that the blade tail easily avoided the magic cannon.

Then, the violin opened its mouth.

“Abel. How many armaments did you use at the same time at the end?”

At her question, the eyes of the cadets immediately turned to Abel.

Abel replied with an awkward smile.

“three.”

“three? Already dealing with three at the same time in real combat?”

“It is not simultaneous. We used them sequentially.”

“That’s it!”

As soon as it seemed that the topic of conversation would completely change to about himself, Abel quietly backed away.

Just when I thought about running away. A voice came to rescue him.

“Cadet Abel?”

Turning to the somehow familiar voice, Abel found a woman waving at him.

It was none other than Scarlett.

“Shall we talk for a minute? Regarding the promise we made last time.”

It was time to get an extra reward.
