I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

S class.

Although the modifier conditional was added, even considering that, it was a huge rating.

Abel narrowed his eyes.

Although I was extremely happy, I couldn’t help but like it because it was too much of a reward for the work I did.

No matter how much Scarlett was a good person, there was no way she would give her such a huge item for no reason.

‘Let’s check the contents first.’

Abel thought about this and that, then shook his head to see what exactly “conditional” meant.

It was because I wanted to be able to understand the current situation exactly by checking it.

As I stared at the message, a detailed explanation of the conditional immediately came to mind.

[This breathing method is incomplete. You must acquire the Optirum Breathing Method (2) for full effect.]

[Individual grade is B grade.]

“ah.”

Abel nodded as if he understood only after checking the message.

Because I’ve been through similar situations in games.

“I guess this is the first half.”

Cases such as special visions or breathing methods were often composed of several volumes.

Of course, you can’t master it completely by learning just one book, and you can’t fully learn it until you learn all of them.

In other words, only one book is currently in Abel’s hand. All I had to get was 2 books.

Abel pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Acquire.”

the moment you answered.

charrr-!

The pages of the book flipped frantically, and blue light began to emanate from them.

Abel felt a wave of unfamiliar knowledge flood into his head.

It was similar to when I learned the skill, but different.

It is similar to awakening knowledge that did not exist before, but the vastness was incomparable.

It’s like literally punching a book into your head.

“Ugh… … .”

Abel trembled and grabbed his head.

My head was hot as if it was overloaded. It was to the point where I wondered if my whole brain would melt if I continued like this.

I wanted to scream coolly, but I couldn’t, so I just gritted my teeth and endured.

“Keuk… … .”

Long enough to endure that pain.

[Acquisition has been completed.]

As soon as the message popped up, the headache disappeared like snow.

Abel was dumbfounded by the surprising temperature difference and only blinked.

‘Is it the end?’

After thinking about it for a while, Abel came up with an easy way to check and tried it right away.

That reminds me of the contents of the book.

Then I could see the results right away.

The contents of the book that I hadn’t read properly yet came to my mind.

“It’s like this.”

It wasn’t an experience he wanted to do twice, but there was a high probability that he would have to try the same thing in the future, so Abel wiped his face.

‘Let’s just check and rest.’

I just wanted to lie down and sleep.

However, I had to check how far the contents of the book lead.

Abel dug through the knowledge in his head and before long came to a conclusion.

“It’s not like it’s disconnected without context.”

The Optirum breathing method that Scarlett handed over was an independent breathing method in itself.

In other words, even if you learned this, there was no problem in building and using mana.

‘Perhaps the count didn’t even know that there was a next volume.’

It wasn’t that strange.

Optirum Breathing Formula 1 was rated B.

Compared to S, it looks much lower, but B grade was never a lower grade.

If the S-class was one-on-one on all continents, the B-class was a class that could lead to one-on-one on the scale of the kingdom.

Rather, it is more strange that the breathing method used by a marquess family in a kingdom is S-class.

‘Considering that, there’s a chance that it wasn’t an ordinary marquis family in the first place.’

Abel looked at the book again, determined to investigate the Optirum Marquis family later.

As a result of analyzing the knowledge that came into my head, Volume 1 had a strong feeling of laying the foundation.

“I don’t think I need Book 2 right now.”

I can’t be sure as I don’t have Book 2, but it seemed to Abel that he would be able to learn Book 2 only after he had mastered Book 1 perfectly.

In other words, there is no need to regret that there is no volume 2 right now.

‘I’ll have to take the time to look for Volume 2.’

After a brief conclusion, Abel closed the book and put it back on the desk.

Then I went straight to the bed and lay down.

I wanted to try breathing right away, but I couldn’t.

It was because the first chapter said to challenge yourself after taking enough rest.

‘now.’

Abel lay down on the bed and immediately went to sleep.

for tomorrow.

* * *

Early moning.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows.

The sunlight stretched out and hit Abel, who was sitting on the floor.

Even though his eyes would be dazzled, Abel did not even move and continued to breathe evenly.

long time to do that.

At one point, Abel’s eyes flashed open.

“Whoa.”

As if he had held his breath for a long time, Abel let out a long breath and turned his head slightly to look out the window.

‘Is it morning?’

After blinking a few times, Abel checked the time and murmured softly.

“Two hours have passed.”

Abel stretched and got up from his seat, loosening his rigid body.

I was sitting still for over two hours, so my body ached all over.

‘Well, it must be because it’s the first time.’

Abel, who woke up early in the morning, tried the breathing method right away.

At first, I had a little difficulty concentrating, but I quickly fell into it and breathed non-stop for two hours.

In fact, I could have done a few more hours if I hadn’t had a fixed schedule.

‘It’s more fun than I thought.’

The formally learned breathing method was different from what I vaguely thought.

The purpose of breathing is not to simply exhale and inhale as the name suggests, but to build up mana.

The point that Abel found interesting was that he could clearly feel the flow of mana flowing in and out.

When he inhaled, some mana flowed in, and when he exhaled again, more than half of it went out.

In the process, Abel realized why there are hundreds or thousands of breathing techniques in the world.

‘Certainly, the efficiency itself is different.’

The basic principle of all breathing techniques is the same.

breathing in and exhaling.

But after that, each breathing method is different.

Where do you direct the mana that comes in when you inhale? where do you build it? how do you hold it

All of those things were different for each breathing method.

This soon led to a difference in efficiency, and the difference was far greater than Abel had thought.

Assuming that the third-rate breathing methods he had obtained while wandering the streets before would only leave 3-5% of the mana that came in when he inhaled.

As for the Optirum breathing method, only 10% remained intact.

Moreover, this was also in the early stages, so the efficiency was still low.

“Therefore, there is bound to be a big difference between the children of the famous family and those who are not.”

At the beginning of the play, the difference can be reduced with effort or appropriate talent, but the gap will widen as time goes on.

Unless you really have tremendous talent, you have no choice but to be weeded out.

Even though this is the era of Gigant Riders, not knights, the importance of magic power is still there.

‘Well, it’s a good thing for me.’

Abel stopped thinking about going far and got dressed.

I had to do drills and lessons with the violin before going to class, so I couldn’t afford to be late.

After quickly getting ready, Abel went straight to the training ground.

after an hour and a half.

After Abel finished training and had dinner, he and Daniel headed straight to the playground where the lecture was being held.

“Abel, aren’t you nervous?”

“nervous?”

“huh. You said that from today you will be training in earnest.”

“Ah, that.”

At Daniel’s words, Abel remembered the story he heard in the last class.

Now that everyone has mastered the basic operation, they said they would start training in earnest.

Abel answered indifferently.

“Even if I say it’s serious, the first class is about running.”

“okay?”

“huh. At least after everyone is good at running, they’ll do combat training.”

“oh… … but. It seems so.”

Daniel nodded in admiration to see if Abel’s words were true.

It had to be.

Actually, the curriculum was conducted that way in the game.

‘The initial task is to master the controls through running and increase the operating time at the same time.’

There were a lot of cadets who couldn’t even maintain a gigant operation for less than 30 minutes after training for weeks.

Since it’s a special class, all of them are cadets who are among the top three in each class, so they went ahead and even had practical classes.

The general class will be told to just run for a while.

While talking about this and that, the two arrived in front of the playground.

“may!”

As soon as Daniel arrived, he waved his hand and called May.

May, who was dozing off in a corner, raised her head at Daniel’s booming voice and closed her eyes again.

Daniel was openly ignored, but he didn’t mind and ran over and started talking to May.

Abel seriously thought to himself that Daniel’s greatest weapon might not be his physical strength, but his snout.

Fortunately for May, Cowl, who was giving the lecture, arrived shortly thereafter.

“Are you all here!”

As soon as he arrived, Kaul shouted, drawing attention, and muttered as he looked over the cadets.

“… … Eight, nine, ten. good. It’s all here. Then let’s start the lecture right away. Do you all remember what I said last time?”

“yes-!”

“okay. You can’t eat it already. From today, we will conduct operational training in earnest. Maybe half of you will have to crawl after class.”

Kaul smiled broadly and casually said something heinous.

No wonder the faces of the cadets turned pale, knowing full well that he never slurred his words.

“ruler! Until Gigant arrives, everyone should be mentally prepared!”

Having said that, Kaul looked in the direction of the warehouse where Gigant was coming out.

In the previous class, the seniors and assistants took charge of the Gigant one by one, but this time it was being transported separately.

It was only natural that there were many personal gigs now.

Just like that, one after another, Gigant arrived and everyone was prepared according to the number of cadets.

“Then I’ll tell you about today’s training.”

Kaul said with a more sinister grin than before.

‘It’s like a gorilla conspiring.’

Abel thought that to himself and looked at Kaul.

“The first training exercise is running.”

Up to that point, it was as Abel already knew.

“But wouldn’t it be fun to just run blindly from the first day? huh?”

The cadets did not answer.

From Kaul’s point of view, it was because there was a high probability that what was fun was a day that was no different from a high school student to an ordinary cadet.

However, Kaul, who was already excited, continued to speak.

“So here’s my specially designed drill! Just grab the tail!”

“Taking the tail?”

A cadet impatiently asked at the unfamiliar word.

Then Kaul got even more excited and started explaining.

“The rules are simple. Three start with tails. And the other seven will steal the tails of the three. how is it? Sounds like fun already, doesn’t it?”

Again, no answer came back. Then Kaul grinned and spoke words of conversion.

“Of course, there is a reward this time too. At the end, the three with tails will teach me a specially designed taijutsu. how is it?”

It was an ambitious word, but the reaction was so-so. Until the next word follows.

“And that taijutsu takes place during physical training sessions. In other words, physical training is exempted while learning taijutsu!”

the moment the story is over.

A spark burned in every cadet’s eyes.

[The quest ‘Disciple of Cowl’ is in progress.]

[Captivate Kaul’s heart with your overwhelming skills!]

[A level A or higher martial arts skill is given as a reward.]

And it was the same with Abel.
