I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

The cadets all got on Gigant under the guidance of Kaul and assistants.

In the first class, there were a lot of people who couldn’t even operate it properly, but now everyone is able to operate it with ease.

coo-!

“good! It’s over!”

After everyone, including the last cadet, finished the operation and stood on their own two feet, Kaul opened his mouth.

“Abel! Turn your back!”

At those words, Abel skilfully maneuvered the aircraft and turned backwards.

Kaul pointed to Abel’s body and said.

“The blue plate over there is the tail!”

There was something like a blue metal plate attached to the back of Abel’s aircraft, Lupus.

It wasn’t really a simple metal plate, but rather an artifact, specially developed for training purposes.

“If you put your hand over there, it will automatically be transferred to your own machine! If you have it when the time is up, you win!”

As Kaul said, it was an artifact that could be transferred to one’s machine simply by touching it.

It’s not just used for tail catching, it’s used for similar types of training.

“The ones with tails are Abel, Daniel and May! There are three of them! The three of you, move to the location you marked beforehand!”

-yes!

Abel saw a location marked on the floor not far away and walked towards it.

Conversely, the other seven people retreated all the way to the back.

Kaul followed up with a few rules, then a final caution.

“Oh, and if you reach the barrier, you will be eliminated! Try not to move to the outskirts as much as possible!”

-All right!

Hearing everyone answer in unison, Kaul moved to the safe area with the other instructors.

And after a while, he cried out in a loud voice.

“start-!”

aaang-!

A roar rang out at the same time as the start signal.

Three of the seven people started running forward at the same time.

Among them, the one that stood out the most was the aircraft with the red sun pattern engraved on it, piloted by a boy named Qalian.

– Spread to both sides and at the same time!

As if having planned it in advance, Qalian gave orders to the other two in a shrill voice.

Then, the two running on either side of Qalian spread to the left and right respectively.

Even though I wouldn’t have been able to breathe properly, a pretty elaborate gin was completed.

‘Not bad.’

Abel looked at it and thought. Qalian had his own skills.

In terms of overall skills, there was no big difference from Daniel, and I know that he actually fell behind the special class by a single point.

‘The two on either side will be at the mid-level level.’

In many ways, it was a good look for being rushed.

But if it was threatening, that wasn’t it either.

If it was like that in the first place, I wouldn’t have had time to think about them so leisurely.

thud!

Abel waited until they got close and then abruptly threw himself forward to the right.

– Ugh?

The opponent flinched as if he hadn’t thought that he would fight back, then swung his fist a beat later.

Whoa!

However, the fist grazed the air in vain.

It was a natural result.

Because there was a big difference in level.

In general, it’s easy to feel threatened when the three of you suddenly run into each other.

Qalian must have been aiming for that too.

However, Abel casually attacked the weakest side and broke through the encirclement in an instant.

cooong!

thud!

Subsequently, Mei took advantage of the opportunity to draw attention to Abel and easily escaped the encirclement.

The last one left was Daniel.

Abel looked at Daniel standing upright and turned his head.

‘Everyone seems to be moving slowly.’

It wasn’t just the three people in front that were aiming for the tail, there were four more people.

At that time, there was a cadet who took advantage of the gap when all attention was focused on the one who ran ahead.

The problem was that the opponent was Abel.

thud!

Abel threw himself to the side, making a loud noise on purpose.

The opponent belatedly stretched out his arm, but it only cut through empty space.

– Chet!

A clicking sound was heard.

Abel laughed when he heard that.

Seeing such reactions, it was clear that he still thought there was a possibility.

Abel was determined to shatter that idea thoroughly.

Because what he wanted was not simply a slightly better level, but a unique position.

– Attack at once!

Someone rushed at Abel with a loud cry.

As if in response, two other people ran towards Abel.

From the very beginning, as if referring to what had happened earlier, her arms were wide open.

‘I’m thinking of trying to catch me first.’

Thanks to Daniel and May, they were keeping their tail relatively leisurely.

Even when Abel knew about it, he did not feel guilty about it, but rather gladly accepted it.

There was no reason to dislike it when they created a stage to show off their skills on their own.

Taat!

Abel was the first to jump high.

Then, those who had rushed at him as if to surround him raised their hands at the same time as if they were trying to weave.

If you looked into their heads, they probably thought that this was an opportunity.

It’s much more difficult to dodge in midair.

But that’s just a general story.

Pew-!

With the sound of air exploding, Abel’s body was pushed out of the air.

If he used the Blessing of Wind, he could hide in the air as much as he could.

Of course, that wasn’t the end.

The cadets relentlessly aimed at Abel, and Abel evaded each time in a different way.

He used the Sage’s Crown to get out of the siege of the four as it was, and he also used the Shadow Staff to break the siege.

In a situation where many people clung to one person, the situation would change as time passed, but in reality this was not the case.

– Heck, heo-eok.

-Huh… … .

While the other cadets were so exhausted that they gasped to the point of sounding out of Gigant.

-Everyone’s level is too low.

“Well, that level isn’t that bad.”

Abel was leisurely conversing with Lupus.

As the situation progressed, the other cadets gradually began to have doubts about attacking Abel.

It was understandable since I couldn’t even touch the aircraft for nearly 10 minutes.

They soon turned their backs on Abel and started heading towards Daniel and May, as if they had reached an agreement.

“Looks like you finally gave up.”

-I guess so.

Abel crossed his arms and watched the situation go back together with Lupus.

Daniel and May, who were relatively leisurely guarding their tails, showed a little bit of a push when other cadets joined.

Among the dogs, the one who seemed more troubled was Daniel.

On the other hand, Mei is naturally agile and has a good fighting sense, so she doesn’t create situations where she is surrounded.

In the case of Daniel, except for his stamina, he wasn’t particularly outstanding.

Maybe that’s why, when several people built a siege and narrowed it down, they began openly engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

Kwaaang-!

bang!

A roar erupted in succession.

“Hmm.”

As I continued to watch, there was a cadet that stood out.

It was Qalian who ran towards Abel in the first place.

‘He came from a family of knights with red hair.’

Abel reviewed Qalian’s information.

The reason I remember him is because he wasn’t completely absent from the game.

I couldn’t fit in the main cast, but I had a certain weight among the extras.

‘My spearmanship skills are pretty good, but my personality is impatient, so I can’t fully demonstrate my skills. They are still immature in Gigant management.’

It seems that there are more disadvantages than advantages, but in reality, she was much better than the other cadets.

From Abel’s point of view, if only the Gigant management part got better, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the cadets of the special class.

– Strategy failure.

At that time, Lupus said a word.

Abel asked him.

“strategy?”

-okay. There doesn’t seem to be anything special about Daniel over there other than his stamina, but now is when that stamina shines the brightest.

“Well, yes.”

More than 10 minutes had passed since the tail-catching had already begun.

And most of the cadets wasted nearly 10 minutes trying to catch Abel somehow.

In other words, it means that the physical strength has fallen as soon as it has fallen.

“As for that guy’s stamina, there must be no difference between the first time and now.”

– That’s how I see it too.

Daniel must have moved quite hard, but his body movements were not much different from the first time.

Given his monstrous stamina, it was only natural.

It is physical strength and mental strength that are deeply involved in Gigant’s operation time.

However, in those two respects, Daniel was so unique that he had almost no opponents during the first year.

On the other hand, the situation would have been different if he had focused on Daniel from the beginning because he wasn’t that good at martial arts or Gigant management.

As Lupus said, the strategy was a failure.

– It must have been a loss from not recognizing the level difference with the owner right away in the first place. everyone is uncomfortable

Abel laughed at that.

In Lupus’ eyes, Abel would barely pass the pass mark, so it was only natural that the evaluation of others was harsh.

In that way, the situation seemed to flow smoothly towards those who originally had tails winning.

And when the promised time has passed.

“Now, stop!”

Kaul shouted in a shrill voice.

Those who were attacking Daniel, who squeezed their strength to the end, stopped.

Cowl continued to speak while wearing a voice amplification artifact.

“Everyone suffered. As I said before, I will give a reward to the three who succeed in protecting their tail until the end.”

Abel nodded in satisfaction while feeling puzzled.

Unlike usual, the quest completion window did not immediately appear.

Meanwhile, Kaul continued talking.

“The seven of us should go to the outskirts first!”

Abel realized that Kaul had other ideas.

As expected, Kaul grinned and spoke loudly.

“And the other three! I will give you two options!”

-What is?

Sincere Daniel answered Kaul’s question with a question.

At that, Kaul spread a finger and said.

“First of all. Get the reward I mentioned at the beginning and take a break. A very simple choice.”

Kaul then extended a second finger.

“The second is to catch the tail one more time and get a better reward! It doesn’t matter which option you choose, so pick the one you like!”

– If it’s tail grabbing, do you do the same thing?

This time Abel asked a question.

No matter how you look at it, it seemed like there was a plan.

Kaul responded simply.

“Of course not! This time, instead of starting with your tail, you guys will end up stealing it!”

-From whom?

Abel kept asking questions, while Kaul muttered in a low voice.

“This is why I don’t like quick-witted cadets… … .”

Of course, Abel didn’t hear that and asked back.

-yes?

“It is nothing. This time, the one who takes on the role of the tail is your senior. You helped me once before.”

At those words, Abel immediately thought of ‘Claire’. Then, as Abel had expected, Claire, who had been waiting for Kaul’s beckoning, walked over.

‘Wouldn’t you like to give me a reward?’

Abel saw it and thought to himself.

Claire is not an ordinary senior, but a genius who can be counted among the 3rd years.

The last time she was caught off guard and only needed one move to make it work, but tailing was a whole other realm.

As can be seen from Abel playing with seven cadets earlier, it is a way in which the difference in skill is clearly revealed.

Of course, Abel’s answer was fixed from the beginning.

-I’ll do it.

The harder the challenge.

The reward when you succeed will be sweet.
