I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

The giant, standing proudly on the ground, slowly lowered his body and lay down as before.

Chi-Ik-!

The cockpit opened, revealing Abel.

His entire body was flushed red and his clothes were completely drenched in sweat, but a bright smile hung on his face.

“after!”

Abel took a deep breath and exhaled.

The pleasure he felt when the giant stood upright on the ground was of the kind he had never experienced before.

I’m sorry for Levitt, but it was literally on a different level.

It feels like the whole world is under your feet.

A feeling of almighty power flowing through the body.

‘I think I’m going to get addicted.’

With that thought in mind, Abel tried to get out of the cockpit.

At that time, a knight waiting on one side hurriedly jumped up and helped him get off.

“God, suffered. really… … .”

The knight’s face was stained with astonishment.

The voice he gave to the boy who was much smaller than himself was trembling.

It was because the scene just before was very shocking.

“thank you.”

Abel bowed his head and returned to his original position.

As I passed, I glanced over and saw that Scarlett’s eyes were shining more sharply than when I first saw them.

Even to Scarlett, who possesses monstrous talent, Abel’s appearance must have been extremely surprising.

“Bar, did that just make sense?”

Also, the knights who were watching from afar were talking about what they had just seen.

“Does it make sense? can you make sense? Didn’t you say that all the kids here today are from orphans and have never been close to Miles?”

“yes! So that’s nonsense!”

If Abel had heard it, he would have said it with a smile.

I’m confident that I’ll show you more later.

While everyone couldn’t recover easily from the shock, a boy came forward and said.

“I want to try it this time!”

Brown hair and slanted eyes.

Overall, he was a boy with a strong impression.

Abel looked at him.

He was the only boy in the crowd whose name he knew.

It was because that boy was chosen by Scarlett in the original game and entered the academy.

The boy’s name is Jet.

‘His talent was decent, but he had a bad temper and was kicked out in the middle because he had an accident.’

In other words, it could be said to be a third-class villain.

At the beginning of the play, he played a role of blocking the player for a while, and then was quickly kicked out of the role.

The jet whimpered and climbed into the cockpit, followed by a groan and a strong vibration.

“Hmm.”

The knights who were talking about Abel looked at him again with a mixture of interest and anticipation.

It was obvious that everyone was thinking, ‘Is that child too?’

The start-up sound did not stop immediately, but continued for several seconds.

The expectations of those who watched were also rising.

But it was only a matter of time before that anticipation turned to disappointment.

Woo woo woo-.

The start sound that lasted for about 10 seconds suddenly stopped, and Miles, who had been flinching, slumped on the floor again.

The driver watched for a moment, then ran to the cockpit, and soon the door opened and an exhausted Jet walked out.

His entire body was drenched in sweat, and he looked weak as if he was about to fall.

Jet continued to walk to one side, supported by the knight.

That was it.

“next.”

As soon as the engineer laid Jet down and returned, he said as if nothing had happened.

The remaining candidates also got on Miles one after another. However, they fell short of Jet, let alone Abel.

That’s right-.

It seemed to maneuver and then stretched out right away was the best case, and the rest failed to even maneuver at all.

‘Jet deserved to be pulled.’

Compared to other candidates, the jet that lasted for even 10 seconds was truly outstanding.

Except for Abel, of course.

Even if you have talent, you will only fall into a criminal in front of overwhelming talent. like the current situation.

When the boy on Miles was dragged out limp for the last time.

Scarlett, who was watching from afar, walked over and opened her mouth.

“It’s over.”

Scarlett’s cold voice strained the half-stretched boys again.

“Looked good. If you follow them, you will receive a small reward.”

At the place Scarlett pointed out, the attendants who had guided the boys in the first place were standing.

Scarlett then looked at Abel and said.

“Abel. you follow me.”

“All right.”

It was an announcement that the test was over.

The other children seemed not too surprised.

Abel’s appearance was truly overwhelming.

At least, only Jet lowered his head with a look of resentment.

However, that feeling did not reach Abel.

Abel’s attention was focused solely on the message in the air.

[Completed the quest of the first class]

[Demitri’s flame is given!]

[Continued to the Quest for the first class (2)]

[I twisted the flow of the story!]

[You will receive magic seconds!]

Scarlett turned and walked as if she had finished her words, and Abel followed suit.

The remaining boys stared blankly at the back, then walked in the other direction guided by the attendant.

to return to where they were.

Its appearance was truly contrasting.

* * *

From taking the test upon arrival and announcing the results right there.

It was a high-speed development that seemed to show Scarlett’s temper.

According to the setting, Scarlett has no pretensions and dislikes cumbersome procedures. There is also a fairly impatient personality.

It was like that just because he brought Abel right away.

‘The office is also very tidy.’

Abel thought as he looked inside the office that Scarlett had arrived at.

For the office of the head of the prestigious Count Klein family, the place was tidy enough to feel desolate.

A desk, chair, and a few bookshelves were all the furniture.

Rather, the hallway I saw on the way to here felt even more splendid.

“hmm.”

While Abel was looking around, Scarlett, who had been sitting at the desk looking at the papers, opened her mouth slowly.

“Abel. between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. He has no parents and his birthplace is unknown. Am I right?”

“you’re right.”

“You learned your job at the Vulcanus Workshop from a year ago, and started to make your name known in earnest at the Red Bear Arena six months ago. and… … Is it true that you made that machine yourself?”

“The skeleton was made with the help of Vulcanus, and the rest was just assembled using discarded parts.”

“Interesting.”

Scarlett smiled at Abel’s answer.

In fact, it would be interesting to hear the story of how he made his own Gigant at a young age and became a champion in an underground arena.

No, it’s not strange to be surprised normally.

However, considering Scarlett’s life journey, that kind of reaction was appropriate.

Isn’t he the one who raised a half-fallen family with his own skills alone?

Tak, Tak-.

Scarlett asked Abel a few more questions, then put the papers in her hands aside.

Then, red eyes looked straight at Abel.

“Is this really the first time you’ve manipulated Miles?”

“yes.”

Scarlett stared intently through Abel’s pupils, as if trying to discern truth from lies.

But Abel didn’t care and continued to speak calmly.

“I learned a lot from Vulcanus, but he never invited a guy like me to ride that precious Miles. It’s something that costs hundreds of times my ransom.”

“Hmm.”

In response, Scarlett stroked her chin and opened her mouth.

“When you speak from now on, be careful with your words and actions.”

“sorry.”

“Even easily apologizing doesn’t suit you in the future.”

Scarlett said to Abel who raised her head.

“Because when you enter the academy, there will be a lot of people who will criticize your words and behavior.”

A mischievous smile formed on Scarlett’s lips before she knew it.

“For the next week, let’s do etiquette training at the same time. Got it?”

“… … yes. thank you.”

Abel bowed his head in genuine relief.

‘The first hurdle passed.’

Of course, I thought that if my eyes were running properly, I would pick myself up, but it was also true that I was anxious to call him into the office and ask about the past.

However, the moment she faced Scarlett’s mischievous smile, that anxiety disappeared like snow.

Scarlett opened her mouth with a smile at Abel’s reaction.

“The biggest reason I chose you is, of course, your talent. To be honest, I was surprised.”

This was another unexpected compliment.

Scarlett’s expression of ‘surprising’ was nothing short of praise.

It is because he is the owner of a great talent enough to be regarded as the best of all time.

Even in the game, it was common for Scarlett to say ‘not bad’ what other people would do.

Scarlett tapped the desk with her fingers and continued talking.

“Check this first.”

Scarlett pushed a piece of paper towards Abel.

Abel carefully picked up the paper and checked its contents.

[Del Modor Academy]

Del Modor.

As an archaic word from the days when the empire was a kingdom in the past, it means ‘tough warrior’.

It used to be the name given to an academy that trained knights.

His personality has changed a bit, but his name has remained the same.

Those who are appointed as ‘Gigant Riders’ are also strong warriors.

‘at las.’

The Del Modor Academy was the main setting for this game.

Even before the quest was given, Abel was somehow looking for a way to get there.

However, it was not easy for Abel, who was a veteran of the game.

It was common for other academies to select talent only, but Del Modor was special.

So Abel waited for Scarlett.

May she come to choose herself.

Scarlett pointed to the paper and said.

“You will enter here. Of course, I will take the test, but I don’t think it will be such a big problem if the people in charge aren’t wrong.”

I looked at it to see what it meant, and Scarlett pointed at Abel and said.

“I don’t think you will fall.”

“thank you.”

“But I’ll be a little sad when I finish talking like that. I promise you one thing to motivate you.”

Scarlett leaned forward slightly and spoke.

“If you finish in third place, I promise you a special reward.

Abel’s eyes twinkled at Scarlett’s words.

Rather than worrying about being able to enter the school, the anticipation of the special reward was greater.

“I look forward to it.”

The smile on Scarlett’s mouth grew even thicker at that honest answer.

“Originally, you should pay attention to your words and actions, but I don’t hate that kind of confidence.”

Scarlett said that, then looked at Abel and continued.

“Instead, show results that will prove that confidence.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“okay. For the time being, I won’t see you often because I’m busy with work. Let’s have our next conversation this time next week. You can prepare for the exam while staying in the family. Do you have any plans to do something different?”

“yes.”

I don’t have the space to do it, and I don’t intend to.

There is no better place to prepare for exams than here.

“There will be someone waiting for you when you go outside.”

“All right. Then I will leave.”

Abel bowed to Scarlett, then turned and walked to open the door.

As I closed the door, a lady-in-waiting nearby came over and bowed her head.

“hello. This is Marigold, who will serve Abel-sama from now on.”

“i look forward to.”

Abel politely bowed his head and replied.

The lady-in-waiting was taken aback for a moment, then bowed her head once again and guided him around the mansion.

The mansion was quite large, so a lot of time passed just by simply looking around.

And for the first time since Abel came to this world, he was able to enjoy a luxurious meal and rest.

* * *

The week went by faster than expected.

In the meantime, Abel was able to feel what a schedule that even two bodies would not be enough for.

It was because I had to learn the basics of words and attitudes as a pre-academy cadet, what to do and what not to do.

It included very basic things like how to walk and table manners.

In fact, rather than education, it was a time when an ordinary street boy named Abel was transformed into an aristocrat.

‘It’s not like you’re going to be a real noble, but most of the people you’ll be dealing with will be nobles… … .’

It was difficult, but it was something I had to do.

Even if you are confident in your skills, there is no reason to be deducted for external factors.

It is a process that must be passed in order to be incorporated into the mainstream of this world.

Even now, Abel was walking around the room looking in the mirror. It was to correct how to walk.

“Hmm.”

Abel practiced for a long time before walking up to the mirror and standing.

The reflection of Abel there was markedly different from a week ago.

Neatly combed black hair and much cleaner skin. And custom-made clothes specially made for Abel.

Looking at his appearance, he looked like a nobleman born and raised in an aristocratic or wealthy merchant family.

Abel examined my face and how I was dressed, then carefully took out the necklace I had tucked inside.

‘The flame of Demitri.’

It was an item obtained as a quest reward.

It wasn’t that it suddenly jumped out of thin air, it was something that Scarlett gave to Abel at the request of an attendant.

It was a necklace worn by Jet in the original game, but its performance was very simple.

‘It creates a shield of flame that protects the wearer.’

You may ask why it is necessary to ride Gigant, but that is a word that you know one thing and do not know the other two.

Unlike the midget-class, high-grade Gigant had several protection devices, but it wasn’t all-round.

Unlike the metal giant, Gigant, the human body is not that strong.

‘It’s not uncommon for riders to pass out from shock even though Gigant is fine.’

This necklace was an item that partially solved the body’s lack of defense.

Since most of the game items are related to Gigant, items that can be applied to this body were very rare.

Scarlett gave this as a reward after solving the quest related to Jet, so Abel used it in the game.

And thanks to that, I also knew the hidden ability of the necklace.

Abel checked the back of the necklace.

‘Here I am.’

There was an empty hole there.

It is unknown what was originally there, but the important thing was that the necklace could be strengthened by inserting other materials there.

Of course, Abel knew very well where to get the materials to enhance them.

Examining the necklace, Abel smiled and put it back on his neck.

This necklace wasn’t the only thing Scarlett gave her, but it was no longer in this world.

Because it went into Abel’s belly.

‘I never thought I’d get the Magic Herb from the beginning.’

Magic Herb is an elixir that increases the amount of mana.

It was also an essential item for Abel, who had just begun to feel mana and whose mana was close to zero.

[Abel]

[Type: Human]

[Physical Rating: E]

[Tune rate: S]

[mana: E]

[Retention period: None]

[Skills: Beginner Gigant Production, Intermediate Gigant Repair, Mana Sensitivity]

Thanks to taking the magical herb, his magical power went up from F to E grade in just a week.

‘If I do well, I’ll be able to quickly raise it to the D grade.’

Abel closed the status window with a happy expression.

I could have watched it proudly all day, but it was because the time had come.

There was no annoying etiquette training today. Because it is ‘that day’.

smart-.

When I looked in the mirror and arranged my clothes to look good. At just the right time, someone knocked on the door.

“yes.”

“Bocchan, the time has come.”

It was the voice of the handmaid Marigold.

Abel walked right over to it and opened the door. Then, Marigold, who was standing outside, immediately bowed her head, and Abel smiled and said,

“Let’s go.”

“yes.”

Today was the week that Scarlett had said.

Normally, he would have to go to the office to see Scarlett, but Marigold led Abel down the stairs instead of up.

Eventually, following Marigold, they arrived at the front door of the mansion.

There stood a larger wagon than the one I had seen before, with a family flag hanging on one side.

Scarlett was standing right in front of the wagon.

“You’re here.”

“yes.”

“Today I will go to the Del Modor Academy. Do you have any questions?”

“Are you taking an exam today?”

“no. I am on my way to register for admission, and the exam is in a month. So, when I come back after registering today, I will start training in earnest.”

“All right.”

Abel was supposed to register for admission by submitting Scarlett’s letter of recommendation.

It was Scarlett’s kindness to lend her a carriage with the family flag on it for such an occasion.

“Ride. An escort driver will go with you.”

Scarlett looked to one side and called the name of the knight who would accompany Abel.

“Diron.

“yes.”

A knight waiting on one side approached and took a bow.

It was the blunt knight who had come to pick up Abel the other day.

“Come on.”

His voice was very polite. It wasn’t just the way he spoke, but his attitude was extremely polite.

It was a world of difference from what he had initially shown. At that time, he was only one of the candidates, but it must have been because he was a regular guest of the family now.

“yes. thank you.”

Abel answered politely and got into the carriage.

Today I was just going to register, but my heart raced.

The Academy is the main stage for this game. Most of the story unfolds there.

That’s why a lot of things were prepared for the growth of players in the academy.

‘Hidden Peace is well hidden.’

Of course, Abel knew that all too well.

‘What I have to get is fixed.’

Abel sat upright in the carriage, his eyes twinkling.

It was a look full of anticipation.
