I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

chapter 40



After 12 hours of driving, we arrived at a camp prepared for this outdoor practice.

The cadets who got off the car immediately gathered in the center of the camp and listened to an explanation from Fleta, the general instructor of this practice.

“This is inside the border, as everyone knows, but it is an extremely dangerous place. There are no small towns, let alone cities.”

Fleta was a woman with scars all over her face and light gray hair.

Like all other teachers and instructors, she was also a participant in the last great war.

Maybe that’s why Fleta’s voice had the magic to attract people’s attention.

“So, don’t think about doing anything stupid in the middle of the night and go to bed early. Departure is early tomorrow morning.”

Fleta finished her explanation with a brief warning and stepped back.

After that, teachers and instructors walked around and guided us to the building where we would spend the night.

The building we were guided to was embarrassing to compare to the academy’s dormitory, but at least there was no problem sleeping overnight.

“It’s been a while since so many people slept together.”

After the instructor stepped back, Daniel spoke up.

Abel nodded.

Only the boys in the class shared the same room.

“You’d better go to bed early today.”

“huh? Did you sleep all the time in the car?”

At Daniel’s question, Abel thought for a moment and then said,

“Come to think of it, you don’t really care.”

Anyone else would know, but Daniel was the owner of stamina who could stay up all night without any problems.

Abel told her to take care of herself, then sat upright on the bed. I was thinking of not going to sleep.

Fleta said practice would start early tomorrow morning, but Abel knew the truth.

‘About 4 hours or so.’

Practice begins early in the morning. It is also early in the morning, not long past midnight.

Abel expected it to be around 2:00.

So 4 hours left was right.

At that level, it was better to meditate than to make my body dull by sleeping for nothing.

It’s the worst if you fall asleep late after being excited like the other cadets.

‘Even though it was a plan that was expected from the beginning.’

Outdoor practice for the first time.

The cadets, who fell asleep late with tension and excitement, would be confused by the practice that suddenly started early in the morning.

Evaluation begins right there.

It is to see how you respond in an embarrassing situation and score it.

In that sense, Abel was already at a starting line different from others.

“Whoa.”

Abel took a long breath and began to meditate slowly.

It was not to meditate as deeply as in the car, but to pass the time while maintaining physical condition.

I heard the cadets living in the same dorm talking with one ear and let it go.

Time continued to pass.

The house became deserted after a while. everyone is asleep

It was quiet, but not peaceful.

Rather, it should be called the night before the storm.

Abel felt a sharp feeling of uneasiness pierce his body. And when that feeling is at its peak.

Wow-!

A loud noise penetrated my ears.

Upon hearing that sound, Abel opened his eyes.

“eww… … .”

“what… … .”

There were screams of pain everywhere.

A few quick-witted people opened their eyes and looked like they were trying to figure out the situation, but their eyes were still full of drowsiness.

On the other hand, Abel, as if he had been waiting, packed up his belongings and went outside.

The sound that still resonates loudly was one of the things I learned during the lecture.

The meaning was simple.

An enemy invasion is expected, so assemble immediately.

You will have to find the location of the gathering yourself. Generally, it is displayed in a way that is immediately noticeable.

Like a red lantern shining on one side there.

Abel headed there without hesitation, and soon arrived at a fairly large clearing.

“Abel!”

Upon arriving at the clearing, it was Kaul’s loud voice that greeted him.

Kaul looked at Abel and smiled.

“You arrived first. excellent.”

“thank you.”

Abel gave a simple thank you and stood in front of him.

Kaul asked him.

“Did you guess?”

It was a bottomless question, but Abel answered it without difficulty.

“We were considering several possibilities.”

“Possibility?”

“yes. What the instructor said was also a hint. He said he wouldn’t have time to rest after arriving, but as soon as he arrived, he was guided to the accommodation and told to rest well.”

“Hoo.”

Kaul nodded with an amused expression.

“Is that why you thought it wouldn’t just pass normally?”

“yes. Considering the dangers of field practice, I also thought it would give me a sense of awareness before I started properly.”

“I saw right through.”

Kaul, who had spoken up to that point, was about to say something more, but shut up when he saw the cadets running into the clearing belatedly.

Abel also slightly turned his head to look at the people running.

There were quite a few familiar people among them.

violin. henna. Daniel. rian et al. They were cadets belonging to the same special class.

Of course, there were also invisible members of the special class.

There were other cadets who arrived at about the same time as them.

What was surprising was that May arrived quite early.

‘No, was it just forced out?’

Looking closely, Mei was being dragged half way by her classmate, Darin.

After that, other cadets arrived at the clearing one after another.

Daniel naturally came to the seat next to Abel and said a word.

“I fell asleep.”

Abel laughed at that.

I had just seen Daniel fall asleep sitting up and startled when he went outside.

“Now, pay attention!”

Abel was about to say something, but before that, Fleta, who was standing at the front, drew attention with a loud voice.

“I see the cadets still coming. Come and listen.”

Fleta continued speaking in a cold voice.

“This is outside. Outside, there are no academy walls or empire walls. The moment you arrive, practice has already begun.”

The voice instantly drew the cadets’ attention.

“Even if it is not necessarily practice, you should not be vigilant for a single moment outside. Look at the cadets now.”

she said.

“If this was a real battle, at least half of them would have died. In practice, there are no loud beeps or friendly lights.”

It was a natural story.

If you make a loud noise or flash a light when the monsters are approaching, it will rather attract more attention.

“There will be people who think it is unfair to hear the story. I told you to take a good rest, and suddenly you are making such bitter noises.”

Contrary to what she said, her tone was still hard and cold.

“Let those people reflect. With a rotten mind like that, you won’t be able to become a Gigant Rider.”

The students’ expressions hardened even more at the sharp vitriol.

But Fleta didn’t care and continued talking.

“Then, let’s end the verbal education here. The purpose of this practice is to learn in the same situation as in real combat.”

Having said that, Fleta looked at the other person and stepped back.

It was none other than Kaul who stepped forward.

he said in a booming voice.

“Everybody get in the car right away! Practice begins!”

This time, the faces of the cadets were stained with bewilderment.

However, instead of reversing his words, Kaul pointed to one side with a firm hand gesture.

“run!”

Abel immediately, without hesitation, ran towards the direction Kaul pointed at.

It wasn’t long before I saw mana cars lined up on that side.

Each class clearly marked where to board, so Abel got on without hesitation.

After that, the cadets from the same class got on.

It took about 5 minutes at most to get there.

The car door closed by itself and a heavy silence lingered in the car.

“where… … Are you going?”

Not long after, one of the students opened his mouth. It was a cadet named Kylen.

“well. Since you said you were going to start practicing right away, why not go to the place where Gigant is located?”

Another cadet answered.

It was a reasonable inference.

It was said that the period to be used for practice was moved to the practice place in advance, but there was no period for practice at all at the camp.

“Is that right?”

“It seems so. How will the practice go?”

Once the water was opened, the cadets each said a word.

Rather than wanting to say something, it was to allay fear and tension.

Abel, on the other hand, waited quietly, uninterrupted in the conversation.

Because now was not the time for idle chatter.

They might think of getting on a Gigant and fighting like a real battle, but Del Modor Academy is not such an easy place.

In fact, as Fleta said, practice has already begun.

Recalling that, Abel hugged Jim tightly.

And what Abel expected happened less than 20 minutes after departure.

aaang-!

A deafening blast.

At the same time, the car rocked violently.

The cadets, who had been conversing for a while, froze at the unexpected noise and shock.

“Everyone down! The car is broken! I have to move!”

At that time, the voice of the driver who was driving the car was heard.

Most of the cadets were flustered when they heard that, unable to grasp the situation properly, but there were also some who did not.

First of all, Qalian, who was sitting closest to the door, shouted while blocking the cadets from opening the door.

“for a moment! It could be a trap!”

“trap?”

“okay! You heard the explanation at first. The safest thing in case of danger is inside this car. I told you to hold on inside until clear instructions were given!”

It was as it was said.

This manaed vehicle prepared for cadets was not moderately robust, but had a high level of protection.

To the extent that it can be used as a temporary defense wall in case of emergency.

That’s why, when attacked, I was taught to assess the situation from the inside and then take action rather than rushing down.

“Ha, but the driver told me to get off!”

“that’s right!”

However, the students, whose hair turned white due to an unexpected incident, tried to open the door with a fight.

Then, Abel opened his mouth.

“Callian is right.”

“what?”

“Before that, let’s point out one thing. Has anyone here heard the driver’s voice?”

Everyone was dumbfounded by Abel’s sudden question.

It had to be.

Because no one has heard of it.

Before that, the driver of the manaed car hadn’t said a word during the 12-hour drive.

At that time, I just thought it was reticent and passed it on, but now that I am in this situation, I have other thoughts.

“In the first place, the cry itself could be a trick. you all know That the driver’s seat has relatively poor protection.”

Unlike the rear, the driver’s side had to have a clear view, so the protection ability was considerably reduced.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that the enemy will pretend to be a knight and try to lure the cadets inside.

“then… … .”

“What should I do… … the poor?”

At Abel’s words, the students muttered blankly, not knowing what to do.

Even the better ones just looked around with a cautious expression and did not come up with any solutions.

Abel, who was watching them, added one more word.

“The rule is to stand by with a combat readiness.”

It was just a matter of principle.

The reason for not suggesting another solution was simple.

Because I didn’t have to do anything else.

‘I just have to wait.’

It wasn’t necessarily because I knew the contents of the game, but if I thought about it calmly, I was able to recall it enough.

There were too many strange things to be an enemy attack.

Kik-.

Abel hadn’t even thought about that for less than a minute when the back door of the car opened.

Not only Qalian, who was blocking the door, but also the students around him quickly retreated.

Although he had no weapons, he was determined to fight even with his bare hands.

But that vicious spirit quickly disappeared.

It was because the person who appeared through the open door was none other than Kaul.

He looked at the cadets and said in a bright voice.

“It is a calm response. Class A is all pass.”

Question marks appeared on the cadets’ faces.
