I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

When the distance between Gigant and Ironwolf narrowed to some extent.

“Auuu-!”

With a cry, the four iron wolves, two by two, ran left and right.

The rest of them ran forward, but Abel was more wary of the Ironwolves taking a detour than the group in the middle.

So Abel quickly changed his formation.

“I’m on the left, May is on the right! Keep your eyes peeled for the detours!”

Although they had changed positions, the cadets were still forming in a diamond shape.

Qalian in the foremost. Abel on the left. Mei on the right. Daniel in the back. In the middle is Darin.

Considering that the sum was hardly matched, the formation was made as simple as possible.

percussion-!

As Qalian settled down, two Ironwolves from the middle pack jumped high.

Seeing that, Qalian was not taken aback and swung the spear with both hands.

Caang! Kang!

The two Ironwolves, who jumped high, were hit by spears one after another and flew to the side.

But in the meantime, the other Ironwolves weren’t playing either.

In an instant, four of them rushed at the bottom and sides of Qalian.

Then, Darin stepped out.

Whiik!

Like Daniel, Darin used a spear and shield as his main weapons, but now he put down his shield and quickly stabbed the spear with both hands.

Knock!

“Keeng!”

Ironwolf, who was about to break into the left side first, was stabbed in the neck by a spear, and then retreated as if on fire.

Instead of attacking the Iron Wolf again, Darin immediately followed and aimed at the other Iron Wolf’s leg.

Taat-!

The Iron Wolf, halfway through the gap between Qalian and Mei, jumped up to avoid the spear.

And May didn’t miss that moment.

Kwajik!

As Iron Wolf jumped up, Mei thrust two swords into his head.

Ironwolf, whose head was pierced, was unable to even scream and died.

In the midst of such a one-sided atmosphere.

Whiik!

An Iron Wolf crouched down, then attacked Qalian’s knee with lightning-like speed.

It was an ability that made me wonder if it was a special species that realized its unique ability.

-Kuh!

Qalian hurriedly tried to swing his spear, but it was already too late.

But there was someone who responded in time.

-backwards!

Just as Abel had been waiting for, he extended his sword diagonally.

Iron Wolf couldn’t turn his body in time at that exquisite timing.

Kwajik!

As a result, the sword went straight into Iron Wolf’s mouth and pierced his neck.

Qalian, who was not harmed thanks to this, said to Abel.

“Sheesh… … . thanks.”

“Thank you, what?”

Abel smiled at Qalian’s first thank you and looked ahead.

If there were only six Ironwolves right in front of them, they would have entered a lull for a while.

But the reality was not like that.

– Coming again!

Tadak-.

While the six in front noisily drew their attention, the guys who had jumped out of the group earlier were approaching with a kill.

Abel did not take his eyes off the Ironwolves while helping Qalian.

The scary thing about Ironwolf is twofold.

One is that it is an unusual group life and a species that fights battles based on it.

And the other was that the entire species was born with special abilities by default, apart from the inherent abilities.

It is an ability often referred to as stealth or ‘assimilation’.

Sussuk-.

Abel’s eyes moved quickly.

Those eyes were chasing after two iron wolves, dyed the same color as the grass in the meadow.

As if trying to avoid Abel’s gaze, they repeatedly backed away and moved sideways, but when Abel’s gaze clung to them, they gave up hiding and ran at it.

“Awwhh!”

It was at that time that the crowd in the middle, which had once retreated, started running again.

Quadruped!

Abel cut the Iron Wolf’s side with his sword as he attacked Qalian first.

If he wanted to, he could have cut his throat, but instead, Abel hurriedly leaned to the left.

Quack!

An iron wolf jumped up stealthily, bit the air, and then fell to the ground.

Abel did not let him go and lowered his sword.

Caang!

However, Iron Wolf twisted his body greatly and let go of his sword.

“Haap!”

At that time, Daniel’s cheering sound came from behind.

One of them aimed at Daniel instead of Abel.

However, Daniel, who did not let go of his guard, easily swung his spear and pierced his back leg deeply.

“Hoo-wook.”

Abel let out a hot breath.

It hadn’t been long since the battle started, but I felt the fatigue building up in my body moment by moment.

‘The other kids must be the same.’

Especially in the case of Darin, who is relatively weak, it will be even worse.

It was clear that prolonging the battle would not do any good.

Percussion!

At that time, four iron wolves attacked Abel at the same time.

Because the attack was so sudden, not even Qalian or Darin could react in time.

But Abel was not taken aback.

Ugh-.

I squeezed new mana into my core and conjured up a clear image.

See yourself walking in the shadows.

Swoop-.

In an instant, the gigantic Gigant controlled by Abel turned into a blur and then grew.

Whiik!

Ironwolf’s claws, which had rushed at it with fierce force, clawed the air,

Knock!

Sharp teeth bit the air.

Belatedly, the Ironwolves realized something was wrong, but it was already too late.

Kwajik!

A sword that flew from the darkness pierced the head of Iron Wolf, who had bitten into the air.

That wasn’t the end.

The sword moved quickly again, as if it had been stretched in two, and stabbed the other Ironwolf in the scruff of the neck.

“Khehehe!”

Ironwolf collapsed with a sound of air escaping.

The other was dead and lay on the floor unable to make a sound.

The Ironwolves, who lost two of their comrades in an instant, panicked.

-die!

-Huh!

Qalian and Darin didn’t miss the chance and rushed in, each attacking the Ironwolves with their own spears.

“Keng!”

One had its side torn off by Qalian’s fiercely brandished spear.

The other narrowly escaped fatal wounds, but lost the use of one leg.

The two’s performance created a big gap between the Ironwolves.

coo-!

Abel dug in without missing the gap, came out of the shadows, and swung his sword wide.

Kwajik!

The Iron Wolf’s thick neck was cut in two and fell to the floor.

In addition, with the other hand, he grabbed a nearby wolf and slammed it to the ground.

aaang-!

As the huge Iron Wolf’s body slammed to the ground, there was a roar like a bomb exploding.

Although often overlooked, Gigant is a powerful weapon in itself.

This is because it has the formidable power to tear apart an ordinary monster with bare hands.

Therefore, it was not unusual for the rammed Iron Wolf to tremble and then droop.

The remaining Ironwolves finally realized that they were no match and started to run away.

– Run away!

-Don’t miss even one!

Of course, Abel didn’t just sit back and watch it.

-I’m going to chase, so everyone run to the right!

Abel, who quickly gave instructions, moved and drove the remaining Ironwolves in one direction.

The rest followed at a distance and brandished their weapons at the Ironwolf running towards them.

So, one by one, they took their lives.

Kwajik!

The last one belonged to Daniel.

The Iron Wolf, whose intestines were ripped out by the spear, collapsed without being able to walk two steps.

-It’s over… … me?

Seeing this, Darin murmured.

Normally, he would have scolded him not to say anything ominous, but Abel, exhausted, just nodded.

-okay.

Abel said as he gazed at the plains littered with Ironwolf corpses.

-it’s over.

* * *

It was an overwhelming battle.

But it wasn’t that there was no damage at all.

– It looks like there is damage to the left shoulder joint. Not easy to move.

Qalian said in an annoyed voice.

Because it played the role of pulling aggro from the front, it was impossible to avoid damage to the aircraft.

Qalian, who grumbled even more, looked at Abel for a moment before muttering in a low voice.

-… … thanks.

If it hadn’t been for Abel’s help, he would not only have damaged his shoulder joint, but would have lost one foot altogether.

If so, it would have been difficult to even move, let alone fight.

-okay.

Abel answered lightly.

‘It’s surprising.’

While thinking that it was unexpected inside.

It was because I thought that if I thought of my usual harsh attitude, I would just pass by without saying anything.

‘Or they said they didn’t need any help. I thought so.’

Abel laughed in the cockpit.

-good. Then let’s move a little first and then rest. It’s okay to take a break here.

-okay.

-okay.

-huh.

-Yes!

Considering that it was a space created for practice, there would be no other monsters coming after smelling Iron Wolf’s blood.

But apart from that, resting in a place where hideous corpses were scattered all over the place was something I was reluctant to do.

They moved along with their weary bodies, and soon settled down near a small hill that appeared.

-Let’s rest for 20 minutes and move.

After saying that, Abel stopped to one side.

Taking a break is also taking a break, but he had something to check.

These were the messages that came to mind right after the battle.

[The sentence responds.]

The first message that came to mind was this.

The moment the message popped up, Abel felt the sphere of light being sucked into the pattern, just like the tail of the blade.

It was as if he felt pain from the heat.

However, the only difference was that the color of the sphere was green instead of white.

‘Green and white.’

I still don’t know what exactly that means

This is because at most two cases have been experienced.

However, if I continued to experience something similar in the future, it would certainly help me understand this phenomenon.

As Abel cleaned up, he confirmed the following message.

[Absorbs some of Ironwolf’s ability, a fragment of a lesser giant.]

[Strength increases slightly.]

[The skill ‘Fairy Tale’ has been acquired.]

breccia and assimilation.

Leg strength seemed to literally refer to the strength of the legs.

In fact, after the battle, I felt that the strength in my legs had strengthened even slightly.

and fairy tales.

This is the unique ability of the Ironwolf species, and it was the power to kill one’s existence and change to resemble the surrounding environment.

I didn’t try to use it because others noticed, but it was definitely a useful skill as I thought.

‘After only one battle, the pay is good.’

During this practice, there was still a lot of work left to do to deal with the fragments of the giant.

Even if only one or two of them went through something like this, it would be a huge benefit, so Abel smiled.

But the joy is short-lived.

-Abel!

Darin called to Abel in an urgent voice.

-excuse me! Gigants are approaching from afar!
