I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

After Darin’s warning that the short break was over, a rumbling sound was heard shortly after.

The cadets, including Abel, silently watched that direction while holding their weapons.

Positioned on a relatively high ground, Abel was able to spot the other side first.

‘Five flags.’

After confirming his true identity, Abel sighed.

Although there were only five of them, it was because they were ordinary supply units.

Besides, judging from the way he was moving, he seemed completely unaware of Abel Cho’s presence.

Before acting, Abel gave the group a set hand signal.

It was nothing particularly complicated.

Are you hiding like this? Or do you contact

Results came quickly.

Let’s get in touch first.

Abel also belonged to the latter.

It was because I thought it would be better to gather as much information as possible rather than to buy myself now.

‘There’s no reason to fight among the cadets in the beginning anyway.’

Organizing his thoughts, Abel shouted in a loud voice before getting too close.

– Who is there!

It was scary to say that the other side was seen to be confused.

Two of them turned their heads here and there to find the source of the sound, while the other two first crouched down to look.

‘It’s sh*t’

But not everyone was like that.

There was someone who answered with a voice that was beyond calm and made me feel cold.

-It’s class B’s violin.

-… … Why are you approaching this way?

Instead of revealing his identity, Abel asked the question again.

Iolin stared at Abel’s aircraft before opening his mouth.

– I didn’t specifically notice that and moved. It’s just that the travel paths overlap.

-Right.

A moment of silence followed.

An easy opponent would dig up information here and there, but Eolin wasn’t that kind at all.

‘It’s obvious that talking about cooperation or exchanging information won’t work.’

Having made a quick decision, Abel opened his mouth again.

-Then don’t come this way and just pass by.

-okay.

As expected, Iolin immediately started moving with the cadets after a brief reply.

Abel kept the direction she was moving in his head.

when they’re out of sight.

– It seems that the scope of the practice place is not so wide as I thought to meet Class B?

Qalian spoke first.

Abel nodded.

-I know. Maybe you’ll have to compete with other groups during the practice process.

It was a guess, but what Abel said was true.

Practice is practice, but strictly speaking, it was as important as the midterm exam.

This is because most of the midterm exams are theory-oriented, and the evaluation received during the practice period is reflected in the grade at a fairly large rate.

‘That’s why I’m evaluating all sorts of things… … .’

To Abel’s words, the others added one word at a time and exchanged opinions.

After taking a break for about five minutes, Abel spoke again.

-Now let’s move slowly. Oh, and Darin.

-Yes?

When his name was suddenly called, Darin replied in surprise.

Abel said to her.

– Do you feel anything around you?

-uh… … . I guess not?

-okay. okay.

Darin replied as if he didn’t know why he was asking him, but Abel knew.

that she has a talent for the position of seeker.

It wasn’t a coincidence that I was the first to notice Joe’s approach earlier.

It’s because I haven’t been properly trained there yet, it’s clumsy, but the talent is real.

Abel thought while slowly moving the aircraft.

‘The more I think about it, the more amazing the composition of the group is.’

Darin in the position of a seeker, essential to the mission.

Mei in the attacker position with maximum offensive ability.

Daniel in the tank position with excellent defense and strong stamina.

Qalian and Abel himself, who can handle all kinds of battles.

Besides, three out of five belong to the special class.

Even if you look at the whole, this would be unrivaled power.

Of course, that didn’t mean it was unconditionally advantageous.

As much as these powers, the evaluation criteria will be difficult. It’s a bonus that difficult tests are arranged.

‘Just looking at how Iron Wolf was deployed right from the start.’

No matter what, carelessness is prohibited.

– Darin. Keep an eye out for anything approaching you.

– Oh, yes!

Abel gave Darin advice once in a while and moved on towards his destination.

large tent.

At the long table placed in the center, the instructors sat down.

Vice-principal Fleta, who was sitting at the top of the table, looked at the map on the table and said,

“Certainly, there is a big difference in the beginning.”

“That’s right. It’s because I have a strong personality of evaluating the strength of each group up to the second stage.”

At the words of an instructor, Fleta nodded.

As it was said, the initial practice was focused on checking the overall level of each group rather than specifically evaluating the cadets.

This is because the practice itself is about presenting a test suitable for each level rather than giving the same ordeal to all cadets.

In other words, groups with a higher overall level have to pass a more difficult test.

Fleta tapped the map with a pen and said.

“It is up to the midterm exam to evaluate the achievement level of each cadet. In practice, you should focus on checking what the cadets’ tendencies are and how much they can grow in the future. Everyone keep that in mind.”

“yes!”

After hearing the answer, Fleta brought up another topic instead of continuing the conversation.

“Which group is the most ahead right now?”

“Two pairs. A group led by Cadet Abel of Class A. And it is a group led by a violin cadet from Class B.”

“Hmm. Are the two groups on the same level?”

“The pace itself is similar, but strictly speaking, Group A is ahead. In the case of Group B, the route itself is rather short.”

“okay.”

Fleta opened her mouth after confirming the faces of Abel and the cadets in that group.

“First of all, let’s end today’s meeting here. We will meet again tomorrow morning.”

“All right!”

When she gave the order to disperse, most of them left the tent except for a few.

Fleta opened her mouth after a while.

“I haven’t seen any signs of it yet, but everyone please check carefully.”

“yes.”

“All right.”

Those who remained focused on creating a safe environment by patrolling the surroundings instead of directly intervening in the practice process.

The place where the practice takes place is a ‘safe’ space created by the academy with great care.

But there are no absolutes in this world.

The reality is that you never know when and where variables will pop up.

“Then, everyone, let’s go.”

Fleta gave orders to those who remained, and soon after, she was alone in the tent.

Sitting alone in the tent where everyone had left, Fleta wiped her face.

“Whoa.”

Supervising the practice was like walking on a thorny path for her.

This practice did not have a long history. It first appeared only five years ago.

At the time, she was very negative about the establishment of a practical course.

The reason was simple.

because it’s dangerous

Originally, it is from the second semester of the second year that the mission is performed in the external field.

Before that, no matter how great a cadet was, they were seen as unprepared.

‘But the academy eventually created a practice course.’

And that’s not all. Practice was just the beginning, all kinds of risky lessons were added.

The reason was also simple.

Because the situation was not serious.

After the Great War, the Empire enjoyed a brief peace.

Although it was built upon blood and corpses, peace is peace nonetheless.

However, that peace began to shake five years ago, and a lot has changed since then.

Del Modor Academy could not resist the flow of change.

‘Some people said that the academy is not changing, but returning to its original ideology.’

Originally, Del Modor Academy started as a training center to nurture outstanding ‘knights’.

However, as soon as the era of peace ended, the current academy was transformed into a training center for training gigant riders.

They are driving young children who are only in their teens at most into a dangerous place in the name of riders.

she didn’t like that

In particular, I didn’t like it even more that I had to practice in a situation where all kinds of dangerous groups were setting up in the territory of the empire.

“Tsk. What the hell is Master thinking?”

Fleta put down the pen while muttering to herself.

Her gaze returned to the map.

Sunlight was streaming in through the cracks in the tent.

‘The sun has risen.’

I turned my head slightly to see the sun rising over the horizon.

For a long time, she looked at the sun with hot eyes, as if she was longing for light.

* * *

Silver giants glittering in the hot sunlight were galloping through the wilderness.

thump, thump, thump-!

As many as five Gigant were running, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

However, Abel, who was running in the lead, did not care and focused on running faster.

Soon after, Abel noticed a large building ahead.

thud! thud!

Abel raised his hand to signal a stop and slowly slowed down to a halt.

-excuse me. There is a building ahead.

At his words, others also noticed that the buildings were lined up.

The navigation also pointed to those buildings exactly.

-It could be a trap, so let’s approach it slowly.

At Abel’s words, everyone nodded without saying anything.

Everyone already thought of Abel as the leader.

Of course, Qalian still had a bit of rebellious momentum left.

In any case, Abel slowly approached the building with his sword in his hand.

Soon after, I noticed someone standing in front of the building.

“hey-! It’s this way! Stop right here!”

The loud screamer was a very familiar figure.

It was none other than a cowl.

Kaul did not stop at shouting, but gave a signal that he had set before practice.

‘That signal… … It meant that it wasn’t a trap or anything like that.’

The other cadets also saw the signal, and after exchanging a few words, they disembarked at Gigant at Kaul’s direction.

Woo woo-.

As I stepped out of the cockpit, a cool breeze cooled my body.

Although his body was tired from operating Gigant non-stop for several hours, Abel did not show any signs and walked towards Kaul.

“Everyone worked hard!”

Kaul spread his arms and shouted.

Of course, no one was hugging the cowl, who looked suffocated at first glance, so Abel kept his distance and asked.

“Where is this place?”

“Hmm. is an intermediate point. Have you ever heard of it in class?”

“Ah yes.”

The intermediate base had the meaning of its name.

The longer you operate the gigant, the more fatigue builds up.

If you are naked, you can sit somewhere and take a break, but Gigant is not like that.

Even if you stay still, the fatigue builds up less, but it doesn’t go away.

That’s why the intermediate base was essential for operating Gigant.

It is a place where you can safely get off the Gigant and take a rest while doing simple repairs.

“You guys can take a break for up to 6 hours here. Instead, if you leave halfway through, the break is over.”

Kaul continued to explain to the cadets.

“Intermediate points like this one are located all over the practice area. And it is the cube that tells you where it is.”

It was the cube that Abel was calling a navigation in his mind.

“What’s next?”

At that time, Daniel raised his hand and asked Kaul.

It was a question I hadn’t asked in the first place because I thought I wouldn’t get a proper answer, but Kaul surprisingly answered meekly.

“An endless battle.”

An evil smile hung on his lips.
