I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

when the appointed time has come.

Kaul appeared again in front of the cadets gathered in front of Gigant to leave the base.

“Before I leave, I will explain the final goal of this exercise.”

It was sudden, but the cadets listened with their eyes sparkling.

“There are five days left. You will survive in the meantime.”

Having said that, Kaul closed his mouth as if he had nothing more to explain.

Daniel looked at him and opened his mouth.

“I… … What exactly do you mean by survival?”

“It means don’t be discouraged. Cadets who become incapacitated will be evacuated to the rear as they are, and that will be the end.”

In other words, as I said at the beginning, it meant holding on well until six days later.

Kaul grinned and added a word.

“It probably won’t be easy. Okay, the question ends with this. Everyone suffer.”

Having said that, Kaul quickly turned his back and left.

The cadets looked blankly at the back and climbed onto the Gigant one by one.

Likewise, Abel, who boarded Gigant, spoke so that everyone could hear.

-First of all, let’s move to the next base as the target this time, as we agreed beforehand.

-okay.

-i get it.

There was no reason to target the next base, but there was no other destination either.

Unlike the previous stages, which gave a certain amount of goals, this time it was only a vague goal to survive for 6 days.

That’s why I decided to first aim for the next base and check the situation while moving.

Of course, that was just the reason he said it while talking to the other cadets, but Abel had other thoughts.

‘Anyway, the ruins have to be moved farther in from here.’

The current location is the beginning of the Telif Plain, which can be said to be the main stage.

I don’t know exactly where the next point indicated by the navigation is, but at least it must be deeper than the current location.

Because of that, I was thinking of deciding how to get to the ruins while moving there first.

I already had several options in mind, so I just had to pick the right one depending on the situation.

Khuong, thump, thump-.

Having decided on his destination, Abel started moving with the others.

After leaving the base, nothing happened for a while.

I was able to move at high speed thanks to not encountering a single small beast, let alone a fragment of a giant.

But that luck didn’t last long.

About two hours later, fragments of the giant suddenly attacked.

-left! Three on the left!

– They’re running from behind!

It was once again a group of Ironwolves that attacked.

Darin was able to respond without panic because he was quick to notice, but there was no time to spare.

-Finish it quickly! Because other guys might be twisted!

It was because if the battle dragged on for a long time, fragments of other giants could come running.

– One last one!

Abel Joe, who finished the battle so quickly, moved right away to avoid a series of battles.

-sh*t! Coming again!

However, that effort was futile and less than 10 minutes later, he was attacked again.

After barely defeating the attack, you get another attack when you move.

After fighting four battles like that, Abel and the others were able to rest.

“Whoa.”

In the passenger seat, Abel sighed and wiped his sweat.

If you look at each battle separately, there was nothing that threatening, but the problem was that the battle was fought continuously without rest.

As the battle continued, everyone felt their stamina and concentration drop, and Abel had to work harder and harder to make up for it.

But there was something else that bothered me more than the immediate fatigue and pain.

“More threatening than expected… … .”

Originally, the practice itself was quite tight, but four raids like this time were outside of that range.

The other cadets. I don’t know what’s normal or not, but it wasn’t Abel.

This practice should have been conducted under the strict control of the academy.

But there were people who dug that gap.

“United Kingdom… … .”

Abel whispered the name.

The United Kingdom is the only one on the continent with a military force comparable to that of the Empire.

If you simply look at the power reflected on the outside, it was inferior to the Empire, but in reality it was not.

It’s because there is a lot of invisible power.

At this point, he was trying not to build a confrontation with the Empire, but he was plotting all sorts of things behind the scenes.

The incident that happened during this practice was one of them.

‘Exactly, it was committed by an organization under the United Kingdom.’

Abel also knew the name of the organization.

pilgrim.

One of the most powerful and elusive organizations under the United Kingdom.

In the original game, you have to prevent them from intervening in practice and causing a major blow to the academy.

‘Exactly, it’s closer to minimizing damage.’

However, Abel, who had dug deep into the game, knew that it wasn’t just what it looked like.

‘The actual goal was different.’

What they were aiming for was not the students who participated in the practice, but the artifacts sleeping in the ruins.

What hindered the practice was a smoke screen to avoid being discovered that they were looking for artifacts.

That’s why Abel thought he had to go to the ruins as soon as possible.

‘If I just take the artifact first, I can prevent most of the events that follow.’

When you think about it.

-Abel! Time’s up!

I heard Daniel’s voice.

Hearing that voice, Abel immediately raised his upper body and placed both hands on his core.

Woo woo woo-.

Abel, who had awakened Gigant through a familiar process, slowly rose from his seat.

I wasn’t completely out of danger yet, so I took turns taking breaks.

Since Abel was last out of the pack, it was time to move again.

-Are you going to move right away?

-okay.

I couldn’t say I had enough rest, even in empty words, but it was dangerous to stay in one place for too long.

Taking a short break was also taking many risks.

– Let’s aim to reach the next base as quickly as possible.

-huh.

-okay.

Abel picked up his weapon and started walking again.

The current situation was not so good, but once we reached the midpoint, things would get better.

It wasn’t just because I could take a break.

The base you will head to after leaving the first base is much larger in scale.

And many groups gather there.

In other words, it was an opportunity to replenish power.

* * *

The attack of the fragments of the giant continued, and Abel had to fight three more times.

Fortunately, I never had a major crisis, but everyone felt that fatigue was reaching its peak.

By the time everyone was tired like that.

-It’s a base!

Finally they reached the next base.

At Darin’s cry, Abel turned his head and looked in the direction of the base.

Even at a glance, there was an artificial building built there.

-let’s go!

Abel led the others towards it. And it wasn’t long before I found out that I had come to the right place.

Even from a distance, the scale of the base was three or four times larger than the places he had visited before.

– Wow, how big is it?

When Daniel saw it, he burst into admiration.

Qalian, who had been silent, added a word to him.

-If it’s that large, there must be something different from the previous base. facility or whatever.

That was exactly the point.

Certainly, the base in front of me was different in many ways from the places I had visited before.

Abel knew that, but instead of explaining, he moved faster.

A few minutes later, they arrived in front of the stronghold.

“You can come here!”

This time, it was not the cowl that greeted Abel and the cadets, but an academy man riding Tito.

He moved ahead and guided me to a place to keep Gigant.

Abel, who was entrusted with maintenance of the aircraft, looked around the base while waiting for the others.

‘There’s a lot of Tito.’

Tito Rider was in charge of the defense of the base, and there were not a few of them.

The reason why Tito class was used was because of its efficiency.

If the power is enough to operate one Milles-class aircraft, it can move five Titos.

Also, it was enough to deal with a tolerable enemy with a Tito class.

‘If an opponent I can’t handle comes, I’ll take the time with Tito, and in the meantime, I’ll bring a higher-grade aircraft.’

While contemplating how to defend the base, Darin got off the Gigant for the last time and walked in front of it.

After confirming that everyone was gathered, Abel opened his mouth.

“Let’s take a break first.”

“okay. Are you going to rest here for a few hours? Or all the way… … .”

“Excuse me.”

While Daniel was questioning Abel, the first guide returned and said:

After getting off at Tito, he was a sad young man, but he looked like a soldier belonging to the academy because he was wearing a uniform.

“Since I used 4 out of 6 hours at the last base, I can only stay at this base for 2 hours.”

“yes?”

The cadets were surprised to hear it for the first time, and Qalian even shot at it in a sharp tone.

“I have never heard of such a story. Isn’t there something wrong?”

“This is an instruction from above. Even if you ask me, nothing will change.”

The soldier said firmly, as if he would not receive objections.

“Then what would you like to do? Shall I direct you to a place to rest right away?”

“yes. We will also eat there.”

Abel, who already knew about the time limit, didn’t waste time and answered right away.

“Then follow me this way.”

The other cadets looked dissatisfied, but followed without a word.

Not long after that, they arrived at a fairly spacious temporary lodging, and when the soldier left, everyone spoke the words they had been holding back.

“Did Instructor Kaul miss it on purpose? Are you trying to trick us?”

It was Qalian’s words.

Abel responded calmly to those words.

“There is no possibility. Or it could have been deliberately omitting that fact.”

“on purpose? Come to think of it, didn’t you say there was something going on the other day?”

“huh. This practice itself is completely different from the tests at the academy.”

Abel continued.

“There are no clear goals, no rules. It feels like they just threw the cadets on the plain.”

“Why?”

“That’s why I said it bothered me. The goal of this practice itself was like presenting various situations and then seeing how to respond to them.”

After talking that far, Daniel, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth.

“I know how you feel. If I had been resting all the time at the base last time, I would have been kicked out without even taking a break here… … .”

“In that situation, you could have seen a pretty violent reaction. joy.”

Qalian snorted displeasedly as he accepted Daniel’s words and finished them off.

It’s like playing around, so it won’t be a pleasant feeling.

The root cause is that I can only rest for 2 hours even though I have accumulated a lot of fatigue.

“Well, since we only have two hours over there, wouldn’t it be better to take a quick break?”

At that time, Darin opened his mouth in a timid voice.

The atmosphere, which had been slightly heated by those words, quickly subsided.

It’s because everyone realized that time was passing even in the midst of teasing like this.

“okay… … . Talking like this doesn’t change anything.”

“But this time, I’ll have to ask you a few things before I go. Because I don’t want to take the trouble again, even if I die.”

“good. Let’s take a break first, then get up and sort out the questions to ask.”

Abel finished the conversation neatly and walked to his bed.

However, he did not intend to fall asleep right away. Because there was work left to do.

It was just contacting another Joe.

There didn’t seem to be any other groups at the base yet, but Abel thought he would run into at least one group before leaving.

Unlike other places, this was because it was a large base presented as a destination for several groups.

So, Abel sat upright on the bed, closed his eyes, and waited.

How long has it been since you waited like that?

thump, thump-.

From far away came the sound of Abel waiting.
