I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

All those who were trying to sleep at the sound of the ground shaking opened their eyes.

Their nerves must have been sharpened by the continued battle, so even if they were resting in a safe base, they would not have been able to sleep peacefully.

It wasn’t long before I fell asleep in the first place.

Abel checked the time.

‘It’s been about 10 minutes now.’

There is plenty of room for this.

Abel briefly organized his thoughts before opening his mouth.

“I’ll tell you when everyone wakes up. I have a suggestion.”

“suddenly?”

Daniel, who was the first to wake up, asked with a puzzled expression.

Abel nodded.

“huh. These are my thoughts after coming to the base here.”

“What?”

Qalian, who was lying awake, raised his upper body and asked a question.

Abel responded simply.

“How about working with another group?”

“Another Joe? Cooperation?”

“huh. Upon entering, I could see that the base was too wide for one group to stay. So I thought that several groups could rest at once.”

Abel continued talking.

“So after thinking that another group might come, I suddenly wondered what it would be like to cooperate.”

“little… … It’s out of the blue.”

Qalian spoke in a timid tone, but Abel didn’t care.

“Honestly, the road to here wasn’t that easy, was it?”

I couldn’t deny all of that.

No one was fatally injured, but it wasn’t without dangerous moments.

“Anyway, I don’t know if I need to curl my tail already.”

However, Qalian still answered with a perverse attitude as if he didn’t like it.

Abel spoke calmly instead of giving the same crooked answer.

“Then why don’t we go together for a day? If there are a lot of people, you can take a lot of rest. You can only rest here for two hours right now.”

When I pointed out the physical aspect, Qalian had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

‘Everyone will be able to relax a little more as they gain experience, but it’s not the stage to discuss that right away.’

Abel thought about that and quietly waited for an answer without rushing.

After some time, Qalian opened his mouth.

“okay. Then, just one day.”

“good. I agree.”

“me too.”

“Then me too… … .”

After Qalian gave his consent, the others also came up with their opinions.

It was unanimously in favor.

Abel got up from his seat.

“Then, let’s go out now.”

“now?”

“huh. The vibration sound from earlier sounded just like the sound of Gigant moving.”

“Ah, that’s right. Shall I go with you too?”

“are you okay. I’m not even sure it came.”

Abel stopped Daniel’s proposal and stood up.

When I adjusted my collar and came out, I could see Gigant standing not far away.

There are five in total. All of them were Miles.

As Abel expected, another group arrived.

Gigant’s condition was not so good as if it had been a fierce battle.

‘Looking at the status, I’m going to go to the repair shop.’

Abel headed straight for it.

Arriving at Surigo shortly after, Abel found those who had just disembarked from Gigant.

Among them, some were familiar with Abel.

Burning red hair.

It was henna.

“Henna!”

“huh? Abel?”

Hena turned her head at Abel’s call and opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Why are you here?”

“Why are you here? We also came here to rest.”

“Ah, somehow it was spacious.”

Hena nodded in agreement with Abel’s words.

Henna asked Abel.

“Then why did you stop taking a break and come out? Do you want to say hello to this sister?”

Henna raised her chin with an arrogant expression. It was a prank that we often played as our friendship deepened.

Abel replied with a smile.

“What is your sister? He’s also short.”

“what?!”

Henna got an ax at the sudden rant, but Abel didn’t care and continued talking.

“I don’t have much time, so I’ll start with the main topic. How about hanging out together for a while?”

Hena, who was about to say something harsh, closed her mouth at Abel’s suggestion and narrowed her brows.

“… … together?”

“huh. yours and ours. Oh, is there a leader by any chance?”

“It’s not like that, but whatever we decide, we have to discuss it. But what companion? Any problem?”

“You must have felt it too? The battle is tougher than I thought.”

Abel pointed at Henna’s Gigant with his chin and said.

Her and the crew’s Gigant were in even worse condition than Abel’s.

Henna hesitated for a moment, then answered honestly.

“It was a bit difficult. So, do you want to go with me?”

“huh. Whether it’s five or ten, the enemies you’ll have to deal with will be similar. There was no saying that we shouldn’t cooperate with the rules.”

“It is, but… … .”

“I don’t mean to hang out together for a few days. You can cooperate in moderation, and if it’s not as dangerous as expected, you can part ways.”

In the first place, it was not a proposal that I made with the idea that Abel would accompany him all the time.

This is because they know that if the situation gets serious, the academy will intervene anyway.

‘They think it’s still within the scope of control, so they won’t intervene.’

But that thought wouldn’t last more than two days.

Henna pondered for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Let’s talk one more time. Oh, how many hours do you guys have left?”

“An hour and forty minutes now?”

“Not much left. Which side is the tent on?”

Abel briefly gave her location, said goodbye to Henna, and returned to the tent.

‘I’ll probably accept the offer.’

At first glance, there was no one in Henna Joe who seemed likely to have a particularly out-of-the-box opinion.

I’d say it’s a very nice combination.

Since Henna seemed positive to the offer, he was more likely to accept it.

‘The important thing is to find the ruins by tomorrow.’

First of all, once Henna accepts the offer, things become a lot easier.

Even if approaching the ruins is not an ordinary task, it is because the heat of the Milles-class Gigant is overflowing with power.

Abel entered the tent, organizing the information in his head.

“How is it?”

As I was afraid to enter, Daniel handed me a question.

“It came right. It was Henane Jo.”

“Henna? Then it must be Class C?”

“huh. They said they made a proposal and after discussing it, they would come and tell me.”

Abel said and sat down on the bed.

He took a short nap, then got up and ate.

When there were about 20 minutes left before leaving like that.

“Abel.”

Henna has arrived.

Scared to go outside, Henna opened her mouth.

“proposal. I will accept.”

“Good. When are you leaving?”

“I have to go with you. Fortunately, only the exterior of Gigant was damaged, so I think I can go just in time.”

“I’m glad.”

It was good news because I was prepared to wait for a short time.

“Then let’s meet up front.”

“huh.”

They were going to meet again when they boarded Gigant anyway, so Abel went inside after a short talk.

He told Daniel and others that he had accepted the offer.

Soon after, they got ready and left the barracks, and on the way to ride Gigant, they encountered Henna again.

It wasn’t a very leisurely situation, so they exchanged a short greeting and got on the Gigant right away.

coo-!

That’s how Abel and Hena’s group left the base and moved together.

* * *

-I thought there would be a more certain system.

Shortly after leaving the base, Hena started talking to me.

It was close to a light complaint, but everyone added one word at a time as if they could sympathize.

-I know. I never imagined that you would just throw it away while telling me to hold on to it.

-I agree too. To be honest, it was a bit disappointing.

These were the words of Daniel and Qalian.

It was worth it.

I didn’t even know the details of the practice until I came here.

At least since it was held at the academy, they must have thought of doing something according to the schedule.

However, in Abel’s view, the practice program itself was effective enough.

‘Because this practice is thoroughly focused on actual combat experience.’

During practice, cadets must operate long gits in a state of tension for a long time.

Also, it is common to fight consecutive battles without proper rest.

where is that all?

Your group or your gigant may break down or you may get lost.

Or, you may not be able to operate Gigant because your physical strength and mental strength are exhausted.

This practice is to give you that experience in advance.

‘That’s right. After all, anything you can learn normally is included in the academy’s curriculum.’

So the practice itself is not a problem.

The problem was that during this practice, an ‘accident’ outside the academy’s control would occur.

Abel’s purpose was to stop that.

Of course, I couldn’t get that out of my mouth.

Everything about practice will be helpful, so I can’t tell you to persevere and work hard.

-I know.

So, Abel continued to move while arguing appropriately.

Surprisingly, I didn’t encounter any fragments of the giant for about three or four hours after I left the base.

Although they didn’t say it out of their mouth, Qalian and others secretly expressed their dissatisfaction.

I decided to move together because it was dangerous, but it was because nothing dangerous happened.

However, Qalian never expressed any dissatisfaction.

It’s because the moment I was about to take a break and move, I was attacked on a large scale.

aaang-!

With a roar, dust flew in all directions.

Even Darin, who had a good sense of humor, was not warned of this raid.

That’s right, because this raid started from underground.

-Lazy Claw!

The identity of the assailant was a fragment of a giant named Lazy Claw.

Its body was oval and covered with a silver shell, and its front feet had three sharp, elongated claws.

In fact, it looked more like a claw than a claw.

-Don’t get too close, keep your distance!

As soon as Abel confirmed his identity, he shouted loudly.

From the outside, the most threatening thing was the sharp claws, but in fact, there was something more dangerous.

“Keeik!”

One of the Lazy Claws grabbed hold of one of the slow-acting Gigant.

At that moment, the ground beneath it sank completely.

Kurrrung-!

– Aww!

The unknown cadet struggled in fright.

However, Lazy Claw did not move, and the bodies of the two gradually sank to the ground.

As soon as Abel saw it, he rushed in and pulled the aircraft upwards before being completely sucked in.

This was the scariest thing about Lazy Claw.

Lazy claws move by making burrows under the ground, and when hunting, they have a habit of pulling prey down into the burrows.

If it were a small beast, Lazy Claw was a monster the size of a two-story house.

Even if he was riding a Gigant, he couldn’t be careless.

‘In terms of the setting, there is a story that a village disappeared in one night.’

Recalling the danger in his mind once again, Abel cautiously engaged in battle.

The war situation was very crowded.

No one was significantly inferior in skill.

However, against Lazy Claw, which repeatedly burrowed into the ground and popped out, most of them were embarrassed and unable to demonstrate their skills.

“Whoa.”

Abel took a deep breath.

If this continues, the damage will grow out of control.

It was not enough to simply fight hard.

So Abel opened his mouth.

-every!

A booming voice amplified and resounded.

All eyes gathered in an instant.

-Don’t overdo it and keep widening your distance! It’s not hard to deal with as long as you’re careful with your claws and getting caught!

The words continued.

-If another person is caught, immediately cut the rage claw or bring out the person caught! Since you’re riding on Gigant anyway, you won’t die right away even if you get sucked in, so don’t panic!

It wasn’t a big comfort if you look at it coldly, but surprisingly, those who heard it gradually found calm.

As Abel swung his sword like mad and dealt with the Lazy Claw, the battle gradually stabilized.

When the number of rage claws decreased from fifteen to three, Abel was finally able to catch his breath.

But then.

heartbeat-.

Suddenly, Abel’s pattern became hot and his heart started beating wildly.

Abel instinctively turned his head to one side.

Then, far away, at the end of my field of vision, I saw the shape of a ‘person’.

It looked towards Abel and disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, the beating of its heart stopped.

-Abel! are you okay?

Abel, who was wrapped in embarrassment, came to his senses at the sound of Daniel’s voice.

Abel slowly looked away and answered.

-huh.

But his expression hardened.
