I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

The battle that started as a surprise ended with the cadets’ complete victory.

After the battle, Hena regained her composure and spoke.

-How’s everyone doing?

-I’m okay.

-me too.

-I think I have a little damage on my arm, but there’s no problem moving right now.

Fortunately, the damage wasn’t too serious.

There are two aircraft whose parts that affect movement are damaged. The rest of the armor was slightly damaged.

In the meantime, Abel, who should have been sorting out the situation with Henna, was deep in thought.

‘What was that?’

The change in the body that occurred near the end of the battle, as well as the blurry shape from a distance, was a matter that could never be underestimated.

First of all, there were only two cases where the patterns engraved on the body became hot.

When faced with a fragment of a giant. And when you kill that fragment.

But neither of those things happened unconditionally.

‘Could that person-like figure be a fragment of a giant?’

Abel narrowed his brows.

All of the existence of the fragments of the giants that appear in the game are known, but there was no such existence among them.

Many were human-like in shape, but larger than that.

However, ‘it’ was obviously not very different from a person.

Even though I saw it from afar, that was certain.

‘I’ll have to look around the neighborhood once on the way.’

Fortunately, the direction it was heading was the same as the party was heading, so Abel quickly came to a conclusion.

Because I didn’t have time to worry about it.

-Well then, let’s move first and then rest.

In the meantime, Henna finished organizing the situation and said.

Abel followed her words without saying anything and started moving.

Abel took a careful look around the place where it was on the way, but nothing came of it.

‘There is no trace.’

I couldn’t find any traces so I wondered if I had seen it in vain.

Abel proceeded with a feeling of embarrassment.

Even after that, they continued to move while repeating battles and rests.

There were a few dangerous moments, but thanks to the increased number of people, I was able to get through the crisis relatively easily.

Time passed quickly.

After a few more hours, I was able to arrive in front of a large forest.

‘found.’

It was the forest where the ruins that Abel had been searching for were sleeping.

-The direction of the base is pointing towards this forest. how will we do it?

Hanna came to Abel with a question. It was to ask for opinions as the same leader.

In the forest, Gigant’s combat power is limited. This is because the field of view is narrow and there are many obstacles around.

Perhaps that’s what Henna is worried about.

But Abel’s answer was fixed.

– I think it’s better to go in. Because I don’t know exactly where the base is. It could be in the forest.

– Mmm. That’s right.

Henna nodded as if she had that in mind.

Abel said to Henna.

– Let’s talk to the other kids once.

-okay.

Abel and Hena asked their teammates for their opinions, and soon came a conclusion.

-Then let’s move carefully.

to enter.

* * *

The face of the forest is diverse.

It is very cozy when the sun shines through the leaves, but it takes a lot of courage to walk alone in a dark forest.

It is also the cradle of many lives, but on the other hand, the food chain of being eaten and being eaten spreads.

thump, thump-!

Uninvited guests, steel giants, were strolling through the forest with such diverse faces.

Abel thought as he walked through the woods.

‘Come to think of it, all the trees here are incredibly tall.’

A huge gigantic column is moving.

Even so, walking in the forest was not a big problem.

Basically, it is because the size of each tree is enormous and the distance between them is quite wide.

It’s not a level where you can fight comfortably, but if it was a forest with small trees densely packed, you wouldn’t have dared to enter.

‘Well, most of the forests I’ve seen so far have felt like this.’

However, not all trees and forests in this world are like this.

In general, where there are a lot of giants and fragments of giants, everything is big. plants as well as animals.

The exact cause was not revealed, but scholars speculated that the concentration of mana might have had an effect.

In general, the place where the giants usually stay is because the concentration of mana is thick.

– It’s quiet.

As I was thinking about this and that for a while, I heard Daniel’s voice.

-I know. It’s strangely quiet. I don’t think it was like this when I first came in.

Henna, who was walking in the front, heard that.

Certainly, the forest was strangely quiet.

No matter how much you ride a Gigant, you can hear the sounds around you to some extent.

-Isn’t it because everyone ran away early because of the sound of Gigant’s maneuvering?

One cadet had a different opinion. However, that opinion was immediately rejected by Darin.

-That’s why… … I can’t feel any life outside the range of sight.

Darin has better sensing abilities than a normal person.

After fighting a few battles before coming to the forest, others also learned about it, so I couldn’t pass the word hastily.

Abel sensed that the atmosphere was slightly heavy and opened his mouth.

-What, is there anything you can do right now? Just like before, don’t let go and move carefully.

-That’s right. ‘Cause I can’t go back like this

The device pointing to the location of the stronghold was still pointing into the forest.

Besides, since it had been two hours since I had been there, I couldn’t go back.

My immediate goal was to find a base at least until night, then go in and take a break as soon as the time limit resets.

Those who nodded to Abel’s words had no choice but to continue walking into the forest.

Meanwhile, Abel thought to himself.

‘Am I getting closer?’

It was a thought that came to mind after seeing the other cadets feeling uncomfortable.

A similar description appears in the game.

It is said that the closer they get to the ruins, the more the cadets feel uncomfortable and insecure.

The reason is that the energy emanating from the ruins blocks the access of ordinary living things.

‘Something will happen soon.’

The description did not end there.

It is said that the ruins block the access of ordinary living things, but on the contrary, they have the power to attract unusual living things.

Thinking about that, it wasn’t strange when a battle broke out.

Abel continued to move forward with strength in the hand holding the weapon.

The deeper they went into the forest, the more nervous they felt.

When such a sharp atmosphere reached its peak.

Koo Goo Goong-!

Suddenly the ground shook.

The cadets stared at the ground in amazement because of what had happened the other day.

But on the ground, nothing changed.

– Darin!

Henna quickly came to her senses and called Darin.

Darin replied in a puzzled voice.

-Well, something huge is coming!

-A huge one?

Henna’s voice suddenly became serious.

Meanwhile, the ground shaking was getting worse.

When Henna tries to say something again.

aaang-!

With a roar, parts of the ground rose upward, and something appeared between them.

‘That’s… … ?’

It was so huge that Gigant looked like a child.

Giririririk-.

The sound of metal clashing was heard, and Abel’s expression hardened before he knew it.

Enemies that appear around the ruins are ‘random’.

However, it was not completely random, and it was a format in which one popped out from within a set candidate.

The problem was that the candidates were not all at the same level.

From insignificantly weak to absurdly strong individuals. Its width was wider than expected.

And the one who showed up now was the latter.

In other words, it means an absurdly strong entity.

-Ahhh… … .

A terrified voice was heard.

Even Henna, who had been responsible for controlling the students, could only say one word in a trembling voice.

-thing… … god!

colossus.

It is an enemy of mankind and at the same time an object of fear.

It was well over three times the size of the Gigant they rode on, and its body was covered with silver metal.

It looked like a snake if you dare to compare it with a beast, but in reality it resembled an imaginary dragon.

The legs attached to the long body, and the eyes shining red.

heartbeat-.

What awakened Abel, who had been momentarily frozen, was the sound of his violent heart beating.

Pound, pound, pound -.

My heart was beating wildly.

At the same time, intense heat emanated from the pattern as if burning.

Normally, I would struggle with the pain, but now, when I was half-conscious, it was rather helpful.

Abel, who regained consciousness using the intense pain as a raw material, grasped the situation.

Suddenly, the giant that rose from the ground looked down instead of attacking immediately.

Abel quickly shook his head.

‘It’s impossible to face it head-on.’

Although there was a gigant of heat, it was a power that was not enough to deal with the giant.

In general, to deal with a giant, you must have at least ten Milles-class Gigant fully armed.

It must be an experienced rider to operate it.

However, there were only new riders who had just started handling Gigant.

In addition, the aircraft is only a low-end type with minimal armament.

‘It will take time for support to come.’

As long as the giant appeared, support from the academy will come unconditionally.

It would be difficult to make a simple comparison with the game, but if it were similar, the time would be around 10 minutes.

-10 minutes.

Abel opened his mouth.

-You only need to hold out for 10 minutes! Support will definitely come!

Abel cried out in a loud voice. So that the half-fascinated cadets could clearly hear it.

Some of the cadets came to their senses and raised their heads, but there were more that did not.

So, Abel tightly gripped the sword in his hand and moved forward.

The steps toward the giant were extremely heavy.

But Abel did not stop. Rather, he increased his walking speed and later even ran.

Shrrr-!

When the giant saw Abel running toward him, he flicked his tongue and moved his body slightly.

The sight of the silver scales moving around gave off a sense of intimidation.

Abel gritted his teeth and accelerated even more.

Whoa!

At that moment, the giant raised its tail high.

aaang-!

Right after that, with a roar, the spectacles of those who watched as the dust rose quickly turned pale.

However, when Abel appeared far away from the dust, their expressions changed dramatically.

Of course, the attack didn’t end there.

The giant swung its tail and tried to crush Abel over and over again.

Abel avoided the attack by a narrow margin each time using the Shadow Step.

The distance narrowed in an instant, and Abel used another skill while moving.

[overflow]

My body heated up and my senses expanded.

It felt as if the engine had been run to its limit, but Abel raised his sword without hesitation.

Shrr r r r r r r r r r r!

The giant twisted his body as if he was angry when he saw Abel approaching right in front of him.

But Abel did not back down.

Now, it was time to move forward.

Ugh!

At that time, a faint light began to emanate from the pattern.
