I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

Abel opened his eyes and immediately raised his upper body to look at the source of the sound.

Then, I saw several dark gray Gigants walking in one direction.

Each shoulder had a new pattern drawn on it, and the arms were all unified.

“Looks like the Knights are out on patrol.”

As I stared blankly at it, I heard a familiar voice.

It was a jackal.

Abel wiped his face with his hand and opened his mouth.

“Looks like the paths overlap.”

“yes. It was because I took a break point along the knights patrol route.”

Abel nodded at the jackal’s words.

It was as it was said. I had expected to encounter the Knights at least once or twice while exploring the Red Hall.

I was just surprised that it was faster than I thought and that I was asleep.

“But if it’s that way, I’ll have to modify the route a bit.”

“yes. Otherwise, I think I’ll just see the remains of the Colossus’ fragments all day long.”

Whatever the case, hunting was the number one goal until they arrived near the Red Hall.

It should be safe if you follow the knights, but of course you can’t hunt.

“Then let’s try to plan the route again while eating.”

Although it was a little earlier than the original wake-up time, Abel got up from his seat.

It was an ambiguous time to go back to sleep.

So Abel had a brief meeting while having a meal, and then started the journey again.

‘Today, I hope that a strong individual will come out.’

In terms of profit, the lowest class or the lowest group was not bad, but there were many regrets.

First of all, in terms of combat experience, Abel definitely wanted to fight a strong entity.

The most disappointing thing there was ‘ability’.

‘In yesterday’s battle, I never got the ability.’

During training and in other battles, if you hunt all the time, you get the ability at least once, but the day before, that never happened.

‘If you think that this is a game, you won’t be able to acquire abilities from weak objects.’

Of course, reality and games are obviously different, but there was no other reason that came to mind right away.

That’s why Abel yearned to meet with an intermediate fragment.

– We will do our best to explore.

When I put that point together and passed it on to others, everyone responded with a lively voice.

As I moved all the way, I saw traces of the knights fighting.

It must have been a mixed group of the lowest and the lowest, but when I looked at the traces, I was in awe.

-Most of them were killed in one blow.

The jackal also admired it, and said in a surprised voice.

Certainly, the skills of the knights who were official Gigant riders were not normal.

Abel nodded a few times before speaking.

-As I said before, turn left here.

-yes!

At Abel’s instruction, everyone resumed their movement.

For a long time after that, no fragments of the giant were found.

It was only natural that, upon hearing the noise of the knights fighting, all the guys who would rush to it would run away, and those who would run away would run away.

It was about two hours after departure that I met the fragments of the giant.

-The lowest-ranking group. Quickly deal with and pass.

They were fragments that were commonly encountered after entering the Red Hall.

While giving instructions, Abel personally grabbed his sword and ran, and the others sped up to catch up.

The number of enemies is thirteen.

But they couldn’t last more than 5 minutes.

Midget clung to them, taking only the profitable parts of the corpse, and they started moving again.

three days car.

Abel and the mercenaries finally arrived near the Red Hall.

He had fought many battles on his way to this place, but there had been no significant damage.

Even though I ran into an intermediate level fragment in the middle.

‘It’s good that there is no damage at all.’

Abel’s expression was complex.

‘I mean, I don’t even have a big income.’

That would be the case, because he had never acquired the ability while coming here.

Even though he cut off the head of a middle class member himself.

Originally, I knew it wasn’t always activated, but I couldn’t help but regret it.

But hanging on to the past doesn’t make it any better.

Abel quickly shook off his disappointment and moved his gaze to the distant place.

‘That’s the Red Hall.’

There was a pit that gave the area the name Red Hole.

The area around it had a peculiar reddish color, so it suited the name Red Hall quite well.

-All preparations for entry are complete.

at that time. The jackal returned and said:

We arrived near Red Hall about an hour ago, and as soon as we arrived, we set up a temporary camp and did a final inspection.

It was only natural that there would be no time to rest for a while after entering the Red Hall.

Abel said with his eyes fixed on the front.

-Exploring the Red Hall is only 8 hours as I said before the contract. If you find an unexpected situation that could threaten your life, you can stop the search at any time.

-yes.

-And moving together is until the beginning.

It was a condition that was set from the time the original contract was signed.

It is inevitable that the deeper you go into the Red Hall, the stronger your magic power becomes.

Even if he brought the magic shield, Titoro couldn’t withstand the magic in his depths.

But that’s only a superficial reason.

The real reason was different.

‘Because it’s better to go alone to the place where the remains of the giants are.’

It was a place where there was nothing good about going with several people.

After entering the Red Hall anyway, there was nothing to worry about other than strong magic power.

Because it is a place intensively managed by the Knights, there are hardly any fragments of the giant.

– Then, let’s get right in.

-yes! hey! Start slowly!

At the jackal’s cry, everyone gathered nearby, activating their Gigant.

Only Abel and the three mercenaries headed to the Red Hall.

The rest of the mercenaries were to wait in a makeshift camp.

It was because carrying the by-products would only get in the way, and Midget couldn’t withstand the magic of the Red Hall even if he spread the magic shield.

With two Titos left behind, a splinter or two that accidentally approached would be no problem.

coo-!

Abel took the lead and started down the hill.

The Red Hall got closer in an instant.

The mercenaries followed closely behind him with their magic shields deployed.

– Hmmm. The concentration of magical power is quite thick.

As they approached the Red Hall, Lupus suddenly opened his mouth.

Abel asked Lupus.

“Can you feel it?”

-Don’t feel it. If I had a body, it would have been hard to breathe.

“that’s interesting.”

Currently, Abel’s Gigant has a powerful magic shielding device.

So Abel, who was inside, couldn’t feel anything.

-Perhaps it would be difficult for an ordinary human to survive even a day if he approached this area with his bare body.

“Is that enough?”

-okay.

Mana gives humans great power, but it’s not just a safe power.

If it rises above a certain concentration, it becomes poison.

If it hadn’t been for that, nobles and rich people would have trained under tremendous magical concentration.

Abel continued walking while talking to Rufus, and before long he arrived at the pit.

Looking down into the pit, I saw the floor below.

It’s not terribly deep, but it’s an ambiguous height to just jump down.

Abel turned to the jackal and said.

-To install the rope.

-yes.

The jackal immediately threw the rope he was slung over one shoulder into the pit.

In the meantime, the other mercenaries laid down the stakes they had prepared on the ground.

bang! bang-!

Then, the two worked together to drive a stake thicker than Gigant’s forearm.

When the stakes were all driven, the jackal secured the ropes to them.

The ropes and stakes were made for Gigant’s purpose, so they were strong enough to easily withstand the weight of Milles.

-Then I’ll go down first.

The jackal stepped forward, grabbed the rope, and entered the red hole.

He skilfully climbed down the rope and eventually reached the bottom and waved.

It was a sign that it was safe.

It was Abel who went down next.

I grabbed the rope and pushed myself into the hole, and I heard a squeaking sound.

It was the sound of the rope.

‘Even though I know it won’t cut off, it’s subtly scary.’

Abel grabbed the rope as carefully as he could and went down.

coo-!

As soon as I stepped on the floor, I felt a sense of relief.

Next, the vice-captain climbed down the rope.

The last one stayed on top to guard the rope.

Abel, the Jackal, and the vice-captain are exploring the interior. There were three of them.

-Which way shall we go?

At the jackal’s question, Abel glanced around for a moment.

The inside of the Red Hall was very large by human standards, but it felt like an ordinary cave because I was riding in a gigantic Gigant.

There were aisles on both sides of the place where they got off, but Abel pointed to the left.

-Go this way.

-yes!

-All right.

This time, out of the three, the vice-captain stood at the front.

It was because the vice-captain’s Gigant was at least suitable for reconnaissance.

Abel followed after him, and the jackal advanced from the rear, keeping watch on the rear.

‘It reminds me of the outdoor practice.’

Abel recalled a moment from the past, holding his weapon tightly.

The moment I wandered through the ruins with Mei.

The only thing we had in common with that time was that we were walking down a narrow aisle, but the tension we felt was similar.

-It’s clean.

Then, Lupus opened his mouth again.

Except for battles, he rarely talks to him, but the special place called the Red Hall seemed to stimulate him.

Abel responded with a voice.

“Because it hasn’t been long since the knights cleaned it up. I planned the schedule with that in mind in the first place.”

– Hmm, sorry. A battle in a place like this would be pretty fun.

At Lupus’ ominous words, Abel was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Don’t be sorry, I’ll make you tired of fighting until you return.”

-hahahaha. Nice to hear from you.

As time passed, Lupus’s ego became clearer and clearer.

Right now, he seems satisfied with his body and Abel’s growth, but he was a being who could change his mind at any time.

The moment he thinks he’s not satisfied, Rufus will try to eat Abel.

I was prepared for that and got it in the first place.

– There is another fork in the road ahead.

After walking for some time, another fork appeared.

Abel pointed to the left again without hesitation.

-For the time being, keep going left at the fork in the road.

-All right.

Red Hall is not an unknown place.

The knights come down periodically to hunt and manage it steadily.

Perhaps there are also maps that are used internally.

However, no one has yet discovered the remains of the giant.

Perhaps because of that, in the past, there were quite a few people who explored this place in search of the remains of the giant, but in recent years, almost no visits have been made.

I searched everywhere I could, but nothing came out.

‘It’s only natural that I couldn’t find it through normal methods in the first place.’

The remains of the colossus were like hidden pieces, if I had to insist.

If you play the game normally, you won’t see the ending at all.

Of course, this was not the case for Abel.

I didn’t always get it because it took some luck, but I got it at least a few dozen times.

-Isn’t this how you keep going around the same road?

After choosing the left side at the fork in the road several times, Rufus asked in a curious voice.

To that, Abel answered simply.

“that’s right. Sooner or later, the first place you came down will come out?”

-Are you aware of that?

“of course.”

The first way to get to the place where the remains of the giants are.

It continued to spin round and round inside the red hole.

-How long will that be?

“How long?”

Abel smiled and said.

“Until there is a road.”

It’s been an hour since we entered the Red Hall. There were only 7 hours left.
