I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

“What you learn is, as the name suggests, a taijutsu devised by Sir Alon himself.”

Kaul began to explain softly.

“Then, of course, you will have questions. that’s how i know First of all, I, of course, do not have a drop of blood with Sir Alon.”

Needless to say, special skills such as chess are handed down through blood or family.

This means that it is rarely passed on to outsiders.

After talking that far, Kaul spread his hands wide and said.

“But Sir Alon passed on his taijutsu to all five of his disciples at the time.”

“You mean all five?”

Daniel asked in surprise. Because it was so unusual.

Kaul nodded.

“okay. And what I learned was handed down from among them, Mr. Wolfren of Iron Wall.”

At the name Wolfren, everyone put on their faces in surprise once again.

He, too, was a very famous figure, though not as well as Lord Alon.

‘It’s a strongman who made a name for himself during the Great War.’

Abel was familiar with his name.

As the commander of the Northern Army, Wolfren literally played an active role despite his advanced age.

It was even said that without him, the current territory of the empire would have shrunk to two thirds.

Seeing the reaction of the three, Kaul smiled and continued.

“Judging by the look on his face, he seems to be curious about the relationship between him and me.”

No one denied it.

Kaul explained in more detail to him.

“During the Great War, I participated as a member of the Imperial Army, and I was under him at that time.”

At the time, Kaul said he had received some lessons directly from Wolfren.

Chejutsu was also one of them.

“So, to be precise, the name of this taijutsu should be Alon-Wolfren taijutsu. It was improved once by Wolfren-sama.”

Kaul pointed out some differences.

“He redefined taijutsu by changing his movements to be more linear and assuming that he would deal with multiple opponents. Of course, that doesn’t make it any easier to learn or anything like that.”

Caul, who threatened that you guys would probably have a hard time learning this, then turned to Daniel.

“As we talked earlier, Daniel will learn the defense part of taijutsu.”

His gaze then turned to Mei.

“And you, Mei, will learn to move and attack.”

Finally, Kaul looked at Abel.

“And Abel. You will learn everything in general. However, how much you get out of the dog depends on your efforts and will. Got it?”

“yes!”

Abel responded vigorously.

So did Daniel and May.

Kaul opened his mouth after checking everyone’s reaction.

“Then let me explain it here. Let’s start slowly now.”

He said with a wicked smile plastered on his face.

“Hell training.”

* * *

After the physical training session, exhausted students were scattered all over the playground.

Normally, he would have collapsed on the floor and returned to the dormitory, staggering like an undead, but the situation was a bit different now.

Most of the students were looking to one side with sympathetic eyes.

“Huh, huh.”

“Woo-wook.”

There were three students where their eyes were directed.

Daniel, May and Abel.

“Ugh… … .”

No matter how hard it was, Abel and May, as well as Daniel, were moaning with pale complexions.

It was hard enough training that Daniel, who was not lacking even if he was called a monster in terms of physical strength, had a hard time.

At that time, Kaul’s shrill voice pierced the students’ ears.

“Daniel! Posture is messed up! Concentrate.”

“Yes, yes!”

Daniel, whose shoulders drooped slightly, regained his composure and straightened his posture.

Abel looked at the figure sideways and thought to himself.

‘I’m going to die, really.’

There was no exaggeration whatsoever about the training in hell that Kaul was talking about.

As soon as the training started, the cowl suddenly changed like a yaksha and began to attack.

Compared to now, the usual appearance in class could be said to be compassionate itself.

“Abel! you also!”

“yes!”

After thinking about something else for a moment, Abel came to his senses at Kaul’s sharp scream and straightened his posture.

Currently, Abel was in the posture of what is commonly called a demon.

That alone was hard, but there was something else that bothered him even more.

“It’s meaningless if you don’t use magic power!”

From nob le mt l dot com

Just then, Kaul emphasized once more.

power management.

The reason why even Daniel, who is a monster of physical strength, was having a hard time was because he had to take a magical posture and manage his magic power at the same time.

Mana management is originally an act that consumes a lot of mental strength and physical strength.

But to do it at the same time as magic, he didn’t have the courage to endure it.

Moreover, as if he were seeing magic with his own eyes, he pointed it out every time his magical operation went awry, so he couldn’t even fool around for a moment.

“Hook, hook.”

Abel breathed heavily.

Of course, this training was not forced. Rather, it was a precious time that I received as a reward.

It’s just that, even knowing that, it was hard enough to make me feel weak.

But Abel gritted his teeth and thought.

‘I can hold on.’

It’s hard all the time, thinking about it is only going to make it harder.

Abel consciously emptied his head, just like when raising the synchro, and focused only on magic and mana management.

how much time has passed like that

“stop!”

At the same time as Kaul’s voice, Abel returned to reality.

“Ugh.”

As he lost his concentration, his legs lost strength at the same time.

Abel almost collapsed, but managed to hold on and stand upright.

Daniel and May were similar.

Kaul looked at the scene and spoke in a stern voice.

“I do this for two hours each time I train until I get used to it. Got it?”

“yes!”

After hearing the roaring reply, Kaul gave a satisfied smile.

“Still, everyone did well for the first day. It’s a reward, but I’ll show you something good.”

After saying that, Kaul slowly began to take a stance.

“Keep it in your eyes.”

Caul, who spoke with a serious expression, suddenly had a completely different atmosphere than before.

The air around him pressed heavily against him.

Kaul stood in that position for a moment, then slowly, very slowly, extended his fist forward.

That moment.

Abel opened his eyes wide involuntarily.

It was because I felt like a huge tidal wave was coming over me.

widely-.

At that time, I saw Daniel taking a step back.

Perhaps he felt the same way as Abel. So, without realizing it, I stepped back.

All he did was slowly extend his fist forward.

That feeling completely disappeared only after Kaul slowly withdrew his fist.

“It looks like just punching, but this is the core of taijutsu you guys will learn.”

Kaul continued with a heavy, subdued voice.

“Compared to martial arts, martial arts may seem less important. Even if you ride a Gigant, you fight with a weapon. but.”

Kaul said that it is a story that only one knows and the other does not know, adding a detailed explanation.

“Proper taijutsu is the foundation of everything. Even when wielding a sword. Even when stabbing a window. Even when holding a shield and blocking. It can be applied everywhere. Got it?”

“yes!”

“Okay then, that’s it for today. Get some rest. Rest is part of training.”

“All right!”

“yes!”

“yes.”

With Kaul’s words, the training ended.

Abel waited for Caul to leave and told Daniel.

“Let’s wash up and go eat.”

“okay… … . May, let’s go!”

Daniel took care of May, who was half-conscious.

Unlike usual, the three returned to the dormitory quietly.

* * *

The taijutsu training continued without missing a day.

Even on Saturdays when there are no lectures, I had to do martial arts training. It was because of Kaul’s claim that if you rest for two days, you will lose your senses.

“At least I can rest for a day, so I should say I’m glad.”

Abel murmured in a strained voice.

When you do any training, you get used to it, and as you get used to it, it becomes less difficult.

However, Caul’s taijutsu training was an exception.

It’s because every time I thought I was used to it, I raised the difficulty level tightly.

Thanks to that, every training was always as hard as the first.

“That’s why the instructor must be serious about teaching us.”

At that time, Daniel answered Abel’s muttering.

Daniel seemed in a better mood than usual, and the reason was obvious.

“Does that make you feel great for saying that?”

“I? why?”

“Why why? I guess it’s because I’m off training for the next week.”

At Abel’s words, Daniel smiled silently.

As said, there was no training for the next week.

It wasn’t because Kaul suddenly became merciful, or because he had other business to do.

said Daniel.

“A break is not a break. I have to practice.”

“Well, that’s right.”

From next week, it’s an outdoor practice.

Of course, he would be outside the academy, so he couldn’t train naturally.

“Still, I’m excited to go out. I’m worried too.”

“It probably won’t be easy. It’s just that everyone went to practice and went through all sorts of hardships before coming back.”

Abel said in a dry voice.

Many of the first-year students were excited like Daniel at the idea of going to practice outdoors.

Of course, it wasn’t that they didn’t know that they would go out and suffer.

Even though they knew it, they were expected to ride a Gigant and carry out their mission outside.

‘but… … .’

Abel hardened his face as if he had remembered something.

But then.

Someone shouted in a loud voice as they ran into the restaurant.

“Outdoor practice is here!”

With that one word, everyone’s attention turned to the boy who had brought the news.

The boy shouted loudly with a slightly flushed face.

“It’s the plains of Telif!”

Telif Plain.

The moment the words came out of the boy’s mouth, the reaction was exactly twofold.

Students still looking expectant. And students with hard faces.

Even if it was the former, the reason why the latter students had a hard face was simple.

It was because he had heard the notoriety of the plains of Telif.

It was the place where the biggest battle took place during the Great War in the past, and after the war, it was the place where the ‘Colossus’ took its place.

Originally, it was a place where people lived as well as a small city, but now it is difficult to find traces of people.

It’s a very unconventional place for practice.

But Abel wasn’t too surprised by the place called Telif Plain itself.

‘Anyway, the practice itself takes place on the outskirts of the plain.’

Of course, the academy didn’t choose it as a practice place without thinking.

There is already an area that has been completely ‘cleaned’ and can be used strictly for practice purposes only.

What Abel was worried about was not the place, but something else.

‘An enemy outside.’

In this practice, something more dangerous than the Wall of Glory was going to happen.
