Gigant is walking with the moonlight on his back.

The members of the ambush, who had been fiercely swinging their swords until just now, all scattered when Gigant appeared.

Khuong- Kung-!

Abel thought as he watched Gigant approaching.

before entering the forest.

I had a lot of plans in my head.

Some of them were very complicated, and I was more inclined toward them at first.

It was because he knew that the assistants who had ambushed on the way to his destination were all over the place.

However, after checking the faces of the members, I changed my mind once again.

Do we really need a complex plan?

I don’t know if the goal is to defeat all the ambush people, but at this stage, I just need to somehow get on the Gigant in the early hours.

More importantly, it was not necessary for everyone to arrive at their destination.

‘Because the moment even one person gets on the Gigant in the first place, the prepared trap has no meaning.’

Even if a huge rock blocks the road, even if trained hounds chase after you.

At least, even if the ambush assistants came swinging their swords.

The moment Gigant appears, all traps lose their meaning.

So Abel chose a very simple plan.

Send Daniel, who is the fastest and has the best stamina, first, and hold on until he returns.

And Abel’s plan worked perfectly.

coo-!

After approaching the appropriate distance, Gigant carefully bent down and held out his hand.

“let’s go.”

After exchanging glances with the others, Abel climbed onto the palm of his hand.

Regardless of believing in Daniel, it took a lot of courage to move while riding on Gigant’s palm.

So, Abel was the first to get on and looked at the other cadets.

“Come up carefully.”

As soon as she could speak, Mei jumped up, and Qalian immediately followed as if she couldn’t lose.

“Darin.”

Finally, Darin, who had a frightened expression on his face, climbed on with the help of May and Abel.

wheee-.

Daniel very carefully maneuvered the Gigant to lift the people, and then started walking on the other side again.

Climbing up on the palm of my hand, I saw a destination that was hidden between trees.

‘He was there.’

The destination was closer than I thought.

A red flag was planted in the middle of the clearing, and Gigant was right there.

‘They’re all low-end machines.’

I’d have to go up close to see for sure, but I could guess just from the appearance.

That there was no aircraft dedicated to each cadet.

Of course, I already knew this, but I couldn’t help but be disappointed because it was true that I had high expectations.

But Abel quickly calmed the disappointment deep in his heart.

Khuong, kung-.

Gigant moved all the way forward.

Unlike when he went barefoot with a heavy sense of tension, the scenery he saw from Gigant’s point of view was very refreshing.

Not long after, Daniel stopped in front of his destination and placed his hand on the floor as carefully as before.

“Whoa.”

The cadets let out a sigh of relief and landed on the floor.

“There is only Gigant.”

Abel looked around and said.

In the empty lot they arrived at, only four Gigant were lying side by side.

It probably wasn’t there in the first place. Abel was convinced by the footprints left around him.

‘It must have been a while since they withdrew.’

Maybe he was watching the clearing around here.

It’s not terribly important.

Abel opened his mouth again.

“There doesn’t seem to be a big difference between aircraft, so let’s type in order from the left.”

“okay.”

“okay.”

“Yes.”

While Daniel was looking around as if he was on guard while riding the Gigant, Abel got on the Gigant.

Ugh-.

After climbing into the cockpit, I placed both hands on the core and infused magic power, and a response came immediately.

Woo woo woo woo.

The mana in the body spread to the aircraft through the core, then returned and spread again.

As the link of solidarity was formed, Abel’s senses gradually began to expand.

It was quite familiar by now, so Abel calmed down his elation and moved Gigant.

cooong!

As I raised my body with both arms on the ground, my vision shot upward in an instant.

After balancing and stepping on the ground with both feet, information about the surrounding area flooded into my head like a tidal wave.

This is a forest.

The fact that there was a fairly wide forest meant that this was the beginning.

‘To be exact, it’s the Orteol Forest right next to the Telif Plain.’

Up to this point, Abel and the cadets went through two stages.

The first is an attack while getting into a car. The second is to arrive at the destination and board the Gigant.

And now we are on our way to the third step.

The practice was divided into several stages, but the first two stages were only a light warm-up if you insist.

In other words, the real practice starts now.

Koo-Woong, Kung-!

The other cadets completed the operation of the Gigant one by one and rose from their seats.

When the operation was completed until the last one like that.

thud!

A small vibration echoed not far away.

I turned around and a Wen Tito-class Gigant appeared, dropped something on the floor, and disappeared again.

It was such a rapid movement that it was difficult to even say a word, let alone chase after it.

The cadets from Gigant exchanged glances with each other, then looked at the black cube lying on the floor.

-I… … I’ll check.

Darin, who was standing closest to the cube, said that, and then moved closer and reached out to the cube.

Darin picked it up carefully, as if touching an explosive.

Fortunately, there was no such thing as the cube exploding.

Instead, a small light stretched out.

Dig-.

The light emanating from the cube pointed in one direction and then disappeared without a trace.

Darin didn’t show it outwardly, but he paused in surprise, then went back to playing with the cube.

Dig!

Then the light came out again.

Darin confirmed it and said.

-It seems like light comes out when you inject magical power.

At that, Daniel made a request.

– Hmm. Do you want to keep moving while injecting once?

-Yes.

Darin walked slowly sideways and waved his arms around.

Even though the location changed, the cube continued to point in the same direction.

By that time, everyone realized.

-I think the place the light is pointing to is the next destination?

– I guess so.

In other words, the cube is a kind of navigation.

After the cadets talked about the future with the cube, they came to a conclusion.

-Then let’s continue to keep the cube Darin has, and let’s move the formation as before.

-okay.

After making a decision, I immediately started moving.

Of course, riding Gigant did not put all my worries down.

Rather, even though everyone didn’t say anything, they raised their guard more than before.

It was because there was a high probability that the test he would encounter in the future would be dangerous as long as he was on the Gigant.

Abel, of course, was aware of all the developments ahead.

‘It’s safe until you get out of the forest. There are no attacks and no traps. but… … .’

From the moment you leave the forest and enter the plains, practice will begin in earnest.

Gigant combat practice.

Kung, Kung, Koo-.

The five Gigants with the cadets soon reached the outskirts of the forest.

Abel told the other cadets before heading out of the woods.

-My prediction is that there will be a high probability of fighting in earnest from now on. Weren’t you too quiet before?

It wasn’t a story with a clear basis, but everyone nodded.

Abel continued to speak.

-First of all, I’ll move while checking if there are any other traces in the front. Everyone, keep vigilance on both sides and behind.

-okay.

-Ah Okay.

-i get it.

-huh.

After hearing everyone’s answers, Abel was the first to set foot on the plain.

The plain was still.

I couldn’t hear the footsteps of the other Gigant, nor the cries of the fragments of the giant.

The quiet situation only made me feel more anxious.

‘It’s quiet.’

Abel walked forward with his basic weapon, the sword, in his hand.

Huge footprints were left here and there on the plain.

There were so many traces of this and that that it seemed quite difficult to distinguish the important ones, but Abel did it without difficulty.

It was because he studied related knowledge for ‘survival’ before entering the academy.

‘Recently, the only traces left are the footprints of Tito-class Gigant.’

Naturally, Abel thought of Tito, who had left the cube earlier.

Of course, that period belonged to the academy.

So, the fact that Tito’s footprints were left around here meant that there was a high probability that there was something not far away, and it was highly likely that it was a ‘debris of a giant’.

However, it was impossible to determine exactly which species it was.

‘Which fragments appeared in the game was random.’

Regardless of which route, the prepared fragments of the giant were random.

It’s probably because the game itself was basically designed for multiple rounds.

It’ll get boring if you keep having to deal with the same monsters on the same road.

Of course, it was only a painful factor for Abel, who entered the world of such a game.

‘Still, not everyone lacks strength, so there won’t be much trouble at this stage.’

Abel thought so and continued walking forward.

As if the morning sun was about to rise, the distant horizon began to slowly brighten.

‘I wish I could fight after the sun rises for a while.’

The moon was bright, so I could see to some extent, but there was a big difference between being bright and not.

Especially since most of the fragments of the giants are bright at night.

But Abel’s wish did not come true.

Deed deed deed deed-.

Suddenly, the ground began to vibrate.

The eyes of the cadets, including Abel, were directed to exactly one point.

– Not one!

Qalian shouted in a loud voice.

As the saying goes, the vibration that shook the earth was never at a level that one animal could create.

As everyone quickly formed into battle formation, Abel could see what appeared on the horizon.

-Ironwolf overcrowded!

A pack of silver-shining wolves was charging furiously at them.

Although the power of each one is far inferior to that of the bladed tail, the danger was incomparable.

Ironwolf, as its name suggests, has characteristics and appearances similar to those of wolves.

In other words, it means a species that hunts in packs.

– It’s hot right from the start.

Abel raised his sword and stepped forward.

It was clear that it would not be an easy battle. But ahead of the battle, the excitement outweighed the tension.

And at the same time, the pattern engraved on Abel’s chest flickered faintly.

-let’s go!

Without realizing it, Abel shouted as he raised his weapon.
