I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

The longsword and twin swords that Abel and May had looked like ordinary weapons, but they were actually ‘artifacts’ that could be obtained from the ruins.

This artifact has the ability to transform, so it can be turned into a different type of weapon or even worn like armor.

Unlike when operating Gigant, Abel’s own combat power was not very high, so it was a necessary artifact.

The problem was this bracelet.

‘The artifact that came out of the original game was a circlet.’

Circlets, originally artifacts, could affect surrounding lifeforms.

It can amplify emotions and vice versa.

However, what Abel got was a bracelet, not a circlet.

You might think that only the shape is different, but the ability is the same, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Woo-woo-!

It was because the bracelet that emitted bright light was vibrating with an unusual sound.

The pilgrims who were approaching with their weapons looked wary when they saw it, and one of them stepped forward and said:

“I will make a suggestion.”

A figure who looked like a captain pointed to Abel’s arm.

“If you hand over the items you brought from the ruins, I will send them to you.”

Abel didn’t respond at all.

His nerves were focused on the bracelet, which reacted suddenly.

If you have a special ability like a game, it might be able to help you solve the current situation.

“You dare to choose the difficult path.”

However, the man seemed to take Abel’s silence as a refusal, and warned in a gloomy voice.

At the same time, the stopped pilgrims slowly walked forward and narrowed the distance.

Abel broke out in a cold sweat.

‘If I stay still, I have no choice but to be defeated. what way… … .’

As the encirclement narrowed, Abel tried to come up with a way.

But then.

aaang-!

Suddenly something rose from the ground.

The man who was slowly approaching Abel looked at him in surprise.

and the next moment.

Kwajik!

Blood spurted out with a terrifying sound.

“aaagh!”

Then a scream rang out.

It was the scream of a man who appeared to be none other than the captain.

He was holding onto one arm, but below the elbow was missing.

“An enemy, an enemy!”

Another shouted in place of the captain.

They hurriedly looked around, and soon found ‘it’.

charrr-!

It was a silver beast.

It was an appearance that could not be identified precisely as to what kind of species it was, but Abel felt inexplicably close to it.

Tadak!

The beast moved at high speed and stirred up the enemy camp.

The speed was very fast, but the enemies did not readily deal with it.

Standing at the center of the captain who lost his arm, he completely blocked the opportunity to attack.

Because of this, even the beast could not approach it recklessly and only circled around it as if on guard.

Abel, who was watching the situation, immediately came to his senses and said to May.

“let’s go!”

Mei immediately nodded, and the two ran frantically, leaving the pilgrims and the mysterious beast behind.

“Run away-!”

A voice shouted from behind, but there was no pursuer.

As he ran, Abel looked back and saw the beast blocking the path to keep the pilgrims from moving.

It was as if he was helping Abel escape.

“Huh, huh. What is that?”

Even while running, Mei asked with a confused expression.

“I don’t know!”

Of course, Abel didn’t know either.

The situation was so unfortunate that I thought it might have something to do with the bracelet, but it was just an expectation.

Maybe it has nothing to do with it at all.

Mei also nodded at first.

So Abel and May ran and ran.

There was no sign of being pursued, but I wasn’t vigilant.

how long did it run

By the time you squeeze out all the strength you have and the power you don’t have, it becomes difficult to breathe.

“Hoo-wook, whoo-wook. Let’s rest for a while.”

Abel made sure no one was around and told May.

Mei nodded her head without a word, as if she had reached her limit.

Abel held his breath against the tree.

“Whoa. I don’t think anyone is coming after me right now.”

In the meantime, Mei said that to Abel as if she was looking around with her magical powers.

Abel answered while wiping his sweat.

“I’m glad. But where is this place?”

“I don’t know… … . Because they all look the same.”

“I don’t think I can go back the way I came.”

If you go back and run into the pilgrims again, it will be a waste.

While taking a break, the two contemplated what to do.

By the time the sweat that soaked my body cooled down and my breathing gradually stabilized.

Tap-!

The nearby grass shook and I heard something running.

Abel and May immediately raised their weapons and stared in that direction.

However, what came out of the grass was completely unexpected.

“ah?”

Mei blinked in surprise.

Even Abel was surprised.

It was because it was none other than the silver beast that had come out of the grass.

Abel sprayed his magical powers to see if there were any beings pursuing him, but he didn’t feel the energy of a small animal, let alone a person.

Swoop-.

Abel turned his head again to examine the beast that was watching him, wagging its tail.

Its appearance resembled the fragments of a giant.

In that the body looked like metal rather than the skin of an ordinary creature, the figure of the beast was like a fragment of a giant.

Strangely, however, unlike when I saw the fragments of the giant, I felt a strange sense of intimacy.

It was as if my instincts were telling me.

that’s not the enemy

“Attack… … I don’t.”

Seeing that, Mei said a word.

True to its word, the beast appeared and stood still.

“I know.”

Abel answered with a nod of his head, pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“Have you ever helped us?”

I didn’t say this expecting a clear answer, but the result was unexpected.

The beast nodded up and down at Abel’s question.

When May saw that, her eyes widened and she looked at Abel.

“… … Are you listening?”

Abel asked again, and the beast nodded again.

Seeing that, Abel let out a sigh.

“Mmm.”

Circumstances made it clear that the beast had something to do with the ruins and, by extension, the bracelet.

However, carrying it like this was not the only problem.

Even if we were together right now, I didn’t know what would happen if I took them to the academy.

‘Even if I’m lucky, won’t they take me to do some research first?’

When Mei hesitates because she can’t answer right away.

Swoop.

Suddenly, the beast came and reached out with a paw on Abel’s sword.

Abel watched silently, unwilling to do something.

Then an amazing thing happened.

Cheerureuk-!

Suddenly, the beast’s body shattered into hundreds of metal cubes that began to cling to the sword.

When he came to his senses, Abel’s Claymore had become a huge sword wider than the palm of his hand.

“… … ?”

Abel raised his sword and looked at it with his mouth wide open.

However, the sword, which seemed incredibly heavy at first glance, lifted lightly.

‘Rather, it’s lighter than an ordinary sword.’

coo-!

But when I put it on the floor, it made a loud noise.

“… … .”

Apart from the weight that Abel felt, the weight of the sword itself was by no means light.

Mei was just blinking her eyes, wondering what the hell was going on.

However, since he couldn’t remain engrossed like this all this time, Abel came to his senses and opened his mouth.

“Combined with the sword… … I think you did?”

“… … Is that even possible?”

“I know… … .”

Of course, there was no way the two of them could come up with an answer.

Whoop-!

But then.

The sword began to vibrate violently.

At the same time, Abel, who was holding the sword, strangely felt that the sword was pointing to one side.

It’s like saying you have to go this way.

Abel told Mei openly about it.

She had already seen everything, so there was no reason to hide it.

“Let’s go first. Being in one place for too long is dangerous.”

Mei nodded with her original expressionless face, perhaps as if she had calmed down her embarrassing feelings in the meantime.

In response to Abel’s answer, he raised his sword moderately and moved again.

When about 10 minutes passed since the two of them moved like that.

Pass-.

Where the two had been standing for a while, two men appeared.

They were men who were exploring ruins around the same time as Abel.

“… … Is it outside?”

“Yes, yes.”

The taller and leaner of the two looked around and suddenly swung his fist.

aaang-!

With that blow, a nearby huge tree was shattered as it were.

As if that didn’t relieve his anger, the man almost plowed the ground nearby, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and spoke to the fat man.

“Contact the headquarters. that the operation had failed. Maybe the plan was leaked.”

“yes!”

After receiving the order, the fat man immediately ran somewhere.

The skinny man watched, then leaned his back against a nearby tree, clicking his tongue.

“It’s a sailor.”

I don’t know who it is, but it was a painful mistake to have the relic stolen this time.

The chance to get artifacts and damage the academy is gone.

“Is this also destiny?”

But he murmured in a low voice as he calmed down his annoyance.

There can be any number of mistakes.

The important thing is that the final plan succeeds, so don’t be swayed by it, even if you get annoyed.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Without knowing that he had erased the traces of the ‘passenger’ by causing a disturbance.

* * *

The tension of not knowing when to face the enemy. hunger and thirst.

But the hardest thing of all was the feeling of not knowing how much longer I had to walk.

The only comfort is that you are not alone.

“How much time has passed?”

Abel deliberately talked to May to wake up his drowsy mind.

Mei, who had been quietly walking for a while, answered.

“well… … First of all, the day must have passed.”

I couldn’t tell exactly because I didn’t have a watch, but it looked like that from Abel’s point of view.

The sun went down once and rose again.

He didn’t say when the two could arrive.

The more you hope, the more you will be disappointed.

I just walked in silence, enduring hunger and pain.

The moment I reached the top of a high hill with such perseverance.

Dig-!

Suddenly, a bright light penetrated my eyelids.

Unknowingly, the two hurriedly covered their eyes and raised their weapons. Could it be an enemy attack?

“Abel! may!”

But what I heard was something completely different.

Abel forced himself to look forward, frowning, and opened his mouth soon after learning the identity of his opponent.

“Instructor?”

There, Kaul was standing with the other instructors.

It was the end of a painful journey.
