I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

in deep darkness.

Blue light spread out and colored the surroundings brightly.

Abel stared blankly at the brilliant light, then slowly opened his eyes.

“ha.”

Abel let out a hot breath and eventually found a message flickering in the corner of his field of vision.

‘Rating up… … .’

Seeing the message, Abel was able to understand what he had just been through.

During the breathing exercise, Abel felt his senses expand.

At the time, I didn’t notice it because I was in a trance, but now I see that it happened as the grade itself rose.

Lupus said that it was simply a level of slightly improving efficiency, but in reality it was more than that.

It felt as if the level of breathing itself had risen to the next level.

“Well, that’s why the grade has risen at all.”

Abel muttered to himself and nodded.

‘At this level, I don’t mind looking for the second half right now.’

Abel’s original plan was to find the second half of the Optirum breathing method as quickly as possible, but after using the improved breathing method, it felt like there was no need for that.

With this alone, I thought that there would be no regrets in the magic part for a while.

– You seem to like it.

While I was thinking about that, Rufus started talking to me.

Abel nodded with a bright expression.

“okay. I like it quite a bit.”

– Is that enough?

After saying that, Rufus was silent for a while and then made a request.

-If you need help in that area in the future, I will do my best to help. Instead, they want to be rewarded.

“compensation?”

-Yes.

Abel pondered for a moment before answering.

“What do you want?”

-core.

“core? You’re not talking about Gigant’s core, are you?”

-Of course not.

“Hmm.”

Core is a word that has many meanings, but what Rufus was talking about was the core of a colossus or a fragment of a colossus.

It is also called a magic stone, and Gigant’s core is also made using the magic stone as a material.

“good. Then I’ll get one for you as soon as possible.”

Abel readily accepted the offer.

Cores vary widely in price depending on the type, but if you don’t know what Abel used to be on the streets in the past, you can get enough of them now.

In particular, there were many routes that could be obtained cheaply by using one’s network.

‘Above all, it’s better to have a price in some way.’

The relationship between Lupus and Abel was a transactional one.

A relationship that is far from fidelity or friendship.

In that respect, it was more comfortable for Abel to pay the price in some way rather than blindly receiving help.

– Thank you, master.

Rufus said as if he was satisfied with Abel’s answer.

– Then, I’m going to take a break.

“okay.”

With those words, Lupus became quiet again, and Abel started breathing again.

Until the recuperation period was over, I planned to continue the special training in breathing.

Just like that, silence returned to Abel’s room.

* * *

During recuperation, Abel’s routine was simple.

Eat, practice breathing, sleep, eat again, practice breathing and sleep.

It was on the last day of the recuperation period that such a change occurred in the treadmill-like daily life.

“Hmm.”

Abel looked at the huge sword leaning on the side of the room.

It was so large and thick that it looked more like a lump of metal than a sword.

“Fortunately, it’s not heavy… … .”

After muttering that, Abel raised his sword.

It didn’t feel as heavy as before. Just enough to hold and wield with both hands.

‘What is this identity?’

Naturally, Abel also tried to find out about the sword.

However, most of the sword’s abilities were sealed, so there was nothing to find out.

‘First of all, I’ll have to open the shapeshifter so I can check something.’

It was unreasonable to break the seal of this artifact belonging to the relic right now.

This is because this artifact requires a specific location as one of the sealing release conditions.

The place is outside the academy. It was also quite far away.

Looking at the current situation at the academy, going outside for the time being was unreasonable.

‘I should aim for vacation time.’

Abel looked around the sword and then leaned it against the wall again.

‘I’ll have to inquire about how to get there once the permit is released.’

Going out will resume soon.

The aftermath of this incident will not be as great as the last Wall of Glory incident.

From the outside, it seemed that the fragments of the giant had become more ferocious than before and withdrew.

Only a few knew the true truth.

The cadets and the instructors were thoroughly restrained.

Of course, that was the case with Abel.

Relatively easy decision on ownership and possession permission of relics included the price for cracking down on them.

‘Well, there’s nothing good about being openly exposed.’

Originally, the empire had many enemies. That’s why events that ordinary people don’t know about happen more often than expected.

‘Though that won’t last too long.’

Even peace has an end.

During vacation, an incident occurs in the Empire.

It was also a huge event that could turn the entire empire upside down.

‘At that time, everyone will realize that the peace they enjoy now is in jeopardy.’

Abel was also raising his strength as much as possible to prepare for that time.

‘From then on, grades weren’t the only problem.’

At that time, I would have to worry about survival, not grades.

You can’t just safely take classes inside the academy anymore.

If you think about it, now was a peaceful time in many ways.

Like just before a typhoon comes.

“Ah, it’s not like that… … .”

It didn’t reach the incident during vacation, but a fairly large incident was scheduled for a few weeks from now.

It is the runaway case of Henna.

‘That won’t be easy either.’

I had been looking for a solution for a while, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought.

“Whoa.”

Abel let out a deep sigh and rose from his seat.

I couldn’t sit in my room sighing all the time because I had a problem.

‘It would be perfect if I leave now.’

It was until noon on the last day that he was told to rest absolutely, so Abel simply put on his clothes and left the room.

When I came out, I saw a dormitory building full of energy as usual.

Looking at the faces of the cadets, it seemed as if they had already forgotten everything about the previous practice.

‘Well, if I can’t overcome that level of shock, I won’t be able to endure life in the academy.’

Unlike other academies, Del Modor Academy is focused on nurturing elite Gigant riders, so those who couldn’t keep up were left behind.

“Abel!”

As I was walking with dark thoughts, someone approached me calling for Abel.

I turned around and saw Daniel standing there.

‘Am I on the bad side of friendship… … .’

Abel thought to himself. For some reason, if anyone wanted to call it, it was Daniel.

“What are you doing? With a sullen look?”

“No, just.”

Since he couldn’t express his true feelings, Abel shook his head moderately.

“What, are you going to eat? Come with me.”

“okay.”

Daniel and Abel walked to the dining room together.

I came a little early, so the restaurant was quite empty.

“Are you going to train tonight?”

Just as I was about to get my food and sit down to start eating, Daniel approached me with a question.

Abel answered by putting down the spoon.

“It should be. Because I took a long break.”

“Then let’s go together tonight. Without you, it was a pity that there was no suitable opponent.”

“Henna?”

“These days, I don’t come out often at the public training grounds even though I’m doing other training. You were almost locked in a private training ground?”

“okay?”

The personal training ground Daniel was talking about was not a facility where Gigant could be operated like Abel’s, it was just a facility inside the training ground.

If it was a private training ground, it would be a type of training that others would not want to see.

‘Is it already starting?’

Abel knew what it was.

As part of her training, she overreacts to ‘family vision’ to quickly improve her skills, and that becomes the core of the runaway incident.

“Then see you at the training ground around 7 o’clock.”

“What are you going to do until then?”

“I’m going to take care of some things that have been pushed back.”

He had something to ask his supporter, Scarlett, and he had a promise with Temarin.

I decided to make a request after the practice was over, but I still haven’t been able to find it.

Daniel nodded as if he was moderately convinced and continued eating.

By the time I was almost finished eating.

“Abel. Do you have student Abel?”

Someone started calling Abel by name.

When Abel turned his head, he saw the academy staff he had seen several times.

“Here it is.”

“Ah, good. Please follow me for a while.”

“yes.”

The meal was almost finished, so Abel apologized to Daniel and stood up.

As I was about to leave the dormitory building, the staff explained why I had been called.

“Cadet Abel brought you a completed request from the Vulcanus Workshop that you commissioned. The goods were moved directly to your personal training ground.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Abel’s expression brightened as it was completed faster than expected.

‘I thought it would take another month if it was long.’

The production period is also a period, but basically, the Vulcanus workshop is always on the side of being pushed back.

So originally, it was not easy to put in a request.

Abel had a background in working there, so even though the commission itself was easy, I thought it would take quite a bit of time.

The staff said with a smile.

“That’s right. The studio staff will be waiting for you, so I think you better go right now.”

“yes. thank you.”

After Abel thanked me, he headed towards the training ground.

Walking at a fast pace, I soon saw a familiar training ground.

I approached it, unlocked the lock, and went inside. I saw a huge sword lying on one side.

Even at a glance, it was a look that could not be called a supply weapon.

And in front of him stood a familiar person.

“Abel!”

A woman waving her hand with a bright expression. It was none other than Kaya.

Abel approached and greeted her face to face.

“Kaya. What have you been up to here?”

“What is it? I’m here to deliver things.”

“What about the receptionist?”

“I should have a day off too.”

Saying that, Kaya grinned.

Abel replied with a smile on his face.

“Then you should rest, why are you working?”

“When you come out of the workshop, you take a break. Anyway, check things out. My heart is relieved to know if our water owner, no, the client, likes it.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s see.”

While exchanging jokes, Abel slowly walked around the sword.

The sword was huge.

I wasn’t saying this simply because it was for Gigant, it was bigger than a normal Gigant weapon.

‘It’s similar to the sword I got this time.’

It may have been a coincidence, but the appearance was similar to the artifact obtained from the ruins.

Abel followed the sword and turned it all the way around and said to Kaya.

“I can’t.”

“huh?”

Kaya was taken aback by Abel’s eyes.

“I should try it right away.”
