I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

I was surprised for a while.

Abel responded politely.

“Leel. You are welcome to speak.”

This is a strict caste society.

It wouldn’t have known if he was inside the fence of the academy, but outside of it, Abel was just a commoner.

On the other hand, since the other party was the heir to a renowned samurai family, there was a distinct difference in status.

So Abel implicitly mentioned that he was a commoner.

“no. It is only natural to treat outstanding warriors as they deserve!”

But even after hearing Abel’s words, Reel didn’t care.

Rather, she also continued to speak politely to Abel.

‘The imperial language is quite good.’

Abel thought as he listened to her.

There were many languages on this continent.

The imperial language could be said to be in a position similar to modern English if one were to compare it with the languages of the earth.

As a result, many people wrote and learned.

Reel’s imperial language was such that there was no discomfort at all in conversation.

Although he had a foreign accent and his tone was very stiff.

‘The way he speaks is quite quaint.’

Even while thinking about that, Leel didn’t stop talking.

“The battle just before was very impressive. I thought I had a chance to win, but when I came to my senses, I was completely engrossed.”

“It was just luck.”

“Lucky… … . For a martial artist, that is also part of their skill. by the way.”

Leel looked around for a moment and then spoke softly.

“If you don’t mind, can we talk for a while before dinner?”

At her suggestion, Abel was deeply perplexed.

It was because it was a matter that could not be easily decided on its own.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to answer that myself.

“It’s good to interact with great people. Isn’t it?”

While the two were talking, Scarlett, who had taken a step back, stepped forward and said,

The target she spoke to wasn’t Leel, who had proposed first, but Alten Blaine, who was standing behind her.

Alten replied with a hearty laugh at Scarlett’s words.

“hahahaha, of course. The reason I brought Leel here in the first place is to let her experience the world. Above all, wouldn’t it be boring to hang out with old people like us?”

At the mention of an old man like ‘us,’ Scarlett’s forehead briefly grew a tendon, but she smiled and nodded.

“… … That’s right. It would be better to have a comfortable conversation in the drawing room.”

Scarlett said that and ordered a servant to direct the tour.

So, Abel and Reel followed the servant to the drawing room.

The drawing room was on the first floor, and it was a large and splendid place I had never seen before.

It appeared to be a place used to entertain important guests.

Abel sat across the table from Reel in awkward silence.

Leel spoke after the servant left refreshments and tea on the table.

“Did you feel uncomfortable asking for a conversation?”

At the sudden question, Abel responded with a smile even though he was taken aback.

“Not at all. Because I thought I would like to have a conversation with you.”

“okay! Fortunately, the.”

Leel looked visibly relieved at the answer.

“Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions?”

“yes. You are.”

Leel asked for permission and began pouring out the words as if he had been holding back until now.

“Is the weapon you used originally the same as the one you used today? Also, did you learn swordsmanship separately? It was very unique.”

“hmm. First of all, the weapon originally uses a longer and wider blade. That much.”

Abel drew a rough picture of it in the air.

Leel burst into admiration at him.

“It is very huge. Is there a reason you use a sword like that?”

“Ah, that.”

Originally, it was a weapon that I had chosen considering the swordsmanship I would acquire later, but I couldn’t honestly talk about it.

So Abel made up an answer by linking it to the second question.

“In the past, I accidentally learned a few swordsmanship from a retired mercenary. The weapon he was using was similar to the sword I just described.”

“indeed… … ! That’s why it feels so real.”

“That’s right.”

I couldn’t help but feel the realism.

In the first place, there was no other swordsmanship he had learned. From rolling at the bottom to after entering the academy.

It was simply a skill honed through countless practical experiences.

Still, Leel asked another question with blushing cheeks as if he was satisfied with Abel’s answer.

“The most impressive thing was the way he handled Gigant itself. It was as if I became one with Gigant.”

“hahahaha. Due to circumstances, I had the experience of driving Gigant from a young age. It wasn’t the right stuff.”

“May I ask what the situation is?”

It may have been an embarrassing question, but this time I wasn’t particularly taken aback.

It was because I had thought that this question would come up at least once beforehand and had finished organizing everything in my head.

Abel said in a calm voice.

“I am an orphan. I moved from bottom to bottom and did all sorts of things to make ends meet. On the way, I accidentally caught my eye and fought in an illegal arena riding a Gigant.”

“okay.”

Upon hearing Abel’s story, Leel nodded his head without any sense of rejection or resistance.

It was Abel who was surprised by such a reaction.

‘What is he?’

The story he just told was full of elements that would make a common aristocrat feel repulsed.

Even with the exception of Scarlett, most of them would have been openly uncomfortable.

Abel was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

“At that time, I risked my life to fight. As we continued to fight and fight, at some point, Gigant felt like one body. Of course, it must be an illusion.”

“no. Looking at the way you fight today, it really was just that. It’s to the extent that I’ve admired it several times.”

Reel shook her head at Abel’s words and praised him.

The more Abel talked, the more he couldn’t figure out what kind of person Reel was.

It was because he asked many questions too actively to simply share his battle impressions.

Leel opened his mouth cautiously, perhaps feeling something when Abel closed his mouth.

“I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable by asking too many questions.”

“Not at all.”

“I’m glad then. that… … .”

After a moment of hesitation, Leel said.

“I felt a lot in Dalian today. Not only did I still lack a lot, but I also thought that there are people of the same age who have already advanced like this.”

“Excessive praise… … .”

“So, can I contact you from time to time?”

“yes?”

Abel was surprised and asked back loudly.

Reel looked at Abel casually and spoke again.

“I am saying this with the hope that we will continue to communicate with each other.”

“Exchange is… … .”

“It is literally. We regularly engage in sparring and exchange letters.”

Hearing her words, Abel thought.

‘Is the culture of the United Kingdom very different from what I knew? Or is there any ulterior motive?’

When I thought about it, there was nothing like that.

If you dig deeper, there will be differences, but the general parts are much the same.

Of course, there was no such thing as suggesting that the heir of the aristocrat keep in touch with the commoner just because he had fought once.

When Abel is confused inside. Leel added a word.

“This is not the heir to the House of Blaine, but as a soldier. Please do not burden yourself with an answer.”

Reel’s eyes were very straight as she said that.

To the point where I was ashamed to think about what this meant to me.

In the end, after much thought, Abel opened his mouth.

“I am honored. If you interact regularly with a great person like Leel, you will learn a lot.”

“Is that true! thank you!”

Leel thanked him with his tongue twisting, perhaps finally feeling relaxed.

Abel smiled awkwardly and nodded.

No matter what, it was beneficial to interact with Leel.

Because there were no connections on the United Kingdom side.

In the first place, I always thought that I should put a line on the United Kingdom side, so it was a good thing.

“Oh, can I ask you a few more questions? Regarding the last technique used… … .”

Leel asked many questions after that.

Naturally, most of the topics were combat-related.

Abel, who was awkward at first, later had a pleasant conversation.

After all, it was a topic that Abel also liked.

smart-.

The conversation stopped after a knocking sound was heard.

“Two hours before dinner.”

As we chatted without hesitation, it seemed that it was not long until dinner.

“I should get up soon.”

“Ah yes!”

Leel stood up from his seat while showing a look of regret.

I had to wash up and change my clothes before dinner, so I had to prepare now so I could go at leisure.

“then.”

The two said goodbye and parted.

We’ll meet again at dinner anyway.

Abel thought as he followed the maid into the room.

‘Leel didn’t appear in the game.’

It’s not a small part, and it’s never even appeared in the game at all.

Of course, not everyone in this world is in the game.

Among the characters in the game, only a few hundred are mentioned by name.

In other words, it is a story that I have met people who have never appeared in the game.

but.

In the case of Leel, the story was a little different.

‘There was also an explanation about her family, and a knight belonging to her appeared as an important supporting character.’

family name. house owner. A knight who originally belonged to a family.

All these things appeared in the game, but only the heir was not named?

On top of that, Leel’s skills were outstanding even in Abel’s eyes.

Even if you come to the academy right away, you can be in the top ranks at once.

In other words, there is no reason not to appear.

So Abel had no choice but to come to one conclusion.

‘There is a high probability that Leel will die or go through something similar.’

Conclusion that there is a high probability that it is not that it did not appear, but that it is ‘unsuccessful’.

Having come to such a conclusion, Abel’s face had no choice but to harden.

‘At most, one year until the Blaine family goes extinct.’

That was the case when it was maxed out, and there was no chance that it would go extinct sooner.

The problem was that there was no way to let Reel know about it.

What shall I say?

Your family is going to be destroyed sooner or later, so take care of yourself?

Far from being believed, they were far more likely to feel insulted.

“The bath water is ready, can I guide you right away?”

After walking for some time, a maid asked him.

“yes. I will.”

Abel answered briefly and followed the maid straight to the bathroom.

And after a while, he murmured as he soaked himself in a bath full of hot water.

“If I intervene in any way, the repercussions will be great.”

Aside from the method, saving Leel was risky in many ways.

It was because the future that Abel knew could have been distorted.

‘but… … .’

Abel suddenly remembered the moment he had a conversation with Leel.

Those eyes that looked at you with pure passion.

‘first… … I’ll have to watch more.’

Unable to resolve his tangled thoughts, Abel slowly closed his eyes.
