I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

Abel immediately locked the door and sat down at his desk with the envelope.

‘It’s faster than expected.’

When I entrusted the request, I thought it would take several months at the longest, but it was much faster than I thought.

Because of that, Abel did not have high expectations.

‘Well, it must be like an interim report.’

Thinking so, Abel opened the envelope and took out the paper inside.

The paper was filled with unusual characters, but it was neither the language of the empire nor the language of another kingdom.

‘As expected, it’s written in password.’

It was the cipher text used by the organization Abel commissioned.

“It’s tricky, after all… … .”

Even if you find out its existence and contact method and entrust the request, you will not be able to obtain the information you want if you cannot interpret this cipher text.

The reason why the ‘intelligence organization’, which had to go through such an uncomfortable process, was able to continue to exist was simple.

This is because of its high level of information and reliability.

‘There’s no way for information to leak in the middle.’

Even if it was written in ciphertext, Abel had no problem.

It was because he had memorized the entire rules of the ciphertext analyzed by other users.

“Let’s see.”

Abel read the letter, slowly remembering the rule.

[This is an interim report on your request.]

As expected, it was an interim report.

It contained information about the internal affairs of the United Kingdom, most of which could be known to outsiders.

Of course, that was only the standard for a person with a good situation, and it was very useful information for Abel.

‘I thought the faction was divided into three, but it’s more serious than I thought.’

Currently, the United Kingdom is largely divided into three powers, and they are in the midst of conflict.

There was no big battle yet to be seen on the outside, but all sorts of scheming and scheming were going on behind the scenes.

He also said that many neutral families and forces were under pressure in the process.

It’s like choosing one faction.

‘It’s a common thing.’

Neutral powers will continue to say that they will remain neutral, but each power has no choice but to be a thorn in the eye.

If you suddenly go to another faction and join it, there won’t be such a loss.

After several years of such pressure, it was said that at this point, a significant number of factions had broken neutrality.

There are very few left.

The Blaine family was one of those few families.

“Hmm… … .”

Abel stroked his chin.

It was because after reading the contents, I thought that the Blaine family was in a fairly special position among the neutral forces.

‘First of all, he’s the tallest.’

In general, those who advocated neutrality were mostly small families and groups.

To be exact, it is more like a bat that sticks here and there in order to reduce damage as much as possible and gain gains.

The Blaine family, on the other hand, had a completely different personality from him.

‘It’s like a lofty crane.’

mighty force. Long history and widespread reputation.

In addition, the current family head and successor are also known for their outstanding abilities.

In addition, recently, they even trained their own Gigant riders to withstand the pressure around them.

The more I thought about it, the more I came to a conclusion.

“This is not just a thorn in the eye… … .”

The Blaine family’s extinction is inevitable.

Of course, that was only from Abel’s point of view.

At first glance, the current United Kingdom was in an exquisite balance of three powers, and neither side could do anything extreme.

It was because of that background that the Blaine family continued to maintain neutrality and grow in size.

The problem was that the balance of power was broken within a year.

‘No, there’s less than a year left.’

One of the three powers collapses in half, and the other two absorb it, while the conflict intensifies and reaches the level of civil war.

And after more time, the civil war also ends with a victory on one side.

But that didn’t mean peace.

‘The United Kingdom, whose forces are completely unified, reveals its ambitions in earnest… … It was.’

Because Abel knew such a future, he had no choice but to interpret the Blaine family’s situation pessimistically.

Even in the game in the first place, the demise of the Blaine family was an unavoidable future.

“Mmm.”

Abel continued to read the letter, rubbing his throbbing temples.

After the overall situation of the United Kingdom, some small information was written.

The kind of information that doesn’t help much right now.

However, what was written on the ‘back’ of the letter was different.

There, the contents of Abel’s second request were written.

It was about the ‘imprint’ engraved on Henna’s ankle.

‘I thought this would take longer.’

Abel leaned forward and read the text written on the back.

The very first sentence started like this.

[Report on the imprint of domination.]

stamp of domination.

That was the cause of this outrage and the name of the pattern engraved on Henna’s ankle.

No matter how much I searched in the game, only the name and side effects came out.

So, of course, I thought it would be difficult to find and commissioned it without much expectation, but surprisingly, the contents written were quite detailed.

[The mark of dominance is both a blessing and a curse passed down through generations of the Del Kior family.]

[As for its origin, it can be said to be ‘Ahishacht Del Kior’, the founder of the Del Kior family.]

[Ahishacht del Kior did not stand out much until the contract was signed, but the situation changed after visiting the Jaran region, which was considered an unknown land at the time.]

[According to the surviving records, Ahishacht del Kior suddenly gained tremendous prominence in magic after the expedition.]

[He was especially famous for his ‘unhuman-like magical power’ and ability to control… … .]

The amount of magical power unlike a human and excellent control ability.

It was also a part that matched the characteristics of henna.

Abel continued reading.

Unfortunately, however, the important contents were concentrated in the front, and the latter were mostly peripheral contents.

He bit his lip once and summarized the facts he learned first.

-The imprint of dominance is a ‘characteristic’ passed down from generation to generation in the Del Kior family.

Originally, Del Kior did not hide its existence, but rather proudly revealed it, but in recent decades, it has begun to erase its traces.

-Also, the current head of the house, Duke Del Kior, showed great talent in magic when he was young, but at some point he started to focus on martial arts.

As Abel went through the details step by step, he remembered one thing he was certain about.

‘I guess it’s an established fact that the imprint of control is related to the giant god.’

I had already thought “Isn’t that so?” from a long time ago, but now I’m sure.

The time when Duke Del Kior began to focus on nothingness was after the giant was active in earnest.

It was around that time that the traces of the imprint of domination began to be erased.

Henna was born after that.

also… … .

The imprint of dominance ‘reacts’ intensely with the colossus and its fragments.

As far as I know right now, that’s about it.

“Whoa.”

Abel let out a short sigh and first put the letter and the paper he had written down on one side neatly.

‘They said they were investigating the Del Kior family, so I’ll have to wait first.’

It couldn’t be said to be a huge income right away, but it was clear that the intelligence organization’s ability was beyond expectations.

There was also a note at the end of the letter saying that they had obtained a clue about the whereabouts of the requested item, so there was no need to be disappointed.

“good.”

Abel slapped his cheek, got up, and changed into his training clothes.

When your head is complicated, moving your body is the best.

If you keep thinking about it, it will only make your head hurt.

After changing his clothes, Abel headed straight to the training ground.

With the anxiety buried deep in the heart.

* * *

Midterm exam week is approaching in two days.

In other words, it means that there are only two days left until the runaway of henna.

“Haap!”

in such a situation.

Abel was brandishing a sword.

Woo-woo-!

The sound of the wind rang out every time he swung his sword.

It was because he was wielding a huge sword obtained from the ruins, not a practice sword.

widely!

Abel’s strength was above average, but he wasn’t monstrous like some of the cadets.

Unless you know when riding Gigant, it was obviously impossible to handle the giant sword freely with your bare body.

Tadak!

But that didn’t matter too much.

If you recklessly wield it with force, it will only damage your body and Gigant.

The important thing is to know the tricks.

For example, when you strike a sword from top to bottom, don’t think that you are just raising and lowering the sword.

thud!

He stepped on the ground strongly and raised his sword high while bouncing his body like a spring.

Whoa!

When the sword points to the ceiling, this time, on the contrary, it does not go against its weight and uses its current as it is.

So, right before the sword strikes the floor, he raises the sword diagonally and cuts it while turning his waist and torso sideways.

Whoa!

Does the sword move the body, or does the body move the sword?

Abel didn’t bother to differentiate between them.

Instead, I thought of only one flow.

Like a river that flows without stopping. The sword slashed, struck, and smashed imaginary enemies nonstop along the way.

Whoops-!

“ah.”

Abel, who had been immersed for a while, came to his senses with a roar.

In the middle, the power was lost in the hand, and the missed sword flew far away.

Abel immediately went to pick up the sword, but frowned at the throbbing pain.

Looking down, I saw a bloody palm.

At first glance, the condition of the palm looked the most serious, but in reality, the condition of the body was also the same.

Because every muscle in my body was screaming.

-Now you’ve come to your senses.

Then, a voice rang in my head.

It was Lupus’ voice.

“What did you say?”

-I told you to stop. If you do, your body will break down. I think I ate it a bit late.

“Right.”

Abel tried to wipe the sweat with the palm of his hand, but stopped when he saw the flowing blood.

Then, he held the cloth on one side and wrapped it around his palm.

“How much time has passed?”

-well. It seems to me that at least two hours have passed.

That would mean that it was actually over 2 hours.

When I first started training, Lupus was obviously asleep.

-master. Trying to focus on unsolvable problems will only ruin your mind.

Abel, who had been absentmindedly, smiled at Rufus’ advice.

“Looks like I’m not very well. As long as you can give me some advice.”

– Not very high level. We recommend taking a break for a few days right now.

“is it.”

Abel answered every word, but his mind seemed to be heading somewhere else.

But even for a while.

Soon he left the training ground with his weapon on his back.

The stuffiness wasn’t relieved, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t stay at the training ground forever.

As he left the training ground and headed for his room, someone called him and stopped him.

“Abel! Are you going to class today?”

It was henna.

Abel stopped and nodded at the sight of her speaking in a cheerful voice as always.

“It should be.”

“are you okay? Aren’t you supposed to get some rest? You look a little tired from the past few days.”

“no. After the exam, you should get some rest.”

“but. See you then.”

Hena nodded as if she understood Abel’s answer.

Abel said goodbye to her and moved on again.

After passing through the hall and climbing the stairs, when I finally arrived at the front door.

he saw

An unidentified box placed in front of the door.
