I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

Del Modor is the best academy on the continent beyond the Empire.

The place where the academy is located is also an institution that can be called the heart of the empire, and its defenses are beyond imagination.

‘But nothing is perfect in this world.’

Abel thought as he ran, squeezing out the strength he had and the strength he didn’t have.

In the game, the academy does not live up to its reputation and suffers from numerous dangers.

Where is the academy?

The same goes for the Empire, which has maintained its position as the first river in the continent for decades after the Great War.

It was only a few months ago that the wall of glory that had never been breached before was breached.

Even that is just the beginning.

This world will soon enter an era of full-scale chaos.

I couldn’t even complain why it was happening right now.

‘Because it’s such a game in the first place.’

Because Abel already knew.

If he hadn’t known that, Abel would have been satisfied with his position as a Gigant mechanic.

However, knowing the future of this world, he entered the academy with great enthusiasm.

Rather than being swept away by the coming chaos, he wanted to get through it himself.

Kwaaang-!

A roar erupted right behind Abel, who was running hard.

He could feel Henna shaking as he held his hand, but Abel didn’t stop.

“Just a little further!”

Instead, he cheered for Henna with a confident voice.

Due to this incident, a cataclysm comes to the academy.

The fact that that hideous monster was sleeping in the academy means that someone secretly brought it in.

‘Besides, the academy’s response is disastrous.’

If the response system had been firmly established, there would not have been a point where he was running like crazy right now.

Considering that there were so many powerful people who could be called ‘monsters’ in the academy, it was a truly disastrous situation.

Behind that, there must have been confidence that the academy would not be attacked from the inside, not from the outside.

‘In that sense, this case can be said to be a good vaccination.’

It is not that the damage has not occurred, but it will be only a minor level if you look at it as a whole.

Hena’s reckless suppression was also suppressed early, and even the monsters were ‘led in’ by Abel himself.

If Abel hadn’t immediately run away with Henna, the outcome would have been obvious.

Even if the monsters were only aiming for henna, there must have been human casualties in the process.

However, calculating such gains and losses is another story.

It means nothing if we don’t overcome this crisis right away.

“Come this way!”

Abel ran and ran, dragging Henna. And finally.

coo-!

From far away came a noise distinctly different from the roar he had heard before.

Henna didn’t seem to notice that, but Abel ran in that direction with a bright expression on his face.

When I passed through such a curved road and entered a long hallway.

aaang-!

I saw the monster sticking to the wall. And in the place where I slightly moved my gaze, there was Gigant fighting against the monster.

A small sized gigant. It was Tito.

I didn’t pay much attention to it after operating Milles, but Gigant is Gigant.

The monsters who had made Abel and Hena feel threatened for their lives were falling like autumn leaves at Gigant’s punches.

-backwards!

“yes!”

Abel gathered the last of his strength and ran behind Gigant.

coo-!

Immediately after that, Gigant changed his stance and began swinging his fists indiscriminately at the monsters running.

“Hook, hook.”

Abel had to fall back before he could stop and catch his breath.

His lungs were about to burst and his legs were shaking like aspen trees.

But even in the midst of that, Abel did not stop grasping the situation.

‘It’s amazing.’

In the midst of running away for a while, I didn’t know, but the number of monsters seemed to be over twenty.

It was terrifying to think that if I had accidentally stumbled, I would have been surrounded by those monsters.

Abel wiped sweat with the back of his hand and looked to the side.

“Henna, are you okay?”

“Yes.”

Henna nodded with a pale complexion. Of course, it didn’t look good at all.

Abel was quite confident in his physical strength, but the henna was just average.

He was probably in worse condition than Abel.

‘I must have run with all my might.’

Fortunately, there was no sign of a runaway from her anymore.

thump, thump, thump-!

In addition, a number of Gigant appeared soon after.

Some joined Gigant, whom we saw earlier, to deal with the monsters, and the rest ran straight ahead.

Abel was able to completely put his mind at ease after seeing that scene.

‘Did it end well somehow?’

The side where the incident broke out in the first place won’t have to worry.

After Abel ran away, the faculty would have woken up.

Most of the monsters were after Abel, so even if there were one or two, they would have been quickly subdued.

Abel let go of the tension and sat down with his back leaning against the wall.

Henna also sat next to him without a word and breathed heavily.

“Abel, henna-!”

some time after that.

A voice was heard calling the names of Abel and Hena.

It was the sound that signaled the end of the case.

* * *

The academy turned upside down.

Even after the Wall of Glory incident or the unfortunate incident in practice, the atmosphere was turbulent, but it was incomparable to this one.

All schedules and events were canceled, and even all lectures were canceled.

Of course, it was a story that applies to all grades, not just the first grade.

The atmosphere was very bloody without anything to look at, and there were even talks about whether this semester itself would fly away.

Abel, who knew how the outcome would play out, was not particularly swayed by the atmosphere around him, but the others were different.

“Honestly, I don’t understand.”

Daniel said with his arms crossed.

Abel asked, taking his eyes off the book.

“what?”

“It was like the academy was attacked, and frankly, the response was very insufficient from our point of view, right? I want that to make sense.”

The place where the two of them were now was none other than Abel’s room.

Abel looked at Daniel, who suddenly burst into the room and started talking.

“Why can’t you talk?”

“that is… … Are you del modor?”

It was too insufficient to answer the question, but on the other hand, it was also understandable.

The name Del Modor has such weight.

In other words, the attack on the academy is equivalent to an attack on one of the most important facilities in the empire.

But instead of sympathy, Abel shook his head in response.

“I think it was something that could happen anytime.”

“why?”

“Because the academy has never been raided.”

Abel explained further to Daniel, who still didn’t seem to understand.

“That means the preparation was neglected. In a word, he was careless.”

In fact, there were quite a few reasons to be vigilant.

Abel also briefly summarized it.

“First of all, the academy is not an attractive raid target.”

Basically, most of the faculty members are half-retired from the front line, and there are no cadets who can force themselves to attack them.

‘Because the academy doesn’t have any successors to the imperial family, noble families or important organizations.’

Most of those who enter the academy are far from successors, even if they are from the famous ‘Imperial’ family, and are strictly based on their skills.

“Even if we attack there, it’s hard to see a big benefit.”

“Why?”

“Because this is where Gigant Riders are trained.”

“ah!”

Daniel nodded as if he understood right away this time.

As Abel said, Del Modor is an academy that nurtures Gigant Riders.

In other words, Gigant is everywhere. That’s why the risk is bound to be great.

‘Actually, this incident would be no different from a disaster for the person who plotted it.’

The monsters who followed Hena and Abel were only awakened by coincidence.

Originally, it meant that it was asleep for another purpose.

“Last time there… … .”

Abel paused for a moment, then finished his story briefly.

“A raid from the inside would be even more unimaginable.”

In fact, the biggest reason for the lack of response from the academy.

It was because the culprit behind all of this was none other than Hena, an academy cadet.

Hena, the heir to the Duchy of Del Kior.

An ordinary cadet who should have no reason or power to attack the academy.

From the standpoint of the academy, it must have been an unexpected disaster.

If Abel hadn’t stepped in and stopped the situation from getting worse, Hena would have been severely punished.

Conversely, because Abel stepped in, Henna would not have been punished severely.

“but. But what the hell are the attackers doing?”

“I know.”

Abel chimed in moderately.

As you can see from Daniel’s words, the cause of this incident was thoroughly put into ignorance.

There will be several reasons for that.

First of all, Duke Del Kior would have personally stepped forward and promised a huge donation to the academy.

Maybe he made a separate deal with the imperial family.

It’s not because the duke is simply an idiot, it’s because Hena is the heir to the duchy.

‘Even the appearance of the monster must be lucky for Henna.’

It was a nuisance at the time, but their presence drew all the attention to it.

Of course, the academy was also intensively digging into it.

And finally, there was no reason for the academy to let go of henna.

This is because the power of henna can be a great weapon if used well.

Rather than inflicting friction with the dukedom by punishing them, he would have judged that it would be more beneficial to erase the debt.

Abel shook his head and opened his mouth when he realized that Daniel was still standing with his back against the wall.

“But you’re not going back, what are you doing?”

“By Bored. The training ground is now closed.”

“You know the test isn’t over yet, right?”

“no way. I don’t know when it might reopen. I will let you know in a few days.”

Abel shook his head at Daniel’s calm reply.

It was clear that he was whining about the difficulty of the test, but he was truly optimistic.

From Daniel’s point of view, Abel, who is working hard on his studies in this situation, will seem even more strange.

Abel gave up expelling Daniel and buried his head in his book again.

The past is the past.

Right now, we have to do what we can.

Behind him, he heard Daniel’s muttering voice.

“Something… … It’s complicated.”

It was a heavy voice, not like his usual.

Soon after, Daniel left Abel’s room saying he was going back.

Several days have passed since then.

Henna went for an investigation immediately after the incident and did not return.

The exams and lectures still showed no signs of resuming, and the atmosphere naturally became more turbulent.

Then, around the time rumors spread that the semester might end in the middle.

smart-.

Someone knocked on Abel’s door.

Abel got up and opened the door, but when he saw a paper bag slipping under the door, he bent down.

On the envelope was written none other than the Cline family crest.

Abel immediately opened the envelope and checked its contents.

The content of the letter was short, so Abel read it through in one go, and immediately nodded.

There was written information about the ‘mercenary’ that Abel had requested.

Abel immediately folded the letter and put it in his bosom, then changed into street clothes.

‘I’ll have to find a way to get out and come back somehow.’

I have work to do. That’s a very important thing too.
