I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

There was a bright light on the other side of the dark hallway. Abel walked slowly towards the light.

-Waaa!

The shouts of the people grew closer and closer.

It wouldn’t be strange for a normal person to feel pressured, but Abel felt comfortable.

It feels like returning to a hometown that has remained vaguely in my memories.

thud! thud! thud-!

With each step, a heavy sound echoed like the sound of a heartbeat.

Abel followed the sound and moved forward as if possessed.

Before long, a bright light came from beyond Gigant’s field of vision and covered his whole body.

– Divinity of the academy! The youngest participant in this event! It’s Abel!

-Waaa!

– I bet on you! kid!

Doyle’s loud voice and the shouts of the people pierced his ears.

Abel grinned and raised both hands.

At the academy, it might seem arrogant, so I refrained from doing so, but it’s not necessary here.

-You’re full of guts!

Because this is a place where you return to a completely different grammar from the academy.

Still, you must not lose your temper in the excitement.

Abel was guided by the staff and moved to the stadium while maintaining moderate tension.

“This way!”

In the round of 16, two matches will be played simultaneously.

So, a square stadium was installed separately from the original main stadium, but even that was quite wide.

It was well over twice the size of an underground fighting arena.

‘It’s suitable.’

At least there was no space for this, so there was no limit to the attack.

Abel settled down on one side of the arena and looked the other way.

-Abel’s opponent! Lone wolf on the battlefield! A man who treats the mace as if it were his own body! This is James!

Needless to say, the opponent’s Gigant was the same as Abel’s. This is because everyone has to use what is given on the pitch.

There may be some adjustments during the game, but the general framework remains the same.

So Abel looked for other characteristics.

‘It’s mace.’

It is a very often used weapon.

When fighting barefoot, there is nothing like a spear, but the Gigant battle was a little different.

The biggest advantage of the spear is that even unskilled people can use it easily, but it is difficult to take advantage of that advantage in Gigant battles.

‘Because there are very few opponents who get hurt just by stabbing them with a spear.’

The enemy of Gigant is either a Gigant or a fragment of a giant.

Both of them are not opponents who can be attacked with moderately stabbed spears.

In that respect, mercenaries generally prefer blunt weapons.

First of all, if you hit it right, it can do a lot of damage.

-The players are fighting fiercely! It’s ugly!

Even in the midst of this, Doil was shouting his throat and inducing a response from the audience.

Abel grinned and relaxed slowly.

First of all, the opponent seemed to have no major characteristics other than the fact that he used a blunt weapon.

‘It’s the first time I’ve even heard the name.’

It was called a wolf on the battlefield and all, but that was probably a made-up nickname.

because I’ve never heard of it

‘Because I can’t introduce myself as a mercenary who used to roll around the battlefield.’

Of course, I didn’t mean to let my guard down just because the other person was unknown.

In the first place, if you are a mercenary who handles Gigant, it is a completely different job from general mercenaries.

Unlike the midget class, Tito class is still a gigant that requires some level of skill to handle.

In other words, there is a high probability that you have the basic skills.

If I approached it with the senses in the underground fighting arena, it was obvious that I would get hurt.

thump, thump, thump-!

Subsequently, Gigants were seen entering other stadiums.

On the other side, another moderator other than Doyle joined. It’s not that important.

– Well then, let’s start the battle soon!

Then, Doyle gave him a final preparation time, and Abel raised his senses while blocking out the sounds around him.

‘as soon as possible. But less impatience.’

The sword in his hand felt heavy.

A giant sword that can end a game with just one blow.

The opponent’s weapon had a similar personality, so he must have thought of getting a shot somehow.

– Ready yi yi!

Listening to Doyle’s voice, Abel slowly took a stand.

Carlton emphasized the importance of basic skills throughout, but when he said he was going to a tournament, he passed on some skills.

It was not a flashy skill, but it was a practical skill that could be used in practice.

Abel thought about those things and slowly raised his sword.

-start!

coo-!

A roar echoed along with Doyle’s voice.

This is because the two of them took a step forward almost at the same time.

Abel thrust his sword forward as he saw the opponent approaching at high speed.

Woo-woo-!

It sounded more like a blunt weapon than a sword, but the speed was negligible.

The mercenary hurriedly bent his body to the left and struck with a blunt weapon.

to attack the weapon.

Kaga gak gak!

However, Abel easily let go of the attack.

Since the blade itself was wide, it was not that difficult to shed an attack.

Abel swung his sword upward as if he was striking it at the same time as he let go of the attack, aiming for the opponent’s side.

-Keugh!

The opponent hurriedly blocked it with his left arm and stepped back.

Of course, it couldn’t be completely blocked. Because it didn’t seem unusual at first glance.

Instead of pursuing such an opponent, Abel widened his distance.

-Waaa!

-It’s hot!

The audience cheered for a game that was hotter than expected, but Abel had other thoughts.

‘Look at this.’

From the outside, it seemed like he was pushing it one-sidedly, but Abel felt something different.

The moment you get close to the opponent, the mana dissipates.

‘It wasn’t just specialized in melee combat.’

Perhaps what just happened is the other person’s vision.

It was easy to be deceived by the appearance of aiming for a one-hit kill and dragged it into a long battle.

But Abel saw through it right away.

Unfortunately for the other side.

thud.

Abel hit the ground hard and exhaled a long breath.

If the opponent wants a long game, it’s enough to do the opposite.

‘With a short battle.’

The newly raised mana went back and forth between Gigant and the body, gradually heating up.

‘Overflow.’

Feeling like your whole body is on fire.

Abel ran at high speed toward the opponent who was about to approach him again.

coo-!

That speed is well over twice as fast as before.

Seeing Abel approaching at an unexpected speed, the opponent hurriedly swung their weapons.

However, in Abel’s eyes, the trajectory was clearly visible.

Swoop!

There was no need to use technology.

Just by lightly shifting her balance to the right, Mace cut through the air in vain.

thud!

Abel stepped on the floor with his right foot and came to a sudden stop while swinging his sword with explosive power.

aaang!

A sharp roar rang out.

bang!

And then, a roar rang once again.

It was the sound of the opponent’s aircraft bouncing off and hitting the wall.

-Turn it off.

I must have forgotten to adjust the speaker, and a painful moan flowed through the other person’s machine.

“Whoop, whoop.”

Abel sighed and slowly moved towards it.

The mercenary tried to stand up when he saw that, but he couldn’t balance at all because he didn’t have enough strength.

All Abel had to do was to bring his sword to the core of the unsteady opponent.

-Gee, waiver… … .

Eventually, the declaration of surrender came out.

Abel suddenly realized that the arena was quiet.

Even Doyle’s voice, which had to shake Busan, could not be heard.

The moment I thought something was wrong.

-Waaa!

– Overwhelming! It was an overwhelming blow! Only a freshman cadet! Blown away a mercenary with a single blow!

Doyle’s voice flew into my ears with a tremendous shout.

I even thought about whether I should cover my ears for a moment.

Abel grinned at the cheers he hadn’t felt in a long time and raised his weapon-holding hand.

-Abel! Abel! Abel!

– I knew you would win!

While enjoying the time of victory like that.

Abel suddenly noticed someone in the VIP seats among the audience.

It was a woman with striking purple hair.

‘Who is it? I’m used to it?’

It didn’t immediately come to mind, but it looked quite familiar.

‘I’ll have to ask.’

With that appearance in mind, Abel responded more to the cheers of the audience before leaving the arena.

It was time to rest for the next game.

* * *

“Purple hair?”

“yes. It’s a VIP seat.”

“Ah, you mean Deborah-sama.”

“Deborah… … . Is that Deborah from the Deborah Company?”

“Is Deborah your friend? that’s right. Originally, even if I sent an invitation, he didn’t come often, but he came today for some reason.”

Abel made an interesting expression at Doyle’s words.

He remembered the name Deborah very well.

‘The best water owner in the game.’

Currently, Abel is supported by the Klein family, but considering the future, that was not enough.

Even though the Klein family’s financial power was at a level that could not be ignored, it was not enough to give him full support.

‘In the first place, what I want from the Klein family isn’t even financial support.’

In the long run, it was necessary to find a separate financial supporter.

Deborah was the best supporter you could possibly be.

“Hmm.”

“What is the hum? Try hard. do you know I wonder if I can stand out and get sponsored.”

“You have to work hard. It’s a race.”

Doyle smiled and nodded.

“It is beyond my expectations. It’s on a different level than when you were fighting in an underground arena, right?”

“At that time, it was a fist fight. I learned it at the academy, so I have to fight better.”

“How long have you been learning? Originally, you were the one with the talent. I should have brought him as a player somehow.”

“Then inspiration must have come after you with a hammer?”

“hahahaha. I guess so.”

Abel joked with Doyle and talked about the old days.

But then.

-Waaa!

A mighty roar echoed through the walls.

Doyle looked at him and said.

“Looks like it’s over. The cheers are quite loud.”

“Probably the violin.”

“A violin? your friend?”

“yes.”

“There are rumors that he is a genius, but… … .”

“Maybe he will be back soon.”

Abel said confidently.

It was because he was sure that the oolin would finish the game as quickly as he did.

cooong! thud! thud!

And that prediction was right.

The door to the waiting room opened with the sound of the ground shaking.

Iolin drove Gigant and stopped maneuvering in one corner of the waiting room.

Abel watched quietly, saw her get off, and said,

“how was it?”

“so so.”

And as soon as she answered, the host’s voice came from the doorway that had not yet been closed.

– Really! Overwhelming Victory! What is this! Two first year students are creating a cataclysm today!

Eolin’s cheeks turned red when he heard the sound.

Abel said with a grin.

“great job.”

“okay.”

After such a short conversation, Abel got up from his seat and said to Doyle.

“I will prepare myself soon.”

“okay. Next is the Eagle of the White Mountains.”

“Did you come up with that nickname yourself?”

“huh? I don’t know?”

“Looking at the rustic, I think it’s right?”

“Clumsy!”

“It’s true that you’re hot.”

“Eh. let’s not talk I go.”

Doyle shook his head and left the waiting room.

Abel giggled and headed to his Gigant.

I had enough rest, now it was time to prepare for the next game.

‘I think the opponent in the next match will be at the same level as the previous match.’

Abel looked at the brackets on the wall. What stands out is the next game.

So, they were the opponents of the 4th lecture.

One is a retired soldier who worked as a member of the punitive force. The other was a sophomore at the academy.

Coincidentally, the name was familiar to Abel as well.

Because he has always been one of the leading members of the game.

‘Percival of speed.’

It was a future recruitment target.
