I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

The carriages ran along well-maintained roads.

The forest on either side was shining brightly in the sunlight.

It was a landscape that would leave you mesmerized just by looking at it.

“Are you halfway there now?”

Abel, who was checking his future plans while looking out the window, turned his head to Daniel’s voice.

“huh. About half way.”

“I think it took quite a while to come, but going back is an instant.”

Abel laughed at the strangely regretful tone.

“Are you sorry to go back?”

“is it? It seems so.”

Daniel also nodded without denying it.

Originally, the way to play feels like there is no time due to the anticipation and excitement, and the way back is in an instant.

It was also reflected in the faces of others.

Except for Mei, who is still sleeping.

‘Sleep really well.’

It was amazing how he slept so well.

It’s a matter of the past, and in fact, wouldn’t it be that he really likes sleeping from the beginning?

“Yeah!”

While thinking about that, Abel flinched at the strange sound.

It was May who had been sleeping for a long time.

She opened her eyes and quickly looked left and right as if looking for something.

“Hey, where are you?”

“Where are you? Not in the carriage.”

“Did you have any dreams?”

Daniel gave a bruise, and Darin spoke to May in a sweet voice.

Mei rolled her eyes with a confused expression, then opened her mouth.

“No wagon… … . carriage… … ?”

Mei, who muttered in a low voice, raised her head again as if she had remembered something.

“Dangerous.”

“what?”

While the other children looked puzzled, Abel’s loose face hardened.

An idea suddenly came to mind from May’s reaction.

‘no way… … ?’

It seems to be sleeping, but suddenly wakes up and makes a strange noise.

One of Mei’s characteristics depicted in the game.

It was Mei’s unique ability.

“uh? It seems to be slowing down?”

“What is going on?”

At that time, the speed of the wagon slowly began to decrease.

Without hesitation, Abel took out the artifact he had put in his front pocket and held it in his hand.

Apart from her genius, Mei had a very special ability.

It takes a long time to fully awaken, but sometimes Mei uses that ability without realizing it.

The ability to ‘predict the future’.

‘Actually, there are some restrictions, but they are definitely classified as S-class.’

Although the classification itself was created by the users themselves, it is still a great ability.

It’s a superior ability even compared to the vision of a prominent family.

But that wasn’t what mattered now. The wagon, which had been slowing down, eventually came to a complete stop.

at that time. A sound came from outside.

smart-.

“I think we should stop and go.”

It was the voice of the knight who had followed him for escort.

Abel made eye contact with the other children and opened the door himself.

“Is there a problem?”

“ah. A group of pallots are passing by in front. So I’m going to take a break for about 30 minutes and move on.”

At the mention of a crowd of pallots, the others let out a sigh of relief.

A pallot is simply an animal similar to a water buffalo.

There are quite a few differences, but the point of forming a group is the same.

It was probably rolling past on the road ahead.

“If you feel frustrated, you can come out and take a rest.”

Everyone seemed to be troubled by the article’s words.

It’s not that it’s not, it’s because they’ve been moving all the way without going out of the wagon for safety.

“Oh, no!”

Then, suddenly Mei shouted.

At once, everyone’s eyes turned to Mei.

She rolled her eyes in bewilderment and opened her mouth slowly.

“therefore… … that is… … It’s dangerous outside.”

It was absurd.

That’s why everyone who heard her words had a look on their faces wondering what the hell this was all about.

but only one.

Abelman noticed Mei’s intentions.

“Ugh. Well, then just stay inside.”

He leaned back against the backrest, speaking in the most natural voice possible.

When Abel said that, the others nodded in disinterest.

“but. I have to go out for a while and come back anyway.”

“Are you bothered?”

Originally, there is such a thing as flow.

When one person steps forward and insists, the others quietly follow.

It must have played a part in the fact that everyone was exhausted from playing at the villa in the first place.

“Then I understand. We will be leaving soon, so please wait a moment.”

The knight bowed politely and closed the carriage door.

As soon as the door closed, Abel glanced at Mei’s reaction.

‘It’s subtle.’

Mei didn’t look very happy, but on the contrary, she didn’t look very anxious.

I’d say it’s somewhere in between.

‘please… … He seems to be wondering if this is enough.’

I don’t know what the future Mei saw.

No, I don’t even know if it’s true that I actually saw the future. I just thought it was possible.

Still, just in case, Abel held the artifact tightly.

10 minutes passed like that, then 20 minutes passed.

The carriage did not think to move easily, probably because the procession of pallots was longer than originally thought.

“It takes quite a while.”

“Can you see it through the window?”

“Let’s take a look.”

This time, Mei didn’t really respond.

Abel also opened the window and poked his head out to check the situation outside.

Doo doo doo doo-.

The sound of the ground shaking was heard first.

The performance of the wagon’s noise-vibration suppression magic was so excellent that I hadn’t felt it until I opened the window.

‘It’s still passing.’

front. A swarm of paluts could be seen crossing the road from quite a distance.

It looked like a black wave passing by.

But then.

Khuong, kung-.

Suddenly a strange sound was heard.

Loud footsteps, clearly distinct from the sound of paluts.

thump, thump!

I was quite used to the size and frequency there.

Abel, who had paused for a moment, soon recognized it.

“Gigant?”

“huh? what?”

“Did you say Gigant?”

“Isn’t that the sound of a Gigant maneuver?”

Abel’s words left others bewildered for a moment, but things changed when the sound echoed again.

Kung, cooong, cooong-!

It was clearly the sound of walking on two feet.

Then there are two possibilities. Gigant or colossus.

The former is unknown, but the latter is tantamount to disaster.

No matter how much care you put in an escort, there’s no way you’ll be able to deal with the giant.

This is because no one expected that a colossus would appear in this area in the first place.

In the meantime, the sound was getting closer and closer.

While everyone’s anxiety is rising.

“uh! excuse me!”

Darin, who was stuck in the window opposite, pointed somewhere.

Abel also naturally went there and looked out the window.

“ah… … .”

What came into sight was a gigantic Gigant.

“Gee, Gigant was right.”

Everyone was relieved to see it.

How many times have you been surprised and then relieved in a short period of time?

Abel thought while clearing his shocked chest.

‘That’s enough… … Centurio class?’

Although it was far away, I could recognize it to some extent.

This is because it was a speed-enhancing type that was rarely found in the Milles class.

The speed-enhanced type has a thin skeleton, so it looks quite elongated from a distance.

In the Milles class, it was an enhanced form that was rarely used due to power and stability issues.

“Awesome… … .”

Abel murmured involuntarily.

Streamlined silver body.

Sleek yet elegant gloves.

Every time the gigantic Gigant took a step, admiration came out.

To Abel, even that appearance was no different from a work of art.

Whoop, thump, thump, thump-!

The Centurio-class Gigant was walking towards somewhere.

Abel stared blankly, then suddenly thought.

‘Come to think of it, why is Gigant here?’

I was stunned for a while, but that wasn’t what was important right now.

If not as much as the appearance of a giant, the appearance of a Centurio-class Gigant was strange enough.

‘Is this a safe zone?’

This is an area where not only the giants but also their fragments rarely appear.

If it hadn’t been for that kind of place in the first place, there wouldn’t have been a carriage like this.

The Centurio-class Gigant came to the vicinity as it was, and passed it all the way.

“Whew.”

It was then that I heard a sigh of relief from somewhere.

Abel, who inadvertently turned his head, knew that it was from Mei.

random timing.

But from her previous reactions, it seemed that the danger she felt had finally passed.

‘What the hell was that?’

Even after it had passed, she still had no idea what the threat May was feeling.

‘That’s why I can’t ask directly.’

After thinking for a moment, Abel lightly shook his head.

For now, they decided to be content with passing the risk.

It wasn’t long before Gigant was so far away that I couldn’t even see it.

The crowd of pallots just passed by and there was nothing blocking the road anymore.

“Then we will set off again.”

Accompanied by the knight’s voice, the carriage started moving slowly forward again.

The others didn’t seem to think much of it when the wagon moved again, but Abel thought about this and that in his complicated mind.

But nothing was known.

* * *

on top of a high hill.

Dark shadows are cast under the trees.

The person lying face down in the shadow looked at the carriage leaving and spoke in a voice full of regret.

“Failure.”

They succeeded in driving a group of pallots to block the road and stop the wagon.

However, while waiting for the best time, I lost my timing.

“It must be Centurio.”

It was because of the sudden appearance of the Centurio-class Gigant.

Originally, there was no information that Gigant was passing through this area, so it was completely unexpected.

By the time Gigant had completely moved away, the pallot he had been driving had completely passed.

The man murmured as he looked at the carriage, which had now moved so far that it almost looked like a dot.

“No more… … It would be impossible.”

If you overdo it, you can try to attack somehow, but the probability of failure increases exponentially.

The difficulty of attacking a stationary wagon and a running wagon is vastly different.

The man watched the carriage go away with eyes filled with longing for a while, then got up from his seat.

But then, a new person suddenly appeared from the shadows.

“Shall we withdraw all troops?”

“okay. This operation is a failure.”

“All right.”

The reason why the failure of this operation was painful was that the target was an academy cadet.

No one knows when an opportunity like this will come again.

But I couldn’t be sorry forever.

Shaking his head, the man shook his head and opened the paper he had put in his bosom.

There was a portrait of a girl with a languid expression on it.

“may.”

He is a very important figure in our future plans.

Although this operation failed, another opportunity will come someday.

The man gazed intently at the portrait as if it were engraved in his mind, then put it back into his bosom.

He stepped straight into the shadows.

Suuu-.

It soon disappeared without a trace.

Only a cool breeze blew on the hill where people had disappeared.
