I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

The carriage passed the high walls of the archipelago.

Abel felt relieved when he checked out the window.

‘I was nervous for no reason.’

After seeing Mei’s strange reaction, he couldn’t rest in peace.

I couldn’t even look at it openly, so I secretly looked at it, and I was exhausted.

‘Still, since we’ve arrived at the system, there shouldn’t be any problems.’

I wouldn’t know if it was outside the system, but I didn’t have to worry anymore.

To be honest, worrying about it was of little use.

In a situation where the system was broken, no matter what Abel did, he would be of no use.

The carriage proceeded along the well-maintained roads of the archipelago and, as Abel had hoped, arrived at the academy without any problems.

“You have worked hard.”

“You worked hard.”

Abel and the others thanked the knight and coachman for escorting them this far.

They also greeted us with a smile, so we were able to say goodbye in a warm atmosphere.

As soon as I moved from the carriage stop and headed toward the dormitory, Daniel spoke to me.

“Ugh. Time is ambiguous. Abel! Are you going to practice today?”

“no. It will probably be hard to train for a while.”

“what?”

Daniel looked at Abel with a shocked face.

“Are there any aftereffects still left?”

“no.”

“Other than that, there’s no way I’d skip training!”

Abel shook his head as he watched Daniel speak quickly as if excited.

“Don’t you remember when I said I had something to do when I get back?”

“Oh, is that so?”

“huh. It was.”

I didn’t go into detail, but I did say that there was work to be done.

Because otherwise it would have been annoying.

Daniel showed a look of regret, but he quickly got over it and started talking to others.

“He said he was going to train separately. Darin, you said you were going home, right?”

“huh. I am going to rest today and go back tomorrow.”

“Then what about Mei?”

May, who had suddenly turned an arrow toward herself, blinked before opening her mouth.

“… … sleep?”

“… … Are you sleeping all vacation?”

“… … well?”

Mei averted her eyes.

Apparently, he seemed to have been thinking of sleeping well throughout the vacation.

Of course, in reality it won’t.

This vacation is an important time for Mei as well.

‘Although there is a possibility that it will flow differently from the game.’

In that case, I was thinking of going out on my own as soon as Abel returned from the Red Hall, a special management area.

Mei’s need for sleep was triggered by a special problem, independent of her temperament.

If that was not resolved, Mei would disappear without being able to stand out.

‘Well, first of all, I shouldn’t think too far ahead.’

No matter what the situation, you should think about it in advance and prepare for it, but it is foolish to go beyond that and suffer from anxiety.

If you don’t do your best in what you can do right now, everything will be meaningless.

“It has arrived.”

As we talked about this and that, the dormitory was right in front of us.

Since we had already played everything for several days, everyone simply said goodbye and parted ways.

“See you later.”

As soon as Abel entered the dormitory building, he said goodbye to Daniel and entered the room.

“It just feels like coming home.”

When I entered the room, my own words came out.

Even though I had definitely come to play, when I arrived at the room, I was exhausted.

I wanted to lay down on the bed as it was, but I couldn’t.

‘Does it have about three hours until the time I promised with Deborah?’

Originally, I had plenty of time to spare for about 6 hours, but due to various things in the middle, it arrived later than planned.

It was an ambiguous time to close my eyes for a while or to go to the training ground.

But it wasn’t that there was nothing to do.

Abel first took out the artifact he had kept in his arms while sitting upright on the bed.

‘I’m sure this wasn’t given only by henna’s individual judgment.’

It was Abel who had some knowledge of artifacts, so he knew.

Excluding the value of its name, this artifact is no ordinary object.

It means that no matter how much Hena felt sorry for Abel, it was not something she would just give her chin to.

‘Is it related to the duke?’

That was the possibility that immediately came to mind.

But even so, I couldn’t completely erase the question of ‘why?’.

Abel bounced the artifact up and caught it with his hand.

‘If you think about it in one dimension, it would be correct to see it as an investment or a sign of gratitude.’

If you were a duke, you would already know that it was Abel who made a great contribution to preventing his daughter from running amok.

To Abel, it seemed most likely to be a token of appreciation.

‘Still, it’s not something I can comfortably receive at all.’

I wouldn’t mind if it was money or a simple physical item, but if it’s an artifact of this size, I have to be careful.

Maybe you can use this as an excuse to ask for another favor.

I’d like to be like a duke, but there are no absolutes in the world.

He had no clear patronage relationship with the duke, so he could not be fully trusted.

“good.”

Abel concluded simply.

It’s used, but let’s save it and use it well.

If you ask for something unreasonable, then you can go and return it.

First of all, it seems highly likely that it was given as a token of appreciation.

Concluding, Abel put the artifact back in his arms and closed his eyes.

I intended to practice breathing for the remaining three hours.

“Sueuueup.”

As I took a deep breath and recalled the rules of the breathing method, my heart calmed down in an instant.

“Whoa.”

I erased all my thoughts and fell into a deep meditative state.

He woke up again two hours later.

smart-.

“Cadet Abel. A visitor came.”

It was after I heard the voice of the academy staff.

* * *

A dark black carriage stopped at the side of a large road.

The carriage door opened and it was none other than Abel.

Abel looked around.

‘It’s been a while here again.’

This is the southern area of the island, and it was an area where workshops were concentrated.

Perhaps that’s why the buildings, unlike other areas, boasted a considerable size.

“You can come this way.”

“Ah yes.”

Abel was guided by a man who rode in a carriage with him, an employee sent by Deborah.

The man went ahead and climbed the steps right in front of the carriage stop.

The man who climbed the stairs immediately opened the door, and soon the inside was revealed.

‘It’s not as flashy as I thought.’

Surprisingly, the inside of the building was clean and tidy rather than flashy.

But after thinking about it for a while, I realized that it was natural.

‘but. This is a kind of research lab.’

The purpose of decorating fancy is usually to show off to others, but in the laboratory, such a thing is unlikely.

Rather, the calm interior seemed much more reliable.

Not long after I started walking down the long hallway with the man, I saw someone standing on the other side.

“You are here.”

It was Deborah.

As soon as she saw Abel, she politely bowed with a bright smile.

Abel saw that and took the same example.

It was because, in terms of status or wealth, he was below if he was below, not above.

“Thanks to you, I came comfortably.”

“you’re welcome. You must have just returned from your journey. Aren’t you tired?”

“It’s okay to come after enough rest.”

“thank god. But if you feel tired, tell me right away.”

“yes.”

When Deborah gave a light wink, the man who had guided her to this place slightly bowed her head and backed away.

“Then, shall we go right away?”

“yes.”

She escorted Abel to the basement.

The stairs to the basement were quite long, but when Abel arrived below, he realized there was a reason.

‘It’s amazing.’

The basement floor was truly overwhelming in size.

I thought the ground floor seen from the outside was big, but it couldn’t compare to the basement.

Because there was a space almost the size of Vulcanus’s workshop underground.

“It’s huge.”

“I don’t like to waste money, but I tend to save money on things I think are worth investing in.”

Deborah smiled and spoke kindly.

“Gigant’s progress is astonishing. Since it was first developed, the level has been constantly increasing. Do you know about the history of Gigant?”

“yes. I know that the first developed was the Milles class.”

“that’s right. A few years later, the Centurio class came out, and during the Great War, the Centurio was the most powerful weapon.”

“The Militum class and the Tito class were developed after the Great War.”

“Even after the Great War ended, development continued. You never know when there will be another war.”

Abel nodded.

Tito, Miles, Centurio, Militum.

This could be said to be the current Gigant system.

Midgets lower than Tito cannot be properly called Gigant, and custom aircraft above Militum are not of regular grade.

Deborah nodded as if satisfied with Abel’s words and opened her mouth.

“But apart from Gigant’s development, the core has been stagnant for quite some time.”

“It certainly is. I just use the core of a more powerful giant on the upper plane.”

Airframes are classified according to grade, but the upper airframe was not a core made with a more special technology.

It was just made by processing the core of a more powerful giant.

Of course, the processing technique was also special. However, in essence, there is no significant difference.

“So I focused on improving the core.”

Deborah walked all the way and stopped in front of an aircraft and said.

“Use the core of a more powerful giant to make a stronger Gigant… … . Isn’t that kind of boring?”

“If you can make a second-generation core, that would be a huge breakthrough.”

“Second generation.”

Deborah’s eyes sparkled at Abel’s casually uttering the word ‘second generation’.

“That expression. It’s good. 2nd generation.”

Deborah said, turning her head slightly and looking up at the aircraft.

“The core before that was the first generation. The newly developed core is the second generation… … . It’s a very charming story.”

“Is that so.”

“Whoops. yes. Of course, that would only be the case when core development was successful.”

She lowered her head again and said that it was Deborah who saw Abel.

“That’s why Abel’s role is important. As a result of our own investigation, Abel-sama’s level of sympathy is unrivaled.”

Abel didn’t bother denying it.

There are many abilities that Gigant Riders need, and Abel knows that he is still lacking in many ways.

However, I never once thought that I was inferior to others, at least in terms of coordination.

“Then, would you like to take a little break before proceeding with the test?”

“no.”

To Deborah’s suggestion, Abel responded calmly.

“Let’s get started right away.”

Even if it wasn’t because of the transaction, he was feeling the desire for the 2nd generation core.

If the 2nd generation core is developed faster than the original history, it will definitely be a huge benefit.

Deborah nodded in satisfaction and spoke to the people waiting on the other side.

“great. Then we’ll get ready right away.”

People brought something and handed it to Abel.

It was also Deborah who explained it.

“They are artifacts in case of emergency. We will check Abel-sama’s condition in real time, and if something goes wrong, he will be safely moved outside.”

“okay.”

At those words, Abel was deeply impressed.

I said it casually, but as Deborah said, it meant that it was an artifact imprinted with spatial magic.

Artifacts like that are worth the price.

Deborah’s confidence that safety is guaranteed was not a lie.

Even if Gigant runs out of control, you will be able to make an emergency escape to the outside.

coo-!

In the meantime, the staff adjusted the Gigant and moved it to make it easier to ride.

Abel looked up at the cockpit, which opened by itself.

A boarding seat with a purple core.

“Then, I’ll board right away.”

It was time to start experimenting.

An experiment that could bring about a cataclysm in this world depending on the results.
