I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy

Thirty Titos are lined up.

The reason we prepared a lot more aircraft than the number of people was because there were many different types.

The ones used for the test before were unified as standard types, but the ones here were divided by purpose.

“Choose a Gigant that suits you. Mock battles will be very helpful in deciding how to upgrade Gigant in the future.”

said Jacqueline.

Gigant is generally divided into balanced, mobile, and heavy armored types according to the thickness of the armor, and divided into long range and short range depending on the attack method.

In reality, it’s more complicated depending on the user, but generally speaking, that’s what it means.

When Jacqueline told them to look around and decide for themselves, everyone moved closer to check Tito.

“Mmm.”

There were more cadets who couldn’t easily choose the one that suited them and struggled, but there were also those who chose without much thought.

Abel was the latter.

‘First of all, the aircraft is a balanced type.’

A machine specialized for one side would have its advantages, but Abel had already established his own style to some extent.

That’s why the choice of armament was finished without hesitation.

An arming sword in a buckler. In other words, it was a close-range sword fighting combination.

After that, the others made their choices in turn after thinking about it.

“I will do this.”

“I am like this.”

After finishing the selection of the last one, Jacqueline opened her mouth again.

“The rules for capture the flag are simple. Just 15 minutes after starting, you have to hold the flag for 1 minute. Oh, there will be only one flag.”

The reason why there is a condition that it does not end as soon as 15 minutes are over, but one minute after the end, was to prevent winning by luck.

It is said that you have to endure at least 1 minute with your skills.

After listening to Jacqueline, Hena asked a question.

“Does the method matter?”

“As long as it doesn’t intentionally cause serious harm to the rider.”

It means that you can go wild as long as you keep the minimum line.

After explaining a few more things, Jacqueline smiled when she had no further questions.

“Then, everyone get on board.”

“yes-!”

At that, everyone got on the aircraft of their choice.

Abel also squeezed himself into Tito’s narrow cockpit and put both hands on his core.

Then Jacqueline shouted.

“Start syncing!”

Woo-woo-!

Before long, a light flashed in Tito’s eyes.

* * *

The simulated battlefield was quite wide.

Prior to flagfighting, Jacqueline deployed her cadets around the battlefield along with other facilitators.

‘I’m about the left corner.’

Abel looked back on the way he had come and figured out where he was now.

Since it was still before the start signal was given, Abel simply moved the aircraft to raise the tune.

‘It’s new, but the feeling is completely different.’

This is the second time I have been on Tito.

In terms of grade, Tito is only one grade away from Midget, but the feeling is quite different.

The movement was much heavier, but on the contrary, the control itself was easy.

Unlike the midget, which had a certain amount of delay, it was possible to move more quickly.

However, the amount of mana consumed was definitely greater.

In the first place, the midget is a gigant that can be used even if there is almost no magic power.

when you’re thinking about things like that.

Peee-!

A sharp noise echoed in the distance.

It was the signal to announce the start of the flag war.

At that, Abel put aside his thoughts and looked around again.

‘Let’s see.’

The first thing that caught my eye was that the surrounding terrain was a forest.

It didn’t feel as lush as a real forest, but it felt similar enough that it was magic.

Abel continued to think while raising his concentration.

‘In games, there was usually a flag at 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock or in the middle.’

I don’t know if the game and flag location will be the same, but it’s still better than wandering around with no destination at all.

‘Since I’m around 7 o’clock, it’s better to check the 9 o’clock position.’

Abel slowly began to move in the direction he had decided.

‘It’s quiet.’

Tito is on the smaller side than Miles, but when he moves he makes a pretty loud noise.

So it was said that there were no other personnel around right now.

But you can’t be careless at all.

‘Because it could be hiding while it’s stopped.’

In fact, it was a tactic often used in the game.

So Abel cautiously advanced with sword and shield in hand.

no need to rush

After all, the important thing is the last minute. Until then, there is no problem as long as you know the position of the flag.

About 5 minutes passed like that.

After confirming that there was no flag at 9 o’clock, Abel heard a familiar sound as he turned toward the center.

Koo-Woong, Kung-!

It was Gigant’s start sound.

Abel immediately stopped, lowered himself, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Shortly thereafter, he discovered an aircraft with a bloated body and a vicious warhammer.

‘It’s Lian.’

Gray hair, green eyes, and a timid face came to mind.

I can’t imagine it at all just by looking at it, but Lian’s nickname in the game went very well with the Gigant he currently rides.

‘Berserker Lian.’

He doesn’t talk much and has a timid personality, but when fighting, Lian put on his thick gloves and pushed forward recklessly.

Like a berserker who knows no pain.

‘He runs hard.’

Rian was rushing somewhere right now. It didn’t look like he was running away.

Abel glanced in the direction Lian was running and soon found a high hill.

‘I must have seen something.’

At that height, it is the best position to observe below.

Fortunately, Abel was in a forested area, so I don’t think I saw him.

Abel made a quick decision, waited until he got a little farther away, and started chasing Lian.

Caang!

bang!

It wasn’t long before I started following them, and I heard a faint sound of metal colliding with metal in the distance.

The source of the sound was right in the direction Lian was running.

Abel closed the distance a bit more and quickly caught up.

Eventually, they ran hard and arrived at a wide plain. Abel hid behind a nearby tree instead of going there right away.

cooong!

As soon as I arrived, I saw something flying and falling.

Looking closely, it was Gigant holding a spear and shield.

‘It’s Daniel.’

Daniel is the only one who uses the spear and shield combination.

Seeing the deep sword scar on his chest, it seemed difficult to move again.

Abel turned his head to see who had blown Daniel up like a paper doll.

A machine stood there holding a long two-handed sword.

The face of a woman who always had a calm and calm expression came to mind as she stood calmly even after blowing away her challenger.

‘It’s also a violin.’

A girl who took the second seat after Abel.

In addition, while thinking of Abel as the most threatening, at the same time, he was also someone I wanted to get close to at least once.

However, Abel did not act rashly, calming his sense of humor and inspecting his surroundings.

thump, thump, thump-!

In the meantime, Lian stepped forward and faced Iolin.

Instead of fighting right away, the two kept their distance and looked at each other.

But being here wasn’t the end of them.

‘A total of three.’

On the other side, there were a few trees, just like where Abel was now, but there was also an aircraft hidden there.

It was far away and half-obscured, so I couldn’t tell who it was exactly, but I could guess.

‘Jun or Hena. If it was Charlotte, she would have already jumped out.’

Charlotte is impatient.

So the probability was high that it was either Jun or Hena.

After thinking that far, Abel got up very slowly.

The most harmless and clean way to claim the flag is to aim for the fisherman’s geography.

When you run out of strength in a fight, just run away with the flag and it’s over. It was actually a method used a lot in the game.

But it doesn’t mean just to win.

‘The probability of following the leader’s words will converge to zero.’

The thought of watching it was just a joke he was throwing at himself.

I don’t think so and I shouldn’t do that.

Not only for this practice, but also for the future, I had to hold down the noses of the proud guys.

In order to do that, I didn’t make a complicated plan from the beginning.

“Whoa.”

Abel let out a long breath and eventually kicked the ground as hard as he could, maximizing his synchronization.

coo-!

As Abel started to run, Ioline’s and Lian’s eyes turned to him.

However, the two focused on each other again when they saw that Abel was running in a different direction.

On the other hand, those who were hiding and watching for an opportunity showed a clear look of bewilderment.

Leaving aside the fact that someone else was hiding, she hadn’t even dreamed that that person would run at her.

thud!

Abel quickly closed the gap and swung his sword at Gigant, who was about to stand up.

Kwaaang!

However, the sword was blocked by something like a long stick in the middle.

The moment Abel saw the stick, he recognized the identity of the opponent.

‘Henna.’

Henna is the only one who mainly uses the ranged weapon called the Magic Cannon.

‘Good.’

Abel thought.

Henna’s close combat skills are poor.

It’ll be quite usable later on, but it wasn’t enough to be his opponent right away.

Abel swung his sword fiercely again.

Caang!

Henna let down Abel’s sword slant once more, but this time her arms flung upwards as if she hadn’t completely relieved the shock.

Abel saw that and, without hesitation, pointed his sword at his exposed chest.

Kwajik!

The sturdy gloves were torn like pieces of paper.

Henna tried to balance herself somehow, but stumbled and fell to the floor.

Critical parts around the cockpit have been smashed, so it will never get up again.

‘It’s over.’

Gigant is powerful.

But it is not invincible.

Gigant has vital points, just like Gigant, and Abel knew that very well.

This is because he has the experience of working under Vulcan as a Gigant mechanic all along.

‘Let’s go like this.’

Abel moved again without stopping. There were still plenty of prey left.

The next targets were Iolin and Lian, who had just started fighting.

The two, who had been fighting happily, saw Abel running towards them and slowly opened up a gap between them.

Because I can’t give someone else a fisherman’s geography.

In the meantime, Abel quickly closed the gap and approached Lian first.

If he rushes forward like this, that ignorant warhammer will fly towards his aircraft.

Kagagakak.

However, Abel, as if anticipating how the attack would come, lowered his body and continued to slide.

Abel’s aircraft continued to slide across the ground. And when he reached Lian’s side, he swung his sword.

Quadduk!

One of Lian’s feet was shattered by the sword he swung.

Rian tried to keep his balance and attack, but Abel was one step faster.

At the same time as he got up, he stretched out his leg and tripped over Lian’s only foot.

Kwaaang!

Lian’s aircraft fell to the floor as it was.

No matter how good your sense of balance is, you cannot get up right away after losing one leg and falling to the floor.

Abel didn’t even give him a chance to do that.

Abel slashed the sword at the head without any hesitation.

Kwajik!

Head parts split in half.

With this, Lian also retired.

bang-!

However, there was also an aiolin in this place.

While Abel was dealing with Lian, Eolin, who was looking for an opportunity, took action.

Before Abel could pull out the sword embedded in Rian’s body, he quickly closed the distance and stabbed him.

Whoa!

Abel looked like he was about to be beaten. That’s how other people see it.

‘also.’

But in Abel’s eyes, he saw what others couldn’t see.

The balance of the iolin swinging the sword was greatly off.

‘The lower body is out of balance.’

gas damage

Given the circumstances, there was a high probability that he would have been damaged when dealing with Daniel.

Even in the middle of it, Iolin fought well, but in the original battle, the difference is one point.

In particular, not noticing one’s wrong balance is fatal.

The upper body was lifted slightly, and the angle of the arms was out of alignment.

Whoo-!

The power at the tip of Iolin’s sword was weaker than usual, and Abel let go of the sword without hesitation and leaned down.

Kaga gak gak!

If the aircraft was perfect, would the attack have hit?

That’s a meaningless assumption now.

The sword narrowly grazed the back of the machine Abel was piloting.

And taking advantage of that gap, Abel grabbed both legs of the Iolin’s aircraft and threw himself.

Kwaaang!

Ioline’s aircraft could not regain its balance and hit the ground head first.

It wasn’t completely smashed, but at a glance the condition wasn’t normal.

The proof was that he couldn’t get up right away. The machine probably wouldn’t listen.

Abel, on the other hand, quickly came to his senses and immediately raised his fist.

Eolin is clearly a genius. That’s one of the few geniuses in the history of the Empire.

However, right now, Abel is only superior to him.

bang-!

A hard fist slammed into the face.
