I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

53. The main character?

Gilbert’s giant soldier with his iron sword drawn was unstoppable.

Ian’s giant soldier stood proudly as if he was going to cut down everything that stood in his way, and he didn’t even give him a chance to breathe and attacked him with repeated attacks.

It was different from the aspect of the game that Gilbert had played before the final. While previous games had the cadets’ growth in mind and the circumstances in their hands, now they were focused solely on destroying their opponents.

In fact, Gilbert was full of thoughts of destroying Ian’s new recruit. The reason was simple. As I had decided before starting, it was for the purpose of a cool-headed evaluation of Ian.

It was his first time dealing with Ian, who was attacking him with all his might, but as he had been a tactical combat player for a long time, he quickly began to analyze Ian’s control habits and patterns.

Changing his patterns to match his opponent’s manipulation techniques has always been an area in which he is confident. This was not something he had developed through tactical combat, but rather his original skill in commandeering.

It was because of this talent that he was able to survive so many flying battles.

Of course, Ian was not an easy opponent. Ian, a playable character and the main character, had outstanding abilities and talents compared to his peers. Just as Gilbert was reading Ian’s manipulation patterns, Ian was also reading Gilbert’s manipulation patterns.

No matter how good Gilbert was at improvising, certain patterns, like human habits, were bound to exist. Ian tried to dig into that part somehow and gain the upper hand on Gilbert.

So what began was a high-speed mobile battle utilizing characteristic skills.

Ian’s characteristic skill integration was a skill that improved the synchronization rate of the Giant Soldier to an extent that was incomparable to that of other people. Although it is said that there is an artificial spirit, the skill of infinitely reducing the gap created by not actually moving the body was bound to be advantageous in the fight of controlling a gigantic god soldier.

As such, he always had the upper hand in the high-speed maneuvering battles of the Giant God Soldiers, and I had no doubt that he would do the same this time as well.

He opened his shoulder armor and unleashed a barrage of fireballs. Gilbert’s Colossus easily escaped death from multiple fireballs, but hitting it wasn’t the goal.

The purpose was to block vision using the dust created when multiple fireballs exploded on the ground. Even with the assistance of the artificial spirit’s search magic, it was bound to take time to pinpoint the exact location.

Moving like water, he quickly turned back and occupied the back of the defenseless giant soldier.

As expected, I can’t keep up with the speed of this body!

The sides of his mouth suddenly split open and he smiled with confidence.

Even if Ian is his rival, he believes that if he goes out in earnest, it is natural that he can do nothing, and he has deployed all the magic armament that is currently built in.

Ice, flames, lightning, and wind swirled around the stadium.

– What is it? Does it end this easily?

– Gilbert lost?

The audience felt a sense of dejection as the match ended in an instant, but they looked in amazement at Ian, who had beaten Gilbert, who had incredible manipulative skills.

Okay, this is it. This is the appearance of the protagonist.

When Ian realized that all eyes in the stadium were on him, he felt a sense of satisfaction filling his heart.

I thought that this was exactly the attention he wanted and deserved from people.

Until the dust that filled the stadium disappears.

– Look over there!

– Not yet. Gilbert’s giant soldier is fine!

– Of course!

The audience was once again enthusiastic about the silhouette of the giant soldier seen as the dust gradually cleared.

The appearance of a majestic giant soldier with his iron sword drawn and aimed without a single scratch despite the bombing.

It had all the elements to make the audience cheer.

As the crowd gradually began to chant for Gilbert, Ian, who had been immersed in his own delusions, returned to reality. I took the lead on the defenseless rear and fired a barrage, but I couldn’t understand how they looked unharmed.

No matter how Ian was, it was impossible for him to come out of that situation without any damage.

“As expected, you are the biggest obstacle.”

If you want to become a main character who fully attracts the world’s attention, you must be without Gilbert. Ian came to that conclusion and rushed towards his destined rival.

Meanwhile, Gilbert, who blocked Ian’s bombardment with an iron sword, responded by looking at the charging Ian with cold eyes. It was commendable that he took over the rear in an instant and fired without hesitation, but that was all.

Because the targeting was a mess, there were only a few shots that were threatening to him, and even those he couldn’t easily escape using parrying. He acknowledged his natural manipulation skills using characteristic skills and his superior senses compared to his peers, but there were plenty of people like him, even if he wasn’t Ian.

And above all.

Chaeng!

The movements were monotonous. At the beginning of the semester, Gilbert spoke to Ian about the importance of training his body. Ian, who didn’t look like a junior high school soldier at the time, seemed to have accepted his advice, but it was confirmed with a few bumps that he actually just ignored it.

Therefore, the continent’s top-ranked knights never neglected physical training.

However, like a knight who does not know the basic circumstances, the current Ian, who only focused on training his magic power, had a figure that far exceeded Gilbert’s in terms of his magic power alone. Obviously, if it was a long-term battle or a battle with a lot of mana, Gilbert could lose.

It was entirely possible for Ian, who had a characteristic skill specialized in fighting giant soldiers.

However, neglected physical training ultimately made a difference.

No matter how high the output you can produce, if you don’t have a body to support it, that’s the limit.

And in Gilbert’s opinion, Ian’s breaking point was right there.

I lightly struck away Ian’s iron sword, pulled the control stick, and dug inside. He pushed back the giant soldier using his frequently used shoulder strike and used the Lightning Bolt, which boasts the fastest firing rate among magical weapons.

With a flash of light, Ian’s magic barrier was struck. Ian had no way to avoid the extremely close magic weapon. No matter how much he used the integration skill, he could not completely defy the laws of physics.

Gilbert’s sometimes three-dimensional maneuvers were not movements that completely broke away from the laws of physics. It was just a matter of incorporating actions that could be done with the actual body into giant recruit manipulation techniques.

Boom boom!

When the barrage that pounded the barrier mercilessly ended, Ian tried his best to control the shaking giant soldier. He somehow concentrated on the screen and activated his formidable magic armament in preparation for the next attack, but it was impossible to take down Gilbert even in a stable stance.

Moreover, he was not a great man who would obediently receive the magical weapons poured down on him in an anxious position. He easily dodged the ice-type magic fired diagonally and thrust his iron sword through the small gap.

Boom!

The damage from the iron sword struck by a correct hit was completely transmitted to the deployed magic barrier. Ian, who was attacked in an unstable position, flew straight through the air, and Gilbert quickly followed behind him at high speed.

“This is ridiculous!”

Ian shouted, feeling impatient for the first time since entering the competition. Did he say that even if he is rotten, he is still Junchi? Even as it was being blown away by the attack, it was blocking it with minimal damage by activating its magic barrier.

Of course, Gilbert was not the one to watch that in silence.

Winter Sword – Icicle

When he turned and stabbed sharply with the sword that contained the secret of the spiral, Ian’s giant god soldier was unable to absorb all of the shock and collapsed again. Gilbert was not an idiot who threw away that golden opportunity right before his eyes.

Winter Sword – Cold Wind

A diagonal slash from the giant soldier’s iron sword struck the barrier.

Boom!

As the heavy giant soldier fell, a loud noise was heard.

“It’s ridiculous. It’s absolutely ridiculous!”

I grabbed the control stick of the fallen giant soldier and forced him to stand up. He looked at the sharply forged golden blade and shouted as if he were screaming.

Ian could not understand the current situation.

He should win overwhelmingly, but he ends up rolling around on the ground?

This was no different from a terrible lie.

Even at the moment when Ian was shocked, Gilbert’s sword did not stop. In fact, it would have been more accurate to say that he was mechanically beating Ian’s giant soldier. Cooking something like a giant god soldier that only showed monotonous movements was no task.

I think it would be better to do this.

I thought it would be a waste to delay any longer. I may be doing it to help Ian grow, but since I thought of it as a discarded hand, I didn’t want to waste my strength pointlessly.

Now, after kicking Ian, who was attacking in a random manner rather than any pattern, he knocked him down and deployed all of his magical weapons.

It was not a random bombardment like Ian’s, but a concentrated barrage with a fixed target. Just like before, ice, flames, lightning, and wind swirled around the stadium.

– Gilbert! Gilbert!

– Is this the end? Is it over?

The audience continued to cheer for Gilbert, who showed the same concentrated fire that Ian directed. Some people were excited about whether it would be over this time.

Soon, the dust cleared and the fallen giant soldier was seen.

The cheers were loud enough to echo throughout the stadium.

However, Gilbert calmly waited for the referee’s declaration without any emotion.
