Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 108

“Huh.”

“The silver greatsword…”

“Got smashed by a staff.”

The Strengths Team couldn’t help but be shocked by the stunning result.

Meanwhile, Kim Gu-seon rubbed his shoulder and let out a small groan.

“Ugh-.”

The powerful recoil that traveled through the greatsword spread throughout Kim Gu-seon’s body.

He struggled to swallow the pain and checked the condition of his arm.

Fortunately, he wasn’t injured.

Craaaaaack-.

Because all the damage Yujun dealt had concentrated on the greatsword.

He let out a bitter smile.

“I never thought… it would just break like that…”

The silver greatsword wasn’t just a simple artifact.

It was something the Management Bureau had commissioned from a famous crafting-type Awakened.

It was a good weapon that had mana amplification effects and even had various skills embedded within it.

It was an artifact that would never break from ordinary attacks, truly like wearable armor that you could swing.

But that artifact had broken.

“Wh-what is this.”

Kim Gu-seon looked at his trembling hands before turning his head toward Yujun.

He had said that the greatsword didn’t suit him.

“If it had suited you well, the greatsword wouldn’t have broken. It’s a good greatsword after all. It seemed to have mana amplification plus about two skills stored in it. No matter how good a weapon is, if it doesn’t match the Awakened’s abilities, there’s no reason to use it.”

Yujun had seen right through the greatsword accurately.

That’s why Kim Gu-seon couldn’t help but be even more captivated.

“You really think it doesn’t suit me…?”

“Yes.”

Yujun nodded.

“Then… what kind of weapon would suit me?”

There weren’t many weapons that actually fit him.

First, due to his massive build, small weapons didn’t suit him.

And he had tried polearms like spears, but they were difficult to control, and blunt weapons like hammers didn’t seem to make good use of his strengths.

That’s why he was genuinely curious.

“Weapons don’t suit you.”

“Excuse me?”

It wasn’t the answer he had expected.

“To be precise, Kim Gu-seon, your ability doesn’t need weapons.”

‘Explosion-type ability users don’t need weapons. They’re actually a hindrance.’

Like Im Seok-jae’s superhuman strength, it seemed like using artifacts could create synergy, but the reality was different.

‘For explosion-type ability users to draw out their maximum potential, they need to use bare hands.’

Explosion is an ability that can be utilized in various ways.

That’s why, paradoxically, when you use weapons, you end up being limited to explosion abilities that only utilize those weapons.

Explosion at the weapon’s tip.

Swinging the weapon to explode.

Or the weapon itself exploding.

You end up with truly limited attack patterns.

‘If you just use explosions alone, you can utilize them in quite diverse ways – close combat, long range, and combining both patterns.’

That’s why Yujun first made him abandon his weapon.

“Bare hands are sufficient.”

After saying that, Yujun gestured.

“This time, just use your ability.”

He told him to attack him in the same way.

“…You’re really going to get hurt.”

He had just seen Yujun’s skills.

So this time, he was planning to go all out.

Thud-!

He stepped forward and extended his hand.

Shaaaaaaa-.

A powerful explosion gathered in his hand.

The Strengths Team members were startled by the sight.

“Gu-seon, that guy…!”

“No, he’s using too much full power…”

Kim Gu-seon truly used his full power.

He drew up all the strength he could muster as an S-rank Awakened.

He was curious. Whether the greatsword really didn’t suit him.

Whether bare hands were really sufficient.

‘Excellent.’

On the other hand, Yujun was very satisfied.

There are many Awakened who can’t give their all even when told to give their all.

‘It’s difficult to give your all against a person.’

Because the opponent might actually die.

However, right now Kim Gu-seon was giving his all as Yujun had asked, as if he didn’t care whether Yujun lived or died.

‘This is better for training. The efficiency is higher too.’

Yujun smiled and moved forward.

“Since you rely on weapons, your attacks themselves are awkward. Very much so.”

The moment of explosion. Yujun moved forward and actually induced the explosion.

Bang-.

A very small explosion sound was heard.

“!”

“What, what?”

“Crazy.”

Not only the Strength Team members but Kim Gu-seon was also flustered.

However, Kim Gu-seon’s confusion had a slightly different reason.

Other Awakened would only think the attack had failed, but he understood how Yujun had neutralized his attack.

“Explosion is a very sensitive power. That’s why it’s hard to control. Like just now.”

Yujun had stolen the timing.

Originally, he should have timed the explosion for when Yujun was dodging or evading, but since Yujun struck first, only a small explosion occurred.

Thud-. Swoosh-. Thwack-.

The crystal staff moved as if dancing.

“From now on, Mr. Kim Gu-seon will freely handle explosions without weapons. The first step is controlling the explosion. Properly detonating this sensitive and delicate explosion according to your opponent.”

Shaaaah-.

Once again, the power of explosion rose in his body.

“Huh?”

He hadn’t used it.

Yujun had drawn out the power of explosion.

“Try using it again. This time with the intention of exploding with proper power.”

Swoosh-!

However, this time the explosion was also small.

“Again.”

Swoooosh-!

“It’s all being read. Again.”

Swoosh-! Swoosh-!

Kim Gu-seon bit his lips and continued his attacks.

And.

“Now.”

The crystal staff went around his abdomen and shoulder to strike his wrist, and a tremendous explosion erupted right there.

BOOM-!

Fortunately Kim Gu-seon stopped it midway, otherwise an explosion intense enough to blow away the entire surrounding area would have occurred.

Even so, the power was considerable.

“!”

Kim Gu-seon couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.

An explosion powerful enough to blow away the surrounding area?

Without even a weapon?

“I’ve never produced this kind of power with bare hands before.”

“That’s your ability, Mr. Kim Gu-seon.”

Yujun nodded and continued speaking.

“The explosive power you should have been unleashing originally.”

The powerful force that destroys everything.

Everyone was speechless at Yujun’s precise training.

“Do you need more?”

“No. This is enough.”

Kim Gu-seon waved his hands dismissively.

This made it certain.

Yujun’s skills were real.

The Director had truly sent Kang Yu-jun to help Strength.

He took a short deep breath and opened his mouth.

“…To be honest, I thought you were a parachute appointment.”

He had thought there was some kind of relationship between the Director and Kang Yu-jun, which was why Kang Yu-jun was dispatched like this.

“But seeing you now… you’re not a parachute.”

He smiled brightly and continued.

“The airborne troops have arrived.”

* * *

Insect Tower.

There was a guild watching this place.

“It looks like they’ll end up asking us for help.”

“They stopped their conquest attempts a long time ago, right?”

“Yes, they seem to keep challenging it, but it looks difficult.”

14th-ranked guild Han Sam.

They were a guild aiming to leap into the top 10.

That’s why they were preparing a counter-proposal to find the best and most optimal conditions from the Management Bureau.

Strength, the armed force team belonging to the Awakened Management Bureau, had been going up and down the Insect Tower every day, but hadn’t achieved any proper results so far.

“It seems like they just need to hold out a little longer.”

“It looks like they’re on the verge of withdrawing now.”

“Everyone looks to be in bad condition.”

“They can’t go up any further.”

From what they could see, it was timing when they couldn’t climb any higher.

In other words, it meant it was timing when they had no choice but to rely on other guilds somehow.

“The Top 3 Guilds are probably busy with other matters right now. Even if they weren’t busy, there’s a high chance they wouldn’t do it.”

“That’s right. There would be no reason for them to do it. It’s not particularly attractive work for the Top 3 Guilds.”

But for Han Samguild, it was quite attractive work.

“Now’s the timing. Let’s go.”

They planned to take on this Insect Tower job and properly put the Management Bureau in their debt.

They harbored ambitions of leaping to become a top 10 guild by receiving tower conquest rights or other benefits that way.

But something was strange.

“…What?”

“That’s the Director’s car, isn’t it?”

“Yun Yu-jeong, Aide got out!”

“Huh? Could it be the Director? Did the Director come personally?”

Han Samguild Master thought this was actually a good thing.

“If Yun Yu-jeong, Aide got out, then he must have come personally!”

Yun Yu-jeong, Aide was the Director’s exclusive aide, and was quite famous among the Awakened.

Not only did she have a meticulous personality, but also outstanding abilities.

She had the nickname of being the Director’s all-purpose right hand, so wherever she was, it was safe to assume there was the Director’s strong will.

“Huh?”

“Someone got out.”

“It’s not the Director…?”

“Who is it?”

The person who got out of the car wasn’t the Director.

“Oh!”

“That person…!”

One of the guild members recognized him.

“Kang Yu-jun… That’s him, isn’t it?”

“Kang Yu-jun?”

Han Samguild Master tilted his head.

“That hot trainer these days?”

Why did that person come here?

“No way.”

“No way… it can’t be, right?”

“That can’t be.”

The expressions of the guild members who momentarily guessed why Kang Yu-jun came here hardened.

“Then there’s no reason for us to have held out…!”

Han Samguild Master urgently tried to step forward.

“What are you trying to do!”

The vice guild master blocked Han Samguild Master.

“Shouldn’t we talk to see if he really came for training?”

However, something happened on the way.

Kang Yu-jun approached Strength’s Ace and then swung a blue glittering staff.

“!”

“!”

Han Samguild members were flustered.

Crack-!

And they couldn’t close their mouths at the scene that followed.

“Wh-what is that…”

“An A-rank Trainer can break an S-rank Awakened’s weapon?”

After breaking the weapon, he suddenly started training.

“Huh?”

Kim Gu-seon was an Awakened that Han Sam’s guild members knew well too.

Originally, Strength’s combat team was something that any guild’s combat team would inevitably know well, because they clashed frequently.

Kim Gu-seon was an Awakened who could be called Strength’s ace.

Naturally, he was a mid-level or higher skilled fighter even among S-ranks.

Teaching such an Awakened was naturally not easy.

Even an A-rank Trainer would need to spend considerable time and adapt to the Awakened.

Even S-rank Trainers needed time to understand the Awakened they would teach.

Thwack-. Thwack-.

But Yujun was different.

After just a few pokes with his staff, Kim Gu-seon immediately showed a tremendous explosion of power.

“What?”

Guild Master Han Sam was flustered.

“Did he just get trained right now?”

“From the circumstances, it seems that way.”

“Really?”

“I’m not sure either.”

It was ultra-fast training the likes of which they’d never seen in their lives.

“Looking at Kim Gu-seon’s face… it really seems like it worked?”

The Guild Master focused his eyes intently.

Kim Gu-seon’s pupils were trembling like crazy.

He quickly looked over at the Strength team’s Team Leader.

The Team Leader’s expression was also stiff.

“It must be real. Crazy.”

For Guild Master Han Sam, this was an absurd situation.

“By himself… he really did come to help.”
