Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 109

-You have successfully trained S-rank Awakened Kim Gu-seon!

-Excellent training!

-Calculating training score!

-Training score 8 / 10

Kim Gu-seon was a close-combat type Awakened.

Moreover, he wasn’t just any S-rank, but an Awakened in the mid-to-upper tier, roughly at the same level as Hong Jun-yong.

‘Each person has different problems they’re dealing with.’

Though it was disappointing to get 8 points, it could be considered quite a high score for just a taste of training.

‘I haven’t even touched on mana purity yet.’

-You have gained points!

-You gained 1,500P!

‘Good.’

Right now, Yujun needed points.

‘I used up all my points on stat growth acceleration and checking mana purity.’

With this training, his points had returned to 1,500.

-Current points: 1,500P

‘If I complete all of this training, I should be able to learn all the remaining Lv.3 skills I need to learn.’

If things went well, it seemed like he might even reach Lv.4.

“I’ll do some simpler training. We need to do more, but you’ll have to enter the Tower soon.”

‘I can do deeper training inside.’

Yujun held the crystal staff and poked various parts of Kim Gu-seon’s body to help him recognize the sensations.

“It might feel awkward, but you’ll adapt quickly.”

Crack-.

Following Yujun’s instructions, he swung his fist again.

Then.

Whoosh-.

Boooooooom-!

An even louder explosion than before erupted.

Fortunately, since they had created distance, there wasn’t much damage. Just a large hole in the ground.

Looking at the massive hole, Kim Gu-seon shook his head in disbelief.

No matter how many times he saw it, he couldn’t get used to it.

To think he could produce this level of explosive power with his bare fists.

Until now, he needed to use artifacts to achieve this level of power.

“Gangnam-gu won’t be too happy about this. They’ll have to fill the hole.”

“….”

“….”

The Strengths Team members who were watching clicked their tongues.

Since they were colleagues who had climbed the Tower together for a long time, they knew.

He had become much stronger than before.

But they couldn’t understand it.

Could someone really be made stronger in such a short time, just by looking at them?

“…So it only looks simple on the surface.”

“The Director must have sent him with confidence.”

“Aide Yun Yu-jeong, we’re sorry. We were too hasty.”

The Team Leader had no choice but to acknowledge it.

Yujun had come here as reinforcement.

He had come to change the entire situation by himself.

“Well then.”

Yujun clapped his hands as if to change the atmosphere and pointed toward the Tower.

“Shall we go in? I’ll continue the training inside.”

“…What?”

“Wh-what do you mean by that?”

But the surprises weren’t over yet.

Yujun had pointed to the Tower and said he would go in with them.

“Why are you going in with us?”

The Team Leader asked again as if he couldn’t understand, and Yujun explained calmly.

“Everyone, the training just now was very simple training. It wasn’t enough training to conquer the Insect Tower.”

Since they didn’t trust him, he had simply proven himself.

“Training Kim Gu-seon was just to show you what I came here to do. Since you didn’t believe me, I simply proved that I came to help you.”

He hadn’t come to do safe training from the outside.

“Didn’t I tell you? That I came to help you.”

At those words, all the Strengths Team members thought of one word.

Reinforcement.

“Going in together to fight is what reinforcement means. Not waiting safely from a secure location.”

At those words, all the Awakened Ones’ eyes trembled.

At the same time, their hearts began to race.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

Insect Tower.

Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off Kang Yu-jun.

This place was truly a high-difficulty tower.

If they relaxed even slightly or made a wrong move, the tower’s traps would activate immediately.

That’s why everyone was tense despite Yujun’s reassurance that it would be fine.

Yujun gestured toward them not to worry.

“Just do as you normally would. I’ll watch from behind. And think of me as not being here. I’ll take care of my own body.”

Originally, Yun Yu-jeong, Aide was also supposed to enter together.

She was planning to jump in and protect Yujun if necessary.

But Yun Yu-jeong, Aide didn’t come in with them.

It was because of Yujun’s strong appeal.

He would protect his own body.

So he told Yun Yu-jeong, Aide to do her own work.

“….”

But she couldn’t ignore Yujun’s words and enter the tower anyway.

So Yun Yu-jeong, Aide couldn’t enter the tower.

“Then.”

The Team Leader took a deep breath for a moment and gathered the team members.

They just needed to climb the tower as if Yujun wasn’t there.

“Everyone to your positions.”

At the Team Leader’s command, the team members quickly formed their formation.

At the very front.

Kim Gu-seon, who originally took the vanguard position, creaked somehow.

After receiving Yujun’s training, he was feeling an exhilaration he had never experienced before.

It was because he couldn’t gauge how much power he had now.

Suddenly, Kim Gu-seon moved forward and disappeared from sight.

Having learned about his hidden trait through Yujun’s training, he was using it.

Amazing stealth.

Kim Gu-seon immediately appeared from the titanium mantis’s blind spot and swung his fist.

Kwagang-.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

“Huh…?”

The titanium mantis is hard.

Even with a greatsword delivering perfect explosive damage, it would take dozens of hits to kill it.

But that titanium mantis retreated greatly backward and raised both arms high.

It meant it had taken critical damage.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

Another explosion sound erupted.

The titanium mantis was brought to the brink of death just like that.

Just twice.

To think the titanium mantis would be near death from just two attacks. It was unbelievable.

“The training from earlier has this much effect?”

“Crazy!”

Kim Gu-seon looked down at his fist and smiled brightly.

Then he clenched his fist tightly.

“I’ve wasted my life for as long as I’ve used a greatsword.”

Just as Yujun said, weapons didn’t suit him.

Kkaang! Kkaang-! Kkaang-!

Then the titanium mantis began frantically striking its front legs and making sounds.

“…?”

“What’s that?”

“It’s a pattern I’ve never seen before?”

The titanium mantis trembled its wings and continued striking its front legs to make sounds.

A Strengths Team member from behind immediately rushed forward and finished off the titanium mantis.

“Looking at this, it seems like it’s calling for allies.”

“Wait, doesn’t this pattern normally not appear on the 1st Floor?”

“We’ve always attacked dozens of times to kill them before, haven’t we? So we probably never saw it.”

Normally, this kind of pattern would appear in the later stages.

“I don’t know if we should like this or not.”

“Our bodies aren’t warmed up yet, so it’s not really a good situation.”

Kwadeuk-. Kwadeudeuk-!

“The ground!”

“Opal centipedes are coming out of the ground!”

As they said, opal centipedes burst out from the ground and grabbed the team members.

“Don’t panic! Formation B!”

The Team Leader responded quickly.

Even though their bodies weren’t warmed up, they couldn’t retreat already.

The Team Leader quickly assessed the situation and gave instructions while glancing back.

Kang Yu-jun was watching them.

He had said he would enter the Tower to do training…

“But is training even possible in this situation?”

To do training, the battle would need to be completely over.

But it was clear that even without being in battle, it would be difficult to train in this situation.

His concern was quickly resolved.

Crack-.

Because Yujun kicked off the ground hard and stepped forward.

“I’ll start the training.”

“…What?”

The Team Leader asked back with a dumbfounded expression, then came to his senses and said urgently.

“W-we’re in the middle of battle!”

“If we don’t do it during battle, there’s no reason to do practical training.”

Yujun smiled.

This situation was exactly when a trainer was needed.

Screeeech-!

As the Opal Centipede and newly appeared Titanium Mantises indiscriminately attacked the Strengths Team members, Yujun moved.

This kind of real combat experience was Yujun’s first time too.

But Yujun wasn’t thinking about that at all.

Only one thought came to his mind.

‘I can see the path for training.’

The weaknesses that the Awakened Ones had.

And he could see ways to overcome them.

Blue light, cracks.

In Yujun’s mind, answers were frantically appearing and disappearing, appearing and disappearing repeatedly.

He couldn’t let this slip away.

He had to quickly show them the right path and guide them to walk that path.

Whoosh-.

Yujun, holding his crystal staff, took a step.

“That was too fast. Slow down a bit.”

Tap-. Tap-.

It was the simple posture correction that Baek Do-gyun had shown.

The crystal staff precisely struck the Strengths Team member’s shoulder area.

It was a situation where the Titanium Mantis and Opal Centipede could attack at any moment.

But Yujun wasn’t afraid.

Instead, he corrected the posture at the exact timing.

Shaaaah-.

-Synchronization skill is activated!

Synchronization was the most effective skill in urgent situations.

It showed posture and indicated the path forward.

Crack-.

Whoooosh-!

“Huh.”

It was such a perfect correction that even the attacking Awakened was surprised.

The Titanium Mantis’s front leg was completely crushed.

Before they knew it, Yujun had moved to another Awakened.

“15 degrees. Correction. Downward. More forcefully. Faster mana circulation. Pay attention to breathing.”

-Synchronization skill is activated!

-Synchronization skill proficiency increases!

Yujun’s eyes moved frantically.

The Team Leader’s movements.

The Assistant Team Leader’s movements.

And he followed all the monsters’ movements with his eyes.

“I’ll mark the movement path for you.”

Yujun used his crystal staff to scatter mana.

Then the Awakened began to see the Opal Centipede’s movements.

“Three steps forward.”

The Awakened moved as if enchanted by Yujun’s detailed instructions and training.

They clashed.

It seemed like the Opal Centipede’s attack would reach them, but that attack missed pathetically.

On the other hand, their attacks continued to hit.

Crack-! Craaaaaack-!

“Remember that feeling. Simply putting out full power isn’t always the best. Divide the damage. Don’t put in damage all at once, but divide it.”

Craaash-!

The Titanium Mantis and Opal Centipede collapsed and fell.

“Huff. Huff.”

The Strengths Team members panted heavily.

They had entered the Insect Tower numerous times, but they had never dealt with monsters at such a fast tempo as now.

“Now you should roughly understand how I’ll conduct training.”

Everyone’s attention focused on Yujun, and he looked at them and calmly declared.

“Let’s do this properly.”
