Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 112
Screeeech-.
Crack-!
Kim Gu-seon was the first to face the wildcats.
He had reached a level where he could freely use the hidden trait Amazing Stealth that he developed on the 1st Floor.
When training that matched his nature was conducted, the growth speed of an S-rank became remarkably fast.
“I’m free.”
At this moment, he was feeling freedom.
He felt so free that he thought he could abandon all his experiences up until now.
Don’t use weapons.
You have a talent for stealth.
Move by utilizing that trait. That’s enough.
Yujun’s training was precise and accurate.
He didn’t speak vaguely but explained things in an easily understandable way.
Until now, no one had ever said such things to him.
They only said he was versatile, so he should try to properly utilize that versatility.
In fact, he himself had thought the same way.
He thought it was natural to take on multiple roles since he was versatile.
But that wasn’t right.
That shouldn’t be the case.
Rather than utilizing versatility, it was right to utilize what he did best.
This rapid growth right now was proving that.
Crrrack-!
He had climbed the Insect Tower dozens of times.
He had climbed to the 3rd Floor many times, but repeatedly failed on the 4th Floor.
In that process, he could say he had fought these wildcats on the 2nd Floor dozens of times, no, with a little exaggeration, over a hundred times.
The wildcats’ attack patterns were extremely varied, and their speed was so fast it was difficult to handle, always giving him trouble.
Moreover, since he was also serving as a tank, thinking he couldn’t handle their speed, he had only been faithful to his tank role.
However, that wasn’t clothing that suited him.
“He’s a genius.”
Kang Yu-jun was a genius.
“No.”
Kang Yu-jun’s status within him was rising even higher.
He’s not at the level of a genius.
The word genius alone could never describe Kang Yu-jun!
“He changed my life.”
In his mind, Kang Yu-jun’s image wasn’t that of a trainer, but of a benefactor to whom he owed a lifetime of gratitude.
Madness dwelt in his eyes.
It was the kind of look Im Seok-jae might show.
“Benefactor! My great benefactor!”
Craaack-!
The Storm Wildcat panicked and kept swinging its front paws.
Screech-!
Boom-!
The Storm Wildcat suddenly staggered.
The explosion was so powerful that even though it dodged, the shockwave completely struck the Storm Wildcat’s body.
This was praise directed at Yujun.
This was Kim Gu-seon’s way of repaying his gratitude to the one who had trained him.
Meanwhile, Yujun smiled as he watched Kim Gu-seon.
Everyone has talent.
But that talent remains quiet until it’s discovered.
It’s so quiet that unless you draw it out several times, it will never tell you it exists.
‘But once you draw it out, it shows its light. A very bright light.’
The other team members were amazed by Kim Gu-seon’s incredible performance.
“Crazy bastard.”
“He’s going on a complete rampage by himself?”
“Gu-seon is in a state of ecstasy right now.”
This was the first time they’d seen Kim Gu-seon like this.
Boom-! Boom-!
Explosion sounds kept occurring, and now he was even controlling those explosions.
“They say explosion control is the most difficult.”
“But he’s doing it freely right now.”
The Strengths Team members were impressed by the advanced explosion control.
But this wasn’t the time to just watch.
They also had to keep up with that tempo.
“I’ll help you be able to do it.”
Yujun said to them.
“That’s why I’m here.”
“Please take care of us!”
Thanks to the performance of the Strengths Team members who were inspired by Kim Gu-seon’s display, they broke through not only the 2nd Floor but also the 3rd Floor in an instant.
“….”
“Next is the 4th Floor.”
4th Floor.
This 4th Floor was the highest floor the Strengths Team members had ever reached.
No, they couldn’t even say they had truly reached it.
“We always gave up and came back down at the entrance of the 4th Floor.”
From there, monsters so powerful appeared that they couldn’t even think of advancing further.
“Large monsters appear. They’re three times the size of the monsters we’ve seen before.”
“By that point, everyone was exhausted, and there were team members with serious injuries, so we had no choice but to retreat.”
In fact, this wasn’t the whole story for the Strengths Team members.
Originally a team of 35 members, now 80 percent of them were injured and had been evacuated.
“We also had many minor injuries before coming up here.”
Yujun knew that too.
Just recently, he had been training them while taking care of those minor injuries.
‘If I hadn’t been to Gate Front, I would have needed more time too.’
He wouldn’t have been able to enter the Tower immediately today after being dispatched to help.
‘Monsters three times the size.’
There, Yujun was once again sensing their breathing.
‘From the 1st to 3rd floors, they had experience.’
Their breathing looked somewhat rough, but it was at a level they could control themselves.
On top of that, they were in a strengthened state from Yujun’s training, so everyone was filled with confidence.
However, as soon as they came up to the 4th Floor, their breathing began to waver.
‘They’re so tense they can’t display their original abilities.’
“First, I need to see the monsters myself.”
He had no intention of giving up without even looking.
And from far away, that being revealed itself.
Kugung-! Kugugugugung-!
“We call that guy the Crayfish King.”
It was a very simple but quite fitting name.
A red, glowing exoskeleton like armor.
And on both arms were claws like hammers.
A monster that looked like it could smash anything with one swing was quietly staring this way.
‘The impact is no joke.’
Kwak-!
The Crayfish King, stomping hard on the ground, suddenly rushed right in front of the Team Leader.
The Team Leader rotated his body from his position.
He drew the opponent’s attention.
And Kim Gu-seon’s attack, utilizing brilliant stealth, exploded.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
“Oho.”
Kim Gu-seon was already drunk with confidence.
He was the only Awakened among them whose breathing remained the same.
“You can withstand this?”
Kim Gu-seon was actually always exhausted by the time he reached the 4th Floor.
So this could be considered almost his first time fighting the Crayfish King.
“This time I came here with my strength controlled.”
Kim Gu-seon moved his wrist.
At the same time, other team members poured attacks on the Crayfish King.
“Chwip-. Chweik-.”
The Crayfish King, filled with rage, swung its front claws.
“…!”
“…!”
The team members’ eyes widened.
“We’re… dodging?”
Attacks that they normally wouldn’t have been able to dodge began to be avoided.
Yujun also raised his concentration while watching their battle.
Shaaaak-.
Pajik-!
The Crayfish King’s condition began to appear in Yujun’s eyes.
Seureureureuk-.
-The proficiency of Mind’s Eye increases!
‘Oh.’
The 4th Floor, reached after consecutive battles through the 3rd Floor.
It wasn’t just the Strengths Team members who had grown.
Yujun could visually confirm the Crayfish King’s information.
‘That body was created through self-training.’
It wasn’t just natural talent.
Yujun observed the Crayfish King’s muscular exterior.
According to the circulation of mana, various parts of the exterior repeatedly strengthened and weakened.
Crackle-. Crackle-.
‘I feel like I can see more.’
Yujun frowned.
It seemed like he could see more information about the Crayfish King.
No, not only that, but it seemed like he could see additional information about the Awakened Ones here as well.
“Ugh.”
Crackle-!
However, it was still too early.
-Proficiency is insufficient.
More proficiency in Mind’s Eye was needed.
‘The level needs to increase more too. That was dangerous just now.’
He had unconsciously become greedy.
‘Still, I grasped the core issue.’
Yujun smiled without realizing it.
“I’ve realized what you all are lacking.”
Yujun spoke to the Strengths Team members who were fighting.
‘Something that no one has ever pointed out until now.’
Swoosh-.
Kim Gu-seon extends his hand.
A powerful explosive ability with additional effects from hidden characteristics attached.
‘That’s exactly it.’
That extending movement.
It was strangely awkward.
At first glance, it would appear to be an excellent straight punch, so fast and fierce, but Yujun’s Mind’s Eye could see the exact problem.
‘The proficiency is low.’
To be more precise.
‘The fundamentals are severely lacking.’
It was an attack without fundamentals.
It was nothing more than throwing a punch haphazardly.
‘He’s extending it too ordinarily. He’s relying on his ability.’
Because he was granted such a powerful ability from the beginning, his fundamentals were lacking.
‘They’re all unaware of this.’
However, an S-rank Trainer would be able to know where their problems originated from.
‘Yet there’s a reason they turn a blind eye to it.’
Because it couldn’t be changed.
Because it was too difficult a problem to change overnight.
Moreover, if you told an S-rank Awakened that their fundamentals were lacking, it could potentially lead to conflict.
They might say, “How strong am I, what’s this talk about fundamentals,” and you could be insulted as not being a proper Trainer.
From a Trainer’s perspective, there was no reason to create the possibility of such trouble.
‘Leaving the fundamentals as they are and upgrading the abilities themselves would feel much faster and more accurate to them.’
Refining fundamentals is tedious work.
‘But it’s absolutely necessary work.’
Yujun knew all too well.
How powerful the explosive growth that comes from solid fundamentals can be.
How quickly limitations arrive when you grow without fundamentals.
‘There was something most important even in the Tower of Infinity.’
Maximum potential.
On top of that, excellent abilities and even perfect hidden characteristics.
Such an Awakened couldn’t become SS-rank no matter how much training they received. They eventually hit a wall.
It was puzzling.
Surely someone of this caliber should have become SS-rank.
‘So I questioned my own training skills.’
But it wasn’t that my training skills were lacking.
‘It was the fundamentals.’
Basically, their growth had stopped because the fundamental stats that needed to be developed hadn’t grown.
‘Ironically enough.’
That’s why Yujun planned to teach them the importance of fundamentals.
‘These boring fundamentals are originally difficult to master quickly.’
But Yujun had a skill that could solve this.
‘Synchronization.’
And with Yujun’s mana control, he would make them remember and imprint it.
‘Then I can establish the foundation of fundamentals.’
Growing after that would be up to them, but once they tasted the strange sensation of growth through fundamentals, they would be compelled to continue training the basics even if told not to.
“Hmm.”
Yujun looked at the Strengths Team members.
‘This seems difficult with synchronization alone.’
Then another method was needed.
-Current Points: 3,000P
Yujun had exactly 3,000 points.
‘Their training isn’t finished yet, so I don’t have that many points.’
Only Kim Gu-seon’s training had been completed once, so only the points from that plus the points from their deepened bond had come in.
After much consideration, Yujun first chose one skill.
-Would you like to learn the skill [Domain Declaration]?
‘The one with good synergy effects with synchronization is precisely this Domain Declaration.’
-Training efficiency for Awakened within a certain range is maximized.
-Skills are enhanced.
-Synchronization skill is enhanced.
-Stat Growth Acceleration skill is enhanced.
-Awakened Scan skill is enhanced.
Domain Declaration was a skill that created synergy with the skills Yujun was learning.
‘The more skills I learn, the better Domain Declaration’s effects become. Fundamentals can’t be corrected in a short period.’
He planned to change them as much as possible using Domain Declaration, synchronization, and stat growth acceleration.
‘Starting with changing bad habits is the beginning.’
-Domain Declaration requires 2,500P.
‘Fortunately, I don’t lack points.’
“I’ll learn it.”
-You have learned the skill [Domain Declaration]!
Shaaaaa-!
“…!”
“…!”
Just then, a group of Crayfish Kings began approaching from the distance.
It wasn’t just one.
Over ten of them.
The Crayfish King they had just faced was huge, but the approaching ones looked even bigger.
“Crazy.”
“I’ve never seen that size before….”
“Kieeeeeek-.”
“Quick. Chweik-.”
Kugung-! Kugugugugung-!
“The screaming sound it made when dying must have been calling its companions.”
“We didn’t know because we’d never caught one.”
Every time they came up to the 4th floor, they encountered Crayfish Kings, but they had never defeated one.
They would retreat without even fighting properly.
“We should have blocked it.”
“Should we retreat for now?”
The Team Leader asked Yujun.
Making decisions was originally the Team Leader’s role, but somehow Yujun had become the leader of this team.
He had told them to act as if he wasn’t there, but that was impossible.
Thump-! Thump-! Thump-!
Kim Gu-seon frowned.
“There’s even one… I’ve never seen before!”
In addition to the group of Crayfish Kings, there was even a monster they’d never seen before.
For now, they had to retreat.
This wasn’t the time for training.
Yujun slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s dangerous.”
“Then….”
“But it’s possible. For me.”
Everyone’s bodies stiffened momentarily at his words that it was possible.
However, soon after.
“If that’s the case….”
The Team Leader turned toward the Crayfish King horde with a hardened expression.
If Yujun said training was possible, then it was possible.
They had to break through the 4th Floor and reach the 5th Floor anyway.
They had to subdue the 5th Floor to stop this Tower’s rampage.
So they had no choice but to trust Yujun.
“We’ll give it a try.”
“We’ll give it a try!”
Yujun snapped his fingers from behind.
-Using skill!
“Domain Declaration.”
-Training Domain Declaration
-All Awakened Ones in the domain are strongly influenced by your training!
