Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 118

The journey to the Neutral Territory took quite a while by car.

Throughout the ride on the unpaved road, Yujun simulated dragon training.

‘It would be nice to have an artifact.’

Yujun recalled the Kilo Gauntlet he had requested from the director earlier.

This artifact, exclusively manufactured by the Geumgang Kim Family, would certainly be quite effective for demon beast training.

“Gyu-cheol.”

“Yes!”

Kim Gyu-cheol answered in a loud voice, seeming nervous.

Seeing him like that, Yujun patted his shoulder reassuringly.

“Don’t be too nervous. You just need to go and do what you’re good at.”

“Yes, I’m not even the one training, but I’m so nervous.”

Yujun casually threw out a question to him.

“Do you happen to know about the Kilo Gauntlet?”

“The Kilo Gauntlet? Ah, yes. I know about it.”

The Kilo Gauntlet was an artifact monopolized by the Geumgang Kim Family.

Since they monopolized even the manufacturing method along with the Abyss Unpolished Stone, Gyu-cheol, being from the Kim family, also knew about it.

‘In the Tower of Infinity, instead of the Geumgang Kim Family, there was a place called the Iron Blood Family.’

Yujun had used the Kilo Gauntlet back then.

It had tremendous effects even in the game, so he thought it might be even more amazing in reality.

“Ah! When you gave me the runestone last time, was that what you were going to ask me to make?”

“No, I gave you the runestone to use freely.”

Yujun asked with a glimmer of hope at those words.

“Do you happen to know how to make it?”

“The Kilo Gauntlet requires Abyss Unpolished Stone. But that’s only handled by the Kim family…”

He continued with a troubled expression.

“But I do know how to make it.”

“…!”

Yujun’s eyes widened.

This was completely unexpected.

‘I never thought he’d actually be able to make it.’

It was just something he’d casually mentioned to help ease his nervousness.

“How?”

“I stole a look at the blueprints. So I didn’t learn it officially. The Kilo Gauntlet is a secret technique that you can only learn if you receive a high-grade evaluation in the family. I received an ungraded evaluation, so I couldn’t learn any techniques.”

It was a very simple reason.

“So I stole a look. I wanted to somehow get a high grade and overcome my illness. And I hated the world. I hated the Kim family too. The reason I touched the Geumgang Furnace in the first place was similar.”

That much was already known.

But he hadn’t known that Gyu-cheol even knew how to make the Kilo Gauntlet.

However, there was still a problem.

“So you can make it if you just have the Abyss Unpolished Stone?”

“I’ve never actually made it, but… I think I could at least imitate it somewhat.”

He said that with an embarrassed expression.

“Actually, it might work even without the Abyss Unpolished Stone. You gave me runestones, right? If I combine them with my ability, I might be able to create something similar to Abyss Unpolished Stone. I’m surprised too, but it’s one of the abilities in the Geumgang Furnace. The ability to create desired materials through material combination.”

“…!”

Yujun grinned at this unexpected good news.

‘Dragon training might become easier than I thought.’

Of course, he hadn’t seen the dragon yet.

Moreover, Gyu-cheol couldn’t definitively make the Kilo Gauntlet, but if something similar came out, competitiveness would certainly be secured.

“Then I’ll ask you to do it.”

“Yes, I’ll try.”

Kim Gyu-cheol nodded.

“But you don’t seem very surprised. I was amazed by my own ability.”

“It’s natural that you’re outstanding.”

Kim Gyu-cheol was deeply moved by Yujun’s words.

Here was someone who believed in him more than he believed in himself.

The mere existence of such a person greatly boosted Kim Gyu-cheol’s self-esteem.

“I’ll try making the Kilo Gauntlet. Even though the Geumgang Kim Family has the monopoly rights.”

Gyu-cheol said with a smile.

“I was kicked out, but I’m still a Kim family member, so it should be fine. If the Geumgang Kim Family comes looking…”

“I’ll handle it. That’s how the Kim family will learn. What they did, and who they kicked out.”

At those words, Kim Gyu-cheol smiled brightly.

A desire to get back at them remained in a corner of his heart.

Of course, at the same time, he also felt like shaking off all these entanglements and never wanting to get involved again, but for Yujun’s sake, it didn’t matter at all.

“Then… I’ll make it as soon as we arrive.”

“I’m counting on you.”

* * *

Russia’s Neutral Territory, Pask.

The tower standing tall here was an intense tower called the Black Iron Tower.

All the monsters that appeared here were as hard as iron and contained the power of flames.

Since it was a neutral territory, there wasn’t a single operating entity, but there were embassies from various countries to operate and mediate this place.

Of course, they were called embassies, but it would be fair to say they were spaces for Awakened Ones rather than official embassies.

Originally, there were about a hundred Awakened Ones and those who helped them in this Pask, but now nearly hundreds of people had gathered.

All of these were teams of trainers who came for dragon training.

Among them, a blonde giant frowned.

He held a whip in his hand, and the tip of the whip was worn down.

Crack-!

He swung the whip again.

The ground was dug deep by the whip he swung toward the ground as if in anger.

Bang-! Bang-!

Rumble-!

“Damn it, just stop already. Why isn’t the whip of submission working?”

Crash-! Crash-!

At that moment, the massive iron cage in front of him continued to shake.

“You can’t get out no matter what. That’s a powerful artifact prepared to confine you.”

The dragon was trapped in the iron cage.

For the dragon’s stability, a black cloth was draped over the iron cage, so the dragon’s appearance couldn’t be seen properly.

Thud-! Thud-!

However, despite having all sides covered with the black cloth, the dragon didn’t seem to be calming down at all and moved roughly inside the iron cage.

Not only that, but it even roared powerfully.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaak-!”

Dragon Fear.

When exposed to that powerful fear, the body would temporarily stiffen.

“Damn bastard.”

The blonde giant cursed and broke free from the power of Dragon Fear.

“If we take it out of the iron cage, it’ll go berserk, so there’s nothing we can do.”

He was Pyotr, a Russian trainer.

Pyotr frowned and grumbled as if he didn’t like this situation.

“I never thought my iron-blooded submission wouldn’t work.”

Pyotr Volkov. He was a trainer who conducted training centered on abilities.

Due to his powerful ability, Awakened Ones would receive iron-blooded training under strong control.

In the process, some Awakened Ones got injured, but ultimately most achieved great growth.

With that power, Pyotr ascended to become Russia’s S-rank trainer.

“Don’t get too excited.”

Wei Long, a Chinese trainer, approached Pyotr and spoke.

Short stature.

He was an old man with impressive white hair.

“Your training is quite rough, Volkov. Can one become an S-rank trainer with such training in Russia?”

Shaaaaa-.

Gentle mana was flowing from Wei Long’s palm.

His training was internal energy training that corrected posture and adjusted mana flow by striking pressure points.

“This is basic in Russia, old man. Sounds like you’re provoking me, but for such a gentle-looking old man, you sure have a nice personality.”

They were communicating in English, but each had such strong accents that it didn’t really feel like the same language.

Behind them was Hans, a German trainer.

Tall with black hair.

He was reviewing his training methods along with the artifacts he brought.

Why it failed.

And he was lost in thought about how to train the dragon.

“It’s different. Different.”

Training a dragon was remarkably different from training Awakened Ones.

Dragons were full of mana, but that mana wasn’t the same as human mana.

It was challenging and incredibly deep.

Moreover, since communication wasn’t possible, they had to subdue it with force first, but simply subduing it with force didn’t mean it could be tamed.

Rather, it became more ferocious.

“Hmm.”

Hans looked at Pyotr’s whip.

“That whipping only stirred up more defiance. Your method is having a negative impact on our training too.”

“What? Where do you get off blaming me for your lack of skill!”

To train a dragon, naturally subduing it had to come first.

Since the dragon needed to be controlled, Pyotr brought the Rose Whip, a powerful artifact, to push through with his training.

“Do they train by beating in Russia?”

“Want to experience it yourself?”

Pyotr thrust his whip forward.

Hans snorted and ignored his provocation.

Then he approached the Iron Cage and took out his artifact.

His artifact was a flask.

Inside that flask was a special potion containing special drugs and mana enhancers.

When this mana enhancer combined with Hans’s ability, special training became possible.

People often say dragons are the masters of magic, but that’s just fictional nonsense.

Dragons are simply Demon Beasts with powerful strength.

“If you control mana well, it’s possible to tame them with force. If you inflict pain every time they disobey.”

“Come out. You’re in the way.”

Then Sarah Jennings moved.

Clink-.

Sarah Jennings also held a flask in her hand.

Along with the flask containing a dark blue liquid, her neck was full of artifacts to put on the dragon.

Her training was centered around artifacts, and could be considered the culmination of America’s artifact technology.

“Isn’t training with those expensive artifacts cheating? If you can’t train even with those things, that’s the real problem.”

Pyotr said mockingly.

Sarah Jennings frowned and drew a dagger from her waist.

Crackle-.

This artifact, swirling with blue lightning, was originally meant to reset the mana flow inside the body.

“Shall I reset you, Pyotr?”

“Try it if you can. You haven’t forgotten, have you? That I’m S-rank.”

Pyotr was both an S-rank Trainer and an S-rank Awakened.

As the American and Russian Trainers growled at each other.

“Trainers, a new Trainer is arriving.”

A Russian Administration official overseeing the dragon training in this Neutral Territory quickly stepped forward.

“A new Trainer?”

“Yes, it’s the South Korean Trainer who hasn’t arrived yet.”

They instantly remembered.

South Korea’s Trainer, Kang Yu-jun.

They all remembered that name for a very simple reason.

Because he was a Trainer of a rank that didn’t belong here.

“That A-rank?”

“Did he really come?”

“Wasn’t it just any random name they put up to avoid sending a Trainer?”

They never thought he would actually come.

“This is ridiculous.”

The four Trainers gathered here were prominent figures even among S-rank Trainers.

What was an A-rank doing among such S-ranks?

Having attempted dragon training themselves, this wasn’t a Demon Beast that an A-rank could train.

“Ha! Training my ass! He’d be lucky if he can even resist the power that thing unleashes.”

Pyotr Volkov bared his teeth as if amused.

“I heard he trained Demon Beasts.”

At Hans’s words, everyone’s expressions remained unchanged.

They were faces of disbelief.

“Doesn’t South Korea grade Trainer ranks by different standards?”

“I heard their evaluation is a bit lenient.”

Wei Long said.

“But it must be true. That’s why they sent him. Otherwise, an A-rank Trainer attempting dragon training wouldn’t make sense.”

As Wei Long said, this training wasn’t something an A-rank Trainer could handle.

They had already experienced failure.

The four Trainers who arrived first and attempted to train the dragon realized how powerful this dragon was.

It wasn’t just powerful.

A moment’s carelessness could cost them everything.

If even they, being S-rank, were like this, what about an A-rank?

Just attempting training could be fatal.

Vroooom-.

Meanwhile, a jeep arrived in front of them.

What got out was a man dressed neatly in a suit.

Step-.

Yujun, who got out of the car, looked at the four Trainers gathered there.

“Nice to meet you.”

Yujun greeted them in fluent English and asked about the dragon.

“Where is the dragon?”

Introductions weren’t necessary.

Since they had received information about each other, they already knew each other.

He hadn’t come here to build friendships anyway.

“Hey, A-rank. If you don’t want to die, you’d better just get lost.”

Pyotr warned with a fierce face.

“Thank you for the kind words, but didn’t I just ask a question?”

Yujun paid no heed to that and approached Pyotr.

Though Pyotr was a full head taller than Yujun, he unconsciously stepped back at Yujun’s overwhelming presence.

“Where is the dragon?”

Shaaaaaak-!

Intense power burst forth from Yujun.
