Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 120

“Opening the iron cage.”

Sarah Jennings finished her preparations and immediately opened the iron cage.

Creeeeak-.

Yujun was mulling over Pyotr’s words about it being small.

‘The Awakened scan failed so I couldn’t see it properly, but…’

Just slightly, but he could see it.

The powerful force seething inside that pitch-black dragon.

‘Only its appearance is small.’

The power it possessed was enormous.

‘It might not be a baby dragon. If that’s the case, the training will need to be adjusted accordingly. I’ll have to make everything hidden come to light.’

However, Yujun didn’t bother voicing that thought.

‘They probably all know.’

There’s no way they wouldn’t know something like this.

“Kang.”

Wei Long approached Yujun, who had settled into his seat, and quietly sat down beside him.

“Don’t worry. Just relax and observe. That’s fine too. There must have been circumstances, right? The South Korean government must have had a reason for sending an A-rank Trainer like you to this dangerous place.”

He continued with a gentle expression.

“Whatever those circumstances are, there’s no need to force yourself to train. If it doesn’t match your skill level, it might be better to just watch. All the Trainers gathered here are skilled. Just observing will be a great help to you.”

“Thank you for your consideration. I was planning to observe first anyway.”

“Good, that’s wise thinking.”

Then Sarah Jennings made her move.

Sarah Jennings, who had attempted training last during the first round, was going first in the second round.

Clank-!

Clank-! Clank-!

The iron cage’s seals were released and the massive door opened.

Creeeeeeak-!

Then Sarah Jennings raised her hand and signaled.

“Starting the second training session.”

As Sarah Jennings, the most skilled person here, began her second training session, everyone tensed up and focused.

They had all already failed once.

That’s why they didn’t take their eyes off Sarah Jennings’ training for even a moment.

Because they could get some clue from her training.

It was dangerous, but none of them seemed to have any intention of giving up.

‘It’s definitely different.’

He remembered the Martial Arts Training that everyone had ultimately avoided due to its danger.

‘They actually seem to like it.’

You could tell just by looking at their eyes.

‘They’re enjoying this.’

“Don’t cause us any trouble, Sarah Jennings.”

Even at Pyotr’s blunt words, Sarah gave no response.

Grooooowl.

The dragon that emerged from the iron cage spread its wings wide.

Sarah Jennings immediately threw an artifact at the dragon.

Whoosh-! Whoosh-!

The dragon tried to dodge it, but the artifact wasn’t ordinary.

It spread out like a net and subdued the dragon just like that.

“Kyarrrrrrrung-!”

The dragon roared in anger and struggled to break free from the artifact binding its neck, waist, and arms.

Sarah Jennings immediately snapped her fingers.

Then she put on goggles that looked like a VR Machine.

These goggles that covered her entire head were a fusion of science and magic, imbued with America’s latest AI system and magic.

‘Oh.’

-00 Goggles: Grade [SS-rank]

Yujun’s insight identified her artifact.

The name wasn’t clearly visible, but the grade was definitely clear.

‘What she threw at the dragon is also an SS-rank restraint artifact.’

Sarah Jennings’ artifacts quickly activated.

Shaaaaaaak-!

Sarah Jennings, having finished her preparations, loosened up her hands.

“Shock.”

Bzzzzzzzzzzt-!

The artifact restraining the dragon flashed.

Then mana was injected into the dragon’s interior, and soon a powerful electric shock spread throughout the dragon’s entire body.

“Kyarrrrrrrrrung!”

The dragon cried out in agony.

‘It’s not just an electric shock.’

It was an electric shock converted using mana.

Rather than inflicting pain, it was a force that penetrated into the mana road to forcibly correct posture.

It restrained the target’s movements and continuously applied electric shocks if they tried to attack.

Shaaaak-.

‘Control, is it.’

In short, it was exactly the same as demon beast training.

It was called training, but the essence was taming.

With overwhelming power that could subjugate the opponent.

‘The direction isn’t great, but the method itself is excellent.’

Yujun focused on Sarah Jennings’ taming method.

Shaaaak-.

Sarah’s mana was being injected into the dragon through the artifact, and this mana was penetrating the dragon’s nervous system to enhance its reaction speed.

If it focused on resisting that reaction, it would receive a shock, and if it resisted again, it would receive another shock.

She was imprinting the difference in power and instilling in the dragon how to avoid pain.

‘If I converted that into regular training…’

Yujun mentally converted that training into conventional training.

What if the current training target wasn’t a dragon but a human?

‘Amazing. The risk is high, but if it could be used within proper limits, rapid training would be possible.’

He could only admire it.

With that method, any Awakened could properly draw out their full power.

‘Multiple repetitions would also be possible.’

On top of that, it would help them acquire the necessary senses.

Yujun could immediately understand why Sarah Jennings was a famous trainer.

‘Of course, it’s not easy.’

The artifact was assisting the injection process.

It seemed that even Sarah Jennings couldn’t properly use that method with her abilities alone.

Yujun unconsciously began to immerse himself in the training.

Lightning continued to flash in his eyes.

“…”

Meanwhile, Wei Long sitting beside him couldn’t focus on Sarah Jennings’ training.

“Hmm.”

It was because of Yujun next to him.

Complete immersion.

Wei Long frowned and clicked his tongue at those eyes that seemed to pierce through and devour everything.

“A-rank… doesn’t seem right. What’s with South Korea’s ranking system?”

Though he couldn’t determine everything from a fragmentary glimpse, Kang Yu-jun right now didn’t look like A-rank no matter how he viewed it.

But his earlier moment of surprise at the breath attack and stepping back, or his occasionally ordinary appearance, made him look not even B-rank, let alone A-rank.

“Kyarrrrrrrrrung-!”

Sarah Jennings’ taming was repeated, but the dragon only cried out even louder. Instead, it frantically charged at Sarah Jennings.

Surely powerful shocks should be transmitted, yet the dragon endured all that pain.

“Mmm, phew.”

Sarah Jennings sighed with a displeased expression.

“It’s not working. If I increase the output any more from here, it’ll get seriously injured.”

It was already dangerously high output.

If she increased the output further from this state, the dragon would get hurt.

“It’s already in an injured state.”

It would be troublesome if it lost its life.

“Its resistance is considerable.”

She eventually had to give up on the second training.

“Next is my turn.”

Confirming that she had come out of the iron cage, Wei Long stepped forward.

He had no artifact.

Just his two hands.

No, precisely speaking, he had gloves that appeared to be artifacts.

Wei Long quickly approached the dragon.

The restraints that Sarah Jennings had put on were removed, and the dragon frantically rushed at Wei Long.

Swish-.

Wei Long moved gracefully like a crane, then extended his index finger with a sharp sound and began stabbing at the dragon.

Thwack-! Thwack-! Thwack-!

“Mana acupuncture.”

He created needles from mana, made them hover around his index finger, then thrust them directly into the dragon’s body.

Thunk-. Thunk-.

The mana needles entered the pressure points precisely.

“Resonance.”

Charrrrrrk-.

“Eight Gates Binding Formation.”

Pababababak-!

Dozens of mana needles struck the dragon simultaneously, restraining all of its movements.

“Grrrung.”

The dragon tried to shake its body violently to dislodge the mana needles.

But the mana needles were already deeply embedded in the skin beneath its scales.

“Kyarrrrung-!”

“Mmm.”

Wei Long’s technique was excellent.

He tried to calm the excited state by manipulating the training target’s mana load centered on the pressure points.

The excitement certainly subsided.

But far from diminishing, the dragon’s displeasure was growing even greater.

‘This is similar too.’

Control.

‘He’s suppressing it. First he suppresses, then tries to do something.’

This was also control.

The difference was that it wasn’t as forceful a method as Sarah Jennings’.

‘The wild dragon is just enduring it. It’s not truly stabilized.’

Yujun etched the other trainer’s training and its results into his mind.

He took in that sight and continuously simulated what he would have done instead.

He combined and recombined with the abilities he currently possessed.

And he simulated by adding even the information he had gained when training Fen.

Crack-. Crackcrackcrack-.

His mind spun rapidly.

It wasn’t Sarah Jennings or Wei Long standing in that spot now.

Yujun was standing there.

Holding a crystal staff, standing before the dragon.

Thump-! Thump-!

‘If it were me.’

He repeated and repeated in his mind what approach he would have chosen.

“Mmm.”

After Wei Long’s failure.

Hans and Pyotr also attempted training, but there wasn’t much difference compared to the previous trainers.

“Damn it!”

“This is impossible.”

Pyotr roughly set down his whip.

Though he was the one who had wielded it, his grip was completely torn due to the dragon’s powerful resistance.

“You’re saying we can really tame something like this?”

“…”

Pyotr openly expressed his dissatisfaction. Hans remained silent but shared the same thoughts.

That lizard-like beast was absolutely not something that could be tamed.

Hundreds of people brought by the four trainers were watching that training.

Though all trainers up to Pyotr had failed in their training, the training itself was quite high-level.

“America’s level is…”

“Wei Long… I’ve never seen that kind of method before, if it weren’t for dragon training…”

Special training methods not considered mainstream in each country caught their attention.

But the end result was failure for all.

Perhaps it had been impossible from the start.

With the current abilities and techniques of Awakened Ones, training Demon Beasts might be impossible.

If they wanted to make it possible, it seemed the only way would be to completely restrain that dragon with artifacts or make it lose its reason.

Then Yujun approached the Iron Cage.

“Kang?”

Wei Long tilted his head and called out to Yujun.

But Yujun’s gaze was thoroughly fixed on the dragon.

“I’ve figured it out.”

“…What do you mean?”

Yujun said.

“The method to tame it.”
