Transcendent Genius Trainer Chapter 123

Ding-! Ding-! Ding-!

Dragon training complete.
The moment Yujun successfully trained the Black Dragon of Ruin, Pargonia, countless notifications began flooding his vision.

-Training has been completed!
-You have trained a Celestial Beast — a dragon!
-Magnificent training!
-Calculating Training Score!
-Training Score 8 / 10
-You have gained Points!
-You have gained 30,000 Points!

The Training Score was a remarkable 8.
Despite the training being imperfect, the high score was due to the extremely high difficulty of this particular training.

‘A decent amount of points.’

30,000 points.
And.

-You have achieved an Achievement!
-You have achieved the Achievement [Celestial Beast — Dragon].
-You have achieved the Achievement [Dragon Trainer]!
-You have gained Achievement Points!
-You have gained a qualification!

Along with achieving a total of two achievements came notification of gaining a qualification.

‘I spent quite a few points on Skill blooming, but I’ve gained more than I spent.’

-Dragon Training 1 / 1
-A dragon is recorded in the Awakened Person Training System!
-Your magnificent achievement has raised the proficiency of the Awakened Person Training System!
-Your experience training a dragon has been imprinted in the system!

It was only recently that the system reached Level 4.

‘Proficiency is climbing steadily, as expected.’

When it came to growth, there was nothing quite like undertaking new training.
Pleased with the results exceeding his expectations, a smile played across Yujun’s lips.

‘Pursuing new trainings that are recorded as achievements is the fastest path to growth.’

-Your [Precision] Stat increases.
-You have succeeded in precise training!
-Your [Precision] Stat increases further!

The newly acquired Precision Stat also climbed considerably through this training.

‘I can’t know exactly how much it rose.’

Since he couldn’t view his own status window, confirming exact numbers was difficult, but rough estimates suggested it had risen by at least 10 points.

‘I can verify how much it rose through other means.’

To learn a Level 4 skill, his Precision Stat needed to be high enough.

If he could learn it, that meant his stat had risen sufficiently; if he couldn’t, it meant he was still short.

‘Certainly, because the difficulty was high, I’ve gained quite a lot.

Points, conditions met for skill acquisition, and stats climbing steadily.

‘But what I gained most of all—’

Standing before Yujun with wide-open eyes was the black dragon Pargonia.
First of all, her appearance was quite endearing.
And her power was very formidable as well.

‘Though she knows nothing yet…….’

Even without knowing how to wield her own strength, she was remarkably powerful.
With proper training, she would become far stronger than she was now.

“Can you nest within me like Fen does?”

Yujun said this as he extended his hand.

“The other hand.”
“Kyarung.”

The moment he took her hand again, intense power surged from Pargonia.
Whoosh-!
Then she began climbing up his arm.
Scurry-scurry-scurry-!
Soon, something settled into place across his chest.

-You are forming a contract with the black dragon!
-The black dragon Pargonia wishes to enter a Servant Contract with you!

Pargonia had come to trust Yujun, who freed her from the suffering of the wings that had tormented her for so long.

“Purr.”

And that trust evolved into firm faith and resolve toward Yujun.

‘I never expected the bond to form this quickly.’

Yujun was somewhat surprised at how readily Pargonia followed him, even more than he’d anticipated.

‘It was strange from the beginning.’

She had inherited a name and power, but appeared never to have received instruction from anyone.

‘She needed someone to rely on.’

Yujun stroked Pargonia’s head.
She had nowhere else to turn to.
Since her capture, every action had been controlled, and she had endured nothing but training that resembled abuse — demands for submission.
In such circumstances, Yujun’s touch, offering help and care, would naturally be welcome.

“Then that’s settled.”

-You have formed a contract!
-You have become the partner of the black dragon Pargonia!
-You can now summon Pargonia!

Shriiek-!
A tattoo similar to when he contracted with Fen appeared across Yujun’s chest.
Now Yujun could summon Pargonia anytime, anywhere.

‘Now that we’ve contracted.’

Upon forming the contract, Yujun decided to give Pargonia a new name.
The Black Dragon of Ruin, Pargonia—neither a name she had chosen, nor one given with affection.

“I’ll give you a new name.”
“Kyarung.”

Since she was young, it was best to keep the name simple and cute.
Pargonia seemed too grand a name for her current size.

‘It’s also difficult to say.’

A black body, and round eyes.

‘Briquette.’

The name anyone would think of for a black pet had come to him.

“Let’s go with Tan.”

Since Fen was one syllable, it seemed right to match with one syllable as well.

“Gya-rung-.”

Pleased with the name, Tan let out a purring sound.

Ding-!

-A new feature of the Awakened Person Training System is unlocked according to the contract!

Shriiek-!

-You have learned a Demon Beast & Celestial Beast exclusive skill!
-Check your new exclusive skill!

The training method Yujun employed this time differed significantly from typical training approaches.
It was a training method that pushed the Exchange—which he had used when training Fen previously—to its limits, and he appeared to have obtained a new skill related to it.

‘An exclusive skill I can use on Demon Beasts and Celestial Beasts.’

Since the Tower of Infinity had no Demon Beast or Celestial Beast training, this exclusive skill was entirely new to him.

-Sun Hand
You gently stroke the target with a warm hand. The target’s intimacy increases. If the target harbors no hostility toward the trainer, intimacy increases twofold. However, if hostility exists, the effect is nullified.

So far, only this one exclusive skill, Sun Hand, had been unlocked.
But Sun Hand alone was an excellent skill.

‘There are conditions, but it’s better than I thought?’

Sun Hand.
A skill centered on intimacy—the most critical factor in taming a target.

‘If there’s no hostility, intimacy doubles.’

That part alone made it seem like a good skill, but one shouldn’t think so simply.

‘Just stretch out your hand to pet and your hand gets bitten off.’

Moreover, if hostility exists, the effect vanishes entirely.
You simply become someone stroking the creature.
But if you could eliminate hostility, the skill’s efficiency was very good.

‘Eliminating hostility doesn’t raise intimacy on its own.’

The skill was designed to enable quick taming once that hostility was removed.

‘And this is just the beginning.’

-Unlocked pending.
-Unlocked pending.
-Unlocked pending.

There were still three skills waiting to be unlocked.

This meant that beyond Fenrir, the legendary-grade Demon Beast, and the dragon, the Celestial Beast, there were many other beings he could tame.

‘I’m curious what else there might be.’

“…….”
“…….”
“…….”

Meanwhile, the trainers and Awakened Ones who witnessed the dragon cease attacking and obey Yujun’s commands fell into stunned silence.

“……Huh.”
“Am I really seeing this……?”

It had seemed strange from the start.
The way he evaded the breath attack.
And the training via his staff.
None of it aligned with Grade A.
It felt even beyond the S-grade trainers present here.

“You succeeded on the first attempt.”

Success on the first try alone.
A flawless success that far surpassed the trainers who had failed on their first and second attempts.
The trainers and Awakened Ones gathered here couldn’t grasp how to react to this situation.
Who among them could have predicted such circumstances?
Everyone had come prepared to stay for at least three months, so they’d brought three months’ worth of provisions and supplies.
Yet dragon training ended in less than a week.
And a trainer who had only just arrived would be the one to complete it.
So everyone was simply dumbstruck.
But only for a moment.
Clap-. Clap clap-.
The sound of applause rose from somewhere and gradually grew louder.
Clap clap clap clap-!

“Training like that deserves applause.”

They couldn’t help but applaud.
It was excellent training—magnificent training.
Whatever competition had brought them here, working in the same field meant applause was inevitable.
Clap clap clap clap-!

“Well done!”
“Truly remarkable!”
“The rumors about Korean trainers were apparently just rumors!”

Sarah Jennings also offered her applause with a faint smile.
She had witnessed excellent training for the first time in ages.
Something she lacked, something she hadn’t considered.
It was magnificent training that revealed both her shortcomings and the direction she needed to pursue.
Particularly, the way he copied her training method and made it his own drew involuntary admiration.

Until now, she had clung to her own training methods alone, but today she learned much.
She realized her conviction had been mere stubbornness, and that she needed to broaden her perspective.
She must think in diverse ways and accept the methods of others without hesitation.

“I should accept anything good.”

The team members each trainer had brought also began speaking excitedly about Yujun’s training.
Yujun’s training was remarkable, but there was something even more striking.

“Who is that person?”

And several turned their attention to Kim Gyu-cheol, Yujun’s only companion.

“He created an artifact in an instant.”
“And a high-quality one at that.”
“Korea had talent like this?”

Following Kang Yu-jun, now even Kim Gyu-cheol.
Korea’s level as reported in various media didn’t match this.
And Kim Gyu-cheol appeared quite young.

“Who exactly is he?”

Had they been deceived all this while?
Kim Gyu-cheol straightened his shoulders with evident satisfaction.

“It was the right choice to study under my teacher!”

Of course, Kim Gyu-cheol’s Korean meant nothing to those present who didn’t speak the language.
But it didn’t matter.
From this, they all understood.
The skill of his teacher, Kang Yu-jun.
It was visible just from his eyes.
Yujun chuckled at Kim Gyu-cheol and gave him a solid pat on the back.

“Bringing you along was worth it. You’re the treasure of our team.”
“Oh my. Why say such kind things?”

He looked quite embarrassed.

“Without you, I’d still be taking the trainer license exam today.”
“That you would.”

Yujun chuckled lightly, recalling those days.

“And I’ll go back to my workshop and create the Kilo Gauntlet again. Don’t worry.”

Yujun’s expression grew satisfied at Kim Gyu-cheol’s confident words.

‘Starting with the next training, I’ll be able to use the Kilo Gauntlet too.’

“So this means…….”
“It’s already over?”
“I really didn’t expect it.”
“Korea’s taking the dragon home.”
“Look at it now. It actually looks kind of cute…….”
“Isn’t this the first?”
“Shh, officially it’s the first, but…….”
“Sorry.”

As Yujun’s successful dragon training left the scene in considerable disarray,
an employee of the Russian Administration Office regained composure and shouted loudly.
The situation needed to be resolved quickly.

“Training has concluded!”
“Trainer Kang Yu-jun from South Korea has succeeded in dragon training! Ownership is transferred!”
“I repeat! Training has been concluded! Trainer Kang Yu-jun from South Korea has…….”

Training concluded.
With this, all official training was finished.

“It’s rigged!”

At that moment, Pyotr shouted loudly.
Crack-!
He cracked his whip hard and released mana.

“It’s, it’s impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Pyotr showed an intense reaction.
How could a dragon be tamed in such a manner?
Just a monster!
Just an A-grade trainer!

“……Honestly, it’s hard to believe.”

Hans was also discontent, though not as volatile.

“How does that dragon…… obey your commands?!”
“Because I tamed it.”

Yujun gestured toward Pargonia—no, toward Tan.

“Kyar-rur-rung-.”

Tan let out a fierce cry at Pyotr.

“Look at that wildness! There’s not a shred of intelligence in it! A dangerous beast! How is that training?!”

Tan harbored considerable resentment and ill will toward Pyotr from the whipping he had inflicted.
Her durable hide alone had allowed her to endure the pain.
But while she bore the pain and accepted Yujun’s training, Pyotr’s malice was something she could only rage against.

‘This works out well.’

He had been wanting to teach him a lesson anyway.
More than helpful training, he wanted to give him a real lesson.

“Tan, don’t.”

Yujun stopped her with words, but his actions showed her exactly what to do.
He casually released her, allowing her to move freely.
Crack-!
Freed, Tan spread her wings powerfully and charged, knocking Pyotr down immediately.

“Ugh-ack! Damn it!”

Pyotr scrambled back to his feet and moved to attack Tan.

“I’m sorry—I’ve been clumsy. It seems I haven’t trained the dragon properly, as you said. So even if I tell her not to, I doubt she’ll listen.”
“Kyar-rur-rung-.”

Tan let out a fierce cry and advanced forward.
Pyotr managed to get back up and seized his whip, but he was too slow.
Slice-! Slash-!
Tan unleashed an arc of mana that cut through Pyotr.
Of course, it wasn’t a true blade—it was a blade of mana, so no blood spilled.
But as his mana scattered, intense pain consumed him.

“Skreeeeeee-.”
“Ah, well, it’s unavoidable given my poor training technique. Tan, that’s enough.”

Yujun smiled and called Tan off.
But of course, Tan didn’t stop.
