Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 15

“It’s been a while!”

“It’s been a while, Guild Master.”

Sky Guild’s Guild Master’s Office.

A rather young man was sitting in front of the Guild Master.

Short hair and intense eyes.

A powerful aura emanated from his body.

“A bit noisy, isn’t it? The internal evaluation was just recently.”

“Internal evaluation, I miss it. It feels like yesterday when we were crying and laughing over that one evaluation.”

A-rank Awakened Im Seok-jae.

An Awakened from Sky Guild’s youth program, he had elevated the guild’s prestige in many ways when he belonged to the guild.

His contribution was significant in bringing many youths to Sky Guild currently.

“You were always overwhelmingly in first place, weren’t you? Thanks to that, many other youths joined as well. It’s already been several years. A-rank, you’ve really achieved great success.”

Up to B-rank could be considered a level reachable through effort.

But A-rank was different.

For A-rank, effort was basic, and it was a stage that could only be reached with innate talent backing it up.

That’s why A-rank was considered a great success in the world.

“Time really flies.”

There must have been a reason why a skilled Awakened like Im Seok-jae chose Sky Guild.

Of course, Im Seok-jae transferred to another guild not long after.

It was due to Sky Guild’s financial situation.

As soon as Im Seok-jae was called up, he transferred to another guild, leaving Sky Guild with an enormous transfer fee.

That’s why Sky Guild maintained a very good relationship with him.

“How are things lately? Your expression doesn’t look too good.”

It was natural for him to visit due to their friendship, but he didn’t always come without reason.

Often, whenever he had concerns, he would visit Guild Master Lee Hyeok-jun for consultation.

“There are many difficult aspects in various ways. I need to clear the 35th Floor, but I’ve hit my limit now.”

“Limit?”

“Yes, both in terms of ability utilization and physical aspects, it’s really tough.”

Im Seok-jae explained his condition while saying this.

Guild Master Lee Hyeok-jun clicked his tongue while listening.

“They say the 35th Floor is the first gateway, and it’s certainly fierce.”

There were sections in the Tower where the difficulty jumped up significantly.

The 35th Floor was exactly that floor, where the difficulty rose sharply, making it a so-called speed bump floor.

“If I can’t break through the 35th Floor, I’ll end up in the lower ranks of A-rank. If I’m unlucky, I might even be demoted to B-rank.”

He could be considered the lowest-ranking A-rank Awakened right now.

But his goal wasn’t to remain in the lower ranks of A-rank.

To leap to the upper ranks of A-rank and enter the rankings, he needed achievements.

Naturally, those achievements included clearing the 35th Floor.

“If you happen to know any good trainers…”

“Doesn’t Thunder Guild also have decent trainers?”

Lee Hyeok-jun tilted his head.

Thunder Guild was ranked 35th.

Naturally, they would have good trainers befitting that level.

“Yes, there are. But they couldn’t solve my problem. Actually, they don’t match well with me either. I don’t understand well. I understand it in my head, but my body won’t follow, so it’s torture.”

Im Seok-jae sighed while saying this.

“It’s been almost a year since I’ve been in this state.”

His complexion had certainly been dark every time he visited recently.

Who would have thought he was carrying such a problem.

“Hmm? Then did you perhaps come knowing about it?”

“Pardon? Come knowing about what?”

“I signed a contract with a new trainer. It’s a short-term contract, but… he’s an amazing trainer. Thanks to that trainer’s teaching, Woo Ha-na has completely changed.”

Guild Master Lee Hyeok-jun immediately played a video after saying that. It was Woo Ha-na’s Tower debut video.

Im Seok-jae also knew about Woo Ha-na since he frequently visited Sky Guild.

“…!”

Im Seok-jae, who watched the video, asked with a surprised expression.

“Is that really Miss Woo Ha-na?”

“Amazing, isn’t it? It must be even more amazing for you since you’ve taught Woo Ha-na before.”

Im Seok-jae had taught Woo Ha-na at the Guild Master’s request.

That’s why he couldn’t help but be amazed at Woo Ha-na’s transformation.

Woo Ha-na had problems that seemed impossible to fix, but those problems had completely disappeared.

“Who on earth trained her? Who is this new trainer?”

“You really didn’t know when you came?”

Lee Hyeok-jun said that and made an “ah” expression.

“Come to think of it, weren’t you also at Promise? Then you would know.”

“Ah, yes. I was there very briefly when I was young.”

“It’s Kang Yu-jun. The trainer we newly contracted. You know him, right? He was at Promise during your youth days.”

“What?”

Im Seok-jae asked with a puzzled expression.

“Trainer Kang Yu-jun. Trainer Kang taught Woo Ha-na.”

“…What?”

Why on earth was he here?

And a trainer? What did that even mean?

“He switched careers. To become a trainer.”

Suddenly, various memories began flashing through Im Seok-jae’s mind.

“He was teaching the youth until recently, but now I’m thinking of having him handle first-team Awakened. He originally said he wanted to teach directly.”

“First-team Awakened, you mean?”

He had heard the news that Kang Yu-jun was released from Promise Guild.

It was really just recently.

If he switched to being a trainer, unless he had prepared separately, he wouldn’t have much experience.

Was he already at the level of training first-team Awakened?

“No way.”

Then suddenly, childhood memories began to surface.

Memories of how he had overcome his wall back then started to emerge.

“You said you needed training, right? Then this works out well. How about receiving it from Trainer Kang?”

“I’ll go take a look first.”

* * *

“You’re saying 10 minutes is enough?”

At Kang Yu-jun’s confident words, all the Awakened in the training room were flustered.

Break through a wall in just 10 minutes?

“Sorry, but I’m not a youth, Trainer.”

No, even for youth, breaking through a wall in under 10 minutes was impossible.

“Will you accept it?”

However, Yujun only asked again.

Whether he would accept the training.

Kim O-jung was at a loss for how to respond.

Should this be called confidence or recklessness?

10 minutes—it was an absurd timeframe.

But how could he show such confidence?

“….”

Kim O-jung frowned.

Nothing to lose.

And he wanted to see what the basis for that confidence was.

Seeing that expression, Yujun ran his hand through his hair.

‘I know my reputation isn’t good. But that’s not what’s important. What’s important is the limit of my abilities.’

How far his newly learned skills and insight could reach.

His eye for observation was something he was born with.

With the Awakened Trainer System and skills on top of that, he was curious how much he could teach now.

And he was also curious how much stronger he could make them.

“Understood. I’ll accept it.”

Kim O-jung agreed after much consideration.

“Please train me.”

Yujun smiled lightly and observed him closely.

-Beginning Awakened scan!

“Then let’s start the training.”

* * *

Kim O-jung maintained his silence.

He seemed quite confident, so after saying he would request training, he hadn’t said another word.

Normally, he should have spoken about various things directly.

How he preferred to receive training.

Whether theoretical understanding or instinctive understanding suited him better.

And why he felt blocked by a wall.

Usually, they would discuss these various topics before creating a curriculum.

However, Kim O-jung didn’t talk about anything.

It was natural. He had said he would break through the wall in 10 minutes.

That meant he could see through everything just by observing, didn’t it?

It was childish behavior, but he simply couldn’t trust Kang Yu-jun that much.

As for the achievements he had shown as a trainer, teaching Woo Ha-na was his highest point.

Turning a youth whose reputation was declining into an Awakened at the level of Sales Team 1 in an instant.

But wasn’t that Woo Ha-na being amazing rather than Kang Yu-jun?

While a trainer’s role was important in improving an Awakened’s skills, hadn’t Kang Yu-jun just helped a little with a wall that was already completely broken?

That thought was dominant.

So he maintained his silence.

And.

“Could you try using your ability once?”

Kim O-jung’s ability was petrification.

It was an ability that could harden parts of his body, and could be used in various ways.

Whoosh-!

Kim O-jung instantly petrified his entire body while throwing a punch. It was the powerful strike that had gotten him promoted to Sales Team 1.

Everyone admired the sound of air being torn that spread around them.

Yujun quietly watched Kim O-jung’s movements.

The blue light was vivid for a moment, but there was a very brief crack.

That crack disappeared in an instant.

‘His skills are considerable.’

That’s why even when problems arose, they were quickly resolved.

But because of that one crack, the blue light couldn’t grow any larger.

‘He’s instinctively holding back. Plus his mental strength is low.’

That meant there might be psychological issues.

-Your insight becomes even better.

-Your analytical ability increases!

“You’re holding back, aren’t you?”

Flinch-.

Kim O-jung, who had been continuing his attack, stopped his movements completely.

“Did you get injured when you were young?”

“….”

Kim O-jung looked at Kang Yu-jun with a surprised expression.

There was no way he could know about him.

“You can tell just by watching?”

“You shrink your shoulders momentarily. You extend fully, then stop like hitting the brakes suddenly at the end. Then there’s only one answer. You’re afraid to give your all. Why would you be afraid?”

Whoosh-.

Kang Yu-jun extended his hand.

“There must have been pain, right? An experience of getting hurt after giving your all.”

“….”

“You know me, don’t you, Kim O-jung? Do you know how many failures I’ve experienced? How many times have I been injured? Being non-awakened, I carried around every injury imaginable.”

Kang Yu-jun said with a smile.

However, the content wasn’t something to smile about.

With him being so open, Kim O-jung couldn’t hide it anymore either.

“…You’re right. I have been injured before.”

Just once.

He never thought someone could see through him this thoroughly just by watching him use his ability and move his body.

But knowing the circumstances wouldn’t change anything.

“Because of this problem, I couldn’t play a proper role in the Tower.”

He found himself confessing without realizing it.

Yujun patted his shoulder.

“Don’t worry.”

Kim O-jung looked at Kang Yu-jun.

His eyes had completely changed.

Just one movement.

With that single movement, he had seen through everything about him.

He might have heard about it beforehand.

But Yujun’s ability to instantly take control of the atmosphere left no room for other thoughts.

‘In this state, ordinary trainers would never be able to solve this.’

In fact, the first-string dedicated trainers couldn’t handle the situation, and Kim O-jung was worrying about it every day because of that.

When trauma was the cause, how could it be easily fixed?

But Yujun could fix it.

“Straighten your shoulders. And swing with all your might.”

-Word Correction is being used.

Whoosh-!

After all, he had Word Correction.

“…Huh?”

Kim O-jung had an instinctive fear.

The fear that extreme pain would come if he gave his all.

No matter how much he tried to shake it off, it wouldn’t disappear.

But now that fear had vanished.

And he could extend his arm perfectly.

It was the most straight and powerful strike among all the punches he had thrown so far.

He had extended so powerfully that too much mana drained out instantly, leaving him breathless.

Then Yujun’s voice reached him.

“There are still 8 minutes left.”

As the training began in earnest.

Im Seok-jae was watching everything from behind the Training Ground.

“I had a feeling, but….”

It really was Kang Yu-jun.

Im Seok-jae recalled Kang Yu-jun from back then.

He had broken through his wall with just one piece of advice Kang Yu-jun had given him at that time.

The current Kang Yu-jun was much sharper than the Kang Yu-jun from back then.

“To think he solved the problem so easily.”

Of course, Im Seok-jae knew well.

The fact that it looked easy meant Kang Yu-jun’s training skills were that remarkable.

“Khuk.”

Kim O-jung, who was receiving training, began to shed tears.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

“The training isn’t over yet. Don’t forget that sensation you just felt.”

Since Kang Yu-jun had fixed a problem that was thought to be absolutely incurable, the first-string Awakened around them began to gather.

At that moment, Im Seok-jae stepped forward.

He felt that if he missed this opportunity, there wouldn’t be another chance to talk with Yujun.

“Kang Yu-jun.”

At Im Seok-jae’s call, Yujun turned around. Then he approached with a surprised expression and a smile.

“Who… Seok-jae?”

Yujun looked at Seok-jae with a surprised expression.

Im Seok-jae.

It was a familiar face.

But what stood out even more was his physical condition.

‘Why is his body in this state?’

Yujun could see very large and deep cracks in Im Seok-jae.

“Do you have heart problems?”

Im Seok-jae’s pupils dilated greatly in that instant.
