Transcendent Genius Trainer – Episode 154

Tokyo.
Several quite famous Trainers from Japan had gathered at Tokyo 1st Training Ground, Japan’s largest training facility.

“Yamamoto has come as well?”
“Wow, it’s been ages since I’ve seen Yamamoto.”

They exchanged greetings with one another, as if they were acquainted.
The reason they had all gathered here was simple enough.
A request for cultural exchange had come from Kang Yu-jun, who had trained Prince K.

“We understand you have skill. You’ve accomplished something remarkable.”

The training Yujun had given to Prince K had truly been magnificent.
But because of this training, the S-rank Licensed Trainers within Japan were facing criticism.

“We did avoid it, didn’t we?”
“It was unavoidable, wasn’t it?”

Though they didn’t say it outright, Prince K’s training had been a hot potato.
Not only was the difficulty too high, but the consensus was that the golden window had already passed.
So they all rationalized it as unavoidable, but now a Trainer from another country had solved it, leaving them without excuse.
They said it was already too late and dangerous, yet a young Korean Trainer resolved it perfectly in no time at all.

Cowards. Runners.
The words were true, but there was a sense of injustice in it.
That’s why they accepted the exchange.
They were curious about exactly who Kang Yu-jun was, and how he had trained Prince K.

“Let’s see through this exchange what kind of training Trainer Kang Yu-jun does.”

As Yamamoto listened to the other S-rank Trainers speak, he closed his eyes.
He knew Prince K’s condition better than anyone else.
He had examined it carefully himself.
That was something that could never be easily trained.
In fact, it was in a state where training was impossible.

……

The rampage had gone on so long that his body had essentially melted, and even if they attempted circuit reconstruction, it was questionable whether the body could endure it.
Moreover, they had to stop the rampage first, but that very rampage was what sustained Prince K right now.
Everything had been destroyed by the rampage, yet ironically that same rampage was the only thing keeping him alive.
It was like a candle burning brightly—he simply could not accept such a request.

He had been a member of the royal family beloved by the entire nation.
But he couldn’t promise to do something he couldn’t do.
And yet……

“How on earth……”

That’s why Yamamoto had come.
He wanted to ask Kang Yu-jun.
At first, he might not have known the condition and accepted anyway.
But having seen it directly, refusing would have been the right choice.
Any S-rank Licensed Trainer would have done the same.
So why had he resolved to attempt the training?
He was curious about that reason.

“Trainer Kang Yu-jun has arrived.”

At that moment, as Yujun entered, everyone fell silent.

“Good day to you all.”

Yujun greeted them respectfully in fluent English.
Since they were top-tier Trainers even in Japan, he assumed they all spoke English.

“Thank you all for coming despite the sudden request. I’ve heard much about Japan’s Trainers.”

South Korea and Japan had once been nations that exchanged frequently with each other.
They had exchanged several times before the gap in level became apparent, but after the great catastrophe involving Yamamoto Junya, exchanges had ceased entirely.

As he spoke, Yujun observed the Japanese Trainers.
Whoosh—!
Crackle.

‘They all have golden light pouring from their eyes.’

Moreover, there were some Trainers who had golden light emanating from certain parts of their bodies.

‘The strongest one is…… clearly that person.’

Yamamoto Junya, considered Japan’s greatest Trainer.

‘Yamamoto’s Connection Training was impressive.’

But the Japanese Trainers Yujun had deliberately called here today, while they might fall short of Yamamoto Junya, each had strengths worth showcasing.
Because Yujun had carefully selected such Trainers.

‘I want to learn from all of them.’

The Japanese Trainers also returned Yujun’s respectful greeting with equal formality.

“We’re the ones grateful to you for conducting this exchange.”
“Prince K’s training was something we couldn’t accomplish. We were all very curious how you succeeded at it.”

Their needs aligned perfectly.

“Then shall we begin right away? We’ll proceed with the VR Machine.”

At Yujun’s signal, staff from the Ministry quickly set up the machines.

‘It would be nice to do this with real Awakened Ones, but there’s no time.’

Yujun had no intention of staying long in Japan.
Unless something came up, he planned to leave that very evening.

The training exchange proceeded first with the VR Machine.
Fundamentally, the VR Machine could generate Awakened Ones in numerous states, and it was a convenient method in many ways.

‘Like training a real Awakened One.’

Click. Click-click.
The moment everyone put on the VR Machines, five Awakened Ones were instantly generated.
Overload, neural circuit issues, backflow, brittle body, and weak Mana Road.
Awakened Ones with diverse conditions were created.

“I’ll go first.”

At that, one of Japan’s S-rank Trainers stepped forward immediately.

“I’m beginning.”

He quickly attached sensors to the generated Awakened One using the VR Machine’s functions.
Then, moving his hands like he was typing, keyboard clicks—tap tap—followed as information began to pour onto the screen.

Muscle movement.
Mana output.

He grasped the Awakened One’s information and instantly identified problems and improvements, then immediately began training.

‘Trainers with S-rank Licenses generally possess abilities related to training.’

Yujun observed the Trainer’s training carefully.
Without such abilities, it was basically impossible to become an S-rank Trainer.

“Rapid Growth.”

Instantly, the Awakened One’s body began to glow where the Trainer’s hands touched it.

“There’s an overload issue. Finding the area causing the strain…… I’ll reinforce it. Then it’s simply solved.”

Whoosh—!
Normally, it wouldn’t end so easily.
Reinforcing the area causing strain?

‘You’d normally need repetitive training.’

Or you’d have to connect the circuit with Mana, expand it, or something similar.
A problem that Yujun would solve by striking the Crystal Stone Staff’s interior, then injecting Mana, this Trainer had resolved instantly through his Awakened ability.

‘The gap in capability from having an ability.’

But it wasn’t simply a matter of relying on the ability.

‘Where exactly to apply the ability depends on experience and skill.’

The speed at which he processed information via the VR Machine was extraordinary.
The overloaded Awakened One’s problem was resolved in an instant.

“Well done.”

It was an excellent method.

“Next, I’ll go.”

The next Trainer to come forward also showed considerable skill, as if grinding their teeth in determination.

‘He’s honed his Awakened ability to its limit.’

He’d refined it over and over, sharpening it into a keen training tool capable of handling any Awakened One.

‘He’s trying to balance both speed and perfection.’

In South Korea, they would have focused on one or the other.

‘The standards are definitely different. Everyone here sets the bar high.’

But where does such a high standard come from?
Yujun’s eyes moved quickly.
Japan’s S-rank Trainers had a different depth in teaching Awakened Ones, along with the Awakened abilities they possessed.

“Nano Analysis.”

The third Trainer deployed the Nano Analysis skill, beginning to deconstruct and recombine the Awakened One.

‘That’s interesting.’

The Awakened Ones generated by the VR Machine trembled suddenly, then began to emit blue light.

‘Even if they’re artificially generated Awakened Ones, they’re fundamentally created around data.’

Because of that, the margin of error compared to real Awakened Ones was minimal.

‘Of course, there’s a big difference from actually training a real Awakened One.’

Yujun was impressed as he watched their training methods.

‘There’s much to learn here.’

All the Japanese Trainers showed their training methods, and soon it was the final turn.
Yamamoto Junya.
Yujun was quite anticipating this Trainer as well.

The Japanese Trainers also lit up as they focused on Yamamoto Junya.
Yamamoto Junya was an S among S-ranks.
The S of S-ranks.
Everyone watched intently, their eyes gleaming.

“As you all know, my training is called Connection Training.”

Whoosh—
The moment Yamamoto finished his explanation, he released Mana, then refined it into threads so thin they were almost invisible.

“Connect.”

Then he connected with the last Awakened One.
Slip—
Whoooooosh—!

Yamamoto Junya’s training connected himself to the Awakened One and transmitted his experience directly to them.

‘I’ve heard it’s a Unique Ability.’

There were standardized Awakened abilities, but there were also unique abilities that existed only in one individual, like Yamamoto Junya’s.
His unique ability was originally a Possession-type ability that could make targets move like puppets.

‘Who could have known he’d apply it to training like this.’

It was only possible because he possessed vast knowledge about training and rich real-world experience as an Awakened One.

Whoosh—!
Yamamoto Junya’s knowledge transferred completely to the Awakened One.

‘He uses this Possession to instantly erase shortcomings and overlay his own methods.’

It wasn’t merely that the ability was impressive.

‘Fascinating.’

“That training would be impossible without that ability.”
“So the ability is truly the most important thing.”

The other Japanese Trainers focused on his ability, but Yujun did not.
Rather, Yamamoto Junya’s Awakened ability merely assisted his training method.
The real secret was in that overlaying technique.

‘He creates the correct answer himself and injects that answer. Precisely.’

Through Possession, Yamamoto himself injected the answer key, so there was no room for error.
That’s why both quick and accurate training became possible.

‘And when the Possession is released, the imprinted method is repeated over and over.’

That was an extremely effective method for Yujun as well.
He couldn’t use Possession, but without it, Yujun could still convey his training methods accurately.

‘But doing it his way would be far more efficient.’

Yujun absorbed Yamamoto’s method, adapting it to his own approach.

“Wow……”
……

When Yamamoto’s training ended, everyone was amazed.

“……That concludes my presentation.”

Yujun applauded and expressed his gratitude.

“Well done. It’s my turn now, I believe.”

He then set the VR Machine difficulty to maximum.
The problems that had been divided among the five Awakened Ones were now consolidated into a single Awakened One.
And he randomized it.
To create a completely different problem than before.

Whoosh—
An Awakened One was generated with red light, cracks, and a Mana Road that was completely contorted.

“……!”
“……!”
“……!”

All the Trainers were shocked.
Just looking at it was enough to make one sigh in despair.
If an Awakened One in such a state requested training, they would all say the same thing.

-It’s impossible.

“I don’t think what you’re curious about is simply my training method. That’s why I set up this Awakened One. Please understand that Prince K’s condition was actually more severe than this hypothetical case.”

Trainers typically don’t showcase their training openly.

‘But the more I exchange, the more I gain.’

Watching another Trainer’s methods is of great benefit to Yujun.

Moreover, Yujun’s training didn’t need to be hidden.

‘When Trainers influenced by my training grow, I receive points.

If they grow from being influenced by his training, Yujun gains Points accordingly.
And if they can’t replicate it, his image rises accordingly.
While many Trainers kept their methods secret, a Trainer who openly shared would be viewed favorably.

‘For me, it’s a training full of benefits.’

Yujun smiled to himself.

‘Thanks to Trainer Yamamoto, I learned many things.’

He should put them to use right away.
Yujun immediately began training.

Crackle—
Yujun’s eyes pierced through everything about the Awakened One.

-Scanning Awakened One!

‘Mana Road anomaly, backflow, raging inflammation.’

Combined with the worst physical condition and bad habits, along with misaligned Mana Road usage.
Long-term and short-term problems were mixed together, making it difficult to train.

‘First, I’ll use Divine Eye to confirm the microfractures and dead points.’

Whoosh—

“Domain Declaration.”

Yujun focused everything he had learned into this very moment.
He intended to properly test the finest and best training he could offer here and now.

He immediately struck the Awakened One with the Crystal Stone Staff.
Correcting the Mana Road anomaly and backflow simultaneously, he suppressed the inflammation through the Song of Destruction.

Whoosh—!

-Inflammation index decreased.
-Mana Road normalized.
-Mana backflow normalized.

Before their eyes, the numbers displayed by the VR Machine changed in an instant.

“……?”
“The inflammation…… resolved in a single swing of the staff……”

They expressed their bewilderment in Japanese.
Because it was a VR Machine, it was all the more clearly visible.

“That’s absurd……”
“What is this……”

They had already anticipated he was skilled, having trained Prince K.
Moreover, they had heard about Yujun from Trainer Sato.
To hear even the composed Sato speak excitedly about incredible skill was telling enough.

But to this extent…… they certainly hadn’t expected.
Swinging a staff once to correct the body’s interior?

“Is this the level required to train Prince K?”

Yujun, who trained Prince K that no Trainer in Japan could accomplish.

“……When you think about it, it makes sense.”

They all thought the same thing at once.
Where exactly did such a monstrous Trainer come from in South Korea?

Yujun paid no attention to their reactions, focusing on the training.
He immediately applied weight using the Kilo Gauntlet.

-Adjusting weight!

High-intensity training.

‘So I don’t need to include real combat with Fen and others to impose a limit yet.’

Whoosh—
In that state, he used Synchronization and Immediate Correction to imprint the sensation into memory.
And Yujun went one step further.

‘I’ll adopt the method I saw from Yamamoto Junya.’

Crack—!
Yujun swung the staff forcefully to repair the Mana Road.

“……!”

Yamamoto’s eyes went wide.
That method of repairing the Mana Road. It was his own technique.

……

Yujun then immediately cast ability enhancement.
Whoosh—!

-Awakened One ability enhanced.
-Awakened One rapid growth.
-Outstanding training.
-Outstanding training.

The VR Machine poured out praise like crazy.
And then.

-Training complete.
-Awakened One normalized.

The Awakened One that had been set to be nearly dead was instantly normalized.

“I learned a lot as well, so I hope you take much from this.”
……

At Yujun’s words, the Japanese Trainers let out hollow laughs or vacant stares.
How were they supposed to replicate something like this?
