Transcendent Genius Trainer, Episode 186

While the country was in an uproar over the queen’s arrival.
Yujun had just finished training the White Lightning Squad perfectly and was receiving their respectful thanks.

“Please accept our bow!”

The pain from the Lightning Mana had completely vanished.
It wasn’t just the pain that was gone—they no longer needed to suppress their strength when using Lightning Mana at all.
The Lightning Mana had returned.
An old companion had come back.

“We’ve only ever been betrayed.”

Great expectations breed great betrayals.
The White Lightning Squad Leader couldn’t quite believe it.
They had suffered for decades and tried everything to solve this, yet it was resolved in just a few hours.

Of course they couldn’t help but bow.
Watching their expressions, Yujun felt quite satisfied as well.

‘This is the real taste of it.’

That expression of being saved—that was the true sign that training had gone well.

‘But at this rate, they’ll bow once more, won’t they?’

Yujun smiled and spoke to those who were about to bow again, overcome with emotion.

“Please, not another bow out of sheer joy.”

And watching the White Lightning Squad members look sheepish, he continued.

“The training isn’t over yet.”

Choi Mu-ju possessed such potent Lightning Mana that he could self-recover simply by syncing the frequency with his body.
But these members could not.

‘They need additional training.’

And Yujun checked a few special individuals among them.

—Deep Scan!
—Confirming Hidden Traits!
—Hidden Trait: Blazing Lightning
—Hidden Trait: Lightning Acceleration
—Hidden Trait: Lightning Gale

‘Excellent Hidden Traits.’

If he trained them perfectly, he could store these Hidden Traits as well.

‘It’s best to acquire these while the opportunity is there.’

And half of the White Lightning Squad were Trainers.
So his plan was to learn their training methods while training them.
Even if they all handled Lightning Mana, the training methods had to differ slightly for each.

“Please put on the VR Machines, everyone.”

At Yujun’s words, all the White Lightning Squad members donned their VR Machines.

“This time, we’ll divide into Trainers and Awakeners for training.”

Whoooosh—.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

Before the Trainers stood many problematic Dummy Awakeners, just as with Choi Mu-ju.

“……!”
“This Dummy Awakener’s condition…….”

And before the Awakeners loomed a powerful monster, breathing heavily.
In a Berserk State.
On top of that, it was also in a Mana Rampage state.

“This difficulty seems a bit high…….”

But Yujun paid it no mind.

“You can handle it now. Don’t be afraid. Your Lightning Mana will no longer attack you.”

Yujun spoke with absolute certainty.
As they grew stronger, those days of being attacked by their own Lightning Mana would vanish.

“So grow with confidence.”

—VR Machine activated.

The monsters rushed at the Awakeners, and the Dummy Awakeners before the Trainers groaned.
Yujun first observed the Awakeners fighting the monsters.

“……!”

The Cheonrae Choi Family’s Awakeners couldn’t keep pace with the monster’s overwhelmingly fast attacks.

‘As expected.’

Though the Lightning Mana no longer caused them pain, the defensive mechanisms ingrained in their bodies over the years weren’t instantly resolved.

Yujun used Force Sync: Avatar to transmit movements to them.

‘Not backward—forward.’

Bold, cutting it close without quite crossing the line.

Crackle—!

“Huh?”

The White Lightning Squad’s Awakeners were startled.
They moved without moving themselves.

“From now on, my will shall dwell in your movements.”

Yujun spoke while carefully observing the Awakeners’ movements.

“I’m not forcibly imposing actions on you. I’m infusing the best movements you’re capable of achieving with my ability.”

‘Force Sync is a skill that draws ability to its limit.’

Movements they couldn’t achieve were impossible from the start.
Instead, it showed each Awakener their finest possible movements and actions.

‘Regardless of inner or outer.’

Crash—!
They perfectly evaded the monster’s incoming attack and wrapped lightning around themselves.
Crackle—!
Then a single blow.

Whoooosh—.
The monster collapsed to the ground in an instant.

“……I could move like that?”
“Yes. You simply didn’t know.”

Whoooosh—.
The monster was summoned again.

“Remember that movement and try once more.”

Yujun now wielded the Geumgang Iron Staff alongside Force Sync.

‘Force Sync alone can’t reshape the internal Mana Roads.’

Just as he had with Choi Mu-ju, he widened the cramped Mana Roads and connected the severed sections.
Crash! Crash!
The results left the White Lightning Squad stunned.

“This can’t be…….”
“A difficulty level we’ve never even attempted…….”

The highest difficulty in the VR Machine.
They’d defeated the Stone Dragon.
That creature they’d always struggled with because Lightning didn’t work on it.
They’d had to switch their Lightning to fight it, and had needed to compensate for the resulting loss of firepower.
But now all of that was solved.

The Cheonrae Choi Family’s Awakeners trembled.
The White Lightning Squad Leader was frightened of Yujun now.
He was operating on an entirely different level from their understanding.
He’d trained a hero, trained Prince K from Japan, already trained three SS-rankers, and…….
Hearing it secondhand, one thought it impressive.

But experiencing it directly…… was something else entirely.
Goosebumps covered their entire bodies.
They finally understood why the Three Great Trainers, once called the nation’s finest, couldn’t accomplish what Yujun had.
Kang Yu-jun was a genius.
An overwhelmingly transcendent one.

“Is this what a world-class Trainer is like……?”

While the Awakeners marveled in shock,
Yujun turned his attention to the Trainers.

Gulp—.
The Trainers who’d just witnessed the Awakeners’ training grew tense.

“There’s no need to be nervous. You’ll just do your own training.”

The Dummy Awakeners’ condition was quite poor.
Just as with Choi Mu-ju, he’d created the worst possible Dummy Awakeners for them.

“I’m right behind you.”

Yujun gripped the Geumgang Iron Staff firmly.

“Put your mind at ease.”

But for the Trainers, ease was impossible.

“Hah!”

Still, training had to be done.
The Trainers began their training, releasing Lightning Mana.

‘So they use Lightning to move through acupoints and stimulate the body’s interior, like Choi Mu-ju.’

But each one used the method differently.

‘Fascinating.’

One Trainer touched the Dummy Awakener’s heart.
He’d used Lightning Mana to elevate the heart rate and greatly increase the body’s activation level.

‘He managed the mana backflow very simply.’

Though it was extremely risky and wasted a lot of unnecessary Lightning Mana.
Yujun immediately applied Force Sync to that Trainer.

“You’re losing too much escaping mana. Be more efficient.”

But the method itself was good.

“It’s an excellent approach.”

Yujun then turned his head to another Trainer.

“Oh.”

This one was training by stimulating the electrical signals traveling from the brain to the muscles.

‘This is fun. Really fun.’

Training was indeed fun.
Yujun absorbed it all into his mind.

***

Just one day.
In just a single day, all of the Cheonrae Choi Family’s Awakeners were beginning to change.
And Yujun’s training methods were evolving as well.

‘Outstanding training. To think they could be applied so diversely. There’s much for me to learn.’

Of course, since Yujun didn’t use Lightning Mana, he couldn’t employ their methods directly.
But he had an Awakener training system that could fulfill that role.

“Huff…… huff…….”

One of the White Lightning Squad members who’d been training under Yujun collapsed.
But only from exhaustion.
Choi Mu-ju checked his condition and raised his head to speak to Yujun.

“Trainer Kang. I’d like to learn about training from you.”

Choi Mu-ju’s expression was serious.
He was a senior who’d been a Trainer for decades before Kang Yu-jun.
But having witnessed Yujun’s training, seniority and junior status mattered little.
What needed learning had to be learned.

Yujun’s training stood several tiers above.
Perhaps even unreachable.
Yet failing to learn it meant abandoning any future growth.

“The honor is mine, Family Head Choi.”

‘The Cheonrae Choi Family’s training methods interest me as well.’

Choi Mu-ju’s potential was certainly remarkable.
Having trained him, he would surely rise higher as a Trainer.

‘And establishing a good relationship with the Cheonrae Choi Family would be wise.’

“Then for today…….”

Training continued the entire day.
With at least twelve hours of training under their belts, it was now time to rest.

“No. I’m ready. My body is quite limbered up.”
“……Ready?”
“Ready to meet Trainer Choi Yu-na.”

It was now time to meet Choi Yu-na.

***

Choi Yu-na was meditating with her eyes closed.

—You must rest absolutely.
—It’s becoming difficult to suppress the Lightning Mana any further.

She was the light of her family.
From childhood, she’d displayed uncommon talent.
She handled Lightning Mana as though it were a plaything, summoning and dismissing it at will.

She possessed far more mana than adults, controlled it remarkably, and above all, had a transcendent gift for understanding it.
Beginning with removing the flaws of the White Lightning Squad’s Awakeners, she’d demonstrated Trainer talent without ever receiving formal training.

The Choi Family invested enormous resources into her.
Perhaps Choi Yu-na could solve the family’s problems.
The burden once carried by Choi Mu-ju had shifted to her.
An endless flood of support.
She received every support available.

—The family’s future depends on you, Yu-na.
—We’re counting on you.

When encouragement ceased being encouragement,
her Lightning Mana began attacking her.

She didn’t despair.
Rather, she welcomed it.
She resolved to overcome this symptom that everyone in the Choi Family had succumbed to.

“…….”

But the outcome was devastating.
She surrendered to the symptom faster than anyone else.
Her powerful Lightning Mana had returned with equal force.
Recalling the past, Choi Yu-na released a deep sigh.

“Sigh…….”

No amount of deep breathing could help her manage her mind.

Daughter of Choi Mu-ju.
Granddaughter of Choi Cheon-gang.
She wanted to forget all those titles.

Just Choi Yu-na of the Cheonrae Choi Family.
She wanted to be recognized without any other qualification.

“I don’t know anymore.”

But that was all in the past now.
She should’ve forgotten, but she couldn’t live forgetting it.

Tap-tap—.
She struck the medicine bottle and took the last pill.

Gulp—.
A Mana Suppression Pill.
Taking this now allowed her to forcibly control the Lightning Mana.
But taking it meant she couldn’t use mana at all, and the side effects were severe.
Yet not taking it risked seriously injuring herself and others.

“Sigh…….”

The Lightning Mana that once made her the country’s most promising Trainer was now consuming her.

“Can’t even control it alone.”

This passive existence was deeply humiliating to her.
Especially since she’d lived a brilliant life from childhood.

“I heard Trainer Kang Yu-jun went through this too.”

The Golden Youth.
In truth, they’d lived in the same era.
Kang Yu-jun’s era came slightly before, but the nickname Golden Youth was something she’d heard constantly.

He would become Korea’s representative Awakener.
A world-class Awakener.
He’d been praised by countless Scouts and Awakeners alike, but ultimately failed to Awaken and collapsed.

Yet now he stood as a world-class Trainer.

“Me…….”

Choi Yu-na thought of Yujun.
The Kang Yu-jun she’d seen in person didn’t give off any sense of being special.

“You seemed like you were trying to scan.”

Any Trainer would naturally be frightened by her current state.
Her entire body was wrapped in Lightning Mana, and the damage it caused was enormous.

The most terrifying part was that she seemed fine at first glance.
Touching her carelessly could put the Trainer themselves in serious danger.

“I’m curious.”

What kind of training would Kang Yu-jun conduct at the Cheonrae Choi Family?
How would he proceed?

And whether he would take on her training challenge.

“…….”

But she didn’t hold great hope.
Great expectations breed great betrayals.

“If only the other adults and cousins could recover…….”

If the White Lightning Squad, the core of the Cheonrae Choi Family, could be trained to recover, that alone would be a relief.
But even that would be difficult.
The family’s Trainers, who’d handled and trained Lightning Mana their entire lives, struggled with it. There was no way an outsider like Kang Yu-jun could achieve it in such a short time.

Knock-knock—.
Someone knocked on the door at that moment.

“You were resting.”
“……Trainer Kang?”

She couldn’t help but be surprised that he’d come for her so suddenly.

In that instant, Yujun’s pupils glowed red.

—Divine Eye activated.

Things invisible to the Mystic Eye at its limit were all visible to the Divine Eye.
Crackle—.
Crackle-crackle-crackle—!

‘She took a Mana Suppression Pill.’

Even so, it wasn’t being suppressed properly.

‘Remarkable talent.’

More mana than any other Awakener or Trainer in the Cheonrae Choi Family.

‘But her body hasn’t fully grown yet.’

“What brings you here…….”
“I’m ready.”

Choi Yu-na wore a confused expression at Yujun’s words.

“Ready?”
“You need to prepare for your comeback.”
“……!”
“Training is ready to begin.”

Yujun examined Choi Yu-na’s body once more.
Just yesterday, when he first came to the family and saw her, he’d thought it would be impossible for now.
But now it was possible.

Whoosh—.
Yujun’s pupils turned completely red.

—Divine Eye activated!

An eye that pierces truth.
The Divine Eye saw through Choi Yu-na entirely.

“This morning I couldn’t be certain.”

After scanning her, Yujun grinned.

“But now I can say with certainty.”
