Transcendent Genius Trainer 195

“A squad?”
“Yes. My explanation was a bit lacking. You know about the Tower of Ashes, don’t you?”
“Ah, you mean Grey.”

The Tower of Ashes went by different names depending on the country.
In England, they called this Tower of Ashes “Grey.”

“Yes, I know about it. In England, we’re already in the process of conquering Grey. I received an offer myself.”

Meryl had heard that South Korea had only just begun.

“I intend to conquer that Tower of Ashes.”

Tower conquest.
Meryl was puzzled by Yujun’s sudden words.
Why would Yujun, who had been so focused on training until now, suddenly want to conquer a tower?

“Why do you intend to conquer Grey?”

Trainers generally didn’t set goals to conquer towers.
Most trainers simply weren’t strong in combat.
Towers were quite dangerous, and even Awakeners with exceptional combat abilities could be badly injured or killed.
As a result, Trainers—essentially non-combatants—would only drag others down.
No matter how much they helped in battle, when truly dangerous situations arose, they’d need to rely on Awakeners for protection.

That’s why Trainers typically focused on training outside towers.
Yet he suddenly wanted to conquer the Tower of Ashes.
Once again, Yujun was walking a path completely different from other Trainers.

“To pursue better training.”
…!

To climb a tower for better training—what an idea.
Meryl found herself laughing despite herself.
It was so very Yujun.

“You’re truly taking a difficult path. I’ve heard the interior is very dangerous and hard.”
“Yes. That’s why I intend to climb it.”

Yujun spoke with a smile.
Meryl paused to gather her thoughts, then spoke.

“I believe I’ve reached the limit of how fast I can become.”

Her ability, Sprint, had reached its ceiling.
No one could catch her anymore.

“That’s not arrogance. It’s confidence. I think you understand that better than anyone, Trainer Kang.”

After all, it was Yujun who had trained her and would know best.

“Can you still become faster here?”
“You can become faster.”

Yujun spoke with certainty.

“My training skills have improved.”

She had grown to her limit.
But now Yujun could provide training that would raise that ceiling and push her one step further.

-Deep Scan activates!

‘Excellent.’

Meryl, whom Yujun had personally trained, appeared to have trained fiercely even while in England.
Shhhaa—.

‘Her entire body is brimming with golden light.’

Legs, thighs, waist, shoulders.
The areas currently radiating golden light were the very parts Yujun had trained during that first session.

‘Excellent.’

Shhhaa—!
Strengthening these areas around Yujun’s training had made them stable, as it should be.

‘But there’s one part I didn’t fully address.’

Her ankles.
Her ankles were far too delicate.

‘Her ankles are responsible for the explosive power of the Sprint ability.’

Because of this, inflammation would inevitably accumulate in the ankles.
Strong mana constantly struck the ankles, creating a steady stream of microfractures.

Crack—.

‘As I thought.’

The cost of her subsequent training had seeped into that area.
An ankle problem.

‘In exchange for the golden light in other areas, there’s inflammation in the ankles. Though extremely subtle. So it might not be an issue right now.’

But that wouldn’t do.
It would accumulate and eventually explode.
When that happened, she’d lose the ability to use her power again.
She would have to use her ability while carrying an ankle injury.
Shhhaa—.
Yujun deepened his Deep Scan of her ankles.

-Deep Scan!
-Suspected ankle fatigue fracture from mana impact, severe microfractures detected.

“Your ankles. They are your core, Meryl. Yet right now, those ankles are being sacrificed to strengthen other parts.”
“My ankles?”
“Yes. I’ll take the liberty.”

Tap—.
Yujun, wearing training gloves—Sung-hwee—gently worked her ankles.
His mana flowed smoothly into her ankles.

‘Oh.’

There was no resistance there should have been.

‘None of that natural repulsion when accepting another’s mana.’

This was Sung-hwee’s effect.

“What?”

Even Meryl was astonished.
Yujun’s mana had entered her body so naturally.

“How…?”

In their previous training, she’d needed the Geumgang Iron Staff.
Even then, she’d needed violent strikes to inject mana powerfully.

“Just how much higher have you gone from that already high level?”

It was beyond belief.
Instead of answering, Yujun quickly began working on her ankles.

‘This is remarkable.’

Whoosh—. Smooth—.
Yujun and Sung-hwee began reconstructing the Mana Road for ankle reinforcement.
Previously, he’d needed to strike multiple times with the Geumgang Iron Staff while injecting mana.

The Mana Road was reconstructed in an instant.

Bang—!

-Calculating training score!
-Training Score: 10/10
-Received 15,000 Points!

Despite it being the second session, the points were substantial.
It seemed easy, but this wasn’t easy training.

And above all, the effect of Sung-hwee, which she’d used for the first time, was remarkable.

“Yes. It’s complete.”

Become faster? Here?
If she got any faster, Meryl might lose control of her own speed.

“Yes.”

Meryl stamped her feet on the ground a couple of times, then suddenly unleashed explosive power.
Boom—!
Meryl shot forward and lapped the training ground three times in an instant.

Her Sprint had always had a precarious feeling.
Like tightrope walking atop a building—one misstep and she’d fall.
That’s why she’d constantly had to limit and control this ability.

In a sense, she could never run freely.

She could pour everything into running forward without worry.

“I’m joining the squad. Please call on me anytime. I’ll base myself in South Korea from today on.”

Meryl’s voice was fervent.

That he’d be first among world-class Trainers.
But she was wrong.
She could say it with certainty now.

“Please, I’m asking!”

He had already become a world-class Trainer.

* * *

After finishing Meryl’s training, Yujun headed to the Gwanghwamun office.

The Kim Family and the Choi Family.

‘It’s significant.’

This was certainly something to be proud of.

‘A great achievement, but not a great deed.’

Yujun’s gaze was fixed not on his home country, but on the world.

Of course, training the Kim Family’s blacksmiths had been quite enjoyable.

‘It had considerable difficulty.’

Because of this, Yujun had reached Awakened Training System Level 6.

‘And only now have I been able to properly secure an Artifact.’

The real goal was that Tower of Ashes.

Shhhaa—.

‘I’m not sure if Level 6 will be enough.’

The Tower of Infinity couldn’t be conquered through sheer force alone.

‘And from what I know, all towers worldwide influence each other.’

If South Korea couldn’t keep pace with other nations’ progress, a very simple outcome would result.

All the tower’s monsters would break loose, and South Korea itself would collapse.

‘It probably won’t come to that.’

“Still, I need to observe more.”

Just because he’d recruited Meryl didn’t mean he’d immediately go all-in on the Tower of Ashes.

‘And accomplish some achievements along the way.’

When Yujun arrived at the Gwanghwamun office, he smiled wryly at the presence he felt nearby.

‘Looks like they’ve been waiting.’

The moment Yujun entered the office, the Scouts and guild staff who had been waiting endlessly rushed up in surprise.

…!

“F-Finally…!”
“You’ve finally come!”
“Who are all these people?”

Yujun greeted them lightly while observing their faces.

‘Some familiar faces here.’

Among the Scouts were quite a few who had met Yujun back during his Golden Youths days.

Shhhaa—!

Yujun’s eyes pierced through them all.

‘They’re all skilled people.’

All the Scouts gathered were radiating golden light from their eyes.

“Trainer Kang Yu-jun! Hello! I apologize for coming here without permission!”

They smiled broadly upon seeing Yujun, as if they’d been commuting here for quite some time.

“I’m a Scout from the Storm Guild…”

“I came from the Master Guild!”

The Storm Guild.

The Master Guild.

All were prestigious guilds ranked in the top ten.

Currently ranked third, it was famous as Do Kang-myeong’s guild.

‘These are formidable Scouts.’

But that wasn’t all.

“I’m the Guild Master of the Tolerance Guild…”

Some guilds had sent their Guild Masters directly.

“How many people are here exactly?”

Even Yujun was somewhat surprised that Guild Masters had come in person.

‘I didn’t expect Guild Masters would come directly.’

In his office now were not only Scouts from major guilds but also the leaders of guilds desperate for Trainers.

“Please, come inside everyone.”

Yujun let them all in.

“There are still others outside, aren’t there? Please have them come in as well.”

“…!”

They looked delighted, seemingly not having expected to be invited in.

‘I still have no intention of joining a guild.’

But he was open to individual commissions.

His capacity was limited.
That’s why he wanted to choose for himself.

‘To explain that, I need to gather as many people as possible.’

All the Scouts and guild personnel who had been waiting near his office gathered.

That’s why they were taken aback by how much he had changed.

“You’ve changed quite a lot.”

“Congratulations!”

Yujun greeted them warmly in return.

‘These are all familiar faces.’

They were all people he’d met during his Golden Youths days.

“I’d like to hear the proposals you’ve all come to make.”

Yujun spoke in a quiet voice.

The Scouts looked slightly taken aback.

If recruitment failed, they’d need to at least cooperate with the squad he’d formed.
But seeing that certain bearing, they could instinctively understand.
This might be difficult.
This wasn’t a meeting where they’d persuade Kang Yu-jun.
This was a meeting where Kang Yu-jun would choose one of them.

“It’s been a long time. Yujun… or rather, Trainer Kang Yu-jun.”

Then someone’s voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look at him.

“…Director Kim Tae-jeong?”

Kim Tae-jeong.
