Transcendent Genius Trainer, Chapter 202

—Are you alright?

Golden Youth.
Korea’s number-one prospect.
The greatest among youths with S-rank potential, approaching SS-rank.

Yujun had earned many nicknames.
The extraordinary potential he’d shown as a child justified every single one.
Yet even as he grew older, he never Awakened.
The countless youths who had been his rivals Awakened before him, unlocked their Mana, and surged ahead.
Despair began to fill his heart, little by little.
But he clenched his fists and pushed himself forward anyway.
If he could just Awaken.
If he could just Awaken, he’d catch up to those youths who’d left him behind.
No—he’d overtake them and reclaim the throne.

With that thought, he threw himself into training like a madman.
Every day brought nosebleeds; every day he trained until consciousness slipped away.
And one day, Team Leader Kim Han-ju asked him a question.
Whether he was alright.

—Yes, I’m fine!

He was fine. Or rather, he had to be.
That was the only way to endure.

Yet Kim Han-ju seemed to pity him.
Several trainers had already given up on Yujun’s training.

—Don’t worry. I’m not giving up. The truth is, I’m not doing that well myself right now either. So I have no intention of abandoning you. You turn my life around, I turn yours around—how could that not be wonderful?

Kim Han-ju comforted Yujun with those words.
But it was a lie.
Kim Han-ju was already achieving remarkable results within the Promise Guild.
Because of that, he couldn’t keep training Yujun for long.
The upper brass reassigned him to train other Awakeners.
It only made sense that a capable trainer would be assigned to capable Awakeners.

—Did you get scared?

Early that dawn.
Kim Han-ju appeared—someone Yujun thought he wouldn’t see again.
Unlike other youths, Yujun stayed inside the Guild.
They had homes to return to; he did not.

—You remember what we promised? Break a promise at the Promise Guild and you get kicked out.

A flippant joke.
But something that had been blocked inside Yujun burst open at those words.

—You don’t need to waste your time on me. It would be better if you trained people more capable than I am.

But Yujun was still young then, and couldn’t quite hide his wounded feelings.
Kim Han-ju laughed softly and tousled his hair.

—Look at you, trying to be so mature. Don’t worry. I’ll keep training you.

Thanks to that, Yujun was able to receive dedicated training from Kim Han-ju.

‘But it was me who cut it off.’

He himself had abandoned the trainer who promised not to give up on him.

But now he had no intention of abandoning anyone.
He would repay the debt of gratitude from those days.

The trainers who had received instruction before watched Yujun as he now trained Kim Han-ju.
They didn’t know exactly what history lay between Yujun and Kim Han-ju.
But they knew well what kind of man Kim Han-ju was.

“I’ve had treatment and taken training too.”

Kim Han-ju exhaled with a sigh.
Yet his condition hadn’t improved.

“It didn’t work well. This really isn’t something that can be treated easily. If I keep using my ability, it’s bound to follow me like a chronic disease.”

And so his future had narrowed to one path alone.
Retirement.

“So I have no choice.”
“It’s alright.”

At Yujun’s words, Kim Han-ju shook his head.

“No. You don’t need to say that.”

Perhaps.

“This training might become a stain on your record.”

A smile lingered at the corners of Kim Han-ju’s mouth.
To smile even in such circumstances.

‘He hasn’t changed.’

It was a place full of good people.

‘That’s why I kept thinking I’d return to the Promise Guild.’

“My stain is that I was expelled from the Promise Guild without accomplishing anything.”

The blemish was already marked.

“I received kindness but couldn’t repay it.”

Yujun had accepted the Promise Guild’s request to erase that stain.

“I’ve already made my own mark. So this training now—I’m doing it for myself.”

At Yujun’s firm resolve, Kim Han-ju laughed in admiration.

“……You’ve become quite eloquent.”
“Please don’t burden yourself. I’ve come here to act selfishly and deliberately.”

Whoooosh—
Yujun drew up his power.
This was indeed the kind of training that could mark his record, as Kim Han-ju had warned.

‘Eliminating a chronic disease is certainly difficult training.’

But Yujun had overcome far harder trials.

‘This won’t become my stain.’

Hero Baek Hyeon-jin.
Prince K of Japan.
The Geumgang Kim Family.
The Choi Family.
Meril Holland.

Every one of them had received the Untrainable Judgment.

‘None of them became my stain either.’

How could Kim Han-ju become his stain?
Of course, that didn’t mean he’d grow complacent.

‘This is my benefactor’s training.’

He needed to focus more intensely than ever before.
Yujun activated Thought Acceleration once more.

—Deep Scan!
—Scanning Awakener Kim Han-ju!
—Thought Acceleration!
—Information on Kim Han-ju is coming in!

—[Kim Han-ju] Overall Rank: A+
—Body: [A]
—Spirit: [S]
—Special Conditions: Overuse, Mana Burns, Deep Fatigue, Fatigue Fractures, Mana Backflow, Powerful Debuff
—Mana Purity: 25%
—Physical Efficiency: 55%

Crackle—!
Yujun pierced through the scanned information once more using Thought Acceleration.

—Backflow Cause: Misuse and overuse of Awakening ability and Debuff
—Fatigue Cause: Repeated use before recovery

‘Deeper still.’

These eyes pierce through everything.

Crackle-crackle-crackle—!
Thought Acceleration began rotating the information dozens of times over.
It accelerated understanding of what was efficient, what was the answer, what needed to be done.

Eye pain from Thought Acceleration surged forward, along with the sensation that his brain was burning. Yet Yujun didn’t stop. He created training—for Kim Han-ju, for him alone.

Then he swung the Geumgang-sacheol Staff toward Kim Han-ju’s wrist.

“Pain’s familiar to me. If I just bear through it…….”

“The Team Leader is screaming like that?”

But Yujun wasn’t flustered—he’d anticipated this.

“Kgh—agh, I un…derstand…….”

If he lost consciousness during training, the training became meaningless.

Whoooosh—!

Crackle-crackle—!

The destructive force that once plagued the Choi Family now served to easily destroy the Mana Road.

The trainers understood his condition well.
He’d driven himself to overuse.
He could have done less.
He could have suffered less injury.
But he hadn’t.
A trainer, he believed, shouldn’t be measured by holding back—he poured everything he had into it.
He called it the calling of a trainer.

“Team Leader……!”

Every trainer here had benefited from his help, in some measure or another.

Kim Han-ju couldn’t endure any further.

—Physical Stat has grown by 10!

The Mana Road at his wrist collapsed.
At the same moment, Yujun withdrew the Geumgang-sacheol Staff and smoothly rebuilt the Mana Road with his hands.
Crackle—.
Whoooosh—!
The Mana Road began rebuilding in an instant.

“……!”

“Try moving it. So then—the next step.”

“But if I don’t do that, I can’t use the Debuff at all. I’ve already optimized it to make it weaker.”

It was already laden with problems from its settings, and with Kim Han-ju’s Debuff stacked on top, it became completely Untrainable.
Yet even in that state, Kim Han-ju could train without difficulty.

Thud—. Crack—.

Remarkably, the dummy Awakener’s problems began to improve bit by bit.

Fine training stimulates even by mere observation.

Yujun swiftly swung the Geumgang-sacheol Staff at him as he continued his training.
Having tasted that extreme pain earlier, Kim Han-ju instinctively shut his eyes.
Yet—

Just a light sting.

Whoooosh—!

Especially the stronger he drew on its power, the worse it became.
So after training SS-rank Awakeners, his wrist would swell as though broken.
But now it was fine.
More than fine—it felt fresh.
Yujun smiled wickedly.

—Large-Scale Training Successful!
—Calculating Training Score!
—Training Score: 10 / 10
—Acquired 150,000 P!

Total score: 10.

150,000 Points.
He’d expected high Points for such a large-scale training.

Now, 150,000 Points—surpassing that by 50,000—had come in at once.

Mana began overflowing from Kim Han-ju’s entire body.

“Yujun…….”

Not just Kim Han-ju—every trainer in this place had their mouths agape as they stared at Yujun.

“What in the world…… has happened?”

Mere months had passed since his expulsion.
