Transcendent Genius Trainer, Episode 205

Bang-! Bang-! Crash-!
Yujun first elevated their Mana Purity.

-Mana Purity has increased!
-Mana Purity 32% → 42%

Then he set about the work of widening their constricted Mana Roads.

Crackle-.

-Thought Acceleration!

He activated Lightning Mana to accelerate his thinking.
Crackle-. Crackle-crackle-crackle-!
Sales Team 2. The abilities of half the Awakened Ones, their problems, chronic ailments…… all their information began flowing in rapidly.

‘There’s definitely information I didn’t know before.’

At that time, Yujun hadn’t awakened yet, so he hadn’t known such detailed information.

‘Now I see the reason.’

Yujun quickly turned off Thought Acceleration.

‘Dependence on equipment and reliance on the team—they all stem from physical limitations.’

They had reached their limits.
Because individual growth had hit a ceiling, they sought better equipment and grew more dependent on the team aspect.
Crackle-.

‘Awakened Ones don’t grow infinitely, after all.’

Yet Yujun frowned.
It wasn’t just one problem.
If it were simply hitting a limit, he could break through it easily enough.

‘I could easily break through it with Incubation Skills. But that’s not the situation here.’

The limits they’d reached were ones that could be overcome if they accepted the risk.

‘And they know it too.’

Yet despite that, they were content with their current state and not pushing forward.

-Training Hint!
-Focus on mental state!

Yujun used Training Hint.

-Mental State: D

The Awakened Ones of Sales Team 2 all had poor mental states.

‘There’s fear.’

Even when they could push deeper, they didn’t.

‘This isn’t restraint for the sake of teamwork.’

Survival.
Conducting Tower raids for so long, they’d never focused on actually growing stronger.

‘Their goal is…… survival and the status quo.’

This was a workplace.
They hoped to come to work and leave safely at the end of the day.
In a way, he understood.

‘Of course. It can’t be helped. Nothing is more precious than one’s life.’

But for those in the unique profession of Awakened One, this became a clear limitation—and paradoxically, such fear was what reduced their odds of survival.

‘It’s ironic.’

Growing stronger raises survival odds.
Yet to grow stronger, they had to make decisions that might lower survival odds.

‘They have to accept the risk.’

Yujun stopped the staff that had been moving ceaselessly.

“Huff. Huff.”

Sales Team 2, floundering in pain, grimaced and staggered.
But their bodies felt noticeably lighter.

“It hurts…… but why do I feel so refreshed……?”

They felt something strange.
It was certainly quite painful—more painful than any training they’d received before.
But at the same time, they felt refreshed.
A refreshment unlike anything they’d felt before.

Yujun smiled at the Awakened Ones.

“I’ve cleared out the inflammation and fractures in your bodies and opened what was blocked. And in the process, I’ve identified your problems.”

At Yujun’s words, Sales Team 2’s Awakened Ones focused their attention.

“Fear. You’re feeling fear.”
“Fear……?”
“Yes. You’re afraid to take one more step forward.”

Bang-.
The Geumgang-sacheol Staff struck the leg of the nearest Awakened One.
The Mana Road in the lower body activated.
Whoooosh-!
Mana flowing fiercely.
Instantly his ability activated.

“Gravity Enhancement. An ability that increases gravity for everyone within range, correct?”

Rumble-!
Due to his ability, every Awakened One in the Training Ground felt heavier.

“Yes. That’s right.”

He answered, flustered.
He hadn’t mentioned it, and he hadn’t tried to use it.
Yet when Yujun swung his staff, Gravity Enhancement activated.

“Kim In-jun. Why don’t you want to grow stronger?”
“……What do you mean by that?”
“It’s not just you, Kim In-jun.”

Yujun looked at each Awakened One of Sales Team 2 and spoke.

“You have no intention of growing stronger.”
“……That’s a misunderstanding.”
“We in Sales Team 2 have faithfully completed all training. Surely you saw that just now. As a team, we are complete.”

The Team Leader of Sales Team 2 spoke with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

“Why do you think that way?”

At the question from the Awakened One of Sales Team 2, Yujun answered firmly.

“Because you’re not willing to accept Risk and take that next step.”
“…….”
“…….”

Instantly, at those words, Sales Team 2 went quiet.
How did he know?
Severe bewilderment showed in their eyes.

“Status maintenance. You train, but not deeply.”

Kim Han-ju’s eyes widened.
Then he looked at Yujun with genuine admiration.
Visible problems could easily be identified by any trainer with a good eye.
But this wasn’t a visible problem.
A mental problem.
One created by multiple complex factors.
It wasn’t easy to identify, and you couldn’t just guess it.

“A quite complex issue…… and yet to summarize it in one sentence shows real ability.”

Kim Han-ju clicked his tongue and muttered.

“…….”
“You have no intention of accepting Risk right now.”

Yujun gestured to Kim In-jun.

“Gravity Enhancement can grow far stronger than it is now. Right now, you can only enhance gravity throughout a range, so you have to use it without distinguishing allies from enemies, correct?”

It enhanced gravity for all targets within range.
So it was a power with clear limitations.
But this ability could grow much stronger.

“You could select specific targets and apply Gravity Enhancement.”
“……!”
“Of course, doing so would create Risk. More training would be needed. Deeper understanding would be required.”
“…….”
“You’re currently afraid of growth.”

It was truly ironic.

“Complacency is eating away at you.”

But they had their own counter-arguments.

“How can we always stake our lives?”

Someone asked harshly, as if challenging him.

“You wouldn’t understand, Trainer Kang. You don’t go into the Tower often. And even if you did, you wouldn’t fight with your life on the line. Because you’re a trainer.”

That Awakened One stopped there, then closed his mouth with a look of regret.
This was a slip of the tongue.
Wasn’t Yujun training them right now?
But Yujun nodded as if unconcerned.

“That’s fine. Continue.”
“……Some of us have families. Some have ailing parents. The stronger we become, the more dangerous places we go.”

At those words, everyone nodded.

“Of course we want to grow stronger. But mentally, we hit the brakes. We know all this. But…… it doesn’t work out.”

That was felt.
The desire to grow stronger was there, but growing stronger meant inevitably going to more dangerous places.

‘Ambition threatens one’s life.’

And that had brought them to this state.
Yujun smiled.

“Then let’s experience it together. That Risk. I’ll experience it with you.”

Yujun snapped his fingers.

“Force Sync.”

Force Sync: Avatar.
Yujun’s Platinum Skill activated.
This Platinum Skill doesn’t have only advantages.
It has very significant drawbacks.
Because the Synchronization Rate is calibrated to transmit Yujun’s movements perfectly, if his connected target suffers injury, he receives the full impact.

“Fen, Tan.”

Yujun moved Fen and Tan.

“Rush at them as if to kill.”

Then he declared to the Awakened Ones:

“Now on, if you’re injured, I’m injured too.”

Screech-!

“Focus.”

In an instant, Fen pushed Kim In-jun hard.
He tried to soften the impact, but Fen’s attack was stronger.

And Yujun received that impact in full.
Yujun’s body swayed momentarily.

“……!”
“……!”

This was quite dangerous.
Fundamentally, trainers don’t have particularly strong bodies compared to Awakened Ones.
Of course, Yujun was an awakened trainer, so his body was relatively strong.

“Why are you going this far……?”

Kim In-jun asked urgently.
The other Awakened Ones of Sales Team 2 were thinking the same thing.
They could do training in a different way.
There was no need to take on such great Risk.

“I’m telling you to accept Risk. To take one more step forward for growth, even with Risk.”

Yujun said.

“But if I, the very one giving that instruction, can’t accept a single Risk like this, what meaning would it have?”

Crunch-!
In the meantime, Fen bit Kim In-jun’s arm hard.
Blood flowed from the wound, soaking his clothes.

Drip-. Drip-.
At the same moment, blood flowed from Yujun’s arm too.

“I could easily force training on you. Such training would be very easy to do.”

The current Yujun could ignore their will and simply make them stronger by force.

‘But that’s not interesting training.’

It’s merely training that reverts quickly.
It’s merely emergency first aid—like breathing a little air into someone submerged underwater.

“But I don’t do that kind of training.”

An unwavering conviction.
Kim Han-ju silently applauded him.

Clap-. Clap-. Clap-.
Wait, he thought it was silent, but he was actually clapping.
Kim Han-ju lowered his hands awkwardly.

“Gravity Enhancement.”

Whoooosh-.
Kim In-jun activated Gravity Enhancement once more.
Rumble-!
Fen’s movements stiffened slightly.
But this Gravity Enhancement spreads across a fixed area, so its power had clear limits.
Against a powerful Demon Beast like Fen, it was meaningless. It could only stop him for a moment.

Kim In-jun frowned.
One step.
He understood well what that one step Yujun spoke of meant.

“Does one step change everything?”

Yujun answered.

“Yes.”
“Then…….”

If everything truly could change.
Kim In-jun stretched both arms forward.

“I…… request training.”

Whoooosh-.
Yujun saw a shining blue light emanating from him.
From the head and heart—the most vital places.

Yujun smiled and wiped the wound on his arm with his sleeve.
Then he gripped the Geumgang-sacheol Staff and swung it straight.

‘To strengthen this Gravity Enhancement, his Mana needs to back it up. He needs to be able to burst out explosive Mana in an instant.’

Near the heart.
And the Mana Road.
He widened both areas forcefully.
Crackle-!
Using Lightning Mana, he expanded it greatly and spoke.

“I’ve artificially accelerated your Mana circulation.”

Thump-! Thump-! Thump-!
His heart raced madly fast.

“Draw out your ability and focus on Fen.”

Screech-! Screech-!
Fen charged madly.
Before, he’d bitten his arm lightly, but now he came as if to tear him to shreds.

‘The body is ready.’

Yujun immediately used a skill.

-Using Ability Enhancement Skill!
-Awakened One Kim In-jun’s ability [Gravity Enhancement] is enhanced!

“Use Gravity Enhancement on Fen! Don’t spread it wide—think of it like pinpricks!”

-Word Correction activates!
-Immediate correction!

His outstretched arms locked precisely on Fen.

-Gravity Enhancement!

Rumble-!
Gravity Enhancement applied directly to Fen.
Thud-!
Due to the powerful gravity, Fen, who’d been charging, froze in place.
He abandoned moving forward and chose to endure the gravity instead.

“This is the potential Kim In-jun could have reached.”

Witnessing the unexpected sight, everyone held their breath.

“You all will be capable of this too now. You said fear of dying prevents growth, didn’t you?”

Yujun made eye contact with the Awakened Ones as he spoke.

“From now on, even dying will require my permission.”
