Transcendent Genius Trainer 214

“Trainer Kang is doing Youth Training?”
“Trainer Team! Get to the Youth Training Ground, now!”

The Trainer Team was learning an enormous amount from Yujun’s training.
Youth Training in particular was exceptionally difficult and had always given them headaches.
There was no way they could miss this.

“We absolutely have to learn from Trainer Kang.”
“What, what is this?”

The Support Team wondered if they were dreaming at what they were seeing.

“Team Leader…….”
“We really did come to Promise Guild, right?”
“……!”

Team Leader Im Sun-rok rushed desperately toward Hwang Jin-seong and Oh Do-yun.
But Hwang Jin-seong and Oh Do-yun seemed to have urgent business and quickly entered the training ground, slamming the door shut behind them.
Whirrrrr—

“What!”

He tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge.
The door was designed to lock automatically during important training sessions.

Team Leader Im Sun-rok, flustered, made his way to the desk.
The desk staff smiled brightly upon seeing Team Leader Im Sun-rok and the Support Team.

“Support Team members! Thank you for your hard work!”
“We, we just got back, but what exactly is going on here?”
“Yes?”

The desk staff’s expression turned puzzled.

“We can’t figure out what’s happening. What exactly happened while we were out on external assignments?”

At those words, the desk staff’s face lit up with an “Oh!” and they smiled widely.

“Of course. You went out on assignments just before. So much has happened in the meantime!”
“That’s what I’m saying. Why have Team Leader Hwang and Team Leader Oh…….”

It was taboo, but given the circumstances, they had no choice but to voice it.

“Why have they…… gotten along better?”
“A lot happened over ten days. Let me explain right away.”
“But what kind of thing could make Team Leader Hwang and Team Leader Oh actually smile and converse together…….”

Ten days ago.
The atmosphere at Promise Guild was at its absolute worst.
To be honest, Team Leader Im Sun-rok had never felt a stronger desire to quit during his time at Promise Guild.

A sinking ship.
The Guild Master was desperately trying to resolve the situation, but the conflict between Hwang Jin-seong and Oh Do-yun was simply too great.
On top of that, Trainer Team Leader Kim Han-ju was in poor condition, and Sales Team 2 and Team 3 also had their own problems.
In short, it was a total disaster.

“Right after you left for your assignment, Trainer Kang Yu-jun returned to Promise.”
“……?”
“Kang Yu-jun……?”
“You mean that Kang Yu-jun from our Youths?”

As they stared blankly, the staff member nodded with a bright smile.

“Yes, that’s right. After being released from our guild, he came back as an SS-rank Trainer.”
“He got fully recruited!?”
“No. He accepted a commission. A training commission.”

The day the Support Team departed for the Tower of Ashes.
Kang Yu-jun had arrived at Promise Guild to take on the commission.

“And from that day on…….”

The desk staff explained to Team Leader Im Sun-rok what had unfolded over the ten days.
Trainer Team training.
Sales Team 2 training.
Sales Team 1 training followed by an additional session with the entire Sales Team.

“……This is real? You’re telling me to believe this?”
“This all happened in four days.”
“That’s absurd!”

Im Sun-rok finally couldn’t hold back.

“You’re joking!”

Team Leader Im Sun-rok immediately headed for the Guild Master’s Office.
Knock, knock—

“Guild Master. It’s Im Sun-rok.”
“Oh! Team Leader Im! Come in!”

As Team Leader Im Sun-rok entered, he saw Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong grinning widely.

“I’m really sorry about that. I had no choice but to send just you all to the Tower of Ashes. So, how was the Tower of Ashes?”
“We nearly died. It’s extremely dangerous. Right now all the top guilds in South Korea are mobilizing their first teams, and…… but that’s not the important part. What exactly happened here?”
“A lot has happened.”

Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong explained the current situation.

“Hmm…….”

The content was the same as what the desk staff had explained.

“So you’re saying that’s really true……?”

An SS-rank Trainer. A National Treasure-class Trainer.
Kang Yu-jun, who has succeeded at every impossible training.
But even accounting for that, what Kang Yu-jun had accomplished at Promise Guild was nonsensical.

“This was resolved in just four days……?”
“I was shocked too. But I think I’ve only heard about four days’ worth of it.”
“……There’s more?”
“Over the week, he conquered three previously uncleared towers.”
“What? Leading the Sales Team……?”
“That’s right.”

Not only did he resolve Promise’s internal problems in four days, but he also conquered three uncleared towers in a week.

“And our guild has climbed back to third place.”

Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong said it plainly.
The ship had clearly been sinking.
That ship suddenly broke the surface and was now surging forward wildly.

The change was happening too fast.
It was moving so quickly that his head was starting to hurt.
Suddenly, Team Leader Im Sun-rok was struck by a truly terrifying thought.

“I haven’t actually escaped the tower yet, have I?”

Team Leader Im Sun-rok couldn’t believe this moment.
That’s why he doubted it.
He was still in the tower.
The tower’s powerful curse was now implanting happy memories in his mind.
There was no other way this could make sense.

“I too have wished for Promise to prosper.”

There was once a time when Promise was the guild everyone wanted to join among all the prestigious guilds.
But lately, there had been many who said they would rather join any other guild than Promise.
Whether it was Azure Dragon, the number-one ranked guild, or Sunlight hot on its heels, or Master Guild, which was called one of the Top 3 Guilds just below them, or even Dream Guild below that.
So he had wished for that former glory to return.

“But for it to rise like this in ten days…… And I didn’t even receive any training…… This really does seem like I’m still stuck in that tower.”

Smack—!
Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong struck Team Leader Im Sun-rok’s cheek hard.

“Ugh.”

He held his cheek and let out a groan.

“You’re out of the tower. Team Leader Im.”

Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Thank you for believing. Team Leader Im. From now on, we’ll reclaim all of our former glory. And don’t worry—Trainer Kang said he’d provide training for the Support Team as well.”

Suddenly, Team Leader Im Sun-rok’s expression brightened.

“But what kind of training could have caused such a transformation……?”

Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong let out a soft laugh.

“You’ll know once you receive it.”

***

Jang Myeong-hun, a Youth of Promise Guild.
As always, he was preparing for Youth Training with no emotion.
Beside him were several Youths from Promise.

“Huuuuuh.”
“I don’t even know what we’re doing anymore.”
“Kang Yu-jun came back as a Trainer.”
“And as an SS-rank Trainer at that.”
“But we…….”

These were Youths who had been receiving training at Promise Guild continuously from before Yujun’s release until now.
Despite long periods of training within Promise Guild, they hadn’t awakened the talents they possessed.

“Are we really hopeless?”

However, as Trainer Team Leader Kim Han-ju stepped back, these youths began to lose their way, and since then they hadn’t been able to properly exercise their talents.

“Damn it.”

It wasn’t such a simple problem.
These youths certainly had talent.
But they didn’t know how to unleash it.

“All of you shut up.”

Jang Myeong-hun cut through the youths’ self-pity sharply.

“You’re all better off than me. Instead of complaining, polish your talents more. And all of you—have you watched how your senior has conducted himself?”

Jang Myeong-hun was exasperated.

“You all achieved that Awakening—the very thing Senior Kang couldn’t do and was released for. But he never lost heart. He came earliest and left latest every single day.”

At that time, Kang Yu-jun had trained with an intensity that was hard for even fellow Youths to match.
Some had mocked him, but only his failure to Awaken—not the volume of his training nor his resolve.

“……But.”
“But nothing…….”

At that moment, the Youth Training Ground door opened.

“……!”
“……!”

The one who entered was Yujun.
As Yujun breathed in the scent of the Youth Training Ground for the first time in a long while, all the memories from his past began to flash before him.

The day he first arrived.
The day he was called the Golden Youth, dazzling everyone with overwhelming talent.
The day he was recognized in the Youth Exchange with many guilds.

The nights he spent training without Awakening.
Coming first and leaving last every single day.
Days when he wanted to vomit everything up and cry, yet tears wouldn’t even come.
Sweet memories and harsh ones flickered past all at once.

“It’s been a while.”

Yujun smiled slightly as he looked at the Youths.
Every single face was familiar. Every last one was in his mind.

‘Promise Guild has 221 Youths.’

Originally there had been 222 Youths in Promise’s treasury—including Yujun.

‘Not all of them are here.’

He’d heard some had gone abroad to study, others had left for different guilds.
Among those who remained, some were off-duty that day.

“Senior!”
“Senior!”

‘About fifty.’

Just the right number.

‘Normally I teach ten Youths at a time.’

For Yujun, fifty wasn’t an unreasonable number.

‘Though Youths are different.’

It would be harder than the large-scale training he’d conducted before.
Promise’s Youths had considerable talent, after all.

“Trainer Kang! You’ve arrived!”

The Trainer Team, who had arrived almost simultaneously with Yujun, bowed respectfully to him.

“Is it possible…….”
“That you’ll be teaching us, Senior?”

In truth, no one had expected Yujun to teach the Youths.
Everyone assumed he would naturally train the Sales Team since they were Promise’s main focus, but everyone knew that teaching Youths was just breaking even.
But with Yujun here, they couldn’t help but have hope.

“That’s right.”

Yujun understood the Youths’ hearts better than anyone.

‘Their spirits are broken.’

Broken spirits.
Helplessness.
Learned Helplessness.

‘I could hear it from outside.’

Youths with such broken hearts would only suffer from training.

‘I know it well.’

So first, he had to change their mindset.

“But it can’t just be ordinary training.”

Yujun continued, looking around at the Youths.

“I’m going to make a promise with each of you.”
“What kind of promise…….”
“We’re ready to do anything!”
“That so?”

Yujun smiled slightly.

“You’re ready to do anything, you say?”
