I Became a Transcendent-Level Genius Trainer – Chapter 223

Crack—
Jang Myeong-hun clenched his fist and drove it forward.
Boom-m-m-m!

Until now, Jang Myeong-hun had only ever done one of two things: explode or not explode.
But now, for the first time, he could control the power.
Control was possible.
The moment that thought took root, his skill began to improve steadily.
Watching him, Yujun’s expression grew satisfied.

‘The problem was all in his mind.’

Trauma from his own ability.
On top of that, the ability itself had always been extraordinarily difficult to control.

‘I blocked it completely with a Hidden Trait.’

Boom—! Boom—!
Suddenly, smoke began to rise from Jang Myeong-hun’s entire body.

“Huh?”
“Huh!?”

Everyone looked at Jang Myeong-hun in surprise.

Whoosh—
Mana surging forth with terrible intensity.

“His mana is becoming even stronger?”
“Don’t tell me… like last time…?”

As Jang Myeong-hun’s carefully controlled state began to waver, everyone’s bodies tensed.
The trainer team was already preparing to evacuate rapidly.
But Yujun was alarmed for an entirely different reason.

‘He’s insane.’

Jang Myeong-hun had just been evaluated as S-rank.
The Awakener Training System had assessed his power at S-rank.
But the moment that S-rank evaluation came through, his potential began exploding in real time.

‘Potential at the absolute zenith.’

That extraordinary potential was beginning to detonate.
Whoosh—!

‘From lower S-rank.’

-Awakener Jang Myeong-hun’s evaluation is rising!
-Awakener Jang Myeong-hun Rank Assessment [S+ Rank]

From S-rank to S+ Rank.
He shot up to mid-S Rank in an instant.
Boom—!
His body erupted once more.
But this time, the blast radius was precisely confined to the spot where Jang Myeong-hun stood.

“Wow……”
“I thought he was going berserk again……”
“But he’s got complete control now?”

The trainer team murmured in awe.
Even seeing it with their own eyes, it was truly miraculous.

“How did you do that?”
“It seemed like you soothed his mind somehow.”
“Mental Training?”
“Isn’t that actually dangerous?”
“Looking at it now, maybe it isn’t……”

They all understood well that awakened abilities were heavily influenced by the mind.
As trainers themselves, they knew their training ability varied based on mental state—how much more for awakeners.
But this mental training couldn’t be solved with just a few words.
It required training over a considerable period to see even slight results, and those results could fade quickly.
Yet seeing this now, Yujun felt a certainty: that entire assumption was wrong.

“From now on, you’ll be able to use your reason to control your rage. Your power will grow stronger, and you’ll find your reason just the same.”

Jang Myeong-hun—no one had ever touched him like this.
The trainers watching began frantically scribbling on their Smart Pads.
This was training only Yujun could do, but the approach itself was deeply meaningful.

“The results are… definite.”
“Trainer Kang seems to handle mental care alongside ability training……”
“There’s no excuse for not doing it then.”

No matter how difficult or exhausting, trainers cannot avoid or change their training methods.
Promise Guild trainers had to employ every possible method to make awakeners stronger.
The same went for youths.

“Senior.”

Jang Myeong-hun looked at Yujun and bowed deeply.

“Thank you so much. You’ve given me a new life.”

It was truly a new life.
Had he not received training from Yujun today, he would have been cut from Promise, and he likely would have given up being an awakener entirely.

“You haven’t accomplished anything yet.”

As Yujun spoke calmly, Jang Myeong-hun’s spirit sharpened as well.
He had only become able to use his ability. He hadn’t actually accomplished anything real.
He was still a youth.

“I’ll undergo rank assessment again!”
“You’ll probably get S-rank.”

Yujun smiled wryly.

“Keep performing well. I’ll come find you when I need you.”
“Please do! I’ll be with Sales Team 1!”

Jang Myeong-hun bowed deeply again in gratitude.

“Thank you so much.”

Yujun watched him with a wry smile.

‘Potential at the absolute zenith. Still overflowing with potential waiting to burst.’

When ascending the Tower of Infinity, this type of awakener was essential.

‘The Tower of Infinity is a living tower.’

Because of that, when you assembled a team and brought awakeners up, the difficulty changed to match those awakeners quite often.
That’s why what mattered was an awakener who could grow.

‘I need awakeners who can grow no matter what situation they’re in.’

Jang Myeong-hun was perfect for that.

‘I’ll put him in my team.’

Yujun couldn’t hide his smile.

Ding—!
-Training is complete!

With Jang Myeong-hun, all the youths remaining in the guild had completed their training.

-Training Score is being settled!
-Training Score 10 / 10
-Conditions have been satisfied!
-Training Score is being upgraded!

Whoosh—!

-Training Score cap has been opened!

‘It’s open.’

As the Training Score cap opens, the points available also increase.

‘I’ll need a lot of points when I seriously start climbing the tower.’

If the cap opened, then something else should open as well.

-Training Shop has been opened!

Now he could purchase training-related skills with points.

“Training Shop.”

-Opening Training Shop!
-Achievement unlocked!
-Achievement [Training Shop Open] has been unlocked!
-Training Shop Coupon received!

[[[[[Awakener Training Shop]]]]]

-Aura of Recovery [500,000P]
Effect: Within a 50m radius, the physical and mana natural recovery of all targets undergoing training increases by 300%. However, this recovery buff disappears immediately the moment training stops and resting begins.

-Reverse Synchronization [500,000P]
Effect: Select a target and synchronize with their body. You can feel the mana circuit and mana circulation as if they were your own body.

-Fatigue Combustion [500,000P]
Effect: Burn fatigue to use it as fuel. Strength is momentarily enhanced. After activation ends, mana cannot be used for half a day.
……
……
……

Aura of Recovery, Reverse Synchronization, Fatigue Combustion.
Beyond those, there were several other skills in the Training Shop.
Looking at the shop, Yujun smiled wryly.

‘Training Shop skill lists are often random.’

When climbing the tower, you often had to refresh it to find the skills you wanted.
But this time, luck was on his side.

‘There are quite a few essential skills.’

Especially Aura of Recovery and Reverse Synchronization were among the most convenient skills for training.
Reverse Synchronization was the opposite version of Synchronization, which Yujun was already learning—it was a skill that let him understand more precisely how they moved their mana.
Thanks to the coupon, Yujun could learn one of the skills at a discounted price.

‘The first thing to learn would naturally be Aura of Recovery.’

-Using coupon!
-Purchased Aura of Recovery at 50% discount!
-Aura of Recovery learned!

Whoosh—!

Half of 500,000 points.
At 250,000 points, Yujun had learned Aura of Recovery.

Shimmer… shimmer…
A blue light spread gently from beneath Yujun’s feet.

“That concludes the first phase of training.”

Yujun had planned to complete this youth training over two days.

‘Now that I’ve grasped the rough picture.’

It was time to put them to proper use.

* * *

“……Is this really our youth?”

Youth Training Ground.
Having received the report, Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong examined the youths and let out a hollow laugh.
The youth training had been completed over two days, and as Choi Ho-jeong had predicted, the training had succeeded.

“……Huh.”

He had anticipated the training would succeed.
So over those two days, he’d even drafted teams.
But the results exceeded his expectations by far.

“……They’ve become far too strong.”

The youths had grown to an unbelievable degree.
Whoosh—
Intense auras rising from their bodies.

“I figured maybe half… no, a third of this level.”

Youth growth doesn’t happen easily.
They grow steadily through consistent training and are then called up to the first team as youths gradually improve.
But now every youth before his eyes was strong enough to be called up to the first team immediately.

“If this keeps up… I’ll have to promote them all to the first team.”

He had assembled teams in anticipation of Yujun’s achievements.
But that assumption had been shattered.

“I’ll need to reorganize the teams……”

Standing at the front of about fifty youths arranged in a line was Jang Myeong-hun.

Whoosh—
He exhaled powerful mana and bowed to Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong.

“Thank you for waiting. Guild Master!”
“Thank you!”

Choi Ho-jeong looked at the youths.

“You don’t need to thank me. I brought you here because your talent stood out.”

He spoke coldly, but his eyes told a different story.

“From today, you all move to the first team. I’m going to place all of you in a newly formed team.”

Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong declared it clearly.
The youths’ expressions shifted with emotion.
At last, the first team they had dreamed of.

“You’ll be assigned to a special sales team separate from the existing sales teams. And that name was given directly by Trainer Kang.”

If these youths were to be promoted to the first team, Yujun wanted to give them a new name.

“Awl.”

Team Awl.
Those trained according to Yujun’s philosophy were as sharp as an awl itself.

“Congratulations.”
“Yes—!”
“The first team. At last… at last the first team.”
“Trainer Kang, thank you!”

These youths wanted to share this joy with Yujun.

“Did Trainer Kang perhaps…?”
“There’s just one department that hasn’t received training yet. He’s there now.”

* * *

Gulp—
Team Leader Im Sun-rok swallowed hard.

“Team Leader……”
“I’m telling you once more, are we seeing illusions because we’re cursed by the tower?”
“Are you perhaps an illusion, Team Leader?”

The story he’d heard in the ten days since his return to the guild was truly shocking.
And on top of returning, he heard that Kang Yujun had immediately begun training the youths.

“Did you see the youths’ condition?”
“That Jang Myeong-hun… he’s been called up to the first team now. That Jang Myeong-hun who’d been here almost as long as Trainer Kang.”
“A new sales team was created.”

Im Sun-rok was desperately curious.
What kind of training could flip all of Promise upside down in an instant?
He was intensely curious about training that could manipulate one of the five largest guilds in South Korea, not just any guild.

“Are you curious?”

Yujun, who had approached without warning, smiled at them.

“Don’t worry. I’ve come to train you.”

Veins stood out on Yujun’s arm as he gripped the Geumgang Iron Staff.
