I Became an Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 231

Bang! Bang!
Before the Tower of Ashes.
Vice Director So Gang-cheol rushed urgently to the temporary base camp of the Management Bureau.

“Director!”

He went straight to Director Lee Ji-tae and demanded an explanation.

“Director. Did you really approve that? It’s extremely dangerous! And Suyeon…….”

He had come after hearing that Director Lee Ji-tae had approved Kang Yu-jun’s plan to raid the Tower of Ashes with only his team members.
Director Lee Ji-tae frowned slightly and rebuked him.

“Keep your voice down.”
“Everyone already knows anyway!”

Vice Director So Gang-cheol looked at Director Lee Ji-tae as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Why did you approve it?”

He glanced around.
Although he had rushed over as soon as he heard the news, neither Kang Yu-jun nor his team members were visible.

“Where did Trainer Kang go? Surely he hasn’t already entered?”
“He hasn’t gone in yet.”
“Then I should go right now and……!”

The Bureau Director gripped So Gang-cheol’s shoulder.

“It’s fine.”
“How is it fine! If something happens to Suyeon……!”
“You asked why I approved it?”

Director Lee Ji-tae spoke.

“He told me something.”

He relayed to Vice Director So Gang-cheol what he had heard just moments before.

“He asked if I’d ever known him to fail.”
…….

Vice Director So Gang-cheol fell silent.

“I behaved just like you do now. Silence. I had nothing to say, because everything that Trainer Kang Yu-jun has done so far has succeeded. We were always like that too, weren’t we? This will fail. It will be difficult. It will be impossible. But the result? He succeeded. That’s why my mouth wouldn’t open.”

When asked if he’d ever failed, the Bureau Director had nothing to say.
Every task everyone said would fail, Kang Yu-jun had succeeded at.
Every single one without exception, and naturally the difficulty of those tasks was near-impossible.
Moreover, he hadn’t merely succeeded—he’d achieved outstanding results, what you’d call grand success.

He trained Demon Beasts and S-rank Awakeners, and following SS-rank, he trained every Awakener domestically and overseas without distinction.
Not only that—he succeeded in training the prestigious families like the Geumgang Kim Family and the Sky Thunder Choi Family, and when it was mentioned that he’d never trained a major guild before, he even succeeded in training the Promise Guild.
So there was no way to refuse Yujun’s request.
Like everything until now, this task too would succeed.

“He said he doesn’t do anything he expects to fail at.”
…….
“So I approved it. You have something to say?”

That was the truth.
Who proceeds with a task assuming failure?

“But…….”
“I know.”

He understood that concern.
Whatever else, it was his great worry that Suyeon was included in this raid.

“Suyeon said she wanted to do it.”

While Kang Yu-jun’s opinion mattered, his daughter Suyeon’s heart was just as important.

“I won’t be able to look after her forever.”

As a parent, when your child wants to spread her wings and fly, you can’t stop her with danger as your only reason.

“Director…….”
“Prepare yourself.”

But Director Lee Ji-tae didn’t intend to simply trust Kang Yu-jun and nothing more.

“Let’s make thorough preparations so we can enter and help if things get dangerous.”
“Yes! Understood!”

* * *

Before the Tower of Ashes.
Word that Kang Yu-jun was challenging the Tower of Ashes raid spread to the guilds.
Dream Guild couldn’t climb the tower due to Han Gyu-jin’s injury, but they were still waiting at the base camp in front of the Tower of Ashes.

“Wow. Seriously.”
“Trainer Kang Yu-jun. What on earth is he thinking?”

They murmured with expressions of disbelief.
Most of the Awakeners at this camp were S-rank or above.
There were a few A-rankers, but these were included because they possessed special abilities or because their combinations could produce S-rank or higher power.
Yet all of Kang Yu-jun’s team members were Awakeners who lived up to their ranks.

“Im Seok-jae? That Im Seok-jae? I hear he has skills, but…….”

None of the four Awakeners belonged to the top ten guilds.

“Yu Je-na at least accomplished quite a bit at Neverland, from what I hear.”
“Wait, isn’t that person the Director’s daughter?”
“I’m pretty sure?”
“Wow. So the Director approved this?”
“What could he possibly be thinking…….”

Everyone could only murmur with unfavorable expressions.

“Isn’t he just overconfident at this point?”
“He hasn’t failed so far.”
“But seriously, I’m curious about that person. Who is she?”

All eyes turned to Woo Ha-na.
Woo Ha-na was an Awakener who had been A-rank until just before her training with Yujun.
After receiving training from Yujun, she had become part of Sky Guild and distinguished herself raiding multiple towers, but since she hadn’t achieved remarkable feats that the first-string Awakeners of Dream Guild would know about, they were curious about her.
Woo Ha-na was pretending to be unbothered, but this situation seemed to weigh heavily on her.
Yujun spoke to Woo Ha-na.

“Ha-na. The top-tier guild Awakeners here don’t know much about you.”

Woo Ha-na clenched her fists.

“Let’s show them. Today, in this place, let’s show them who Ha-na is.”

Woo Ha-na nodded.

“I’ll show them.”

Who she was.

“I’ll make sure they see exactly who trained me.”

The entrance to the Tower of Ashes.
The Management Bureau employee managing it was looking at Kang Yu-jun with considerable tension.

“Are you really…… going in? Just the five of you?”
“Yes.”

Hum.
The entrance opened immediately because they had ID cards.
The Management Bureau employee watched them with a worried expression.

“……Good luck!”

But all the employee could do was wish them luck.

-Entering the Tower of Ashes!

Whoooosh.
Ding!
The moment they entered the Tower of Ashes, Yujun heard an entry notification that was very familiar to him.

‘I’m back.’

Rank one.
The master of the Tower of Infinity had returned.

* * *

After Yujun and his team entered the Tower of Ashes.

MiTube, Hunternet.
And news articles began to appear as well.

-[Exclusive] Kang Yu-jun Enters the Worst Predicament, ‘Tower of Ashes’…… All Party Members Are ‘Unknown Awakeners’?
-“Kang Yu-jun’s Arrogance or New Gamble? Hunter Community in Uproar Over Tower of Ashes Entry.”

Currently, the Tower of Ashes had its difficulty firmly established through accounts from the top-tier guilds and their members.
It was a place that no one below S-rank could even attempt, and while the rewards were great relative to the danger, it was a place no one could challenge lightly due to how dangerous it was.

-Dream Guild Suspends Tower of Ashes Raid Due to Han Gyu-jin’s Injury.

The fact that the top-tier guilds had given up on further raids, combined with news of Han Gyu-jin’s injury, made the difficulty of the Tower of Ashes crystal clear.

Since returning to Korea, Han Gyu-jin had never once suffered an injury like this.
While overseeing Awakener training and tower raids, Han Gyu-jin had always delivered results, never stopping like this.

-It’s a relief, but…… Man, the Tower of Ashes really is no joke.
-Didn’t Han Gyu-jin go into a tower with a raid team before?
-He did. There was no reason for him to get hurt then.
-So there’s a big difference in difficulty.
-But…… Trainer Kang Yu-jun is entering that kind of place right now.
-With unknown Awakeners at that.
-Of them, I only know Lee Su-yeon. I know her because she’s the Director’s daughter.
-I know Yu Je-na too…… but that’s because she’s part of Neverland Guild.
-This really doesn’t make sense.

The Tower of Ashes was a place that Han Gyu-jin, leading the elite of Dream Guild’s first-string Awakeners, couldn’t raid.
In fact, they barely made it to the 4th Floor before they couldn’t advance any further.

-This really seems…… arrogant.
-After seeing what happened to Han Gyu-jin.
-Could that be why he’s trying to go deeper?
-No way.

Yujun was quite satisfied with the reactions from just before entering the tower.

Cheongyong, Sunlight, Master…….
Even renowned guilds found it difficult, and the news that Kang Yu-jun had entered with unknown Awakeners where famous domestic Awakeners had failed must have caused quite a stir.

The 1st Floor of the Tower of Ashes was filled with a desolate atmosphere.

-You have entered the 1st Floor of the Tower of Ashes!
-The ashen aura surges around you.

The walls shook the moment they entered.
Ashen fangs cascading from the ceiling and a powerful debuff magic spreading across the ground.

……!

Lee Su-yeon’s Iron Wall activated.

In Yujun’s eyes, everything was crystal clear.

In an instant.
She neutralized the traps in a flash by stepping only on the safe platforms.

Yujun’s True Eye doesn’t only pierce through people.

Im Seok-jae tore up the ground of the Tower of Ashes without hesitation.
Then something hidden there began to appear.

“What is that?”
