Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 24
Thunder Guild.
“Assistant Manager Im Seok-jae will be joining our Might Team 1.”
“I’m Im Seok-jae. Please take care of me.”
Each guild had different names for them, but the guild elites were often assigned to either Might Team 1 or Sales Team 1.
Im Seok-jae was officially joining Might Team 1 after his skills were recognized in regular raids.
He had the ability to belong to Might Team 1 long ago, but the major flaw of not being able to unleash his full power had kept him out of Team 1 until now.
But now that was fixed, he immediately joined Might Team 1 and was called up for unconquered Tower raids right away.
“Today’s regular unconquered Tower raid is at the Tower of Thunder at 2 PM.”
Regular raids were conducted in two ways.
Climbing conquered Towers and climbing unconquered Towers.
The latter was a matter of the guild’s fate, so each guild had no choice but to select only their elite.
The money paid to the government to climb Towers plus the cost of various supplies added up to quite a burdensome price.
“Let’s depart.”
Tower of Lightning.
One of the unconquered Towers located in Gwanghwamun, this Tower of Lightning was a place where various lightning resistance artifacts were absolutely necessary.
At the same time, the main dealer was most important, so most guilds employed S-rank Awakened or top-tier A-rank Awakened as main dealers.
“Assistant Manager Im, don’t worry and give it your all.”
Behind Im Seok-jae were several top-tier A-rank tanks.
Im Seok-jae looked at those top-tier A-rank tanks with admiration.
‘Might Team 1 really is different.’
It was a team he had always wanted to join.
Only by entering here could one be considered core personnel of the guild.
But there was also something he was secretly worried about.
The monsters in unconquered Towers were incredibly strong.
His skills might not meet the standards for a main dealer.
‘No, let’s not worry too much.’
Im Seok-jae decided to trust not himself, but Kang Yu-jun.
“Here I go.”
Since it was his first raid, everyone was watching Im Seok-jae closely.
As with anyone, people usually can’t exert their proper strength during their first raid.
Especially the monsters in unconquered Towers were overwhelmingly strong.
They were incomparable to the monsters in conquered Towers.
Therefore, this unconquered Tower raid was planned to proceed centered around Im Seok-jae, the new main dealer.
It meant this was a raid to help Im Seok-jae gain experience.
Might Team 1 had a total of three main dealers, but now with Im Seok-jae, there were four.
The three stepped back, ready to support Im Seok-jae at any time.
“Ready.”
A lightning fox appeared in front of Im Seok-jae.
Thud-.
Im Seok-jae thrust his fist at the lightning fox that leaped forward.
There was a tank behind him.
So all he had to do was reach out his hand.
-Extend.
Im Seok-jae recalled Yujun’s words.
-Visualize the flow of mana. Like a rushing river. Make the visualized mana explode where you want it to.
Crack-.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaak-!
“Wow.”
“…Is this really your first time on an unconquered raid?”
“There’s no hesitation?”
“His movements are insane.”
Following the regular raid, Im Seok-jae began showing incredible performance in the unconquered Tower raid.
“We easily climbed to the 7th floor today.”
“The clear time was faster too, right?”
“Our Assistant Manager Im was excellent.”
Everyone praised Im Seok-jae who had newly joined.
If he performed this well from his first raid, he would produce even better results once he got used to it.
But while Im Seok-jae bowed his head, he was thinking something else.
Limits.
Unconquered Tower raids were definitely not easy.
‘I absolutely can’t do this alone.’
He had improved much more than before.
That’s why he couldn’t help but recall Yujun’s training.
‘I need to learn more.’
“Everyone, attention!”
After the raid ended.
After finishing the Tower climb, the settlement was made.
“Congratulations, Assistant Manager Im.”
“Deputy Im is this time’s MVP. The team leader said he’s giving Deputy Im a bonus today.”
“Geez, who is it? Who did he receive training from that his skills improved so much? Tell me too.”
Despite having the powerful awakened ability called superhuman strength, everyone at Thunder Guild knew he couldn’t bring out his full power.
But in just a few days, he showed tremendous strength as if he had become a different person.
So they couldn’t help but be curious.
He had fired a personal trainer who was rumored to be skilled in the industry and signed a new contract with a trainer – who exactly was this trainer that completely transformed Im Seok-jae like this?
“It’s a secret.”
Im Seok-jae said with an awkward smile.
“So what are you going to do with that money?”
“I have somewhere to spend it.”
He said with sparkling eyes.
“There’s someone I want to give it to.”
* * *
Neverland Guild Master’s Office.
“So then….”
The Guild Master was hearing the detailed story from Lee Su-yeon.
“You’re saying you didn’t gain much in England?”
Actually, there wasn’t much detail to hear.
The situation was very simple.
“The overseas trainers were definitely excellent. I learned a lot. But… they couldn’t fix my problem.”
She didn’t gain much from England, where she had gone spending expensive money.
Of course, the training methods of the English trainers that broke away from conventional approaches were amazing.
But they couldn’t fix Lee Su-yeon’s problem itself.
“They said there was nothing they could do about it either. They said they didn’t know why this was happening either.”
Lee Su-yeon met many trainers there.
“I couldn’t meet S-rank trainers, but I met several A-rank trainers.”
“You must have met Matt too?”
“Yes, I met Matt too.”
Matt was a rising trainer in England whom she met through the Guild Master’s recommendation.
He had started from the bottom and reached A-rank trainer in a short time, and was rumored to be good at fixing numerous problems of the Awakened.
He had the nickname “problem solver” for quickly correcting and resolving problems that England’s promising talents and famous Awakened had.
However, even that problem solver couldn’t solve her problem.
“But how?”
How on earth did she fix what even Matt couldn’t solve?
“Your message said a domestic trainer fixed it….”
“Yes, that’s right. Trainer Kang Yu-jun here fixed it for me.”
“….”
He couldn’t figure out where to start asking.
Kang Yu-jun was a failed Youth, but a trainer? And he fixed what even Matt couldn’t?
“You came back today, right? Without fixing the fainting.”
So he decided to go through it step by step.
“Yes, I came back today. I couldn’t fix the fainting.”
She had returned from England today.
Without fixing her weakness.
“And… you solved that fainting problem today? You’re saying Kang Yu-jun here corrected it?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s perfect!”
Lee Su-yeon nodded vigorously.
“Okay… let’s say that’s true. Let’s say that could happen. Setting everything aside, let’s say that was possible!”
Let’s say it was possible because Kang Yu-jun’s skills were so exceptional.
But the identity of that person in question was the problem.
He wasn’t a trainer but a failed Youth.
Since he heard news that he was released not long ago, he wouldn’t have had time to build trainer experience either.
He had heard occasional news after that, but they were all hard-to-believe stories.
“Wasn’t Kang Yu-jun not a trainer?”
“He switched careers recently.”
“I knew from hearing the news. I heard about Woo Ha-na too.”
He had heard the news that he corrected Woo Ha-na’s problem.
But who could believe that?
Naturally, he thought Sky Guild had started some new project.
He figured they brought the failed Youth Kang Yu-jun and were planning to repackage him somehow and put him out there.
He pressed his forehead again.
From one to ten, he couldn’t understand a single thing.
The Guild Master frowned deeply, unable to understand this situation along with the guild’s current situation.
Seeing that expression, Yujun spoke.
“Guild Master, is that what’s important?”
Yujun asked as he watched the Guild Master suffering.
The Guild Master blinked his eyes for a moment.
“….”
“What’s really important is the facts, isn’t it? You just need to confirm the facts about what you’ve heard. Guild Master, I switched to being a Trainer and discovered a talent I didn’t know I had. I trained Woo Ha-na and my results were recognized. Woo Ha-na was promoted to Sky Guild’s Sales Team 1.”
Sky Guild’s Sales Team 1 meant she was among the complete first-string Awakened belonging to Sky Guild.
The Tower conquest team.
It meant she was an elite Awakened recognized within Sky Guild.
“And I also fixed the weaknesses of Lee Su-yeon, who returned today.”
Yujun spoke with a confident expression.
“If you don’t believe that I solved Lee Su-yeon’s problem, I can show you directly.”
At Yujun’s words, the headache gradually disappeared.
His deeply furrowed expression also returned to a relaxed face.
“…That’s right?”
There was no reason to think about it in a complicated way.
What was the point of suspecting him?
When it was a clear fact that he had really fixed it.
“Then can I… see it once?”
“Yes!”
Lee Su-yeon immediately created a barrier with all her strength.
“Iron Wall.”
Shaaak-.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak-!
Instantly, a solid barrier formed around her.
It wasn’t just at the level of a solid barrier.
It was an iron wall barrier with a grayish tint that seemed capable of blocking any attack.
“How is it? I just became able to do this, so it feels awkward. I feel like I should faint, and it doesn’t feel real either.”
Lee Su-yeon chattered while maintaining her barrier.
“Huh.”
It was real.
His gaze looked at the barrier then turned directly to Yujun.
“This is insane.”
No other words came to mind.
This was really insane.
A smile formed on his face.
A new S-rank could be born from this!
At the same time, he began to become curious about Yujun’s training skills.
What method did he use to cure Lee Su-yeon’s chronic problem?
Even A-rank Trainers couldn’t do it.
Even the various trainers who had produced countless A-rank Awakened until now couldn’t do it.
But then suddenly, the current situation the guild was facing overwhelmed him again.
Now wasn’t the time to be happy about this situation.
Lee Su-yeon’s chronic problem being cured would be a great strength for Neverland Guild, but that very Neverland Guild could collapse in an instant.
“Hah….”
Yujun smiled and spoke to the Guild Master who was sighing in a complicated manner.
He was going off on his own again.
He needed someone to make the situation simple and clear for him.
“Shall I tell you again?”
Then Yujun stepped in.
The Guild Master was now listening favorably to Yujun’s words. Unlike when they first met, his attitude had changed to be much more agreeable.
“As I mentioned earlier, I roughly knew from what I heard that the situation wasn’t good.”
“…Did Sky Guild tell you? That means the rumors have already spread everywhere.”
He grumbled with a frown.
“Damn it. Then the Mercenary Guild will demand an enormous contract fee too.”
Knowing that Neverland Guild was desperate, the Mercenary Guild would raise their prices significantly.
Neverland Guild needed personnel immediately.
So they would greatly increase the price to match that demand.
Even in the current situation they were operating at a loss, but if they demanded higher prices, it might be better to choose not to hire them and accept the penalty along with a drop in guild score.
No, no. That drop would also be….
“Guild Master.”
Yujun called him again.
“Shall I help you?”
“…You can help?”
“I’d have to see first to know for sure, but you have to spend money anyway, don’t you?”
Yujun said with a grin.
“Give that money to me. I’ll solve it for you at that price.”
