The Transcendent Genius Trainer 242

-Hidden Trait activates!

Thanks to the Hidden Trait, even the smallest movement caused Ureop’s muscles to begin growing.
Crack-. Crack-crack-.

“Don’t stop!”

Yujun rebuked Ureop, who had faltered in alarm.

Screech-!
Following Yujun’s word, Ureop swung his axe with urgency.

With each swing, heat flooded through every muscle in his body.
Crash-crash-crash-!

“The smoke…….”

Ureop was startled by the changes occurring in his own body.
Screech-!
Intense heat. His entire musculature surged with warmth.

“……!”

With each swing of his axe, Ureop felt his entire musculature writhe and contract—a sensation he had never experienced before.
It was entirely new.

His muscles were screaming.
They were tearing and healing in endless repetition.

-Aura of Recovery activates!

Combined with Yujun’s skill, the Aura of Recovery, the dwarf’s natural healing surge intensified dramatically.

Crack-!
Yujun kept his focus sharp, observing Ureop’s body with unwavering attention.

Crack-. Crack-crack-crack.

‘His Iron Bone has reached an impressively high level.’

Crash-crash-crash-!
Crack-!
With that degree of Iron Bone, Ureop could dispatch the monsters Yujun had faced between the 3rd and 4th Floors with ease.

‘It’ll definitely work from the 6th Floor up to the 10th.’

As long as the muscles could hold.

‘But it’s definitely different. Especially internally. The recovery speed and characteristics are different, so conventional training won’t be as effective.’

Yujun smiled slightly.
Which was precisely why his First Heterogeneous Species Training was bound to be deeply satisfying.

“Is what I’m seeing right now…… actually real?”
“Captain Ureop’s body…… is growing bigger with every swing of that axe, isn’t it……?”

The other dwarves murmured among themselves, watching the training.

“I’ve never seen…… training like this before.”
“Our trainers couldn’t do it this way, could they?”

In the dwarf city where they lived, there were trainers.
And they had been quite helpful in developing the dwarves.
Yet they had failed to address the fundamental problem afflicting those with Iron Bone ability like Ureop.

“This is…… like a curse, isn’t it?”

Those who possessed Iron Bone would eventually encounter such a phenomenon.
Many dwarf trainers and dwarf warriors had labored to eliminate this symptom over countless years, yet none had ever succeeded.

The trainers called this symptom a curse.
An incurable curse.

“This isn’t like a curse at all.”

Just then, Yujun spoke to the dwarves.

“It’s merely a symptom. A side effect that comes with the Iron Bone ability.”

Certainly not a curse.
Only a correctable side effect.

“In other words…….”
“We can correct it.”

Yujun nodded firmly and affirmed his words.

“We can train it away.”

Crack-!
Yujun swung the Geumgang Iron Staff with greater force.
With each strike, Ureop’s posture steadily improved.

Boom-boom-boom-!
The power felt with each swing of the axe.
And the dwarf’s inherent traits were steadily growing stronger.

“The Blessing of the Earth…….”
“It couldn’t be accepted before.”
“And now it’s flowing directly into his body…….”

When dwarves planted their feet upon the earth, they received an additional surge of power.
It was the racial trait possessed by dwarves, known as the Blessing of the Earth.

‘I need to factor this racial trait into the training as well.’

This was part of what made Heterogeneous Species Training so enjoyable.

‘Each race has significantly different inherent traits. I have to adjust the existing training methods to account for those differences.’

While this placed considerable burden on a trainer, for Yujun it transformed that burden into pure pleasure.

“Wow…….”

The dwarves marveled at Yujun’s training, which he executed without hesitation.

“Is this really…… training?”

The training they knew was nothing like this.
Could this even be called training?

“It’s like magic.”

No matter how you looked at it, this was magic.

“……It looks close to dark magic.”

Smoke rising from Ureop’s body.
Every time Yujun gripped the Geumgang Iron Staff and struck, Ureop grew stronger.
By any measure, this had to be dark magic!

“This is my training method.”
“Do…… all humans train like this?”
“Yes.”

Of course, Yujun’s training was special.
But he did not believe his training fell outside the bounds of human capability.
How could such training not be human?

“……!”
“……!”

The dwarves trembled at Yujun’s words.
Humans truly were a terrifying race.
One must never battle humans.
To think they wielded such dark magic training to forge human weapons.

“Creating such incredible training…….”
“Frightening…… humans are frightening.”

The dwarves clicked their tongues and focused intently on the training.
They all knew the burden Ureop carried.
His Iron Bone, a mighty ability that had saved their lives countless times, was ironically threatening his own life.

Yet even as he continued to use that Iron Bone, Ureop was no longer suffering.
His spirit seemed to grow stronger instead.

“……!”

Crack-!
Ureop’s last strike was far more powerful than before.

‘Good.’

Sweat poured from every part of Ureop’s body.
And muscle was accumulating on his frame.
But not just any muscle.

‘Dense muscle built to withstand Iron Bone.’

Muscle density was changing. Elasticity was changing.

‘The high-quality muscle being built now enables him to sustain Iron Bone without the pain.’

Crack-! Crack-!
Ureop’s growing body.
And simultaneously, stability settled into movements that had been wavering.
Ureop realized the pain was subsiding.

Then Yujun smiled and activated a skill.

“Guide Light.”

-Guide Light activates!

Suddenly, a bright light appeared before Ureop’s eyes.

“You’ll see a light.”

Right now his movements were inefficient in many ways—contorted attempts to reduce the pain from Iron Bone.
They were movements born of compromise, trying to use Iron Bone while minimizing agony.

‘His body has gotten used to that.’

But Yujun spoke again, more firmly.

-True Word Correction activates!

Ureop followed the light and moved.
He grounded his feet as if pressing the earth, twisted his core, and deployed Iron Bone.
Crash-crash-crash-!
For the first time, Ureop was using full-body Iron Bone instead of fragmenting it by region to manage pain.

From his lower body through his hips, shoulders, to his arms.
Screeeech-!
The sudden explosive force made everyone look at Ureop with worry.
As the power of Iron Bone surged, so too did the pain that accompanied it.

“…….”

Ureop gritted his teeth.
Even if pain came, now was the moment to swing.
Boom-boom-boom-boom-!
As he swung the axe, an enormous crater opened in the earth as if a meteor had fallen.

“Yujun……”

From within the crater, he looked up at Yujun.
His face was deeply confused.

“How…… how is this……?”

Yujun smiled at the bewildered Ureop.

“How do you feel?”

He had unleashed full Iron Bone alongside that tremendous force.
Yet there was no pain.
His muscles bore no damage whatsoever.
True, they still rippled, but his shoulder muscles—which should have torn—remained intact.

“The pain…… is completely gone.”

But that wasn’t all that had changed.

“Power…… is overflowing!”

It was only natural, given how rapidly his muscles were accumulating.
Yet Yujun was not satisfied.

‘The effect is slightly lower than I expected.’

He should have achieved greater power.

‘Plus there’s still that reddish glow. It even grew slightly when he swung.’

Dwarves were indeed different.

‘I need to push harder.’

With a human, pushing harder at this stage risked actual injury.
But dwarves possessed supremely resilient bodies.

‘I need to be harsher.’

That’s what would yield results.
And dwarves could handle it.

“Swing once more.”

The fear of pain gone, Ureop now trusted the glimmering Guide Light more actively.
Thump-.
He planted his feet firmly and swung the axe upward this time, as if striking skyward.

At that moment, Yujun also swung the Geumgang Iron Staff.
Thump-! Thump-!

‘Harder.’

More mana needed to flow.
The posture needed to bend further.

‘It should reach the point where balance nearly shatters.’

Iron Bone would support everything.

‘And now, muscles from all over his body need to engage.’

With muscle attaching at breakneck speed, he needed a posture that would stimulate muscles throughout the entire body.

-Force Sync: Avatar activates!

Yujun immediately transmitted his own movements directly into Ureop.

“I’m going to pass on my movements exactly. Give yourself over to the training.”

Through Force Sync: Avatar, Yujun began executing movements that would stimulate muscles across Ureop’s entire body.

Everything changed.
All of it.
The assumptions Ureop had held began crumbling, and his body began normalizing.

Screeeech-!

Boom-!
The axe fell to the earth, and blue light began spreading across Ureop’s entire body.

‘Done.’

The danger that his Iron Bone ability would gnaw away at him was gone.

Ding-!
-Training complete!
-Calculating Training Score!
-Training Score 12 / 20
-Excellent training that makes skillful use of the species’ inherent traits!
-Achievement unlocked!
-Achievement [Dwarf Training] unlocked!
-Achievement [First Heterogeneous Species Training] unlocked!

Following the Dwarf Training achievement came the First Heterogeneous Species Training achievement.

-A new skill has become available to learn due to achievement!

“……!”

Yujun smiled as he beheld the new skill, struck by simultaneous wonder and delight.

‘It unlocked here, then.’
