Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 33
‘The crack in her head, what on earth is that? It’s very thick and deep.’
Yujun wore a serious expression.
It seemed to be a problem that had persisted for quite a long time.
‘Even red light is leaking out.’
The red light, opposite to the blue light, seemed to indicate a risk of major injury beyond just a crack.
‘It might even be directly connected to her life.’
“That headache, how long have you had it?”
Yu Je-na thought for a moment before answering his question.
“It’s been a long time. Over 10 years.”
She watched his reaction as she spoke.
She had never revealed her headaches to anyone before.
Until now, no trainer had ever noticed it before she told them first.
“Hmm, so you adopted that training method to get rid of those headaches.”
“Yes, I made a contract with a personal trainer. They’re a trainer from the Blue Guild…”
She explained how she had learned this training method.
Hearing this, Yujun nodded his head.
‘It’s definitely a method that only S-rank Yu Je-na could use.’
But this wasn’t training meant for long-term use.
“This doesn’t seem like a training session designed for long-term practice.”
“…!”
“…Then, may I take a look for now?”
Yu Je-na nodded at Yujun’s words.
‘I wonder if he’ll be able to see anything.’
-Casting Awakened Scan!
Shaaaaa-!
Her body became transparent for a moment. At the same time, his eyes began to ache.
‘Ugh.’
The pain was so intense that he couldn’t help but groan.
-Awakened Scan is impossible.
-The light of the Focus skill grows dim.
Currently, Yujun could only see up to A-rank Awakened.
‘If I looked at Im Seok-jae now, I’d be able to see everything.’
Indeed, S-rank Awakened were on a different level.
But it wasn’t like he couldn’t see anything at all.
‘I can see it faintly.’
Awakened Scan was impossible.
Instead, he could see vaguely through the effect of his Focus skill.
‘I can see the cracks, blue light, and red light. I need to make deductions based on this.’
It was quite a difficult task.
But at the same time, it was interesting.
‘This is what it’s all about.’
Originally, training was work that had the appeal of seeing through everything with small pieces of information.
‘Training that would eat away at an S-rank Awakened.’
The injury caused by that training.
‘It’s also training meant to eliminate chronic headaches.’
Information spread out in Yujun’s mind like a flash, then began rising upward like arrows. Dozens became tens. And tens became just a few.
And then.
Light shot upward and began converging into one.
‘Overload.’
Not just any overload.
‘It’s not a simple overload. This is…’
He connected it to the crack in her head.
‘Mana panic?’
The most important thing for Awakened is mana.
Mana becomes harder to control as an Awakened’s rank increases.
‘When something that used to work well stops working, you naturally put in more effort.’
That’s where problems arise.
‘An overload naturally occurs, and things that used to work well start to malfunction.’
This could lead to mental problems.
That was exactly what mana panic was.
Like hyperventilation, it involved drawing mana so forcefully that it caused an overload.
Thanks to that, the mana would move and the headache would disappear, but problems would inevitably arise as a result.
‘At first, it would seem to have an effect.’
The training session itself wasn’t wrong.
‘I need to observe first.’
He needed to see how she had been training.
“Awakened Yu Je-na, that training method is dangerous.”
At those words, Yu Je-na took a deep breath.
So he was the same as all the other trainers after all.
“Your training method is correct. To solve your current problem, that training method is right. You’re an S-rank Awakened. Don’t you know best about your own training methods?”
“…What?”
However, Kang Yu-jun gave the complete opposite answer.
It’s your training method’s fault, and because of that your physical condition deteriorated and those people got hurt.
She had naturally expected him to say that.
The trainers at Neverland were making that judgment.
They just couldn’t say it because they were being considerate of her as an S-rank Awakened.
If they said that and Yu Je-na decided to leave Neverland, there would be no greater disaster.
But Yu Je-na wasn’t heartless enough to leave in a fit of anger.
Neverland Guild was the guild where she was born and raised.
How much help had she received from Neverland from her Youth days until reaching this position?
That’s why she was filled with anger.
But Yujun was different.
He was speaking with genuine sincerity.
‘Yu Je-na’s training method wasn’t wrong.’
Now he needed to accurately identify the problem.
‘To train her, I need to observe her training method.’
And he needed to pinpoint exactly where the cracks were forming, and even identify the core of the crack in her mind.
‘I can’t just teach her casually and be done with it.’
He needed to use everything he currently possessed.
“Could you show me once?”
“Hmm…”
Yu Je-na hesitated briefly, then immediately ignited flames on her body.
Whoooosh—.
Her ability was a fire-type power called Volcano.
Literally like an erupting volcano, it was an intense flame power that was much stronger than most similar fire abilities.
Its destructive power was incomparable, and it was renowned as flames that could even burn lightning.
‘It’s incomparable to Ignition.’
This Volcano was actually the superior version of Kim Min-seok’s Ignition ability.
‘If Kim Min-seok simply ignites parts of his body.’
Yu Je-na’s power was the ability to concentrate flames at a single point and move them as desired.
For example.
Whoooosh—!
She instantly created a sword made of flames.
Then she swung it directly.
Swoosh—!
The flame sword traced a beautiful sword path. She continuously spewed flames or swung them moment by moment.
Yujun’s eyes widened.
-Concentration level is insufficient.
-Concentration level is insufficient.
With Concentration Lv.2, he couldn’t see through her movements.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
-The proficiency of your Concentration skill increases!
The Concentration skill was just an auxiliary technique.
Yujun had good observational skills to begin with.
With those eyes, he clearly observed her movements and mana flow. Even if he saw it hazily, it was fine. He could still analyze it sufficiently.
‘I can see through it even with small pieces of information.’
His mind raced intensely.
Every time she moved, the hazily visible mana flow entered Yujun’s mind and combined with the information he already possessed.
Whoosh—!
Swoosh—!
“…!”
Right now, something was strange.
The moment the flames erupted, a very small explosion occurred in her mana roads.
‘That’s it.’
Along with the Awakened Training System, Yujun’s senses immediately caught something beyond that.
‘The existing Neverland trainers must have known something was strange. But because it was so small, they couldn’t notice it.’
But they probably never realized the reason behind it.
‘That’s the reason.’
Yu Je-na’s training method involved overloading while intermittently destroying mana roads.
Like tearing and regenerating muscles, she used a method of momentarily tearing and regenerating mana roads.
That’s how she was strengthening her mana roads.
‘Did she think that she had a lot of mana but her mana roads were too weak to handle that mana?’
This probably wasn’t the trainer’s idea.
‘It must be Yu Je-na’s idea.’
She probably established this training method through another trainer, and based on this training method, Neverland Guild’s trainers created new training sessions.
What they overlooked here was the shock absorption rate.
‘Yu Je-na is fast at this process of tearing and recovering mana roads. In short, this disaster happened because the shock absorption rate was different.’
Yu Je-na could handle the damage and recovery from this training, but other Awakened couldn’t.
‘It’s dangerous.’
This method is too dangerous.
Once mana roads are damaged, they require considerable time to recover.
‘Sometimes they don’t recover at all.’
If you mess with mana roads incorrectly, you might not be able to use mana in that area at all.
‘Mana roads aren’t like muscles.’
Even if they heal after being injured, they don’t become stronger than before. There’s no guarantee they’ll be as good as before either.
Shaaaak-.
She moved again.
Crackle-. Crackle-.
Crrrack-.
With a roar, her flames became more intense, and the mana throughout her body howled.
Volcano.
That erupting power began to spread around her.
The surroundings became hot.
Everything around was getting so hot that it was becoming difficult to breathe.
However, Yujun didn’t take his eyes off Yu Je-na.
‘The crack is getting bigger.’
As the crack in her head grew larger, the red light was becoming even deeper.
‘Now’s the time.’
This point right now.
This point right now is the root of all problems.
‘It’s definitely mana panic. Overload caused by that. That’s what caused the mana roads to swell and create problems.’
Yujun could be certain.
She’s losing control in the process of using too much mana.
The resulting overload was spreading throughout her body, further worsening even the crack in her head.
‘It’s swelling up.’
But it recovers quickly.
The overwhelming recovery power of an S-rank Awakened was making this ridiculous training possible.
It was a training method that was digestible because she was an S-rank Awakened.
That’s why Yujun was convinced this training wasn’t wrong.
‘The direction is accurate.’
If she didn’t have mana panic, this training would be an excellent method that could maximize an S-rank Awakened’s recovery power to bring about rapid growth.
‘Especially since that recovery power comes from her ability, Volcano.’
It could actually be considered more stable.
‘A double-edged sword.’
It’s excellent training in terms of rapid growth, but the worst training method in terms of safety.
Shaaaak-.
Whoosh-.
Leaving behind residual heat, Yu Je-na extinguished her flames.
“Are you alright?”
“Yes.”
Despite his answer, Yujun felt like his insides were burning. Yu Je-na had displayed powerful force as if spewing it out. Having watched that up close, he couldn’t help but be affected.
‘Whoooo.’
-The proficiency of your Concentration skill increases greatly!
But thanks to that, his Concentration skill proficiency increased greatly.
‘Still can’t see it.’
The S-rank Awakened still appeared blurry.
However.
‘It’s a little less blurry than before.’
In truth, it was ambiguous whether this could even be called “less,” but for Yujun, this much was enough.
“…This must be difficult for you, right? Actually, I couldn’t figure it out either. Even the trainer I personally hired said there was no other method besides this training approach. In the end, he said it was all up to me.”
She had already given up long ago.
S-rank Awakened inevitably had minimal intervention from trainers due to their unique abilities.
Of course, it might be different if there was a trainer who specialized in teaching S-ranks.
But such trainers were difficult to meet.
“I found it.”
At Yujun’s words, Yu Je-na’s eyes widened in surprise.
“…What?”
“I can’t eliminate your headaches right away.”
At least.
“I can improve that current training method to suit you, Yu Je-na.”
Yujun spoke with a confident expression.
“A growth training session designed exclusively for you, Yu Je-na.”
In that moment, Yu Je-na’s heart began beating violently.
