Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 38
“Hmm.”
Before returning to Sky Guild.
Yujun was thinking of spending his points.
“I should unlock the Lv.3 skill first.”
130 points plus 25 points.
The points he earned from training Yu Je-na, an S-rank Awakened, totaled a whopping 155 points.
Yujun was planning to first use 100 points to upgrade the Awakened Training System to Lv.3.
‘And I’ll use the rest for physical enhancement.’
Training Yu Je-na, an S-rank Awakened, had been extremely difficult.
‘I almost failed.’
Even though Yujun was experienced, training an S-rank Awakened was quite challenging in itself.
‘Especially Jenna was really tough.’
Despite clearly being a ranged-type Awakened, her body was incredibly solid.
Even when he gave it his all, it was difficult to even move parts of her body.
S-rank Awakened were definitely on a different level.
Even though he increased his accuracy and continuously struck the precise spots, the visible impact from the outside was minimal.
‘Still, I’m glad I succeeded in moving her internals.’
However, he couldn’t complete the training as much as he had thought.
‘That’s why I only got 3 points.’
Fortunately, he was able to get 3 points because he solved her problem.
What Yujun actually did was really minor.
This just shows how high-level training an S-rank Awakened is.
‘Still.’
Training an S-rank was a very good experience.
Thanks to that, he was able to accumulate points.
‘Plus, I unintentionally unlocked a new power too.’
“Training in games and training in reality really have big differences.”
He was able to clearly realize his shortcomings.
‘I need to raise the level of Awakened Scan higher than it is now.’
-The proficiency of Awakened Scan is insufficient.
-Checking the points needed to unlock Awakened Scan Lv.3!
-Required points: 200P
But right now, he couldn’t raise the level of Awakened Scan.
‘The proficiency is lacking. Same with the points.’
Then the next best option would be to raise the Focus level, but similarly, he still couldn’t raise the Focus skill level yet.
‘I just raised it to Lv.3 not long ago.’
-The proficiency of Focus skill is insufficient.
-Cannot raise the level of Focus skill.
‘Then.’
He could pivot in a different direction.
‘I was somehow able to train an S-rank Awakened even with those mediocre two skills.’
He hadn’t planned to continuously train S-rank Awakened in the first place.
I said I’d take the first training Achievement and the power of Incubation.’
“Then.”
The best choice was to invest points in the physical enhancement skill.
“I should match the levels.”
Crack-.
Yujun gripped his staff tightly.
This was the first time he held his staff since his stats were enhanced by the Incubation skill. Yujun held the staff and tested this strengthened power.
Swoosh-!
The staff moved so fast it was incomparable to before.
“With this much, I can train A-rank Awakened without any problem.”
However, A-rank Awakened also had quite diverse abilities.
‘The Awakened I’ve trained so far weren’t the type with tough bodies.’
Not only Hana who was Youth, but Kim Gyo-jun, Im Seok-jae, and Lee Su-yeon all belonged to the soft-bodied type.
But among the first-string Awakened, there are many whose bodies have hardened from being Awakened for a long time.
‘There will also be Awakened who have difficulty changing their habits.’
To teach them, his current level of strength gained through incubation wouldn’t be enough.
“I need to become stronger.”
‘The incubation skill alone isn’t sufficient yet.’
He had trained Yu Je-na and gained stats through the incubation skill, but in the current situation, he absolutely couldn’t teach other S-ranks.
‘And next, I’m planning to train magical beasts.’
Leveling up the physical enhancement skill was essential.
-Would you like to level up the physical enhancement skill?
-40 points are required to unlock physical enhancement skill Lv.3.
It was the same amount of points as leveling up the concentration skill.
“Level up.”
Shaaaaaaak-!
-Physical enhancement level has reached Lv.3!
Kwagak-.
He didn’t gain muscle mass or experience a significant increase in mana.
‘I didn’t know that becoming stronger meant this.’
Yujun repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist, then once again held his staff and thrust it into the air.
Swaek-!
Until now, no matter what he did, it had been difficult to physically implement the knowledge in his head.
‘I thought it was because I was lacking.’
But that wasn’t it.
What was lacking wasn’t himself, but the power itself.
Physical strength.
He simply lacked the power that needed to be channeled from his toes to his hands.
‘So this is how it feels.’
This was what it felt like to thrust accurately.
His body wasn’t struggling to keep up. He was moving his body exactly as he wanted.
Seuruk-.
Kwaak-!
Accuracy.
Power.
The knowledge in Yujun’s head was perfectly reproduced through his body.
Yujun thought of Yu Je-na on the spot.
‘Her unique habits, unique movements, unique mana circulation method.’
Now he felt like he could clearly understand.
Whether those unique movements were appropriate or not.
‘Yu Je-na definitely had many misaligned aspects.’
Could he train her better now?
Yujun, who had created an imaginary Yu Je-na, swung his staff.
“Not quite there yet.”
But he could see the possibility.
“Interesting, very interesting.”
His mind kept spinning rapidly.
‘Even if not now.’
She had a high possibility of breaking through to S-rank.
‘If I train her properly, that is.’
“Huuuu.”
The stats that had risen through the incubation skill were refined when combined with physical enhancement.
‘The compatibility between these two skills is quite good.’
He wanted to test it out quickly.
“Let’s return for now.”
* * *
On the way back to Sky Guild.
Yujun first thought about what to do with the 500 million won contract fee he had received.
‘A studio apartment is still sufficient for now.’
500 million was a large sum, but at the same time, it was a small amount.
‘First, I’ll invest this.’
Yujun planned to spend this 500 million on his own organization.
‘Trainers don’t work alone.’
Basically, trainers form organizations.
Just as the Neverland Guild’s Team Leader currently has rehabilitation specialist trainers and training specialist trainers under him, Yujun needed experts in various fields to help him.
‘It’s the same in the Tower of Infinity.’
Personnel who could make training much easier were essential.
Among them, what he needed most was a blacksmith.
‘An artifact maker.’
Artifacts don’t just refer to equipment that’s simply effective against Tower monsters.
‘Since each Awakened has their own characteristics, equipment tailored to them is absolutely necessary.’
There might be Awakened who don’t suit existing equipment, and there would be Awakened who need exclusive equipment.
‘Or there might be cases where you need to make suitable equipment to help them realize hidden characteristics.’
However, Yujun was just a trainer.
‘I can’t just procure artifacts immediately when they’re needed.’
That’s when a blacksmith was needed.
‘I should look for one.’
This 500 million seemed like it could be used for a blacksmith who would become the first member of his organization.
Ding-!
Just then, a message arrived from the Neverland Guild Master.
-You need a license, Trainer Kang. B-grade or higher. It’s quite difficult work. Most trainers start at D-grade or… they can’t get their license for a long time. I heard it used to be easy, but recently the licensing standards have become quite strict.
“It’s time to get a license.”
The trainer license was a nationally certified qualification officially issued by the government.
As the Guild Master said, in the past you could do training without a license.
But after an incident where an unlicensed trainer caused a young Youth’s death by teaching too intensively, those without licenses became unable to participate in official government-supervised projects.
If guilds make regular contracts with unlicensed trainers, they receive fines along with a penalty of being banned from Tower conquest for the next 5 years.
A guild being unable to conquer the Tower essentially means their lifespan is over.
Of course, Yujun was on an irregular contract and it was a short-term contract, so there was some consideration.
‘To participate in beast training, it’s absolutely essential. Let’s get the license first.’
-And you don’t need to feel burdened about the outside director position.
“And I unintentionally ended up receiving an outside director position too.”
5 million won per month.
There were no other conditions whatsoever.
‘It feels like sponsorship.’
The Neverland Guild Master was sponsoring Yujun because he wanted to maintain a good relationship with him.
‘Not bad.’
From Yujun’s perspective, he also wanted to maintain a good relationship with Neverland, where Yu Je-na and Lee Su-yeon were.
Especially Lee Su-yeon, Yujun was planning to consistently take charge of her training.
‘She has the potential to become an S-grade Awakened.’
Teaching an S-grade Awakened and raising an A-grade Awakened to S-grade were completely different matters.
‘Through Lee Su-yeon, I can achieve additional S-grade Awakened Achievements.’
Since he could earn more points, there was no reason to refuse.
‘On top of that, beast training and license guarantee too.’
Yujun immediately sent a reply.
-I’ll get it right away.
‘I’m gaining too much.’
Yujun left the grateful Neverland and arrived at Sky Guild.
Just one day.
Even though he had only been to Neverland Guild, Yujun’s status had completely changed.
At the Sky Guild entrance.
‘Why is he out here?’
“Trainer Kang!”
Lee Hyeok-jun, the Guild Master of Sky Guild, was outside. He ran toward Yujun with a bright smile.
Lee Hyeok-jun was a skilled Awakened.
As such, his speed running toward Yujun was considerable.
‘Huh?’
Yujun was flustered.
‘Normally I would have been helpless against this.’
From the way he was spreading his arms, it seemed like he was trying to embrace him.
‘I can see it.’
Now he could see it.
Clearly.
“Guild Master.”
The Sky Guild Master welcomed Yujun as if he was about to lift him up in an embrace.
Yujun naturally avoided his hug. The man awkwardly raised his hand and ran it through his own hair.
“What on earth did you do at Neverland! The Neverland Guild Master called personally to express his gratitude! And he said our Suyeon seems like she’ll become an A-rank Awakened soon!”
He smiled brightly and continuously praised Yujun.
“This is truly amazing! Really amazing! Here, drink this first. Guild Master Kim Sin-jun sent this by express delivery.”
What the Guild Master pulled out was a high-grade potion.
He said he received a high-grade potion set by express delivery and told Yujun to drink it all down right away.
“This isn’t just any potion. When you drink it, mana accumulates over the course of a month. You said you haven’t awakened yet, but in my opinion, awakening is just a matter of time.”
Yujun looked at the label on the high-grade potion.
-Evolution-
It was a company famous for potions.
‘I heard it’s hard to buy even if you have money.’
The Neverland Guild Master had sent such a precious item.
“Thank you.”
“He also sent a fruit set.”
He handed Yujun a high-grade strawberry called Snow Blossom.
Crunch.
When Yujun popped the strawberry into his mouth, sweet flavor filled his mouth completely.
“Guild Master Kim Sin-jun used to be quite a generous person. But running Neverland made him quite sensitive. However, his voice sounded pretty good for the first time in a while.”
It felt like he had returned to his old self.
“I solved the problem he was worried about.”
“In just one day?”
“I was lucky.”
“…How could that be just luck!”
“No, I was really lucky.”
Meeting the kind Sky Guild Master and Lee Su-yeon, and being able to go to Neverland itself was luck.
Ring-!
His phone rang again.
“…What’s this?
