Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 39

 

Ding-!

 

-Im Seok-jae has deposited 50,000,000 won!

 

It was a text message saying Im Seok-jae had deposited money.

 

50 million won. It was quite a large sum.

 

-Yujun, I received a bonus today. Could we possibly schedule some training?

 

Ding-!

 

Soon another message arrived.

 

-Trainer Kang! This is Suyeon! I got your number and contacted you. I asked Jenna unnie about it. Could I possibly receive some training?

 

Ding-!

 

As soon as he finished checking that message, another one came.

 

-This is Yu Je-na, Trainer Kang Yu-jun. I hope your return went well? The thing is, I’ve been training all night and regarding training, the power of wind…

 

Im Seok-jae, Lee Su-yeon, Yu Je-na.

 

These were messages from the Awakened that Yujun had trained.

 

All of them desperately wanted Yujun’s training right now.

 

‘Well, this is something.’

 

It was troublesome but also quite pleasant.

 

Especially Im Seok-jae’s frenzied text messages were quite impressive.

 

‘He sent 12 messages by himself?’

 

On top of that, he sent 50 million won.

 

Even though Yujun hadn’t even agreed to do the training yet.

 

‘How much did he like it?’

 

-I can match any date. Really.

 

He even said he would thoroughly accommodate Yujun’s schedule.

 

‘Seok-jae, this guy also has high S-rank potential.’

 

All the Awakened who had contacted him now were people who could rise much higher if only Yujun’s training skills properly supported them.

 

‘Good.’

 

Yujun’s motivation began to surge.

 

“Did you get messages from the Awakened?”

 

“Ah, yes. I’m sorry. Messages suddenly came in.”

 

“No, no. This is when things are at their best.”

 

The Sky Guild Master said with a slight smile.

 

“You’ll have to keep checking your phone from now on. Once you train them once, they all get a taste for it and keep looking for you, you know? Our first team members keep looking for you too. But don’t worry. I’ve firmly blocked them off.”

 

The Sky Guild Master thought now wasn’t the time for Yujun to teach Sky Guild’s first team.

 

“Of course, my heart wants you to look after our first team members.”

 

The Sky Guild Master had received a call from Lee Su-yeon earlier.

 

“What you did for our Suyeon, and coming to our guild to discover Woo Ha-na and Kim Gyo-jun, I’ll never forget it.”

 

Woo Ha-na, who was called up to Sky Guild’s first team, was currently going on regular Tower raids and performing like crazy.

 

“Ha-na became our ace. If it weren’t for you, she would have been released without lasting long. Same goes for Kim Gyo-jun. He hasn’t made it to the first team yet, but he hasn’t missed first place in mock raids on the Youth team.”

 

Stimulated by this, Sky Guild’s Youth members were also training hard every day.

 

Since Yujun came to Sky Guild, Sky Guild had been experiencing its golden age.

 

Although their ranking hadn’t risen significantly externally yet, Yujun had laid the foundation for it.

 

“Our trainers have also been greatly stimulated by you.”

 

It wasn’t just the Awakened.

 

Kim Do-hun, Sky Guild’s Trainer Team Leader, was also working overtime every day researching new methods.

 

“I’m really grateful.”

 

“I’m the one who should be grateful.”

 

Just by hiring Yujun, who had no license or proper experience, Sky Guild had practically done him a favor.

 

“Before my contract ends, I’ll make sure to create a proper breakthrough.”

 

Yujun smiled.

 

* * *

 

Yujun’s top priority was getting his license.

 

‘It’s the minimum requirement to attempt beast training.’

 

-B-rank license or higher. It absolutely must be B-rank or higher. I tried to negotiate as much as possible, but the standards are strict.

 

The Neverland Guild Master repeatedly emphasized this. If he didn’t reach B-rank, he couldn’t even attempt it.

 

Since it was dangerous work, it seemed they had no choice but to be strict about license requirements.

 

‘It’s a matter of life and death.’

 

“I heard becoming a B-rank trainer on the first exam isn’t easy.”

 

The trainer license itself is a difficult national certification to obtain.

 

That’s why most people only worry about passing or failing, not about what grade they’ll get.

 

‘That’s just for ordinary people though.’

 

Yujun already had extensive training experience.

 

And he was overflowing with confidence in his abilities.

 

‘B-grade.’

 

“Let’s do this.”

 

* * *

 

Awakened Person Management Bureau.

 

Under the Management Bureau were several departments, and among them, the national public institution specializing in awakened trainers was the [National Certified Awakened Person Instructor Certification Institute].

 

‘This is the place that issues official licenses and manages awakened trainers.’

 

Each guild gave preferential treatment to licenses from this certification institute, and the nation also provided mandatory education to these individuals.

 

“How may I help you?”

 

A civil servant from the certification institute greeted Yujun.

 

“I’m here to take the certification exam. I’m Kang Yu-jun.”

 

“I’ll verify that for you.”

 

Whirrrr-.

 

In addition to the iris recognition system, a special artifact scanned Kang Yu-jun once over.

 

“You’ve been verified. Kang Yu-jun, prospective trainer who applied for today’s written and practical exams.”

 

Going inside, there were various trainers who had come to take the exam.

 

‘There are hardly any young people.’

 

Yujun looked around at the people.

 

There was a variety, from people who looked to be in their 20s to those who appeared to be in their 50s.

 

Most of them were veteran trainers.

 

‘Many cases of getting licenses late in life.’

 

Yujun used his concentration skill.

 

Shaaaaa-.

 

-Concentration skill is activated!

 

Blue light, and severe cracks.

 

‘Those who retired from being awakened due to injuries often switch to becoming trainers.’

 

Among these people, there seemed to be only a few who had started as trainers from the beginning.

 

‘Trainer exam candidates with awakened backgrounds definitely have merit.’

 

Since training itself is training targeted at awakened individuals.

 

If they’re former awakened, they would have experience receiving training too.

 

Moreover, having gone through countless real battles, they would have things they felt or realized on their own, so they inevitably had many advantages in various ways.

 

Still, Yujun wasn’t anxious.

 

‘That’s all the same anyway.’

 

There are merits, but they’re not decisive.

 

In the end, it was a matter of how to teach awakened individuals.

 

Yujun sat on the long bench in front.

 

The nervous trainer exam candidates momentarily looked at Yujun.

 

At first they had uncertain expressions, but they all showed surprised faces upon seeing that familiar face.

 

“!”

 

“!”

 

At that reaction, Yujun smiled bitterly to himself.

 

‘There’s no way they wouldn’t know.’

 

It would be much stranger not to recognize Promise Guild’s golden youth.

 

In the past, having people recognize him like this was stressful in itself.

 

He was in a position where he couldn’t achieve any results and only heard gossip behind his back.

 

‘Now it’s actually good.’

 

But now it was different.

 

For a trainer, fame was actually a good thing.

 

‘I’ll get a lot of work coming in too.’

 

Yujun greeted the people who recognized him with a relaxed expression.

 

“Let’s do well together.”

 

“Ah, oh my, sorry. Did we stare too much?”

 

He smiled with an embarrassed face.

 

Yujun responded with a smile as if it was fine and waited calmly.

 

How long had he been waiting like that?

 

“Excuse me.”

 

Someone cautiously called out to Yujun.

 

“Hello? Are you here to take the exam alone by any chance?”

 

When Yujun looked to his side, a young man with quite a tall stature and youthful appearance was standing there.

 

‘He looks even younger than me?’

 

He didn’t look like an adult.

 

However, since you basically need to be an adult to take the trainer exam, he probably wasn’t much different in age from Yujun.

 

“Hello. Yes, I came to take the exam alone.”

 

“I also came to take the exam today, but when I got here, everyone seemed to be older. I was wondering if this was a place where you need some experience first, so I was about to leave…”

 

He trailed off awkwardly.

 

Yujun immediately understood what he was trying to say.

 

‘So then he spotted me.’

 

Young trainers weren’t common at this exam site.

 

Only Yujun and the young man in front of him looked to be in their twenties.

 

‘But it seems he doesn’t know me.’

 

That meant he was someone who hadn’t been in the industry for long.

 

‘He seems to be an Awakened though.’

 

Yet he couldn’t feel the characteristic strength of an Awakened.

 

‘Maybe he’s not a combat-type Awakened.’

 

“I’m Kim Gyu-cheol. I also came to take the exam.”

 

“I’m Kang Yu-jun.”

 

“Nice to meet you, Yujun. When I actually got here, everyone seemed like veterans.”

 

Kim Gyu-cheol looked around at the impressive-looking trainers with a slightly dejected and gloomy expression.

 

‘It’s not common indeed.’

 

“Then I spotted someone around my age and got excited, so I came over to talk.”

 

“I see.”

 

“You definitely need to be veteran-level to get a trainer license. I came to take the exam anyway, but… I’m not sure if I can pass. Still, it’s reassuring to have someone my age here! You also came to take the exam for experience, right Yujun?”

 

“Yes, I came to take the exam for experience.”

 

Of course, he planned to gain deep experience.

 

“I knew it was right to come for experience! Please take care of me!”

 

He said with a bright smile.

 

Shaaaaak-.

 

Yujun was naturally using his concentration skill.

 

‘Something’s strange.’

 

Though he thought he wasn’t an Awakened, tremendous blue light was emanating from his arms.

 

To be precise, it was both arms.

 

‘But…’

 

There were frighteningly severe cracks in his arms.

 

‘One arm has extremely severe cracks?’

 

It wasn’t just severe.

 

Red light was dripping down like blood, making it frightening to look at.

 

“Sorry, but doesn’t your right arm hurt?”

 

Suddenly he touched his right arm.

 

Awkwardly.

 

It looked like he was trying to hide his right arm.

 

“There is… a bit of a problem. But it’s okay. I’m going to be a trainer. Trainers can do their job with one arm.”

 

Whoosh-.

 

Suddenly he felt heat from that arm.

 

It was very subtle heat.

 

However, since Yujun had just experienced the flames of S-rank Awakened Volcano Yu Je-na, he couldn’t miss it.

 

“Everyone, please pay attention!”

 

Just as he was about to concentrate more, a certification center administrator came out and raised his hand.

 

“Thank you for waiting. We’ll start the exam right away! First.”

 

Kim Gyu-cheol hurriedly left his spot.

 

Yujun glanced at him briefly before turning his attention away.

 

Right now, the trainer license exam was the priority.

 

“We’ll check the roster.”

 

The administrator who confirmed today’s examinee list called the examinees inside.

 

“Today’s examinees, please come inside. We’ll start the exam right away.”

 

It was the beginning of the full-scale exam.

 

* * *

 

The first test was a written exam.

 

“We’ll start with the written test.”

Everyone showed tense expressions at the administrator’s words.

‘I heard the license exam is difficult because of this written test.’

 

Trainers who came from Awakened backgrounds tend to pursue training in the realm of intuition.

 

As a result, many of them found such theory difficult.

 

But this didn’t apply to Yujun.

 

‘I didn’t have that intuition.’

 

He had tried to somehow fill what he lacked with theory.

 

That’s why countless theories were stirring in Yujun’s mind.

 

“Now then.”

 

The test papers were distributed and the exam began immediately.

 

“Let’s begin.”

 

A Trainer’s basic competency is understanding the Awakened.

 

The license exam consisted of practical and written tests, with the written portion covering theoretical subjects.

 

-Mana Mechanics

 

-Biological Response Studies

 

-Awakened Psychology

 

‘Mana Mechanics, Biological Response Studies, and Awakened Psychology.’

 

The three main subjects that made up the exam brought a smile to Yujun’s face.

 

‘This is already in my head. It’s actually so familiar that I’m even glad to see it.’

 

How much had Yujun studied when he was at the Promise Guild.

 

‘Since I couldn’t awaken.’

 

To somehow achieve awakening, he had learned and mastered any theory without discrimination.

 

‘I especially studied a lot of Awakened Psychology.’

 

“Hmmmm.”

 

While everyone else was just groaning and staring intently at their test papers.

 

Scratch-scratch-scratch-scratch-.

 

Only Yujun was rapidly writing down answers.
