Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 44
First perfect scorer in both practical and written exams.
First A-grade license issued.
The graders at the Certification Institute quickly reported this fact.
First, they reported to the Certification Bureau Director.
-Examinee Kang Yu-jun scored perfect marks in both practical and written exams. First license grade evaluation: A.
They made the same report to the Management Bureau.
Not long after submitting the report, a summons from the Certification Bureau Director came immediately.
The written examiner, practical examiner, and grader immediately entered the Certification Bureau Director’s office.
Knock knock-.
Creak-!
The Certification Bureau Director personally opened the door to greet the staff members.
“Please, sit down. Is this really accurate?”
The Certification Bureau Director was a large man with short hair speckled with gray.
His mood had been quite poor lately.
This was because of continuous pressure from the government.
Claiming that institutional safeguards for Trainers were necessary, they had significantly raised the difficulty of the license exam.
As a result, the workload of civil servants at the Certification Institute had increased, and the flow of prospective Trainers visiting the institute had ceased.
“Yes, Director. It’s exactly as we reported. We have a perfect scorer in both practical and written exams.”
“Did you report to the Management Bureau?”
“The report to the Management Bureau is complete.”
“Hmm, the Management Bureau will definitely take interest in this case. It will remain as a good achievement for our Certification Institute, and we’ll certainly get performance bonuses.”
The Certification Bureau Director nodded with a satisfied expression.
That’s why he was curious.
Just who had achieved such overwhelming results with perfect scores in both practical and written exams?
The Certification Bureau Director crossed his arms and asked.
“What kind of person is this? The name sounds familiar. It can’t be the same person I’m thinking of.”
“It’s probably the same person.”
“The person I know is a promising candidate who was expelled, though?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Both the practical and written examiners answered the Certification Bureau Director’s question simultaneously.
“How was it? You all look quite excited.”
Both examiners had very good expressions.
“Explain in detail.”
The two examiners explained the situation in detail.
“Due to the increased exam difficulty, everyone was struggling to solve the problems properly. While multiple choice questions can be guessed, subjective questions require understanding the problem and writing accurate answers. At that time, only examinee Kang Yu-jun was writing down answers. He solved the problems fastest and submitted his answer sheet first.”
Then the practical examiner spoke.
“So basically…”
The practical examiner had a lot to say.
The explanation continued for about 30 minutes.
Though it was a somewhat lengthy explanation, the Certification Bureau Director was also an Awakened. He could quickly understand what the examiner was trying to say.
“You’re saying he corrected the problem with your original… awakening ability right on the spot?”
This was the most shocking part.
“Without even properly showing it to him?”
In practical exams, examiners create physical problems that didn’t originally exist.
These intentionally created physical problems were the test itself.
Since it was a test to evaluate the examinee’s training abilities, it was designed for intuitive assessment.
But he had corrected all those test problems like appetizers, and furthermore solved the examiner’s real problem.
“Yes, he just solved the problem I had.”
“Is that even possible?”
When it came to the question of possibility, this was definitely something he could speak about with certainty.
“It’s impossible. If it were possible, I would have fixed it long ago. I knew what needed to be done.”
This was examiner Lee Ji-hun, who was both an Awakened and a Trainer.
His career as an Awakened alone spanned decades.
This clear weakness that developed during that process hadn’t disappeared despite long training and conditioning.
That’s why he had tried to create strengths to cover this weakness as much as possible.
Until now, he had been covering his weakness with his strengths.
Moreover, he had even changed careers to become a civil servant who wouldn’t have to engage in combat because of that problem.
But…
“I could return to active duty again. Of course, I’d still need more training…”
He had made an Awakened who had retired from active duty and was living as a civil servant dream of returning to active service again.
“…This wasn’t talent that could be confirmed through a license exam!”
The Certification Bureau Director smiled broadly.
“Immediately escort examinee Kang Yu-jun to the VIP Room! He’s an honored guest!”
“Yes!”
“Yes.”
* * *
“Phew.”
The waiting room after the exam.
The examinees who had taken the test this time were sitting and waiting.
No, only a few were actually sitting.
Everyone seemed nervous, either standing or leaning against something while only fiddling with their phones.
In this situation, Yujun entered.
As soon as everyone saw Yujun, they quickly approached him.
The examinees who had taken the test together had witnessed Yujun’s practical and written exams with their own eyes.
“Yujun-ssi, you really did well. The practical exam was no joke!”
“I watched you too. What I was doing was really just child’s play. Thanks to you, I clearly realized I have no aptitude for being a trainer.”
“I became a fan. I thought you just switched careers and came here with a light heart, but that wasn’t it at all!”
“It was no joke!”
Through this exam, all those who had preconceptions about Kang Yu-jun came to see him differently.
Kang Yu-jun hadn’t fled to become a trainer.
There was no bubble or fluff about him.
Rather…
He had found his true talent.
It seemed like the reason he couldn’t shine as an Awakened was because he had an even greater talent elsewhere.
Through this practical and written exam, he had properly shown what true trainer talent really was.
This was why everyone was excited and couldn’t help but talk to Yujun.
Most of the people here were already working as trainers, just without licenses. So they could feel it even more keenly.
“Thank you for the praise.”
Yujun felt quite good about their compliments.
‘It’s been a while since I heard praise like this.’
When he was young, he used to hear such praise every day, but as his life as a prospect dragged on, he hadn’t heard praise for a long time.
‘Back then, I thought it was tiresome.’
He fully realized how truly grateful he should be for this kind of blind praise.
Knock knock-.
Then someone knocked on the waiting room door.
“The exam results are out.”
When the examiner entered, everyone’s expressions hardened.
Gulp-.
Someone’s swallowing sound was heard very loudly.
“I will announce the results.”
The examiner immediately began announcing the results.
Ding-! Ding-!
Messages immediately flew to the phones they were holding.
“The exact scores and feedback have been sent to you by message just now. First, I’ll announce the successful candidates. Examinee number 1, examinee number 3, and examinee number 12.”
3 out of 15 people.
“!”
“I, I made it!”
“Phew…”
“I thought I would fail.”
Among the three successful candidates was naturally Kang Yu-jun.
Examinee number 12, Kang Yu-jun.
Yujun smiled broadly.
Then he immediately checked his grade.
“…?”
He thought it would be close but still expected to get B-grade.
But it wasn’t B-grade.
“…A-grade?”
He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but it was definitely A-grade.
“Examinee Kang Yu-jun.”
The examiner called Yujun last.
“Examinee Kang Yu-jun, please come to the VIP Room.”
“…?”
“What the…?”
Everyone started murmuring.
The VIP Room right after passing? Just what kind of score did he get to warrant that?
* * *
“Congratulations, examinee Kang Yu-jun.”
Inside the VIP Room of the Certification Institute.
Originally, trainer certification announcements were made in the waiting room of the Certification Institute.
If you waited there, an examiner would notify you of your pass with a smart pad and tell you your grade.
However, Yujun was special.
“This VIP room is not originally a place open to examinees. It’s a place to receive distinguished guests who visit the Certification Institute.”
This time, Yujun had broken all records in the Certification Institute’s history.
It was only natural to welcome such talent in the VIP Room.
“This is the first time in the history of the Certification Institute that we’ve had a trainer with such scores! That’s why I brought you here. Examinee Kang Yu-jun has now become a precious person to our Certification Institute. I’m late with introductions. I am Kim Il-gyeok, the Certification Bureau Director.”
Certification Bureau Director Kim Il-gyeok smiled warmly.
Yujun felt admiration as he sensed the aura emanating from Kim Il-gyeok.
‘S-rank.’
The Certification Bureau Director’s rank was S-rank.
Though he wasn’t a combat-type Awakened, the aura he emanated was considerably refined.
Moreover, there was much more blue light than cracks.
‘I don’t see anything to fix.’
Rather than not seeing anything to fix, it would be more accurate to say it was hidden.
‘At S-rank level, he can easily hide it.’
Besides, he needed to see proper abilities or movements to assess easily.
‘Still, I’ve come quite far.’
Now he could judge S-rank to some degree.
It might not be perfect, but finding clues had become much easier.
At Yujun’s cold, analytical gaze, the corners of the Certification Bureau Director’s mouth rose.
As reported, Kang Yu-jun was indeed the same Kang Yu-jun he knew.
But his eyes were completely different from back then.
“As Trainer Kang Yu-jun knows, policies regarding trainers have been considerably strengthened recently. There have been many accidents. Since we’re a place that produces nationally certified official trainers, we’ve been struggling quite a bit with difficulty adjustment.”
As the title changed from examinee to trainer, Yujun felt quite good.
Outside, many people called Yujun trainer out of courtesy. But now he was a legitimate nationally certified trainer.
“But since Trainer Kang Yu-jun has proudly achieved A-rank, we now have something to say. The difficulty adjustment is well done, and if skills support it, anyone can get a license. At this difficulty level, it’s normal for trainers not to get many licenses!”
The Certification Bureau Director was quite pleased.
Now, even if the higher-ups pressured him, he could handle it all with Kang Yu-jun.
Wasn’t someone like Kang Yu-jun exactly the talent they wanted?
If you have skills, anyone can get a license.
Getting a license safely means fewer accidents.
Exactly the result the higher-ups would love came out.
“First, I’ll prepare the A-rank promotion commemorative money right away!”
“How much is it?”
“100 million won.”
Yujun smiled at the Certification Bureau Director’s words.
‘Fortunate in many ways. I thought it would be barely B-rank.’
He could achieve B-rank, but he never thought A-rank would come out.
But to think A-rank would actually come out.
‘Thanks to that, I got 100 million won.’
500 million won contract money from Neverland plus an additional 100 million won.
‘Among A-rank Awakened benefits, there’s probably tax benefits too.’
Then even if he earned large amounts of money, he could pay less tax in the first year.
‘Good.’
Now he had met the minimum conditions to challenge monster training too.
“Then may I leave now?”
When Yujun reacted too calmly, the Certification Bureau Director was rather flustered.
How could he be so calm after achieving such an incredible record!
“This is tremendous, Trainer Kang Yu-jun. This has never happened before. Perfect practical score, perfect written score. This is something not even one of the S-rank trainers currently working has achieved.”
The few S-rank trainers in South Korea.
Not a single one of them had received A-rank from the start.
“Even Do Kang-myeong, who is currently Master Guild’s exclusive trainer, started as B-rank.”
S-rank trainer Do Kang-myeong.
He too started as B-rank.
“Aren’t there people who worked as S-rank from the beginning?”
“Yes, there are. Those who got special recruitment licenses. But they passed through something else instead of exams. It’s practically the same as not taking exams. No one has ever gotten A as their first rank by taking the official exam like this.”
It was that tremendous an achievement.
However, Yujun didn’t pay much attention to it.
“May I go now?”
Since he had taken the exam, there was no reason to stay here longer.
“Since I got my license, I’m going to go work right away.”
The Certification Bureau Director’s eyes lit up.
To be so calm even after achieving such an incredible result.
Moreover, when he could rest, he was going straight to work.
He was a rare young man.
“I’ll properly arrange job connections for you, Trainer Kang Yu-jun!”
Unintentionally, he had won the Certification Bureau Director’s favor.
Yujun grinned.
“Then perhaps….”
