Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 45

 

Kang Yu-jun’s license exam quickly became a hot topic.

 

Hunternet.

 

-Guys, I heard the highest score ever came out for the training license this time?

 

-Training license?

 

-I heard that got harder.

 

-It got harder but suddenly the highest score?

 

On Hunternet, which was filled with stories about the Tower, awakening abilities, and discussions about the best ways to build skill trees, Yujun’s story came up once again.

 

-The person who got the highest score is Kang Yu-jun.

 

-Ah, that Kang Yu-jun?

 

-I heard he switched to being a Trainer.

 

-He just took the license exam now?

 

-But what do you mean highest score?

 

-He got A-rank. Perfect scores on both practical and written exams. It’s really unbelievable.

 

-????

 

-A-rank?

 

-Don’t all licenses start at D-rank?

 

Trainers usually started at D-rank when they passed their license exam.

 

They would start as D-rank Trainers and could be promoted to higher ranks through various achievements and exams.

 

But A-rank right from the start?

 

This was absolutely ridiculous.

 

-Is this real?

 

The Awakened on Hunternet were shocked.

 

-No, how is this even possible?

 

-Doesn’t this make no sense?

 

-Was it possible to start at A-rank?

 

-I heard the license exam got incredibly difficult recently.

 

-That’s right. I heard the license exam difficulty increased drastically.

 

-I heard it from my guild too. The government raised the standards for license exams tremendously. Haven’t there been many accidents caused by Trainers recently?

 

Among accidents caused by Trainers, the most dangerous ones involved Youth.

 

Since there was a general trend of each guild raising Youth to develop them into excellent Awakened, Trainers often trained Youth quite extensively.

 

In that process, Trainers who easily obtained licenses would treat Youth however they wanted, causing far too many accidents.

 

The conclusion was that easily obtained licenses were the root of all problems, and the difficulty of license exams had drastically increased starting a few months ago.

 

But to get perfect scores on that exam?

 

-I went to take the Trainer exam and came back. Posted a review.

 

A review was posted on Hunternet.

 

-This exam was really difficult. It was an unbelievable level. I had worked as a Trainer without a license and had lots of experience as an A-rank Awakened, so I naturally thought I’d pass easily…

 

The review content was very detailed.

 

-The written exam was no joke from the start. Among the questions, mana mechanics came up…

 

The Awakened who read the review were shocked.

 

-I only heard that the difficulty increased, but this is the first time I’m seeing such details. Why is the difficulty like this?

 

-Even people who have licenses right now wouldn’t be able to solve this, right?

 

-But this level is appropriate. It’s directly connected to people’s lives.

 

-Wow, this is a proper exam.

 

All the Awakened had no choice but to acknowledge it.

 

This was insane difficulty.

 

-After being completely drained from the written exam, we had a brief rest and then immediately went into the practical exam. And I was completely shocked. The practical was even worse than the written. From what I heard, examiners get penalized if they give out licenses too easily.

 

There was nothing like that before.

 

If you met the right examiner, getting a license was quite easy.

 

-That seems well-made.

 

-Then they’re doing this seriously?

 

-But if they just avoid the penalty…

 

On top of that.

 

-The more accurate the license issuance, the higher the examiners’ performance scores go up. They were all doing it with fire in their eyes.

 

Because of that, countless people failed.

 

-In this exam, only 3 out of 15 people passed. Two of them were D-rank.

 

As a result, the pass rate dropped drastically compared to before.

 

-Wow…

 

-This is crazy.

 

-So he got perfect scores on this kind of exam?

 

And thanks to that, Kang Yu-jun’s perfect scores began to stand out even more.

 

-Where is Trainer Kang Yu-jun, who got the A-rank license, going?

 

-Well, I think he’s just starting.

 

-They’ll probably rush at him like crazy.

 

-If it’s a Trainer who got A-rank on his first exam, everyone would bow and beg him to come.

 

-The signing bonus will probably be huge, right?

 

Especially for top guilds, these were conditions worth drooling over.

 

-I heard Dream’s Han Gyu-jin is showing incredible results right now.

 

-Dream Guild already moved up 2 ranks in the rankings.

 

-Dream Guild also completed the conquest of the 17th floor of the uncleared Tower. After Han Gyu-jin joined, they’re showing incredible results right now.

 

Star trainer Han Gyu-jin, who returned after studying abroad.

 

The Dream Guild he joined was benefiting tremendously from Han Gyu-jin, to the extent that rumors said they had already recouped their massive signing bonus.

 

-What exactly is Han Gyu-jin’s training like…?

 

-They’re keeping it completely confidential and conducting training in secret, so no one knows.

 

-Then…?

 

With the importance of trainers coming to the forefront, Kang Yu-jun, who had obtained an A-grade license, was undoubtedly an incredible commodity.

 

-I’m so curious to see how this will turn out.

 

-But you know what? In this situation, what about the Promise Guild that released him… How are they viewing this situation?

 

* * *

 

News about Kang Yu-jun began appearing in various media outlets.

 

-[Exclusive] Former Promise Youth Kang Yu-jun becomes A-grade trainer upon obtaining license…

 

-First time in history, Kang Yu-jun rises to A-grade trainer. Trainer industry in uproar…

 

-Even S-grade Awakened must now wait in line. Recruitment war breaks out among numerous guilds to recruit A-grade Awakened Kang Yu-jun.

 

Of course, most had sensational headlines.

 

While Yujun’s achievements were certainly remarkable, he had only just become an A-grade trainer.

 

Of course, it was true that guilds were keeping their eyes on him.

 

“Where is Kang Yu-jun affiliated right now?”

 

“Is there anywhere in contract negotiations with him?”

 

“Can we contact him?”

 

He had already caught the attention of scouts through the Woo Ha-na incident.

 

In that situation, having become an A-grade trainer, he was now confirmed as a premium commodity.

 

Kang Yu-jun was the real deal.

 

Not a bubble, but someone who had truly succeeded in transitioning to become a trainer.

 

As that fact spread, each guild was busy contacting Kang Yu-jun through their scouts.

 

And.

 

Promise Guild.

 

“Hmm…”

 

Golden Youth Kang Yu-jun.

 

Promise Guild once had a proud Youth who would shoulder their future.

 

But that Youth had been released not long ago.

 

That same Youth was now filling the news again as an A-grade trainer.

 

“He’s being continuously mentioned on Hunternet as well.”

 

“We’re cross-checking again through our scouts. Based on phone conversations with the Certification Bureau Director and the examiners at the time, there’s nothing exaggerated about Kang Yu-jun… the trainer.”

 

At Promise Guild, Kang Yu-jun had always been the Golden Youth.

 

Even right before his release, he was called Yujun or Mr. Yujun by people within the guild.

 

But now he was Trainer Kang Yu-jun.

 

That title felt quite awkward.

 

The Director of the Promise Guild crossed his arms.

 

“I never thought he’d have talent in that area. It would have been nice if it had shown earlier.”

 

With that level of talent, he could have achieved great success as an Awakened rather than a trainer.

 

Even if they had known in advance, it wouldn’t have changed much.

 

“It’s too regrettable, but…”

 

The director thought it was right to have a beautiful farewell like this.

 

Ring-! Ring-! Ring-!

 

But then the director’s phone rang.

 

This ringtone was a dedicated ringtone.

 

-[Guild Master]

 

It was a contact from the Guild Master of the Promise Guild.

 

-Kang Yu-jun. Request re-recruitment as trainer. Begin immediately.

 

“!”

 

The Guild Master’s order had come down.

 

“This is troublesome…”

 

But since the order had been given, he couldn’t refuse to do it.

 

“We’re recruiting Trainer Kang Yu-jun. Set this as our top priority and arrange a meeting first.”

 

“…Yes!”

 

“Yes! Understood!”

 

The secretaries left and the director immediately headed to the Guild Master’s Office.

 

Guild Master’s Office.

 

Promise Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong was wearing a bright smile.

 

“Director Kim.”

 

“Yes, Guild Master.”

 

“Yujun, can we bring him back?”

 

There was no need for unnecessary words.

 

Regrets about what they had done before were also meaningless.

 

Releasing him hadn’t been a hasty decision.

 

The upper management had deliberated for a very long time, and both he as director and Guild Master Choi Ho-jeong had thought about it extensively.

 

So that matter was already finished.

 

What they were discussing now was re-recruiting the promising candidate they had released as a trainer.

 

Director Kim nodded his head.

 

There’s no point in saying whether it will work or not here and now.

 

If the order has been given.

 

“I’ll restore it.”

 

That’s what needs to be done.

 

* * *

 

Yujun made one request to the Certification Bureau Director regarding job placement.

 

-Of course it’s possible! I’ll let you know as soon as a position opens up!

 

‘Not right now, but.’

 

Later, when he completed his division, it seemed he could actively utilize this job placement system.

 

Someone called out to Yujun as he returned to the Certification Institute waiting room.

 

“Trainer Kang Yu-jun.”

 

It was Kim Gyu-cheol.

 

Just moments ago they had been fellow examinees, but now things were different.

 

Yujun had become an official Trainer.

 

And with overwhelming scores, he had become an unprecedented A-rank Trainer.

 

“Mr. Kim Gyu-cheol, have you thought about what we discussed earlier?”

 

Yujun looked at Kim Gyu-cheol.

 

Kim Gyu-cheol’s expression looked quite unwell.

 

‘That’s probably to be expected.’

 

Looking at that arm, it seemed he had maintained that condition for quite a long time.

 

‘It’s getting worse.’

 

The mana circuits had completely burned out, but that fire wasn’t dormant yet.

 

‘It’s still burning. That will affect his other arm too.’

 

The difficulty was at its highest level.

 

But conversely, that meant the reward could also be great.

 

‘The experience points for the Awakened Training System will increase significantly too.’

 

Moreover, with that level of condition, Kim Gyu-cheol’s abilities were certainly considerable.

 

‘The fire I sensed wasn’t just any ordinary fire.’

 

It wasn’t fire like Kim Min-seok’s ignition or Yu Je-na’s volcanic flames.

 

That was the power to withstand fire.

 

‘He’s probably not just any ordinary blacksmith.’

 

However, Kim Gyu-cheol was still hesitating.

 

‘Rather than not trusting me.’

 

He seemed to distrust people in general.

 

“If it’s too burdensome, you don’t have to do it.”

 

Yujun immediately turned his back with those words.

 

‘Then I’ll have to make him anxious.’

 

“!”

 

When Yujun turned his back without hesitation, Kim Gyu-cheol instinctively reached out his hand.

 

“Please! Could you train me?”

 

Yujun immediately turned back around and smiled.

 

“Shall we?”
