Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 46
Kim Gyu-cheol blinked his eyes.
How did the situation end up like this…?
After the exam was completely over, Kim Gyu-cheol received his score report.
The result was naturally a failure.
After hearing Yujun’s words, he had completely ruined the practical exam.
Of course, he might have failed anyway due to poor performance on the written test.
But regardless of that reason, he had actually come to tell Kang Yu-jun that it was okay.
Treatment was fine.
It probably couldn’t be cured anyway.
So he wanted to tell him that worrying about someone like himself who was hopeless anyway was a waste of time.
He had tried to politely decline, but somehow ended up making a request to him.
“…”
He became anxious at the sight of him turning away without hesitation. He thought he wasn’t expecting anything, but in fact he was expecting something.
So in the end, he ended up saying the words asking for help.
“Huuuuu…”
Since it had come to this anyway.
“Please take care of me, Yujun-nim.”
Kim Gyu-cheol bowed deeply and made his request.
Kim Gyu-cheol decided not to hesitate anymore.
In fact, there was nothing to hesitate about from the beginning.
He had just been restless because the despair would be too great if he got his hopes up only to be disappointed.
If there was no other way anyway, he had no choice but to believe Yujun’s words that he could fix it. No, he wanted to believe strongly.
“Whatever Yujun-nim’s request is, I don’t mind. If you can just fix this arm, I’ll do anything.”
“Good.”
Shared Training Room near the Certification Center.
Yujun immediately went to an empty shared training room and gestured to Kim Gyu-cheol.
“To start training, I think I need to hear Gyu-cheol’s story first.”
Yujun said that and immediately checked his status window.
‘Even looking at it again, it’s the worst.’
“That arm, how exactly did it end up like that?”
At Yujun’s words, Kim Gyu-cheol let out a sigh.
Then he began his story.
“Since you already know, I’ll speak comfortably. I was born in the Geumgang Kim Family.”
Kim Gyu-cheol, who was born in the Geumgang Kim Family, had received gifted education from a young age.
The Geumgang Kim Family was a clan famous for crafting.
All the blacksmiths from the Geumgang Kim Family were born with powerful abilities.
They were naturally gifted with craftsmanship to the extent that they were worthy of being called elite Awakened, and generally could easily create decent artifacts even before entering elementary school.
Kim Gyu-cheol’s siblings and cousins all showed tremendous talent from a young age.
Even with the tiny hands of young children, they would create artifacts that adult Awakened could use, so their talent was beyond question.
The Elders of the Clan also paid attention to Kim Gyu-cheol, who was the youngest at the time.
However, Kim Gyu-cheol didn’t have much talent.
More precisely, it didn’t work well as if something was completely blocked.
He knew everything in his head, but when he tried to reproduce it, his hands wouldn’t move well.
When he didn’t grow as much as expected, harsh words and pointing fingers began.
The Elders of the Clan.
His cousins.
And even his parents.
Kim Gyu-cheol lived his entire life being compared to others.
“Everyone blamed me. It was natural.
In fact, that wasn’t natural at all.
Kang Yu-jun, who understood that feeling, frowned.
“I wanted to prove myself.”
He wanted to make them smile.
He wanted to be acknowledged by those who had tormented him, blamed him, and criticized him.
So he ended up touching something he shouldn’t have touched.
“I tried to use the Geumgang Furnace that has been passed down through generations in our family. I thought if I made equipment with the Geumgang Furnace, I could turn everything around.”
His hands trembled.
The memory of that time was still vivid.
That time when he had entered the room that only the Elders of the Clan could enter.
“The Geumgang Furnace was there, and I lit the furnace. But it wouldn’t light. No matter what I did, it wouldn’t light, so I just came out.”
And after that, his arm became like this.
“I’m not certain if it was because of the Geumgang Furnace… but it’s certain that my condition worsened after that.”
Kim Gyu-cheol caressed his arm.
“Even when I was young, it was difficult to use my arm properly. I clearly knew it in my head, but when I tried to move my hands, it didn’t work well.”
Kim Gyu-cheol sighed and continued speaking.
“Especially trying to do something using mana didn’t work well.”
Yujun listened to his story and fell deep into thought.
‘This doesn’t seem to be a problem simply caused by that furnace.’
The furnace had only triggered it; the problem seemed to have existed since childhood.
‘It might be an ability so intense that it burns through mana circuits.’
It was such a strong power that his body couldn’t handle it, so he might not have been able to withstand that force since he was young.
‘He was intentionally blocking it.’
However, this Geumgang Furnace had stimulated something and seemed to have pierced right through Kim Gyu-cheol’s body.
“Have you ever properly used your ability?”
“That’s ambiguous.”
Since he had mana, he was definitely in an awakened state.
But he had never properly used his ability.
Kim Gyu-cheol scratched the back of his neck.
“Actually, I don’t know exactly what my ability is.”
Yujun knew what his ability was.
‘Golden Hand.’
The golden hand.
Yet he said he had never been able to use it even once, so the answer was already clear.
‘His body instinctively rejected the Golden Hand.’
Perhaps the Geumgang Furnace had actually released that restriction.
‘If that’s the case…’
It wasn’t a disease or a curse.
Rather, the Geumgang Furnace had helped him.
So he asked Kim Gyu-cheol to confirm.
“Did it hurt at that time?”
“…No, it didn’t hurt at all. No, there was a feeling. A refreshing feeling. That’s why I thought everything might change. I thought I might be able to use my ability properly, or that the power passed down through generations in my family had settled in my body.”
‘This is it.’
Yujun was convinced by those words.
‘There’s no separate illness.’
The problem was becoming simpler and simpler.
‘The problem is simple, but solving it… hmm.’
Kim Gyu-cheol briefly told the story of his life after that.
Eventually he had run away from his family, and although he tried to fix his arm, his arm’s condition only got worse.
“As you mentioned, the other arm is also gradually losing sensation.”
Yujun nodded after hearing the whole story.
Then he patted his shoulder comfortingly.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
He knew well what that feeling was like.
That’s why he comforted him as calmly as possible.
“I thought the Geumgang Kim Family was a renowned family of craftsmen. They don’t recognize a rough gem. So I’ll recognize it for you.”
Gyu-cheol nodded after hearing the whole story.
For a moment, his eyes became moist.
It was the first comfort he had ever heard in his life.
‘This has been an ongoing condition since childhood.’
Yujun examined his body carefully once again.
-The proficiency of your Concentration skill increases!
Then he placed his hand on his right arm and palpated it.
It was the act of slowly flowing mana in to see the reaction.
Something foreign.
He needed to find something strange. He had to figure out exactly what effect the Geumgang Furnace had on Kim Gyu-cheol’s body.
“…!”
Something caught Yujun’s senses.
‘The end part.’
At the end of the completely burned mana circuit, he felt a strange power.
‘This is a low-temperature burn.’
It wasn’t just a problem with the mana circuits.
‘It seems he got an invisible burn from touching that furnace.’
Yujun activated the Training Hint once more.
‘I’ve already used Training Hint on Kim Gyu-cheol.’
That’s why points were needed.
-You can spend 5P to refresh the training hint.
Ding-!
-A training hint has been granted!
-[Extreme frostbite, condition worsening due to abnormal burn status, flame removal, mana circuit reconstruction.]
A new training hint appeared before Yujun’s eyes.
‘First, I’ll eliminate the frostbite.’
Solving that problem itself was simple.
‘I just need to rebuild the burned mana circuits.’
However, rebuilding mana circuits would be difficult even for veteran trainers.
‘Normally, specialized Awakened doctors would need to handle this. But.’
Yujun smiled.
‘I can do it too.’
Shaaaaaaak-.
Yujun drew up his mana.
‘Quite a lot of mana has gathered.’
“…!”
‘I can’t keep going around saying I’m not an Awakened anymore.’
Kim Gyu-cheol showed a surprised expression for a moment.
He had definitely heard that Yujun hadn’t awakened, but this wasn’t the kind of mana someone who hadn’t awakened could emit.
However, Yujun didn’t pay attention to Kim Gyu-cheol’s expression and concentrated.
“Huuuuuu.”
It was time to concentrate as much as possible.
Mana circuit reconstruction was high-difficulty even in the Tower of Infinity, so it was a training method most users didn’t prefer.
In the first place, Awakened who needed this training weren’t even put into divisions.
However, Yujun had included them.
Those with collapsed mana circuits, if properly rebuilt, were often people who displayed tremendous talent.
‘It’s connected to the reason why mana circuits burn out.’
If the mana load is weak compared to powerful abilities, it can’t withstand it and burns out.
‘So thinking in reverse.’
Among those whose mana circuits burned out, there were many Awakened with powerful abilities.
‘Connect them.’
“Please try using your ability. It doesn’t matter if you can’t.”
When you draw up mana to use an ability, the mana load moves.
Then he could examine the burned mana circuits.
‘Confirm the form.’
He needed to confirm how it was originally structured.
Shaaaaaaak-.
He drew up his power.
‘It’s completely crushed.’
Everything had burned out to the point where even traces couldn’t be recognized.
But that was fine.
‘I’ve rebuilt worse than this.’
He hadn’t actually done it before, but he could check things one by one.
‘I can see cracks.’
And he could see a faint blue light seeping out.
The blue light showing advantages was displaying the shape of the mana circuits. Connect this blue light.
Sharak-.
Yujun inserted his mana.
‘First, I’ll remove all the debris.’
Yujun vibrated the mana he had inserted.
Guuuuuuuung-.
Vibrating mana required advanced mana control.
‘But I’ve done this tens of thousands of times in my head. It’s definitely different from the game, but.’
Yujun smiled.
‘Rather.’
Shararararak-.
The mana vibrated even more intensely.
‘It’s easier.’
