Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 48
‘SS-grade, really.’
Kim Gyu-cheol had never been able to utilize his awakened ability until now.
It was fair to say he had essentially awakened through Yujun’s rehabilitation training.
‘His craftsmanship was certainly admirable.’
But since this was his first creation attempt right after awakening, he naturally thought the skill would be clumsy.
‘Not at all.’
It was an SS-grade training staff that surpassed S-grade.
‘This is insane.’
His first crafted equipment was SS-grade.
Yujun gripped the staff.
‘It fits perfectly in my hand.’
It was a training staff made solely for Yujun.
‘He got it exactly right.’
Grin-.
Yujun nodded and smiled.
Ding-!
-Achievement unlocked!
-Achievement [Into the World of Awakening] unlocked!
-Gained 50P!
At the same time, he achieved an Achievement.
Ding-!
-Achievement unlocked!
-[Breaking the Shell] Achievement unlocked.
-Gained 50P!
It wasn’t just one.
It was two.
He achieved two Achievements simultaneously.
‘100 points.’
Achievement [Into the World of Awakening] was related to using abilities for the first time after awakening.
Although Kim Gyu-cheol was originally an Awakened, this was his first time properly using his ability.
It was essentially no different from going from non-awakened to awakened through Yujun’s training, so it seemed he achieved this Achievement for that reason.
And the next Achievement, [Breaking the Shell], was one you could get when a training subject showed significant growth.
‘This is one I didn’t get even when training Woo Ha-na, Im Seok-jae, and Yu Je-na.’
They had also shown significant growth.
‘They just fell short of the Achievement criteria.’
Among all the Awakened he had trained so far, Kim Gyu-cheol’s growth stood out the most.
Yujun was quite satisfied.
‘Since he made an SS-grade staff, achieving this Achievement is only natural.’
“How is the staff?”
As the creator, he would naturally be curious about the impression.
‘Since it’s his first self-made equipment.’
He probably wanted feedback.
‘He must be looking forward to seeing what reaction he’d get.’
Perhaps wanting to experience that feeling, Kim Gyu-cheol’s eyes sparkled.
Yujun gripped the staff and swung it once.
Swoosh-.
“Hmm.”
A smile immediately appeared.
‘It’s definitely different when I use it.’
It was so overwhelmingly superior that he could throw away all the staffs he’d used until now.
‘This level of skill far exceeds expectations.’
“Excellent, Gyu-cheol.”
Kim Gyu-cheol was quite pleased with that reaction.
“So this is what it’s like. The taste of being a blacksmith.”
From now on, Kim Gyu-cheol could make all the equipment needed for training.
‘Through Kim Gyu-cheol, I can devise more diverse training sessions.’
It wasn’t just about training. He could also aim for greater growth by making equipment suitable for Awakened.
“Then please tell me now, Yujun.”
Yujun had said he would make one request in exchange for fixing Kim Gyu-cheol’s arm.
“What kind of request is it?”
Whether it was something he could do or couldn’t do, he was prepared to grant it.
“I have no intention of joining a guild.”
Yujun spoke with determined eyes.
“I’m thinking of creating my own sect.”
Many Trainers active in Korea belonged to guilds.
‘Though there are quite a few cases of forming sects too.’
Forming sects was much more common abroad.
‘A sect is essential for proper training.’
Having experienced it in the Tower of Infinity, he knew this well.
I know well because I experienced it in the Tower of Infinity.
The trainer needed various forms of assistance for training.
‘A thorough division of labor is necessary.’
You can’t do everything yourself.
“A blacksmith is essential for my division.”
Yujun reached out his hand and said.
“I’ll join.”
Kim Gyu-cheol answered without hesitation.
Kim Gyu-cheol answered without hesitation.
“Yes, it is unpaid.”
“I’ll take the position even if it’s unpaid.”
“Yes, it is unpaid.”
“It’s fine! Please make sure I get into Mr. Yujun’s division. I’ll work hard so that you can truly feel the rewards of having trained me.”
Kim Gyu-cheol thought that this single walking stick would not be enough to repay Kang Yu-jun’s kindness.
If he returned, he would surely receive completely different treatment than before.
He wanted to craft freely.
Moreover, seeing Yujun’s training skills, he was convinced that Yujun would become Korea’s top Trainer.
Seeing the Diamond Furnace, he realized it with certainty. He had inherited the abilities of Kim Gwang-ryeol, the first awakened one of his family.
Surely when I return, I will receive completely different treatment than before.
But Kim Gyu-cheol had no intention of doing so.
He wanted to create freely.
If he joined Yujun’s company, that kind of free production would be possible.
Moreover, judging by Yujun’s training skills, I became convinced that Yujun would become Korea’s top trainer.
If you’re going to work, it’s best to work for a noble family.
In return, he had promised to correct the cause of his condition and make him completely whole.
‘Though I unintentionally ended up properly awakening him too.’
As a result of training Kim Gyu-cheol, Yujun gained a total of 250 points.
‘I got 130 points from teaching Yu Je-na.’
Including all the achievements accomplished, he gained 250 points.
‘Since I trained Kim Gyu-cheol who was in a state close to being non-awakened.’
Kim Gyu-cheol had become a definite Awakened.
An SS-grade staff no less.
‘And the training itself went quite well too.’
Thanks to the training hints, Yujun was able to solve Kim Gyu-cheol’s problems precisely.
Yujun smiled broadly.
‘With this.’
There were plenty of places to invest points.
‘I can raise the level of Awakened Scan.’
And still have 50 points left over.
‘I’ll keep the remaining points.’
If he raised the level of Awakened Scan, next he would be able to raise the level of the Awakened Training System itself.
‘In the Tower of Infinity, upon reaching level 3, you begin climbing the Tower of Infinity in earnest.’
Until then, there are limits even with training.
‘Keep the remaining points.’
Once you level up the Awakener Scan, you can then level up the Awakener Training System itself.
‘In the Tower of Infinity, once you reach level 3, you’ll begin climbing the Tower of Infinity in earnest.’
Until then, there are limits to how much training can help.
Even if he gathered those he had taught to form a division and attempt to climb the Tower of Infinity, he would always get stuck at the same blocking sections.
But reaching Lv.3 changes everything.
‘The subject’s limits change according to my capabilities.’
Depending on how Yujun handled it, he could break through the subject’s limits. He could also intentionally impose limits.
‘That’s what Level 3 is.’
It could be considered quite a symbolic level.
Yujun gripped the Vajra Staff.
Then he swung it around where he stood.
Swoosh—.
‘Nice.’
The grip.
And the sensation felt from the staff.
‘It makes me want to start training someone right away.’
With this Vajra Staff, he could train even S-rank Awakened without being outmatched.
Perhaps even more than that would be possible.
“Gyu-cheol.”
“Please speak casually to me!”
“Gyu-cheol.”
Yujun immediately dropped the formal speech.
Since he was younger than himself anyway, there was no burden in speaking casually.
“Welcome.”
Kim Gyu-cheol officially became the first member of Yujun’s division.
* * *
Yujun decided to immediately contract a detached house suitable for use as a workshop.
‘The Seoul area won’t work.’
The currently available money was 600 million won.
But 100 million was money he didn’t have yet, and he had to solve everything with the 500 million won he had on hand.
So he excluded the Seoul area and quickly proceeded with the workshop contract.
Watching him, Kim Gyu-cheol was flustered.
“You don’t need to go this far for me! I’ll find a shared forge and make equipment to sell. The kindness you’ve shown me, I haven’t repaid it yet. One staff isn’t enough to repay it. I’ll repay this kindness for the rest of my life.”
He had given up on everything.
In that situation, Yujun had given him new hope.
Now he was practically reborn.
So he had to repay this kindness.
Probably wouldn’t be enough even if he repaid it until death.
At that sight, Yujun smiled.
“I know. That’s why I’m saying this.”
‘Anyway, his ability itself is summoning a forge, so it’s fine.’
He just needed a safe space.
It didn’t need to be too expensive a house, just spacious.
‘I can go to the outskirts.’
Since it would be a space used as a forge, there was no need to consider surrounding infrastructure.
Rather, it needed to be a somewhat independent space.
So Yujun decided to purchase a small detached house in the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.
‘Kim Gyu-cheol’s skills were confirmed with the Vajra Staff.’
Kim Gyu-cheol himself seemed unaware, but his ability was overwhelming.
‘This is SS-rank equipment.’
Even if he sold this on the market now, he could get at least 2 billion won.
‘Only I can see the grades.’
Kim Gyu-cheol probably didn’t know his own value well.
“You see, I’m planning to let you repay the kindness sufficiently.”
Yujun grinned.
‘My existing trainees.’
Kim Min-seok, Woo Ha-na, Kim Gyo-jun, Lee Su-yeon.
Yujun receives points according to their growth.
Especially when they grow enough to advance in rank, he can receive higher points.
‘The fastest way is to make equipment that fits them perfectly.’
The remaining 100 million was planned for buying materials.
Having become a certified Trainer with a license, he could now receive essentially the same treatment as an Awakened.
‘I can receive the same treatment without having to take the Awakened verification test.’
Of course, this wasn’t possible just by holding a Trainer license. You had to be at least C-rank or higher.
But since Yujun held an A-rank license, he could receive the same treatment as an Awakened.
Goyang City, Gyeonggi-do.
Yujun purchased a detached house on the outskirts of the city.
“Wow….”
Kim Gyu-cheol was deeply moved to have his own workshop.
“Get it organized. We’ll need to start working right away.”
Yujun smiled.
“I’m counting on you.”
At Yujun’s smile, Kim Gyu-cheol suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
“Please count on me-!”
Since it was northern Gyeonggi Province, it might just be a bit cold. Thinking it was just his imagination, Kim Gyu-cheol shouted loudly.
