Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 54
Woo Ha-na was flustered.
“Today?”
Grades don’t rise that easily.
While Woo Ha-na’s talent was certain, she was still a C-grade Awakened.
To become a B-grade Awakened, sufficient experience was needed.
“Is that… possible?”
Three months was already a short estimate.
After receiving a C-grade in the Awakened grade evaluation.
On average, the period needed to go from C-grade to B-grade was six months at the fastest, or one year following the standard path.
B-grade was a symbolic grade in many ways.
It was a grade where you could pull your weight anywhere, earn your keep in any regular raid team.
Among South Korea’s Awakened, many people spent decades at C-grade.
Even starting as a talented Youth, rising to B-grade wasn’t easy.
So Woo Ha-na couldn’t help but be flustered by Yujun’s words about achieving B-grade today.
“Yes, today. I think it’s possible.”
“…”
Yujun’s confident words left Woo Ha-na’s mind in confusion.
She knew well how amazing a Trainer Kang Yu-jun was.
Being able to go from a half-baked Youth to a dealer in Sales Team 1 was entirely thanks to Kang Yu-jun’s training.
Then she had to abandon the thought that it was impossible.
Hadn’t he said it from the beginning?
That trust was needed in training. That she had to believe in him for smooth training to be possible.
“Yes! Then I’ll do my absolute best!”
Yujun smiled at Ha-na’s determined appearance.
-Your bond with Awakened Woo Ha-na deepens.
-You gained 10P points.
‘Points are accumulating steadily.’
“Then let’s start right away.”
* * *
Crack-!
Yujun swung his Diamond Staff and continued training without rest.
“Good, you’re doing well. But you need to pay attention to your core. This core is the center.”
“…”
Woo Ha-na was inwardly shocked even while receiving training.
When Woo Ha-na first received training from Yujun.
She had felt something completely different from existing trainers.
A new world.
Problems that had existed until now were corrected. She could understand theory better, and could express all of it with her body.
But that wasn’t the end.
It felt like another level of upgrade from that level.
Crack-!
As Woo Ha-na took her stance, Yujun’s Diamond Staff came flying.
Thwack-. Crack-.
As the Diamond Staff moved, Woo Ha-na’s posture instantly changed to the correct stance.
At the same time, even the internal power was changing.
‘Woo Ha-na has considerable potential.’
Yujun organized his thoughts while correcting Woo Ha-na’s posture.
Right now, he could completely draw out Woo Ha-na’s potential.
“Relax the strength in your body. You need to abandon the feeling of forcefully charging forward with strength. That’s only effective in the early stages.”
That was exactly why the acceleration skill was called the tyrant of the early stages.
‘The more you go into the later stages, the more strength gets involved, so speed doesn’t actually increase.’
If you wanted to become faster, you actually had to relax your strength.
“You must become the wind.”
Yujun formed an image for her.
A single gust of wind.
Wind is light.
At the same time, endlessly fast.
If you wanted to become that wind, you had to relax the strength in your body.
“It’s not the feeling of charging forward.”
Yujun struck her tensed thigh with the Diamond Staff.
Thwack-!
Along with posture correction, Yujun continuously shook Woo Ha-na’s interior.
‘The acceleration skill basically requires speeding up mana circulation.’
In doing so, the mana load would naturally get damaged.
But Yujun stabilized the mana load for her.
He hammered with the Diamond Staff to connect the damaged mana circuits here and there, creating healthy mana loads.
Along with that, Yujun confirmed her hidden characteristic.
-C-grade Awakened Woo Ha-na [Hidden Characteristic: Auto Reflex]
‘Oh.’
Yujun clenched his fist as he saw her hidden trait.
‘It’s a trait that goes perfectly with acceleration.’
Auto Reflection was literally a trait that made the body automatically react when an attack came in.
It literally enabled automatic counterattacks.
‘This doesn’t just reflect attacks, but also magic and status ailments.’
So Woo Ha-na, who learned this skill, could not only serve as the main dealer but also as an excellent vanguard.
‘She can stand at the front and also be the main dealer.’
If Woo Ha-na’s toolkit became more diverse, her influence in Sales Team 1 would inevitably grow.
“Ms. Woo Ha-na.”
“Yes.”
“You’re not the main dealer of Sales Team 1 right now, are you?”
“No, I’m not. The current main dealer is an A-rank Awakener. When I was in Team 3, I was promised the main dealer position, but Team 1 definitely has many excellent Awakened.”
“Then.”
Yujun grinned.
“Let’s secure both the main dealer position and the vanguard position today.”
Crack-!
Yujun consumed points without hesitation.
-Points consumed to awaken trait.
-50P consumed.
-Hidden trait awakened!
‘Trait awakening.’
Shaaaaa-!
Shaak-. Sharararaak-.
Strong power burst forth from Woo Ha-na’s body.
‘Auto Reflection ability is also good for ability optimization.’
Awakened couldn’t always maintain their best condition.
The day’s condition.
Mana consumed while using abilities.
And they were affected by their mental state.
But this Auto Reflection ability literally allowed maintaining the best condition.
‘It depends on how you use it.’
“Try clenching your fist tightly.”
At Yujun’s words, Woo Ha-na clenched her fist.
At the same time, the Diamond Staff moved.
Crack-! Craaack-! Crack-!
“Draw up your ability now. Acceleration. Become the wind!”
-Trait: Auto Reflection activated.
From now on, Woo Ha-na could maintain this optimal state by clenching her fist.
‘I tapped her internally to improve her condition. I’m linking this with Auto Reflection.’
Shaaaaaaaaa-!
“Forward now.”
Following Yujun’s signal, Woo Ha-na dashed forward.
Swoosh-.
She instantly became a streak of wind.
Not even a sound could be heard.
Very quietly.
And stealthily.
“….”
Woo Ha-na, who had gone far away in the blink of an eye, looked back at Yujun.
The acceleration skill consumed considerable mana and required continuous mana circulation, making it a skill that tired one easily.
So after using it once, she had to take deep breaths to catch her breath.
“I’m not out of breath….”
It was the fastest speed she had ever achieved.
Yet… she wasn’t out of breath.
‘This is even better than I thought? I only awakened the hidden trait….’
Yujun was also inwardly amazed.
Despite only awakening the hidden trait, her skill, Super Acceleration, had awakened together with it.
-Awakened Woo Ha-na’s skill has awakened!
‘I didn’t use my points to open it. She opened it herself.’
Yujun smiled at the better-than-expected result.
“From now on, when you clench your fist, your optimal physical condition will be maintained just like now. Ms. Woo Ha-na now has two awakened skills. One is Auto Reflection, the other is Super Acceleration.”
“Super Acceleration….”
The way she had just run like the wind was quite impressive, as Woo Ha-na stared at the route she had taken with a dazed expression.
-Training has been completed!
-Training score 10 / 10
-You have gained points!
-You gained 100P.
-You gain additional points!
-Trainee Woo Ha-na’s grade is rising!
-C -> B
-Ha-na’s grade has increased.
Shaaaaaaak-!
“Now Ms. Woo Ha-na is truly a B-grade. You just need to receive official certification from the Management Bureau.”
It hadn’t even taken a full day.
“It really happened just as you said, Trainer…”
Woo Ha-na had shown tears in front of Yujun before.
But now she was filled with shock.
“Trainer, if you ever plan to start a guild in the future… please definitely call me. I’ll go there and dedicate myself completely. Please.”
‘Another future talent has been added.’
Yujun smiled warmly.
“I won’t forget those words.”
* * *
Neverland Guild.
The Divisive Tower, an unconquered tower.
This was a tower that had remained unconquered for quite a long time.
The reason was simple.
The higher up the tower floors you went, the more severe the monsters’ division became.
Kill one and it becomes two, kill two and they become four.
From the 20th floor and above, it was common to see a single monster divide into hundreds.
“This place really won’t work even if we spend our whole lives on it.”
“Is there any point to this?”
“But the byproducts that the division monsters leave behind are quite profitable. It’s much better to keep it as a cash cow.”
So most guilds had given up on seriously trying to conquer this place.
Anyway, even without risking their lives like that, the division monsters below the 20th floor were well handled by the S-grade and top-tier A-grade members each guild possessed. Plus, the byproducts were excellent too.
“Neverland’s here.”
“Didn’t Neverland do large-scale training recently?”
“Who exactly is that trainer?”
“I heard it’s Kang Yu-jun? But is it really that Kang Yu-jun?”
Everyone murmured and talked about Kang Yu-jun.
Then they looked puzzled when they saw Yu Je-na leading the vanguard.
“She’s been looking good lately.”
“What’s going on exactly?”
“There’s a rumor she received training from that Kang Yu-jun person.”
“He can teach S-grades?”
“She’s lower S-grade. So that’s probably why he could teach her.”
Yu Je-na was lower S-grade, placing her in an ambiguous position among the Awakened active in this Divisive Tower.
Her grade was S-grade, but she didn’t have the destructive power of other S-grades, yet to call her A-grade, her volcanic ability that came out with proper timing was quite powerful.
But since she couldn’t use that powerful ability at will and was also slow, everyone thought Je-na would end up stuck at lower S-grade.
“So they’re raising Lee Su-yeon now. Neverland is.”
“That Lee Su-yeon also has clear limitations. I heard she can’t use her ability at full power?”
“Can’t use it at full power? Then even if her potential is high, doesn’t that make it meaningless?”
If you had A-grade ability but could only use it at C-grade level, that was just C-grade ability.
“Neverland’s in big trouble.”
“The two Awakened they’re pushing are in that state, geez.”
“Tsk, so that’s just acting then?”
Je-na’s appearance of looking good was just image-making, they said.
“Entering now!”
The Divisive Tower had independent sections where you could enter and conquer alone, and shared sections where everyone could conquer together.
All the many people gathered at the Divisive Tower proceeded with conquest in these shared sections.
If you entered the independent sections, the difficulty shot up dramatically, so everyone usually farmed byproducts in reasonably safe places.
As a result, there were many overlapping parts, so like just before, they would see Awakened from other guilds and evaluate those guilds.
“Manager Yu.”
“It’s fine. We just need to show them. Through actions.”
The Neverland Guild members were angry at others’ murmuring.
But Yu Je-na didn’t pay much attention.
Right now, training matters took priority over such talk for her.
Her head was completely filled with Kang Yu-jun’s training.
A body lighter than before.
And new power.
Whooooosh-.
She wanted to quickly try out the newly awakened skill. And she wanted to go back and boast about it.
“Let’s conquer this unconquered tower today and take it back as a gift.”
“Yes!”
“Let’s get things done today!”
Everyone got fired up at Yu Je-na’s words.
The guild members who came along naturally understood it as bringing a gift for the guild, but Yu Je-na was thinking of bringing it as a gift to Kang Yu-jun to show off, not to the guild.
She entered the Tower with an excited heart.
The Awakened from other guilds who entered together didn’t even bother to keep Yu Je-na in check.
They were watching the other S-grade Awakened.
The monster that appears after the first entry was the boss monster of the shared area.
To claim ownership, one had to move fastest and land the first strike.
Then.
Whoosh-.
Flames left an afterimage.
“…Huh?”
Yu Je-na was standing in front of the massive shared area boss monster. Her entire body was wrapped in flames.
“Volcano Gear.”
Flaaaare-.
“Volcano Single Sword.”
The enhanced ability from Volcano Gear exploded with Volcano Single Sword.
Crash-.
Flaaaaaaaaaaaare-!
“Kyaaaaaaak.”
The S-grades from other guilds who arrived late looked at the remains with bewildered expressions.
Yu Je-na slowly turned around.
Then she smiled at the S-grades.
“We’ll be taking it today.”
One strike.
The boss monster fell in one strike.
Thud-!
The Neverland Guild members approached the fallen boss monster. They quickly dismantled, organized, and collected the byproducts.
“The training effects are good. You really need to meet a good Trainer. Right?”
Yu Je-na said while looking at the S-grades from other guilds.
“Ah, you don’t know well, do you.”
