Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 56

 

Songdo Report Building.

 

“Grrrrrrrrrr-!”

 

“Kyaaaaaaah-!”

 

“Kim Do-gyun! Do-gyun! Hurry! My arm feels like it’s about to be torn off!”

 

The Report Building had been a battlefield for several days now.

 

Grung-! Grrrung-!

 

Growl-! Grrrowl-!

 

The culprit was none other than the demon beast.

 

It was a notice asking them to tame the tower’s demon beast that no one had been able to tame.

 

If they succeeded in training what no one else had managed, it would certainly become solid credentials.

 

They confidently came to Songdo.

 

“Kyuuuuuuuu-!”

 

And headed to the hospital screaming and bleeding.

 

The trainers and awakened who came as guild units couldn’t help but be horrified.

 

“You’re saying that thing can be trained?”

 

“Trainers are already precious as it is…”

 

In the center of the spacious hall on the 5th floor of the building sat a massive cage.

 

“Grung-!”

 

Clang-! Kwang-!

 

Inside that cage was a demon beast.

 

It was an A-rank demon beast, a Hell Hound.

 

“How on earth are we supposed to train a Hell Hound?”

 

“No one could do it!”

 

“Where would you find a Hell Hound that big?”

 

The demon beast they had to train was called a Hell Hound.

 

Its body was at least twice as large, and its fur was full of black luster.

 

It was an A-rank demonic beast, a hellhound.

 

“But this is difficult.”

 

They had brought it to be trained precisely because it wasn’t an ordinary specimen.

 

“And look at that size! That’s no ordinary hellhound!”

 

“Where would you find such a large hellhound?”

 

“Well, since you came all this way, at least try…”

 

The Management Bureau staff spoke with apologetic faces.

 

“We also have orders from above, so we can’t help it.”

 

“Unless it’s Han Gyu-jin from Dream or Do Kang-myeong from Starlight, absolutely not!”

 

“I know this isn’t why you brought me here.”

 

“This is difficult.”

 

They were famous trainers in South Korea whose names were their business cards.

 

Since it’s not an ordinary creature, they brought it here to train it.

 

Rather, it was difficult because of that.

 

Han Gyu-jin was a trainer who had recently returned from overseas and rapidly risen to prominence, while Do Kang-myeong and Yeon Da-seul were long-established master trainers.

 

And most of South Korea’s top-tier trainers were graduates of those two places.

 

Those two academies were so major that they could be called the starting point for trainers.

 

The management office staff said with apologetic expressions.

 

“No, the accident already happened. They’re not telling us to die, are they?”

 

They were curious about what the reason could be for going to such lengths to train the demon beast.

 

“Why are you doing this? Is it connected to politics?”

 

“Cheongdam?”

 

“Yes, that’s right. They need dozens of S-ranks to hunt the monsters there, but that’s not possible. So they’re trying to find a solution through demon beast training.”

 

“Then training is necessary, but…”

 

The Insect Tower located in Cheongdam was a place that absolutely must not burst.

 

“Huuuuuu.”

 

Do Gang-myeong was running a training school called Heukgang Academy, and Yeon Da-seul was running Yuun Academy.

 

And most of South Korea’s top trainers came from those two places.

 

Most of the other trainers were those who hadn’t graduated from training school, and those who didn’t fall into that category were only former awakeners who had switched to becoming trainers.

 

These two academies were so major that they could be considered the starting point for trainers.

 

Even S-rank trainers Do Gang-myeong and Yeon Da-seul, who are like the directors of that academy, would never be able to train this hellhound.

 

“This is going to cause a major accident.”

 

“No, the accident already happened. You’re not telling us to die, are you?”

 

I was curious about what the reason could possibly be for going to such lengths to train the demon beast.

 

“What’s going on? Are you involved with politicians?”

 

“No, it’s probably because of the tower. They’re saying that one of the towers in the Cheongdam area might explode.”

 

“Cheongdam?”

 

“You don’t mean the Tower of Insects, do you?”

 

“Yes, that’s right. You’d need dozens of S-rank hunters to hunt the monsters there, but that’s not possible. So they’re trying to find a solution through beast training.”

 

“…Hah.”

 

“Then we do need some training.”

 

The Tower of Insects located in the Cheongdam area was a place that must never be breached.

 

“Phew.”

 

“Trainer Kim Gi-cheol.”

 

A-class trainer Kim Ki-cheol.

 

He was the Trainer Team Leader of the Tolerance Guild, ranked 21st.

 

He was a trainer brought in three days ago through connections from the Management Bureau, and one of the division trainers he brought with him, Kim Yong-jun, was severely injured.

 

“What happened to Trainer Kim Yong-jun?”

 

“For now, the torn parts have been sutured and he’s recovering. His life isn’t in danger, but it will take time before he can return.”

 

Grrrrrrrr-!

 

Suddenly, a powerful howling came from inside.

 

It was such an intense howling that it made the building shake.

 

“We have to give up on this. Has the Management Bureau even come to see the site? What on earth made them think this would work…?”

 

Kim Gi-cheol frowned.

 

“That thing can’t be tamed. It’s a being filled with malice. This isn’t training a stray dog.”

 

“…We think so too.”

 

“But the Management Bureau…”

 

“Sigh, I’m leaving for now. There probably won’t be any more trainers coming anyway.”

 

Just then, a Management Bureau employee entered from outside.

 

“Please prepare.”

 

“…Excuse me?”

 

“An additional trainer is… coming?”

 

This terrible situation had already been shared through word of mouth.

 

There shouldn’t be any trainer willing to come in this situation.

 

“A trainer has just arrived!”

 

“…Who?”

 

“Who volunteered?”

 

“It’s Trainer Kang Yu-jun.”

 

* * *

 

“You’ve arrived.”

 

In front of the Songdo Report Building.

 

Neverland Guild Master Kim Sin-jun warmly welcomed Yujun.

 

“Trainer Kang. I’m truly grateful for the large-scale training last time. All the Youth who returned are asking only for Trainer Kang Yu-jun. Moreover, they’ve all improved so much that with just a little more refinement, they could all be promoted to the first team.”

 

Kim Sin-jun spoke with a bright smile.

 

But his expression soon darkened.

 

“But are you really going to do this? I also received contact just before this, but you know that story I mentioned jokingly about having an arm torn off? That’s what happened to the previous trainer.”

 

“That’s unfortunate.”

 

“So…”

 

“If I had arrived sooner, no one would have been hurt.”

 

“…”

 

Kim Sin-jun’s eyes wavered at Yujun’s words.

 

It was literally overwhelming confidence.

 

Given his track record so far, it couldn’t be called arrogance.

 

Seeing him like this made one expect that he might actually be able to train even a demon beast.

 

It was the same during the large-scale training.

 

It wasn’t the level of training that a trainer who had just obtained an A-grade license would attempt.

 

No matter how much he had earned an A-grade license, training 50 people simultaneously?

 

This was thinking on a completely different scale.

 

Moreover, before coming to Songdo, he had received word that Yu Je-na had conquered an uncleared tower.

 

It happened right after receiving Kang Yu-jun’s second training session.

 

So Guild Master Kim Sin-jun’s common sense was bound to clash.

 

Common sense dictated that he should stop Kang Yu-jun even now.

 

He should say that wasn’t confidence but arrogance.

 

But since it didn’t feel that way, it was inevitably ironic.

 

“Let’s go in.”

 

“…Yes.”

 

* * *

 

“Hello. I’m Park Jin-cheol from the Management Bureau!”

 

What greeted Yujun and Guild Master Kim Sin-jun was Manager Park Jin-cheol from the Management Bureau.

 

“First, thank you so much for volunteering. We’re currently working on taming and training a demon beast, but due to continued failures, support from trainers has somewhat decreased.”

 

Of course, failure wasn’t the only reason.

 

However, he didn’t bother mentioning that.

 

It was a fact they all obviously knew.

 

“Do you happen to have training logs from the previous trainers?”

 

“Yes, we do, but…”

 

Manager Park made a troubled expression.

 

“Don’t worry. I’ll train it today and leave.”

 

Yujun gave a definitive answer to reassure him.

 

He was probably reluctant to show it because he was worried that Yujun would run away after seeing the training log.

 

At those words, Manager Park hesitated before handing over a smart pad.

 

“Here it is.”

 

Yujun opened the smart pad and examined the training log.

 

-Hell Hound Training Log.

 

-1. Trainer Kim Won-jun

 

Training Content: Attempted training through mana after subduing the hell hound with artifact chains and collar. The hound broke the artifacts and escaped. Side injury. 12 weeks of treatment required.

 

2. Trainer Kim Yu-seon

 

Training Content: After starving the Hell Hound and draining its stamina as much as possible, attempted training. The Hell Hound burned its own mana to generate power and counterattacked severely. Fortunately suffered only minor injuries, but gave up training due to trauma.

 

3. Trainer Kim Han-su

 

….

 

4. Trainer Kim Yong-jun

 

….

 

….

 

The training log was horrific in itself.

 

Various trainers had made different attempts, and the Hell Hound had crushed all those challenges while attacking the trainers.

 

“The last one….”

 

Kim Sin-jun, who was looking at it together, was horrified.

 

“The arm… was torn off?”

 

“….”

 

Manager Park squeezed his eyes shut.

 

“I’m sorry. I’m also in a position where I receive orders, so I have no choice but to keep bringing trainers.”

 

Manager Park looked at Kang Yu-jun.

 

In fact, even if Kang Yu-jun stormed out of here, Manager Park couldn’t stop him.

 

Several trainers had already stormed off and left in that manner.

 

He was a trainer who had just obtained his license.

 

Although he had obtained an A-grade license, there would be many jobs with easier difficulty than this.

 

It would be much wiser to safely teach Awakened while building his reputation.

 

“Hmm.”

 

However, Yujun continued looking at the smart pad.

 

‘They tried various training methods.’

 

It seemed they had basically structured the training sessions focusing on the demon beasts’ submission.

 

‘This failed for this reason, and that one….’

 

Yujun absorbed all the information about the failed trainers into his mind.

 

‘I’m getting a sense of what direction to take.’

 

The information in his mind began fitting together like puzzle pieces.

 

“Where is it?”

 

“Yes, the exit is this way.”

 

The Management Bureau employee naturally thought Yujun was leaving.

 

“No, not the exit.”

 

Yujun said.

 

“The demon beast, where is it?”

 

* * *

 

At the news that a new trainer, Kang Yu-jun, was coming, Kim Gi-cheol and trainers from other guilds hardened their expressions.

 

“That promising trainer is coming?”

 

Stories about Kang Yu-jun had spread quickly throughout the industry.

 

The fact that he had been the first to obtain an A-grade in the trainer license exam just recently had a very strong impact.

 

It was a level that no one else had reached.

 

There were quite a few trainers who had obtained A-grade licenses, but even those currently called star trainers and top-tier trainers had grown by climbing the ranks from below.

 

But Yujun had broken that formula and written new history.

 

“Such talent needs to be protected a little.”

 

“No, this is good. His shoulders must be raised high right now. He probably applied here because he’s overflowing with confidence. Everyone around him would have tried to dissuade him.”

 

But there weren’t only positive reactions.

 

Yujun’s training had many aspects that were difficult to understand when heard about.

 

Large-scale training, S-grade Awakened training… it was hard to believe he had done such things so soon after switching to being a trainer.

 

This demon beast training was a job posting that had been spread mainly to veteran trainers.

 

It wasn’t a job for Yujun, who had just become a trainer, to handle.

 

Yet the fact that he came anyway was probably because people around him had greatly inflated his ego after obtaining his license.

 

If so, he might need time to objectify himself through this opportunity.

 

“He needs to experience it once. How difficult this industry really is.”

 

Kim Gi-cheol and the other trainers shared the same thought, but still, learning that reality through demon beast training seemed dangerous.

 

“He’ll have fighting spirit. He won’t try to back down.”

 

“Then he’ll pay expensive tuition fees.”

 

If he didn’t want that, he shouldn’t have come here.

 

Grrrrrrr-!

 

Bang-! Bang-!

 

The Hell Hound began shaking its body frantically.

 

Creak-.

 

Then the door opened and the Management Bureau employee entered with Kang Yu-jun.

 

The Neverland Guild Master was also with them.

 

“The new trainer has arrived. This is Trainer Kang Yu-jun.”

 

Yujun lightly greeted the trainers while looking them over.

 

‘I don’t recognize any of the trainers.’

 

However, curious blue lights were spreading uniformly throughout.

 

‘These are things I couldn’t see before.’

 

The gathered trainers displayed blue lights that weren’t visible in the trainers from Sky Guild or Neverland Guild.

 

‘Eyes.’

 

And head.

 

Intense blue light was emanating from these two areas.

 

And simultaneously, cracks ran deep in the same locations.

 

‘And near the heart.’

 

Deep cracks appeared near the heart, which was the core of mana roads.

 

‘Most of them are like this.’

 

They observe with their eyes, make judgments, and plan training sessions.

 

As a result, their entire bodies seemed to be in a constant state of tension, with all mana roads concentrated toward the head.

 

‘Extreme fatigue.’

 

The result created this way causes a vicious cycle.

 

And while examining their bodies, he could also sense their gazes.

 

‘The atmosphere isn’t exactly welcoming.’

 

There are no new trainers here.

 

‘Since I, a newcomer, came to do work that veteran trainers should handle. I must look like my shoulders are reaching sky-high.’

 

He had expected this much.

 

No, it was intentional.

 

‘Suspicion isn’t a bad emotion.’

 

At this point, their suspicion is so powerful that persuasion through words is impossible.

 

‘If I resolve this suspicion through action.’

 

What they suspect is Yujun’s ability.

 

‘It becomes conviction.’

 

If he demonstrates that ability here and dispels their suspicion, that powerful emotion becomes conviction intact.

 

That Trainer Kang Yu-jun’s ability is real.

 

Yujun swept his gaze over them and looked at the massive cage in the hall center.

 

There was a demon beast inside.

 

Shaaaaaaak-.

 

The powerful force it emanated.

 

The moment he saw that power, Yujun couldn’t help but be surprised.

 

“This is…”
