Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 65
“…Kang Yu-jun?”
“Huh? That Trainer Kang Yu-jun?”
At the mention of Kang Yu-jun, everyone’s faces brightened.
“That’s the trainer who did the large-scale training!”
“I heard through the grapevine, you know S-rank Yu Je-na? That S-rank gatekeeper.”
It was Kang Yu-jun who trained Volcano’s Yu Je-na and raised her to S-rank mid-tier.
“Plus, I heard he also carried out a secret commission from the Management Bureau.”
“Wow, it seems like the Management Bureau is really going to support us properly!”
“But does this mean Trainer Kang Yu-jun and Trainer Seo Yu-ri are coming at the same time?”
Two A-rank trainers coming at the same time.
For the guild members, this couldn’t help but be quite joyful news.
However, the Guild Master made a slightly troubled expression.
“If the two of them come together, there will definitely be conflicts.”
Moreover, both of them would be thinking they’re coming to this One-Shot Guild alone.
“We can just explain it well to them!”
“What’s important is that two good trainers are coming!”
Since it wasn’t wrong, the Guild Master pressed his temples firmly and smiled.
“Right, let’s prepare for now!”
They needed to prepare to welcome the two trainers.
* * *
Trainer Seo Yu-ri.
She originally had no intention of switching to being a trainer.
While receiving training to solve her injury problems, she judged that rehabilitation left to trainers would be difficult.
It was a case where she learned training herself and proceeded with it, only to realize she had a new talent.
Thanks to this, she achieved great success with her new talent, but at the same time became certain that she could never return as an Awakened.
It wasn’t something that could be solved simply by rehabilitation alone.
“I did well to retire.”
Seo Yu-ri stood in front of the One-Shot Guild Building.
One-Shot Guild, standing tall in Itaewon, was the only guild among Itaewon’s five guilds filled entirely with ranged-type Awakened.
“Team Leader Seo, here’s the roster of One-Shot Guild members. This looks like it’s going to be quite challenging training.”
The one who handed the roster to Seo Yu-ri was a manager who assisted her.
Like herself, she traveled with two people: a manager who was also a former Awakened and a director who handled miscellaneous tasks.
Since she was the only trainer, it was modest to call it a division, but it was exactly the personnel composition needed, so she was satisfied with the setup.
Seo Yu-ri frowned slightly after checking the roster.
“The key is here, S-rank Awakened Hong Jun-yong.”
“Yes, that’s right. He seems like he’ll be the most difficult Awakened to train.”
“I’ve seen him a few times during my active days. Even then he seemed quite difficult, and I heard he was giving people headaches due to various shortcomings.”
Seo Yu-ri had retired at the threshold of top-tier A-rank.
Since she had aggressively tackled various Towers wanting to reach S-rank, she was acquainted with Hong Jun-yong.
The Hong Jun-yong she met back then was quite a sensitive person.
If he hadn’t been an S-rank Awakened, it wouldn’t have been inappropriate to call him a personality disorder case.
He was the type to mercilessly criticize anyone who rubbed him the wrong way, so Awakened from other guilds didn’t particularly like him.
“Hmm.”
-S-rank Awakened, Hong Jun-yong: Unknown pain when using abilities. Unknown mana load abnormality
Characteristics: Extremely sensitive personality. Has a history of intense conflicts with trainers.
Unknown pain and mana load abnormality.
It even stated that the cause of the mana load abnormality was unknown.
“Both causes are unknown?”
“Yes, that’s correct. And while it’s not written here, I was told there’s also sensory deviation.”
“…Sensory deviation?”
Seo Yu-ri frowned.
“There are only shortcomings that make training impossible. Plus this characteristic here. I know about this because I’ve heard a lot about it. The opinion about Awakened Hong Jun-yong in the trainer community is quite unfavorable.”
S-rank Awakened often carried various problems along with their powerful abilities.
Especially these problems were usually mental issues in most cases.
However, there were definitely cases that weren’t mental problems, and trainers needed to clearly explain their judgment on these issues.
“They probably judged that several of those problems were mental issues.”
The problem you’re experiencing is not a training issue.
It’s a mental problem.
“He probably got angry about that.”
When told you have a big problem, you naturally can’t help but feel bad.
“He might not want to respect the trainer’s judgment either.”
“The backlash was probably severe from there.”
“Mmm.”
Seo Yu-ri ran her hand through her hair.
“That’s what we need to focus on, but it won’t be easy.”
That’s why he needed to make a definitive diagnosis in this training.
Whether it was truly a mental problem, or a physical problem that could be fixed through training.
“This is interesting. There’s a reason everyone ran away. I can see why they wouldn’t want to take this on, really.”
When Seo Yu-ri said she would take this case, everyone tried to stop her.
-Don’t go there! You’ll really regret it?
-Why would you go there just to get cursed at? There’s nothing good that comes from that place even if the training succeeds.
-Ah, well, you could at least use it as proper experience. That Hong Jun-yong is someone the industry avoids to the point of practically burying him.
-Hong Jun-yong? You can’t fix that. The mental problem is the issue. But he absolutely refuses to acknowledge it. He says absolutely not. He’d rather die than admit it. Then why does he call for trainers?
They were all people who had been badly burned by Hong Jun-yong.
-Since you’re from a ranged-type Awakened background, I know you teach well.
-You understand well that realm of sensation that we can’t handle.
-But still, I’m against it.
She was a trainer who also taught ranged-types well. Even so, the reason other trainers tried to stop her was because of this Hong Jun-yong’s existence.
“If I train the Wind Archer, I should be able to step up to S-rank.”
But that’s exactly why she thought she needed to take it on even more.
To become S-rank, she had to take on and solve what everyone else avoided.
“There’s no meaning if trainers pick and choose their training cases.”
Ring-!
Just then, Seo Yu-ri’s manager’s phone rang.
“Trainer Seo, we received additional contact.”
“What is it? Don’t tell me Awakened Hong Jun-yong refused the training? I’m worried since he has a track record.”
“No. Um, one more new trainer is coming.”
“One more?”
Seo Yu-ri’s eyebrow twitched slightly.
“Here?”
“Yes. They said it’s a trainer connected through the Management Bureau.”
“Through the Management Bureau?”
Who on earth would come here?
She had made a big decision to come here herself.
She had come here after making a big decision.
Moreover, wasn’t this a place where Hong Jun-yong’s bad reputation was spread all over? Any decent trainer wouldn’t even want to come near.
Unless it was a clueless rookie trainer, they would absolutely never take it on.
But the Management Bureau wouldn’t have assigned a rookie trainer.
Then who on earth was coming?
Her question was quickly answered.
“They said it’s Trainer Kang Yu-jun.”
“Kang Yu-jun?”
For a moment, that name didn’t match with ‘trainer’ in her head.
But it quickly matched afterward.
The trainer who was both a rookie and could be assigned by the Management Bureau was exactly Kang Yu-jun.
He was a trainer with an A-rank license, but still a rookie, wasn’t he?
Whether ranged-type Awakened were difficult or Hong Jun-yong was troublesome probably wasn’t important to him.
“This should get more interesting.”
That Kang Yu-jun was coming here.
She smiled.
“I was curious about what kind of training he pursues. I’ve heard about him a few times recently. A scout I’m close with praised him tremendously.”
It was a story about how he would definitely become a big shot, so watch and see.
“That person doesn’t praise others easily.”
Scouts need to be objective.
So she had been very curious.
“I’m really glad I came.”
She thought it was good that she had responded to this training.
* * *
Itaewon, One-Shot Guild.
Yujun arrived in front of the building with his new training tool, a ball.
“Krung-.”
Getting down from Fen’s back, Yujun immediately made him turn into darkness and seep into his arm.
Then he immediately entered the building.
“How may I help you?”
“I’m Kang Yu-jun.”
“Ah! You’re Trainer Kang! Thank you so much for coming.”
The One-Shot Guild member who greeted Yujun bowed his head deeply.
“The Guild Master is waiting inside right now. But there’s a trainer who arrived before you.”
‘Someone came before me?’
Since this was something he hadn’t heard about, Yujun tilted his head.
“We received word that Trainer Kang Yu-jun would be coming, and at the same time, we got another call saying someone else could come as well.”
The One-Shot Guild member said.
“It seems like this training will likely be conducted by both of you together. Please come this way.”
Following the guidance into the Guild Master’s office, the Guild Master was waiting.
‘There’s no new trainer here.’
It seemed like the discussion had already finished.
“Oh my, you must have had a hard time coming all this way! You’re Trainer Kang Yu-jun, right?”
“Yes. Nice to meet you, I’m Kang Yu-jun.”
Since they probably heard that Yujun was coming alone, the Guild Master started with an apology first.
“First, let me apologize. As you know, it’s been quite some time since our guild operated without a trainer. We kept making requests to the Management Bureau, but it was so hard to find one.”
It was a well-known fact that trainers didn’t prefer ranged-type Awakeners.
“Training isn’t easy, you know. All the trainers found it difficult.”
At Yujun’s words, the Guild Master smiled awkwardly and replied.
“In the midst of all that, I begged and pleaded until one person agreed to come, and then today the Management Bureau contacted us too!”
The Guild Master said this while watching Yujun’s reaction.
He came thinking he’d be the sole trainer, but there’s another new trainer besides himself?
Most trainers would just turn around and leave.
Training schedules could overlap and training methods might not match.
However, Yujun smiled brightly.
“That’s actually better. Don’t worry. I’m not upset about it at all.”
When Yujun approached in a friendly manner, the Guild Master’s expression brightened considerably.
They needed to maintain good relations with the Management Bureau continuously.
But what if the trainer that the Management Bureau worked hard to connect got upset and left?
The Management Bureau might use this incident as an excuse to stop granting One-Shot Guild’s requests.
“Thank you for understanding!”
“Who is the person coming?”
“It’s Trainer Seo Yu-ri.”
‘If it’s Seo Yu-ri, I remember she was an A-rank Awakener…’
Yujun knew that name too.
It seemed she had also switched to being a trainer.
‘An elf archer became a trainer.’
There probably wasn’t a trainer who could teach ranged-type Awakeners better than her.
‘I’ll have to try it to know for sure though.’
Yujun had access to countless information while at the Golden Youth of Promise.
‘I had to find clues for awakening.’
He collected and analyzed information on countless Awakeners.
He memorized everything about how they awakened.
That process probably contributed to being able to reach the highest floors in the Tower of Infinity.
But since he had never properly taught ranged-type Awakeners, he thought this worked out well.
‘Observing Seo Yu-ri’s methods wouldn’t be bad either.’
“Since a trainer who’s a former ranged-type Awakener is coming, the training should be much smoother.”
“Yes, that’s right. So…”
The Guild Master made a troubled face.
With two trainers, naturally the training methods would have to be split in two.
And naturally, from the Guild Master’s perspective, he had no choice but to give more weight to Seo Yu-ri’s side than Yujun’s.
Yujun had no experience teaching ranged-type Awakeners.
Compared to Seo Yu-ri, naturally Seo Yu-ri would have the advantage.
But since both came as trainers, they’d need to discuss training methods, and this part was quite troublesome for the Guild Master too.
“I’ll keep it clean.”
Yujun said.
“Since you need training for the entire guild, we’ll split it in half.”
‘Split it in half and let them see the results.’
There was no need to unify the training methods and train everyone together.
“And the biggest concern is the S-rank Awakener Hong Jun-yong, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct…”
As Yujun said, the guild members could be split in half for training, but the biggest problem was still Hong Jun-yong.
“We can train him simultaneously using both our methods. Since he’s a difficult person, he can choose whichever training he prefers.”
“…Will that be okay?”
This was actually what the Guild Master was worried about.
He was afraid both trainers would run away while trying to teach Hong Jun-yong.
There had been more than a few trainers who fled, fed up with his sensitive personality.
And they didn’t just run away.
Information about Hong Jun-yong would be shared, and it could end up being the catalyst for no trainers wanting to come to One-Shot Guild at all.
“I asked Trainer Seo Yu-ri the same question…”
Seo Yu-ri had said it would be difficult.
“She only said she would do her best.”
She couldn’t give confidence that training would be possible.
That’s why the Guild Master asked. Whether it might be possible.
“I’m in the same situation.”
Yujun also didn’t make rash promises before seeing his opponent.
But his confidence was overflowing.
“But there hasn’t been one so far.”
“Pardon?”
“A training I’ve failed at.”
