Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 66

 

One Shot Guild Training Ground.

 

This training ground was an incredibly large-scale facility.

 

When Guild Master Lee An-guk was active as an Awakened, monsters from the Tower called Golden Bugs appeared quite frequently, and Lee An-guk discovered those Golden Bugs early in their emergence period and made tremendous money.

 

Moreover, since Lee An-guk’s father and grandfather were also former Awakened, he was able to establish his guild without any financial worries.

 

As such, the scale of One Shot Guild’s training ground was enormous.

 

Swoosh-!

 

Swoooosh-!

 

There were many unique equipment pieces for ranged Awakened, and VR machines capable of various training sessions centered on their convenience were also installed.

 

Yujun, who entered the training ground, was amazed by its scale.

 

‘Oh, this is.’

 

“An artifact that creates artificial wind.”

 

There were quite many targets in the distance, and artifacts were embedded in the floor, walls, and ceiling.

 

They were all artifacts that created artificial wind.

 

‘A method for attacking accurately in any situation.’

 

Over 80 percent of One Shot Guild were archers.

 

Some used bows with bow artifacts, while others used bows and arrows made of mana through their abilities.

 

Or there were those who shot arrows and such from long range using magic.

 

‘Just how much money must this have cost.’

 

However, from what he heard while coming to the training ground, even One Shot, which never thought their funds would dry up, was running out of money.

 

‘They must be feeling urgent.’

 

“You’re Trainer Kang Yu-jun, right?”

 

A woman who was already conducting training recognized Yujun and approached him.

 

‘Seo Yu-ri.’

 

Trainer Seo Yu-ri.

 

Long hair and tall height.

 

Her impression was quite refreshing and straightforward.

 

“Yes, that’s right. I’m Kang Yu-jun.”

 

“Nice to meet you. I’m Seo Yu-ri. I heard about you from the Guild Master. And I just heard additional details.”

 

She showed him a smart pad.

 

Yujun’s proposal was written there exactly as he had suggested.

 

“I was actually going to suggest the same thing. It seems like a good approach.”

 

Seo Yu-ri smiled.

 

“There’s no need to integrate our training methods into one and train together.”

 

“Yes, let’s do that.”

 

Seo Yu-ri quickly scanned Yujun.

 

Being a trainer, her scanning skills were considerable.

 

There was definitely a certain feeling about him.

 

She was quite curious about what kind of training he would do, but at the same time, she thought he seemed too ordinary.

 

His appearance was quite impressive, but that was separate from a trainer’s capabilities.

 

“Please take care of me.”

 

Yujun didn’t engage in further conversation and gave a clean greeting.

 

‘This would be better for Seo Yu-ri too.’

 

Everyone has their own training methods.

 

There was no need to forcibly unify them into one.

 

‘That way I’ll be able to see Seo Yu-ri’s training methods.’

 

During the demon beast training, he couldn’t observe other trainers’ training methods.

 

‘That was disappointing. Trainers like Kim Gi-cheol are quite skilled, and other trainers who came to demon beast training were all veteran-level trainers.’

 

He thought it wouldn’t be bad to observe once, but unfortunately, everyone had already given up on demon beast training, so he couldn’t see them.

 

‘Seo Yu-ri is even higher than them.’

 

A trainer of higher rank than Kim Gi-cheol.

 

She was at a position where she could obtain an S-rank license if she accumulated just a few more achievements.

 

‘Hmm.’

 

Just as Seo Yu-ri had scanned Yujun, Yujun had also instantly scanned Seo Yu-ri.

 

Of course, he only looked at what was visible to his eyes without using Awakened Scan.

 

Shaaaaa-.

 

From her shoulders, an intense red light was visible.

 

It was the most severe red light he had ever seen.

 

‘It’s painful to look at.’

 

A red light so strong it made his eyes ache was consuming her.

 

Of course, other areas had quite intense blue light.

 

‘Eyes and head.’

 

The eyes and head, which were trainers’ strengths, definitely had blue light surrounding them.

 

‘Wait, looking closely, her shoulders don’t only have red light.’

 

Along with the red light, there was a very deep crack.

 

‘The worst physical condition.’

 

The crack that started from the shoulder area extended all the way to the lungs.

 

‘And the crack near the lungs is deep too.’

 

It was the deepest crack among all the cracks Yujun had seen so far.

 

The crack was so deep that just looking at it made his shoulders tremble.

 

‘It’s a crack that seems like it would suck you in.’

 

Since becoming a Trainer, Yujun had trained various Awakened individuals.

 

Recently, he had even trained other Trainers.

 

‘But I’m not sure if that can even be trained.’

 

He couldn’t even tell if it was at a level where training was possible in the first place.

 

However, it also stimulated Yujun’s competitive spirit.

 

‘Whether it can be fixed or not, you only know by trying.’

 

Given his recent experience, Yujun was quite interested in training Trainers as well.

 

The points he gained from it were quite substantial.

 

‘And since it’s something that hasn’t existed before.’

 

It wouldn’t be bad for Yujun to delve into it.

 

“Then how should we handle splitting them in half?”

 

At Seo Yu-ri’s question, a voice came from behind.

 

“I’ll divide them for you.”

 

The Guild Master of One Shot came out from behind.

 

“And I’d like to continue with the explanation I couldn’t give earlier.”

 

“I was just about to ask about that.”

 

The One-Shot Guild Master had his secretary distribute a list to the two Trainers.

 

Hong Jun-yong’s name wasn’t on the list.

 

“Department Head Hong Jun-yong went on a Regular Raid and will return in a few days. When he returns, you two Trainers can discuss with Department Head Hong Jun-yong and proceed with the training.”

 

The One-Shot Guild Master quickly gathered the Awakened who were currently remaining in the guild.

 

“Our total personnel is 80. 10 are out on Regular Raids, and 70 are currently on standby.”

 

A total of 70 people.

 

All of One Shot’s Awakened, excluding those who went on raids, had gathered.

 

“These 70 include the Youth.”

 

All the Awakened, including the Youth, lined up in One Shot’s Training Ground and were divided between Seo Yu-ri and Yujun according to the list.

 

Then the Guild Master’s explanation continued.

 

“I’ve divided them into 35 each. I didn’t set any particular criteria and just divided 35 by name order.”

 

Yujun began examining the Awakened standing in front of him.

 

Shaaaaaaak-.

 

Crack-!

 

Red lightning flashed in Yujun’s eyes.

 

‘The experience of large-scale training was worthwhile.’

 

Information about all 35 people began flowing in simultaneously.

 

Blue light, red light, cracks.

 

Shaaaaaaaaaaak-!

 

He could see all the strengths and weaknesses each Awakened possessed, as well as their current problems.

 

‘I’ll need to scan them to know for sure, but.’

 

At first glance, there didn’t seem to be any urgent problems with them.

 

‘It’s not urgent enough to hastily call for a Trainer.’

 

The Youth were still incomplete, so they would have many lacking areas and needed training right away.

 

But among the first-string Awakened, many looked perfectly fine for raiding immediately.

 

‘Most of them are A-rank Awakeners.’

 

Even the Awakened who could be classified as B-rank or C-rank had quite well-conditioned bodies.

 

So why did they urgently seek a Trainer?

 

“Is there perhaps a major problem?”

 

At Yujun’s question, everyone’s attention focused on him.

 

Especially Guild Master Lee An-guk raised his eyebrows slightly.

 

He had just looked at the Awakened, but had he already figured out that there were no major problems?

 

That couldn’t be right.

 

He suppressed that doubt for now and opened his mouth.

 

“I deliberately didn’t mention this during our earlier interview.”

 

Calling a Trainer meant that the guild’s Awakened needed training.

 

“As you know, our guild is centered around ranged Awakened.”

 

Because of this, the One-Shot Guild took a different form from regular guilds in regular raids.

 

“Instantaneous destructive power. We’ve achieved results so far with this destructive power alone. As you know, ranged Awakened have powerful destructive force in each shot.”

 

Long-range sniping.

 

The ability to safely eliminate enemies from a distance was the great advantage of ranged Awakened.

 

“At first, it was very good. We approached regular raids focusing on destructive power, and we pierced through and dealt with all enemies before they could even approach.”

 

Since they weren’t attacked, there was almost no chance of taking damage.

 

But problems arose.

 

“As we climbed floors, monsters that couldn’t be killed in one shot started appearing. Of course, we expected that much.”

 

The monsters became stronger with each floor they conquered.

 

That was fine.

 

If the monsters became stronger, they just needed to grow stronger too.

 

But there was a problem with that simple truth.

 

“Our guild members’ destructive power is no longer increasing. Our growth rate has significantly slowed down.”

 

Slowed growth rate.

 

The Guild Master tried to overcome his guild members’ limitations through trainers.

 

He had them train mana and tried to awaken new skills, and even purchased artifacts to compensate for their shortcomings.

 

“Naturally, we also fed them many potions. Potions made by Evolution. Besides that, we’ve received various training… and as a regular raid team composed of ranged Awakened, we’ve developed and tried many special positions.”

 

Despite all that, their destructive power didn’t increase further.

 

As a result, conquering higher floors became a distant goal.

 

Consequently, One Shot had to gradually give back the benefits they had previously gained.

 

Naturally, all guild Awakened encounter walls.

 

It was natural for growth rates to slow down.

 

But ordinary guilds could overcome this through combinations.

 

However, it was difficult to overcome with only ranged Awakened composition.

 

The Guild Master sighed.

 

He didn’t want to admit it.

 

“I know the easy way. Give up our identity. Stop operating centered around ranged Awakened and rebuild the guild composition.”

 

The current guild was full of ranged Awakened.

 

Release or transfer existing Awakened, receive transfer fees, and recruit new Awakened.

 

With that money, they could recruit Awakened from various fields like close-range and support instead of ranged, and rebuild a regular raid team that could be competitive.

 

But he didn’t want to do that.

 

“I can’t abandon my children.”

 

The Awakened looked at the Guild Master.

 

“Guild Master…”

 

“I didn’t know you thought that way…”

 

‘He has considerable loyalty.’

 

But it was also inefficient.

 

As the Guild Master said, that would be the easy way and the most efficient method.

 

‘There’s no need to insist on making a team composed only of ranged Awakened.’

 

“This is exactly our problem. We want to conquer more floors without abandoning our biggest weakness, our identity as a team composed of ranged Awakened.”

 

It was almost an unreasonable request.

 

If it were easy, other guilds wouldn’t bother trying to rebuild either.

 

Seo Yu-ri frowned at those words.

 

“Hmm.”

 

This case needed to be viewed quite coldly.

 

“Before Trainer Kang arrived, I checked the condition of the guild members and conducted light training.”

 

Thanks to arriving before Kang Yu-jun, Seo Yu-ri was able to check the condition of the guild members in the training ground.

 

“As Trainer Kang said, there were no major problems. Of course, it’s not like there were no problems at all.”

 

The characteristic problems of ranged Awakened still remained, and training them to increase their combat power was entirely possible.

 

But what the Guild Master wanted wasn’t just that level.

 

“Since you seem to already know, I’ll tell you directly. If you want to climb higher, you need to recruit close-range Awakened and support Awakened.”

 

This was the limitation of guilds composed only of ranged Awakened, or rather, only a single type of Awakened.

 

“Just putting out the immediate fire won’t solve everything. You’ll continue regular raids, right? Then as you climb floors, you can’t focus only on attacking. You need close-range Awakened who can block enemy attacks and create timing.”

 

She spoke emphatically.

 

“As you all know, I’m also from a ranged Awakened background. Though I’m retired now. I also desperately want to create a romantic party composed only of ranged Awakened. So I can tell you more definitively. It’s difficult to conquer uncleared towers with a party composed only of ranged Awakened.”

 

It’s difficult to climb high.

 

At those words, the Guild Master rubbed his face.

 

Yujun was quietly listening to the conversation.

 

‘There’s nothing wrong with Seo Yu-ri’s words.’

 

“Guild Master, then let me confirm again. The training request is to conduct regular raids with only the ranged Awakened here. Without rebuilding. Is that correct?”

 

At Seo Yu-ri’s question, the Guild Master nodded with difficulty.

 

“…Yes.”

 

“That’s impossible. I can definitely ensure the growth of the guild members. Even now, I can see it clearly and immediately create sessions on how to train them in my head. But I cannot reach the level that the Guild Master desires.”

 

“…”

 

The Guild Master rubbed his face.

 

He knew it too.

 

That his demand was close to being unreasonable.

 

“Actually, I thought that was just our greed. Then please take care of our guild members’ training. I’ll proceed with the rebuilding separately.”

 

Having heard the firm statement from a Trainer who was formerly a ranged-type Awakened, he had no choice but to accept it.

 

Rather, hearing those words seemed to make him feel a little relieved.

 

“Do you have the same… opinion?”

 

The Guild Master turned his head toward Yujun for confirmation and asked.

 

Yujun remained silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

 

The expressions of the Awakened who had heard Seo Yu-ri’s words had hardened.

 

In fact, what she said was correct.

 

The limits were clear, after all.

 

Everyone thought Yujun would say the same thing as Seo Yu-ri.

 

But what came out of Yujun’s mouth was the complete opposite.

 

“I can do it.”
