Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 68
“W-wait a moment!”
Lee Dong-seok urgently raised his hand at the flying Geumgang Staff.
Yujun stopped the Geumgang Staff precisely in front of Lee Dong-seok’s hand.
“Don’t you want to become stronger?”
At Yujun’s words, Lee Dong-seok hesitated before answering.
“Yes, yes, that’s right. But…”
“Then trust me and leave it to me. I’ll make you stronger.”
At those words about making him stronger, Lee Dong-seok’s pupils trembled.
Trust me.
Believe and follow me.
However, Lee Dong-seok gritted his teeth.
Those were quite sweet words, but he needed to look at the situation objectively.
Yujun had no experience teaching ranged-type Awakeners.
Not only that, but time was also extremely limited.
“Is that really possible? Won’t we be physically short on time?”
Yujun looked at Lee Dong-seok, then turned to look at each of the other Awakeners one by one, making eye contact.
“The Guild Master gave me a list. A list containing all of your information.”
Right now, Yujun’s mind contained their names and all their information.
“I currently have a rough grasp of information about all of you. All that’s left is to directly check your conditions.”
Among these 35 people, the one with the longest experience was A-rank Awakener Lee Dong-seok.
‘That’s probably why he stepped forward as a representative to speak. Because he’s anxious.’
Yujun looked at him again and checked his condition.
Shaaaaaaak-.
Crackle-.
‘He’s an excellent Awakener.’
It wasn’t that there were no cracks, but the blue light was much stronger.
For ranged-type Awakeners, both their advantages and disadvantages lie in their shoulders.
Sure enough, his shoulders had both blue light and cracks, but perhaps because he had advantages in mana circulation, the intensity of the cracks was relatively weak.
“Then you understand even better, Trainer Kang. We all have different problems.”
The only common point was that they all needed training.
It meant that all 35 people needed to receive training suited to each individual.
If that was the case, the time available for each person would inevitably be limited.
With just one week, it was impossible to train all 35 people.
Even if he switched to individual training and spent the entire week on one person, there was no guarantee of success.
But 35 people?
This wasn’t right.
He couldn’t teach them properly.
“As Trainer Kang knows best, I’ve also received quite a lot of training. Isn’t a week barely enough time even when spent entirely on one person? Of course, there are Awakeners who change dramatically in a single day if they have the right trigger, but we’ve all received as much training as we could and gotten as much feedback as we could.”
Yet nothing had changed.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t worked hard.
They had worked hard, but nothing changed.
“I’ve heard stories about Trainer Kang as well. That you’re an excellent trainer.”
Kang Yu-jun’s skills were beyond doubt.
Word had spread that he had trained S-rank Awakener Yu Je-na and raised her to mid-level S-rank.
Not only that, but he was also on Hunternet.
As such, he had seen various stories about Kang Yu-jun.
Of course, he didn’t know what kind of training methods Kang Yu-jun used.
“But I think this… isn’t right. Therefore, I’m being rude by speaking up.”
That’s why A-rank Awakener Lee Dong-seok decided to make a proposal to Yujun.
“It would be fine if only the guild members with the most potential among those here received training. If we could just conduct proper regular raids among ourselves…”
Not all 35 people needed to receive training.
Anyway, among these 35 people, only a few belonged to the first string.
Training centered around those few would be much more effective.
“We hope the One-Shot Guild will continue to exist.”
Just like the Guild Master had attachment to it, they too had considerable attachment to the guild.
“And the rest are Youths anyway.”
The Youths also knew well that they wouldn’t be of immediate help to the guild.
That’s why they decided to give up this training opportunity.
“We’re fine!”
“We know that even if we receive training, it would be difficult to be of great help to the guild right away!”
“We hope Trainer Kang Yu-jun will focus on the first-string Awakeners!”
‘That initial question about whether I could teach all 35 people. It wasn’t asking about possibility.’
From the beginning, they had asked with the premise that it was impossible.
If it was impossible, then only a promising few would receive training.
“I understand what you’re saying.”
However, Yujun firmly shook his head.
“So I’ll train all 35 of them.”
‘He probably thinks I called for a week to compete with Seo Yu-ri.’
Not at all.
One week was enough.
Rather, spending more time wouldn’t necessarily produce better results.
“It can be done within the time limit.”
Yujun answered with a confident tone and passed by Lee Dong-seok to approach the Awakeners behind him.
Especially, he went to the Youth who looked the weakest among them.
“You must want to pull your own weight.”
“….”
That Youth couldn’t answer and remained silent.
Of course.
More than anyone, he wanted to pull his own weight.
But wasn’t there something that had to take priority over that?
Yet somehow, his mouth wouldn’t open.
If he opened his mouth now, he felt like he would say yes without realizing it.
-Speech Correction is being used!
This was the power of Speech Correction.
It wasn’t simply about making people listen to Yujun’s words. It allowed him to imbue his words with powerful force.
The Youth barely managed to cover his mouth and hold back his true feelings from coming out.
“I’m, I’m fine! I’m okay!”
Yujun smiled faintly.
‘What an admirable mindset.’
That’s why Yujun intended to teach everyone.
The one week wasn’t time he had decided on to have some kind of power struggle with Seo Yu-ri.
‘It’s plenty of time.’
There was no need to drag it out.
‘Besides, the core of the One-Shot Guild training is Hong Jun-yong’s training.’
He needed to prepare for training Hong Jun-yong, the Wind Archer and S-rank Awakener.
So he needed to raise his sense for training ranged-type Awakeners while training these people.
“It’s fine. There’s no need to worry.”
Yujun spoke to the 35 Awakeners gathered in the area.
“I’ll solve the problems you currently have with training tailored to each of your situations. I’ll train every single one of you without exception.”
Then he approached Lee Dong-seok again.
“Do you think there won’t be enough time?”
“…Yes.”
“Then you can check for yourself.”
Yujun smiled.
“Whether there’s really not enough time or not.”
And he said nothing more.
‘Through actions.’
One action was better than a hundred words.
“I’ll start the training right away.”
Yujun immediately asked him.
“Do you use arrows?”
“No, I create guns with mana. It’s not a real gun, but a gun-shaped mana bullet launcher.”
Lee Dong-seok immediately used his ability.
Shaaaaaaak-.
In an instant, a sniper rifle appeared in his hands.
It was a simple-shaped rifle.
‘This is an artifact.’
“My ability is mana bullets. I use this artifact rifle by loading mana bullets into it.”
Lee Dong-seok said.
“The farther the distance from the target, the higher the power becomes.”
-Using Awakener Scan!
-Scanning the status of A-rank Awakener Lee Dong-seok.
-[Lee Dong-seok] Overall Grade B+
-Physical: [B]
-Mental: [B+]
-Stats: [Strength 19/40] [Stamina 15/40] [Agility 27/40]
-Awakened Ability: Mana Bullets
-Potential: Intermediate
-Special Notes: Mana Refraction
His strength and stamina were ordinary, but his agility was quite high.
As for special notes, there was mana refraction, and the moment Yujun saw that phrase, his eyes widened significantly.
‘Mana refraction.’
Instantly, countless pieces of information began activating in Yujun’s mind.
Mana refraction is the most common problem for ranged Awakened.
At the same time, it’s also the most fatal problem.
‘It develops easily. But once it occurs, it’s quite difficult to overcome.’
There are even ranged Awakened who retire because of mana refraction problems.
“So your awakened ability is long-range sniping using mana bullets.”
Lee Dong-seok nodded at Yujun’s words.
“Please show me.”
Lee Dong-seok turned his gun barrel toward a target in the corner of the training ground.
The target had “500 meters” written on it.
‘The distance is 500 meters.’
Lee Dong-seok shot directly at the target 500 meters away.
Swoosh-!
Kwagagagang-!
Powerful destructive force. The target was shattered to pieces.
Just looking at this, you couldn’t see any problems.
However, Yujun’s expression remained the same.
Guuuuung-.
The target was immediately restored by the artifact’s power.
“Next is 1,000 meters.”
Then he gestured coldly.
Lee Dong-seok fired his gun again following Yujun’s words.
Kwagak-!
He clearly shot with the exact same posture as before, but the bullet missed.
“This is it.”
Yujun nodded his head.
“…Yes, that’s right.”
Lee Dong-seok let out a sigh.
“Once it exceeds 1,000 meters, my accuracy drops significantly. My ability, mana bullets, has the characteristic of long-range sniping.”
Lee Dong-seok explained his skill.
Skill: Long-range Sniping.
This long-range sniping was literally a skill where power increased as the distance from the target grew.
‘You could say it’s the most essential skill that ranged Awakened can choose.’
Therefore, they focus on training to gradually extend their range.
“This rifle assists my ability, but…”
-Artifact: Rifle Grade [A]
-Special Notes: Uses mana to assist long-range sniping.
It was a long-range sniping assistance artifact.
“But even so, sniping doesn’t work well. Once it exceeds 500 meters, I can’t hit anything at all.”
Even though he aims the same way and shoots the same way, his accuracy drops significantly.
“I bought a scope too… and kept practicing.”
He also tried changing the amount of mana that goes into the mana bullets.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t fix it.
His accuracy still plummeted beyond 500 meters, and in the end, he could only snipe enemies at close range.
“As you can see… damage drops significantly at close range.”
In reality, this wasn’t sniping.
“It’s no different from just shooting mana.”
Since the damage dealt was no different from simply clumping mana together and throwing it, the power Lee Dong-seok could produce was at a level that couldn’t be considered that of an A-rank Awakener.
“In a state where I’m only A-rank in name… I’m not being helpful in Regular Raids.”
To solve this problem, he had tried using a personal trainer, but nothing changed.
The personal trainer also didn’t know where this problem originated from.
“I was told I needed to adjust the angle, and I was told my practice was insufficient. I was also told my mana purity was low…”
None of them were helpful.
Shaaaak-.
Yujun immediately activated his training hint.
-Training Hint [Be careful of mana refraction! Figure out what the mana refraction is refracting!]
‘That’s it.’
With just this hint, Yujun found the clue to solve Lee Dong-seok’s problem.
“Awakened Lee Dong-seok.”
When Yujun called him, Lee Dong-seok nodded his head.
It would probably take quite a while.
So excluding hopeless Awakened like himself, focusing on those with potential…
“Let’s start training.”
“…What?”
Starting training, he said.
“I’ve finished analyzing. What the cause is, and… how to fix it too.”
Yujun stared intently into his eyes.
‘The mana refraction is in his eyes.’
“Wh-what kind of problem do I have?”
Lee Dong-seok asked urgently.
Until now, he had met various Trainers and asked what his problem was.
However, there wasn’t a single Trainer who gave him a satisfying answer.
“Your eyes.”
Yujun pointed at his eyes.
“There’s something wrong with your eyes.”
