Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 69

“Eyes…?”

Lee Dong-seok made a bewildered expression.

“Have you never heard of it even once?”

“No, I’ve never heard of it even once.”

Something wrong with his eyes.

He had received training from various trainers, but he had never once heard that there was a problem with his eyes.

“I have heard that there were problems with my body though.”

That’s why Lee Dong-seok naturally thought there would be problems with his body.

Whether it was problems with mana circulation or physical distortion occurring during firing timing.

He had thought it could be muscle or posture problems, or even mental issues.

But his eyes?

“It’s usually difficult to diagnose. But I’m certain.”

Yujun spoke with emphasis.

“There’s a problem with your eyes. It’s mana refraction. The moment you fire, mana refracts and disturbs your vision. When the shooting range exceeds 500 meters, the degree of refraction becomes severe.”

“…Can you tell that just by looking?”

“Yes, I can see it.”

Yujun held out the Geumgang Staff again.

“First, I’ll correct your posture. Your posture needs to be fixed before training can proceed.”

Yujun had tried to swing the Geumgang Staff from earlier too.

Lee Dong-seok wondered how exactly he was going to correct posture with that staff.

‘The mana road connected to the eyes.’

Lee Dong-seok didn’t know, but in Yujun’s eyes, small cracks were clearly visible.

The mana road leading from the collarbone to the neck was twisted.

He just needed to fix this.

“Relax your strength.”

Lee Dong-seok’s body was full of tension.

It was natural.

The Geumgang Staff had considerable intimidating presence just from looking at it.

-Word Command Correction is being used!

As Word Command Correction was used, strength left Lee Dong-seok’s body.

Yujun didn’t miss that timing and swung the Geumgang Staff to strike the exact spot.

Thwack-.

The Geumgang Staff delicately and fiercely struck his neck.

Thwack-!

Everyone was surprised by Yujun’s sudden action, but the person who was actually hit wasn’t surprised at all.

The moment he was hit by the staff, he felt something burst open, and immediately after, his body suddenly felt comfortable.

“My body…”

It felt light in an instant, and at the same time, something that had been completely blocked opened up, with something flowing vigorously.

“Going again.”

Yujun followed up by gently striking the same area once more with the Geumgang Staff.

Then the twisted mana road temporarily returned to its original state.

‘Now.’

Yujun inserted his own mana at the right timing. Then he stopped the mana road that was trying to twist again.

‘I need to straighten it out completely here.’

Shaaaaaaak-.

“Mr. Lee Dong-seok, draw up your mana. And concentrate your mana where I’m placing the staff right now.”

Shaaaaaaaak-!

Lee Dong-seok’s mana concentrated in his neck area.

Yujun took that opportunity to normalize the twisted mana road.

Then mana began flowing vigorously and spreading throughout his entire head.

“…Huh?”

Lee Dong-seok was greatly flustered by the sudden change.

“My eyes…”

It was refreshing.

To the point where he wondered what exactly he had been looking at until now.

“Try shooting again.”

Swoosh-. Swooosh-.

Lee Dong-seok’s cracks were disappearing.

But they hadn’t completely disappeared yet.

The temporarily straightened mana road was still wriggling continuously.

Yujun didn’t lose his concentration.

‘I’ll fix the mana road again the moment he fires.’

Right now the mana road is continuously trying to twist.

The original state should be stretched out like this, so why is it trying to twist?

‘If I find the cause and fix it, that’ll do it.’

Then the training would be complete.

Yujun gave him instructions once again.

“1,000 meters, same as before.”

Swoosh-!

Lee Dong-seok took his stance and immediately pulled the trigger.

Kwagagagagagagagagak-!

He accurately pierced through the 1,000-meter target that he hadn’t been able to hit for so long.

Confirming that the target had been penetrated, Lee Dong-seok’s hands trembled without him realizing it.

Click-. Click-.

He almost dropped the rifle he was holding for a moment.

“Clean shot….”

He had even pierced exactly through the center of the target.

“No way….”

“No way.”

“He hit it…?”

Everyone looked at Lee Dong-seok in shock.

“Manager Lee Dong-seok tried this every day, but he could barely hit it once, if at all.”

The Awakened knew that Manager Lee Dong-seok spent considerable time every day practicing shooting.

Each shot consumed mana and drained mental strength.

Lee Dong-seok would shoot and shoot again until he was exhausted.

He would drink potions and keep shooting, continuing until his body broke down.

Even so, he only hit the target once or twice a day at most.

And even those were lucky hits based on his old instincts, not real skill.

But now he had hit it precisely.

With just one session of Yujun’s training.

However, Yujun wasn’t happy at all.

“….”

“Is this… natural to him?”

Kwagak-!

Yujun was still focused on the training.

“One more time.”

This time Yujun pointed to the 1,500-meter target.

“Shoot the same way.”

Lee Dong-seok gulped and fired his gun again.

Kwagak-.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

This time was also a hit. It was an even more accurate shot than before.

Lee Dong-seok’s hands trembled.

It was exactly like his old instincts.

“It works… it works….”

Before his slump, he had succeeded every day.

As he smiled brightly, Yujun also smiled along with him.

‘Found it. It was here.’

Yujun had precisely located the problem that was causing Lee Dong-seok’s mana load to twist.

Behind his ear. That area kept twisting the mana load.

‘It’s twisting very strongly. I just need to fix this spot.’

“This will hurt a little.”

“That’s fine!”

Crack-!

“Kugh.”

It really did hurt.

However, Yujun didn’t stop.

Crack-. Crack-. Crack-.

It was so severely twisted that even if Lee Dong-seok writhed in pain, there was nothing that could be done.

Shaaaaaaak-!

“Done.”

Yujun had corrected his physical condition.

“Now try shooting that one.”

Yujun pointed to the target farthest away.

3,000 meters.

There were even various artifacts placed in between that would affect accuracy.

Whooooosh-.

Strong wind.

Strong wind with all kinds of obstacles.

It was the highest difficulty target among all the targets in the Training Room.

“Please change it to maximum difficulty.”

It was even possible to change the difficulty level.

Whooooosh-.

Whooooooooooooosh-!

The wind grew stronger. Not only that, but the targets began to move.

They moved randomly without any pattern, and on top of that, even the obstacles started moving.

Swoosh-. Swoosh-. Swoosh-.

At that hellish difficulty, Lee Dong-seok shook his head.

“I couldn’t do this even before I fell into my slump.”

This was a difficulty level that only someone like Hong Jun-yong would be able to attempt.

“That’s exactly why we’re doing it. Until now, I’ve only corrected the problems with your eyes. The real training starts now.”

This was when the real training would begin.

Up until now, he had merely corrected physical problems.

‘Now that I’ve fixed his body, I’ll make him shoot even better than before.’

“Take your stance.”

As Lee Dong-seok took his stance, Yujun examined the blue light and cracks dwelling in his body.

‘His stance is excellent.’

Yujun corrected his angle with the Geumgang Staff.

‘A little higher.’

And the mana around his waist more vigorously.

“Read the flow of the wind.”

At Yujun’s words, he showed a surprised expression.

“Didn’t you say you’ve never… taught a ranged Awakened before…?”

Angle, stance correction, and the flow of wind.

These were things that only someone who wasn’t a ranged Awakened couldn’t know, so Lee Dong-seok couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Yes.”

He had never taught one before.

‘In reality, that is.’

He had taught countless ranged Awakened in the Tower of Infinity, and had climbed the Tower countless times to understand their unique sensations.

‘There’s no way I wouldn’t know.’

Of course, combining that with real-world training was another matter entirely, but when he actually experienced it, it wasn’t much different.

‘It’s not completely the same, but the general principles are similar.’

And Yujun’s ability was sufficient to bridge that gap.

Bang-!

Lee Dong-seok fired his gun.

But the mana bullet that was flying well couldn’t avoid the obstacle.

“Adjust the bullet angle. Fifteen degrees. And reduce the bullet size a little.”

-Word Correction is being used!

Once again, Lee Dong-seok pulled the trigger.

Crack-!

This time the wind shook the bullet. However, the bullet traveled farther than before.

“Be conscious of the flow of wind. And the bullet’s mana is clumped together. Circulate it and make it perfectly into a bullet itself.”

He fired once more.

This time it passed through the wind and barely grazed past the randomly moving target.

“Wow…”

“…!”

Just twice.

With two pieces of advice, he went from a situation where he couldn’t hit anything to barely missing.

“Going again.”

Yujun’s training was precise.

He was intuitively training sensations that couldn’t be known without ranged awakening abilities.

Lee Dong-seok was experiencing new sensations.

This kind of training was a first for him.

He thought that maybe he could hit that extremely difficult target.

He had received a lot of training so far, but had never once felt such dramatic change.

It had been helpful.

However, using that help as a foundation to improve was entirely his own responsibility.

But now, trainer Kang Yu-jun was leading him.

He just had to ride on top of those teachings.

Shaaaah-.

As Yujun said, he loosened the mana of the mana bullet as much as possible.

He created a perfect mana bullet without any clumping and loaded it.

Raised the angle.

After momentarily drawing mana up to his waist.

He withstood the recoil simultaneously with firing.

Boom-!

The fired bullet drew a curve and then accurately penetrated the target that had been moving with irregular movements.

Crash-!

“….”

“….”

Everyone fell silent at the result.

“This is the potential that Awakener Lee Dong-seok possesses.”

It was Yujun who broke the silence.

He declared with a grin.

“Training complete.”

-You have trained A-rank Awakener Lee Dong-seok!

-You have successfully completed Lee Dong-seok’s training!

-Calculating training score!

To obtain the new skill, Insight, he needed to achieve training scores of 10 consecutively.

“….”

‘It was close, but.’

-Training Score 10 / 10

-Excellent training!

-You have gained points!

-You gained 200P!

‘With this, I’ve taken one step closer to Insight.’

Yujun gestured to Lee Dong-seok.

Lee Dong-seok was in a considerably excited state.

Even at his best condition, he had never thought about hitting a 3,000-meter target.

This was a level above what he had never achieved before.

Yet now, with just one training session, he had accomplished this!

His heart was pounding violently.

“You got the feel for it, right? Then.”

However, Yujun was quite composed.

“One more time.”

‘He just hit it once.’

His range hadn’t perfectly become 3,000 meters.

So he needed to firmly imprint this sensation.

At Yujun’s words, the excited Lee Dong-seok took a deep breath. Then he aimed at the 3,000-meter target again.

He steadied his breathing.

Kwaak-!

He fired.

Kukwakwakwakwang-!

An intense strike that made the surroundings ring shattered the target.

He had pierced through the extremely difficult target twice in a row.

“….”

“….”

Not only Lee Dong-seok, but the eyes of the other 34 Awakened wavered.

Their gazes focused on Yujun all at once.

“One person finished.”

It might actually be possible.

Training 35 people in just one week.
