Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 7
Meanwhile, Kim Gyo-jun couldn’t control his trembling body.
He had simply corrected his posture.
Of course, Yujun had injected mana and touched Kim Gyo-jun’s body while correcting his posture.
But that alone wouldn’t cause such a dramatic change in movement.
Yujun gestured to him again and gave instructions.
“Continue.”
Kim Gyo-jun gulped and continued displaying his swordsmanship.
Kim Gyo-jun had lower physical strength than other Awakened of his level. It wasn’t that he had neglected training, but that was just his natural constitution.
Because of this, until now he had received training focused on strengthening his weak physical body.
But he could feel it just now.
This was different from all the training he had received so far. He didn’t know what or how it worked, but there was something else in Kang Yu-jun’s training.
“What should I… do?”
“First, I’ll observe more. I’ll watch more and then decide.”
Yujun spoke in a calm voice.
“You just need to trust me.”
Trust.
That one thing was enough.
Though he was speaking to Kim Gyo-jun, it was also meant for all the trainees present.
After all, he couldn’t conduct training if they didn’t trust him first.
‘The impact was quite significant.’
The trainees here had spent quite a long time together. That meant they knew each other very well.
They knew well what kind of trainee Kim Gyo-jun was.
‘They would also know that strike just now had power Kim Gyo-jun couldn’t normally produce.’
So they would be even more shocked.
“Today I’ll only train exactly three people.”
There were twenty people gathered here.
When he said he would only train exactly three of them, unlike before, everyone raised their hands.
“Please, please look at me! Teacher!”
“I need training!”
“Teacher!”
Yujun didn’t answer immediately and carefully observed the trainees.
‘I’ve roughly decided on the candidates.’
From what he could see, Kim Gyo-jun was the weakest here.
‘First, I’ll teach Kim Gyo-jun.’
He planned to take the lowest-level Youth and make him the highest level.
‘I’ll leave a definite impression on the guild.’
-You have trained Awakened Kim Gyo-jun.
-Training score 5/10
-You have gained points according to your training score.
It was the same score as before.
But Yujun had gotten the hang of it. He felt how he should utilize this ability.
‘I gained 1 point.’
Currently, the last third skill among the Lv.1 skills required 10 points.
‘I still need more points.’
The third skill was also one he already knew.
‘It’s better to unlock it quickly.’
“Line up in order! I’ll choose.”
* * *
“Isn’t this ridiculous? Entrusting our Youth to an external trainer?”
“It is ridiculous. But don’t worry. He’ll only teach exactly three people. He won’t touch the rest.”
Sky Guild currently had a total of three full-time Youth trainers.
So the guild leader had called them together to explain the situation.
That he would entrust some of the Youth to a freelance trainer under external contract.
Naturally, there was strong opposition.
“If you know it’s ridiculous, why are you doing this?”
The trainer who served as team leader among the three trainers asked.
“He fixed Woo Ha-na’s weakness. In just one day.”
“…Excuse me?”
The Youth Trainer Team Leader couldn’t believe his ears and asked again.
Instead of answering, the guild leader took out a smart pad and showed them a video.
It was a training video of Woo Ha-na.
“…Huh.”
“This is Ha-na…?”
“….”
The trainers who watched the video to the end muttered with shocked expressions.
They understood the guild master’s feelings for allowing this despite knowing it broke protocol.
As if understanding those feelings, the guild master smiled and said.
“They’re currently in youth training, so feel free to go and observe.”
* * *
Training Ground.
The Sky Guild trainers were carefully observing Yujun’s training.
“It’s really Kang Yu-jun.”
It was already surprising that he had corrected Woo Ha-na in just one day.
They were shocked once more to learn that his identity was Kang Yu-jun, who had been a youth at Promise Guild until recently.
“Wait, is that really Kang Yu-jun? Not just someone who looks like him?”
“Yes, that’s correct. That’s the Kang Yu-jun.”
“Didn’t he get expelled recently? He would have only received Awakened education since childhood, so he wouldn’t have received professional trainer education, right?”
Trainers and Awakened are different.
Basically, to teach Awakened, one must be able to convert everything they accomplished through instinct into words and data and explain it.
Since all Awakened have different senses, they had to tap into those senses through explanation.
Therefore, it was necessary to go through professional trainer education courses to convert experiences from their Awakened days into data.
So they were worried about Kang Yu-jun jumping straight into the trainer market, but seeing him directly, his speech was incredibly fluent.
Not only that, but he even made others understand easily.
“This is impossible.”
“He grasps the kids’ conditions that quickly?”
“It looked like he just glanced at them?”
Natural insight.
Thanks to that, Kang Yu-jun was quickly identifying problems and providing suitable solutions in an instant.
“That’s not what’s important.”
However, the team leader focused on something else.
“Solutions can be found if you look carefully.”
What’s important is making the other person understand.
“He’s making them understand easily. Making them understand is the hardest part, and he’s doing that right now. At that level, he’s much better than I was in my fifth year. Those kids aren’t that smart either.”
Not just any fifth year.
A fifth year who had been beaten down and rolled around everywhere.
Yet Kang Yu-jun’s current training skills seemed far superior to his own from those days.
“Ha, so you’re saying that Kang Yu-jun became a trainer and corrected Woo Ha-na’s problems?”
Among Sky Guild’s youth, Woo Ha-na was the most difficult case.
Woo Ha-na had the highest potential among Sky Guild’s youth.
If they could just make this bloom, it would be equivalent to adding a very significant achievement to a trainer’s career.
But unleashing that potential was incredibly difficult.
Woo Ha-na was an Awakened with unique senses different from other Awakened.
Even though Awakened have various senses, there are definitely overlapping parts.
But Woo Ha-na had no parts that could be said to overlap. Rather, there were parts that seemed to overlap but were actually different.
So they had to explain in a way Woo Ha-na could understand, and that’s where a trainer’s capabilities were divided.
“How on earth did he do it?”
He muttered half in frustration, half in amazement.
He also knew the problem well since he had trained Woo Ha-na.
But correcting it was difficult.
Woo Ha-na also knew her own problems but didn’t know how to solve them.
However, Kang Yu-jun had accomplished it.
And in just one day at that.
The Woo Ha-na they were looking at now was not the previous Woo Ha-na.
Look at that explosive mana circulation.
Once that sense completely settles in, she would be able to leap past the 10th floor of the tower immediately.
It meant she could establish a foundation to jump to higher grades in one go.
And all of this started with Kang Yu-jun’s training.
Grind.
“What’s different?”
It was definitely different. But he couldn’t tell what was different.
“I need to watch more.”
This wasn’t the time to just be jealous.
Kang Yu-jun must have experienced countless trainers while spending time as a Promise youth.
Probably that experience created excellent results despite just starting his trainer career.
“I can’t just hand everything over like this.”
* * *
“Woo Ha-na is being assigned to Sales Team 3.”
Sky Guild Sales Team 3.
The sales teams were what handled tower conquest in the guild.
The sales teams were divided into Teams 1, 2, and 3.
Among them, Teams 2 and 3 were development teams that helped newly deployed Awakened gain experience to adapt to the tower, while Team 1 was the climbing team that seriously ascended the tower.
In short, building experience in Teams 2 and 3 to advance to Team 1 was the goal of Sky Guild’s Youth members.
Woo Ha-na was no different. Her goal was to join Team 1, which was capable of tower climbing.
“Woo Ha-na?”
Lee Deok-bae, the team leader of Sales Team 3, frowned.
“You’re putting her in Team 3? I haven’t heard that she’s fixed her weakness yet?”
Her acceleration ability was evaluated as having great potential, and if she could use it properly, she would be perfect to place in the vanguard.
If placed in the vanguard, she would be of great help by confusing monsters and such.
Moreover, if they needed to do speed runs, which was one of the tower’s missions, there would be no one as excellent as Woo Ha-na.
However, Woo Ha-na had a major weakness.
“It’s been fixed? She wasn’t promoted just because she came of age?”
The deputy team leader shook his head at the team leader’s words.
“I didn’t understand either, so I looked into it, and they say it’s been fixed.”
“That chronic problem? From what I know, she was ready long ago, but couldn’t be promoted for years because she couldn’t solve that issue.”
Lee Deok-bae had recently visited the Training Ground himself to check the training status of the Youth members.
The basic rule was to promote them to Sales Team 3 when they came of age. However, sometimes promising Awakened who hadn’t come of age yet were promoted to sales teams to gain experience.
He had visited the Training Ground at that time because there were vacant positions after promoting useful Team 3 members to Team 2.
He planned to check the Youth members’ condition and request promotion to Team 3 for any promising ones he spotted.
“When I saw her then, she still had the same problem?”
It had been just recently.
It was too short a time to say she had fixed that chronic problem.
But since they said she was promoted after fixing it, there was no need to say more for now.
“Well, since she’s already been promoted.”
He could evaluate her by seeing for himself.
Just then, Woo Ha-na entered.
“Hello! I’m Woo Ha-na!”
As Woo Ha-na entered, everyone in Team 3 sent welcoming greetings.
“Welcome, Ms. Ha-na.”
“Yes, Team Leader! I’ll work hard!”
“You can participate right away, can’t you, Ms. Ha-na? We have a tower raid today.”
“Yes, I can!”
Woo Ha-na spoke confidently.
She was in a state full of confidence.
It was because she had received Yujun’s second training session just yesterday.
“Good to see such enthusiasm. Let’s go.”
* * *
Tower of Clouds.
This massive tower was a place bustling with countless Awakened.
South Korea had been striving to conquer the top floor of this Tower of Clouds for decades, but the highest floor currently conquered was only the 45th floor.
When the 45th floor was first broken through, there was hope that they might be the first in the world to reach the top floor, perhaps even beyond East Asia.
But the hope ended at the 45th floor.
The team that first broke through the 45th floor had now become the established elite called masters.
Of course, that didn’t mean they had given up on conquering it.
Various top-tier guilds were repeatedly attempting to conquer the next floor.
However, most guilds and Awakened were repeatedly conquering the lower floors. It was safer and more profitable that way.
“Alright, let’s go in.”
Whooooom-.
The tower’s 1st floor. Up to the 9th floor, called the last of the Tower of Clouds’ lower floors, they could travel comfortably by riding something like an elevator.
Whooooooom-.
Sky Guild got off at the 5th floor.
The 5th floor was a very standard place.
The Sales Team 3 leader at the very front spoke.
“Everyone, attention! Today we’re not here to do something amazing. We came to gain experience. This 5th floor is a very easy place in the Tower of Clouds. The mission is simple.”
Ding-!
Just then, the same notification window appeared before Sales Team 3’s eyes.
The Tower of Clouds had missions given on each floor, and they had to clear those missions to ascend higher.
The 5th floor’s mission was…
-[Eliminate all monsters!]
It was very simple monster elimination.
Because of this, it was a preferred floor for Awakened who were climbing the tower for the first time or needed experience.
“You’ve confirmed the mission, right? Today we’re conquering the 5th floor. Make sure not to overdo it. Although the 5th floor is said to be for beginners, there are many dangerous monsters. If you get caught by those monsters, you’ll at least get fractures. And with low probability, but…”
The team leader spoke in a stern, warning voice.
“Some people die. Surely no one wants to die in the line of duty on the 5th floor?”
Dying on the 5th floor, not even on an upper floor, would be truly humiliating.
Everyone took the Team Leader of Sales Team 3’s words to heart.
“A moderate level of tension is good. Don’t be too nervous.”
Most of Sales Team 3 consisted of people making their first tower climb, and the rest were only Awakened with very little tower climbing experience.
As such, everyone had tense expressions in various ways.
But there was exactly one person who seemed relaxed.
That one person already had confidence.
Confidence that she would be able to show her true abilities today.
“Well then, for now.”
The Team Leader of Sales Team 3 positioned the newcomers at the front.
“Vanguard, advance.”
* * *
The Training Grounds of the Sky Guild.
“Team Leader?”
The Team Leader of Sales Team 3, who had entered breathing heavily, immediately approached one of the trainers.
The Junior Trainer approached the Team Leader of Sales Team 3 in confusion.
“Wh-what’s the matter? Did something happen in the tower…?”
“H-how exactly did you train Woo Ha-na?”
He asked accusingly right off the bat.
The Junior Trainer responded with a bewildered expression.
“Why? What went wrong?”
“It’s not that…”
The Team Leader of Sales Team 3 shook his head as if frustrated and shouted.
“Woo Ha-na should be sent straight to Team 1, not Team 3! She’s perfectly prepared. Who exactly is this Kang Yu-jun who trained Woo Ha-na!”
