Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 70

Seo Yu-ri and Kang Yu-jun were using the One-Shot Guild’s massive training ground by dividing it in half.

They had put quite a distance between them so as not to interfere with each other’s training.

Of course, if they wanted to watch, they could easily observe each other’s training. However, Seo Yu-ri was now focused on the Awakened in front of her.

Though she was curious about Yujun’s training methods, it was important to first train the Awakened she was responsible for.

Especially since time was not abundant, she needed to properly establish and execute the training sessions.

“Could you try shooting first? Mr. Kim Yu-jin over there.”

When Seo Yu-ri called his name, Kim Yu-jin immediately used his awakened ability.

Shaaaak.

He created a bow with mana and immediately shot toward the target.

200 meters.

Thwack-!

The target split upon impact.

“Hmm.”

Seo Yu-ri’s eyes gleamed.

His posture.

The angle.

And the mana she felt within his body when he shot.

‘He lacks power.’

She quickly went through the information.

“Next guild member.”

Seo Yu-ri planned to quickly scan through the One-Shot Guild members first.

‘I need to assess their capabilities first.’

And she needed to figure out exactly what problems were causing their slow growth and why they couldn’t clear the Tower.

Thwack-!

Thwaaaaaack-!

She checked the shooting skills of 5 out of 35 members.

“Mm.”

After watching those five shoot, Seo Yu-ri pressed her temple firmly with her index finger.

‘I think I roughly know the problems.’

As a former ranged-type Awakened, she could immediately identify the Awakened’s problems.

‘There are common issues.’

The mana that should flow to the shoulders was stopping at the waist and not connecting.

Not only that, but accuracy was also a problem.

Their bodies would twist the moment they shot.

So even if they hit well at first, as shock accumulated in their bodies and that accumulation worsened, their accuracy would drop.

On top of that, destructive power was also an issue.

‘Posture, and the destructive power problem that comes from it.’

Accuracy aside, their posture prevented them from producing the power they should naturally have.

Their slow growth was because there was no one to properly guide them.

‘Body balance problems this intricately twisted are difficult for an outsider to fix.’

“Accuracy and destructive power are the problems. Mm. But it seems like those aren’t the only issues.”

Seo Yu-ri said.

“Overall growth has slowed down. Did you share training before all the trainers left?”

“Yes.”

“Hmmmm. I see.”

As if she had realized the problem, she picked up her smart pad and began writing something down.

‘Fixing balance would be difficult. For other trainers, that is.’

Seo Yu-ri was confident.

During her days as an Awakened, she had overflowing talent.

But regardless of her overflowing talent, every single day was a series of hardships.

She was only born with powerful talent.

Because her body wasn’t naturally gifted.

The Awakened before her were like Seo Yu-ri from those days.

Their natural talent wasn’t supported by their bodies, and even when their bodies could support it, sometimes their talent couldn’t keep up.

“I really came to the right place.”

“We…”

“Is it possible to train everyone?”

Just like the Awakened under Yujun’s care had asked, they too wondered if one week might be too short.

“It’s fine.”

Seo Yu-ri said.

“I’ll train everyone to the extent of my abilities. And I won’t really leave after just one week.”

She had already received the contract payment.

Moreover, this contract wasn’t based on hourly rates.

Somehow it had turned into what seemed like a head-to-head competition with Yujun to complete training within a week, but Seo Yu-ri planned to stay and continue training even after the week was over.

“One week is just the time that Trainer Kang proposed.”

It could simply be seen as a tacit competition between the two trainers.

“So don’t worry.”

Awakened who receive training must trust their trainer.

Since that was the foundation of training, Seo Yu-ri first reassured the Awakened.

“Please keep pace with my training.”

Seo Yu-ri immediately pointed to one of the guild members.

“Your name?”

“Kim Su-cheol.”

“You’re an A-rank Awakener, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“And you’re at team leader level among these 35 people.”

“Yes.”

He nodded with an embarrassed expression.

Shamefully, despite being at team leader level, his growth wasn’t just slow but was actually regressing.

“I’ll check Awakener Kim Su-cheol first.

She chose Kim Su-cheol from among them to gain the Awakened’s solid trust for future training.

Like a placebo effect, trust and faith in the trainer often greatly helped with training.

Moreover, Kim Su-cheol was relatively manageable to teach among them.

‘I can turn all the visible weaknesses into strengths.’

Seo Yu-ri immediately checked his abilities.

“Fire multiple small energy bullets.”

“Hmm, then.”

Seo Yu-ri took out an artifact.

It was an artifact that looked like a small staff, and this was exactly the artifact she had asked the manager to obtain.

“This is an artifact that gathers the power of ranged Awakened. Let’s use this as an auxiliary tool for practice.”

Kim Su-cheol gripped the staff.

“Focus on the tip of the staff. And think about gathering multiple energy bullets into one and firing them like before.”

Kim Su-cheol focused on the tip of the staff as Seo Yu-ri instructed.

Shaaaak-.

Mana instantly gathered at the tip of the staff and tried to spread to the surroundings.

“There’s too much mana right now. Reduce the mana a bit and gather it calmly.”

Shaaaaak-.

Following Seo Yu-ri’s advice, Kim Su-cheol’s mana began gathering at the tip of the staff again.

“Putting on VR.”

Next was the VR machine.

Seo Yu-ri pursued a training style that checked numbers through the VR machine and set direction accordingly.

“Fire.”

Goblins appeared in front of Kim Su-cheol wearing the VR machine.

Since there was quite a distance, Kim Su-cheol fired energy bullets with composure.

Swaek-! Swaek-!

Seo Yu-ri assembled Kim Su-cheol’s movements and the numbers output by the VR machine in her mind.

‘Hmm.’

Currently, One Shot’s Awakened were in a state where growth itself had stopped.

‘There’s no major problem.’

Lack of training.

They lacked training suitable for ranged Awakened.

Swaek-! Swaek-!

Kim Su-cheol continued firing energy bullets using the mana staff.

Charuk-. Charuruk-.

The numbers changed each time.

“There’s a problem with destructive power.”

Kim Su-cheol’s weakness was destructive power.

‘He doesn’t know how to use his power or how to draw it out.’

She would correct that through the artifact staff.

As expected, Kim Su-cheol’s feedback direction was an area where ranged Awakened could struggle.

‘I can solve this.’

She could sufficiently make up for his shortcomings.

“Your center of gravity shifts when using mana. Put firm strength in your legs to make mana circulate instantly. Time it exactly to the moment you shoot. You need to relax and only raise tension at the moment of firing.”

Following Seo Yu-ri’s words, Kim Su-cheol fired an energy bullet once more.

“Good. But you can go further, further. Lower your stance, hold your breath. Think of mana rising from your toes becoming the bullet. Shoulders. The mana flow is twisted right now. You need to feel the grain.”

Though it might have seemed like lengthy talk, these were sensory demands that ranged Awakened could understand very easily.

Kim Su-cheol, accepting Seo Yu-ri’s advice, immediately fired an energy bullet again.

It was definitely easier to understand than other trainers and full of detail.

But he didn’t think this one piece of advice alone would change everything.

Shaaaak-.

Pak-!

Kim Su-cheol’s energy blast flew and accurately penetrated the goblin.

“Wow….”

“…That destructive power is no joke!”

Kim Su-cheol, an A-rank Awakener, was focused more on speed than destructive power.

But with just a brief training session, his destructive power had become much higher than before.

The second shot was more powerful than the first, and the third shot was even more powerful.

The more he corrected his posture following the training, the stronger his power became.

“…!”

Even Kim Su-cheol was surprised by his own destructive power.

Seo Yu-ri smiled broadly.

“Let’s continue.”

This moment when the Awakener himself was surprised and felt the effects of training was the moment Seo Yu-ri enjoyed most.

But then.

Kwagagagagang-!

A thunderous roar came from the adjacent training ground.

“…!”

“What was that!?”

Everyone looked toward the adjacent training ground where the roar had come from.

Kang Yu-jun’s training was taking place there, and he had also chosen the same A-rank Awakener as his first training subject, just like Seo Yu-ri.

A-rank Awakener Lee Dong-seok.

Manager Lee Dong-seok’s weakness had recently become prominent in the worst way, so everyone knew about it well.

He was a long-range type Awakener who couldn’t perform long-distance sniping.

Though he was A-rank, he could now only produce power that was worse than even C-rank.

To produce proper power, he needed to perform long-distance sniping, but his accuracy dropped significantly the farther the distance.

If things continued this way, not only would he lose his manager position, but in the worst case, he could even be expelled from the guild – it was that serious a situation.

But he was performing long-distance sniping.

“…Huh?”

“1,000 meters…?”

Kwagak-!

And 1,500 meters.

He hit targets at even greater distances.

“What? How?”

“Manager Lee is performing long-distance sniping…?”

While everyone was stirring with shock, Yujun paid no attention to it and swung his Geumgang staff.

Kwagak-! Kwak-!

Seo Yu-ri saw it.

Every time Yujun swung the Geumgang staff, blue mana overflowed from Lee Dong-seok’s body.

“This is….”

This is impossible.

Is he correcting posture with that staff right now?

No. This goes beyond posture correction.

“His body is being corrected….”

He’s shaking up the inside of the body to correct even the mana roads.

Being a former long-range type Awakener with considerably good eyesight, she could see what Yujun was doing in more detail than others.

“Wow….”

Yujun’s training was so shocking she was left speechless.

Correcting the body isn’t an easy task.

If even a little too much force is applied or the wrong spot is touched, it could cause serious injury.

Not only that, but the trainer himself could also get hurt, so such bold physical correction was something that should be avoided.

However, Yujun was perfectly executing that dangerous physical correction method.

And that wasn’t all.

As soon as the physical correction ended, additional training began.

He said the previous physical correction was to maintain proper physical condition and proceeded with the training.

1,000 meters, and then 1,500 meters.

It was already amazing that he made these long-distance snipes successful again, but now he was aiming for 3,000 meters.

3,000 meters was the most difficult level among the targets in the One-Shot Guild Training Grounds.

Unless you were an Awakener at Deputy Manager Hong Jun-yong’s level, hitting it was impossible.

In fact, Manager Lee Dong-seok had said that hitting the 3,000-meter target was quite difficult even when he was in good condition.

The One-Shot Guild’s Awakeners were stirring.

“No way.”

“He’s going for 3,000 meters…?”

“That won’t work. He couldn’t do that even before.”

But when you think about it, that’s true.

Isn’t training supposed to make the impossible possible?

Stronger.

Better.

Kim Su-cheol swallowed.

He too had just received training from Seo Yu-ri and felt like he had somewhat broken through the wall that had been blocking him until now.

“But not to that extent….”

But 3,000 meters was too much.

That wasn’t simply a matter of distance. To reach that target, countless things had to be calculated.

It wasn’t simply about shooting, but calculating the trajectory of the projectile was far more important.

“He’ll fail.”

“That won’t work.”

To make that possible with just a couple of training sessions was absurd.

“Hmm….”

Seo Yu-ri let out a groan.

She had certainly done an excellent job training Kim Su-cheol.

Kim Su-cheol had broken through the wall that had been blocking him.

But Seo Yu-ri couldn’t make the A-rank Awakener Kim Su-cheol able to shoot the 3,000 meters he couldn’t hit before.

At least not in just one day.

“No way he’ll actually hit it?”

“He’s really going to shoot?”

Everyone focused their attention on Kang Yu-jun and Section Chief Lee Dong-seok.

Lee Dong-seok took his stance.

And fired.

The first shot was a failure.

The second was also a failure.

“See, it’s not working. Does that even make sense?”

“Wow, but that was close. It really seems like just a little more would do it…?”

“At least today it won’t work….”

Then the third gunshot rang out.

“No way.”

Yujun gave Section Chief Lee Dong-seok one more piece of advice, and then Section Chief Lee Dong-seok pulled the trigger.

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiish-!

Cutting through the wind.

Avoiding obstacles.

Bang-!

The bullet tore through the 3,000-meter target.

“….”

“….”

It was an incredible achievement.

An overwhelming achievement.

However, there was no change in Yujun’s expression.

Rather, he said coldly.

“One more time.”

As soon as Yujun’s words fell, Section Chief Lee Dong-seok aimed at the target and pulled the trigger once more.

Shaaaaaaak-.

Whish-!

Crack-!

The mana bullet accurately penetrated the target.

This couldn’t be considered luck.

It could only be seen that Lee Dong-seok’s skills had improved through training.

“….”

“…Wow.”

“What is this….”

“This is impossible!”

“Section Chief Lee! You couldn’t do this before!”

“Making the impossible possible is what training is about, but… I’ve never seen anything like that.”

“Literally….”

“You got stronger through training…?”

He had only trained one person.

But with that training, all eyes and judgments changed.

Clap clap clap clap-!

Everyone in the training ground gave applause for Yujun’s miraculous training.

Kang Yu-jun had said.

That he would create a team capable of raiding upper Tower levels with only ranged Awakeners.

That he would provide training for that purpose.

Those unbelievable words had now become reality.

“I can’t believe it. How did I manage to hit the 3,000-meter target….”

Yujun spoke to Lee Dong-seok with conviction.

“That will become your baseline.”

At those words, the guild members’ hearts beat fiercely.

“My goal is to make everyone able to hit the 3,000-meter target.”

“…!”

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Kang Yu-jun.

Seo Yu-ri’s Manager momentarily looked at Seo Yu-ri.

This was a tremendous humiliation.

The Awakeners currently receiving training from Seo Yu-ri should have been looking at Seo Yu-ri at least.

However, now everyone was looking at Kang Yu-jun.

The Manager looked at Seo Yu-ri with concern, but Seo Yu-ri herself was also looking at Kang Yu-jun.

Her eyes were shining.

There was no humiliation at all.

There was no anger or jealousy either.

The emotion in her eyes was just one thing.

Awe.

And added to that was pure curiosity.

“…How did you do it?”
