Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 77
Guild Master Lee An-guk bowed his head respectfully and expressed his sincere gratitude.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.”
Having paid the 2 billion won contract fee, one could say the compensation had been fully settled.
However, Yujun had delivered results several times beyond expectations—results they hadn’t even dared to hope for.
This was definitely not something that could be accomplished for a mere 2 billion won.
“We at One Shot will never forget Trainer Kang Yu-jun’s grace. Please visit our guild anytime! If there’s anything you desire, we’ll do our best to provide it!”
The Guild Master said while bowing his head deeply.
“It’s too early to be grateful. There’s still one more left, isn’t there? The training matter.”
At Yujun’s words, the Guild Master showed a tense expression.
Yujun was right.
Just one person.
There was still someone who hadn’t received training.
“Yes, he’ll come today.”
An S-rank Awakened.
The training of Hong Jun-yong, the One-Shot Guild’s ace wind archer, remained.
‘They said all the trainers who dealt with Hong Jun-yong ran away.’
This wasn’t something that happened in a short period.
‘This happened over several years.’
Without a single exception.
All the trainers who taught Hong Jun-yong said the same thing unanimously.
-I can’t teach him!
-He’s arrogant and selfish. But his skills are solid, so he devours trainers instead.
What kind of beings are trainers?
Aren’t they the ones who teach?
Yet they heard he tried to teach those trainers in reverse.
‘The most difficult point is.’
The problem lay more in his abilities than his personality.
It was certain there were problems, but he absolutely refused to acknowledge them.
‘They said training him was nearly impossible.’
Hong Jun-yong was someone who harbored problems so difficult that no one could convince him.
“Then before Hong Jun-yong arrives, may I ask for one favor?”
At Yujun’s words, the Guild Master brightened and said.
“Please tell me! I’ll grant anything I can.”
“Do you have some magic stones? As many as possible, if you can.”
“That’s not difficult. I’ll give you as many as you want!”
* * *
-Manager Hong will return soon.
Hong Jun-yong, the One-Shot Guild’s ace, was scheduled to return soon after finishing his raid.
“He’s finally coming.”
Yujun smiled and began planning a training session for him.
-Current Points: 2,120P
He had sufficient points.
‘The proficiency of Insight has also increased quite a bit.’
Hong Jun-yong was an Awakened ranging from mid to high S-rank.
To teach such an Awakened, this level of preparation was necessary.
“I’m so excited.”
Krung-.
Fen, who was beside him, shook his body vigorously.
That smile—it was the same smile he showed when massaging him with the diamond staff.
* * *
“Now it’s another confrontation.”
She had suffered a complete defeat to Kang Yu-jun in teaching One Shot’s guild members.
But teaching Hong Jun-yong, an S-rank Awakened, would be different.
She had obtained her A-rank license quite some time ago, and had taught over ten S-rank Awakened during that period.
While she hadn’t taught all S-rank Awakened excellently, through training S-rank Awakened, she had grasped how to teach them.
That’s why she was confident.
“Trainer Kang Yu-jun has no experience teaching S-rank, right?”
At those words, the Manager immediately answered.
“He has experience teaching S-rank Awakened. You know, don’t you? Volcano Yu Je-na.”
“Hmm, she’s quite a troublesome Awakened too.”
Yu Je-na was an S-rank Awakened who was evaluated as having clear growth limitations.
To think he had taught that Yu Je-na.
“So what happened to Awakened Yu Je-na?”
“She grew one level and became a mid-tier S-rank.”
“….”
Seo Yu-ri furrowed her brow and let out a groan.
He had elevated that Yu Je-na to mid-tier S-rank?
“No, when did he teach her? Didn’t he come here right after getting his A-rank license?”
Seo Yu-ri asked back as if it was absurd.
“It was before he got his A-rank license, apparently.”
“This crazy son of a…”
She almost let the word “bitch” slip out.
He had taught an S-rank Awakened before even getting his A-rank license?
And that Yu Je-na, who was said to be particularly difficult to train even among S-rank Awakened?
Training S-rank Awakened with clear limitations was meaningless.
It was different from other ranks.
S-ranks were already near-complete Awakened.
“He completely ignored all existing theories and made her grow that much?”
He had broken convention again.
Ignoring everything existing and walking his own path.
At that fact, Seo Yu-ri felt a strange sense of exhilaration.
Right.
This was exactly what a Trainer should be.
Various memories flashed through her mind.
The injury that had come to her.
That day when everyone said rehabilitation was impossible.
After becoming a Trainer, she had looked back at herself. And she too had reached the same conclusion.
“…I don’t know. I don’t know.”
She shook her head with a bitter expression.
“I think there’s no need to think about it complicatedly! We just need to train Director Hong Jun-yong and show results.”
At the Manager’s words, Seo Yu-ri nodded.
“You’re right. We should try it first.”
* * *
Shaaaak-.
Swish-!
Strong gusts of wind arose with each step he took.
Light clothing.
An Awakened wearing a monocle sniping support artifact and with his hair slicked back entered the One Shot Guild building.
Despite his considerably tall height, his body was relatively lean.
“…I’m back.”
After several days on a Regular Raid, Hong Jun-yong had finally returned.
He had a tired face from the quite lengthy Regular Raid.
“Yes! Good work! Director Hong!”
A desk employee quickly guided Hong Jun-yong.
Normally he would have gone straight to report to the Guild Master, but Hong Jun-yong was quite exhausted.
So he thought he should go to his quarters to rest first before making his report.
As Hong Jun-yong crossed through the building, some sounds reached his ears.
Swish-!
Crack-!
“…?”
Someone was in the Training Ground.
Not just one person. At least dozens.
But right now, this guild had no reason for so many Awakened to be training.
They were all in slumps and their skills were so poor they couldn’t handle high-level raids.
On top of that, all the Trainers had left.
Creak-.
When he opened the door, there were Guild Members doing training.
But something was strange.
“What the hell?”
Hong Jun-yong’s pupils began shaking wildly.
He was tracking the movements of all the Guild Members in the Training Ground with his eyes.
“Why have they changed so much?”
From their movements to the power of their ranged attacks, accuracy, and even breathing.
“Their essence… is properly alive?”
Only their faces were the same; everyone here was not the people Hong Jun-yong had known.
“What the hell happened?”
Hong Jun-yong frowned.
Then his eyes caught sight of two people he had never seen before.
“Just keep going as you are. Good, good. Your breathing is quite good.”
“…Trainer?”
Who would have thought Trainers would come to One Shot!
Hong Jun-yong observed the movements of the two Trainers.
First, the female Trainer on one side was someone he recognized.
“Seo Yu-ri, wasn’t it.”
She was once called a rising star among ranged Awakened.
But he heard she got injured because she couldn’t handle her talent.
“She retired and switched to being a Trainer.”
And the other one had peculiar movements.
Something was different.
It was an unpredictable feeling.
There was even a demon beast beside him.
“…What?”
Hong Jun-yong was momentarily startled by the demon beast, but since it was happily making sounds while chewing something, he didn’t attack for now.
“Manager Hong!”
The Guild Master spotted Hong Jun-yong and waved his hand.
“…Yes, Guild Master. I’ve returned.”
Who would have thought the Guild Master would be here.
The Guild Master approached him and said with a hearty laugh.
“Good work! I was going to tell you as soon as you returned. Look, these are the new Trainers who came to our One Shot. They came on short-term contracts and have already been providing training for five days.”
“Ah, I see.”
Hong Jun-yong looked at the two Trainers with a slight frown.
“I’m Hong Jun-yong.”
“I’m Seo Yu-ri.”
“I’m Kang Yu-jun.”
Hong Jun-yong looked at the two people and quickly spoke up.
“Will you be training me as well?”
The Trainers who had come to One Shot so far were generally lacking in skill.
They had insufficient understanding of ranged Awakened and didn’t conduct training tailored to individual Awakened.
Of course, what bothered him most was the terrible training he received personally.
Hong Jun-yong himself knew it too.
The fact that he was quite difficult to deal with.
Beyond being difficult, he knew well that his personality was bad enough to cause gossip.
But the training he had received so far was training that provoked this kind of personality.
Having only received training that inevitably created distrust toward Trainers, he couldn’t help but lack trust in Trainers.
“Yes, I and Trainer Kang Yu-jun here will be in charge of your training, Hong Jun-yong.”
“Hmm.”
Hong Jun-yong looked at Seo Yu-ri.
He already knew about Seo Yu-ri.
She was a fellow ranged Awakened, and he had heard her name when she was in the spotlight.
Hong Jun-yong had high expectations back then too.
He wanted to see how strong this rising star they were promoting so much really was.
But Seo Yu-ri retired not long after.
For the reason that her talent couldn’t sustain her body.
“I doubt it will work. Didn’t you retire because you had less skill than me?”
At Hong Jun-yong’s provocation, Seo Yu-ri frowned slightly.
She had expected him to speak bluntly, but hearing it directly didn’t feel very good.
Seeing such Seo Yu-ri, Hong Jun-yong smirked.
“And this one, well, there’s no need to even mention. The famous golden Youth who got expelled for failing to awaken.”
Unfortunately, the two Trainers who had changed One Shot were people with not-so-good pasts.
Failures.
Especially Kang Yu-jun was famous as an even worse failure than Seo Yu-ri.
Hong Jun-yong looked at Kang Yu-jun.
Kang Yu-jun was smiling.
It wasn’t the kind of smile that pretended to be unaffected.
It was a genuinely relaxed smile.
Hong Jun-yong’s eyebrows twitched at that smile that seemed to regard his provocation as trivial.
Well, look at this?
Hong Jun-yong gestured and sneered.
“Well, fine. Let’s try it once, this thing called training. Since you’re people the Guild Master worked hard to bring. Besides, I know about the stories regarding me too.”
The Guild Master looked anxious.
The atmosphere was tense from the moment they met.
Poking at the two Trainers’ painful pasts, mocking them as failures.
Still, he felt relieved that at least he didn’t completely refuse the training.
Hong Jun-yong went to one side and gripped his bow.
His bow wasn’t something with physical substance, but a bow made from his mana.
Shaaaaaak-.
Mana gathered to become wind.
He gathered that wind to create a bow.
A bow of wind.
This was the reason he earned the nickname Wind Archer.
An archer who understands and commands the wind.
Swooooosh-.
Hong Jun-yong immediately gathered wind to create an arrow and nocked it to the bowstring.
All the One-Shot Guild members who were training focused their attention on them.
“….”
“….”
Everyone was tense.
Until now, Hong Jun-yong had driven away trainers with the same pattern.
“Training me means you can find problems with my technique.”
Creak-.
Hong Jun-yong lightly drew the bowstring.
With his upper body firmly fixed, he kept his gaze forward and released the bowstring.
Swoosh-.
The wind arrow that left the string instantly struck the highest difficulty target that had been set up.
“…!”
Seo Yu-ri was astonished.
It was a perfect shot.
It was so textbook and beautiful that it drew admiration.
He shot lightly but it struck with great force.
“Only Director Hong can hit a 3,000-meter target so easily.”
“It’s truly admirable every time I see it.”
“How does he generate such power while shooting so lightly?”
“The wind is particularly fierce today!”
Despite having just returned from completing a Tower raid, there wasn’t a single flaw in his archery.
Regardless of his shattered personality, his skills were real.
That’s why he was considered the guild’s ace, and why the One-Shot Guild had risen this far.
“Hmm.”
Hong Jun-yong’s archery that she had just witnessed was imprinted in Seo Yu-ri’s mind.
But it didn’t end there.
As if that single shot was just a warm-up, Hong Jun-yong drew the bowstring again in succession.
Swoooosh-.
Thunk-! Thunk-! Thunk-!
The arrows curved strangely and this time hit targets that were even farther away.
It was a distance well over 5,000 meters.
“This is why… he’s called the Wind Archer.”
He wasn’t called the Wind Archer simply because he could manipulate wind.
Wind was just a medium.
The real thing was his curved shots that moved like a single gust of wind.
He could hit targets no matter where they were located.
All the highest difficulty targets here were created based on Hong Jun-yong’s curved shots as the standard.
Swoosh-.
Crack-! Crack-! Crack-!
He shot one arrow, but that single arrow split and pierced through the targets.
It penetrated over 5,000 meters to pierce through targets on the opposite side, proving right there how powerful an S-rank ranged Awakened could be.
“….”
Seo Yu-ri clenched her fists.
Right now, Hong Jun-yong was speaking with his body.
Can you teach me?
The meaning was that to teach someone with this level of skill, shouldn’t you be able to shoot even better than this?
Or you should lead him with concepts that are more perfect or unthinkable than his own.
Seo Yu-ri sighed at this show of force that contained such meaning.
“It’s perfect.”
It was archery without flaws.
There was nothing to fix in that archery.
At least there was nothing that Seo Yu-ri could fix.
Hong Jun-yong possessed skills that surpassed the training that Seo Yu-ri could provide.
“This is quite courteous of him….”
The Guild Master felt secretly relieved watching Hong Jun-yong like this.
Showing his skills and crushing spirits like this was quite a gentle method from Hong Jun-yong’s perspective.
“Since she’s a fellow ranged Awakened junior. Still, he’s rejecting quite gently, Guild Master.”
The Guild Master nodded at the secretary’s quiet whisper.
However, Seo Yu-ri was feeling considerable humiliation.
Hong Jun-yong wanted Seo Yu-ri to answer directly.
That she was inadequate and probably couldn’t teach him.
“How about it?”
At Hong Jun-yong’s question, Seo Yu-ri frowned.
Normally, she would have gotten angry here.
However, Seo Yu-ri let out a short sigh and shook her head.
“I can’t teach you. Your skills are superior to mine. My training cannot lead Hong Jun-yong to a higher level than you’re at now.”
“….”
This wasn’t the reaction Hong Jun-yong wanted.
He never expected her to just meekly acknowledge it like this.
But since he couldn’t get angry about it, he immediately turned his gaze to Kang Yu-jun.
This performance wasn’t directed at Seo Yu-ri, but at Kang Yu-jun.
Kang Yu-jun had seemed strange from the first time he saw him.
What on earth was that demon beast beside him? And how did that failed Youth become a Trainer and make the guild members like this?
And he was deeply curious about those confident eyes.
How could someone who wasn’t even a ranged Awakened try to train him with such confidence?
“Fine. I understand.”
Hong Jun-yong immediately gestured to Yujun.
It was a gesture asking if training was possible.
“Hong Jun-yong.”
Yujun took a step closer to him.
He was holding the Diamond Staff in his hand.
“There’s a problem.”
“…Excuse me?”
Hong Jun-yong’s eyebrows furrowed greatly.
There’s a problem?
Was he saying there was a problem even after seeing his archery just now?
“Where exactly?”
This wasn’t something only Hong Jun-yong was curious about.
Seo Yu-ri beside him was also looking at Yujun with surprised eyes like a rabbit.
Was there really a problem?
“Here.”
The place Yujun pointed to was somewhere they never would have imagined.
“Here?”
