Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 8

The guild members who were climbing the tower for the first time were quite nervous. Only the sound of their heartbeats filled their ears.

Especially those at the front seemed extremely tense, constantly swallowing dry saliva.

But Woo Ha-na was strangely calm.

‘I just need to do what I learned.’

In the previous training, Woo Ha-na had found a definite way to solve her side problem.

‘Now I understand the feeling.’

Until now, no matter how much explanation she heard, she couldn’t understand it, but now she understood it perfectly.

‘Start slowly at first.’

But that didn’t mean she planned to move excessively.

Although she was in a calm state, Woo Ha-na was also making her first climb just like all the other Awakened gathered here.

Woo Ha-na was about to activate her acceleration ability when she became flustered.

‘Huh? Why does it feel lighter…?’

Suddenly, Yujun’s words came to mind.

-Ha-na, when you accelerate, try concentrating mana around your waist area.

She had simply done as he said.

Kwang-!

But her body shot out like a bullet.

She was momentarily flustered, but cheered at the free feeling she felt throughout her entire body.

Yes, this was exactly her ability.

‘I can become even faster.’

And.

‘I can control it as much as I want!’

Woo Ha-na carried out Yujun’s teachings exactly as instructed.

So everything felt incredibly easy.

‘Is the 5th Floor originally this easy?’

But none of the other Awakened who entered with Woo Ha-na could move as naturally as she did.

“What, what’s that? How is she moving like that?”

The Team Leader of Sales Team 3, who watched the entire scene from behind, couldn’t help but be shocked.

He had heard that she had completely changed as a person after receiving just a few recent training sessions, but seeing it directly was beyond imagination.

So he made a resolution.

As soon as he returned, he would look into that trainer.

* * *

The person responsible for unleashing Woo Ha-na’s potential, Kang Yu-jun, was reviewing his previous training at the Sky Guild Training Grounds.

“Hmm.”

He had trained the Sky Guild’s Youth members, including Kim Gyo-jun and Woo Ha-na, over several days.

“Points don’t go up just by doing a lot.”

After training Woo Ha-na and Kim Gyo-jun, his points had increased, but training other Awakened didn’t raise his points.

‘From the middle part, I was getting tired too.’

The skills of the Awakened Training System consumed mana. Of course, it didn’t consume a lot of mana.

‘It’s a small but continuous mana consumption.’

Moreover, the amount of mana consumed varied depending on the training subject.

Furthermore, Awakened scanning and analysis consumed more mental energy than expected.

One or two people might be manageable, but when the number exceeded double digits, Yujun quickly became exhausted.

‘Now I need to teach even more Awakened.’

If he gradually became accustomed to it, he would be able to teach Awakened more efficiently.

Actually, this was quite remarkable.

When a new trainer teaches as many as twenty trainees, some are bound to be neglected to some extent. But Yujun didn’t neglect teaching even a single person.

He couldn’t.

‘Everyone must be desperate.’

Yujun understood that desperate feeling better than anyone.

Everyone concentrates on training because they want to do even a little better, want to learn even a little more.

How could he neglect teaching such people?

That’s why Yujun had no choice but to do his best.

‘I was like that too. Of course, I did give trainers a sense of despair.’

In the end, no trainer was able to awaken Yujun.

It was clearly due to Yujun’s lack of talent.

Because of that, many trainers experienced despair, and some trainers even quit being trainers altogether.

‘If there’s no talent, there’s nothing I can do about it. But I need to be able to bring out the talent they have.’

Not a single one among the Youth lacked talent.

They all possessed excellent talent and had the potential to unleash it to any extent.

“This Verbal Correction ability has potential beyond what I imagined. I’m just not utilizing it properly right now.”

Verbal Correction was an ability that allowed targets to move according to Yujun’s words.

The true value of this ability lay in making the Awakened being trained move according to Yujun’s will, enabling them to understand theories instantaneously.

Woo Ha-na, the first target, was smarter than Yujun had expected.

“She simply didn’t know the sensation. Verbal Correction made her aware of it, and once she knew the sensation, she soared in an instant.”

During the second training session, Yujun also used Verbal Correction, focusing on awakening her senses just like in the first training.

As a result, Woo Ha-na firmly mastered the sensation in her body.

“And Awakened Analysis. The more I use this, the more amazing it becomes. I thought it was so natural in the Tower of Infinity, but the effects are considerable.”

Woo Ha-na was so well-balanced that comparing her to Kim Gyo-jun would be an insult to her.

When he corrected her weaknesses from there, her physical and mental grades rose instantly.

Yujun checked the information he gained from training Woo Ha-na.

-Training of Awakened Woo Ha-na has been completed.

-Training score 6/10

-You have gained points according to your training score.

He gained a whopping 2 points.

-[Points Held: 3 P]

“6 points out of 10.”

It was a training result 1 point higher than before.

Thanks to that, he was able to gain 1 more point as well.

“She went from D to C.”

Then a new notification appeared.

Ding-!

-You have received a trainee growth bonus!

-You gained 1P!

“Huh?”

Trainee growth bonus.

Woo Ha-na, who was currently challenging the tower, had achieved results, earning Yujun additional points.

“Do I get additional points when trainees achieve results?”

It meant that whenever trainees achieved solid results, it would be a considerable benefit to Yujun.

At this realization, Yujun smiled.

His body and mind were both exhausted, but it was enough to make his motivation surge.

“First, I need to gather more points and unlock the remaining Lv.1 skills.”

He had opened Awakened Scan and Awakened Analysis.

Now there was exactly one left.

Then the training ground door opened.

“Trainer Kang Yu-jun!”

A massive, bearded Awakened came running toward Yujun with thundering footsteps.

“Yes, what can I do for you?”

“Awakened Woo Ha-na. Did Trainer Kang Yu-jun train her?”

He spoke with a fierce expression.

However, Yujun answered leisurely.

It didn’t feel like he intended to harm him.

“Yes. I trained her. What’s the matter?”

“Woo Ha-na, who Trainer Kang trained…”

Suddenly, the giant Awakened, the Team Leader of Sales Team 3, broke into a wide smile.

The impact was considerable when someone who had been making such a fearsome expression started laughing.

“How on earth did you train her? She’s become a completely different person. She cleared the 5th Floor all by herself. Thanks to that, the other Awakened couldn’t train properly. She did everything herself!”

The Team Leader of Sales Team 3 continued with hearty laughter.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, we’ve gained a good talent. I came to express my gratitude. Thank you so much.”

“Not at all. I’m the one who’s grateful. Thank you for giving Ms. Woo Ha-na the opportunity.”

Such favorable looks from a veteran Awakened had been so long in coming that Yujun unconsciously clenched his fists.

‘This is good.’

It was considerable satisfaction.

* * *

The story spread throughout Sky Guild.

That Woo Ha-na, who had been called up to Sales Team 3, had shown overwhelming skill on the 5th Floor of the tower.

The story was that she had stood at the vanguard, leaving the other Awakened behind, and caught all the monsters.

“Woo Ha-na? What are you talking about? Wasn’t Woo Ha-na the one who couldn’t fix that problem?”

Among the guild members, there was no one who didn’t know about Woo Ha-na.

It was natural since she was a Youth that Sky Guild had continuously supported.

As such, he was also aware of Woo Ha-na’s problems.

The major issue being that her mana control was lacking compared to her talent, and she couldn’t perform mana circulation properly.

They used to whisper that if she couldn’t fix that problem, even if she got called up to the Sales Team, she wouldn’t be able to perform properly.

“So it’s been fixed?”

That Woo Ha-na’s problems had been resolved was proven by this climb to the 5th floor of the tower.

“I heard the newly contracted Trainer gave her training?”

“After just a few sessions, it was immediately resolved!”

Among the Awakened in Sky Guild, there were more who didn’t receive training.

Everyone had their own methods for the most part, so they only sought out trainers when problems occasionally arose or when there was something they didn’t know.

“I should go find him!”

They all set out to find Yujun.

* * *

Guild Master’s Office of the Sky Guild.

“Hm? What’s going on?”

“I think you need to see this.”

Guild Master Lee Hyeok-jun tilted his head at Manager Lee’s flustered appearance.

“What’s this about? Woo Ha-na?”

“That Trainer Kang Yu-jun…”

“Did some problem arise? That shouldn’t be possible, right? Ha-na’s training went amazingly well. Of course, Ha-na is definitely lacking in experience, but it shouldn’t be to the extent that she can’t handle Team 3, right?”

“That’s not it. Just take a look first.”

Manager Lee played a video.

Guild Master Lee Hyeok-jun watched the video while thinking of Kang Yu-jun.

He was talented enough to become a top trainer.

That’s why he broke the convention of not entrusting Youth to freelancers and assigned him Youth education.

From what he heard, he was quite popular among the Youth as well.

Kang Yu-jun’s teaching methods were fresh, and the Youth were greatly satisfied with the movements that were immediately corrected.

“I brought footage from the 5th floor. Ha-na’s debut.”

5th Floor of the Tower of Clouds.

Sky Guild used to film videos for guild members who were just starting tower climbing.

This was to allow them to see how they looked from a third-person perspective.

They might think they were moving calmly, but many Awakened realized what they were lacking after seeing themselves moving awkwardly in the video.

“Starting from here.”

At Manager Lee’s words, the Guild Master focused on the video.

Then he was immediately startled.

“Huh? Why are her movements like this?”

Woo Ha-na, who had been at the vanguard, suddenly shot forward.

Overwhelmingly fast movement.

A speed he had never seen before.

Her movements were also very fluid, as if she had completely made them her own.

“Is this really Ha-na? Wow, what is this? I heard the training went well, but it turned out like this?”

The Guild Master’s jaw dropped.

She was much faster than what he had seen at the Training Ground back then.

It was truly an abnormal growth rate.

“She got even faster? That’s impossible. She’s much faster than back then! No matter how well the training went, this is…”

“Yes, I was very surprised too.”

Manager Lee nodded and said.

“I heard Trainer Kang Yu-jun gave her one more training session before going to the 5th floor.”

“Ha, even so, that’s only three training sessions total, right? So this was achieved in just three sessions? The bad habit of poor mana circulation was completely fixed, and this posture, her posture also changed properly?”

“Yes, everything that couldn’t be fixed for a long time has been corrected. And here, if you look at this part…”

Manager Lee continued his explanation, but Guild Master Lee Hyeok-jun couldn’t take his eyes off the video.

Woo Ha-na’s movements in the video were truly ghostlike.

Not only was her attack speed impressive, but her posture was excellent.

Her mana circulation was also stable.

Compared to before, her movements were so excellent that she couldn’t be considered the same person.

What particularly stood out was her confidence.

Until now, Woo Ha-na hadn’t been able to properly utilize her abilities.

There was the problem of mana circulation, but her acceleration ability was also a big issue.

Despite having the excellent ability of acceleration, she couldn’t figure out how to use that ability.

But Woo Ha-na in the video was freely controlling acceleration and deceleration.

She accelerated quickly when she needed to move fast, and decelerated precisely when she needed to reduce speed.

“We told her about this repeatedly, but it wouldn’t get fixed. But she fixed it. Ha, really.”

Fast, slow.

He had talked until he was sick of it that being fast wasn’t necessarily good, but there seemed to be no sign of improvement.

Even that bad habit had been corrected.

Guild Master Lee Hyeok-jun could only mutter like that.

“Just how… did he do it?”

Just what kind of training did he give Woo Ha-na for her to change like this?

The corners of the questioning Guild Master’s mouth twitched.

“Ah, that’s not what’s important. I should pay the performance bonus first.”

This was an achievement.

A definite achievement!

“And the contract renewal….”

Woo Ha-na would now rise rapidly upward like taking an elevator.

Manager Lee asked cautiously.

“…Should we?”

Now Yujun held the knife.

He had become someone they needed to ask to please renew the contract, rather than someone they would offer a contract renewal to.

The guild leader frowned at Manager Lee’s words.

The situation had completely reversed.

“We’ll probably get rejected, but we should try with significantly better conditions first. We have to secure this. This will be Sky Guild’s opportunity!”

The contract currently signed with Kang Yu-jun was a 3-month short-term contract.

It was natural. There were hardly any guilds that would sign long-term contracts with freelance trainers who had just entered the industry.

Especially Kang Yu-jun had no experience whatsoever, and until recently, wasn’t he a Youth who had been expelled for failing to awaken?

The guild leader smiled bitterly as he recalled his recent conversation with Yujun.

“So that’s why he was so confident. That’s why he rejected the contract that included permanent employment conversion.”

He had even shortened the duration.

They had been thinking of offering up to 6 months, but at Kang Yu-jun’s request, they had signed a 3-month short-term contract.

“Let’s make an offer first.”

First priority was a large sum of money.

* * *

Kim Min-seok, who had introduced Yujun to Sky Guild, was quite worried.

-Hey, Min-seok!

“Ah, Manager Han. How have you been! I should have contacted you first. How have you been?”

-I’ve been well! But more importantly. What exactly is going on with that friend Kang Yu-jun?

“Pardon?”

Kim Min-seok tensed up at Manager Han’s sudden words.

He was the one who had introduced Yujun to Manager Han. In other words, if Yujun made mistakes, Kim Min-seok’s reputation would also fall.

‘Did he make some mistake?’

It was understandable.

Yujun becoming a trainer was recent, when until not long ago he had been a Youth at a guild.

He had never even received trainer education.

Of course, Yujun had something special about him.

If he had properly shown that specialness, it would have been quite satisfactory.

Since this was also Yujun’s first time in earnest trainer life, it seemed he had made many mistakes in various ways.

Min-seok apologized first.

“I’m sorry. That friend really has outstanding talent. He ended up that way because he couldn’t awaken, but his training skills are really truly….”

-You should be sorry! You should have recommended such talent sooner!

“…Pardon?”

But his expectations were greatly off.

Manager Han’s voice didn’t seem to have any anger at all.

-It’s amazing!

And it was an overwhelming success at that.
