Transcendent Genius Trainer Episode 86
Meanwhile, after Yujun returned, the One-Shot Guild immediately challenged a high-level raid.
Yongsan Tower of Indomitable.
This Tower of Indomitable was a high-level raid tower that the One-Shot Guild had challenged and failed in the past.
It was a tower where all floors except the last had been conquered, but One-Shot couldn’t even properly climb the middle floors, let alone the final floor.
The One-Shot Guild members had entered that tower where they had tasted their limits once again.
“Oh?”
“It’s One-Shot?”
“Long time no see!”
Guild members from other guilds who recognized the One-Shot Guild Master greeted them.
“Long time no see.”
Lee An-guk also lightly greeted them while looking at them.
“Are you here to conquer by any chance?”
“Come on, no way! You probably came for support. As mercenaries.”
At those words, an Awakened from another guild smiled slightly and spoke.
It wasn’t meant to be dismissive, but the situation was such.
Any decent guild knew what kind of limits the One-Shot Guild was facing.
In fact, this wasn’t something that only happened to One-Shot.
“It’s romantic, but single-class guilds have their limits.”
The moment they challenge high-level towers, they hit a wall and feel their limitations.
One-Shot had also felt those limitations many times and had lost competitiveness in high-level raids.
Of course, this was the same even with Deputy Hong Jun-yong present.
In these high-level raids, a powerful S-rank like Hong Jun-yong should be the main force, but Hong Jun-yong also had major problems.
When the moment came for Hong Jun-yong to handle everything, he needed to endure by unleashing Hong Jun-yong’s power, but Hong Jun-yong had issues with his abilities.
The problem of coughing up blood.
If he used his abilities continuously, he would keep spitting blood.
Even after thorough medical examinations showed nothing wrong with his body, everyone thought it was Hong Jun-yong’s mental problem.
The guild itself felt limitations in high-level raids due to its overall strength, and even their ace Hong Jun-yong was feeling limitations, so it was fair to say they had virtually no competitiveness in high-level raids.
Since such a One-Shot had come to a high-level raid tower, while some felt sorry for them, others sent mocking glances.
Moreover, since even Hong Jun-yong was nowhere to be seen, it was natural for everyone to think they had just come for some light support.
“Oh? Deputy Hong isn’t here?”
“I guess it’s really true.”
They were certain they had come as mercenaries.
“Who called them?”
“Still, those ranged Awakened over there have decent skills.”
“But hey, didn’t all their trainers run away? Because they were too difficult to train.”
“Bad enough to run away?”
“Then even if they came as mercenaries, hmm.”
Guild Master Lee An-guk smiled while looking at them.
Though the words could have been offensive, Guild Master Lee An-guk couldn’t feel bad no matter what he heard right now.
“We came to conquer.”
“Pardon?”
“To conquer?”
“Well, if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do. And Deputy Hong, whom you’re all curious about.”
Deputy Hong Jun-yong had gone somewhere else.
“He went to do a solo raid at the Tower of Winds.”
“Pardon?”
“…How can a ranged Awakened do a solo raid at the Tower of Winds?”
The Tower of Winds, as its name suggested, was a tower with tremendous gales blowing through it.
Because of this, it was also called the graveyard of ranged Awakened. When forming teams, they absolutely never included ranged Awakened, and even magic-type Awakened wouldn’t even set foot there.
It was a place where only close-combat Awakened formed teams to go, but Hong Jun-yong had gone to such a place alone?
“Our Deputy Hong overcame the wind. Well, if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do.”
Guild Master Lee An-guk chuckled and immediately entered the Tower of Indomitable.
“Then let’s show them.”
The Guild Master didn’t say much.
There was no need for long words in the first place.
Shaaaaaaak-.
The guild members’ aura was extraordinary from the start.
Kang Yu-jun, and Seo Yu-ri.
The guild members who had been endlessly refined by the two trainers were actually looking forward to this tower.
Until now, it was a tower that had threatened their lives and shown them their limits completely.
“I feel like we can do anything.”
However, they were no longer afraid.
Tower of Indomitable 6th Floor.
This place had different concepts for each floor, so some floors had limited numbers of people who could enter, while other floors could be conquered together by everyone.
The One-Shot Guild, which started conquering from the 1st floor, reached the 6th floor, which had been their previous highest conquered floor, in an instant.
There was almost no stamina consumption. It was so easy that even they were in a bewildered state.
“…?”
“It’s One-Shot?”
“Did they come to challenge again?”
“They always got blocked at the 6th floor.”
“If they stubbornly stick to that single approach, they’ll never break through the 6th floor. There are so many charging monsters on the 6th floor.”
“Look at the demon beasts. They’re completely specialized in defending against ranged attacks, so close combat is absolutely necessary.”
“No, rather, I think they should learn close combat. They’re just too stubborn.”
Those who were taking a break clicked their tongues while looking at the One-Shot Guild.
One Shot had failed many times before.
That’s why they didn’t have much expectation.
Shaaaaak-.
Krung-! Krung-!
As One Shot advanced, the demon beasts approached at tremendous speed.
The massive demon beast, Evil Spirit Tree.
It had a pattern where hundreds of branches would attack the Awakened in an instant, and another attack pattern where demon beasts grown from its roots would charge forward.
On top of that, it had a strong resistance trait against ranged attacks, so One Shot always struggled against this Evil Spirit Tree and repeatedly retreated.
Gulp-.
Guild Master Lee An-guk had even suffered a piercing wound while trying to protect his guild members from this Evil Spirit Tree.
“The trauma must be coming back.”
A guild member from another guild frowned.
“They’re being too greedy. What won’t work just won’t work…”
But then.
Lee An-guk was the first to dive inward.
Then he approached close to the Evil Spirit Tree and loaded his pistol.
Click-.
“From the closest range.”
The most explosive power.
Just because you’re a ranged Awakened doesn’t mean you have to insist on attacking only from far distances.
What’s important is moving flexibly.
“I’ll make a ranged attack.”
A ranged attack from the closest distance.
Guild Master Lee An-guk fired a mana bullet exactly as he had learned from Yujun.
Kwak-.
Kwagagagagagagagak-!
The tremendously powerful mana bullet instantly shattered dozens of the Evil Spirit Tree’s branches.
“Huh?”
“What, what is that…?”
“He’s diving in…?”
“He dove in and has that kind of power?”
Ranged Awakened naturally attack by keeping their distance.
This meant there was no diving pattern like what they were seeing now.
They felt a speed from Lee An-guk that they had never seen before.
And it was the same for the other guild members.
Pak-! Pabak-!
The guild members moved at incomparably faster speeds than before and fired at the Evil Spirit Tree.
Kwaak-! Kwaak-!
Each strike, each blow carried tremendous power.
“Wow…”
“It’s working, it’s working.”
The power was so great that even the guild members themselves were surprised.
They never imagined their attacks could be this strong.
They had confidence in the lower floors since they had conquered them many times.
But the 6th floor with this Evil Spirit Tree had always brought them tension and despair.
Such a place was being conquered easily.
They could climb higher.
“Crazy.”
“Wa, is One Shot really conquering the 6th floor right now?”
“No, is that really One Shot?”
This wasn’t the One Shot that others knew.
Their movements were incredible, as if each of them had risen at least one rank.
“Did they receive… training? No, can training really change someone so dramatically?”
Everyone knows.
That all trainers avoid One Shot, which only has ranged Awakened.
But seeing such a change, they could only think that a trainer had been involved.
“For them to change to that degree… an incredible trainer must have worked with them.”
At least S-rank.
No, to change like that, it would have to be one of South Korea’s top trainers.
But who on earth could it have been? All the top trainers already had their nests.
Freelance trainers often don’t take requests from guilds the size of One Shot Guild.
Guild Master Lee An-guk was very pleased with the shocked reactions of the other guild members.
Ttiring-!
-The Tower of Indomitable’s record is being updated!
-Conquest score has been calculated!
-Conquest score: A
-You have successfully conquered the 7th floor!
“Crazy…”
Conquest score: A
“It’s just been confirmed… the trainer who trained One Shot… is Kang Yu-jun?”
Everyone made expressions of disbelief.
“Can one training session really change them this much?”
* * *
“Then I’ll handle the Insect Tower matter for now.”
-Thank you, Yujun! I’ll send you the details through my secretary… no, I’ll come visit you personally. I’ll buy a nice gift and come over as a housewarming present!
This was Kang Yu-jun who had even accepted the Insect Tower request.
Even though he said he would pay a proper price, he was still VVIP level without a doubt.
Right now, Kang Yu-jun was accomplishing things that existing Trainers couldn’t do.
So this level of care was only natural.
‘I didn’t know he’d treat me this well.’
Yujun was a little surprised by the goodwill that exceeded his expectations.
“Hmm.”
He said there was about a month’s time for the Insect Tower matter.
“The Management Bureau Awakened who were in charge of conquering the Tower are injured.”
He said those injuries needed to be resolved first before they could start work.
Then there was no need to go there immediately.
‘I should set priorities first.’
The Insect Tower and the request to train a dragon were matters that would proceed only after the Director returned.
If he were to decide what to do before that.
‘The Tower of Infinity will probably appear soon.’
Then he needed to fill up his division in preparation for that Tower of Infinity.
‘I should talk to each guild.’
He planned to tell the Awakened he had taught – Im Seok-jae, Lee Su-yeon, Yu Je-na and others – about the division.
‘They can be active in their respective guilds while also conquering the Tower of Infinity in my division.’
Originally, guilds don’t tolerate this kind of dual employment.
But it was a feasible plan because Yujun had built quite good relationships with those Awakened’s Guild Masters.
‘Even if they’re a bit reluctant at first, they’ll eventually accept it.’
They wouldn’t want to worsen their relationship with him.
Besides, they had to consider their relationships with those Awakened too.
‘And next, I go to Uijeongbu as planned.’
Yujun planned to go to the Gate Front in Uijeongbu and unlock all the Lv.3 essential skills.
‘I have quite a lot of points right now, but this won’t be enough.’
There were an enormous number of skills to learn, and from Lv.3 onwards, the points required to learn skills would probably be very high.
Yujun checked his points.
-Owned Points: 4,500P
Yujun’s current points were 4,500.
‘After reaching Lv.3, I unlocked exactly one skill.’
The passive skill Slow Motion.
There were still mountains of skills to learn.
‘Then let me check first. Starting with Hidden Trait Bestowal.’
-Hidden Trait Bestowal requires 2,000P.
Yujun nodded at the considerably high point requirement.
‘As expected.’
It was no different from the Tower of Infinity.
This was exactly why they said Lv.3 was where things got real.
Because the points required to learn skills increased dramatically.
2,000 points.
After using this, he would only have 2,500 points left.
‘But I have more than five skills to learn.’
This Hidden Trait Bestowal was probably the lowest point cost.
‘Slow Motion is a passive skill and feels like a bonus given when you reach Lv.3.’
That’s why it had low point requirements, but other skills were different.
Still, he had to learn them eventually, so Yujun immediately learned the skill.
Ding-!
-You have learned Hidden Trait Bestowal!
Shaaaak-.
A blue light settled in Yujun’s hands.
-You can bestow hidden traits on subjects during training.
-Currently unlocked hidden traits: [3]
-Hidden traits you can bestow change according to proficiency and Achievement completion!
Yujun immediately checked the hidden traits he could bestow.
-Hidden Trait [Combat Healing]
-Hidden Trait [Sharp Fangs]
-Hidden Trait [Tough Hide]
Battle Healing, Sharp Fangs, Tough Hide.
All of them were B-grade hidden traits.
‘Battle Healing rapidly increases healing power during combat, Sharp Fangs increases attack power, and Tough Hide increases defense.’
He could grant these B-grade hidden traits to any training subject.
Of course, they had to be qualified.
‘And I can create that qualification through training.’
Yujun grinned.
-Train special subjects and acquire new hidden traits!
‘If I train various Awakened, I can obtain even higher-grade hidden traits.’
There are many types of Awakened at Uijeongbu Gate Front that he had never trained before.
‘It’s the perfect destination.’
Yujun next tried to learn the skill [Limit Enhancement].
-Checking conditions for learning Limit Enhancement.
-Checking Trainer Kang Yu-jun’s status.
Shaaaaaaak-!
Suddenly, something engulfed Yujun’s body.
“…!”
